294: Kill the Corpse King

Corpse Mountain.

The Corpse King, Celestial Killing Star, and Earthly Fiend Star gathered once more.

Celestial Killing Star's expression was grim; he had already received a message from the Saintess, instructing her to depart within half a month and meet her at the headquarters.

He had to act quickly and capture that girl.

"Have you found a way to draw out the Poison Girl? Does this King have to storm the Demon Suppression Division to snatch her?" The Corpse King ate the freshly disemboweled Human Race blood-food, his expression indifferent, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Corpse King, we will first control a county and threaten the Poison Girl to come alone, or else we will devour everyone in the entire county. At that time, with our combined strength, wouldn't capturing her be as easy as pie?" Celestial Killing Star sneered.

"No time to lose, it's today!"

Earthly Fiend Star frowned and said, "If the Poison Girl brings a large number of experts, we..."

Celestial Killing Star said disdainfully, "The Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division only has the Poison Girl, who is in the Faxiang Realm, plus a Faxiang Puppet. What is there to fear?"

Moreover, she couldn't possibly bring that Faxiang Realm Puppet out of the Demon Suppression Division. It needs to remain in the Demon Suppression Division, just in case.

The Corpse King's eyes gazed at the Corpse Demons beneath the bone throne.

Twenty-eight Spirit Rank Corpse Demons, and even nine Earth-Grade Corpse Demons, were all devouring Human Race blood-food, mostly raw, with screams echoing endlessly.

"Ah—"

"Damn demons, I'll screw your ancestors!"

A Vajra Realm martial artist had his thigh bitten off directly by an old Corpse Demon, letting out a desperate cry, and was quickly devoured alive.

"Pfft...ugh..."

Dozens of people groaned in pain.

More had their necks bitten off directly, their blood sucked by the Corpse Demons.

"Go to the Corpse Demon Cave again and escort three hundred martial artists. Today, this King will let my children eat their fill, and then we'll go to the county town!" The Corpse King shouted, a smile on his face.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Demons roared excitedly. Following the Corpse King meant meat to eat, nine meals in three days, and endless blood-food awaiting them.

As the saying goes, follow the right person, eat well.

These Corpse Demons had indeed followed the right master; they ate well every day, and their future prospects were great.

"The rise of Corpse Mountain is unstoppable. Anyone who stands in its way will be crushed by this King!" The Corpse King's eyes flashed with excitement. As long as he was given enough time to develop, he might even advance to Heaven-Grade Corpse King, becoming the King of Ten Thousand Corpses, the King of Kings.

"Corpse King is invincible!"

"Corpse King is the coolest!"

The various praises from the Corpse Demons were endless.

Earthly Fiend Star on the side also smiled continuously. After the Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall was wiped out by Chu Jiang, its strength was greatly diminished, with only one of its five sub-branches remaining. He harbored deep hatred for the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, especially Chu Jiang.

Now, cooperating with Corpse Mountain would surely allow them to rise again.

Just as the demons were enjoying their bright future.

Rumble!

In an instant, the ground shook, as if a great earthquake had occurred.

A colossal hand directly tore open a thousand-meter-wide gaping maw in the entire Corpse Mountain, revealing the eerie white bones within.

"Suppress Demons!"

"Suppress Demons!"

Voices roared, deafening, reaching the heavens, filled with Killing Intent.

Only to see.

Swish, swish, swish!

A golden Dao path unfurled from the sky. A large contingent of elite Demon Suppression Guards, following the golden Dao path, descended like heavenly soldiers and generals directly into Corpse Mountain.

This kind of deterrent force caused the hearts of the thousands of ordinary Corpse Demons on the outskirts of Corpse Mountain to tremble; this was a dangerous aura.

"Not good, it's the Demon Suppression Guard!"

"How did they find this place, damn it!"

The high-ranking Corpse Demons inside turned pale.

However.

They were only surprised, not fearful.

With the Corpse King present, nothing was a problem.

As long as the Sea-Calming Divine Needle did not fall, Corpse Mountain would not perish.

At this moment.

Inside the Corpse Demon Cave, thousands of Human Race martial artists were confined like livestock in various cave entrances.

Clearly.

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted attention here as well.

"Someone's here to save us!"

"Mistress, is it the Demon Suppression Guard adults here to save us?"

"It must be!"

"Not necessarily. What if the demons are fighting over spoils and are discussing how to eat us!"

Some ignited hope, while others remained in despair.

Most of the people here were captured at night by a group of masked men in black.

Some others were caught while alone.

Or they were lured here by a small succubus.

"Damn it, such a beautiful girl turned out to be a succubus, how abominable!"

"Young man, your willpower is too weak, and you're not on guard. You can't blame others!"

"Your willpower is good, can you come here?"

Various voices mingled, making a chaotic din.

"Silence! What are you arguing about? Whoever makes noise again, when Lord Corpse King slays the invading enemy, he'll be the first one used as a side dish for drinks!"

An old Corpse Demon, his face impatient, led a dozen Corpse Demons patrolling the Corpse Demon Cave, scolding the martial artists.

At these words, it immediately quieted down a bit.

But the old Corpse Demon's words once again plunged everyone into despair.

The good news was that the Demon Suppression Guard had indeed arrived.

The bad news was that the demons clearly didn't take them seriously.

The demons of Corpse Mountain ate, drank, and patrolled as usual.

On the bone throne.

The Corpse King's face was gloomy. He had intended to besiege that young woman, but instead, the opponent had directly attacked his doorstep.

Damn it.

Earthly Fiend Star looked at the warship and discovered that besides Fu Yunxuan, there was another person.

His expression immediately changed.

Wasn't this bane dead?

How was he alive again!

"Corpse King, please be careful. The one who came is the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner—Chu Jiang!"

"This is probably his personal army, all elite Demon Suppression Guards!"

"Chu Jiang was able to sweep through the Divine Power Realm half a year ago, his strength is extremely formidable. Please be careful, Corpse King!"

The Corpse King said disdainfully, "He could sweep through the Divine Power Realm half a year ago. Now, at most, he has just broken through to the Faxiang Realm. This King can blow him up with one hand."

"You go capture the Poison Girl first. After this King slays that Chu Jiang, I'll come to assist you!" He then looked at Celestial Killing Star and said.

After speaking.

Whoosh!

Shadows flickered in the Void Realm as the two rushed into the sky with astonishing speed.

"Roar!"

"Corpse King, Corpse King!"

"Invincible!"

Both ordinary Corpse Demons and high-ranking Corpse Demons uniformly began to cheer and shout for their Corpse King.

They expected the Corpse King to tear open the enemy's chest with a single blow.

After all.

It had always been like this in the past.

...

"Die for me!"

"Corpse King's Eight Phases!"

The Corpse King let out an earth-shattering roar. The thousands of years of accumulated Corpse Demon Qi within him erupted like a volcanic eruption, condensing into eight giant Corpse Beasts.

They were like eight great beasts, piercing through the Void Realm, charging towards Chu Jiang with a world-destroying momentum.

...

Chu Jiang's expression was as calm as water. He merely extended a finger with effortless grace.

This single finger caused the Void Realm to instantly collapse, generating endless spatial ripples.

"Suppress!"

In an instant.

The eight great Corpse Phases shattered like clay chickens and pottery dogs!

"No... This is impossible!"

The Corpse King's pupils violently contracted, his face filled with disbelief. His ultimate killing move had been effortlessly crushed by the opponent's single finger.

Moreover, this finger suppressed the surrounding Void Realm, leaving him nowhere to escape.

With this strike, he was doomed to die.

His previous arrogance and hubris were mercilessly shattered at this moment, replaced by endless despair.

"Senior, spare me! I am willing to seal the mountain forever and never leave, offering all the Treasure Trove of Corpse Mountain!" The Corpse King's voice trembled, a hint of humility and pleading flashing in his eyes.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

He had no choice but to bow his head.

Chu Jiang's lips curled into a cold smile: "Heh heh, utterly foolish. If I kill you, everything in Corpse Mountain will naturally belong to this lord!"

"Damn it..."

The Corpse King roared in despair. His Corpse Mountain rise plan, that grand blueprint, was about to be cut short before it even began. How could he be reconciled!

The next second.

Crack!

The Corpse King's body shattered like broken porcelain, blood raining down into the sky.

Chu Jiang waved his large hand, and the Corpse King's corpse was collected into the purple gold gourd.

Corpse King, deceased!
