I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 491
Chapter 491: Powerful Evil Corpse, Corpse Refining Formation
“Hehe, I didn’t expect to have a feast just after dessert.
I was just feeling unsatisfied when you little lambs suddenly appeared.
Looks like my luck is about to change!”
A cold voice echoed through the village, its location elusive and uncertain.
“Who?!”
Mu Tian and the others were startled. The voice was unnaturally cold, as if it contained some kind of mental attack, chilling their nerves.
“Hehe, if you want to see my true form, then take care of these little treasures of mine first.”
The voice remained elusive.
But as it finished, a scene that horrified Mu Tian and the others unfolded.
A black aura drifted past, and the mummified corpses lying scattered along the village road suddenly began to stir.
Slowly rising from the ground, shrouded in a black aura, they slowly approached them.
Their faces were hideous, their hands drooping, their nails long and black, like those of a demon.
“Oh no! It’s the evil corpse-refining technique!”
Mu Tian and his companions were horrified by the horrific scene.
They were certain that these people had been completely dead, without a trace of life left in them.
But now, the once-dead corpses were reanimating.
There was only one explanation:
they had encountered a demonic cultivator practicing the corpse-refining technique!
A few years ago, when the evil cultivators were at their most rampant, a cultivator skilled in corpse-refining techniques appeared. He manipulated dozens or even hundreds of corpses, besieged a small town, and slaughtered thousands of residents, shocking the world.
Although the cultivator was later slain, his evil corpse-refining techniques left a lasting impression on the sects that participated in his destruction.
The corpses he manipulated were incredibly powerful, no less formidable than ordinary cultivators.
“Everyone, be careful! These evil corpses, refined by this evil technique, are not only incredibly powerful but also as hard as iron. Their claws are also laced with a deadly poison. Be careful not to get hurt by them.
Otherwise, the corpse poison will enter your body, and even spiritual power will be extremely difficult to resist!”
Mu Tian immediately issued a warning.
As he finished speaking, the previously slow-moving corpses in front of him suddenly erupted.
Their speed suddenly increased, and in an instant, they pounced upon the group.
Their black claws, slicing with powerful gusts of wind, clawed at Mu Tian and the others.
Their speed was as fast as that of a martial arts master who had reached the Perfection of the Postnatal Realm!
“Attack! Show no mercy! Their heads are their most vulnerable!”
Mu Tian roared, his longsword in hand leading the charge, unleashing streams of sword energy that swept across the corpses before him.
Simultaneously, the others joined in the attack.
In an instant, sword energy and energies erupted, blasting towards the surrounding evil corpses.
Following Mu Tian’s command, the majority of their attacks were aimed at the corpses’ heads.
Only Lu Qing stood still, motionless.
The weakest of those present were at the Minor Succession of the Innate Realm.
Their sword energy was undeniably fierce, and their control over their power was equally powerful.
While these evil corpses were fast, they were still inert creatures, unresponsive to change.
Therefore, their attacks rarely missed, all of them hitting the corpses and forcing them back completely.
However, with a series of muffled thuds, Mu Tian and his companions were shocked to discover that
their sword energy, when it struck the evil corpses’ heads, had not immediately split their skulls. Instead,
it had left deep scars that could be seen through the bones, but it had not been able to completely kill them.
“What!”
Mu Tian and his companions were shocked. They had not expected the skulls of these evil corpses to be so hard.
Their sword energy could not penetrate them.
The evil corpses felt no pain. After being cut back by the sword energy, they simply shook their heads, roared, and pounced again.
Mu Tian and the others, unable to remain stunned, launched their swords again.
This time, they also forced back the evil corpses, leaving numerous wounds on their heads.
But then, something even more astonishing occurred to Mu Tian and the others.
They saw streams of black energy emanating from the corpses.
Wherever they passed, the wounds inflicted by their swords healed rapidly.
“So formidable?”
Mu Tian’s heart sank at the sight.
These evil corpses were far more formidable than he had expected.
Though still at the Acquired Realm, their bodies were incredibly resilient, capable of withstanding their swords’ auras.
This was truly terrifying. Furthermore, their sheer numbers, combined with their fearlessness,
made them incredibly difficult, even with all his backup plans .
Even more unsettling was the question of what level of strength they possessed to be able to create such terrifying beings.
At this thought, Mu Tian began to consider retreat.
He immediately declared, “Everyone, this evil cultivator is strange and formidable. We should retreat first!”
“Alright!”
Zhao Feng and the others were also horrified by the situation before them.
These evil corpses were indestructible, but if they were caught and the poison entered their bodies, they would be in great trouble.
Furthermore, there was an unknown evil cultivator nearby, lurking in the shadows.
So, upon hearing Mu Tian’s call to retreat, they immediately agreed. They
combined their strength, unleashing a flurry of sword energy, forcing the evil corpses back and preparing to depart.
“You want to escape? Have you asked me?”
However, the evil cultivator wouldn’t let them go so easily.
With a cold snort, a black light appeared around Qiujia Village, accompanied by a series of runes that sealed off the entire village.
“Oh no! It’s a formation!”
Mu Tian’s face changed drastically upon seeing this.
He finally understood why these mummies were so powerful.
It turned out they were secretly being empowered by a formation.
“You’re quite knowledgeable. You actually knew it was a formation!” a cold voice echoed from the darkness. “If that’s the case, why don’t you surrender quickly? Otherwise, I’ll make you like these pariahs!”
“Everyone, we’re in real trouble now. The other party is probably an evil cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage!”
Mu Tian’s face had turned ashen.
To be able to set up such a large-scale corpse refining formation, the other party was probably no longer an evil cultivator at the Innate Realm, but rather a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, a level higher than theirs!
Foundation Establishment stage!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng and the others trembled violently, horror in their eyes.
If the other party was at the Foundation Establishment stage, wouldn’t they be defeated right here?
Everyone was well aware of the power of the Foundation
Establishment stage. After all, their respective sects had masters at this level.
They were so powerful that they could not even match them.
“Oh, you can actually guess my realm! Boy, are you disciples of a sect? Then I’ll make it even harder for you to stay!”
The cold voice from the darkness also sounded surprised. They
immediately realized that the identities of these people before them must be extraordinary, likely disciples of a major sect.
He immediately became furious, knowing he couldn’t continue playing around.
Otherwise, if things dragged on for too long, who knew if any of these youngsters had any other senior disciples nearby.
As the evil cultivator chanted, the surrounding black light suddenly brightened.
A thick black aura emerged from the ground, pouring into the bodies of the evil corpses.
Aided by this black aura, the evil corpses roared wildly, as if they had consumed some powerful tonic.
The aura emanating from their bodies surged exponentially!
