Originally, everyone was prepared to leave empty-handed, but unexpectedly, the Bald Ghost Corpse King brought out a powerful Xuan Artifact.
However, there was only one precious prize, and who it would ultimately belong to depended on skill.
Everyone eyed it eagerly, but Chen Yu was sowhat indifferent, considering he already had the [Heavenly Yin Soul Pen] and the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown].
If he had the chance to acquire this bow, he wouldn’t just hand it over. Even if he didn’t use bow weapons, he could trade it for abundant cultivation resources.
Bang! Whiz!
The Bald Ghost Corpse King released the bowstring, and an eerie black arrow shot through the void, heading toward Zuo Zhushan’s team.
Previously, people were only sowhat wary of the Bald Ghost Corpse King, but now that he wielded a powerful Xuan Artifact, everyone felt the crisis.
In this situation, Zuo Zhushan, Chen Yu, and others imdiately joined forces, even revealing so of their trump cards.
After Chen Yu unleashed a claw strike, he focused all his energy on defense.
Zuo Zhushan’s Xuan Artifact Sword emitted a shocking Sword Intent, carving out a brilliant green sword light that struck the arrow gleam.
Poom!
In an instant, the eerie black arrow light shattered the green sword glow, but its power was slightly reduced.
The group went all out in defense, forming a wall of primordial force.
Bang! Boom!
The wall of primordial force was struck and instantly demolished, sending everyone flying back.
Chen Yu and Zuo Zhushan halted after retreating a hundred steps, suffering slight injuries, while Pan Peng, Lin Tianfeng, and others crashed into the rear wall, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Bald Ghost Corpse King, wielding the powerful Xuan Artifact, was challenging to withstand for just one squad.
The reason was also that everyone was holding back; if they had all gone all out, they wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
On the other side, the Frost Hall team launched a stealth attack from behind against the Bald Ghost Corpse King.
Heavenly Frost Finger!
Yan Su unleashed a fierce and powerful finger technique, the freezing light pillar striking the Corpse King’s wound, freezing everything upon contact.
The others also began deploying their lethal moves.
The disciples of Frost Hall, most of whom practiced the Ice Dao, posed a certain restraint and impedint to the Corpse King’s actions.
"Hiss... courting death!"
The Bald Ghost Corpse King roared in pain and drew the bowstring again.
This ti, a massive light beam ford on the large bow, aiming upwards.
"Is this guy trying to bring this place down, dragging us to our doom with him?"
Pan Peng exclaid in shock.
In fact, even if it collapsed, they wouldn’t die—though the ensuing chaos was not what anyone wanted.
Swish...
The arrow light flew upward, but it didn’t pierce the ceiling. Instead, it split into countless tiny eerie black arrows mid-air, like a misty rain, enveloped in a deathly aura, spreading in all directions.
The bow could also perform a ranged assault.
"Retreat."
Lin Tianfeng shouted.
The arrow light filled the air, and soone of his strength couldn’t afford to simply resist it.
Zing! Zing!
The female disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect was struck by two arrows, one in the shoulder and one in the thigh, the wounds filled with corpse poison.
For Chen Yu, a body cultivator adept at defense, it wasn’t much. His real fear was the first arrow; this one had scattered the attack, reducing its threat. With his defensive power and the Star Pattern Robe, being hit by the arrows was no big deal.
"We must end this swiftly."
Zuo Zhushan suggested.
Chen Yu nodded.
If they let the Bald Ghost Corpse King continue exhausting them, massive casualties might occur, making it harder to kill the Corpse King later.
Swish!
Zuo Zhushan’s long sword flew out, drawing a splendid eerie green sword light. The fierce Sword Qi surged around, leaving countless sword marks.
Swish! Poof!
The sword hit the throat of the Bald Ghost Corpse King, creating a gaping wound, but the opponent still didn’t die.
Corpse Kings have exceptionally high defensive power and survival abilities; what may be a fatal blow to ordinary ones doesn’t work on them at all.
Star Splitting Claw!
Chen Yu slashed out with his claw, a golden white crescent cleaving everything before it, hitting the Bald Ghost Corpse King’s head and leaving a bloody wound.
"Ice Frost over Heaven!"
Yan Su shouted, and a black ice vortex appeared above the Corpse King, a finger descended with the cold of freezing everything, crushing down.
The Corpse King was struck by the finger, its body encased in ice, movents slowing once again.
Everyone began to pull out powerful ans, lest they suffer an unexpected turn.
"Kill!"
The nine launched a ferocious attack again, surrounding the Corpse King with attacks from all sides, leaving nurous scars.
In monts, the Bald Ghost Corpse King’s body was riddled with wounds, its aura growing weak and nearing death.
Yet at this mont, everyone beca cautious, wary of the Corpse King’s potential death throes.
"Brother Yan, the Corpse King will soon be worn out by us, but there’s only one Xuan Artifact. What will we do then?"
A Frost Hall disciple asked Yan Su through telepathy.
In terms of combat power, they were now inferior to the five Heavenly Martial Sect disciples.
Just Chen Yu alone had defeated Yan Su, and now they had the Five-star King Zuo Zhushan.
"Hehe, indeed, the Heavenly Martial Sect’s team is strong, and for that reason, they are more likely to be targeted by the Corpse King’s final counterattack. We’ll be cautious and seize the bow, then escape."
Yan Su calmly replied via telepathy.
Acquiring a Human Soul Fruit and this bow was enough for him; greed often leads to a quick end.
"If I go down, I’m taking you with !"
The Bald Ghost Corpse King suddenly roared, its corpse aura spreading.
Clearly nearing death, the Corpse King unexpectedly let out an excited roar, its power surging—this was an evident lethal retaliation.
Swoosh swoosh...
Almost simultaneously, everyone retreated, but not too far, as leaving too far would an giving up on the treasure.
Chen Yu remained calm and composed; with his defensive power, there was nothing to worry about.
Moreover, he had beco adept in terms of speed, giving him a fair chance of obtaining that Xuan Artifact.
Everyone prepared their defenses, ready to face the final counterattack of the Bald Ghost Corpse King.
But at this mont...
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four streaks of light flew in from the entrance, humanoid in shape, each varying in appearance, their bodies entirely tallic.
chanical puppets!
The sudden appearance of these chanical puppets drew everyone’s attention.
Clearly, these puppets belonged to a third-party force, which they hadn’t noticed before.
Boom!
The palms of the four chanical puppets glowed with a yellow halo, releasing stored energy in an instant, transforming into eight dazzling yellow beams.
The targets of the chanical puppets’ attack were not the Bald Ghost Corpse King, but the humans present.
Simultaneously, the Bald Ghost Corpse King’s final counterattack struck, with his bow releasing a flurry of dark arrow shadows sweeping in all directions.
"Not good!"
"Retreat quickly!"
Rumbling!
The sound of explosions drowned out the screams, followed by chilling cries of pain.
Pan Peng and Lin Tianfeng each took several arrows, blood trickling from their lips, while the female disciple was beyond recognition, blood splattering everywhere.
Zuo Zhushan’s face turned pale, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, while Chen Yu’s Star Pattern Robe was tattered, his body suffering external injuries, yet quickly self-repairing.
On the other side, the situation was even worse for the four from Frost Hall.
Two were dead, one severely injured, Yan Su also suffering serious injuries, with blood flowing from his forehead.
Who could it be?
Yan Su’s expression was cold and ruthless.
This third party is truly despicable, launching a surprise attack at this final juncture, causing significant losses.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, the Ghost Corpse King let out a cry of pain.
Everyone imdiately looked and found a girl-like chanical puppet atop the Ghost Corpse King’s head, unleashing a green fla that ignited his entire body.
This green fla had a powerful restraining effect on the Ghost Corpse King, charring him completely in less than a breath, causing him to collapse to the ground.
The blue bow in the Ghost Corpse King’s hand flew up, about to fall into the girl puppet’s hands.
Swoosh...
Chen Yu, Zuo Zhushan, Yan Su, and Pan Peng imdiately dashed out.
The others were too severely injured; only they had the strength to compete.
Among them, Pan Peng was the slowest, Yan Su slightly more injured, with Chen Yu and Zuo Zhushan standing out.
"This person possesses the Four-level Half Space Profound aning and has the divine skill of short-distance teleportation. Unless I reveal my identity, otherwise..."
Zuo Zhushan was conflicted inside.
In the end, he gave up; how could his identity be easily exposed?
Swish!
Behind Chen Yu, a pair of blood-red fire wings spread, transforming him into a crimson streak as he flashed beside the girl chanical puppet.
Boom hiss hiss!
Five brilliant golden-red streaks of light erupted, striking the girl chanical puppet.
The girl chanical puppet hadn’t expected Chen Yu to be so fast and imdiately mounted a defense, palm outstretched, releasing imnse energy to form an arc-shaped barrier.
Chen Yu then swiftly flew toward the big bow, grasping it.
"Stealing soone’s item? You go die!"
The girl chanical puppet angrily scolded, looking just like a little girl.
However, at this mont, this girl exuded a very dangerous aura, with energy fluctuations that caused Zuo Zhushan’s face to slightly darken.
Boom!
The girl chanical puppet swiped her hand, releasing a dazzling green fla wave.
"A Five-star King-level chanical puppet!"
Chen Yu’s wings flapped as he flew backward swiftly, narrowly avoiding the girl chanical puppet’s attack.
The four puppets below attacked everyone upon appearing, drawing most people’s attention, but the most powerful puppet was actually this girl. She killed the Ghost Corpse King and intended to snatch the Xuan Artifact but was preempted by Chen Yu.
"Heh, only causing this level of casualties, your strength is quite not weak."
The girl chanical puppet suddenly cald, emitting a human-like voice.
"Just now was the chanical puppets’ own will; now it’s the voice of the one controlling them..."
Chen Yu stared at the girl chanical puppet, analyzing inwardly. .
"You have already killed a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect; prepare for their revenge."
Zuo Zhushan coldly stated. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel⸺fire
With the female disciple’s death, the soul token left at the Heavenly Martial Sect would shatter, prompting the Law Enforcent Team to arrive on the scene imdiately.
"The previous act was a misunderstanding, our target is not you, please step aside."
The girl chanical puppet said.
The disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect pondered, considering the third party’s true target.
They couldn’t help but look at the few from Frost Hall.
Yan Su’s expression beca exceedingly serious, black light flickering in his eyes.
"Human, you possess sothing belonging to my race, cooperate and co with us."
The girl chanical puppet focused on Yan Su.
Chen Yu, Zuo Zhushan, and others were confused; the enemy was after Yan Su. What on earth did he have that made the enemy willingly abandon the Xuan Artifact?
