Chapter 223

"Floating Corpse Cave! It's the Floating Corpse Cave that's in trouble!"

The Great Elder of the Jiang family, a corpse-driving artisan in Xiangzhou, stood up abruptly and then shouted continuously in the darkness.

"Disaster! It's a disaster!"

Another elder heard him say this and couldn't help but sigh, feeling as if the sky were about to collapse.

Although the inheritance they obtained was incomplete, they vaguely knew that the Floating Corpse Cave was related to the Corpse King Sect, a powerful sect that had once dominated the Southwest during the previous dynasty.

Ordinary people might not have heard of the Corpse Lord's fame, but how could they, as elders of a great clan, not have heard of it?

But it was precisely because they knew that they felt how terrifying the other party was...

"Quick, quick! Hurry to the Yinjian and find your Third Aunt! The only way now is to hide in the Yinjian to avoid disaster; if the Corpse Lord comes into the world, the entire family will suffer!"

After a brief panic, the Great Elder, Jiang Qingsong, quickly calmed down and immediately issued orders to the younger generation of the family!

"Yes!"

Likewise, Lu Daoguang, who had just returned to the family from the Yinjian not long ago, was also startled by this sudden illusion.

The previous deep darkness was all too familiar to him, so he wasn't worried at all, and even felt a bit secretly happy in his heart.

Because as long as that Lord occupied Xiangzhou, for them, the Yin-Walkers, it would be no different from returning home in glory!

So just now, not only was he not panicked, but he spoke confidently to his nephews, younger generations, and other clansmen about his experiences in the Yinjian, telling them not to be afraid, as following him would surely bring them endless glory and wealth in the future!

But the illusion appearing in their minds at this moment was not the heroic posture of that Lord...

"S-s-second Uncle, c-c-could it be, is this, that L-l-lord from the Yinjian?"

At this time, a younger generation member beside him asked him in an extremely dry voice.

"Nonsense! Didn't I tell you! That Lord is covered from head to toe in a suit of precious armor; how could he be shirtless like this!"

Lu Daoguang scolded him angrily; although he had never seen Lin Feng's true face, he could distinguish that completely different might.

"Ah! T-t-then S-s-second Uncle, w-w-what should w-w-we do?"

"Yes, yes, yes, S-s-second Uncle, s-s-should we hide?"

"I-I also think we should, should hide!"

"..."

Subsequently, the others also spoke to Lu Daoguang, trembling with fear; their courage was about the same as other Yin-Walkers, and their first reaction to anything was to hide first.

"Bah! That Lord has already made a move, what are you panicking about!"

"Rest assured, that Lord will definitely beat the sh*t out of this guy!"

Lu Daoguang didn't know if he was convincing the others or himself, but he knew that if even that Lord couldn't solve the other party, then no matter what they, these small fries who couldn't make it to the big stage, did, they couldn't change their own fate.

——————

The Corpse Lord's coffin was finally opened; at this time, the Tanshi Gui still wanted to continue eating the other members of the Corpse King Sect.

But a hand reached out from inside the coffin and slapped toward the Tanshi Gui's position, and instantly, a certain tyrannical and peerless power surged directly toward the Tanshi Gui.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a large number of Tanshi Gui clones were forcibly scattered by this terrifying power; they had originally been condensed from black mist, and now they turned back into black mist.

The Tanshi Gui's main body was also slapped away, but it was not significantly affected; as it regained its footing, it let out a roar of "Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!" from its mouth.

Immediately, a large number of clones condensed and formed again; as a Calamity Gui, because the Tanshi Gui had devoured too many Guiyi, it wouldn't care about any loss at all.

"Hmm, it is indeed a special Calamity Gui, but for just such a Calamity Gui to be able to turn this place upside down, you lot are truly trash!"

At this time, the Corpse Lord slowly rose from the coffin; his appearance was just like in the illusion.

He appeared to have a near-perfect physique, black hair like a waterfall, and was exceptionally handsome, only exuding a certain strange, evil Qi from head to toe.

Especially his eyes, which were like some kind of cold, terrifying monster, making anyone afraid to look him in the eye.

"R-r-reporting to the Corpse Lord, it is not just this Calamity Gui, there are other Disaster Gui! There must be someone behind this controlling it!"

The only surviving Corpse King Sect elder heard the Corpse Lord speak with dissatisfaction and hurriedly knelt on the ground to answer.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who haven't forgotten me? Do you miss me that much?"

The Corpse Lord didn't care about his words, and didn't even pay much attention to the Tanshi Gui, which was attacking him again.

"Die! Die! Die!"

In the darkness, countless Tanshi Gui clones simultaneously issued their strongest mortal curse toward the Corpse Lord!

Several surviving Corpse King Sect disciples kneeling around the Corpse Lord were also affected and fell to the ground dead instantly; even that elder used up several life-substitution treasures in succession.

However, the Corpse Lord didn't seem to care much about this mortal curse, but instead reached out directly to grab the Tanshi Gui's main body.

It was just that the Tanshi Gui's speed was too fast, and the other party didn't succeed; only a few clones were blasted apart.

"Hungry! Eat! Eat!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Stop! Stop!"

Seeing that the Corpse Lord could resist the mortal curse without any damage, the Tanshi Gui immediately changed to another method.

In the darkness, thousands of clones opened their mouths in unison; those voices, mixed with men, women, old, and young, merged into one, and invisible giant mouths appeared out of thin air, continuously gnawing frantically on the Corpse Lord's body.

The Corpse Lord's near-perfect body was also frantically gnawed by the Tanshi Gui during this process; before long, it became bloody and mangled, becoming like a blood-person without skin!

"You are indeed insatiable, but is the flesh and blood of a God-Man really so easy to digest?"

However, even after becoming like this, the Corpse Lord still locked onto the Tanshi Gui's main body; his voice remained cold, seemingly unchanged from before.

But strangely, the Tanshi Gui, which was always unsatisfied and filled with endless hunger, was now eating less and less.

"Die!"

Just as the Tanshi Gui's speed slowed down, the Corpse Lord suddenly made a move; immediately, white bones appeared out of thin air to form a cage, flesh and blood turned into the most filthy and deadly corpse water, and countless hairs pierced deeply into every part of the Tanshi Gui to trap it firmly.

The entire Corpse Mountain cavern had become a strange world composed purely of flesh, bone, and hair at some unknown point.

It looked somewhat like a ghost domain, but it was far more real than a ghost domain; these flesh, bones, and hairs seemed to exist for real.

Clearly, it wasn't that the Corpse Lord hadn't had any reaction before, but that he had used the Tanshi Gui's characteristics to force it into a trap step by step without the Tanshi Gui noticing!
