Chapter 156 Blood Armored Corpse King
Ye Kang and Gu Lingwei exchanged a glance and both chose to remain silent.
Stone giants are none of their business; they have nothing to do with them.
Subsequently, the four sect leaders, all at the eighth rank of the middle realm, stood apart, just as they had at the entrance to the secret realm. The four of them combined their true energy, and the sound of machinery clashing echoed throughout the palace.
Not long after, a beam of black light shot into the sky from above the palace, and with a loud rumble, the palace gates slowly opened inward.
It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. All the martial artists present held their breath and dared not make a move.
Master Yunhe stroked his beard and spoke in a deep, old-fashioned manner.
"Throughout history, secret realms have been divided into two types: one is naturally formed and has never been set foot in by martial artists. The other is left behind by ancient great martial artists, which contain more treasures and are more dangerous. This palace should be the residence left behind by a martial arts master."
Upon hearing this, all the martial artists present became excited.
If we could find ancient martial arts techniques or divine weapons inside, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?
At this moment, the handsome man carrying the spear, who was Gu Lingwei's father and the sect leader of the Overlord Spear Sect, Gu Changlin, also spoke up calmly.
"Old man, stop with the nonsense. Same as always, we'll go in together and look out for each other."
"good."
The four sect leaders, each with a different expression, stepped into the main hall at the same time. Then, streaks of eerie blue ghost fire automatically lit up, illuminating the hall in a blue glow.
The martial artists immediately followed, and Gu Lingwei was also pulled to the front by her fellow disciples.
Ye Kang, on the other hand, followed the example of a certain old demon, silently retreating behind the crowd and protecting them in front of him.
There's no other way; you have to play it safe when necessary. Who knows what dangers might lurk if you just barge into someone's house?
After he entered, he was able to see the entire hall clearly.
In short, there was nothing there, with eight large pillars standing on the side and several intersections around the perimeter leading to different rooms.
Just as Ye Kang was still debating whether to take the risk, the system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Defeat the Blood-Armored Corpse King]
[Quest Rewards: Comprehension Points, 1 Universal Key]
"?"
Ye Kang froze, his expression instantly becoming awkward.
Good guy!
The system is issuing these tasks way too frequently!
What is this Blood Armored Corpse King?! Just hearing the name makes it sound ridiculously powerful!
Ye Kang was speechless for a moment. Looking at the hall again, he felt it looked dangerous no matter how he looked at it.
At the same time, Fairy Longyue coldly said, "Hurry up and split up to explore."
After saying that, she chose a passage and went in, and the disciples of the Feixia Sect immediately followed.
Following closely behind, the disciples of the Overlord Spear Sect, Crane Spirit Sect, and Iron Fist Sect also followed their respective sect leaders and chose a passage to go.
As Gu Lingwei left, she glanced at Ye Kang, seemingly wanting him to come along, but Ye Kang silently shook his head, and the latter said nothing more.
Soon, only a group of disciples from small sects and independent cultivators remained in the main hall. They exchanged glances and tacitly divided into three teams, each choosing a passage.
Only Ye Kang remained still, choosing not to use the remaining passages, but instead sitting cross-legged in place, silently releasing his true energy and taking in the surrounding movements.
Now that we know there's a Corpse King here, it would be too slow to go looking for it ourselves, so we might as well wait here.
Let these people do the process of elimination for themselves; that will make the search faster.
He wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly for a full quarter of an hour.
Finally, from one of the passages, a series of panicked screams could be faintly heard.
Ye Kang opened his eyes and quickly ran towards the passage.
Those who entered were a group of rogue cultivators. They were indeed quite unlucky; of all the passages available, they were the ones who drew the jackpot.
Ye Kang burst into extreme speed and quickly arrived at the location where the screams had come from.
This is a stone chamber with a coffin in the center, surrounded by the corpses of rogue cultivators, lying haphazardly, their deaths extremely gruesome, their bodies covered in marks of being torn and bitten.
On the coffin lid, there was a weapon rack with a large, dark blue bow resting quietly on it.
There was bloodstain on the coffin lid. Needless to say, these people must have coveted the bow and died tragically while trying to steal it.
Ye Kang took out the demon sword and walked over cautiously. Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the large bow, suddenly, a deathly aura emerged from above.
Without hesitation, Ye Kang dodged, and the next second, a tall, muscular figure in blood-red armor landed fiercely, slamming his fist into the ground.
The figure's face was obscured, revealing only a pair of eyes emitting eerie blue flames, and it exuded no aura whatsoever.
No wonder.
These people weren't killed by the corpses in the coffins, but by this guy who had been hiding above them.
Ye Kang immediately swung his blade, unleashing a massive blade aura that slammed directly into the blood-red iron armor.
The armored corpse was knocked down with a single blow, and the iron plates on its breastplate were bent inwards. Ye Kang immediately followed up and punched the armored corpse in the face.
Boom!
The opponent's entire head was smashed off with a punch, rolling to the ground and revealing a zombie-like body, with wisps of black ghostly energy drifting away in the wind.
Looking at the zombie head on the ground, Ye Kang roughly judged the strength of this armored zombie.
It is at least equivalent to the eighth rank.
Among these rogue cultivators, the strongest were only at the fifth or sixth rank, so naturally they couldn't withstand the attack and all of them died.
Ye Kang did not immediately check the coffin, but instead scanned the corpses with his aura.
It was indeed fruitful!
Two rogue cultivators each carried a precious plant on their bodies!
Ye Kang didn't care what it was and directly absorbed the treasure plant. Then he put the two corpses into the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
Having taken their belongings, we naturally have to help them bury them properly.
Then he looked at the coffin. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and took the large bow. He felt a chill in his palm as he touched it, and two icy blue lines suddenly appeared on the bow, extending all the way to the bowstring.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, you have discovered a weapon that surpasses the Innate Realm and successfully triggered the Divine Martial Forge. Please wait patiently for three days for the Divine Martial Forge to unlock automatically.]
"Wow! A weapon that transcends the innate!"
Ye Kang was shocked. He never expected that a seemingly unremarkable longbow would be so amazing!
It even triggered a new furnace for itself!
This is the real treasure!
Ye Kang immediately put it into the Moyu Ancient Treasure. Unable to contain his excitement, he slapped the coffin lid open again.
The next second, an iron arrow shot out from the coffin, heading straight for his head!
"Fuck!"
Ye Kang used the Shadow Step almost instantly to teleport behind the coffin, thus dodging the arrow. Even so, the arrowhead almost pierced him.
"That was close!" Ye Kang immediately channeled all his energy and unleashed the Chaos Strike.
The next second, a figure sat up in the coffin, and was knocked out of the coffin by the punch.
The opponent landed on the ground, but only rolled once before shaking off its blood-red armor and standing up.
This level of strength! Ye Kang was certain that this was the Blood Armored Corpse King he was looking for!
He stared intently and saw that the Blood Armored Corpse King was holding an iron arrow in its hand. Only one of its eyes glowed with a ghostly fire. Its zombie-like face was expressionless, but it exuded an intense killing intent.
