Chapter 2397 - 2397: Death of the Venerable

The coffin was indeed very heavy, but the Purple Robe Lama was no weakling; he forcibly pushed it up.

Wanyan Hongsheng was somewhat surprised. In his view, the Purple Robe Lama was only exceptionally fast but average in strength. He didn't expect the Purple Robe Lama could withstand it. He slightly furrowed his brows, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he directly let go and then forcefully slapped the coffin.

The material of the coffin wasn't very sturdy. After Wanyan Hongsheng slapped it, a hole appeared, and blood gushed out.

The coffin was actually filled with blood, no wonder it was so heavy!

The Purple Robe Lama stood beneath the coffin, and the blood sprayed all over him. Seeing Wanyan Hongsheng release the coffin, he let out a roar, intending to throw the coffin away. But surprisingly, the coffin seemed glued to his hands, and he couldn't throw it off.

The Purple Robe Lama was stunned, while Wanyan Hongsheng had already commanded the three peak masters to retreat. Only the Purple Robe Lama was left holding the coffin, and he clearly felt a powerful suction inside the coffin, constantly drawing his strength into it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push the coffin away because the suction force was much greater than his own strength!

"Purple Robe Lama, wait for death!" Wanyan Hongsheng laughed loudly, grabbed another coffin, and ran straight toward the Bloody Monk at the edge of the cliff.

Seeing the situation, the Purple Robe Lama gritted his teeth and, disregarding the coffin continuously absorbing his strength, dashed toward Wanyan Hongsheng with the coffin. Since he was already stuck with the coffin, he couldn't avoid it, so he decided to fight desperately. In any case, he had to protect the Bloody Monk because the Bloody Monk was still holding the lives of more than a dozen people!

The Purple Robe Lama's speed ultimately gave him an edge. He caught up with Wanyan Hongsheng before he reached the Bloody Monk. Without wasting words, the Purple Robe Lama lifted the coffin and smashed it down toward Wanyan Hongsheng, ready to fight to a mutual defeat!

Wanyan Hongsheng didn't expect the Purple Robe Lama to be so fierce. Although stuck to the coffin, he still attacked. Seeing the coffin about to hit him, Wanyan Hongsheng was so frightened that he went weak, dared not hesitate a moment, and immediately turned to run.

However, he could run away himself, but he couldn't avoid the coffin in his hand. It collided directly with the coffin in Purple Robe Lama's hand, breaking a large hole and spilling the blood inside.

Wanyan Hongsheng was clever. Seeing the two coffins about to collide, he instantly let go, so he wasn't sucked by the coffin. But the coffin was caught by the one in Purple Robe Lama's hands. Both coffins were continuously absorbing the Purple Robe Lama's strength, depleting it even faster.

"Purple Robe Lama, you're courting death!" Wanyan Hongsheng roared in anger, but the Purple Robe Lama ignored the coffins stuck to him and chased after him with them, clearly prepared to fight to the death!

Wanyan Hongsheng dared not get close to the Purple Robe Lama, chased to a frantic state, fleeing while shouting loudly, "Purple Robe Lama, you're dead! You're dead!"

The Purple Robe Lama seemed oblivious, holding the coffins and increasing his speed in pursuit. Even at the brink of death, he wanted to drag Wanyan Hongsheng down with him. Strangely, the two coffins just absorbed his strength without any power erupting, a bit different from what Wanyan Hongsheng had said.

After being chased for a while, Wanyan Hongsheng, embarrassed and angry, shouted loudly, "Purple Robe Lama, do you really think I can't deal with you? If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now!"

The Purple Robe Lama paid no attention to him and continued to chase fiercely. Wanyan Hongsheng was even more furious and said, "Fine, Purple Robe Lama, today I'll spare a few lives but I'll first cripple you!"

With that, Wanyan Hongsheng swung his hand fiercely towards the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were several people carrying the third coffin. Seeing Wanyan Hongsheng's actions, they immediately lifted the coffin and fiercely threw it towards Helian Tiehua and his two companions.

Helian Tiehua and his companions were being attacked by several peak masters. Upon seeing the coffin descending, those masters immediately turned and fled. Helian Tiehua and his companions dared not be careless either and hurriedly retreated. After all, the things mentioned by the Purple Robe Lama about the Divine Clan's corpse made everyone wary about this coffin.

The coffin hit the ground, yet it didn't touch a single person. However, it shattered, and the blood inside burst out.

As the coffin below shattered, the Purple Robe Lama, who was chasing Wanyan Hongsheng up the mountain, suddenly felt that the two coffins beside him stopped absorbing his power. Instead, a powerful force emerged from within the two coffins. Before the Purple Robe Lama could react, the coffins exploded simultaneously, and the combined force struck him.

The Purple Robe Lama was caught between the two forces and was instantly sent flying, crashing into several large rocks before coming to a stop. His body was drenched in blood, with no intact part of his body, showcasing how terrifying the explosive power was!

Down the mountain, the coffin also exploded simultaneously with the other two coffins. It was like a bomb, and the powerful impact sent everyone around flying. Although Helian Tiehua and his companions had retreated to a distance, they were still impacted by the force. Only Helian Tiehua managed to barely stand, while the other two elders were severely injured and on the brink of death.

In fact, the explosion's impact affected not only Helian Tiehua and his companions but also the experts of the Wanyan Family, who were also blasted away. The peak masters were heavily injured, and those who hadn't reached peak level were immediately killed on the spot, showing just how powerful the coffin's explosive force was!

The situation on the mountain was slightly better; the explosion's range wasn't large, and Wanyan Hongsheng and his team were merely bounced a bit and suffered no injuries. The only one injured by the explosion was the Purple Robe Lama. Judging from his injuries, he was undoubtedly doomed!

One of the Five Unmatches of the World, the Guardian of the Faith Elder from Brahmanism, ultimately couldn't escape the prophecy of the Reincarnated True Buddha. After meeting the Bloody Monk, he finally died here and could never return to Brahmanism!

Seeing the shattered body of the Purple Robe Lama on the ground, Wanyan Hongsheng burst into wild laughter, "Hahaha, did you really think overhearing a few words from me could save these people? Hmph, you're too naive! Do you even know how to use the Divine Clan's corpse? Do you know how to control the explosive power to kill only those I want dead? Did you think the blood inside the coffin was for nothing? Purple Robe Lama, you sought your own death, and the result is the same, isn't it? Today, none of them will leave here alive!"

If the Purple Robe Lama were still alive, he would understand what was happening now. It turns out, the power released by the Divine Clan's corpse can be controlled, and the key to that control lies in the blood.

Actually, the three coffins contained one complete Divine Clan's corpse, not three separate bodies. It's just that one entire Divine Clan's corpse was divided into three parts and placed into three coffins. Each coffin was filled with human blood to maintain the corpse's power while also restraining it. When divided into three, enveloped by blood, the corpse's power wouldn't be released. This was an idea conceived by the Wanyan ancestors. However, when one coffin is broken, the blood flows out, and the Divine Clan corpse needs to maintain its power, thereby absorbing external force. At this point, anyone coming into contact with the coffin would be absorbed by it, which was the main reason the two coffins absorbed the Purple Robe Lama earlier.

And to release the Divine Clan's corpse's power, all three parts of the corpse must be set free. Wanyan Hongsheng originally planned to use the second coffin to hold the Bloody Monk, then use the third coffin to deal with Helian Tiehua and others. By breaking all three coffins, the power inside would be released. Meanwhile, the emerged power would prioritize attacking whomever the coffins had absorbed, another discovery from the Wanyan ancestors.

However, the first two coffins stuck to the Purple Robe Lama, causing Wanyan Hongsheng's plan to encounter some difficulties. As a result, he had no option but to temporarily ignore the Bloody Monk and instead threw the third coffin towards Helian Tiehua and others. The third coffin didn't latch onto anyone, so its force wasn't targeted, and it naturally sent Helian Tiehua and his team flying.

Of course, since the force was scattered, it weakened, so Helian Tiehua and the others were only injured, while the Purple Robe Lama was directly killed by the force!

Even so, the power of the Divine Clan's corpse was so overwhelming that it shocked Wanyan Hongsheng. He only knew about the Divine Clan's corpse from a family booklet and didn't realize how terrifying the power could be. Indeed, the family booklet actually stated that the Divine Clan's corpse was forbidden. But for the sake of merit, Wanyan Hongsheng ignored the family's ban. If he accomplished this feat, his status within the family would rise again!

Looking at the now dead Purple Robe Lama and the heavily injured Helian Tiehua and his companions down the mountain, Wanyan Hongsheng couldn't help but laugh maniacally again. He leisurely turned to the Bloody Monk and said, "Blood Robe Sect Leader, now it's just you left. What is your choice? Will you let go of the rope and let those people fall to their deaths in Panlong Valley? Or will you hold on desperately, waiting for us to kill you?"
