"If you don't believe me, you can see it for yourself. Try absorbing a little power from the Gory Wind
Source, and you'll surely feel it," Laura instructed Audrey, who appeared reluctant to believe.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" answered Audrey enthusiastically. The truth was that she itching to have a try
since she thought it would grant her a lot of benefits.
Once Ricky gave his permission, Audrey drew a tiny amount of power from his Gory Wind Source.
However, as soon as the power entered her body, Audrey felt like she was trapped in a world full of
killing, and she was immediately overwhelmed. Her head throbbed like it was about to explode, while
her meridians expanded as if they would burst any moment.
It was lucky that she drew only a minute amount of that power, or else it might have killed her on the
spot. She then used all her strength to push out the power she had stubbornly taken. The pain
dissipated as soon as the power disappeared.
"That was horrible! The massacring power felt like it was trying to tear me apart," Audrey gasped out as
she grasped her chest with her trembling hands.
"Well, do you believe me now?" Laura asked dryly with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, yeah. I believe you," agreed Audrey, sounding breathless and still in a state of shock.
"Soar, you must be careful when you refine that power. Its blood vitality is so potent that it might corrupt
your mind if you aren't careful," Laura reminded Ricky, looking at the boy seriously.
"Thank you for reminding me. I promise I'll be very careful," responded Ricky.
After that, Audrey led the group forward as they continued looking for more tokens.
They needed to find one more token, at the least, because Helen also wanted to participate in the Misty
South Palace's selection.
After traveling for a few days, the group arrived in the depths of the Corpse Lair.
Of course, they had encountered a lot of dangerous things along the way. They ran into two hordes of
powerful Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies.
As it was, these zombies didn't have psychic intelligence, so the group could run away from them.
In addition, Audrey's Sense Mutant helped them conceal their auras, which allowed them to escape the
zombies undetected. That meant they had nothing to fear unless they came upon incredibly powerful
zombies. As they went on their way, they also noticed other people, who weren't in their group, as they
met their tragic ends.
The group tried to save some of those warriors as best as they could, but some unavoidably fell into
the hands of the strong zombies. In the more gruesome instances, Ricky and his companions could
only watch in horror, as these zombies tore those hapless warriors into shreds.
Finally, they arrived at another blood-colored space where Audrey sensed the tokens near a crevice.
They had already gone deep into the Corpse Lair. They made it so far that the only people who could
rival them would probably be the members of the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe.
In this place, the growls and snarls of the zombies echoed eerily from time to time.
As they traveled longer and longer, they noticed that the deeper they went into the Corpse Lair, the
more zombies were there.
"The token must be in the center of this space. But before we get to it, there are some obstacles we
need to face," Audrey informed them with a frown.
"What are you talking about?" asked Laura at once, looking perplexed and alarmed.
But before her voice disappeared, shrill roars resounded through the air, and massive figures jumped
out of the blood-colored gorge.
They were none other than the zombies.
The Blood Zombies had blood-colored skin, while the Devil Zombies had darker skin that looked almost
black.
Amid the chaos, about fifty zombies abruptly appeared, surrounding them in a wall of crimson and
black.
But Ricky and his companions shifted their gazes on the two bigger zombies positioned in front of the
zombies, who seemed to be their leaders. One was a Blood Zombie and the other was a Devil Zombie.
Both the two stood twice as tall as their own kind, leaving no doubt that these two were the strongest.
Judging from their auras, the two leaders both had the strength of the one-star middle spiritual emperor
at peak state.
"I can sense two tokens inside those two's bodies," Audrey told her companions and pointed at the two
bigger zombies.
"Leave them to me," declared Ricky in a low voice. "Wait, Soar! You have already done so much for us.
We'll take care of them ourselves.
Although we couldn't handle the blood-colored wind, I assure you we can deal with these zombies
ourselves," Laura responded immediately, shaking her head at Ricky.
"Okay!" When Ricky saw how determined Laura and Helen looked, he decided not to insist on helping.
In the next breath, Laura, Helen, and four more disciples of the Abstinent Sect made their moves.
The six of them stood in a specific formation, their auras and strength connected, as they suddenly
made a series of gestures. In the span of mere seconds, bright white energy simultaneously burst out
from their bodies.
This white power was the pure mind-clearing power.
As soon as the mind-clearing power made its appearance, the blood-colored light in the surroundings
began to quickly recede.
Ricky felt it affect him too, as the Devourer Zone in his body rejected the said power to a great extent.
"The mind-clearing power is one of the purest powers in the world. It has the ability to restrain evil," the
Dragon Intent Grass softly told him.
"I see. No wonder my Devourer Zone seems to hate it," Ricky replied, nodding to himself.
Meanwhile, the six women were still working together, and through their efforts, white runes emerged
among the mind-clearing power. These runes attached themselves unto these zombies as soon as
they made contact with the latter, spreading all over in an instant.
At the same time, drops of blood essence surfaced from between the six women's eyebrows and
enhanced their powers.
"The Mind-clearing Spell they cultivated is an old Omnipotent Skill, and it allows them to summon the
purest power in the world. Those white runes you see are the powers that they called upon. An ancient
spell like this can effectively restrain evil.
I think it would be a good idea for you to learn some so that you can avoid losing control," the Dragon
Intent Grass suggested.
"Hmm... You have a point, but I'm not sure if I have the time to cultivate it," answered Ricky thoughtfully.
"Besides, even if I wanted to, I can't force them to teach me."
"Whatever. I told you my idea, so it all depends on you now," the Dragon Intent Grass said in the end.
It only wanted Ricky to cultivate the Mind-clearing Spell because it was concerned that the Devourer
Zone might corrupt him too much.
However, since Ricky refused to learn it, there was nothing more it could do.
At that time, the Mind-clearing Spell's power had fully blanketed the zombies, and they began growling
in pain. They struggled to get rid of the spell's power, but nothing they did could lessen its effect.
In just a matter of minutes, the zombies began to dissipate down to their hard bones.
"I can't believe the Mind-clearing Spell is this powerful!" Ricky exclaimed in disbelief when he saw what
happened. The marvelous power had defeated these zombies so quickly!
"As I mentioned earlier, the mind-clearing power and evil powers mutually reinforce and neutralize each
other. The weaker one will cancel the other. Since the six girls are very powerful, they can turn these
zombies to ashes using the Mind-clearing Spell. However, if they were weaker than those zombies,
they would have been obliterated instead,"
the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"The mind-clearing power is amazing indeed. I should avoid using the Devourer Zone's power if my
opponent cultivates the mind-clearing power then," Ricky remarked almost to himself.
"You can also use it even if your opponent has the mind-clearing power, as long as you are stronger
than them," the Dragon Intent Grass added, hearing his words as well.
The moment that the Mind-clearing Spell's power struck the zombies, the latter vanished into thin air,
all except for the two most powerful ones.
It was evident that the six women couldn't take down the two leaders using the mind-clearing power
alone.
"The victory over those two strongest zombies depends on Laura and Helen. Since they knew the
Mind-clearing Spell, their powers would be affected less in such a terrible environment. It is even
possible that they would not be affected at all," said the Dragon Intent Grass.
"This is exciting! I'm really curious about what mutants Helen and Laura possess. Now, I have a chance
to see it in action," Ricky eagerly remarked.
Laura and Helen didn't dare to underestimate the two powerful zombies' strength. Thus, once the pair
burst out their momentums, they immediately revealed their mutants.
