604 Frozen (2/2)

Swoosh! The purple light became a faint purple shadow, instantly flying towards the Corpse Puppet on the ground.

Roar! Although the Corpse Puppet did not have sentience, it could instinctively perceive its own life and death. The fatal sense of danger made the Corpse Puppet go completely wild. Its blood red eyes shot out two astonishing beams of crimson light. Then, the black crystal bead on top of its head suddenly emitted a bizarre wail. Next, black light permeated the space. It was like a tide, pervading every inch of the palace hall instantly.

A terrifying chill swept out. Everything in the surrounding area was instantly frozen over with a layer of black ice crystals. Even the eight huge stone pillars were turned to ice crystals. Then, crack lines appeared on them little by little until they collapsed. They fell to the ground, scattering crystal light.

Mo Wen's figure shook. Then, as though time had stood still, he was frozen in midair. A terrifying chill swept into his body. It frenziedly attacked his flesh and organs. The surface of his body was covered in a layer of black crystals in an instant.

Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, who had turned around and were preparing to chase Mo Wen, stopped at the same time. Their bodies were frozen in midair too and a layer of black crystals also formed on the surface of their bodies.

On the ground, crack lines had appeared due to the assault of the chill. Even the floorboards that were cast from special materials actually could not withstand such a chill.

Underneath the black crystals, Mo Wen laughed to himself bitterly. In an instant, before he could even defend himself, he had been frozen until he was severely injured. Although he had not died, many organs in his body had suffered problems. His entire being was frozen stiff, unable to move an inch.

At the last moment, the Corpse Puppet had actually grasped the ability to activate the power of the Dark Soul Pearl. The Dark Soul Pearl was absolutely frightening. Although the Corpse Puppet would not necessarily be able to release all the power of the Dark Soul Pearl, even a portion of its power would be enough to completely annihilate an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Also, it was a large area attack. If those ancient martial art practitioners had not retreated from the palace hall, then aside from the few later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners, the rest would almost all have died.

Even Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu were similarly frozen by the chill. However, in their situation, they were clearly better off than the other three. After all, their cultivation was far superior to that of the other three.

Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu just shook their bodies and the black crystals on their bodies shattered one by one, falling to the ground. However, they had ashen complexions and stiff expressions. Clearly, they too were affected by the chill.

Mo Wen was also not slow. Formless flames circulated inside his body. The Spiritless Clean Fire actively protected its master. Although the chill of the black crystals was astonishing, the Spiritless Clean Fire caused them to melt immediately.

However, Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun were not so fortunate. The two of them were trapped in black crystals, unable to move for quite a while. Their bodies could not continue to float in midair and they plunged to the ground.

The golden chain net that trapped the Corpse Puppet was the closest to the center of the black light. It almost instantly turned completely black. Then, crack lines began to form on it one by one.

However, the purple blade that the Purple Bottle Gourd released was not affected at all by the black light, continuing to slash down as usual.

Ptui! A faint dull thud sounded. In the silent palace hall, the sound was exceptionally clear.

A look of delight flashed in Grandmother Hui Ling's eyes. The purple blade had successfully slashed onto the body of the Corpse Puppet.

Roar! A roar that shook heaven and earth sounded furiously. The palace hall shook. With the Corpse Puppet as the center, all the surrounding black crystals shattered.

The golden chain net that had trapped the Corpse Puppet was not able to withstand it anymore and simply turned into dust.

The Corpse Puppet took two steps forward. Jets of black blood squirted out of its figure. The ground was like a creek as blood flowed everywhere.

There was clearly something wrong with one side of the Corpse Puppet's body. It slowly seemed to slant and then separated from the rest of the creature, falling to the ground with a thud.

Mo Wen drew in a cold breath. The Corpse Puppet had actually had half of its body sliced off by the purple light in just one slash. From top to bottom, half of the Corpse Puppet was missing. Even half of its head was slashed off. However, the other half remained standing on the ground. One leg supported it on the ground as its innards spilled out from one side. It was creepy.

Roar! The Corpse Puppet let out a roar of an injured wild beast, then slowly lifted one hand. A little purple bell was tied to its hand. It was the Cries of Hades Bell that all the ancient martial art practitioners had dreamt of getting their hands on.

A crimson light flashed from the hand of the Corpse Puppet. It became brighter and brighter, frantically surging into the Cries of Hades Bell.

”Not good!” Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu both shouted loudly. Their expressions changed drastically, instantly turning pale. The Corpse Puppet was actually attempting to activate the Cries of Hades Bell! The Cries of Hades Bell was an authentic profound level weapon. One did not need to think to know how powerful it was. With the Corpse Puppet's ability, once it activated it, it would practically be a disaster.

No one had anticipated that the Corpse Puppet, which had no sentience, would actually attempt to activate the Cries of Hades Bell.

Mo Wen's expression also suddenly changed. Without any thought, two masses of golden light shone out from his eyes. The next moment, his soul attack surged at full force towards the Corpse Puppet.
