Chapter 749: Chapter 491: Fury
"These Evil Corpses can actually become stronger?"
Feeling the sudden surge of the Evil Corpses’ aura, Mu Tian and the others’ expressions changed again.
At the same time, they became more certain that the hidden Evil Cultivator must be a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Otherwise, even a Perfect Innate Realm Evil Cultivator would find it extremely difficult to set up such a powerful Evil Formation.
Seeing the Evil Corpses’ aura continuing to increase, Mu Tian knew they couldn’t let this continue.
He decided to take the initiative, striking first with a powerful Sword Qi, aiming it at the head of one of the Evil Corpses.
But in the next moment, a crisp sound made his expression turn grim.
His Sword Qi, when it struck the Evil Corpse’s head, emitted a sound like steel colliding with steel.
Though it could break through the Evil Corpse’s flesh, the skull was completely unharmed, instead shattering his Sword Qi.
The bones of these Evil Corpses had become harder than Thousand Refinement Steel!
Seeing Mu Tian’s Sword Qi shatter, the others were equally shocked.
Mu Tian was already the strongest among them; even his Sword Qi was ineffective, making it unlikely they would have any effect.
"Everyone, there’s no other way, prepare to fight to the death, we have to go into close combat."
Mu Tian, seeing the situation, forcibly calmed himself, speaking in a deep voice.
He simultaneously took out an Elixir from his arms, preparing to consume it.
This was an Elixir he specifically exchanged from the Sect for when he descended the mountain to train.
Upon consumption, it would send his Spiritual Power into a berserk state, greatly amplifying his strength in a short time.
However, once the effects wore off, he would become extremely weakened, even less than a Postnatal Master.𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
It required more than ten days of recuperation to fully recover.
It was an Elixir not to be used easily except in times of dire need.
Hearing Mu Tian’s words, the others also took out their Elixirs.
Just now they only used Sword Qi to engage the enemy, as they feared the corpse poison on the Evil Corpses.
But now, as Sword Qi was ineffective and their retreat was blocked by the Evil Cultivator’s Array, they had no choice but to fight.
They refused to believe that the skulls of these Evil Corpses could remain so hard against their treasure swords bolstered by Spiritual Power!
Mu Tian swallowed the Elixir in one gulp, activating his heart and spirit to quickly dissolve the medicinal power.
In the next moment, he instantly felt his Spiritual Power become berserk, with powerful strength surging within.
Knowing the Elixir’s duration was short, Mu Tian did not hesitate, shaking his long sword and propelling himself forward to attack the Evil Corpses that were still absorbing the dark energy.
The others saw this and similarly swallowed their Elixirs, charging forward.
At this moment, Mu Tian, who had led the attack, reached an Evil Corpse, thrusting with his sword.
With Spiritual Power infused, the sword was sharp, its speed reaching the extreme.
With just one thrust, the head of the Evil Corpse that the Sword Qi could not pierce was penetrated by him.
The Evil Corpse he pierced through trembled, its dark energy dissipating, and it fell backward.
"It works!"
Seeing this, the few people following were overjoyed.
They all drew their swords, each taking down one Evil Corpse.
But at this time, the Evil Corpses’ counterattack began.
Each wielded their claws, closing in to surround Mu Tian and the others.
Their claws stirred up gusts, their power and speed greatly increased, reaching the Initial Innate Realm level.
This Qiu Family Village had quite a population, and there were at least dozens of Evil Corpses in the village.
With dozens of Innate Realm level Evil Corpses attacking together, even Mu Tian and the others felt immense pressure despite their considerable cultivation.
Fortunately, these Evil Corpses were ultimately dead things; although their speed and strength reached the Innate Realm level, their moves were quite crude.
For the time being, Mu Tian and his companions could still hold their ground, intermittently slaying one Evil Corpse after another.
However, with the surrounding dark energy growing thick, the surrounding Evil Corpses’ strength also increased.
Among them, they even began to coordinate, further heightening the pressure on Mu Tian and the others.
Amidst the intense battle, things remained calm on Lu Qing’s side.
Though he exuded no aura, inexplicably, no Evil Corpse dared to approach this side.
Unfortunately, Mu Tian and his group had no energy to notice this scene.
"Brother."
Little Yan also did not follow Zhao Feng and the others forward, instead turning to Lu Qing.
"Go ahead, do what you wish to do."
Lu Qing, seeing her thoughts, encouraged.
"I understand, brother!"
With her brother’s permission, Little Yan reassured herself, drew her long sword, and dashed, piercing the head of an Evil Corpse.
"Junior Sister Yan, be careful, these Evil Corpses are tough to deal with!"
Seeing Little Yan join, Mu Tian and the others shifted to let her merge into their formation.
"The little girl is still hiding her strength."
Lu Qing, seeing this, smiled.
Yet observing Mu Tian and his group’s performance, he mildly nodded.
These Sect disciples, though their heart and spirit were somewhat lacking, had commendable character.
At least when faced with a stronger Evil Cultivator, they dared to fight rather than surrender at the slightest scare.
"However... Won’t that guy just watch as his laboriously crafted Evil Corpses are all killed by Little Yan and the others?"
Lu Qing’s gaze subtly shifted to a certain spot.
With his strength, the Evil Cultivator certainly couldn’t hide from his perception.
He had long been fully aware of the hiding place.
But this was Little Yan’s trial, and unless something uncontrollable happened, he wouldn’t intervene.
As expected, watching Mu Tian and the others cut down the Evil Corpses like chopping vegetables, the hidden Evil Cultivator could no longer sit still.
Lately, he had been active in Lin State, only intending to plunder some peasants from each village to absorb their essence blood for cultivation.
He planned to move to the next state before the Righteous factions reacted, not intending to make a big commotion.
But recently, he had captured a few villagers from Qiu Family Village.
By chance, he discovered that the villagers seemed to possess some unique bloodline.
Absorbing their essence blood not only significantly increased his cultivation, but the remaining corpses were also excellent for crafting into Evil Corpses.
As an Evil Cultivator, he couldn’t miss such a golden opportunity to enhance his strength.
Immediately, the Evil Cultivator set up a Corpse Refining Array in Qiu Family Village.
He not only drained the essence blood of the entire village’s population but also refined all the corpses into Evil Corpses.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished transforming the village corpses into Evil Corpses, a few Righteous disciples came knocking.
Sadly, having just absorbed a large amount of essence blood, he was on the brink of a breakthrough and couldn’t take direct action, having to rely on the just-crafted Evil Corpses to fight.
He hadn’t expected these Righteous disciples to be so troublesome, as even with the Array’s support, the Evil Corpses couldn’t take them down.
Watching Mu Tian and the others continually slay the Evil Corpses, the Evil Cultivator grew somewhat anxious.
These Evil Corpses, infused with a special bloodline, had enormous potential, and if they continued to be lost, his losses would be significant.
"You brats, stop being so arrogant!"
In a fit of urgent anger, the Evil Cultivator clasped his hands and cast a spell.
The next moment, the ground shook, and three Black Coffins emerged from the ground, landing on the surface.
