Chapter 114: Violetgraves Mausoleum (1/2)

Grudge corpses were intelligent!

That was the one thing the grandmaster had emphasized before turning into a zombie himself.

The air was thick with unbearable tension. Utmost yin energy weighed down heavily on Lu Yun and Qing Han, making it difficult to breathe. The grudge corpse’s empty gaze swept over them every once in a while, but its attention was always fleeting, as if it hadn’t noticed them.

“What do we do now?” Qing Han transmitted carefully.

“Don’t alarm it. Let’s go.” Lu Yun kept his eyes fixed on the grudge corpse as he retreated gingerly. I still don’t know how to deal with it.

Releasing the nine bloodcorpses was out of the question. If the body in this tomb had already become a grudge corpse, then the body in the central, most powerful tomb would also be the same monster, or something even more terrifying.

If he let the bloodcorpses out, he risked attracting all five of the zombies in the tombs. They’d be in real trouble then.

Retreat was the course for now, until they could come up with a solution. He knew how to destroy a Skandha Extinction Tomb, but not these zombie variants. Although the creature’s existence wasn’t a surprise, he’d thought they wouldn’t run into one until they entered the central tomb.

And yet, here it was.

“It’s following us!” Qing Han suddenly transmitted quietly.

“What?” Lu Yun started. In his eyes, the grudge corpse was still sitting on the netherwood coffin, settling its empty gaze on the two of them without doing anything.

Whoosh.

A scroll expanded from Qing Han’s hands, allowing the emergence of a giant black dragon.

Bam!!

The dragon collided with something with a great bang.

Qing Han quickly gathered Lu Yun in his arms and flew in another direction, protecting the two of them with a soft white hue. Meanwhile, an epic battle had broken out between the black dragon and something invisible. Dragon howls and raspy growls reverberated through the darkness.

“The black dragon is a peerless immortal, but the grudge corpse manages to rival it! No, it’s winning!” Color drained from Qing Han’s face.

Like the rimesnake king, the black dragon had lost its internal energy. Nevertheless, that hadn’t weakened its close combat abilities, and it was still physically powerful. Though it was a scaled wyrm, it knew many draconic fighting styles.

Yet the thing in the dark was not only matching the dragon’s might, but gaining the upper hand.

“Let’s go!” Taking advantage of the space created by the dragonguard, Lu Yun activated a dozen short-range teleportation talismans in quick succession to avoid the terrible shockwaves. He then pressed a formation disk into the ground.

Hum.

A barrier of five elements enveloped them.

Bam!

Crack crack crack!

Collision forces from the battle between the peerless immortals slammed into the Feinie-crafted formation disk, fracturing it with a crack. Tapping into his reserve of energy, Lu Yun quickly pressed a dozen more formation disks on the ground and barely blocked the aftershocks.

How did the grandmaster escape the grudge corpse?! His brain went into overdrive as he analyzed the situation. He rapidly flipped through the sect records in his memories, scanning everything related to Skandha Extinction Tombs and grudge corpses.
