141: Corpse transformation

Above the Great Wall, the smoke of battle had not yet dispersed, and a subtle tension lingered in the cold wind.

Although the fighting had ceased, Bai Yue and the Cultivators remained on high alert, daring not to relax in the slightest.

Their gaze swept over the scattered remains of white wolves, these once fearsome creatures now nothing more than a chaotic mess, a mix of blood-red and charred black, creating a grim and eerie scene under the cold lamplight.

In the air, the unique scent of blood and scorched earth was so heavy it was almost tangible, stimulating everyone's senses and creating a sense of oppression.

It was in this dead silence and unease that an anomaly suddenly occurred!

A low, powerful sound, like a murmur from deep within the earth, slowly rose from the battlefield strewn with wolf corpses.

"Thump, thump," each beat like a heavy hammer striking everyone's hearts.

The corpses, which should have been silent, began to twitch uncontrollably, their muscles unnaturally contorted in the moonlight.

Their lifeless wolf eyes gradually glowed with a faint blue light, like cold stars in the abyss, coldly locking onto every living being around them, revealing a malevolence that did not belong to this world.

Witnessing this, Bai Yue's delicate brows furrowed, her face instantly losing its color, as shock and confusion surged through her like a tide.

With her Divine Ability, she couldn't discern what method the opponent had used, and an unknown fear quietly spread.

"All units, prepare for battle!" Her voice was firm and clear, piercing through the surrounding gloom, awakening everyone's Battle Intent. "Prepare to face the enemy; whether they are dead or alive, they must not be allowed to cross this line!"

The Cultivators moved at her command, Spell incantations flowing from their fingertips, spiritual energy converging into brilliant streaks of light, adding a touch of brightness to the dark night.

And the exhausted warriors, despite being pushed to their limits, gritted their teeth and persevered in the face of death, their swords and blades humming faintly from their tight grip—a resonance of their unyielding will.

However, as the battle resumed, everyone gradually realized that these Rebirth wolf corpses were far more troublesome than imagined.

Not only did they move, but after being attacked, their wounds healed at a visible speed, as if some evil force was manipulating them from behind, granting them immortality.

"This is no ordinary necromancy Spell; what method is this?!" an elderly Cultivator warned loudly, a grave look flashing in his eyes, "We must find a way to break it, otherwise, this battle will be endless!"

Bai Yue nodded gently, determination and resolve in her brows.

She knew that the coming battle would not only be a test of magical power but also a contest of wisdom and strategy.

These resurrected wolf corpses, returning to the battlefield with an undying curse, undoubtedly presented a huge challenge.

A Cultivator in silver armor with a light shield, clasped his hands and closed his eyes in concentration; moments later, a massive halo of warm, powerful light slowly rose around him, like the rising sun, sweeping away the surrounding darkness.

Within the halo, the resurrected wolf corpses were enveloped in light; their figures twisted in the light, their roars mixed with pain and unwillingness, but even under such suppression, they still struggled, trying to break through this restraint.

On the other side, a young Cultivator holding a lightning Talisman, his eyes flashing with electricity, flicked his fingers, and Talismans imbued with the power of heavenly lightning flew out, transforming into dazzling bolts of lightning that streaked across the sky, accurately striking the wolf corpses.

Lightning intertwined, the oxygen in the air instantly ignited, unleashing deafening roars; in a flash of lightning, the wolf corpses' bodies were torn apart and then healed, the power of Rebirth keeping them on the brink of destruction, yet always preventing them from being completely defeated.

"How can these monsters not be killed!"

"My magical power is almost depleted."

"We must retreat."

...Bai Yue's eyes scanned her surroundings; the faces of every Cultivator reflected the firelight, a complex expression mixed with fear and resolve, and she had to lead them to find the dawn of victory.

Just as she was at a loss, Han Fei's voice reached her ears.

"Each corpse wolf has a Spell core; just destroy it, and you can stop their regeneration."

Bai Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "How do I find their Spell core?"

"Let me cast a Spell."

The next moment, rain poured down.

On every corpse wolf, a constantly shifting blue light point appeared.

"All Cultivators, hear my command!"

Bai Yue's voice pierced the night sky, carrying an undeniable power, "Concentrate your magical power and strike the core vital points of these wolf corpses! Only by destroying their core can they truly be killed!"

Her words were like a sharp sword, cutting through all hesitation and fear.

"Do not hesitate, use the Moon God's Secret Art!"

As Bai Yue's command was given, the Cultivators seemed to be united by an invisible force; they took a deep breath, employing the Moon God's Secret Art that Bai Yue had taught them.

Subsequently, surges of vast spiritual energy boiled within them, like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea, surging and ready to erupt.

When they opened their eyes, their gaze was like a torch, locked onto the faint light points flickering on the wolf corpses—the location of their Spell cores.

In an instant, brilliant rays of light burst from the Cultivators' fingertips, like meteors streaking across the night sky, striking those light points with precision and ferocity.

However, even after discovering the wolf corpses' fatal weakness, killing them completely was by no means easy.

The Spell cores of these wolf corpses were not only heavily protected by powerful Spells, requiring extremely strong attacks to shatter them.

Moreover, these cores were exceptionally cunning, rapidly shifting within the wolf corpses, as if possessing their own will, making every attack full of variables.

The Cultivators had to adjust their attack direction in an instant, each attempt a contest of wisdom and strength.

This battle was like a long night, testing the will and endurance of every Cultivator on the Great Wall.

The wolf corpses' assault was relentless like a tide, the Great Wall's defenses tottered under their impact, breached again and again, and rebuilt again and again by the Cultivators with their flesh and blood.

Bai Yue and the Cultivators, though physically and mentally exhausted, found the strength to persevere in each other's determined eyes.

Their unity and unyielding spirit, like the beacon fires on the Great Wall, illuminated the darkness, conveying a belief in never giving up.

After countless attempts and failures, Bai Yue and the Cultivators finally found a glimmer of hope.

They began to cooperate skillfully, utilizing the characteristics of their respective Divine Abilities to weave a precise attack net.

Some struck with the force of thunder, while others used gentleness to overcome hardness, slowly eroding.

Finally, in a meticulously planned joint attack, the bodies of many wolf corpses disintegrated and turned into dust, disappearing into the wind of the Great Wall.

The smoke of battle gradually dispersed, and Bai Yue and the Cultivators slumped to the ground, looking at the devastation around them, their hearts filled with an unspeakable sense of relief and release.

After the battle, the Cultivators and warriors began the tense work of clearing and repairing, inspecting every damage, stitching up the scars of war bit by bit with their sweat and effort.

Witnessing all this, Han Fei's heart surged with complex emotions.

The cruelty and ferocity of war far exceeded all his previous imaginings.

But within this cruelty, he also saw the brilliance and resilience of humanity, and felt the power of unity and perseverance.
