Chapter 74 Foundation Establishment and Corpse Refining
Chapter 74 Foundation Establishment and Corpse Refining
"Young friends, my feud with this little bastard is a family feud, and it has nothing to do with you. If you leave now, my Yan family will owe you a favor," Yan Mingyu said to Xiao Ming and the others.
However, the people present remained unmoved by these words. Compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, what did the Yan family's favor amount to?
Upon seeing this, Yan Mingyu's heart sank. "Have you all thought carefully about the consequences of offending a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"Words are useless, let's fight." Wu Yun gripped his silver spear, unleashing the power of thunder and fire to condense a phantom of a thunder dragon, which roared as it pounced towards Yan Mingyu.
Yuan Hong concentrated his magical power, and an astonishing chill permeated his body, condensing into huge ice spikes.
The youngest, Lin Tianrui, was the most astonishing. As he channeled his spiritual power, the golden sword behind him was drawn, radiating a dazzling golden light and exuding an imposing sword aura.
This is actually a high-grade spirit sword.
Yan Mingyu was already suffering from a severe poison, and with Yan Shaoyu as a burden, he found himself struggling to cope with the combined attack of the three.
"Die, all of you!" Yan Mingyu flicked his sleeve, and a silver-white mirror flew into the air, reflecting the sunlight. Suddenly, dozens of light blades condensed on the mirror's surface and slashed towards the crowd.
Yuan Hong immediately stepped in front of the crowd, his hand gathering cold energy, and slammed it hard on the ground.
In an instant, huge blocks of ice rose from the ground and piled up layer by layer to form a small mountain.
The sword light condensed on the mirror surface was even more terrifying, like a sharp, yang blade, piercing the iceberg with countless holes, causing it to collapse continuously.
But then a tortoise-shell shield rose up again, blocking the remaining sword light.
"Watch this, Ice Blast!" Yuan Hong slapped the remaining iceberg with his palm, and instantly the remaining iceberg completely shattered, turning into an extremely cold storm mixed with countless ice spikes, sweeping forward.
Faced with this wide-ranging ice magic, Yan Mingyu no longer dodged, but looked at Yan Shaoyu in his arms, his eyes revealing intense sorrow.
As his magical power continued to deplete, his strength was no longer sufficient to suppress the Gu poison on both of them at the same time. If this continued, both of them would be worn down to death.
"My son." Looking at Yan Shaoyu's face full of pain, Yan Mingyu trembled and reached out, pointing a finger at his son's forehead, killing his son with his own hands.
A freezing storm swept in, encasing Yan Mingyu within it.
"Compared to the Foundation Establishment deacons of the sect, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are still far inferior in strength." Yuan Hong laughed and immediately seized the opportunity to rush over, about to smash the ice block with a single palm.
However, at that moment, the huge block of ice suddenly shattered, creating a large hole, and a foul-smelling figure covered in green hair rushed out. Yuan Hong was unable to dodge in time and was bitten on the arm.
Blood splattered instantly as the monster ripped Yuan Hong's arm off with brute force. It bit the arm, sucking the blood, and then pounced on Yuan Hong, seemingly wanting to devour him alive.
"Everyone be careful, this is a corpse refiner with Foundation Establishment strength." Wu Yun stepped in front of Yuan Hong in time and thrust out with all his might, but it was as if he had hit steel and could not advance an inch.
Wu Yun's face darkened, and he immediately poured all his magical power into the silver spear. Instantly, the power of thunder and fire erupted and poured onto the terrifying corpse.
Lightning and fire are both extremely lethal to the corpse-refining technique, but there is a difference in their levels of power. This corpse-refining technique actually withstood the power of the lightning and fire, and its hands gripped the silver spear tightly.
"Senior Brother Wu, I'm here to help you." Lin Tianrui controlled his flying sword, which drew a golden arc in the sky and slashed towards the neck of the corpse.
However, to everyone's surprise, another monster figure emanating black malevolent energy appeared, blocking the golden flying sword with its body.
There was even a Foundation Establishment level refining corpse.
At the same time, the green-haired zombie suddenly opened its mouth, and its tongue stretched out like a spear, piercing towards Wu Yun's heart.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yun's expression changed, and he hurriedly moved to the side, barely avoiding a fatal blow, but his right chest was pierced.
The green-haired zombie flung away the Thunderfire Spear and used its hand as a claw to aim at Wu Yun's heart.
"Senior Brother Wu!" Lin Tianrui shouted urgently.
"Thump!"
A golden bowl suddenly hovered above Wu Yun's head, radiating a warm and soft golden light, which the green-haired corpse found extremely repulsive and refused to approach.
"Heavenly Thunder Talisman!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Ming threw out two purple talismans.
Suddenly, thunder roared, and two bolts of lightning struck the two corpses, scorching them to a crisp.
Unfortunately, although the Heavenly Thunder Talisman was powerful, it was still not enough to severely injure a Foundation Establishment level corpse refiner.
Xiao Ming appeared behind Wu Yun and Yuan Hong, grabbing them and pulling them back under the golden bowl.
The two corpses, injured by the heavenly lightning and unwilling to approach the golden bowl's light, became agitated and charged towards Yan Mingyu.
However, Yan Mingyu was prepared. He could see that Yan Shaoyu had no breath left and there was a bloody hole in his chest. In Yan Mingyu's hand, there was a ball of essence blood, which contained the flesh and blood essence of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
As he made hand seals and chanted incantations, the mass of essence blood split into two parts, each condensing into an ancient rune, which shot towards the foreheads of the two corpses.
As soon as the crimson rune entered the forehead of the corpse, the two bloodthirsty monsters immediately quieted down and obediently stopped in front of Yan Mingyu. The green fur and black aura on their bodies also subsided considerably, revealing their original appearance.
Yan Yuxue was also surprised when she saw what the two people looked like.
"Old dog Yan, you really went too far. It's one thing to refine the corpse of that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Du family, but you even went so far as to destroy the corpse of your own father. You are indeed an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust old beast."
"Well said!" Yan Mingyu laughed heartily.
"It's a pity that your grandfather self-destructed back then, otherwise, the corpse of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator could have been used for corpse refining, and perhaps a bronze-armored corpse could have been created."
Hearing Yan Mingyu's provocative words, Yan Yuxue was not angered. Looking at the two Foundation Establishment corpses, her heart sank to the bottom.
"A green zombie and a mutated Yin Sha corpse are both capable of contending with ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivators. It seems you miscalculated this time, Yan girl." A lazy woman's voice suddenly rang in Yan Yuxue's mind.
"Senior, do you have any ideas?"
"Little girl, now you know to call me senior." Zi Meng Yuanjun's tone was somewhat amused.
"Please give me your guidance, senior. I will always remember this kindness," Yan Yuxue said sincerely.
"If it really comes down to a fight, you're no match for him. However, this guy's corpse-refining technique is too rudimentary; he can't perfectly control these two corpses. Just leave them like this for now..."
After a brief moment of distraction, Yan Yuxue looked at the crowd.
Wu Yun and Yuan Hong were both severely injured and infected with corpse poison. They were currently meditating to heal their wounds. Only Xiao Ming and Lin Tianrui were able to fight.
"Senior Brother Xiao, Junior Brother Lin, this old dog is currently suffering from a deadly poison and is forcibly controlling two Foundation Establishment corpses. His magical power is definitely about to be exhausted. I have a secret technique that can temporarily strip him of control over these two Foundation Establishment corpses. At that time, you two can go all out and surely kill this old ghost in one fell swoop."
"That sounds feasible. Are there any requirements for you to perform this secret technique?" Xiao Ming asked.
"I only need the two of you to buy me ten breaths." Yan Yuxue took out the Myriad Soul Banner, bit her tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and was about to begin casting the spell.
"Ten breaths might be worth a try." Xiao Ming held a talisman in his sleeve.
"Senior Sister Yan, leave it to us." Lin Tianrui clenched his fist, his tone extremely firm.
