C48 (1/2)

In front of them, a broken infant's corpse was crying mournfully towards them. The ear-piercing wail was like a sharp spike that pierced everyone's brain.

Hong Ling took out a hundred refined steel sword and protected Lian Chengyue behind him. His soul power was slowly released from his body, enveloping Lian Chengyue and him, and cutting off the cries of the Nascent Corpses.

Beside them, Li Tan took out a jade pendant and pinched it lightly. A barrier of white light surrounded him and protected him from the effects of the Nascent Corpse.

Lu You and the other two cultivators looked at each other, as if they had reached an agreement in an instant, and the three of them immediately took action to deal with the illusory figure in the air, luring it away.

”The three of us will deal with this evil ghost, and the rest of the ten will be dealt with by you!” A Qi Refinement into Spirit cultivator shouted, ”If anyone dares to cheat, don't blame us for settling the score!”

Wuwuwu, the 10 Ghost Souls wailed miserably, a few cultivators who were unable to create the Authentic Qi barrier in time were struck by the sonic wave and immediately bled from their seven orifices, rolling on the ground.

No one dared to act rashly, these ghost babies were simply too terrifying. Just their cries were enough to heavily injure some late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators.

The few cultivators who were wailing and struggling on the ground continuously scratched their faces. Very soon, their faces were badly mutilated.

Their bodies and faces were so festering that one couldn't even see their human form. Their sharp nails were covered in a dark green light, and their skin and flesh were still hanging on their bones, but they were covered in a black liquid.

Lian Chengyue covered her mouth as her body slightly trembled. As the young miss of the Lian Cheng Family, she had never seen such a disgusting thing.

The few cultivators who were struggling finally stopped breathing. Their bodies had been scratched into a bloody mess, as if they had been scratched by countless blunt weapons.

They all jumped up from the coffin and pounced on top of a corpse, opening their mouths wide to bite the nape of the corpse, tearing apart the flesh and blood that still had some lingering warmth.

A fishy stench of blood filled the air. The stomachs of everyone present were aching, and quite a few of them even bent down to vomit.

”How can you just stand there and watch? Once these babies eat enough flesh and blood, all of you will die here!” Lu You's sword struck the evil ghost in the air and met up with the other two Qi Refinement into Spirit's cultivators, warily looking at the evil ghost in front of them.

”We can't allow these ghosts to devour their corpses. We have to kill them, or else, as senior Lu You said, we'll all die here!” A somewhat calm looking cultivator with perfect Essence Refinement into Qi said slowly.

They did not know anything about these Ghost Souls, so they did not dare to let them devour them like this. The presence of these Ghost Souls was much stronger than when they had broken out of the coffin just now, and if this were to continue, only the heavens knew how far they would be able to grow.

I suggest that we form groups of ten and lure these ghost infants away. Even if we cannot kill them, we must at least delay them. The opening of the secret realm will take a long time.

”Alright, just as you said, we'll look for our teammates ourselves. Be careful!”

”Ah Yue, Li Tan, the two of you follow me. We will lure one of the Ghost Infant over first, and try our best not to disturb its brethren!” Hong Ling casually swiped the sword on his palm, containing the scent of the Authentic Qi's blood and gore, and swung it around in the air.

A ghost who was chewing on a corpse raised his head, and stared straight at Hong Ling's bleeding palm. He laughed sinisterly, and leaped up, like a bolt of lightning, towards the young man.

The sword in Hong Ling's hand flipped, and with a casual wave, he sent the ghost soul flying, he retreated a few steps with a thump, the palm holding the sword released a bit of pain, the hand holding the sword trembled, the young man lowered his head, and saw that his palm had already split open, oozing out a bit of blood.

This thing had such a strong power and was extremely fast. Hong Ling focused his gaze and stared at the Spirit Demon being lying on the ground on all fours like a hungry wolf. For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.

He had thought that the sword strike he had executed just now was no less than the attack he had used at the perfection-stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, but he had not expected that the infant ghost was only pushed back, with not a single wound.

The youth did not believe him. With a thought, a sword intent was formed from his sword intent. With a tap of his foot, a human figure rushed out. The hundred refined steel sword ruthlessly slashed down on the ghost baby.

Ga, the Ghost Infant screamed miserably, and its lips instantly split open, extending to its ears, as though it had been cut open by a sharp blade, revealing its black sharp teeth. It stared at the sword that Hong Ling cut off, and with a leap, its two front claws directly grabbed towards the gloomy blade.
