Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Booming sounds reverberated in the valley.
Xiao Shi and the corpse of the burly, muscular, and white-haired old man were like two savage beasts. They collided and fought intensely in the valley, causing the entire valley to tremble, and deep pits exploded in the ground.
Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong also began to fight the other two corpses that had flown out of the coffins. However, compared to Xiao Shi, Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong seemed to be having a hard time facing these two corpses. After all, these two corpses all possessed strength comparable to the peak of the Martial Demon Realm.
Moreover, their bodies were firm and sharp. It had astonishing lethality. Because there were no souls in the corpses, the soul power carried by Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong’s attacks was ineffective.
In addition, after their demon avatars were stripped away, their cultivation levels fell to the first stage of the Martial Demon Realm. This caused them to retreat repeatedly from the battle with the two corpses and be completely suppressed.
As Xiao Shi fought this corpse, he kept an eye on his surroundings. Seeing that there were no more corpses, he heaved a sigh of relief. From the current situation, it was as if every corpse here corresponded to a Martial Demon Realm cultivator who had entered this checkpoint.
As the three martial demon realm cultivators entered the valley together, three corpses rushed out of the coffin.
“If that’s the case, my previous speculation was right! The difficulty of this level did not increase.” Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
If nine corpses appeared here at once, it meant that the difficulty of this round was very likely to increase by three times. But since they corresponded to a corpse, it basically showed that the difficulty of this round did not increase at all.
From the strength of these corpses, ordinary Martial Demon Realm cultivators would definitely find it difficult to deal with these corpses. Now, Xiao Shi saw that Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong were constantly retreating from the battle with these two corpses. They were no match for them at all.
Even Xiao Shi himself could only rely on his powerful body to remain undefeated. He could not suppress this corpse or free his hands to help Zhou Hong and Guan Zhihong.
Most importantly, Xiao Shi felt that this round would not be as simple as three corpses comparable to the peak of the Martial Demon Realm. From the first two checkpoints, it could be seen that the danger in these checkpoints was not only there.
The danger that was used on martial artists like them would also be targeted at those guards. Now, there was only a crisis targeting the three Martial Demon Realm martial artists. There was no crisis targeting the guards.
As he was thinking, the ground of the entire valley suddenly trembled. It was accompanied by vibrations.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Arms with rotting and livor mortis spots stretched out from the ground and pushed hard against the ground, revealing half of their bodies.
It was a pile of corpses! However, these corpses were very different from the three corpses that flew out of the coffin. The corpse in the coffin seemed to have been maintained all year round. Even with the naked eye, it was impossible to tell that it was a corpse. On the surface, he looked no different from a normal living person.
As for the corpses that crawled out from the ground, their bodies were rotting in many places. Their eyeballs were also pale and looked very terrifying.
When these corpses crawled out of the ground, they pounced at the guards. Their target was these guards.
“This checkpoint seems to be a corpse land!” Xiao Shi’s eyes turned cold. He realized that the era corresponding to this checkpoint was very likely an era related to corpses.
The most special thing was that these corpses were not controlled by souls. It was more like some kind of order had been given inside the corpses.
Even if these corpses did not have intelligence and were not controlled by others like marionettes, they were not as stiff in combat as the mirror images of the previous checkpoint. Instead, they had very strong agility and rich combat experience.
Coupled with the sturdy and sharp bodies of these corpses, they possessed incomparably powerful combat strength.
Boom!!
Accompanied by a monstrous bang, Guan Zhihong, the weakest of the three, was smashed to the ground by the corpse in front of him. It smashed a deep pit in the ground. His body was fractured in many places and covered in blood. He was instantly severely injured and faced a huge crisis.
As the corpse rushed towards him again, a dark red seed suddenly appeared in Guan Zhihong’s hand at the critical moment. He flicked his finger. He shot the seed in his hand towards the corpse that was charging over.
Swoosh!
A dark red light flashed. This seed accurately hit the corpse that was charging over. The moment it touched the corpse, the seed instantly fused into the corpse. As a result, the corpse that was charging forward paused and its entire speed suddenly decreased.
Not only that, after the seed fused with the corpse, many dark red branches immediately grew at an astonishing speed from the corpse’s elbows, knees, and other joints. By the time the corpse reached Guan Zhihong, the tree branches had already formed ropes that tightly bound the entire corpse.
These branches had an extremely powerful binding power. Even with the powerful body of the corpse, it could not break free from the restraints of these branches..
