Chapter 133: The Silver Dragon

The Square Heaven Painted Halberd was wrapped in blue electric arcs; just as it was about to pierce the Corpse Refining, the Corpse Refining's body suddenly became capable of movement!

With a hurried flash of her figure, although the female Corpse Refining dodged the fatal blow, the Great Halberd still left a long, bloody gash on her left shoulder! However, the Corpse Refining's wound did not bleed; it simply fell away like wood shavings.

Tie Lin, who was below, felt his expression relax; this minor injury meant nothing to a Corpse Refining. Just as he was looking at Han Liang with an angry face, he discovered a faint smile appearing on the other's face!

The heart that Tie Lin had just settled immediately hung in the air again; could Han Liang still have some hidden trump card? He raised his head to look at the sky, only to see the Square Heaven Painted Halberd having just brushed past the female Corpse Refining's body, before the Corpse Refining could make any reaction at all.

The Great Halberd suddenly blurred, transforming into countless blue electric arcs, and turned back to pounce on the female Corpse Refining. No one had expected this move, and even Zhuge Qing felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She had originally thought that this attack had missed and that she had lost a great opportunity to kill the Corpse Refining, but the counter-pounce of the Square Heaven Painted Halberd as it transformed into electric arcs had given her hope once more.

As the blue electric arcs enveloped the female Corpse Refining, the arcs and the Red Glow Fire intertwined, and the sound of "crackle-pop" was incessant. The female Corpse Refining's body trembled violently a few times, and suddenly, with a powerful struggle, she tried to break free from the blue electric arcs.

But the blue electric arcs were like maggots on a bone, refusing to dissipate for a long time. In the blink of an eye, the Red Glow Fire on the female Corpse Refining was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the male Corpse Refining flashed to the side of the female Corpse Refining, just about to strike to save her! A bizarre scene appeared!

Seeing this, Han Liang, standing on the ground, spat out the word "Explode." After a loud, rumbling boom, all the blue electric arcs instantly burst apart. A blue radiance illuminated the entire sky.

The male Corpse Refining was quick to react; as soon as he saw the electric arcs explode, he flashed away rapidly and was not caught in the blast. However, the Red Glow Fire on the female Corpse Refining dimmed, and she plummeted from mid-air.

Seeing this, Tie Lin wanted to go up and catch her; as long as the Corpse Refining's body was not destroyed, he could refine it again upon returning and it would still be usable. But before his body could move, his eyes saw a scene that filled his heart with horror!

A young cultivator in a green robe was seen standing directly below where the female Corpse Refining was falling, having appeared out of nowhere. His hands were forming a strange dharma seal, and six Flying Swords wrapped in Spiritual Qi above his head were rapidly merging together. Following a loud shout from the youth.

The merged Flying Sword, with a flicker of transformation, turned into a Silver Dragon fully two zhang long. This dragon raised its head toward the sky, and after a dragon's roar, its massive body charged toward the falling Corpse Refining!

"Swish!"

The Silver Dragon's speed was extremely fast; with just a flash, it charged through the female Corpse Refining's body, giving one the feeling that the dragon had swallowed her into its belly.

However, the cultivator who unleashed the Silver Dragon knew in his heart that the moment the Corpse Refining was struck by the Silver Dragon, she had turned into powder! Not even a scrap of bone remained!

The Silver Dragon did not stop there; with a flick of its tail, it pounced toward the male Corpse Refining! Seeing this, the male Corpse Refining had the Red Glow Fire on his body swirl, forming a fire shield a zhang in size in front of him.

With a loud, rumbling boom, the two-zhang-long Silver Dragon struck the fire shield all at once. However, this fire shield was truly impenetrable; only a few water-like ripples appeared on the shield's surface, and it remained completely undamaged. Conversely, the Silver Dragon dissipated upon a single strike, turning back into six Flying Swords that fell toward the ground!

The person who unleashed the Silver Dragon was none other than Zhang Nuo. He had seized the right moment, hoping to kill two birds with one stone—both destroying the female Corpse Refining and dealing a heavy blow to the male Corpse Refining—but he had not expected the Red Glow Fire to be so overbearing, forcibly resisting the strike of the Silver Dragon formed by the six Flying Swords!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the six Flying Swords flew back into the Nine Dragon Sword Case as they fell!

This action of Zhang Nuo's gave everyone another huge surprise, but he himself was unable to perform other techniques due to excessive consumption of Spirit Power. The fusion of the six Flying Swords into a giant dragon just now had used up almost all the Spiritual Qi in his body.

If not for the fact that he was a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator, he would likely have suffered from Spirit Power exhaustion and fainted by now! Even so, Zhang Nuo still felt the world spinning and his vision blurring!

Tie Lin's eyes were almost popping out; such a small Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator was actually able to erupt with such power and destroy his Corpse Refining.

Just as he was about to move to kill Zhang Nuo, his Divine Sense suddenly sensed something unusual. A sweep of his gaze revealed Nangong Ao looking at him and laughing coldly!

Could it be that Nangong Ao had gone mad? Why was he still laughing at a time like this! Suddenly, Tie Lin secretly thought, "Not good!" because he discovered that the "Yidianhong Twin Swords" originally gripped in Nangong Ao's hands were gone! And the purple-clad young woman who had been standing beside him had also disappeared.

As he pondered this in his heart, he wanted to leave this place immediately, but before his figure could even move! Two points of red light flashed beneath his feet, and suddenly, two pythons a zhang in size burst out from the ground—they were the manifestations of Nangong Ao's "Yidianhong Twin Swords"!

Before he could even activate his protective black light, Tie Lin's body was sent flying by these two pythons. The moment he was sent flying, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, dragging a long, bloody shadow through mid-air.

Tie Lin had never dreamed that while he was focused on the battle in the sky, Nangong Ao had actually let the "Yidianhong Twin Swords" lurk underground to launch a sneak attack on him!

Although he had been hit by a move, Tie Lin was not panicked in his heart; this minor injury was of no great consequence to him. Just at this moment, a green gourd suddenly flew in front of him! This time, he was truly afraid.

This Green Cold Gourd was the purple-clad young woman's Magic Treasure, the "Green Cold Gourd"! If it were to strike him while he lacked his protective black light and was at such close range, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Because the "Green Cold Gourd" appeared so quickly, Tie Lin's body was still in the state of being sent flying and had no ability to resist! The Corpse Refining in mid-air was too far away to return in time to save him!

He could only watch helplessly as the "Green Cold Gourd" launched its attack. As the white cold air on the gourd's surface swirled, with a "bang," a white round bead sprayed out from the gourd's mouth, and this bead struck Tie Lin's body all at once.

At the same time, Tie Lin felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cave; the blood in his body was almost freezing! Even the flow of his Spirit Power had stagnated.

With a "thud," Tie Lin's frozen body fell to the ground. Even so, Zhuge Qing and the others knew he was not dead, and using this opportunity, they launched their Magic Treasures to attack one after another.

But what happened next caught everyone off guard. A blood-colored Corpse Refining suddenly emerged from the ground where Tie Lin had fallen, scooped him up in one motion, and then turned to run away at high speed!

The Magic Treasures unleashed by Zhuge Qing and the others constantly erupted with dazzling light behind the blood-colored Corpse Refining, but every strike hit the ground! No one had hit the blood-colored Corpse Refining!

"Pursue!"

Everyone understood the principle that letting a tiger return to the mountains would inevitably lead to harm. At once, following a shout from Zhuge Qing, the five of them chased rapidly in the direction of the blood-colored Corpse Refining.

At the same time, the many cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect seemed to have received some order; they abandoned their opponents one after another and swarmed forward, intercepting Zhuge Qing and the others. Dozens of Corpse Refinings pounced on the five like madmen.

Facing such an offensive, no one could break through; they could only watch helplessly as the blood-colored Corpse Refining carried Tie Lin away! As for the male Corpse Refining of the "Refining Fire Twin Beauties" in the sky, it also moved and broke through the air in the direction where Tie Lin had disappeared.

With Tie Lin's disappearance, the people of the Corpse Refining Sect retreated all the way. In the blink of an eye, the vast battlefield was left with nothing but corpses everywhere and the surviving cultivators of the three great sects.

While everyone was cheering for victory, Zhuge Qing lowered her head slightly and pondered. Although Tie Lin had been struck twice just now, it was not enough to be fatal. If a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator were so easy to kill, who would still cultivate so desperately?

But why did Gu Yu's blood-colored Corpse Refining have to carry him away? If it were just to keep him from a third attack, running out a certain distance would have been enough. Once the ice crystals on Tie Lin's body melted, relying on driving that male Corpse Refining alone would have been enough to finish them off.

After several bitter battles, Zhuge Qing's Magic Treasure, the Moonlight Wheel, had suffered heavy damage, and its power could only reach sixty percent of its original state. Han Liang had forcibly blocked a strike from the "Refining Fire Twin Beauties"; he looked fine on the surface, but he had actually suffered internal injuries. As for Zhang Nuo, he had launched three powerful attacks, his internal Spirit Power was almost completely exhausted, and coupled with his low cultivation, he was simply nothing to fear!

And although Nangong Ao and Ding Fu had not suffered any injuries, with their strength, it was impossible for them to defeat the Corpse Refining.

On the surface, it looked like Tie Lin had been injured by the attack, but Zhuge Qing knew in her heart that if the other side had not left and had instead turned back, none of them would have survived!

Tie Lin should have been aware of this situation, but why did Gu Yu take Tie Lin away instead of bringing him to a safe place to wait for the ice-cold power to melt before returning to continue the battle?

Everything left Zhuge Qing's head unable to make sense of it. While everyone else was cheering, she walked quietly to Zhang Nuo's side!

Zhang Nuo was also wearing a gloomy expression, as if he had also guessed the mystery within! Seeing the young girl walk over, he smiled lightly, after which he said nothing and returned quietly to the small hill.
