Chapter 131: Reversal
The giant hand transformed from the Golden Light of the "Heavenly Dipper Body-Strengthening Art" grabbed the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining" tightly, leaving it unable to move a single bit!
Upon seeing this, Han Liang was immediately overjoyed. He then uttered the word "Fall," and the Square Heaven Painted Halberd he had previously thrown high into the air, its entire body flashing with Blue Electric Arc, dove with its tip pointing downward and pierced through the head of the corpse in a flash; in the blink of an eye, the tip of the halberd emerged from beneath the corpse's body.
The Great Halberd had thus pierced the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining" from head to toe. The body of the halberd remained inside the corpse, and the constantly leaping Blue Electric Arc spread across the corpse's entire body.
With a soft "Pop," the thick ice crystals that had previously encased the corpse's entire body shattered the moment it was pierced by the Square Heaven Painted Halberd, turning into specks of ice that drifted between heaven and earth.
Han Liang's movements were very fluid; from activating the golden hand to grab the corpse to the Great Halberd piercing its body, it was almost done in one go, without any gap in between!
Stepping on his Flying Magic Tool, Han Liang arrived above the head of the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining" and grabbed the tail of the Square Heaven Painted Halberd with one hand. At this moment, the Silver Flame burning in the corpse's eyes was extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Han Liang!"
Below, Tie Lin let out a roar like a wild beast. From the moment he was struck by Zhang Nuo's attack to the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining" being pierced, all of this had happened in just a few breaths of time.
In this short time, the five people in the sky had performed a reversal of fortune. The members of the Corpse Refining Sect had thought that with a Golden Core stage cultivator presiding, they would surely be able to slaughter the cultivators of the three major sects, but they never expected that in an instant, even the corpse of their Senior Brother Tie Lin would be destroyed by them!
"Tie Lin! Let's see how long you can hold out now that you have no corpse!"
In the sky, Han Liang slightly twisted his palm gripping the Great Halberd, and after a strange smile crossed his face, with a boom, the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining" exploded, and pieces of its remains fell from mid-air like black snowflakes.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Han truly has excellent methods!"
Nangong Ao stood not far away, deliberately laughing out loud.
Tie Lin's expression grew increasingly ugly, and a low sound emerged as his throat rolled.
"Today, all of you must die! Especially you, Han Liang!"
Feeling the cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect casting their gazes upon him through his Divine Sense, Tie Lin had the feeling of being stripped bare and standing naked in front of everyone. He possessed a cultivation base, yet he had still had his corpse destroyed by five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
Among the crowd of the Corpse Refining Sect, there was a person with a cold sneer on his face, staring at Tie Lin as if watching a spectacle; this person was none other than Gu Yu! Seeing Tie Lin beaten so miserably, he felt a strong sense of vengeful pleasure in his heart.
However, this pleasure was only a flash, and Gu Yu's expression immediately turned serious again, because he had thought of one thing! Tie Lin did not only have this one "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining," it was just that this corpse was his most commonly used one.
"Things are getting more and more interesting!"
In a voice almost too low to hear, Gu Yu muttered to himself.
"Swish!"
A three-foot-long Flying Sword shot out from nowhere, its target being the furious Tie Lin!
"Seeking death!"
Sensing the Flying Sword slashing toward him, the enraged Tie Lin grabbed it backhanded, catching the Flying Sword firmly in his hand. With black Qi swirling between his fingers, with a "Whoosh," he sent the Flying Sword back the way it came. Following the scream of a cultivator, the returning Flying Sword pierced directly through their chest.
"Alas!"
Nangong Ao sighed with a slightly changed expression. The one who had ambushed Tie Lin just now was a Beixuan Sect cultivator. This cultivator had originally thought that Tie Lin would have lost his composure in his rage and could be taken down in one strike, but he had forgotten that the opponent had now entered the Golden Core stage; the strength of his Divine Sense far exceeded his imagination. Just as the cultivator here had unleashed the Flying Sword, Tie Lin had already sensed it.
Having killed the cultivator who ambushed him, Tie Lin's mood improved slightly. Looking at Zhuge Qing and the others opposite him, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Don't think that just because you destroyed one of my corpses, you have bested me!"
There seemed to be a hidden meaning in Tie Lin's words, but he stopped halfway through. The five people looked at each other, none of them knowing what he meant.
Just at this moment, Tie Lin took a Storage Bag from his bosom, reached out and gently stroked the bag, a look of wild joy appearing in his eyes!
"It has been a long time since I let you all out! Today, let the people of the three major sects witness your divine abilities!"
As if speaking to living things, this action of Tie Lin's left everyone somewhat confused, but there was one person in the field who knew what was going on. His figure involuntarily retreated again and again, as if avoiding some disaster.
This person was Gu Yu; in his small eyes, nothing could be found but fear! At this moment, Tie Lin did not notice anyone else's expression; in his eyes, there was only the Storage Bag in his hand. He opened the mouth of the bag and tilted it downward.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two loud sounds came in succession, and what appeared before everyone's eyes were two white Jade Token coffins. These two jade coffins were pure white and flawless, with ancient patterns carved on the coffin lids, and waves of deathly aura made people look on with awe.
Although Zhang Nuo was standing far away from the two white jade coffins, he could still feel a powerful pressure from them, and even his heart beat more rapidly because of the appearance of the jade coffins.
"What a terrifying feeling!"
Zhuge Qing was always calm, but upon seeing the two jade coffins, she still uttered this sentence. Her pretty face was tinged with a bit of fear.
Tie Lin walked between the two jade coffins as if no one else were there, stroking the white coffin bodies with both hands, his face showing an expression that was both excited and painful. Looking up at Zhuge Qing and the other four, he gently patted the two jade coffins with his palms.
"Pop!"
Although his hands patted the two jade coffins, the sound came out at almost the same time, and then with a boom, the lids of both jade coffins opened. A male and a female corpse walked out from inside!
These two corpses were exactly the same as living people; if one looked at them from the surface, one could not tell if they were human or corpses at all, only that the gazes of the two corpses were somewhat dazed, staring straight ahead without any change.
When Zhang Nuo saw the two corpses walking out of the jade coffins, he could not help but gasp. He saw that the female corpse was wearing a pink shift, with phoenix eyes and curved brows, cherry lips, and fair skin that looked as if it would drip water if pinched. She could not be more than eighteen years old; that such a beautiful woman had been turned into a corpse was truly unimaginable!
Looking at the man beside her, he was of medium build, with regular features and handsome looks; he was truly a beautiful man! He looked to be about twenty years old. However, the Spiritual Pressure emanating from these two was not weak!
"The rest is up to you!"
Tie Lin walked to the side of the male and female corpses, stroked their hair, and said meaningfully. At the same time, he cut his own finger, and two streams of fresh blood flowed from his fingertip, slowly dripping onto the faces of the two corpses.
This strange action made Zhuge Qing feel a wave of nausea, but what shocked her even more was yet to come. As if suddenly smelling the scent of blood, the male corpse opened its mouth, stuck its tongue out long, and licked the blood that had flowed onto its face clean. Within its lifeless eyes, a piercing killing intent flashed!
With a heaven-shaking roar of "Awoo," everyone was terrified to their core. The man who had just been a dashing, handsome youth had turned into a fierce, malevolent spirit in the blink of an eye.
The female corpse likewise swallowed the blood on her face, a cold light flashing in her eyes, and a low roar issued from her throat. Her seemingly delicate shoulders moved, emitting a "crack-crack" sound of bones!
"Han Liang! Didn't you just destroy my 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'? Come and try destroying them!"
Raising his head, Tie Lin shouted at Han Liang as if in provocation.
"What is there to fear from a mere two corpses! Come on then!"
Although he knew in his heart that these two corpses would not be that simple, Han Liang still put on a look of being completely unafraid on the surface.
At the very moment his words left his mouth, the male and female corpses on the ground slightly bent their knees, and at the same time, crimson flames erupted from their bodies. With a roll, the two corpses were wrapped within them.
After two "Whoosh" sounds, the two people actually rose into the air, shooting directly toward Han Liang in mid-air!
"It's an escape light!"
As soon as the two corpses ascended, Zhuge Qing saw the truth. Although both corpses had crimson flames burning on their bodies, beneath the flames, there was clearly a layer of red light, which was the escape light that only Golden Core stage cultivators possessed!
The two corpses arrived in front of Han Liang in a flash. Although Han Liang had made preparations beforehand, the speed at which the corpses appeared was too fast, and he had no time to escape.
"Whoosh!"
The male corpse flipped one hand, and a mass of crimson flame transformed into a fist half a zhang in size, striking directly at Han Liang's body.
Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Han Liang held his Square Heaven Painted Halberd horizontally in front of his chest to defend against the opponent's attack; with a muffled 'bang', Han Liang, along with the Great Halberd, was instantly blasted onto the ground by the flaming fist.
Fortunately, Han Liang had the 'Heavenly Stellar Body Strengthening Art' protecting his body, otherwise this blow would have shattered him! Even so, as soon as Han Liang stood up from the ground, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.
"Hehe! How does it taste?"
Standing near the two Jade Tokens, Tie Lin said with a sinister laugh.
"I didn't expect these two Corpse Refining to actually be at the Golden Core stage!"
The young woman in purple's bright eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief! The previous 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining' was already terrifying enough; if it hadn't been for Tie Lin being caught off guard, Han Liang wouldn't have succeeded, but the two Corpse Refining before them appeared to have even stronger cultivation than the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining'!
Because of this! Things were going to be difficult! Just dealing with these two Corpse Refining was enough to give the five of them a headache, and if Tie Lin were to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack! The consequences would be unimaginable!
The situation that had just improved was instantly reversed the moment these two Corpse Refining of Tie Lin appeared! The cultivators of the three major sects were once again plunged into danger!
