The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 222
The black-robed young man looked at Ling Han. This young man couldn't possibly be more than eighteen years old, and was only at the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier. Then how could he possibly immediately think of the Thousand Corpses Sect when he heard the words 'Bronze Armored Moultices'?
It's strange!
His name was Rong Huan Xuan, and he bore a blood feud on his shoulders. He was forced into a desperate strait by others, but then came a major change in his life. He had obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Corpses Sect and became the heir of the sect even after it disappeared for several generations. In order to get his revenge, he dug up the skeletal remains of one of the ancestors of his enemy clan, refined them into his Corpse Warrior and eliminated the entire clan of his enemy.
He had obtained his revenge, but he had also become a prisoner of this mighty feeling. Not only did he not give up on this crooked path, he instead ventured further along it. He began to cultivate his own Corpse Warriors and search for new corpses to transform and develop them as well.
"Young man, you know too much!" Rong Huan Xuan pointed, and that the Corpse Warrior who had devoured blood and flesh immediately stood up and looked at Ling Han and the others.
This was an old corpse of an unknown age. The flesh around his chest had long since decayed, revealing the bones inside. However, the meat on his head, hands, and feet was quite well preserved and only half rotten. But this only made it even more terrifying as a lump of flesh just hung there, faintly revealing the white bones beneath. It was frightening enough to scare anyone with lesser courage to death.
The Corpse Warrior naturally lost all feeling. However, after being refined, it was equivalent to it having obtained a second life — even though it was only left with the instinctive need to devour blood and flesh to strengthen itself. Now that his meal was interrupted, it naturally got angry, and groaned at Ling Han and the others. His chin made a sound of ba da da da, as if it was going to fall at any moment, making for an extremely frightening sight.
"Kill them!" Rong Huan Xuan issued his order.
Xiu, that Corpse Soldier instantly jumped up, charging towards Ling Han and the others.
"A mere second-tier Bronze-armored corpse!" Ling Han hump. His sword left its scabbard and pierced towards the Corpse Soldier. With a ting, his blade swiped the bone on the Corpse Soldier's chest, creating a line of sparks.
The bones of the Corpse Warrior actually remained unharmed, which was beyond Ling Han's expectations.
"Haha. This second-tier Armored Corps warrior had just consumed enough blood and flesh and was about to evolve to the third level, so how could it be so easily harmed by a piece of trash in the first layer of a Tier Element Gathering like you?" Rong Huan Xuan said coldly, not moving to disturb.
Actually, he was at the Gushing Spring Tier. If he decided to make a move, then he would definitely be much stronger than the second armored Corpse.
Shua, that Corpse Soldier extended a clawed hand towards Ling Han's heart. His movements were ferocious and deadly.
Ling Han humped, and his figure swung, completely dodging the Corpse of the Warrior and coming face to face with Rong Huan Xuan.
"Then I'll—" he jumps high— "directly" – his sword slashes— "kill you!" Six flashes of Sword Qi appeared in a dance towards him.
This slash was powerful and graceful, and completely surpassed Rong Huan Xuan's imagination. How could it circle around the second-tier Bronze-armored Corpse and appear right in front of it? When he jolted out, the sword along with the power of six flashes of Sword Qi had appeared right in front of him.
One had to understand that even though Ling Han seemed to only be at the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier, his true ability was at the level of the first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier. Moreover, his battle prowess was even some Battle Stars on top of that. How could his attack be easily blocked by the second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse?
Rong Huan Xuan had paid the price to belittle Ling Han.
But he was also a person who had crawled out of trouble and had his own strong will. In the face of danger, he had instead become very calm. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a shrill whistle.
However, the ancient letter also disappeared slowly. By the time the Sword Qi was completely destroyed, the ancient letter had also quickly vanished.
Rong Huan Xuan had already retreated thirty feet. A faint flush appeared on his face and he looked slightly healthier than before, but the killing intent in his eyes was also much stronger, as if he wanted to swallow Ling Han whole.
"Source Corpse Qi?" Ling Han gave his fertile sword, and said with a hint of pity, "I never thought that a martial artist at the fifth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier like you would successfully form a Source Corpse Qi." Otherwise, he would have used the Three Black Origin Styles instead of attacking casually like he had just done.
"You even know about Source Corpse Qi?" Rong Huan Xuan looked extremely shocked.
Ling Han guessed that he was the heir of the Thousand Corpse Sect through the appearance of the Armored-Bronze Corpse. This was still easily accepted, as the Thousand Corpse Sect had been very "famous" in the past, so they must have left behind a lot of legacies.
However, Source Corpse Qi. . . This was a secret technique of the Thousand Corpse Sect. If it wasn't someone who was very familiar with the Thousand Corpses Sect, there was no way he would have known about it.
Ling Han smiled calmly, and said, "You're almost dead, so what's the point of saying so much nonsense?"
Rong Huan Xuan looked furious seeing this. He was an elite at the fifth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier. He had only fallen to Ling Han's attack earlier because he had not expected that Ling Han would be so powerful, so how could he possibly make the same mistake the second time around?
"You're a little weird. You are clearly at the first layer of a Tier Element Gathering, but your abilities are comparable to the first layer of a Tier Spring Gushing." He nodded in, then smiled coldly. "But I am at the fifth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, and it will be very easy for me to subdue you!"
"Is that so?" When Ling Han was at the fourth layer of the Tier Element Gathering, he did not curl up in front of the elite of the first layer of Tier Gushing Spring. Now that he was at the tenth layer of the Element Gathering Tier, he naturally would not be afraid of fighting with opponents in the fifth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier.
"Since the second bronze-armored corpse can't do anything to you, then what about the third-tier one?" Rong Huan Xuan laughed. He pulled sharply with his right hand. Qiang, qiang, qiang. A crisp sound of chains rang out, as if something heavy was being dragged out, and surprisingly, it appeared three copper coffins.
"Three bodies?" Ling Han's eyes turned worried, and he couldn't help but frown. "I never thought you'd actually manage to cultivate three corpses!"
Every disciple of the Thousand Corpse Sect used Corpse Soldiers as their main weapon, and in theory, the more Corpse Soldiers possessed, the better. But in truth, there was a limited number of Corpse Soldiers that any disciple could control.
Because after the Corpse Warrior was successfully screened, it was equivalent to obtaining a second life. Although it was only left with a bloodthirsty instinct, it was also violent and ferocious, so how could it possibly be willing to remain under the control of others? The disciples of the Thousand Corpse Sect needed to use their Source Corpse Qi to control the Corpse Warrior, but it was extremely difficult to form a Source Corpse Qi. So, of course there was a limit to the number of Corpse Armies that could be controlled.
Normally, those in the Element Gathering Tier could only control one, those in the Gushing Spring Tier could control two, respectively, and only when one reached the Spiritual Ocean Tier could he control three.
Rong Huan Xuan was only at the fifth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, yet he had somehow cultivated three Warrior Corpse. This is so weird.
Ling Han was surprised, and Rong Huan Xuan was even more astonished, as Ling Han was even aware of the limitations of cultivating the Corpse Army! The reason why he was able to cultivate three corpses was because he had obtained the entire inheritance of the Thousand Corpses Sect, which included precious treasures. This was what allowed him to cultivate an additional Corpse Warrior at the Gushing Spring Tier, and as his cultivation level increased, the number of Corpse Warriors he could control would further increase, and being double the number of ordinary disciples the Thousand Corpses Sect would be able to control.
He humped, and declared, "You're so weird, and I have to eliminate you!" He clapped his hands onto the copper coffin in the middle, and peng, the lid of the coffin was instantly thrown away the moment another Corpse Warrior jumped out of the coffin.
"Third-layer Bronze armored corpse!" he declared arrogantly.
