Chapter 181: Corpse-filled War

They sought their fortune amidst the danger. If they were able to survive after five years, the rewards they could obtain would be sufficient for him to live in riches.

However, would they still have their lives at the end of it?

“Hu Chi!”

Just as the crowd was about the leave, a resplendent spiritual light suddenly erupted from within the Spirit Mine. The Spiritual Energy turned even more abundant inside the Spirit Mine in an instant.

“This is the Medial Grade Spirit Stone raw ore! Run!” Although they had uncovered the Medial Grade Spirit Stone, the expressions of the miners were filled with horror. They dropped whatever they had in their hands and rushed over in the direction of Xiao Chen and the others.

“Ga Ga!”

A miner was slightly slow and he was grabbed by a withered hand. With a casual pull, he was wrenched into two halves. The withered hand had gorged out the miner’s bleeding heart.

When the crowd dispersed, Xiao Chen finally saw the owner of this strange hand. It was a rotten corpse that emitted a black Qi from its entire body. It placed the heart into its mouth and it chewed continuously, giving off ‘zizi’ sounds.

The group of miners were hiding behind Xiao Chen and his group. Although there was panic on their faces, they were already used to this. They did not seem too uncomfortable when they saw this rotten corpse.

Ye Wen revealed an extremely grave expression. He stared at the raw ore that gave off a spiritual light behind the corpse. “The two of you stay back. In the future, if the two of you encounter a monster of this grade, you just have to disperse the crowd.”

“Hu Hu!” Ye Wen drew the small saber out of his scabbard and spun it in his hand continuously. It created an intense air current within the mines.

The corpse felt a dangerous aura and roared in a strange manner. It turned into a black phantom and launched itself at Ye Wen. Its sharp nails had a cold glint as it tried to claw Ye Wen’s face.

“Scram!” Ye Wen shouted loudly. The saber that spun in his right hand struck the corpse continuously. The intense air current pushed the corpse far away. A black fluid that stank of rotting flesh dripped out from its body as it flew back in the air.

The body had already been dead for an unknown amount of time; it was not able to feel pain or anything else. After it was knocked back, it roared out. A disgusting fluid flowed out from the corner of its mouth and it launched itself at Ye Wen again.

As Ye Wen fought the corpse, they slowly drifted to the left, this caused the fight to change locations. After a while, they had distanced themselves from the crowd.

At this moment, Ye Wen’s aura exploded out intensely without holding anything back. Streams of resplendent saber Qi struck the corpse.

Black fluid spurted out of its body. Just as the black fluid was about to land on Ye Wen’s body, an Essence s.h.i.+eld immediately appeared to block the black fluid.

“Zi La! Zi La!” The black fluid actually continuously corroded the Essence. Ye Wen shouted and the Essence s.h.i.+eld trembled. The black fluid was immediately knocked flying.

“Dang Dang!”

One man and one corpse, their battle became faster and faster. The ordinary people could no longer see their figures; they could only hear metallic clangs resonate in the air.

A light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he did his best to see the situation. The claws of the corpse were actually as hard as Profound Iron; it was able to resist Ye Wen’s saber lights.

“Hu!” There was a cold breeze and the small saber in Ye Wen’s hands vanished. Xiao Chen was astonished, this was one of Qingyun Peak’s Secret Techniques—Clear Wind Chop!

“Shua!” When the small saber reappeared, one of the corpse’s arms was chopped off. After it lost an arm, its combat prowess decreased significantly.

Just when Xiao Chen thought there was nothing left to fear, the corpse suddenly spat out a black pearl. Ye Wen’s complexion changed, “It actually managed to cultivate an inner core, good thing I discovered it early. Otherwise, if it had developed spiritual intelligence, it would be problematic.

The small saber was pulled backward and eighteen copies appeared in the air. Ye Wen’s figure was everywhere within an instant. When the eighteen images merged back together, the bright lights of the saber became reserved.

It carried a huge force as it chopped that black pearl into half with a ‘shua’ sound. Ye Wen’s hands moved continuously, the small saber started to spin intensely and created a powerful cyclone.

“Go!”

The small saber left his hand and the cyclone instantly enveloped the corpse as it moved forward. The saber moved very fast within the cyclone as streams of black fluid spurted out but were dispersed by the cyclone.

Under Ye Wen’s control, the cyclone moved forward very slowly. After a while, it stopped and a small saber embedded itself into the ground with a ‘huang dang’ sound.

The corpse landed heavily on the ground with a loud bang before it bounced a few times. Its skin was no longer completely intact; it was pretty much left with only its skeleton.

“Hu!” Just as everyone thought the situation was resolved and let out a breath of relief, the corpse leaped back up onto its feet. It moved as fast as lightning as it rushed at Mu Xinya who was beside Xiao Chen.

As the situation had occurred suddenly, Mu Xinya was caught off guard and could not react in time. Her complexion changed greatly.
