"Where did this arrogant girl come from? Our Violetsea Cave's opponent is Feng Feiyun, you better scram to the side!"
Zi Kui came out from the crowd with an angry expression. He pointed with his finger and a corpse flame descended from the sky like a rain of fire.
Corpse controllers didn't only train corpses. An ancient lineage like the Violetsea Cave had many manuals to cultivate, such as controlling corpse flames and poison. There were also a few that could allow one to fuse with a battle corpse.
Zi Kui's corpse flame was refined from the corpse palaces of the nine second-transformation Corpse Evils. This flame was enough to boil the water in a pond.
"Zi Kui is indeed one of the leaders of the Earthrank, he has cultivated his corpse flame to this level." Luo Hong was aghast. He felt the gap between him and Zi Kui growing larger.
Although he was also an Earthrank disciple, his cultivation was more than three times weaker than Zi Kui's.
"I'll burn you first, then I'll take care of Feng Feiyun."
Zi Kui acted as if he couldn't see that Su Xue was a delicate beauty as he mercilessly destroyed a flower.
The corpse flame turned into a fiery cloud that evaporated the thick layer of snow in the blink of an eye. The thousand-year-old trees were ignited like red lanterns.
Even a first-level Heaven's Mandate would be incinerated, so Su Xue naturally couldn't stop it.
"Whoosh!"
Feiyun flew out of the shrine and stood in front of Su Xue. He pointed forward and channeled all of the water energy in the peak to form an ice shield dozens of meters thick to stop the corpsefire for a moment.
He grabbed her by her black dress and dragged her back into the shrine.
This shrine had a mark left behind by the wise sages. Even a half-step Giant Commander wouldn't be able to break through. It had become a natural bunker, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"You want to die?
Every single one of the people outside is a peerless figure of the present age. Even the cultivators of the older generation have to retreat when they see them, yet you still dare to rush out and fight them one on one? "Feng Feiyun reprimanded.
Su Xue swung her sword and almost cut off Feng Feiyun's hand. She escaped from Feng Feiyun's grasp and pointed her sword at Feng Feiyun's throat: "I'm warning you, don't come within three steps of me, let alone touch me."
Feng Feiyun felt like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. "Why are you so afraid of people coming within three steps of you? Do you have body odor?"
"You're courting death!"
She gritted her teeth and rode her sword forward. The sword ray pierced through Feng Feiyun's collar and was only a hair's breadth away from his neck.
It was as if they didn't know that there was a great enemy outside. The two of them began to fight again. Su Xue's sword was fast and ruthless. If Feng Feiyun didn't have his Swift Samsara, she would have left more than ten bloody holes on his body.
"Feng Feiyun finally showed himself!"
Zi Kui's first attack missed, so he unleashed a second one. The corpse flame in his palm condensed into a small crimson figure. It turned into a blinding ray and flew into the shrine.
This crimson figure was condensed from a corpse flame with a corpse soul inside, so it was even more powerful than the previous attack.
However, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean after entering the shrine without making the slightest sound.
Zi Kui's thick brows furrowed. How could this be? Was Feng Feiyun so powerful that he could directly devour the corpse flame?
Although Zi Kui's limbs were well-developed, his mind wasn't simple. He was a notorious character. Several cultivators from the previous generation died in his hands and were all refined into corpse slaves.
Among the millions of disciples in the Violetsea Cave, he was one of the top characters.
Luo Hong reminded him: "Feng Feiyun has a spirit treasure. Maybe he used it to suppress the corpse flame."
"I see, no wonder why Feng Feiyun could destroy the ice and blood corpses."
Zi Kui suddenly understood and coldly uttered: "So what if he has a spirit treasure? Feng Feiyun hasn't reached Heaven's Mandate yet, so he can't exert even a thousandth of its power. There's nothing to fear."
Zi Kui took out a dust-covered clay jar, which was covered in yellow runes. This clay jar was made very crudely, and one could see the cracks on its surface.
He tore off the runes and a grey corpse light rushed out. The corpses nearby trembled and quickly retreated. Only a few powerful battle corpses remained unmoving.
"Hiss!" A strange sound came from the clay jar, making people's hair stand on end.
A bloody human hand stretched out of the jar. Streaks of black lightning were swimming on the flesh.
"Zi Kui is going to release that thing!" In the distance, on top of the huge grave, a female corpse controller's pupils were completely dilated.
Although Zi Kui's fame in the Northern Frontier Prefecture wasn't as great as Chu Jibei's, he was still a fierce person. All corpse controllers were wary of him.
"Whoosh!"
A black shadow flew out of the earthen jar. It had three pairs of eyes, and when it looked back, a cultivator in the distance was scared out of his wits. He directly fell from the clouds, and his body was smashed to pieces.
This was a human corpse Zi Kui dug out from the back of the Yin Yang Mountain. However, there were many differences between this corpse and a human, so it was likely to be an Abnormality.
Zi Kui carried this corpse back to the Violetsea Cave and asked a master to refine it into a battle corpse. However, this corpse was different from the others. It was extremely ferocious and even wanted to eat other corpses.
It couldn't be controlled and could only be sealed inside the jar.
Zi Kui released it in order to use it against Feng Feiyun.
"Keke!"
This six-eyed corpse issued an eerie cackle and actually attacked Zi Kui. Its claw left a bloody mark on Zi Kui's shoulder, causing black blood to flow out.
"Animal!" Zi Kui angrily raised the jar in his hand. There were Yin and Yang runes rotating inside.
The six-eyed corpse was terrified of the earthen jar and quickly retreated back into the shrine. In just a moment, corpse energy filled the entire shrine. The peaceful area of Buddhism turned into a place filled with corpse energy.
"It's over, this corpse is extremely ferocious and will attack any living person it sees. It wants to eat all corpses alive. I'm afraid Feng Feiyun will be eaten until not even his bones are left."
Ji Feng, dressed in a white daoist robe and holding a bronze horsetail whisk, stood next to the sacred lake and looked up at the peak. He really didn't want Feng Feiyun to die to someone else.
However, he knew how powerful the Violetsea Cave was, so he didn't act rashly.
He wasn't the only one. There were many cultivators watching the battle at the peak, but no one dared to take a step inside. The Violetsea Cave was too powerful, and the young corpse controllers were extremely frightening as well. No one dared to offend them.
This was a battle of a cornered beast. Feng Feiyun alone couldn't escape the encirclement of several experts from the Violetsea Cave. Death was only a matter of time.
Many disciples from the pagoda were nearby, including the third prince of Dashi and the eldest son of the Tiger Marquis, who were friends with Feng Feiyun. However, they only dared to watch from afar and didn't dare to lend a helping hand.
After a while, the shrine became quiet once more. Only the howling of the wind could be heard.
An unextinguished Buddhist lamp shone through the gap of the door.
"Could it be that the demon's son was eaten by the Six-Eyed Corpse Evil?"
A female corpse controller from the Yinvoid Cave blinked her eyes. She wanted to see the situation inside the shrine.
However, there were ancient seals on the walls of the ancient temple that reflected all gazes and divine senses, making it impossible to pry into them.
"If the demon's son was eaten by the Six-Eyed Corpse Evil, then it should have come out … Hmm, interesting, interesting …" Yao Ji's pretty eyes carried a hint of wisdom as her sexy lips slightly curled up.
The female controller asked: "Could it be that the demon's son and the Six-Eyed Corpse Evil both died?"
"Only you can think of that!" Yao Ji smiled and slightly shook her head.
The current situation was very strange. Not only were the cultivators in the distance confused, even Zi Kui himself began to frown. How could this happen?
"I really want to see what mysteries are hidden inside this shrine."
Zi Kui was bold and daring. With one step, he arrived at the entrance of the shrine. However, the moment he entered, he immediately retreated even faster than before as if he had seen a ghost.
As he retreated, the six-eyed corpse pounced forward and directly pushed him to the ground. It opened its bloody maw and bit off a piece of flesh from his neck, causing blood to gush out like a fountain.
However, Zi Kui was indeed worthy of being one of the leaders of the Earthrank disciples. His cultivation was quite good, so he only needed to punch to send the Six-Eyed Corpse Evil flying.
"Bastard! Animal!"
Zi Kui took out his jar and recalled the Six-Eyed Corpse Evil back into it. The bite wound on his neck had grown black corpse hair. The corpse poison had invaded his body.
Fortunately, he had been poisoned since he was young and was able to force the poison out of his body in a short amount of time. The black corpse hair also scattered with the wind.
"Feng Feiyun, I will personally capture you this time. Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeves!" Zi Kui was naturally not an idiot. He knew that he had been tricked by Feng Feiyun this time, so he became even angrier.
Zi Kui wanted to enter the shrine again but was stopped by Chu Jibei: "Feng Feiyun is famous for his cunning, why risk it alone? Three first-level Heaven's Mandate corpses are more than enough to deal with him."
Zi Kui thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so three purple talismans flew out of his sleeve and landed on the heads of the three old corpses. The three old corpses, who were originally lifeless, suddenly opened their eyes, and their eyeballs seemed to have come alive.
Zi Kui was still worried so he shot out ten more talismans and placed them on the foreheads of the ten armored corpses.
All thirteen corpses rushed into the shrine at the same time with a towering murderous aura. This was the momentum of a yin corpse attacking a city.
