Chapter 585: Chapter 0580: Dark Copper Evil Corpse

“Elder Wu didn’t just go after that woman in blue?”

Chu Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Elder Wu and the woman in blue had encountered some great danger?

If that was the case, it was feared that the woman in blue must have already lost her life to the Netherworld.

The group had no time to worry about what exactly had happened to Elder Wu, because they were currently facing two powerful Evil Corpses.

But just then–

Swoosh!

A figure in blue descended gracefully, the very dignified and elegant Fang Yanling.

The moment she touched the ground, her toes lightly tapped, and her body soared into the air, like a fluttering butterfly, disappearing from sight.

“Isn’t that the woman who inadvertently helped Chen Yu…”

Yun Fei’er murmured.

By now, anyone not too foolish could guess that it was this woman in blue who had caused Elder Wu to flee in panic.

They had never imagined that the beautiful woman in blue possessed such strength.

To be able to chase Elder Wu to this extent, not even Little Sword Master Bai Yang of Kunyun Sacred Land might be capable of that.

This thought shocked everyone.

Howl!

The Evil Corpses, having a trace of cunning intelligence, seized the opportunity to launch a ferocious assault.

“Quick, eliminate them!”

Yun Fei’er immediately shouted.

The five sprang to action, giving their all.

Among them, Yun Fei’er, a Fire Dao Practitioner, was relatively suited to counter the Evil Corpses.

Chen Yu’s “Blood Crystal Flame” also had a certain restraining effect on them.

In the battle, the two took the lead, while Chu Yu, the handsome young man, and Jiang Chen assisted from the sides.

After a long struggle, the five of them finally managed to slay the two formidable Evil Corpses.

Having slain the two Evil Corpses, the five entered the hole from which the corpses had sprung.

The entrance emitted a thick blanket of Evil Qi, pitch black within, with only one passage extending forward.

“Could these Evil Corpses have burrowed their way out from underground?”

Chu Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Why don’t we go in and take a look?”

The handsome young man suggested.

However, the two Evil Corpses had just sprung from this hole, and perhaps there were more lurking below, or even other dangers.

The hole was narrow, only allowing one person to pass through at a time.

Choosing to venture in meant the one leading would inevitably face enormous risks.

The handsome young man and Chu Yu couldn’t help but glance at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu, being a Body Cultivator with strong survival capabilities, was most suitable for the task.

If it had been earlier, they would certainly have put forth the suggestion, compelling Chen Yu to take the risk–an excuse that was full of reason and which Chen Yu could not refuse unless he chose to leave the group voluntarily.

But things were different now.

Having witnessed Chen Yu summon such an astonishing phenomenon and effortlessly drive away Zheng Jichou, they admired him and were unwilling to offend him.

In terms of strength, among the five present, Yun Fei’er was the strongest, followed by Chen Yu.

“Chu Yu, don’t you have a Spirit Pet capable of Earth Escape?”

Yun Fei’er suddenly spoke up.

Chu Yu’s expression turned slightly unnatural.

He indeed had an Earth Escape Spirit Pet, named Golden Armored Rat, which was highly sensitive to certain metals and to places rich in vital energy, granting it the ability to locate treasures.

Chu Yu was very fond of this Spirit Pet and had not informed many people about it, Yun Fei’er being one of the few who knew.

Now that Yun Fei’er had brought it up, he found it hard to refuse, especially since others shared the same thought.

“Alright!”

Chu Yu gritted his teeth, released the Golden Armored Rat, and controlled it to tunnel into the hole to investigate.

The five of them also followed, jumping into the hole while maintaining some distance from the Golden Armored Rat.

Their location was close to the surface, and the passage extended far into the distance, seemingly leading directly to the depths of the Heavenly Gate.

Suddenly, Chu Yu’s gaze flickered, as if through the Golden Armored Rat, he had seen something.

“No…”

In the next instant, Chu Yu let out a cry of alarm, his face contorted in grief and horror.

The others became alert at once, knowing from Chu Yu’s reaction that the Golden Armored Rat was dead.

“What happened?”

The handsome young man asked immediately.

If the situation was wrong, they would retreat at once.

“Ahead lies an underground palace, seemingly housing two Evil Corpses. The Golden Armored Rat had just entered the palace when they killed it,”

Chu Yu shared what he knew.

“An underground palace, there must be many treasures.”

The handsome young man’s eyes lit up with excitement.

The others thought the same, and besides, weren’t there just two Evil Corpses?

In truth, Chu Yu was hiding a fact; through the Golden Armored Rat’s senses, he felt that the Evil Corpse that killed it was extremely powerful, detecting and eradicating the rat in an instant.

The Earth Escape-skilled Golden Armored Rat didn’t even have a chance to flee.

However, Chu Yu sought revenge for the Golden Armored Rat. They were five, the enemy but two Evil Corpses; even if they couldn’t win, escaping should pose no problem.

All five decided to delve deeper, and before long, they reached the end of the passage, entering a vast underground palace.

Boom!

An overwhelming surge of Ghost Evil Qi rushed at them, followed by the sight of two Dark Copper Ghost Claws furiously pounding towards them, their formidable might suffocating even Yun Fei’er.

Swoosh–

The five scattered to both sides to dodge.

Boom!

The two Dark Copper Ghost Claws struck the wall, creating two dents, and cracks spread outward.

Clearly, the palace was built incredibly solid, as such fierce blows only left two shallow dents.

Although the palace was unharmed, the passage was collapsed and buried by the tremors.

“What kind of evil corpse is this? How can it be so strong?”

The handsome man stared at the tall and sturdy dark copper evil corpse before him, wrapped in ghostly and evil Qi, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

This dark copper evil corpse made him feel even stronger than Yun Fei’er, a half-step Sky Sea Realm level evil corpse!

Apart from the dark copper evil corpse, there was another one-armed evil corpse far away, sitting on a cushion, seemingly cultivating.

Moreover, on a purple cabinet in front of the palace, there was an incense burner and several wooden boxes.

Many of these boxes were enveloped by arrays, indicating that they contained treasures. The rest, unprotected by arrays, were all opened, and their contents had been taken by someone.

“There are actually humans!”

The dark copper evil corpse uttered a low growl, filled with endless anger and resentment.

At the same time, Chen Yu and the four others were also surprised; this evil corpse not only talked but also seemed to hint at some information.

Some particularly powerful zombies harbored ghost spirits and were capable of speech.

However, evil corpses contained astonishing evil Qi. Even if they had ghost spirits, their hearts and minds were shrouded by the evil Qi, becoming bloodthirsty and murderous.

Yet, this dark copper evil corpse seemed to have a bit of conscious awareness.

And what did its phrase “There are actually humans!” mean?

Yun Fei’er, Chen Yu, and the others also found it strange. Since coming to the Blood Star Realm, they had not met a single local inhabitant.

Could it be that this world had no humans?

And this dark copper evil corpse considered them inhabitants of the Blood Star Realm, which is why it voiced its question.

Boom!

The dark copper evil corpse swung a powerful punch, its fist enveloped in evil Qi as it came crashing down.

“She actually has the strength of a Half-step Sky Sea!”

Yun Fei’er’s expression became serious as she struck out with a dazzling, fire-red sword light.

Clang!

The sword light fell onto the dark and gloomy fist, shattering in an instance, pulverized by the punch.

At the same time, attacks from the others arrived.

But their level was below Yun Fei’er’s, let alone facing the attack of an evil corpse with Half-step Sky Sea strength.

Boom!

An intense and chaotic explosion rippled through the air.

Yun Fei’er, Chen Yu, and the others quickly dodged to the side.

“Die!”

The dark copper evil corpse charged out like a fierce beast, colliding forward.

Yun Fei’er’s eyelids twitched, and she immediately unleashed a vast amount of True Yuan, dodging nimbly.

However, the handsome man behind her was too slow to dodge and could only hold his sword in front of him and burn his True Yuan to create a True Yuan defensive barrier.

Boom!

The dark copper evil corpse struck like a meteor, instantly shattering the True Yuan barrier and bending the sword.

Crack!

At a certain moment, the spiritual treasure sword was directly broken by the impact, splitting in two.

At the same time, the dark copper evil corpse collided with the handsome man, caving in his chest and creating a bulge in his back. Strands of black light and evil Qi pierced through his body, emanating from his back.

Bang! Bang!

The handsome man’s body was instantly thrown out, smashed to the ground, rolled several times, and died completely.

He was ranked eleventh among the Silver Emblem Holy Guards, but now he was instantly killed by the evil corpse.

“He’s dead!”

Jiang Chen’s body trembled slightly. He was weaker than the handsome man and now felt an intense sense of crisis.

On the other side, Chu Yu looked at the death of the handsome man with eyes wide in shock, feeling regret that he hadn’t told the truth beforehand.

Now, with the exit blocked, they were trapped inside the great hall.

The evil corpse, with the cultivation of a Half-step Sky Sea and extremely ferocious nature, had an incredible defensive power, impervious to swords and spears, and highly resistant to ordinary attacks.

Aside from Yun Fei’er’s attack and Chen Yu’s “Blood Crystal Flame,” the others’ attacks were unlikely to hurt the evil corpse at all.

Fortunately, the other evil corpse in the distance was cultivating for reasons unknown.

If it joined the fight, they would be in danger.

“Don’t panic, everyone…”

Yun Fei’er spoke out.

However, her own voice was hurried, and her words were ineffective.

“Come out.”

Chen Yu patted his storage bag, releasing the Red Flame King.

In such a crisis, they had to rely on the Red Flame King, whose mastery in the Fire Dao was profound, giving them a significant advantage against the dark copper evil corpse.

“Kid, you sure know how to have fun. This is a Half-step Sky Sea Realm evil corpse, and moreover, this one has practiced Body Refining Technique before. It’s a fine breed among evil corpses.”

Red Flame King glanced at the brass corpse and commented immediately.

The other few took another look at the Fire Path Ancient Beast, secretly admiring its keen perception.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Chen Yu gave him a glance.

“Chen Yu, Chu Yu, let’s join forces to hold off this evil corpse. Jiang Chen, you go clear the passage!”

After seeing the Fire Path Ancient Beast, Red Flame King, Yun Fei’er felt a glimmer of hope.

It was with the help of this Fire Path Ancient Beast that Chen Yu had passed the sixth challenge of Sky Sea Mountain, which showed the Red Flame King’s extraordinary strength.

Together with the Fire Path Ancient Beast’s restraint on evil corpses, their combined effort should be sufficient.

“Attack!”

Yun Fei’er shouted, holding her sword and sweeping out a crimson sword beam.

Chen Yu mobilized his “Blood Crystal Flame,” unleashing a black and red mingled flame light punch.

The Red Flame King spared no effort in concealing his power, striking with his “Melting Gold Flame.”

Perhaps, he was deliberately showing off.

“Melting Gold Flame?”

Jiang Chen, Chu Yu, and Yun Fei’er were all drawn to the innate spiritual flame cast by the Red Flame King, with shocked expressions.

They all knew that within Medicine King Valley there was a batch of Melting Gold Flame that had disappeared.

Now it appeared that Chen Yu had obtained this “Melting Gold Flame,” and he had even given such a precious innate spiritual flame to his spirit pet.
