At this mont, the Slaughter Corpse Formation that Ma Ling was using was sothing Yang Haoran had never seen or even heard of before. However, based on the literal aning, this formation should be specifically designed to counter zombies and possess trendous destructive power against them.
The fluctuation of power that Ma Ling was currently unleashing appeared ordinary to Yang Haoran, but the formation that had condensed above the corpse fiend's head had a formidable power fluctuation.
The formation is like that - once successfully deployed, it can unleash terrifying power. Ma Ling is an exorcist, and she has a decent understanding of formations. The formation she has set up is far more powerful than her own innate strength.
The corpse fiend, which was bound by Yang Haoran's chains, seed to have sensed the threat brought by the formation above its head, so it struggled even more violently, and its roars not only sounded angrier than before but also contained a hint of fear.
Corpse fiends, like corpse puppets, do not have their own thoughts. If they are controlled, they will act according to the commands of the controller. If they are not controlled, they will act based on their own instincts.
The fact that this corpse fiend was experiencing fear was a correct instinctive reaction to the perceived threat.
It turned out that the corpse fiend's instinctive sense of danger was correct. Before its roar had even subsided, the formation trembled slightly, and then a staggering number of Golden Swords condensed in a golden light. These Golden Swords, carrying a destructive aura, slashed through the void and rapidly descended towards the corpse fiend below.
The Golden Swords were similar to the ones Ma Ling had previously taken out, but this ti, they had no physical form and were completely condensed from power. Most of this power ca from the formation itself, not from Ma Ling. Ma Ling only needed to activate the formation, which consud a large amount of her own inner power.
The Golden Swords were extrely fast, reaching the airspace above the corpse fiend in an instant. Sensing the threat, the corpse fiend struggled even more violently, but all its efforts were in vain.
In the blink of an eye, the first batch of Golden Swords landed on the corpse fiend's body, piercing through its physical defenses and entering its body. However, due to the corpse fiend's sturdy physique, the Golden Swords could not penetrate its body completely and were stuck halfway.
After the first batch of Golden Swords hit the corpse fiend, they imdiately disappeared in a golden light, and the second batch of Golden Swords took their place, followed by the third batch.
Although the corpse fiend's physical body was sturdy, it could not withstand such a dense and high-frequency attack. In just a brief mont, its body had beco riddled with holes, and a large amount of gray-white corpse poison flowed out from the wounds, emitting a foul stench.
The power of the Slaughter Corpse Formation was indeed formidable. In just a few breaths, the corpse fiend below the formation had been completely devastated.
Seeing that the corpse fiend was no longer a significant threat, Ma Ling dispersed the Slaughter Corpse Formation, not wanting to waste more of her inner power by continuing the attack.
Although the Slaughter Corpse Formation was incredibly powerful, activating it consud a considerable amount of Ma Ling's inner power. After just a few breaths of using the formation, Ma Ling was already panting heavily, demonstrating how much it drained her.
Of course, with the remaining power within her, Ma Ling was confident she could completely destroy the corpse fiend. However, she did not do so, as this corpse fiend still had so value to her.
The Slaughter Corpse Formation above the corpse fiend shattered and transford into a golden light, which then condensed back into Golden Swords and flew back into Ma Ling's hand.
This Slaughter Corpse Formation seed to be a death formation, and the Golden Swords were the key to deploying it. Although Yang Haoran was not an expert in formations, he could still discern this much.
"Hehe, it went much smoother than I expected," Ma Ling said with a smile, taking a few deep breaths as she approached the location of the corpse fiend.
Yang Haoran smiled but did not say anything, following Ma Ling towards the corpse fiend.
The area where the corpse fiend was located had now beco a large pit, the result of Ma Ling's Slaughter Corpse Formation. Under the intense and powerful attacks of the formation, even the corpse fiend had been devastated, let alone the ground.
In the center of the pit, the corpse fiend was covered in gray-white corpse poison, struggling on the ground like an injured wild beast, emitting low and weak roars.
"Hmm, the chain is still intact, Uncle. Your current strength is impressive!" Ma Ling's gaze fell on the chain wrapped around the corpse fiend, and she expressed surprise on her face.
Ma Ling knew better than anyone how powerful her Slaughter Corpse Formation was. In her eyes, this formidable corpse fiend had been reduced to this state under her formation's onslaught, so the chain binding it should have been shattered as well. However, the chain was still wrapped around the corpse fiend, with its other end disappearing into the void, just as it had been initially.
It felt as if her Slaughter Corpse Formation had not affected Yang Haoran's Yin spirit power-based chain at all.
"It's not that my strength is particularly strong, but rather that my Yin spirit power is sowhat special. The chain can automatically repair itself when it's damaged," Yang Haoran explained.
Yang Haoran explained with a smile.
This explanation was just a random excuse made by Yang Haoran. The real reason for the unbreakable chains was his powerful strength, which the Slaughter Corpse Formation of Ma Ling could not destroy.
"No wonder, I don't know why my Slaughter Corpse Formation couldn't hurt these chains at all. However, the uncle's strength is still very strong. Without using a soul weapon, just relying on two chains ford by Yin spirit power, he was able to restrain this powerful corpse fiend, which is not sothing anyone can do without a certain level of strength," Ma Ling said with a smile.
"Not at all, if you really want to say it, it's your formation that's amazing. Without your Slaughter Corpse Formation, I'm afraid the chains I used to control the corpse fiend would have shattered long ago," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.
This corpse fiend was much stronger than the one Master Zhou had controlled before. Master Zhou's corpse fiend was probably only at the lowest level of the corpse fiend realm, while this one, though appearing weak, was actually very powerful.
Of course, this "very powerful" is relative, not absolute. In Yang Haoran's eyes, the strength of the corpse fiend in front of him was just average. The truly formidable corpse fiends, even with his current strength, he would absolutely not be a match for. The top-tier corpse fiends' strength could be on par with the top Burial Masters who had opened their Heaven Souls.
"Hehe, if it weren't for your help this ti, uncle, I would have had a hard ti dealing with this corpse fiend on my own. If no one had provided with enough ti, I wouldn't have been able to successfully set up the Slaughter Corpse Formation," Ma Ling said, glancing at the struggling corpse fiend on the ground, then smiling sweetly at Yang Haoran.
"Even without , the Spirit Police here could have bought you ti," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"You saw their situation. If I had let them try to buy ti, not only would the success have been doubtful, but they would have all ended up tragically killed by the corpse fiend. And without your chain control, the corpse fiend would have been free to break through my Slaughter Corpse Formation and co after , and I would have been completely devoured," Ma Ling said.
As she said this, Ma Ling seed to have imagined the bloody and disgusting scene, and she couldn't help but shudder, her face full of disgust.
"Ah, I'm so fair and delicate, I don't want to be eaten by a zombie."
Yang Haoran gave a faint smile, his expression sowhat complex, and said, "Hehe, being eaten by him wouldn't be a problem. The real tragedy would be if you beca a corpse puppet after being eaten."
With Yang Haoran's words, an image of herself as a corpse puppet flashed through Ma Ling's mind, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps on her neck.
"Alright, alright, uncle, could you please say sothing nice? Is this how you usually scare young ladies?" Ma Ling asked.
Yang Haoran just smiled without saying much.
"Oh, by the way, thank you just now. If you hadn't stepped in, I might have been attacked by my own people," Ma Ling said, referring to the Spirit Police who had suddenly attacked them due to the corpse poison.
"Hehe, there's no need to thank . You chose to trust , so of course I couldn't let you down, right?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"Hehe, that makes sense. At the ti, I was completely relying on you. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have dared to do that," Ma Ling said with a smile.
Yang Haoran's smile remained unchanged as he asked, "Aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person?"
Hearing this, Ma Ling's smile beca more pronounced, and she said, "Probably not. They say that people with ugly appearances have a greater sense of security. It seems to be true."
Yang Haoran's smile stiffened. Ma Ling's words had hit a sore spot. Although he wasn't good-looking, he couldn't be considered ugly either. Being described this way by Ma Ling, he felt his appearance had been greatly challenged.
Recovering, he gave a wry smile. He didn't try to argue with Ma Ling about his appearance, because he knew deep down that without the hardware, no matter how eloquent he was, he couldn't solve the troubles brought by his looks.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked that question just now. Now, how do you plan to deal with this corpse fiend?"
Looking at the struggling corpse fiend beneath them, Ma Ling let out a chuckle and said, "Of course I'm taking this corpse fiend back. He's the spoils of war from my mission this ti. My elders at ho are very interested in zombies and like to research them. You just saw the Slaughter Corpse Formation I used, which is the result of their research after studying a large number of zombies. The effect is undeniable."
"What about the Spirit Police? How will you explain taking the corpse fiend?" Yang Haoran asked.
"My father will communicate with the Spirit Police. Although they also like to research these things, this ti we were the ones who captured the corpse fiend. If it weren't for us, they would all have died. So, this corpse fiend can be considered the reward for our joint effort. As for the corpse puppets, we can just give them to the Spirit Police," Ma Ling said.
