133: Increase the intensity and turn the corpse qi into positive one!
Corpse Disintegration Art?
Li Yan realized the opponent wasn't dead and immediately turned to leave.
However, an axe flew from a distance, and the rough man roared, "Brat, still trying to run?"
Li Yan dodged the flying axe with a sidestep. Judging from the current situation, he was already caught in a three-pronged attack.
These three were veterans, very skilled at capturing people.
The rough man and the thin man watched from the side, a playful look in their eyes, like a cat toying with a mouse.
It was as if Li Yan was a trapped mouse, with no escape.
Behind Li Yan, Cian's voice came from the green pus.
"This brat is indeed a Bloodline Chosen, a Blood Law Saint."
"With merely Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he actually forced me into such a pathetic state!"
"He even forced me to use the Corpse Disintegration Art to deal with him!"
Then, a hundred-zhang-tall rotting corpse rose from the ground.
Cian, after undergoing Corpse Disintegration, was like a giant corpse magnified hundreds of times.
Her entire body exuded a rotting stench, and green pus continuously flowed onto the ground, polluting the surrounding land.
This Cian, transformed into a hundred-zhang giant corpse, emitted miasma and plague.
Wherever she went, the insects, birds, snakes, and scorpions in the withered forest all fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Each step this giant rotting corpse took brought with it a putrid, fishy smell.
As the putrid stench assailed him, several lines of text appeared before Li Yan's eyes.
"Detected Corpse Yin Qi!"
"This Qi will rot all life, erode all living things and Souls, dragging them into eternal decay."
"Side effect turns positive: You are gaining Yang Si Power, slightly increasing your Soul strength."
Corpse Yin?
What is this again?
Are these people Corpse Cultivators?
Li Yan had never seen this type of Cultivator before; they seemed to have emerged from the ground after the world line changed.
A type of energy different from Spiritual Qi and Bloodline—Corpse Yin Qi.
While he was thinking, the three of them were observing Li Yan.
"What's wrong with this brat?"
"Facing my Corpse Qi, he's actually fine?"
The rough man with the axe stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I reckon it's the treasure lotus lamp Magical Artifact in his hand that's resisting the Corpse Qi."
The three of them looked at the treasure lotus lamp in Li Yan's hand, but their eyes only held disgust, not the thought of seizing it.
To them, the sacred light emanating from the treasure lotus lamp was the thing they detested most.
The thin man on the other side urged, "Quickly melt him into corpse water; I'm waiting to put him into my treasure gourd."
The thin man took out a treasure gourd, preparing to collect Li Yan's remains.
The hundred-zhang giant corpse clapped her hands, blowing an even denser Corpse Qi.
"Can't you see I'm dealing with him?!"
"You two, help out quickly; let's refine him together!"
These three seemed to plan to use Corpse Yin Qi to refine Li Yan into corpse water.
Then, putting Li Yan's corpse water into that 'treasure gourd' seemed to be one of their methods of Cultivation.
And these three didn't hide it, discussing it right in front of Li Yan.
"Refining this Emperor Saint into pus should help us Breakthrough and ascend to immortal bliss!"
"We Feather Transformation Realm old ghosts are just missing this final push; we'll ascend to immortality soon."
The three of them increased the Corpse Qi concentration while discussing the wonders of ascending to immortality.
It was as if refining Li Yan into a puddle of corpse water would allow them to ascend to immortality.
After all, Li Yan's value as a Bloodline Saint was undeniable; refining this brat into corpse water would definitely be a great tonic.
Meanwhile, Li Yan, listening to their discussion, was secretly absorbing their Corpse Qi.
The Corpse Qi flowed into his body, being absorbed and transformed by his Nascent Soul.
Li Yan muttered to himself.
"These few are greedy; they want to refine me."
"They're not in a hurry to attack me, just using Corpse Qi to refine me like this?"
"Should I run first?"
Li Yan was confident he could escape while they were relaxed.
He just needed to use his Golden Body Avatar for a golden cicada shedding its shell trick.
After all, if it were a one-on-one fight, Li Yan was confident he could kill one of them.
But when the three surrounded him from all directions, the risk was too great.
For him, if there was danger, he wouldn't risk capsizing in a ditch by confronting them.
Getting injured in the wilderness was not a wise choice.
Even a minor injury, Li Yan would not risk.
Just as Li Yan was about to activate his Golden Body Avatar to repel these three and create an opportunity for himself.
Dozens of unfamiliar auras appeared in the distance, making Li Yan frown.
"More people are coming?"
"And so many of them?"
Countless greedy gazes converged on Li Yan.
Those who came were all Corpse Cultivators who Cultivated Corpse Yin.
Someone must have leaked the news, whether it was an undercover agent or a traitor.
So many Corpse Cultivators had come here, wanting to carve a piece of meat from Li Yan.
Countless dirty, vulgar individuals surrounded him.
"Cian, why are you and your two old lovers eating meat without notifying the abbots and reverends from our other temples?"
One of them, a fat monk with ring scars on his head and wearing a kasaya, spoke with a smile.
"Cian, this old monk is also an old acquaintance of yours. Why didn't you inform this poor monk when you were eating meat?"
Looking at the fat monk, dressed in a kasaya, with a bulging belly and covered in grime.
The hundred-zhang giant corpse Cian snorted, "Dare to snatch my things? Believe it or not, I'll sit on all of you until you're dead!"
The fat monk laughed heartily, rubbing some mud pills from his greasy belly.
"This old monk's Corpse Disintegration Art is not without its benefits!"
Saying that, the fat monk swallowed the mud pills he had rubbed off his belly. The next moment, his body swelled and his skin cracked.
A hundred-zhang-tall filthy Corpse Buddha stood up from the ground. The Corpse Buddha, wearing prayer beads, exhaled Corpse Yin Qi from his mouth.
"This Bloodline Saint, we all deserve a share!"
"Reverend, do you have any objections?"
Looking at the greenish-gray Corpse Buddha, Cian, this rotting corpse, though displeased, could only close her mouth and say nothing.
It was as if, in their mouths, Li Yan had become a fish to be butchered.
Li Yan frowned as he watched the Corpse Qi surging from all directions.
He wasn't worried about being refined, but rather that a Breakthrough was imminent!
If they discovered him during his Breakthrough, there would likely be trouble.
At this moment, Li Yan looked at a nearby cave, and with a flash of inspiration, he directly entered it.
Seeing Li Yan enter the cave, the Corpse Cultivators burst into laughter.
"I've set up a Formation for a hundred miles around; he wants to escape by burrowing? Foolish!"
"He's truly seeking his own death, hiding in the cave for us to catch him like a turtle in a jar."
"His entering the cave makes it even easier for us to refine him."
A large amount of Corpse Qi was poured into the cave where Li Yan was. He felt a pungent, unpleasant smell.
However!
Li Yan's cultivation was also soaring, rising steadily!
He waved his hand, setting up a Formation at the cave entrance to prevent Qi from leaking out.
At this time, his cultivation had just Broken Through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the overflowing Qi from his body was blocked by the Formation.
As for outside?
The unaware Cian and dozens of Feather Transformation Realm Corpse Cultivators all poured Corpse Qi into the cave entrance.
"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, this brat will surely die!"
"Everyone, block the cave entrance; don't let him escape!"
At this moment, Li Yan was sitting cross-legged in the cave, absorbing the continuously pouring Corpse Qi, his cultivation rapidly increasing.
At the same time, he formed a hand seal with two fingers: "Go, open the Shadow Dao for me!"
After making these two preparations, Li Yan confidently and boldly began to absorb the Corpse Yin Qi.
