Chapter 906

A red-robed man holding a bone staff flew into the air . He was emaciated, without the slightest bit of flesh on his face . He looked like a skeleton, as if all his blood had been sucked dry .

The bone staff had an egg-sized skull at the top . It looked like a human skull, but a human skull couldn’t be that small .

He immediately released his aura, and black qi surged around his body . His aura contained a sensation of rot . When that was added to his appearance, he looked like a zombie that had just crawled out of its coffin .

The black qi behind him gradually formed nine images . Each one of them floated in the sky . s.p.a.ce suddenly shook, and nine desiccated corpses appeared behind him . Their skin was also black, and they released an aura of decay .

The images and corpses merged together . An evil and terrifying aura instantly erupted, causing the sky to shake .

“Heavens, those corpses are alive!” someone cried in shock . Those nine corpses had begun to move upon merging with that black qi .

“Girl, why don’t you surrender? We’re both soul cultivators, so your soul attacks are ineffective against me . I’d advise you to just obediently give up,” he said coldly . His voice sounded like the grating of a toenail against a pot .

He was a rank three Celestial and a powerful soul cultivator at that . The nine corpses he had summoned had been Foundation Forging experts when they were alive, and they had been refined into corrupt corpses by him . Although they didn’t have a Foundation Forging expert’s battle power now, the hardness of their bodies and their physical power were shockingly high . Even ordinary Treasure items couldn’t injure them .

And he had nine such powerful corpses . Within the same realm, he had never encountered someone who was his match . So he was viewed very importantly by Xue You, which was why he had been chosen to fight .

“Go ahead and attack . ” Meng Qi shook her head .

“Then I won’t be courteous . ”

The Corrupt expert formed hand seals, and the nine corrupt corpses charged at Meng Qi, punching at her .

What startled everyone was that their movements weren’t stiff at all . They moved as if they were alive .

These corpses were priceless treasures to that expert, and they had come from the Righteous and Corrupt battles . They were the fallen Righteous experts .

The Righteous experts gathered the Corrupt experts’ souls and corpses and used them as tools in trials for their disciples . As for the Corrupt path, they used the Righteous experts’ corpses as tools for battle .

Before entering the Immemorial Path, his sect’s Elders had gifted him nine Foundation Forging experts, letting him refine them into corrupt corpses once he entered Sea Expansion .

Without strong enough Spiritual Strength, he wouldn’t be able to control such powerful corrupt corpses . But with them, he could essentially be counted as an apex figure amongst the Corrupt path’s rank three Celestials .

BOOM!

The nine corpses’ punches smashed into a tower . That tower was thirty meters tall, with a total of nine levels . Meng Qi was standing on the ninth level, indifferently looking at him .

“A protective Treasure item? Hmph, let me see just how long you can keep that up!” sneered the Corrupt expert . He controlled his nine corpses to attack the tower . Each time their fists smashed into the tower, ripples would spread on the tower . Their attacks were unable to reach Meng Qi .

“This is the Soul Suppressing Tower, a middle grade Treasure item . Just what can you do to me?” said Meng Qi lightly . But her expression was a bit unnatural, as if she wasn’t as indifferent as she appeared .

In truth, Meng Qi really was a bit uneasy . She was different than Long Chen . For Long Chen, nonsense lies could pour out of his mouth as soon as he opened it . In fact, his lies were sometimes even more believable than the truth .

But Meng Qi was an obedient child . She had never tricked anyone . However, in order to stall for time, she lied . This Soul Suppressing Tower was actually a high grade Treasure item . That lie made her appear unnatural .

But that unnatural appearance made Xue You and the others think that she wasn’t confident and was trying to cover it up . Furthermore, low grade Treasure items were normally unable to materialize their larger true forms, while middle grade Treasure items normally did materialize true bodies around thirty meters long . This size made them believe that it was a middle grade Treasure item .

However, the truth was that this Soul Suppressing Tower was extremely powerful, and through the item-nouris.h.i.+ng technique from the Eastern Wasteland Bell, her connection to it was extremely strong . If she didn’t release its true power, it was very difficult for outsiders to see through its grade .

“Hmph, watch me smash your broken tower . It’s just a middle grade Treasure item . My corrupt corpses can pulverize it with their bare hands,” sneered the Corrupt expert . He had absolute confidence in his corpses .

The corpses crazily attacked without any rhythm . They were like madmen foolishly beating a drum, and it was extremely unpleasant to listen to .

But the concealed Righteous experts didn’t dare make a sound due to Ji Changkong’s orders .

Xiao Fei, s.h.i.+ Cang, and the other aboriginals were watching nervously . Meng Qi might have told s.h.i.+ Cang that she was just stalling for time until reinforcements arrived, but he still wasn’t at ease . Hearing the tone from the Corrupt experts, he felt this battle to be extremely unfavorable for Meng Qi . The Corrupt expert was confident in breaking the tower .

The other Corrupt experts calmly watched . Soul cultivators were very rare, so they wanted to see their power . For those newly advanced rank three Celestials, they wanted to see what this fellow relied on to be viewed so importantly by Xue You .

One hour, two hours, three hours . . .
