78: Tai Sui guards the corpse

"Hatties."

Li Ke looked at Hatties, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You fight it."

"Perfect, I want to see its changes after its promotion with my own eyes."

Hatties's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

He glanced at the Silver Armor Corpse radiating a terrifying Aura not far away, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

"Yes, Master."

His voice was as firm as ever.

Hatties abruptly tore off the simple linen shirt he was wearing.

Revealing a bronze-colored physique, every inch filled with explosive power, with smooth and solid lines.

He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.

The next instant, Hatties's figure blurred suddenly, instantly appearing beside the Silver Armor Corpse!

His speed was so fast that it pulled out several clear, pitch-black afterimages in the gray mist behind him.

"Bang!"

A dull thud!

Hatties threw a punch, and on his fist, fine black Spiral Qi could be seen coiling.

This punch accurately struck the Silver Armor Corpse's lower abdomen.

However.

The Silver Armor Corpse stood still, unmoving.

Its strange face, covered in dense silver scales, lowered slightly, looking indifferently at the tiny Hatties in front of it.

Those silver scales, under Hatties's punch, which contained penetrating Spiral Force,

only slightly indented a little before the force was dissipated into nothingness.

The silver light on the surface of the scales flowed, quickly returning to smoothness.

Hatties frowned slightly.

His proud Spiral Force couldn't even break through the opponent's defense!

He didn't pause at all, his figure moved again,

transforming into elusive afterimages, encircling the tall and slender Silver Armor Corpse, launching a tempest-Li Ke offensive.

Punch!

Palm!

Knee!

Elbow!

Countless sharp and ruthless close-combat killing moves,

were unleashed madly onto the Silver Armor Corpse in an instant!

"Bang bang bang bang bang......"

A series of dense, drumbeat-Li Ke striking sounds continuously echoed in the Soul Summoning Forest.

However,

the Silver Armor Corpse remained Li Ke an ancient, unmoving mountain, standing still.

Every attack from Hatties seemed to strike an indestructible profound iron that had existed for ten thousand years.

Those pitch-black Spiral Force, capable of shattering stone tablets, cracking rocks, and piercing through steel armor,

once they touched the dense silver scales on the Silver Armor Corpse's body,

they would rapidly dissipate and disappear Li Ke waves crashing against a reef,

without even leaving a single white mark.

"Bang!"

Another powerful and heavy whip kick,

Hatties kicked the side of the Silver Armor Corpse's head fiercely.

The Silver Armor Corpse's head swayed slightly, and a powerful rebound force came back.

Hatties used the force to leap backward, landing on the ground several feet away, his steps slightly unsteady.

A strong sense of humiliation rose in his heart.

Hatties gritted his teeth,

he suddenly spun, his body rapidly twisting and compressing in mid-air,

his entire being transformed into a black drill containing terrifying penetrating power!

Carrying a piercing shriek that tore through the air, it went straight for the Silver Armor Corpse's vital temple.

Just then.

Li Ke, who had been observing, felt a slight movement in his mind.

The Silver Armor Corpse, having received the command, tilted its body slightly,

it raised its grotesque arm covered in silver scales,

and then, swung it fiercely!

The long and sharp Corpse claws drew five pale streaks in the air.

Heading straight for Hatties in mid-air.

This claw was incredibly fast!

Hatties in mid-air felt every hair on his body stand on end instantly,

a sense of life-and-death crisis originating from the depths of his Soul, engulfed him Li Ke a cold tide!

His body, in the air, was already unable to make effective dodging movements.

Watching as the pale and deadly Corpse claws were about to tear his body apart.

"Thump-thump...... thump-thump......"

At this instant,

Hatties felt everything around him become incredibly slow.

The surrounding wind was stretched out, Li Ke an aria from a minstrel's mouth.

The drumming sound was his heartbeat.

He even heard the sound of blood flowing within his body, Li Ke an surging underground dark river.

At this moment.

Hatties's heart was devoid of any distractions,

his eyes were pitch black, his pupils transforming into a constantly rotating, strange vortex.

His entire Aura suddenly soared at this moment, entering a mysterious [Flow] state.

"Spiral......"

"Pierce!"

Hatties let out a low roar,

from the tip of his right finger, a drop of crimson blood slowly seeped out.

The moment that drop of blood appeared, it transformed into a terrifying Spiral Force almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

A subtle red line flashed and disappeared in the air.

The Silver Armor Corpse's swinging right arm suddenly paused.

Stopping strangely in mid-air.

On that Corpse claw, covered in dense silver scales, a small, penetrating hole had appeared.

The edge of the hole was smooth as a mirror, with no Corpse blood seeping out.

Through that small hole, one could even see the Silver Armor Corpse's expressionless face behind it.

Not just the palm,

the Silver Armor Corpse's right shoulder blade, and the ground further behind,

all had a hole of the same size,

evidently, all were pierced by that terrifying bloody Spiral Force,

in a single strike!

"Puff!"

Hatties's figure slowly fell weakly in mid-air.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground.

Barton, the butler who had been standing quietly beside Li Ke, had the darkness around him twist.

Instantly appearing beneath Hatties, he steadily caught him.

At this moment, Hatties was completely exhausted, as if all his bones had been removed.

He was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat, his body trembling slightly, completely losing the ability to move.

But he still forced himself to raise his head, looking at the Silver Armor Corpse, wanting to confirm his battle results.

Then.

A scene that made Hatties's pupils constrict occurred.

The Silver Armor Corpse's Innate Divine Ability, [Tai Sui Guarding Corpse], quietly activated.

The two holes on its arm and shoulder, which had been pierced,

were wriggling, healing, and recovering at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!

Flesh and blood regenerated, and silver scales reappeared.

In less than a breath's time,

the holes had completely disappeared, leaving no trace of injury.

Seeing this scene.

Hatties's face instantly turned pale, and a deep sense of frustration appeared in his eyes.

Li Ke looked at Hatties's expression, lost in thought.

Actually, in terms of pure physical combat,

Hatties's strength was already quite good.

Judging from the Aura he was now emitting,

he had delved very deeply into the Second Life of the [Spiral Nine Lives Cultivation Technique].

He was close to the Breakthrough point of the Third Life.

And the [Spiral Nine Lives Cultivation Technique] was famously a Late Stage Cultivation Technique.

Once one Breakthroughs to the Third Life, the difficulty and risk of each subsequent Life would suddenly skyrocket.

Correspondingly, the magnitude of strength improvement would also suddenly increase.

It is said that Cultivating to the Ninth Life, one's killing power would be Heaven-Defying, tearing apart Soul Transformation Stage cultivators would be effortless...

It's just that this Cultivation Technique is too dangerous.

Let alone the Ninth Life, those who can truly Breakthrough to the Fourth Life are extremely rare.

"Perhaps I can increase investment in Hatties slightly."

Li Ke pondered silently in his heart.

At the same time.

After the Silver Armor Corpse's transformation,

the Corpse Qi Origin feedback from it became even purer.

Li Ke clearly felt that his own Physical Body strength was increasing at an astonishing speed.

With the Silver Armor Corpse's terrifying Physical Body strength constantly feeding back,

Li Ke's own Physical Body toughness was actually not much inferior to Hatties's full-power burst.

It's just that there has never been an enemy that required him to use physical combat to resolve.

He naturally didn't bother to act personally, to avoid dirtying his hands.

However, saying this out loud would probably be too much of a blow to Hatties,

so it's better not to mention it.

Li Ke extended his finger,

forcing out a wisp of Qi from his fingertip, cutting a tiny wound on his arm.

Almost the instant the wound appeared, the flesh began to wriggle, quickly healing, leaving no trace.

As the Silver Armor Corpse Awakened the Divine Ability of [Tai Sui Guarding Corpse].

Li Ke's body had also initially displayed some characteristics of [Tai Sui Guarding Corpse].

The profoundness of the [Innate Guardian Corpse] lies precisely in this.

As long as the Silver Armor Corpse continuously provides feedback,

he will gradually completely master this Innate Divine Ability.

This is also why he did not specifically spend effort to Cultivate those Body Tempering Demonic Technique.

Not only the effects brought by the [Yin Corpse Secret Canon].

He also possessed the [Demon Summoning Scripture], a great culmination of Demonic Path Cultivation Technique,

as long as he finds another Demonic Path 'seed' suitable for Cultivating top-tier Body Tempering Demonic Technique in the future,

the other party's Body Tempering Dao fruit will also be easily plucked by him.

And what he needed to do was to fully strive to improve his Cultivation Realm.

Naturally, someone would complement all sorts of methods for him......
