Chapter 185: The Barbarian General

Seeing the demonic beast charging toward him, Han Liang dared not take the opponent's blow head-on; his figure retreated rapidly, and at the same time, the great halberd in his hand struck out once more, solely to obstruct the attack speed of the barbarian general.

Gu Yu, standing to one side, saw that the attacks from Zhang Nuo and Han Liang were of no use against this demonic beast, and a look of horror flashed within the small eyes beneath his black robe.

"Go!"

Speaking in a voice so low it was almost inaudible, he watched as the Blood Corpse beside him moved and lunged toward the barbarian general, while ten bone spikes rapidly grew from the tips of its ten fingers.

Having just swatted away Han Liang's Square Heaven Painted Halberd with a palm, the demonic beast felt something lunging at it; without even turning its head, it flicked its yard-long tail, directly intercepting the Blood Corpse, then suddenly turned around, the barbarian general opened its large mouth, and a gray beam of light sprayed out, aimed directly at the Blood Corpse!

With a loud 'Boom', the upper half of the Blood Corpse was almost blasted to pieces; the moment blood sprayed, the lower half of its body plummeted to the ground.

Gu Yu's heart ached so much he nearly cried out; his flying magic tool flashed beneath his feet, and he landed directly beside the Blood Corpse. After checking the situation, he slapped his storage bag with one hand, and a pitch-black coffin flashed out from within. The coffin lid opened, and Gu Yu reached out and threw the remaining half of the Blood Corpse inside.

The next moment, a bizarre scene appeared: the coffin was full of 'Blood Guiding Insects'. As these insects twisted and shifted, within a few breaths, the Blood Corpse in the coffin stood up once again.

As if it had never been severely injured, the Blood Corpse flashed and charged back into the high sky; this time, even the barbarian general let out a cry of surprise—the recovery speed of this corpse was too fast.

Zhang Nuo and Han Liang watched everything happening below from mid-air and finally understood why, at the Tianjiang Trade Fair, Zhang Nuo had hacked the Blood Corpse into mincemeat, yet Gu Yu still insisted on fleeing while clutching the remaining metal trousers. It turned out that by using the 'Blood Guiding Insects' in the black coffin, it was possible to rebuild the physical body of the Blood Corpse.

No wonder Gu Yu could always run rampant on the Tianjiang Plain; even when pursued by over a dozen cultivators of the same rank last time, he could still escape safely—it turned out this was his secret!

With a long howl of 'Awoo', the Blood Corpse acted as if it had gone mad; the snow-white bone spikes at its fingertips bloomed with a ghostly blue light, specifically targeting the barbarian general's weakest points, all to pierce its skin and flesh and let the toxins on the bone spikes enter its body.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate; he pointed repeatedly at the flying swords beside him, and immediately nine flying swords streaked across the sky like meteors, coordinating with the corpse to attack it.

Since Han Liang came from a background of Body Refining, this kind of close-quarters combat was most suitable for him, but facing the demonic beast's formidable body, he dared not rush up rashly; even if he were conceited about his own body, he was not so conceited as to think he could clash head-on with the barbarian general.

Standing near the Black Giant Gate, Du Yuntang's face was full of smugness. These three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators each possessed a not-so-weak divine ability; if he had to act personally, it really wouldn't be easy to handle! Now with the barbarian general, it saved him quite a bit of effort.

Zhang Nuo, while controlling the flying swords, pondered how to deal with the demonic beast. This beast's body was terrifyingly tough; given the sharpness of the flying swords within the Nine Dragon Sword Case, they couldn't even injure it!

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Du Yuntang. He saw this old thing sneering as he watched them; in a great battle against a Sixth-Rank demonic beast, Zhang Nuo and the others had no hope of winning, and their fall was only a matter of time.

With a sudden shift in his thoughts, since they couldn't beat the barbarian general, they could only strike at the old fellow Du Yuntang. His lips moved slightly, and Zhang Nuo transmitted his voice to Han Liang.

"Find an opportunity to strike at that old thing!"

Upon hearing this, Han Liang remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he admired Zhang Nuo's keenness. This demonic beast was summoned by Du Yuntang; if he were killed, the beast might walk back into the Black Giant Gate.

"Boom!"

A blast echoed; the Blood Corpse of Gu Yu, being careless, was struck head-on by the barbarian general once again, and the corpse fell from the high sky! Gu Yu acted quickly, rushing over with the black coffin, and before the corpse could hit the ground, he caught it inside the coffin.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse was revived again and leaped into the sky, but this time, there were clearly still 'Blood Guiding Insects' wriggling on the corpse's body, looking extremely terrifying. Perhaps because it was too hurried, some parts had not been fully repaired, leaving a large portion of muscle exposed.

"Let's see how many times you can repair yourself!"

Facing the terrifying repair speed of Gu Yu's corpse, Du Yuntang felt an itch in his teeth from hatred; if it weren't for this corpse clinging to the barbarian general like a maggot on a tarsal bone, Zhang Nuo and Han Liang would have long since fallen by its hands.

Just at this moment, one of Zhang Nuo's flying swords was suddenly swatted away by the barbarian general, and the direction was heading straight for Du Yuntang. His Divine Sense quickly captured the trajectory of the flying sword, and a burst of wild joy surged in Zhang Nuo's heart.

"Old fellow, the opportunity is here!"

After cursing in a low voice, Zhang Nuo did not recall the flying sword, letting it drift toward Du Yuntang's direction. Just when the distance between the two was less than twenty zhang, he gave a low shout, his hand seals exploded, and the flying sword heading toward Du Yuntang suddenly flashed with white light.

A dragon's roar issued from within the flying sword, and after a few transformations, it turned into a Silver Dragon, baring fangs and brandishing claws as it lunged at Du Yuntang.

Everything happened quite naturally. Du Yuntang, standing by the Black Giant Gate, had no defense against this move from Zhang Nuo, and the speed of the Silver Dragon was shockingly fast; in just a flash, it was right before him.

"You dare to ambush me!"

Du Yuntang was so angry his lungs were about to explode; he hurriedly flashed his figure, dodging the giant dragon's attack. The Silver Dragon whistled past him; if his body had been a moment slower, he would have been hit.

However, the next moment, before he could steady himself, a fierce gale came from beneath his body. He saw that Han Liang had arrived below him at some point, his great halberd pointing to the sky, flying toward him in a thrust.

"If I don't kill you lot today, I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Du Yuntang was flushed red with anger, but now he had no time to think; his body was wrapped in escape light, turning into a black rainbow and flying dozens of zhang away. However, what depressed him was that the Silver Dragon, which had transformed from Zhang Nuo's flying sword, circled in mid-air and flew behind him again.

After a faint dragon's roar, the giant dragon charged over like a lightning bolt! Du Yuntang was truly furious; being ambushed by two juniors in succession had nearly cost him his old life.

Turning around and flicking his sleeve, he cast out a large black net, which happened to shroud the Silver Dragon within it. At the same time, strands of Demonic Qi radiated from the black net, and in just a few moments, it knocked the spirit-manifested flying sword back to its original form!

Zhang Nuo was not angry at all; instead, he gave a bizarre smile, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
