Chapter 1187: Touching Corpses Hard

On the battlefield starry sky, the stars were brilliant, and a special drum sound surged and echoed, forming a sound containing Immortal Law, fluctuating the void.

This was the Divine Suppression Drum.

It was a sharp weapon for the Nianlin Army to patrol and sweep away hidden gods, extremely sensitive to foreign matter.

It could lock onto all traces of gods within range, extremely sensitive to foreign matter.

At this moment, the drum sound transformed into a guide, locking onto all directions, and under the decree of that low voice, the five flying boats from the patrol team whistled away.

Straight toward the destination.

The remaining patrol teams continued to move forward, exploring other directions, and waiting for feedback from the flying boats executing the extermination mission.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

The exploration of other directions had not yet been completed, but information from the outgoing flying boats arrived in advance.

"My lord, we have arrived at Huiling Star according to the drum sound guide, but this place is filled with divine corpses, and... it is clean."

The cultivator who sent the information had a strange tone.

"Unknown parties arrived here before us and exterminated them."

In the starry sky, inside the patrol flying boat, the middle-aged cultivator responsible for this patrol mission had a cold expression.

This cultivator wore blue scale armor, his whole body emitting the aura of a peak Quasi-Immortal, extremely extraordinary.

At this moment, sitting cross-legged and sensing this feedback information, the middle-aged cultivator opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes filled with contemplation.

This massive war zone was their Nianlin Army's responsibility, and in this regional area, there was only his patrol team.

But now, there were unknown parties who had struck before them...

Thus, very quickly, the middle-aged cultivator issued a decree, and the next instant, all the patrol flying boats dove into the void in the starry sky, speeding toward Huiling Star.

Not long after, outside Huiling Star where the Sister Xuan, Lin, Mo, Ling, and Feng teams were located, ripples appeared in the starry sky, and one flying boat after another shuttled out directly from the void.

The moment they appeared, led by the peak Quasi-Immortal middle-aged cultivator, over a hundred figures whistled out like streaks of meteorites, rushing straight toward the star.

Descending instantly.

And then... everyone's expressions became strange.

What came into their view were the collapsed divine altar and the divine corpses all over the ground.

Those corpses were all withered, and it was clearly not a one-hit kill, but clearly existed with traces of being stimulated, a look of having been forcibly collected of source quality.

And it was indeed clean...

Not a trace of source quality existed.

Looking at these, everyone looked at each other.

In reality, this technique didn't look like the style of their Nianlin Army.

"Looks a bit like a Corpse-Touching Team... too clean." The middle-aged cultivator responsible for this patrol mission had a guard beside him speak in a low voice.

This sentence expressed the inner thoughts of many people.

In reality, this scene, no matter how one looked at it, looked like a Corpse-Touching Team had been here.

After all, collecting source quality is delicate work; if it were them, it would be very hard to be this clean; this requires practice after practice.

"But those people from the Corpse-Touching Team, like vultures, only appear at large-scale battlefields."

"This kind of place with dozens of gods, they generally wouldn't appear."

Some also raised doubts.

"Could it be that scouts from other legions came here? And they are accompanied by a Corpse-Touching Team? What kind of configuration is this?"

And while everyone was analyzing, the peak Quasi-Immortal middle-aged cultivator swept his gaze over all the corpses, then looked at the collapsed divine altar, and finally landed on one corpse.

Looking at this corpse, his eyes revealed gloomy light, and he spoke slowly.

"This god is a mid-stage Divine Platform!"

"They hid here, setting up a divine altar, but it hadn't reached the time to open, and in the end, they had to open it hastily."

"So, the one who killed them didn't sense it with the Divine Suppression Drum like us, but... had been eyeing them for a long time."

"Being able to kill a mid-stage Divine Platform in such a short time, and erase all traces so that we didn't sense it, this group of unknown parties is not simple."

As soon as the middle-aged cultivator's words came out, the surroundings fell silent instantly.

Half a moment later, the middle-aged cultivator withdrew his gaze.

"Report this matter up; it should be comrades from other legions who crossed the zone."

After speaking, he took a step, walked onto the starry sky, and the cultivators beside him also flew up, returning to the flying boat.

However, many of them, while returning, looked back at the battlefield, a sense of emotion rising in their hearts.

"Crossing the zone, and also carrying a Corpse-Touching Team..."

At the same time, in the starry sky some distance away from Huiling Star, Xu Qing and his group, who were considered by the Nianlin Army patrol team to be a team that had crossed the zone, were currently hiding and speeding while also transmitting to each other, summarizing this battle.

"The speed of collection is still too slow."

"Although we are skilled at live collection, due to various reasons, it is very hard to increase the speed."

"And to be more thorough, we have to constantly stimulate..."

"It's fine usually, but on the battlefield, actually, what is more suitable is corpse collection!"

"We must practice corpse collection more; the faster the collection speed, the more suitable it is for the battlefield."

In this discussion and summary, Xu Qing spoke, setting the direction.

"Then next, besides collective corpse-touching missions, follow the previous method, find suitable divine teams, on one hand to collect, on the other to practice!"

As Xu Qing's words spread, everyone nodded, then scattered one after another, looking for the next target.

Very quickly, only Xu Qing remained in the starry sky. He looked at those ascenders who had left, and after half a moment, found a meteorite to act as his temporary cave dwelling, sitting cross-legged inside.

He prepared to continue absorbing source quality, striving to make his cultivation continue to improve.

At the same time, regarding this war, after experiencing this journey, at this moment in this cross-legged state, in this silence all around, Xu Qing was also pondering.

"Looking at it as a whole, these frictions occurring at the Left Wing front line war zone are clearly a play coordinated by both sides."

"Each has its own purpose."

"Unfortunately, due to the lack of comprehensive information, it is impossible to analyze what the purpose of the central war zone is."

"But one can be sure... with a war of this scale, sacrificing so much, then what is to be accomplished must be strategically important!"

Xu Qing pondered.

Only by clarifying the general trend of the war could one obtain what one needed within it.

"I am currently at the early stage of Quasi-Immortal; wanting to reach the Great Perfection requires massive source quality..."

"And time, is already running out."

"Everything must find a way to speed up!"

Xu Qing muttered, raised his hand to take out the source quality collected along the way, and began to absorb it.

Time passed slowly.

Three months passed in a flash.

During these three months, in the war zone managed by the Nianlin Army, things like what happened on Huiling Star appeared several times.

Each time, it was before the patrol team arrived, those hidden gods were exterminated, and the source quality was collected.

And the speed of battle and collection was getting faster and faster.

The cleanliness of cleaning up the battlefield was also getting neater and neater.

Thus, gradually, rumors spread among many patrol teams.

Rumors that there was such a cross-zone team from another legion, active in the Nianlin Army's war zone, and they were insane, equipped with a Corpse-Touching Team, and every time they struck, it was fast, accurate, clean, and ruthless.

This matter gradually aroused strong dissatisfaction among the local Corpse-Touching Teams in this war zone.

It also attracted the attention of the legion's high-level officials, but just as they were preparing to investigate in detail, this mysterious team vanished without a trace and did not appear again.

Because similar things actually happened in every war zone, so after discovering this team had vanished, the Nianlin Army didn't spend too much effort to investigate.

There was another reason, which was that the war in this war zone was becoming increasingly frequent.

And at this moment, on a giant white star, a small-scale battle between both sides with thousands of troops was erupting.

Roaring sounds and low growls came from afar.

Divine arts and Immortal laws emitted five-colored light, shining in all directions.

No one missed a single word, no one missed a single content, look at it all!

Both sides were fighting, extremely intense.

And on the edge of the battlefield, on a massive white mountain, a group of Corpse-Touching Team cultivators were waiting there.

Among them was the old man who had guided Xu Qing and the others a few months ago.

And Xu Qing and his group were also among them, currently sitting cross-legged, spreading their senses to explore the battle ahead.

Watching and watching, unlike the conservatism of other Corpse-Touching Team cultivators, these ascenders of theirs were already impatient in their hearts.

In reality, during this period, their multiple wild hunts had yielded substantial harvests, and their collection speed had clearly improved.

Everyone's cultivation had increased.

It was just that the frequent eruption of wars in the war zone meant they had no time to continue wild hunting, and could only participate in one corpse-touching mission after another.

Waiting here for a long time, but the battle between the two sides was deadlocked, and it was hard to determine the winner in a short time.

Thus, one by one, their eyes revealed gloomy light, and most looked toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also frowned; the source quality gains during this period had improved his cultivation, and now he was in a hurry to go to the next battlefield.

But clearly, the battle here could not end for a while.

Thus, after pondering, Xu Qing suddenly stood up and walked forward.

The moment his footsteps fell, the ascenders all around were excited, standing up one after another.

And the other Corpse-Touching Teams not far away were surprised.

Especially the old man who had guided Xu Qing, who looked over, just about to speak.

The next instant, Xu Qing's speed suddenly erupted, and amidst a roar, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light, like a sharp blade, rushing straight toward the battlefield.

Behind him, Zhou Zhengli and the others also rushed forward without hesitation.

Seen from afar, these dozens of people were like vultures and like a pack of wolves, causing the other corpse-touching cultivators on the mountain peak to have their hearts tremble.

The old man's eyes widened.

"They want to enter in advance? This..."

The old man exclaimed.

Before he could finish his words, in the distance, Xu Qing and his group had already descended forcibly.

Breaking into the battlefield!

Instantly, the deafening roar became clear in their ears, and the ripples of the techniques also surged on their bodies.

Xu Qing bore the brunt of it, his speed erupting fully as he transformed into a blurred shadow, weaving through the battlefield, appearing directly beside a god-corpse at the peak of the Divine Fire realm.

Raising his right hand, he pressed it on the chest of this corpse, and in front of the many combatants on both sides, on this battlefield, he began to collect source quality!

Following the massive collection of source quality, this divine corpse withered rapidly.

As for the combatants on both sides nearby, after their peripheral vision and divine thoughts probed this scene, whether they were cultivators or gods, they were all stunned.

They had never seen such a thing.

And very quickly, it wasn't just the combatants on both sides around Xu Qing who were stunned; following the arrival of Zhou Zhengli and the others, these ascenders had already scattered, each rushing straight toward the corpses.

Collecting madly!

Their movements were skilled, their speed was extremely fast, and after collecting one, they rushed toward another.

Thus, more combatants on both sides saw this incredibly strange scene occurring on the battlefield.

Clearly both sides were fighting for their lives, but suddenly this group of people appeared, touching corpses and collecting right in front of them.

For cultivators, although they felt it was strange, they were all humans after all, but for those gods, it was clearly a massive stimulation, so those nearby immediately attacked.

But these corpse-touching cultivators who broke into the battlefield had clear goals; upon encountering obstruction, they would give up immediately, fly away rapidly, and not linger in battle, going to find other divine corpses.

And on the battlefield, both sides were deadlocked, life and death at any moment; if they were distracted by these corpse-touching cultivators or chased after them, the Nianlin Army cultivators fighting them would immediately seize the opportunity.

In this way, the god side had no choice but to stop, and these corpse-touching cultivators themselves were not weak, which made them like fish in water on this battlefield.

Collecting divine corpses madly.

But if it were just this, it would be fine; after all, these corpse-touching cultivators only numbered in the dozens, and their impact on the overall battlefield was small.

But... very quickly, a different scene appeared near Xu Qing.

On the way to pounce on a divine corpse, in front of Xu Qing, there was a peak Divine Fire god fighting for his life with a Nianlin Army cultivator.

This god's eyes were cold, divine arts were erupting, and the source quality in his body was surging, emitting an alluring aura.

And that Nianlin Army cultivator had crimson eyes, about to fight for his life.

But the next instant, both the cultivator and the god had their eyes blur.

Xu Qing's figure appeared abruptly in their view.

Without waiting for a reaction, Xu Qing, who had descended, had already raised his right hand, grabbed the god's neck, and his Immortal Embryo power surged like a massive flood, pouring into the god's body.

Piercing wails instantly came from that god's mouth, his vitality extinguished instantly, and the position of his neck roared, directly collapsing.

Becoming a corpse.

Xu Qing squatted down, collecting while it was hot.

The Nianlin Army cultivator who was about to fight for his life beside him was stunned for a moment, then gratitude appeared in his eyes.

And this scene was noticed by Fu Xie You Lingzi, who licked his lips, attacked a god fighting with a cultivator, and forcibly collected the corpse.

Forcibly collecting the corpse.

Very quickly, other ascenders also did this one after another, each like a wolf or tiger, attacking one after another.

If there was a corpse beside them, they collected the corpse; if they encountered an alluring one on the way, they forcibly collected the corpse.

Fighting if they could, sneak-attacking if they could, and if they couldn't fight, they would avoid it without hesitation using life-saving methods.

In this way, on this battlefield, ripples gradually rose.

Although these ripples weren't big at first, as time passed, and with the madness of Xu Qing and his group, these people gradually became eye-catching.

The commanders of both sides in this battle also noticed.

And compared to the frowning of the god side, the peak Quasi-Immortal commander on the cultivator side had strange light in his eyes.

As for the distant mountain peaks, the other Corpse-Touching Teams, including the old man, all had their hearts roaring intensely, dumbfounded.

"Is this corpse touching?"

A teammate beside him muttered upon hearing this.

"It is corpse touching, I saw it very clearly, they all touch after killing..." ===== CHAPTER 1190 =====
