Chapter 207: Pyrrhic Victory

"Hehe, exert dog-and-horse effort for a madman like me?

That's fine, but I don't accept useless subordinates. If you two can kill the three Four Symbols Sect disciples opposite, I will accept you.

How about it, can you do it?" The blurred shadow on the rock chuckled and asked the couple in front of him.

"Three mere Four Symbols Sect inner sect disciples, of course, no problem.

Leave these three to my husband and me. Please wait a moment, Brother Zhu." Hearing this, the gray-white-robed man swept his gaze over Li Tianqi and the other two opposite and said slowly.

The woman beside him, seeing this, directly inserted the black coffin on her back into the ground in front of her and pinched a spell with one hand to pat the coffin.

"Bang."

The coffin lid opened slowly, and a fishy, foul odor rolled out from inside. A black zombie wrapped in bandages all over its body jumped out straight.

Although this zombie's body was shriveled, from the wooden hairpin inserted in the sparse yellow hair on its head and its slender figure, one could still see that it was a young woman before she died.

"Your Excellency's strength is astonishing. I admit I am no match, but Meng still wants to ask one thing: if the three of us kill the two of them, will Your Excellency let the three of us leave?" The tall man holding the silver halberd looked at the couple opposite, then looked at the blurred shadow on the rock, and said in a deep voice.

The black robe on his body had the logo of the Xuanwu lineage; it was exactly that Brother Meng who had met Wang Yu once outside the Scripture Pavilion that day. The petite woman beside him was also the female disciple who accompanied him that day.

Li Tianqi had coincidentally ended up with these two after entering the Jialan Secret Realm this time.

"If you can counter-kill the two of them, I will naturally treat you all equally and spare the three of you as well." The blurred shadow on the rock chuckled and replied without hesitation.

"Good, Liu Shimei Li, Liu Shimei Yun, it seems we have to fight for our lives this time.

I haven't seen these two opposite before, but their appearance is so special, and they are a couple. They should be the Yin-Yang Corpse Sha ranked in the top ten among the Demon Luo Sect's inner sect disciples. I heard that this couple is skilled in corpse-driving techniques, and after joining forces, their strength is not below that of ordinary demonic path true disciples.

When we start fighting in a moment, I will deal with the Yang Sha, and you two will deal with the Yin Sha together. Try your best to separate these two." After Brother Meng finished listening, he immediately transmitted his voice to the two women beside him.

Li Tianqi and the other woman, although still full of fear for the blurred shadow on the rock, felt slightly relieved after hearing what this Brother Meng, who was close to the Qi Refinement Great Completion, said, and nodded to the man at the same time.

At this time, the gray-white-robed man opposite had already looked over with a ferocious expression. His gaze happened to meet Brother Meng's. After a cold smile flashed in his eyes, he suddenly shook his shoulders, and the black coffin on his back actually flew into the sky automatically, circled at a low altitude, and then smashed fiercely toward Brother Meng.

Brother Meng shouted loudly. After a violent wind rolled over his body, a layer of pale green light emanated from his body surface. The rope knot binding his hair instantly collapsed and shattered. His hair grew wildly, black hair grew out of his body, his two eyeballs turned blood-red, several long tusks grew out of his mouth, and he struck the black coffin pressing down with the silver halberd in his hand.

"Bang."

The black coffin was actually knocked flying by the silver halberd.

The gray-white-robed man opposite was startled by this, but without thinking too much, he pinched a spell with both hands.

"Boom."

The black coffin exploded directly in mid-air. Amidst countless fragments splashing, a black, tall figure rushed down like a ghost.

It was exactly a giant zombie about a zhang high, wearing a layer of black iron armor all over its body. Its facial features were all shrouded in black Qi, but the arms exposed outside the iron armor were all covered in pale green fluff, looking incomparably ferocious.

In the blink of an eye, this giant zombie and Brother Meng, who had also transformed, started fighting.

After Brother Meng transformed, he seemed to have infinite strength. Wherever the silver halberd in his hand passed, it was like a violent wind rolling over, smashing the giant zombie until it retreated repeatedly. The black long hair that grew on its body surface also seemed to have extremely strong defensive power. Occasionally being hit by the zombie's iron fist, he only retreated two steps, and then rushed up again as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, Li Tianqi also patted the spiritual beast bag at her waist and released a green-feathered snake with wings. At the same time, the red short ruler in her hand spun around, actually conjuring a blurred red wheel phantom in front of her.

The next moment, eleven red spiritual pattern phantoms appeared on the surface of the wheel. After trembling slightly, a bowl-thick red fire pillar sprayed out from it, smashing fiercely toward the other female zombie rushing over, wanting to turn it into ashes.

But the gray-white-robed woman opposite snorted coldly, pinched a spell with one hand, and the female zombie opened its mouth and sprayed a fishy, green water pillar, which hit the fire pillar exactly.

"Sizzle" sounds rose loudly.

That green liquid didn't know what it was. As soon as it touched the fire pillar, it emitted rolling white smoke, actually forcing the fire pillar to retreat step by step.

Li Tianqi's expression changed slightly. The feathered snake beside her opened its large mouth and sprayed out a vast, white violent wind, causing the momentum of the fire pillar to rise sharply for a time, only then barely resisting the green water pillar.

The petite woman nearby saw this, muttered incantations, and after tossing the white alms bowl in her hand high into the air, a series of pale gray light rings flew out from it, directly looping toward the gray-white robed woman opposite.

The gray-white-robed woman shouted, flipped one hand, and a black silk handkerchief appeared in her hand. She tossed it toward the high sky as well, and it turned into layers of black light curtains, rolling toward the top...

The five people thus each activated their artifacts in a life-and-death struggle.

The blurred shadow stood on the rock with arms crossed, watching all this without any emotion, seemingly indifferent to which side won.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Yin-Yang Corpse Sha couple had become two fresh corpses, one curled into a ball, charred black all over and unrecognizable, and one with its head forcibly chopped off, lying on the ground covered in blood.

And those two zombies, one had more than half of its body missing, seemingly forcibly split by someone from the shoulder, and one directly turned into a cloud of faint black shadow on the ground, burned to ashes.

Li Tianqi was half-kneeling on the ground. On the surface, she didn't seem to have received any damage, but her face was incomparably pale, without a drop of blood, and a thick black Qi was shrouded between her eyebrows. And that feathered snake, which she regarded as her life, was lying on the nearby ground motionless, its upper half including its head all missing.

Brother Meng had already lifted his transformation, but he was covered in blood, covered in wounds of various sizes, and even one arm was gone. The silver halberd was only half left, stuck in the nearby ground.

But he used his only remaining arm to hold tightly the corpse of the petite woman in his arms, who had also turned cold.

The feather garment on the corpse had become tattered, but there was a bowl-sized bloody hole in the chest, which had clearly long since drained the blood.

This battle was actually a Pyrrhic victory for Li Tianqi's side, but it also cost the life of the petite woman, and the other two were also seriously injured, with no strength to fight again. ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
