198: Chapter 198 Not bad! He actually predicted my punch!

In the void before the Corpse King, a white figure flashed into existence!

An old eunuch dressed in a sharp python robe appeared, his muscles tensed and his back arched like a fully drawn bow. He threw a hundred-zhang-long eagle-shaped fist shadow toward Yu Hengzi!

Boom!

Accompanied by a massive roar, the Corpse King's several-zhang-wide iron fist collided violently with the old eunuch's hundred-zhang eagle-shaped fist shadow!

A visible white energy wave dozens of zhang wide, swirling with dust, rippled outward from the point of impact like water!

“Not bad! To think you could actually predict my punch!

For the Sage of Mount Shu to teach a Disciple like you,

he can truly rest in peace!”

Azure Eagle stroked his slender knuckles and raised an eyebrow as he looked at Yu Hengzi.

“However, you still have to die today!”

Azure Eagle abruptly vanished from his spot, moving so fast that he didn't even leave an afterimage in the void!

Yu Hengzi's expression changed drastically as his hands rapidly formed seals!

In the Southern Region of the Taixu Realm, the two Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage Corpse Kings guarding the gates of the Taixu Realm suddenly vanished into thin air!

In the next second, the two Corpse Kings appeared directly above the Shu Mountain of the Taixu Realm. With their arm-thick iron chains clattering, the two corpses combined their strength to throw a heavy punch into the void!

A white figure gradually solidified in the void! With veins bulging on his forehead and a distorted face, Azure Eagle threw a hundred-zhang eagle-shaped fist shadow toward the eye of the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation!

Boom!

With a massive roar, Azure Eagle's hundred-zhang eagle-shaped fist shadow collided fiercely with the combined punch of the two Corpse Kings!

Azure Eagle was sent flying back a hundred zhang, his feet plowing furrows dozens of zhang long into the ground like hooks before he finally stabilized himself!

Azure Eagle wiped the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth and spat out some blood. His face darkened, his heart filled with shock!

The Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation left behind by the Sage of Mount Shu was actually this powerful; the combined punch of two Corpse Kings could send him flying a hundred zhang and even cause internal injuries!

The foundations of this Taixu Realm are indeed deep!

“Not bad! You predicted my punch again!

Kid, can you tell which one is the real me?”

Ten figures of Azure Eagle appeared in the void!

Five figures turned into a series of afterimages, launching thousand-zhang Blood Eagle Punches that smashed toward Yu Hengzi!

The other five figures turned into streaks of light, launching several Blood Eagle Punches toward the eye of the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation!

“Heh heh heh... Can't tell which is real, can you? Die— Huh? Argh!...”

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone cracking, Azure Eagle's pupils shrank to pinpricks. His whole body curled up like a shrimp as intense pain shot from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head!

While Azure Eagle was excitedly blabbering, three rotting Corpse Kings suddenly flashed before his eyes. With the clattering of iron chains, the three Corpse Kings combined their strength into a punch that slammed heavily into Azure Eagle's lower abdomen!

Like a falling meteor, Azure Eagle smashed into the ground at extreme speed, creating a massive crater with spiderweb-like cracks radiating from the bottom!

Azure Eagle's face was pale. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood!

“How did you find me?”

Azure Eagle's eyes, filled with resentment and malice, glared at Yu Hengzi like blades.

“The other nine kept their mouths shut and were very quiet! Only you were blabbering non-stop. I just didn't like the look of you and wanted you to shut up!”

“Pfft!”

Hearing this, Azure Eagle spat out another mouthful of blood!

Mainly because this made him look a bit stupid!

He hated two things most: taking risks and being stupid. Now, he had managed to do both.

“Die!”

His palms hooked into eagle claws, his muscles tensed, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet, vanishing from the spot instantly!

The next second!

Azure Eagle appeared behind Yu Hengzi, his lips curling into a successful smirk. With veins bulging on his forehead, he struck down toward Yu Hengzi's head with a Blood Eagle Palm that tore through the air, creating wisps of white smoke!

“Argh!”

Azure Eagle's eyeballs bulged, blood vessels spreading across them like crimson earthworms!

Accompanied by the sound of shattering bones, Azure Eagle's face was flattened as he was sent flying diagonally like a cannonball, crashing into the mountain rocks with a boom!

From the void behind Yu Hengzi, a corpse figure slowly stepped out!

Indeed! Just as Azure Eagle's sneak attack was about to succeed, he was suddenly punched in the face by a Corpse King and sent flying with a look of utter confusion.

Azure Eagle lay in a pool of blood, his body twitching, completely dazed!

This isn't right!

He was clearly at the Great Perfection of the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage, and his Azure Eagle Heaven-Rending Manual Cultivation Technique was absolutely top-tier in terms of speed. Why was every one of his moves detected by the opponent? He was even being countered on the spot!

In fact, Azure Eagle had made full preparations before coming, specifically consulting the secret imperial archives from back then!

He had learned several major characteristics of the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation.

The first characteristic was the Three Corpses Unification, where the three Corpse Kings could merge into a hundred-zhang Ghost King Realm Corpse King!

It was truly powerful, but it could only last for the duration of an incense stick!

However, Azure Eagle had already thought of a countermeasure. As long as Yu Hengzi dared to use the Three Corpses Unification Seal, he would turn and run, only returning to kill them after the time was up!

The second characteristic was that the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation was a growth-type Formation. The imperial archives recorded that these three Corpse Kings were dug up from a mass grave in the Netherworld by the Sage of Mount Shu and brought back after being refined!

Initially, they only had Golden Core Realm cultivation, but after killing hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, they had all stepped into the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage!

That was why, at the start of the battle, Azure Eagle dared to transmit his voice to the Old Ancestors of the nine southern sects, telling them to suppress their cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm so the Corpse Kings wouldn't take the initiative to attack!

The third characteristic was that the eye of the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation was directly above Shu Mountain. Once destroyed, the three Corpse Kings would go completely out of control. At that time, Azure Eagle wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the three Corpse Kings would eat every Cultivator in the Taixu Realm alive!

Azure Eagle once thought he thoroughly understood the details of the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation, but he was wrong!

It's like how we can look up data to know a beautiful goddess's height, appearance, personality, and even hobbies,

but we cannot know what color underwear she likes to wear or what positions she prefers in bed!

Because these are hidden attributes that only those who have personally experienced them would know. The person recording the secret archives naturally wouldn't know and couldn't include them!

Exactly! The Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation also has hidden attributes!

The first hidden attribute is the Three Corpses Teleportation. As the name suggests, no matter the distance within the Three Corpses Soul Protection Formation, the three Corpse Kings can teleport to a designated location in an instant!
