376: Chapter 376 Reencounter with Corpse Souls, Skeleton Army
Jia Ma Holy City!
The prosperity remained as it always was, with people coming and going. Hun Tiandi restrained his aura, paid the city entrance fee, and began to wander casually.
On the street, he happened to encounter a carriage from the Mittel Family, bearing their signature clan emblem.
“Is this... Miss Ya Fei?” Behind the curtains fluttering in the wind sat a mature woman with a jade-like face and enchanting red lips; with such an appearance, it was naturally the Mittel Family's auctioneer.
Hun Tiandi flipped his hand to pull down the brim of his hat, concealing his features, and walked toward the other side.
“Eh, was it really him?” Ya Fei's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked in the direction Hun Tiandi had left, having sensed a familiar aura earlier.
He was too fast for her to confirm, so she subsequently left the street.
“What a sharp perception!” Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile. Due to the earlier great battle of the Xiao Family, countless manors in Jia Ma Holy City had been destroyed.
By now, they had all been repaired, restoring the city to its former prosperity.
He headed toward the Darong Shop; the interior was shattered, with blood splattered everywhere, though it had already dried and turned black.
What a brutal method.
Blood light flickered on Hun Tiandi's right hand as he refined the dried blood, making it bright red and full of vitality, then sensed it slightly.
“This is... Yuan Yi's aura?”
In the shop, only the blood left by Yuan Yi remained. It seemed the opponent hadn't given him the slightest chance to react.
They had even managed to keep it hidden from the Jiama Royal Family.
“It seems I can only place my hopes on the information from Yao Feiyu and the others. Once it's confirmed to be the Xiao Family's doing, then it will be time for the Xiao Sect in the Black-Corner Region to disappear!”
With a sway of his body, he vanished from the shop. He coldly gazed at the True Dragon of Luck above the Jiama Royal Family—a vast golden ocean of fortune where a formidable True Dragon of Luck coiled, breathing fortune while in slumber.
This was the prosperity of the Jia Ma Empire.
He swept toward the outskirts of the city, unwilling to waste so much time here.
Three days later, while rushing toward Linhai City, he detected a sinister ghostly Qi erupting within the mountain range. Hun Tiandi frowned slightly.
His wings flapped as he swept toward the place where the ghostly Qi had erupted.
Deep within the vast mountain range stood a man dressed in black. His face was pale and bloodless, he wore a thin beard on his chin, and his expression was indifferent.
“Mr. Corpse Soul!” Hun Tiandi charged directly into the ghostly Qi, not fearing the cold, evil energy in the slightest.
“You've come? Are you prepared?”
Mr. Corpse Soul was not surprised at all and spoke indifferently.
“Jie jie jie, I am ready at any time!” Hun Tiandi smiled wickedly.
A strange smile appeared on Corpse Soul's pale face. He suddenly extended his right hand and shifted his sleeve, and a large amount of black Qi surged from the opening, as dark as ink.
It even washed the surrounding air clean, yet it surged into the ground.
“What was this mountain range used for in the past?” Hun Tiandi inquired.
“It is an ancient battlefield. Since ancient times, countless people have perished in this Undead Mountain Range. For a period of time, blood even stained the mountains!” Corpse Soul said plainly.
“An ancient battlefield? Interesting!” Hun Tiandi raised a sword-like eyebrow, showing a hint of interest.
Rumble!
The earth ahead trembled, the mountains shook, and sinister black Qi drilled out from underground.
Puff!
Not far from Mr. Corpse Soul, a patch of soil was broken open—no, it should be said it was overturned. Hun Tiandi stared there, his pupils shrinking.
From the overturned spot, a large skeletal hand suddenly emerged.
A skeletal claw broke through the soil, and then a terrifying scene appeared. From all directions throughout the entire mountain range, a massive number of skeletons emerged from various spots.
Breaking through the soil were humanoid skeletons, slowly crawling out from deep underground.
A skeleton army?
All around Mr. Corpse Soul, more and more skeletons emerged in vast numbers. As if driven by some power, the color of the bones gradually turned a grayish-white.
They were as hard as rock, and a crimson light burst from their empty eye sockets, making for a very eerie sight.
The entire plain was permeated with a sinister and terrifying aura.
Hun Tiandi's expression was grave; this Mr. Corpse Soul's methods were indeed bizarre.
The terrifying scene was boundless, filled entirely with skeletons, with even more continuously emerging.
Some incomplete skeletons even picked up bones to piece onto their own bodies; some skeletons didn't even care for martial decorum.
They found bones from somewhere to prop up on their backs, forming a pair of bone wings, and actually began to fly.
Just like Dou Wang experts, they deployed Dou Qi wings to fly through the air.
Skeletons can fly too?
The endless skeleton army filled the mountain range.
In just fifteen minutes, an endless skeleton army had formed before Mr. Corpse Soul.
If it were humans with low cultivation, they would probably be scared to death.
Mr. Corpse Soul remained expressionless as the skeletons continued to increase frantically. These skeletons did not attack immediately but instead kept strengthening themselves.
Some skeletons found bone wings and flew up, some found scattered remains to wield in their hands, and some even found weapons buried in the old battlefield.
“Jie jie jie, this isn't a Feng Shui Derived Realm, nor is it a Feng Shui formation. You are summoning a skeleton army through your own power?”
Hun Tiandi laughed wickedly.
Buzz!
With a wave of his sleeve, the ten thousand soul banner appeared. With a flick of his finger, blood-colored Dou Qi burst forth and poured into it. The banner expanded in the wind, emitting a thick black-purple evil Qi that shrouded the entire Undead Mountain Range.
The endless black-purple evil Qi surged, spreading toward the horizon.
Countless soul bodies poured out, charging toward the skeleton army.
In the distance, Mr. Corpse Soul narrowed his eyes as he saw this sinister soul banner. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he pointed his right hand forward.
Ge ge ge...
The countless skeletons of the ancient battlefield trembled slightly, their bones clashing and making a striking sound, as if receiving an order from Mr. Corpse Soul.
Ga ga ga...
The countless skeletons made strange noises, grabbing their weapons as they surged toward the sky full of soul bodies.
The fastest skeletons in the air grabbed bone clubs and charged into the soul bodies.
Looking out, it was boundless. The clash of skeletons and souls was incomparably spectacular, as if one were in an underworld battlefield.
Skeletons wailed, the undead were relentless, souls filled the sky, bloodthirsty and devouring the heavens.
Bang!
In the first round of collision, some skeletons were smashed to pieces and some souls were torn apart; it could be described as both sides suffering losses.
Under the impact of the souls, Mr. Corpse Soul summoned zombies from underground. Six pale-faced individuals appeared at his sides and suddenly opened their eyes.
Their blood-red eyes permeated with a sinister and evil aura.
The six zombies moved, forming a blood-colored light shield that protected Mr. Corpse Soul from any damage.
Hun Tiandi's eyes turned cold. He spread his wings and flew high into the air, watching the battle between the countless skeletons and souls without paying it any mind.
Mr. Corpse Soul stood within a deep forest, guarded by the six high-level zombies.
After stepping into this deep forest, Hun Tiandi looked at Mr. Corpse Soul in the distance. Naturally, Mr. Corpse Soul also looked toward Hun Tiandi.
In the distance, Mr. Corpse Soul stared at Hun Tiandi, a hint of malice appearing at the corner of his mouth as he took out a strange little bell.
Ding dong...
Mr. Corpse Soul shook it continuously, and subsequently, the skeleton army that had been fighting the soul bodies began to attack Hun Tiandi.
Awoo...
Ang!
Hun Tiandi smiled wickedly and flicked his finger. Two powerful roars echoed from within the purple banner.
Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast, Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor!
The two main demon souls manifested and pounced toward the skeleton army and the zombies.
“This is my domain; you have done well!” Mr. Corpse Soul praised.
