Chapter 331: Battling the Silver Corpses
Spirit trees, barriers that blocked out divine consciousnesses, barren areas, cultivation…
When he strung these things together and pondered over them carefully, it was terrifying.
The more the black-bearded elder thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
At this moment, Guang Bai and Guang Jiu suddenly shouted, “Elder, we have a situation!”
Everyone was stunned.
A group of people appeared on the screen.
It was w.a.n.g Zhixing and company.
“So fast?” The black-bearded elder’s expression darkened.
“Elder, the group chasing us is only in the Soul Transformation realm. Look…” Guang Bai said.
The black-bearded elder thought for a moment and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to kill them. Capture one first for questioning.
“I find this place a little strange. ”
“Understood!”
After receiving the order, Guang Bai and Guang Jiu immediately ordered the two Silver Corpses to turn around and fly towards w.a.n.g Zhixing and company.
“Stop!” w.a.n.g Zhixing’s divine consciousness discovered the other party’s movements, and he immediately stopped.
“Peak Master, what’s wrong?” The elder beside him asked.
w.a.n.g Zhixing said with a grave expression, “The enemy is moving towards us.”
The expressions of the elders and disciples instantly changed.
Before setting out, w.a.n.g Zhixing had explained the situation clearly. He knew that this unknown enemy was very powerful—several major realms above them.
“Peak Master, what should we do?” An elder asked.
w.a.n.g Zhixing pondered and said, “Although the other party’s cultivation realm far exceeds ours, it’s not like we have no chance of winning. We can…”
On the other side.
“Elder, those people have stopped. They seem to be setting up array formations.” Guang Bai and Guang Jiu’s divine consciousness captured w.a.n.g Zhixing’s movements.
The black-bearded elder said in a low voice, “Don’t be careless. Don’t be in a rush to attack. Test them first.”
“Understood!”
Not long after, the two Silver Corpses met w.a.n.g Zhixing and company.
“Friends who have come from afar, isn’t it impolite to barge into someone else’s house without greeting them?” w.a.n.g Zhixing began calmly.
A Silver Corpse said, “Well we are greeting you now.”
w.a.n.g Zhixing laughed. “Friend, your words are interesting.”
“Shouldn’t you apologize first before introducing yourselves?”
“Elder? How should we respond?” Guang Bai and Guang Jiu asked the black-bearded elder.
The black-bearded elder pondered for a moment and said, “Just say that you came from the Planet Lanting and are on a mission. You happened to pa.s.s by here and were curious, you didn’t barge in on purpose.”
“Roger!”
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu repeated the words of the black-bearded elder through the Silver Corpses.
When w.a.n.g Zhixing heard this, he chuckled. “Friend, aren’t you thinking too little of me?
“Let’s a.s.sume that you did come here by accident then. But from the murderous look on your faces just now, you surely don’t have any good intentions! ”
w.a.n.g Zhixing’s expression turned cold as he spoke. At the same time, he secretly used his divine consciousness to communicate with the elders and disciples.
The Silver Corpses only rubbed their heads and smiled foolishly. Guang Bai and Guang Jiu looked at the black-bearded elder.
The black-bearded elder said, “Looks like they aren’t willing to let the matter rest.
“Since that’s the case… we shall not stand on ceremony. ”
Pausing for a moment, he added, “Guang Bai, Guang Jiu, remember this. Do not get caught up in fighting. The goal is to capture one of them.”
“Roger!”
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu then used a special spell of the Corpse Refinement Faction to put their own consciousness into the two Silver Corpses.
At this moment, the two Silver Corpses were Guang Bai and Guang Jiu. There was no need for them to control them remotely anymore.
“Kill!”
The moment they possessed the corpses, Guang Bai and Guang Jiu charged towards w.a.n.g Zhixing and company.
w.a.n.g Zhixing was already prepared. He shouted, “Array formation, rise!”
The elders and disciples beside him spread out, forming hand seals with their hands and chanting incantations.
In that instant, within a radius of five kilometers, a multi-colored light screen lit up on the ground, and a huge barrier was erected.
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu, who were enveloped in the barrier, felt their bodies become heavier. Their cultivation abilities were suppressed to an extent.
They had fallen from the Void Refinement realm to the Soul Splitting realm.
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu were shocked. This was the first time they had encountered such an array formation in their lives.
“Elder, not only is this array formation able to reduce one’s cultivation, but it also increases the gravity.
“We feel like our bodies are filled with lead,” the two said.
“Don’t be distracted. Fight with all your might!
“Even if your cultivation is weakened, you are still stronger than them. If you panic, it will be troublesome.”
The black-bearded elder reminded them.
Although he had said so, he was still very nervous.
Such a high-level array formation… It seems like the forces that rule this planet are not ordinary!
We don’t know anything about them at the moment. They must have some hidden means coming later.
With this in mind, the black-bearded elder arranged for a few more juniors to support Guang Bai and Guang Jiu.
“Elder, why didn’t you send us?
“These juniors don’t have enough combat experience, they will easily get into trouble.”
The middle-aged men who stayed behind asked unhappily.
The black-bearded elder said, “Of course I know that.”
“Then why…”
The black-bearded elder raised his palm and said in a deep voice, “It’s precisely because these juniors are inexperienced that I let them go.
“You must know that we are the main fighting force.
“If something happens to us, we will be wiped out sooner or later.”
With this, the middle-aged men immediately understood.
“Elder, I was shortsighted.”
“However, those people are merely in the Soul Transformation realm. Even with the support of the array, Guang Bai and Guang Jiu should be able to escape easily!”
The black-bearded elder said, “I don’t want them to just escape. I want them to capture someone.
“I already suspected that some forces had already set foot on this planet.
“Furthermore, this faction is extraordinary.”
Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard this.
“Elder, if that’s the case, wouldn’t we be asking for trouble if we were to capture them?”
The black-bearded elder went on in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t forget the purpose of our trip.
“If we understand the situation of the forces on this planet, it will be easy to seize it.
“The higher-ups will definitely reward us for that. If they give us an Immortal Corpse, wouldn’t we be soaring into the sky?”
When everyone heard that, their faces lit up.
They had already begun to fantasize about controlling Immortal Corpses.
Meanwhile…
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu had already exchanged several thousand blows with w.a.n.g Zhixing.
They were all sword cultivators.
Sword cultivators were known for their fast and strong attacks.
In just one breath, they had exchanged over a hundred blows.
Although w.a.n.g Zhixing’s cultivation was only in the Soul Transformation realm, one major realm lower than Guang Bai and Guang Jiu, his sword techniques were superior, and he had the upper hand.
After all, Guang Bai and Guang Jiu were not true sword cultivators. They only used the bodies of sword cultivators and could not fully unleash the power of one.
In a game, even if you had good equipment, it would be useless if your handling sucked.
“Guang Bai, this can’t go on. We have to think of something.”
“His sword is too fast, and it’s hard to catch it even with divine consciousness. I can only rely on the Silver Corpse’s combat instincts.”
“How about this? I’ll deal with him alone while you go and capture the others.”
“Can you do it alone?” Guang Jiu doubted.
“Even if I can’t, I have to. Besides, we’re immortal.”
“But if you die too many times…”
“Stop talking and do as I say. Besides, reinforcements are on the way. As long as we hold up for a while, the rest will be easy.”
“Alright then! Be careful.”
The two conversed as they dealt with w.a.n.g Zhixing’s attacks.
After reaching an agreement, Guang Jiu’s eyes flashed. He discovered a young man with stripes on his face in the southeast direction.
“You’re only in the Nascent Soul realm. I’ll catch you!”
