Chapter 132: The Red Glow Twin Beauties
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Zhuge Qing and the others; they had not expected that after destroying the "Heavenly Demon Corpse Refining," the two corpses released by Tie Lin would be even more terrifying!
"Junior Sister, watch out!"
Nangong Ao, standing in the distance, suddenly shouted as if he had gone mad. He saw that female corpse flash and arrive right in front of the young woman in purple.
As those two soft, boneless palms pushed forward, the crimson flames on her body surged instantly; two streams of fire flew from her palms and coiled toward the young woman in purple.
Ding Fu was so frightened that her face turned pale. With a shift of her Divine Sense, the white cold air in front of her rapidly condensed into an ice barrier a zhang wide!
"Snap!"
After a crisp sound, the ice barrier was shattered into pieces by the crimson light emitted by the female corpse, scattering like ice petals. Ding Fu used this time to quickly retreat and stand beside Nangong Ao!
Although she had dodged the attack, a look of terror remained on the young woman in purple's face. The ice barrier she had formed was not just exceptionally hard, but it certainly shouldn't have been broken in one blow! It seemed she had underestimated the strength of the female corpse.
"Nangong Senior Brother! These two corpses are too terrifying!"
Hearing the young woman in purple's words, Nangong Ao did not make a sound; his eyes, flickering like bright lamps, swept continuously over the two corpses. Suddenly, he shouted loudly:
"Everyone be careful, do not let the red flames on these two corpses hit you. The flames on their bodies are called 'Red Glow,' and they survive specifically by burning blood! Once the flames injure your skin, the 'Red Glow' will burrow into your body until it burns up all the blood within you!"
As soon as Nangong Ao said this, everyone's expression changed, especially Han Liang, who had taken a blow from the male corpse with his own body; he broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that his body hadn't been damaged earlier, or he would already be a corpse himself!
Tie Lin's originally smug expression froze instantly; he had not expected that someone here would actually recognize this fire!
"Tie Lin, you are truly impressive! Where did you get the bodies of the 'Red Glow Twin Beauties'!"
Nangong Ao asked loudly on purpose; his voice was extremely high, and many of the surrounding cultivators heard it very clearly!
"Nangong Ao! You are courting death!"
As if a massive secret had been exposed, Tie Lin's face turned deathly pale. With a shift of his Divine Sense, the pair of corpses, known in their lifetimes as the "Red Glow Twin Beauties," flashed simultaneously and lunged at Nangong Ao!
"What, looking to kill to silence me?"
Nangong Ao sneered. Seeing the pair of corpses lunging at him, he had no intention of dodging at all. The red light on the tips of the "Yidianhong Twin Swords" in his hands flashed violently. Without any other movement, the two long swords made a "swish-swish" sound and attacked the two corpses respectively!
As they flew into mid-air, the "Yidianhong Twin Swords" suddenly emitted a soft chime, and at the same time, the two swords transformed in the air, turning into two white giant pythons a zhang long.
On the heads of the two giant pythons, each had a crimson horn. With a turn of their bodies, they blocked the two corpses in mid-air.
"You won't let me speak of their origins—are you afraid that people from the 'Red Glow Tribe' will come to seek revenge on you?"
Having just blocked the "Red Glow Twin Beauties," Nangong Ao spoke loudly again. Everyone looked at him in astonishment, wondering why he would say these things at such a critical moment.
The Corpse Refining Sect had always used the corpses of cultivators to create corpses; everyone understood this. But looking at Tie Lin's expression, it was clear he was very afraid of others knowing the origins of these two corpses! But the more he feared it, the more Nangong Ao spoke. At this moment, Tie Lin's face looked no better than a pig's liver!
"Kill him for me!"
Roaring like a madman, Tie Lin pointed repeatedly at the two corpses in the sky. At the same time, the crimson flames on the corpses' bodies surged. The four palms of the corpses pushed outward simultaneously.
Immediately, a ring of fire as thick as an arm expanded rapidly outward with the corpses as the center. The "Yidianhong Twin Swords," which had turned into two giant pythons, let out two cries of distress after being hit by the fire ring, instantly reverting to their original sword forms and falling from the sky.
Nangong Ao was greatly alarmed and flew up to catch the twin swords. Upon touching them, he felt the pair of swords were scorching hot, as if they had just been taken out of a furnace. However, looking at the Spirit Power fluctuations on them, they did not seem to be damaged too severely.
The fire ring emitted by the "Red Glow Twin Beauties" began to vanish bit by bit after expanding to several dozen zhang in size. Just then, when everyone thought Tie Lin was intent on killing Nangong Ao, the pair of corpses in the sky flashed in a strange way and charged toward Zhang Nuo.
Zhang Nuo, who had been watching the battle from the side, never imagined that Tie Lin would change his target to him! Having just witnessed the supernatural abilities of the two corpses, he broke out in a cold sweat!
As he moved the Wu Hook in his hand, two cyan ribbons of energy were instantly swung out. However, just as the ribbons were about to strike the corpses, he saw the two of them reach out their palms at almost the same time and grab at the two cyan ribbons!
With two soft "bangs," the two ribbons were actually grabbed and dispersed by them! Zhang Nuo's attack had no effect on them.
Seeing this, Zhuge Qing was also very anxious. She urged her Divine Sense, and the "Moonlight Wheel" beside her erupted with five-colored light, flashing as it attacked the male corpse! During its flight, the Moonlight Wheel condensed a huge blade of light at its front using five-colored flowing light.
Looking from afar, this five-colored light blade looked just like a half-moon scimitar! It flashed and slashed over! Although the corpse dared to use its hands to crush the cyan ribbons sent by Zhang Nuo, it did not dare to try and crush this scimitar condensed from five-colored light.
Dodging to one side, the male corpse avoided the Moonlight Wheel's attack, but because of this, his speed was a step slower than the female corpse.
When the female corpse was less than three zhang away from Zhang Nuo, a scorching sensation washed over him. Gritting his teeth, Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes, while his hands changed hand seals several times, finally casting two techniques that merged into the two flying swords in front of him.
Instantly, both flying swords emitted a hum, and wrapped in white spiritual light, they transformed into two silver dragons, baring fangs and brandishing claws.
After two dragon roars that shook the sky, the two silver dragons lunged forward and attacked the female corpse! Although he had suffered at Zhang Nuo's hands before, Tie Lin had never imagined that with Zhang Nuo's cultivation, he could transform two seemingly ordinary flying swords into Spirit Beasts!
Greatly alarmed, he wanted to have the female corpse retreat, but it was already too late; the two silver dragons were incredibly fast, flashing to the front of the corpse in an instant.
"Boom! Boom!"
After two explosions, the two silver dragons formed by the flying swords struck the female corpse's body. Although the corpse had the "Red Glow" exotic fire protecting it, it was still blasted away. However, the flying swords, having exhausted their power, returned to their original forms, circled in the air, and returned to Zhang Nuo's side.
Zhang Nuo let out a long breath; blocking that strike had truly cost him quite a bit of Spirit Power. But when his gaze turned toward the female corpse, his eyes couldn't help but go blank!
He saw that most of the corpse's clothes had been shredded by the force of the two silver dragons' blast. The female corpse's graceful body became visible as the tattered clothes fluttered in the wind. The beautiful sight was fully exposed to his eyes!
Tie Lin's expression became exceptionally ugly. It wasn't because the female corpse's clothes were shredded, but because Zhang Nuo's attack—although the silver dragons transformed from the two flying swords seemed profound—was not enough to injure the corpse.
Yet the corpse's clothes had been destroyed, which meant that if Zhang Nuo's attack had enough power, even the "Red Glow Fire" would not be able to withstand the silver dragons' attack.
Just as the female corpse was struck and its body stalled, Han Liang on the ground wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, while the spiritual light in his Divine Sea surged continuously into the Square Heaven Painted Halberd.
Raising his arm, the tip of the Great Halberd pointed toward the female corpse in the sky! A strange "crackling" sound arose, and blue electric arcs began to erupt from the Square Heaven Painted Halberd!
"Whoosh!" A sound of breaking wind rang out, and the halberd, wreathed in blue electric arcs, shot toward the female corpse like a meteor!
While throwing the halberd, Han Liang shouted loudly at Zhuge Qing:
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge!"
Hearing this, a fierce look flashed in Zhuge Qing's bright eyes! Without answering Han Liang, she changed her hand seal, and the Moonlight Wheel in the distance suddenly flashed with five-colored light; with a spin, it actually split into three clones.
At the same time, the three Moonlight Wheel clones flashed rapidly to three different directions, each several zhang away from the female corpse! The crescent-shaped edges pointed at the corpse, and suddenly, the three Moonlight Wheels shot out three streams of five-colored light.
"Swish!" In mid-air, they formed a five-colored light sphere several zhang in diameter, and both the female corpse and Han Liang's Square Heaven Painted Halberd were wrapped inside it.
All of this happened extremely quickly; from Han Liang throwing the halberd to the formation of the five-colored light sphere, it was almost just a single breath of time. The female corpse inside the five-colored light sphere had wanted to dodge the Square Heaven Painted Halberd's attack, but inside the sphere, its body felt as if it were imprisoned, unable to move a single inch.
Just as the halberd was about to pierce the female corpse's body, the male corpse on the side suddenly exploded with speed, arriving behind one of the Moonlight Wheels like a meteor, and with a fist wrapped in "Red Glow Fire," delivered a full-force blow!
With a thunderous boom, the Moonlight Wheel clone was sent flying wildly, and after a blur, it vanished!
Seeing this, Zhuge Qing was greatly alarmed! They were about to successfully kill a corpse, but at the most critical moment, their efforts had fallen short!
