The corpse was tied up like a dumpling by the rapidly growing branches and stood on the spot, unable to move. Guan Zhihong, who had been severely injured, heaved a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, he decisively used his exclusive item without any hesitation. Only then did he successfully resolve the crisis.
On the other side, although Zhou Hong did not encounter a major crisis like Guan Zhihong, his situation became more and more difficult under the powerful attack of the corpse.
Zhou Hong no longer hesitated. He chose to use his exclusive item. The exclusive item he utilized was an item that could cause the target’s strength to be lost, causing the entire corpse to ceaselessly lose all its strength and collapse weakly to the ground.
The moment they got rid of the corpse, Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong immediately charged at the other corpses that crawled out of the ground to prevent their guards from being killed by these corpses.
In the previous stage, a portion of their guards had already died, especially Guan Zhihong’s guards. Now, only five were left. He could not let these guards continue to die. Otherwise, without these guards to transport the demon avatars, the box that sealed the demon avatars could only be left in place and could not be brought to the Holy Land.
They did not know if they would have a chance to unlock the box that sealed the demon avatar in the future. If the demon avatar was kept sealed in the box, then their losses would be huge. No matter what, they could not let the guards die again.
These corpses that crawled out of the ground were clearly inferior to the corpses that flew out of the coffin. With Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong’s strength, they could completely deal with it.
Xiao Shi, who had been paying attention to the situation in the valley, could not help but wonder if there was a need for him to use his exclusive items after seeing Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong use their exclusive items.
Although he did not encounter any danger in his confrontation with this corpse, the current situation was that he and this corpse could not do anything to the other party. It would be a waste of time to continue fighting like this.
Not only was this corpse’s body powerful, but its recovery ability was also extremely shocking. Even if Xiao Shi used the Qianqi Dao Slash and shattered a portion of its body, this corpse would recover completely in a few seconds.
Xiao Shi felt that if he wanted to completely destroy this corpse, it would probably take at least a day. And he couldn’t stay here and waste time with this corpse. No matter what, their understanding of this checkpoint was very limited. He could not be sure if the corpses here would be the same as the mirror image of the previous round. A wave would appear every once in a while.
If that was the case, he had to end this quickly. Otherwise, the situation would only become worse if this dragged on.
Xiao Shi immediately stopped hesitating. He decisively took out the Seductive Martial Heretic Flower. There were a total of three petals, which meant that it could be used three times. After Xiao Shi tore off a petal, he directly flicked this petal at the corpse. When this petal stuck to the corpse, the power of the corpse immediately began to flow away.
Three minutes later, all the power in this corpse had been lost, and it had directly lost its combat ability. Zhou Hong, Guan Zhihong, and a group of guards also dealt with the corpses that had crawled out from the ground.
“We have to leave as soon as possible.” Xiao Shi said in a low voice.
Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong nodded. They were also worried that the corpses here would appear over time. There were more than a hundred coffins on the cliff above their heads.
If powerful corpses comparable to peak Martial Demon Realm experts appeared in these coffins, even if they continued to use their exclusive items, they might not have the ability to walk out of this checkpoint.
They used their fastest speed to leave the valley. Fortunately, after they advanced for a long time, there were no more corpses here. They could basically confirm that the corpses here would not appear with time.
However, just as they heaved a sigh of relief, they suddenly realized that the coffins on the cliff had actually changed. The coffins from before were all dark black and rotten. Now, it has become dark red and brand new. There were obscure and profound runes on the coffins. It was not only the coffin on the cliff that had changed. The ground in front of them also turned dark red, emitting a dense smell of blood.
“It seems that this valley mainly has different locations. The previous location was the front section of the valley. Now, this might be the intermediate or the back section of the valley.” Xiao Shi said in a low voice.
Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong nodded solemnly. This also meant that when they entered this place, new corpses might appear again. As expected, as they stepped into this area, a bloody wind immediately blew in the valley.
Under this foul wind, the three crimson coffins above trembled violently, accompanied by trembling. The coffin lid flew with a bang. Three blood-colored figures rushed out. They were three blood-haired corpses. Just like the previous corpses, they had bloodshot red pupils. However, these three corpses looked even better preserved. There was not even a single livor mortis on their bodies. Apart from their expressionless stiff faces and unfocused pupils, they were no different from a living person.
When the three corpses appeared, they did the same thing at the same time. They extended their right hands to the blood-colored ground below. Their palms sank into the ground. Then, they pulled out a two-meter-long blood-colored saber from the blood-colored ground below.
The entire blood-colored long saber was suffused with tadpole-like twisted stripes. When one looked at it, they would feel a strong sense of dizziness. There was even a dense bloody aura emitted from the long saber.
Xiao Shi’s gaze turned cold. He could sense that the strength of these three corpses should not have changed much like the previous corpses. After all, the previous corpse had already reached the peak of Martial Demon Realm. Above that were Sages. And these three corpses clearly did not have the strength of a Sage.
However, there was a blood-colored long saber in their hands compared to the previous corpses. This was not an ordinary blood-colored saber. Holding such a blood-colored long saber would greatly increase their strength! It would definitely be even harder to deal with than before.
“I suggest that you use your exclusive items directly.” As soon as Xiao Shi finished speaking, the three corpses in front of them had already turned into three blood lights that charged at them at an astonishing speed.
Xiao Shi and the other two immediately welcomed them. Zhou Hong decisively used his exclusive item. Previously, they had used the exclusive items they had obtained after passing the first checkpoint. Now, Zhou Hong had directly chosen to use the exclusive item he had obtained from the second round.
However, Guan Zhihong hesitated. Because the exclusive items they obtained were different. In terms of the number of uses, it was also different. Guan Zhihong only had one exclusive item left, and this exclusive item could only be used once.
This made him hesitate to use it. Once he used this exclusive item here, he would no longer have any exclusive items to use. Under his hesitation, a blood-colored saber light that was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye flashed in front of Guan Zhihong. Before he could react, his entire body was already ravaged by the blood-colored saber light.
Plop.
Guan Zhihong’s body split in half from the middle. He died instantly!! Not only that, the moment he was struck by the blood-colored saber beam, all the blood in his body had been sucked dry, not a single drop left.
This scene happened too quickly. Even though Xiao Shi had been paying attention to their situation, he could not stop them in time.. He could only watch as Guan Zhihong was killed with a single slash!
