Chapter 816 - 816 Old Dried Corpse
816 Old Dried Corpse
“General Feng, why don’t you let me take the fifth spot?” Li Xiang suddenly recommended himself.
Feng Qinglin looked at Li Xiang with a smile. He had a clear understanding of Li Xiang’s combat strength when he was facing Hei Feng. Even though he only revealed his physical body and talent magical powers, it was enough to prove that he was certainly a top-tier powerhouse.
He couldn’t even tell how high Li Xiang’s real cultivation and strength were. He could only describe it as unfathomable.
He even suspected that this mysterious Li Xiang might not be in the mythical realm, but a terrifying existence in the divine realm.
After all, a person who dared to travel an endless distance without sufficient strength might die in a foreign land one day.
Now that Li Xiang had taken the initiative to ask for a battle, it was naturally something he could not ask for more.
“It’s the honor of the General Valley that Fellow Li is willing to help. How can I not agree? With Fellow Li’s help, we can at least guarantee to win one round of the general battle!” Feng Qinglin agreed with a smile. After Li Xiang said that he wanted to participate in the general battle, his tense mind relaxed a little and he felt at ease.
This was brought about by the powerful strength that Li Xiang had shown.
While the humans were choosing their generals, the Undeads were also making their choices quickly.
Even though the High Priest was in the bronze coffin, it still knew everything that was happening outside.
“You, you, you… The few of you, go and fight. If you don’t win, you’ll die!”
A mysterious force was released from the bronze coffin. With a few flashes of black light, five blood-red lights fell from the Generals’ Battle Stage and enveloped the five Undead spirits.
Upon closer inspection, one of them was a tall mummy with a white ribbon, one was a red-dried corpse, and one was a huge white-boned fierce beast with ferocious bone spikes growing on its body. It looked very terrifying. There was also a dried corpse wearing a long robe and holding a magic staff. Perhaps it could no longer be considered a dried corpse, but a lich. The last one was General Skeleton with the flag on its back.
The moment the five powerhouses were enveloped by the divine light, they were pulled by a force and they appeared on the Generals’ Battle Stage. This process seemed to be involuntary. They were directly drawn up by the power of the Generals’ Battle Stage and a mark was left on their bodies respectively.
This was the mark of a battle general on the Generals’ Battle Stage. Having this mark represented the qualification to participate in the general battle.
“Let’s go up too!”
After all the candidates had arrived, five beams of divine light fell from the Generals’ Battle Stage, enveloping Li Xiang and the other four. With a flash of light, they appeared on the stage.
Standing inside the Generals’ Battle Stage, one would realize that the space was extremely large. At a glance, it could completely accommodate anyone to fight without worrying about not having enough space.
The Undead spirits stood opposite, while Li Xiang and the others stood on the other side, facing each other. The arena was in the middle, and they looked at each other from a distance.
Boom!
On the Undead spirit’s side, the red-dried corpse took a step forward. With a flash, it appeared in the center of the Generals’ Battle Stage.
It was holding a red chain in its hand and letting the chain drag on the ground, causing a series of ear-piercing friction sounds.
Standing on the Generals’ Battle Stage, the dried corpse looked coldly at Li Xiang and the others. It was obvious that it was waiting for someone to accept the challenge.
“It’s just a dried corpse. I’ll kill you!”
Guan Xiong’s broad blade was held horizontally. His feet moved and his figure instantly rushed toward the Generals’ Battle Stage. Along with the momentum, the green dragon crescent blade in his hand slashed at the red-dried corpse without any hesitation.
This strike was extremely overbearing and as fast as lightning. It was one of the moves in the “Spring and Autumn Blade Technique”- Spring and Autumn Battle Rises!
Spring and autumn meant time. It was like water, fast to the extreme.
This blade was so fast that it was impossible to catch its trajectory. The moment the blade was slashed out, it was already in front of the dried corpse.
It was said that Martial Saint Guan Yu’s scariest move was the first three strikes. Usually, the enemy would be beheaded in the first strike. It was not that they did not want to block it, but that the speed of the strike was too fast, and they could not react in time.
This dried red corpse had been selected by the High Priest to enter the Generals’ Battle Stage, so it was naturally not an ordinary dead spirit.
It was a top-grade dried corpse, and its stage name was “old mummies.” No, it was a joke. This was a Scarlet Flame Corpse. It was buried deep in the desert and was refined by the true fire of the sun between heaven and earth. It evaporated all the water in its body, and the flame origin was born in its body the moment it became a dried corpse. The Scarlet Flame talent was awakened and it contained the unique Scarlet Flame Corpse Fire. It was so powerful that it could burn everything.
It was not afraid of the yang power, and the flames in its body made it immune to most of the positive energy magical powers. Ordinary exorcism techniques had no effect on it. Furthermore, it could control the scarlet flame to temper its body. Its physical body was extremely strong, not any weaker than a transcendent body refiner.
Most importantly, this type of zombie did not have the weakness of being stiff and slow like normal zombies. Instead, its reaction and speed were incredibly fast, and its strength was truly in the mythical realm.
At this moment, there seemed to be a red flame flickering in its eyes.
With a wave of its arm, the red iron chains coiled and danced like spiritual snakes, forming a red shield wall in front of it. It covered its entire body without revealing any flaws.
Dang!
The green dragon crescent blade struck the shield wall made of iron chains. The scarlet flame rose and the shield wall trembled as if it would collapse at any time. However, the power it contained was not inferior to the green dragon crescent blade. A layer of scarlet flame followed the blade and quickly swept toward Guan Xiong. However, the blade intent contained in the blade also burst out at the first moment, forcibly obliterating the scarlet flame and turning it into nothingness.
Magical powers were formed from the laws of heaven and earth, while the martial will was the manifestation of one’s divine soul and will through combat skills.
The two powers belonged to the same level. The magical powers were more mystical, while the Martial Arts True Intent was more overbearing.
Crash!
The iron chain in the Scarlet Flame Corpse’s hand moved like an arm and a finger. After it blocked Guan Xiong’s first strike, the shield wall formed by the iron chain instantly disintegrated and wrapped around the green dragon crescent blade like a spiritual snake. Its arm shook and pulled, trying to snatch the green dragon crescent blade from Guan Xiong’s hands.
Guan Xiong was also a veteran of hundreds of battles, and he had a wealth of fighting experience.
He was still calm facing such a sudden change. After feeling the pulling force, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, used the force, and followed the pulling force, he stabbed the green dragon crescent blade toward the heart of the Scarlet Flame Corpse.
This strike came out of nowhere, changing unpredictably and moving extremely fast. It was like a flash of lightning, leaving no time for the opponent to react. The blade had already pierced through its body, directly hitting its heart. At the moment of the hit, a sharp blade intent instantly burst out and wreaked havoc in the Scarlet Flame Corpse.
The blade intent was sharp and overbearing, enough to completely mince its internal organs and kill it.
“Good job!”
“That’s great! General Guan is indeed powerful. He hit his target with one strike. Even a dried corpse will die under the blade intent!”
