From Lu Yin's point of view, Mister Guo was second only to Zhou Tang in this group of Star Alliance experts. Based on his star energy suppression, Lu Yin guessed that Mister Guo was a Third Tribulation Cultivator with a power level of over 700,000. The Corpse King, on the other hand, was only comparable to a powerhouse with a power level of 500,000. Even if it didn't know pain or fear death, it still wouldn't be able to challenge Mister Guo.
In the blink of an eye, the Corpse King's arms were broken by the ruler.
Lu Yin sighed in amazement as he looked at the ruler. As expected of Teacher Guo, even his weapon was so unique.
The Corpse King was at a disadvantage, but soon after, another Corpse King charged out and joined the battle. The two Corpse Kings worked together to fight Mister Guo, but the second Corpse King was even stronger than the first. More importantly, it could transform.
As the second Corpse King's eyes turned gray, its punch not only shattered the sky but also shattered Mister Guo's ferule.
Zhou Tang clenched his fist. "Mister Guo isn't good at fighting. Let him use a power vessel."
"Mister Guo, a power vessel!" Che Zhan shouted.
Mister Guo's face flushed red as his blood rushed to his head. He had clearly been injured, and the broken ruler meant that he didn't have a suitable weapon. Even his astral source wasn't enough to deal with the two Corpse Kings, so he was at a disadvantage.
Hondo and Che Zhan both stood up to help.
Mister Guo growled, "You're all going to die, and I'll take one of you with me. Let me leave with dignity. I won't embarrass the Myriad Daos Family, and I definitely won't embarrass the Lu family."
Hondo and Che Zhan stopped and gritted their teeth as they watched the battle.
Mister Guo was pushed back by a single palm strike from the Grey-eyed Corpse King, but it didn't just rely on its physical strength; it also had a strange innate gift that made it extremely difficult for Mister Guo to defend himself. Mister Guo suddenly waved his hand and flung out some black liquid.
Poison?
Lu Yin was stunned. Poison didn't match Mister Guo's temperament!
"Ink Burning Secret Technique," Che Zhan said with a solemn expression.
Lu Yin looked over. Ink Burning Secret Technique?
That's ink?
He suddenly thought of Wen Shengyi. When he'd searched his cosmic ring in the Sovereign Realm, he'd found quite a bit of ink. Was it related to a secret technique?
Mister Guo's ink seeped into the bodies of the two King Corpses. He became extremely serious and ancient. Vaguely, the ink seemed to be drawn by something and turned into words. Someone was writing in the void, using the two King Corpses as the tip of a pen.
"Life is like ink. Once it's burned, it's gone." Mister Guo was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. In front of him, the Grey-eyed Corpse King slammed a palm into his chest, knocking him back. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Across from him, the ink on the two Corpse Kings' bodies was burning, as if they had just finished writing.
Along with the burning, the bodies of the two Corpse Kings were also burning. Their incomparably powerful physical strength was forcibly reduced to nothing by the burning ink.
Lu Yin was shocked. Ink Burning Secret Technique?
The secret technique of the Wen Clan?
Or was it the secret technique of Yi Xian Academy?
Half kneeling on the ground, Mister Guo's face was pale as he gasped for breath. On his chest, a palm print was clearly visible, deep to the bone. He was severely injured.
Hongo hurriedly stepped forward to switch places with Mister Guo, but Mister Guo raised his hand to stop him. "I still have a power vessel."
"Alright, don't try to show off. Those monsters clearly don't want to lose too many people. They'll definitely send out experts next. There's no way they'll give you a chance to kill them all with a treasure," said Brother Hong.
Mister Guo coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Che Zhan walked over. "Let me do it, Hongo."
Old Mother Eastmountain stood up as well. "I can fight as well."
At that moment, a Corpse King suddenly charged over from the distance. It raised its scarlet vertical eye, instilling fear in the onlookers. It was still an Envoy-level Corpse King, but this one's aura was clearly stronger than the previous two.
Zhou Tang stood up. "I'll deal with it."
"You're already half dead. Save it," Mister Guo coughed.
"You're not much better off," Zhou Tang said indifferently, completely different from his previous decadence. "Since you're going to die anyway, why not die on the battlefield? Not for the Four Cardinal Scales, but for the Astral Tree Realm."
The Corpse King had already arrived, and Hongo and the others were just about to attack when a figure appeared in front of them. The figure raised a hand and struck out with a palm. The Corpse King raised its arm as well.
Bang!
A violent shockwave swept out in all directions, and Mister Guo and the others were all pushed underground. The shockwave erupted from the entrance of the underground and surged upwards, tearing through the void and causing the earth to tremble.
Everyone looked over in shock. It was Lu Yin who had blocked the Corpse King.
Although Lu Yin had blocked the Corpse King's attack, he had still been pushed back by a single palm strike. Although he could fight an Emissary head-on, there was still an even greater gap between them. Every single step was not something that an ordinary person could cross, and this Corpse King in front of him was clearly something that he could not cross with his own strength. The three meter tall Corpse King from before was even more impossible to cross.
"Since you're going to die anyway, why don't you all rest," Lu Yin said casually as he blocked the entrance.
Mister Guo and the others were moved. They were not afraid of death, but that did not mean they were willing to die. They had been forced to join the Star Alliance, but Lu Yin, a member of the White Dragon Clan and a member of the Humble Family, had dared to block their path. Even Zhou Tang admired his courage and determination.
There was no need to mention the others.
At this moment, Lu Yin was like a mountain in front of them. As long as the mountain did not collapse, they would all be safe.
Zhou Tang looked at Lu Yin's back. The more he looked at him, the more similar he seemed to be to the young master.
At the underground entrance, Lu Yin's palm was in pain. The clash of palms had injured him, and even with the Cloud Lattice Robe's protection, he still felt pain. That Corpse King wasn't just physically strong; it had either used an innate gift or a battle technique that was different from a Corpse King Transformation.
Across from Lu Yin, the Corpse King was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it paused in place, as if thinking about something.
All Corpse Kings had intelligence, but due to their fearless appearance, people often forgot about this fact. On the back of the battlefield, there was a word carved on countless places — — Intelligence. Not only did it remind cultivators to use their intelligence in battle, it also reminded them that their enemies also had intelligence and that they should not underestimate them.
Lu Yin did not underestimate these Corpse Kings; the way they developed their Redbacks was unpredictable.
After a while, the Corpse King suddenly raised its hand, putting Lu Yin on guard.
The Corpse King opened its palm, and a dark gold light flashed in front of Lu Yin's eyes. Then, the Corpse King's palm turned into something similar to metal, and the lines on its palm could be seen clearly.
Lu Yin's expression changed slightly. No wonder that palm had injured him; this was an innate gift. But why had the Corpse King told him about this?
With a whoosh, the King of Corpses attacked with both palms. The absolute power of the palms turned into a majestic pressure that swept over the crowd. Mister Guo and the others were shocked. Other than Zhou Tang, no one present could withstand such a powerful palm power.
Golden battle force revolved around Lu Yin's body, and he raised his hand as well. 350 Stacks — Empty Palm.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The continuous palm strikes caused many underground to cough up blood. Lu Yin, who was in the middle of it all, felt like the sky was collapsing. Fortunately, he had broken through to the Upper Intellect realm, so even if he was injured, he would recover quickly.
However, he was still being suppressed.
There was a thump, and because the Corpse King's strength was too strong, Lu Yin was unable to block it in time. The Corpse King's spear struck his chest first, and his chest shook as he coughed up blood. It was a tragic sight. Lu Yin gritted his teeth; he could not face it head-on. The Corpse King's body was tough, and it could not feel pain.
As he thought about it, he immediately used the Flow Channeling Diagram. The Corpse King's continuous palm strikes were guided by the Flow Channeling Diagram, turning into countless lines that bombarded the surrounding heaven and earth. Each line broke through the void, and its power surpassed that of an Emissary. One of the lines even rushed into the ground. Che Zhan raised his blade and slashed. The line was cut in half, and the blade cracked. He himself was forced back several steps, his face pale.
Che Zhan was an Emissary, but even he was in such a state. No one could imagine what kind of attack Lu Yin was facing.
The Flow Diversion Diagram could not withstand the Corpse King's palm strike and was shattered. Lu Yin took a step forward and teleported behind the Corpse King, slapping the back of its head.
The Corpse King's body disappeared as it stepped into the Astral Source Universe. Lu Yin moved at top speed at the same time, entering the Astral Source Universe. Everything around them changed color, and only Mister Guo and the others could see them.
Within the Astral Source Universe, the star energy in Lu Yin's body was suppressed to the extreme, and he could not use his teleportation array. The Flow Diversion Diagram, the Art of Sirius, and any other attacks that relied on star energy were ineffective. The Corpse King's physical body and innate gift were even more obvious.
Lu Yin had no choice, so he used his star energy to form a scythe and slashed at the Corpse King at a strange angle.
He had received an inheritance from the Sword Stele, and with the scythe in hand, he had an invincible aura.
Underground, Mister Guo was shocked. A scythe?
Such a weapon was rare, and he seemed to have heard of it before.
Lu Yin wielded the scythe and infused it with golden battle force. He slashed at the Corpse King's chest, leaving a bloody gash. The Corpse King did not seem to care and sent a palm strike towards Lu Yin's head. Lu Yin held the scythe, and with a slight change of angle, the scythe blocked in front of him and pushed the Corpse King's palm away. At the same time, the scythe spun and turned into a sphere that slashed towards the Corpse King's neck.
The Corpse King took a step forward, unafraid of the scythe's attack. This time, both palms descended.
Lu Yin took a step back and left the Astral Source Universe. The Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and the Corpse King suddenly appeared. Lu Yin's eyes trembled as he activated the Secret Plan, Star Chessboard.
He appeared behind the Corpse King, who slammed its palms into the void and tore it apart like a curtain. Lu Yin's scythe viciously slashed at the Corpse King's neck, but there was a thump as a dark gold light appeared. Lu Yin's pupils shrank, as he could not break through the Corpse King's defense.
The Corpse King turned around and lashed out with a kick, sending Lu Yin flying. The scythe in his hand fell to the ground, and the star energy scythe fell to the ground.
The wound on the Corpse King's chest slowly healed; this was the Corpse King's physique.
Lu Yin pressed one hand against the ground and gritted his teeth as he stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth. If not for Yun Luyi's protection, he would have been heavily injured in a duel with this Corpse King.
Within the Upper Wisdom Pass, the tree leaves released a vigorous vitality that allowed Lu Yin to quickly recover from his injuries.
His mind spun rapidly as he considered all the methods he had at his disposal. Domains?
Ineffective? Rune lines?
This region of space had no rune lines at all. Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique?
Using a spiritual force attack on the Corpse King was a joke. Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation?
The Corpse King was an Envoy, and whether or not he could use it was another matter. What about the Commanding Platform?
Neither the Giant Emperor nor Bai Shaohong were a match for the Corpse King. That left him with the Reaper Transformation.
Could the Reaper Transformation deal with this Corpse King?
Perhaps, but he didn't have that much death energy.
He still needed to rely on external items.
