Chapter 129: Resisting the Golden Core Stage with Force
Tie Lin had just been observing from mid-air for a while, and seeing that the Corpse Refining Sect cultivators in one particular battle were retreating steadily, he went to assist them immediately. With his cultivation, he killed over ten people in just an instant. By the time Zhuge Qing and the other four arrived, three more cultivators had already fallen at his hands.
"Whoosh!"
A sound of something piercing through the air rang out, and a crescent-shaped Magic Treasure, enveloped in five-colored light, was seen slashing toward Tie Lin at high speed. With a movement of his Divine Sense, Tie Lin immediately sensed the power of the Magic Treasure and flashed his body to the side, dodging the attack.
With a miserable shriek of "Ah!", although Tie Lin had dodged the Magic Treasure's attack, a Corpse Refining Sect cultivator behind him was struck by the crescent-shaped Magic Treasure, and an arm was hacked off alive.
A flash of angry killing intent crossed his eyes. Tie Lin turned his head to look at the owner of the Magic Treasure, only to see a stunningly beautiful young girl pulling the Magic Treasure back with one hand. Who else could it be but Zhuge Qing?
Standing on either side of her were two cultivators each. Tie Lin recognized three of them: Han Liang, Nangong Ao, and Ding Fu, but he had never seen the last green-robed cultivator before! Judging by his cultivation, he appeared to be only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
"Well come! Zhuge Qing, you bitch! If I, Tie, don't kill you today, I will absolutely not let it rest!"
Being able to reach this point today was entirely because Zhuge Qing had foreseen the Corpse Refining Sect's plan in advance; if not for that, the three major sects within the Trial Ground would certainly have suffered heavy losses.
To resolve the hatred in one's heart, draw the sword and slay the enemy! Tie Lin released all the fury in his heart onto the young girl. He flicked his robe sleeve, and a black wooden coffin appeared before everyone's eyes.
As the coffin lid opened, a Corpse Refining emerged from within. This Corpse Refining was bare-chested, its muscles bulging all over, its skin a bronze color, and it wore shimmering silver metal gloves on its hands; it even had a pair of fleshy wings on its back!
Just after exiting the coffin, the Corpse Refining let out a long howl at Zhuge Qing and the others. At the same time, raging Silver Flame suddenly ignited within its eyes!
"Everyone, be careful! This is Tie Lin's 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'! It is said that this Corpse Refining was a member of the Demon race during its lifetime, and its Demonic Arts are not to be underestimated! After being modified by him, its cultivation has almost reached the Golden Core stage!"
Fearing that everyone might underestimate the enemy, the young girl explained.
Aside from Zhang Nuo, the other three also knew the reputation of Tie Lin's Corpse Refining and naturally would not be careless. Looking at the eerie appearance of the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' before him, Zhang Nuo felt a slight shock in his heart.
The Corpse Refining Sect had always relied on driving Corpse Refinings; when facing an enemy, it was equivalent to fighting two against one. Some Corpse Refining Sect disciples could even drive two Corpse Refinings simultaneously, making the momentum even more astonishing.
Just as Zhang Nuo was secretly pondering, Tie Lin's gaze fell grimly upon him. Suddenly, the fleshy wings on the back of the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' moved, and it charged toward him like lightning. At the same time, on one of the Corpse Refining's hands, the silver glove erupted with billowing silver flames, and as it swung its fist, it slammed toward Zhang Nuo.
Seeing the astonishing speed of the Corpse Refining, Zhang Nuo dared not be slow, but his own fighting spirit was also ignited. Since he had started his journey, this was the first time he had participated in such a great battle. He moved his Divine Sense, and a dragon's roar erupted from the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' on his back as four White Threads shot out.
The White Threads instantly streaked across the mid-air, leaving four traces, and arrived in front of the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' in a flash. The Corpse Refining had originally been aiming for Zhang Nuo, but suddenly seeing the white light move and sensing the power within the White Threads, it stiffened its body, forcibly stopping in place, and waved its hands continuously, knocking all the white light attacking it away.
After four sounds of metal clashing, Zhang Nuo's four Flying Swords were all beaten back. However, after just one exchange, Han Liang, Nangong Ao, and the others understood why Zhuge Qing had insisted on this Foundation Establishment Early Stage kid joining; being able to block Tie Lin's 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' in a single blow, his strength was definitely not ordinary.
At this moment, Tie Lin was even more horrified in his heart. He had originally intended to kill the one with the lowest cultivation to establish his prestige in front of Zhuge Qing and the others, but he had not expected the green-robed cultivator's Flying Swords to be this fast, forcing even the Corpse Refining to stop and defend!
However, the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' only hesitated for a moment before its figure flashed again, lunging toward Zhang Nuo once more! At the same time, Han Liang suddenly let out a soft whistle and patted the Storage Bag at his waist. The Square Heaven Painted Halberd flashed out, and the halberd body grew in the wind, transforming to a size of about a zhang.
Grabbing the Great Halberd in his hand, Han Liang moved his body, and the cold halberd tip poked toward the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'!
"Boom!"
Seeing the Great Halberd attack, the Corpse Refining immediately changed direction, slamming its silver-flame-burning palm against the Square Heaven Painted Halberd. With an explosive sound, Han Liang's body was forced back more than several zhang, while the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' swayed and landed on the ground.
Tie Lin sensed slightly with his Divine Sense and discovered that the Corpse Refining had not been damaged, which finally put his mind at ease. He then rushed forward and stood together with the Corpse Refining.
After two rounds of attacks, Tie Lin had not gained any advantage at all, and anger welled up in his heart. He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which struck the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'.
Immediately, the Corpse Refining let out a long howl to the sky, and the silver flames in its eyes burned even more fiercely.
"Four fellow Daoists, let us act together. As long as we kill Tie Lin, the other Corpse Refining Sect cultivators will be nothing to fear!"
Zhuge Qing said loudly after casting a spell toward the 'Moonlight Wheel' in front of her.
At this time, the purple-clad young woman also flipped her palm, and the cyan Gourd Magic Treasure appeared on her palm. With a slight rotation, countless white cold air rolled out, quickly enveloping her body.
As for Nangong Ao beside the young woman, he was unhurried at this moment. He shook his robe sleeves, and two strangely shaped long swords flew out from within.
These two long swords were snow-white all over, their blades curved into a snake-like shape. At the tip of each sword, there was a flickering red light cluster; the light clusters were only the size of a thumb, yet they emitted an eerie aura!
"Green Cold Gourd! Yidianhong Twin Swords! Hehe, I have long wanted to experience the power of your Magic Treasures!"
Upon seeing the purple-clad young woman and Nangong Ao reveal their Magic Treasures, Tie Lin's eyes erupted with intense fighting spirit. Especially Nangong Ao, who had long been famous on the Tianjiang Plain, but for some reason, he had always been trapped at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Great Perfection Stage. Despite this, the title of the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Beixuan Sect still made many people jealous.
Before entering the Trial Ground, Tie Lin had intended to fight Nangong Ao, but he had never had the chance. Now that he had entered the Golden Core stage, although he was facing five powerhouses from the three major sects, he was still unafraid.
The six people looked at each other with swords drawn and bows bent; a great battle was on the verge of breaking out! And just a hundred zhang away from the six, a blood-red Corpse Refining suddenly emerged from the ground, Bone Spikes growing rapidly from its ten fingers, and in just one strike, it killed a Nanxuan Sect cultivator.
Afterward, the Blood Corpse sank back into the ground, leaving no trace! A black-robed cultivator standing not far away had a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, and as his gaze shifted slightly, he looked toward the direction of Tie Lin, Zhuge Qing, and the others.
"Let's see how you kill these five people!"
After spitting out these few words with disdain, the black-robed person flashed his figure and ran to another place. This person was none other than Gu Yu. Relying on the Blood Corpse's instinct to burrow underground, he wandered through the battlefield, launching surprise attacks on the cultivators of the three major sects.
But what he truly cared about was the battle on Tie Lin's side. The victory or defeat of this battle did not depend on the group fight; if Tie Lin killed all five cultivators of the three major sects, this battle would inevitably be a victory for the Corpse Refining Sect. If Tie Lin failed and was unfortunately killed by Han Liang and the others, the remaining Corpse Refining Sect disciples would surely be slaughtered!
Deep in Gu Yu's heart, there was a faint desire for Tie Lin to lose. Ever since this senior brother had reached the Golden Core stage, he had never looked at him squarely, and all the promises he had made before had vanished into thin air, wasting the year and more that Gu Yu had spent guarding him.
Moreover, Tie Lin deliberately let Gu Yu do some dangerous things, even intentionally wanting him to die in the Trial Ground, which made Gu Yu extremely angry. However, because of his cultivation, Gu Yu had been enduring it, and on the surface, he still had to put on an appearance of absolute obedience. In reality, he hated Tie Lin to the core.
Tie Lin did not know any of this about Gu Yu. He only discovered that this junior brother, who used to be on equal footing with him, finally showed him a bit of respect now, and he felt truly comfortable!
After a roar of "Ao!", the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' beside Tie Lin suddenly charged forward, its fleshy wings flapping slightly, and its speed increased by a few points immediately. As its two silver-gloved fists collided, a harsh, piercing sound erupted. At the same time, silver flames surged on the two silver gloves, and as its hands waved, two silver flames shot through the air. The target was none other than the purple-clad young woman!
Not knowing what was strange about the silver flames, the purple-clad young woman dared not be too careless. She immediately pointed her jade fingers rapidly toward the white cold air beside her. In an instant, two icy cyclones were conceived and born, and they shot out in a flash.
As soon as the icy cyclones collided with the silver flames, a "hissing" sound was immediately emitted, and in the blink of an eye, both turned into specks of spiritual light, disappearing into mid-air.
The purple-clad young woman felt a slight joy in her heart. Since the cold air released by the 'Green Cold Gourd' could contend with the silver flames of the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining', she felt somewhat more confident.
Just as the silver flames disappeared, the other four brought out their Magic Treasures simultaneously, and amidst the flashing of various lights, they slashed toward Tie Lin and his Corpse Refining respectively!
"Swish! Swish!"
The sounds of Tie Lin's figure drifting echoed one after another. Because he had just entered the Golden Core stage, he had not refined any other Magic Treasures at all. Aside from having a cultivation base, he basically had no other means. Now, his main attack power was still this 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'! As long as he controlled the Corpse Refining well, killing the five people would not be a problem!
