Chapter 1067: The More Beautiful, The More Dangerous
The two great experts of the Corpse Driving Sect hadn't even reacted to what the white shadow was when their bodies were struck by it. Both felt as though they had been hit by a speeding semi-truck and were sent flying on the spot, the protective Corpse Qi around them shattered by this sudden blow.
The two, who had just burst out from the vast amount of mud and sand, not to mention having no time to deliver a killing blow to Huang Sha, had not even clearly seen their surroundings before they were once again plunged into the fiercely churning mud and sand.
When the two managed to stabilize themselves, they were already deep within the dense mud and sand. Both felt their internal qi and blood churning, making them quite uncomfortable. Although they hadn't successfully dodged the sudden attack just now, they had timely used their internal power to protect their bodies; otherwise, they would surely have been injured by now.
The rage in their hearts distorted both of their expressions. One of them let out a roar as powerful Corpse Qi erupted from his body, the grayish-white energy, centered on his form, rapidly spread outwards.
The fiercely churning mud and sand were scattered, and visibility improved. This person's action wasn't merely to disperse the mud and sand, but also to force out any hidden threats within it.
As the vast amount of mud and sand was instantly dispersed, a massive figure appeared in their line of sight. It was an enormous white snake, currently raising its head high, flicking its tongue, and observing the two of them with cold eyes.
This enormous white snake was naturally Bai Xue after she had reverted to her true form. Just moments ago, Huang Sha had been protected by a green light; that too was Bai Xue, seeing Huang Sha in danger, and thus intervening to save him.
Although Bai Xue didn't know Huang Sha, she wasn't foolish. She could naturally tell that Huang Sha was on Yang Haoran's side, and if someone on her side was in danger and she could spare a hand to help, she naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
“Heh heh,” Bai Xue's voice rang out, “You two shouldn't keep hounding one person. Your opponents from now on will be me. Let me see what you two are capable of. You should give it your all. Don't hold back your attacks, because I tend to hit a bit hard. ”
Bai Xue's voice rang out. As her words fell, she abruptly swayed her serpentine body and charged towards the two of them.
Huang Sha had suffered severe injuries—Bai Xue could naturally see this—which was why she decided to take Huang Sha's place to deal with these two experts from the Corpse Driving Sect. If Huang Sha were to continue fighting these two, it would simply be sending him to his death.
Compared to Huang Sha, Bai Xue's strength was far superior. After all, she was only a step away from the Demon King realm; such strength already placed her at the peak among great demons. Furthermore, close-quarters combat was also her strong suit. Conversely, the two Corpse Driving Sect members, apart from controlling zombies, did not possess other powerful offensive magical arts. Thus, Bai Xue dealing with both of them simultaneously not only didn't fall into a disadvantage but even appeared quite relaxed.
As the two sides engaged, the momentum was even greater than when Huang Sha had fought the two, and the battle situation had reversed. Previously, the two great experts of the Corpse Driving Sect had suppressed Huang Sha, with Huang Sha passively serving as their sandbag, but now, Bai Xue was the one suppressing them. The two, apart from desperately resisting, had no chance or strength to counterattack at all.
In the area where Xiang Chuan was located, a different scene was unfolding.
Because he was willing to use talismans, Xiang Chuan not only trapped eight Corpse Ghouls but also, in a short time, shattered two Corpse Ghouls with the power of an ice talisman.
After Bai Xue and Ye Zhiqiu appeared, he again struck, turning one Corpse Ghoul into shattered ice, leaving five Corpse Ghouls remaining from the original eight.
If he had used his full strength, he could have completely made his combat achievements even more astonishing, but he didn't do so. Because the appearance of Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xue gave their side two powerful enforcers, he felt he didn't need to risk his life anymore.
After all, the blow from the Corpse Ghoul that slammed him hard into the ground just now had indeed caused him considerable damage. Coupled with his somewhat lazy nature, if he didn't have to act, and didn't have to fight desperately, that was naturally for the best.
Precisely because of this, he didn't immediately launch an attack on the remaining five Corpse Ghouls, while the five Corpse Ghouls continued to resist the restraints imposed by the ice talismans.
After a short while, cracks appeared in the ice encasing the five Corpse Ghouls. Immediately after, the ice shattered, and the trapped five Corpse Ghouls successively broke free.
This scene fell into Xiang Chuan's eyes. Xiang Chuan didn't take out any more talismans from his personal storage space. He looked towards Ye Zhiqiu's location, then, feigning an anxious expression, shouted to Ye Zhiqiu.
“Ye Zhiqiu! Come help me quickly! Look how sensible Bai Xue is! ”
Ye Zhiqiu swung his sword, once again cutting through a large swath of zombies. Still the same, whether Corpse Ghouls or Corpse Puppets, they were all cut down with a single stroke, without exception.
Xiang Chuan's anxious voice drew Ye Zhiqiu's gaze. When he looked towards Xiang Chuan's location, he happened to witness the scene of five Corpse Ghouls pouncing on Xiang Chuan.
He furrowed his brow slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to intervene and save him. He saw him thrust his sword into the ground; the hard ground was as fragile as tofu before his longsword, easily allowing the blade to sink halfway into the earth.
A sword hum resonated. The originally faint small red flowers on the sword's body now suddenly became conspicuous, vivid red and alluring. Dense clusters of small red flowers grew out of thin air on the ground in front of the sword and spread with extreme speed towards Xiang Chuan's location.
These red flowers looked exceptionally beautiful. So many red flowers gathered together gave a pleasing sensation to the eye, but usually, the more beautiful a thing, the more dangerous it is—and this seemingly gorgeous scene was precisely that. Each of these red flowers exuded formidable sword qi, appearing alluring and enchanting, yet concealing immense murderous intent.
In just a blink of an eye, the dense red flowers had spread along the ground to Xiang Chuan's location. Xiang Chuan could naturally sense the formidable sword qi emanating from these red flowers. He dared not delay even a bit and immediately dodged to the side, putting distance between himself and these terrifying yet beautiful red flowers.
Ye Zhiqiu's sword strike was not originally aimed at Xiang Chuan, thus, these red flowers didn't attack Xiang Chuan. Otherwise, it naturally wouldn't have been so easy for Xiang Chuan to successfully dodge.
The five Corpse Ghouls knew only slaughter; how could they know what was dangerous or not? Seeing Xiang Chuan dodge, they immediately changed direction and lunged towards him. As for the massive amount of red flowers rapidly spreading towards their location, they completely ignored them.
Originally, all these Corpse Ghouls had targeted Yang Haoran, but Xiang Chuan's intervention had caused them considerable damage, thus successfully drawing their hatred. Furthermore, their master was unable to split his attention to control them, leading them all to view Xiang Chuan as their attack target.
At this moment, the distance between the five Corpse Ghouls and Xiang Chuan was already quite close. Even though Xiang Chuan had dodged, he was still within the attack range of these five Corpse Ghouls. They leaped up from all directions, completely sealing off all of Xiang Chuan's escape routes, seemingly intending to eliminate him with a single blow.
However, just as the five Corpse Ghouls leaped into the air, the rapidly spreading red flowers on the ground below suddenly shot towards them. A sky full of red flowers fluttered, and the five Corpse Ghouls were enveloped by the massive quantity of red flowers.
The dense red flowers rapidly spun around the five Corpse Ghouls. Because the number of red flowers was truly too immense and dense, at a glance, besides the vivid red flowers, not a single shadow of the five Corpse Ghouls could be seen.
Although the red flowers obscured their vision and the shadows of the five Corpse Ghouls were no longer visible, the roars of the Corpse Ghouls could still be heard emanating from within the floral shroud. However, these roars sounded not just angry, but more like fear.
A few breaths later, the red flowers rapidly spinning around the five Corpse Ghouls suddenly scattered. The red flowers dissipated into specks of spiritual light, and the five Corpse Ghouls were nowhere to be seen; only a large pile of dismembered limbs and shredded flesh fell from the sky.
