Tianwei Chapter 230: Emerging into Prominence (5)
The man on the ground was trembling all over. I heard him make a sound that was very low and deep, and I couldn't tell what he was trying to say. Maybe he was protesting, trying to resist, or maybe he was afraid?
The red-haired corpse flew backwards for more than ten meters and could only shake continuously but could not stand up after falling to the ground, which showed the old Taoist's attitude. He was not afraid of offending anyone, no matter if you were a human, a corpse, a small person , or a big force.
For him, the greatest meaning of life is to beat up everyone who insults him and the Five Elements Meridian one by one.
The old Taoist just looked down at the disciples of the Secret Corpse Vein, with his hands behind his back, and said softly: If you behave disrespectfully again, I will kill you.
This voice was also very low and deep, and no one else could hear it except me and that person. But even I felt a chill all over my body when I heard the Taoist priest say such terrible words in a calm tone and low voice.
Not far away, in the secret corpse vein, which was dozens of meters away from us, several people were about to rush over with angry faces. There were three kinds of light on their bodies, red, green and yellow. Obviously, there were also zombies lurking around them.
However, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a strong body stretched out his hand to stop them and whispered a few words. I heard Zhong Jiutian and others who were more than 20 meters away from them laughed and said all kinds of mocking words. Most of the sentences said that the secret corpse veins did not dare to fight with the old Taoist, and their balls were shrunk into their buttocks.
In short, the words were as unpleasant as they could be, and this made the people of the Secret Corpse Vein even more angry.
Let's go. The Taoist priest said to me, then turned and left.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at the person kneeling in front of me, and involuntarily followed the Taoist's words, withdrew my Taoist power, walked past that person and walked forward.
As I walked, I kept looking back worriedly, fearing that someone would attack me.
After I withdrew the power, the man trembled and slowly stood up. His face was full of humiliation and resentment, but his eyes full of hatred only stared at the old Taoist without any other movements.
I took two quick steps to catch up with the old Taoist and asked in a low voice: You made such a big noise right away, aren't you afraid that they will surround you soon.
They won't. The old Taoist priest said calmly: If they are willing to give up the opportunity to completely crush the three veins, then they will not be far from death. You did a good job, but you should be more decisive. Even if you don't kill him, you should hurt him. Otherwise, once your Taoist power is exhausted, you will not be able to withstand his counterattack.
I nodded in silence. The old Taoist was right. But my mentality had not yet completely changed to that of a practitioner. It was very difficult, very difficult, for me to really use force...
Most practitioners have the power of Taoism. If they have more experience, they will be like ordinary practitioners. You have less experience than them, so in addition to being cautious, you must be more ruthless. The old Taoist paused, then continued: But if I can also be ruthless, perhaps...
He didn't finish his words because we had already walked up to the three meridians.
Zhong Jiutian and his men came forward, his face full of surprise and excitement: I didn't expect that such an expert could come, you were not...
He went to save me. The old Taoist raised his chin towards me and signaled to everyone.
So that's how it is... Zhong Jiutian looked at me with some surprise, then he smiled and bowed to me: Congratulations, brother, you have exhausted your power and inherited the Eight Ropes, which is well-deserved. It seems that your lineage will still be able to dominate the world in the future.
I was delighted but also a little embarrassed, so I returned the gift to Zhong Jiutian and said "thank you for the compliment".
This is great, with the help of a master, our victory...
I am not here to help you. The old Taoist interrupted Zhong Jiutian directly. Under the surprised gaze of the people around him, he looked at the people from the Secret Corpse Vein and said: I am only here to teach them a lesson. Your own right and wrong has nothing to do with me.
Zhong Jiutian still had a smile on his face and said: "Okay, okay, as long as the master can come, hahahaha..."
After a few people were stunned for a moment, they figured it out and couldn't help laughing. However, the disciples of the Secret Corpse Vein on the opposite side looked as if they had eaten a fly. Most people cast their eyes on the old Taoist, and the look in his eyes was as sharp as a knife.
I looked around. Although there were more than 20 people from the three sects, there was no sign of Yuwen Ying.
Yuwenying hasn't come yet? I asked.
Yuwen is on his way to find help, so I wonder if he can make it in time, Zhong Jiutian replied.
I said "oh" and focused my attention on the big pit next to me.
This pit didn't look like it was dug by humans. The pit walls were smooth, as if someone had poked it up from the ground with a thick stick. It was very dark below, and I couldn't see the bottom. I could only vaguely see a little purple light.
This is somewhat different from what I saw in my field of vision. I looked at it for a few seconds and asked curiously: Is this the pit where the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse was unearthed?
That's right. Hearing this topic, Zhong Jiutian's face suddenly flushed, and he said: When I first found out about this news, I couldn't believe it. At my age, I can only live for another ten or twenty years at most. I didn't expect that at this time I would get the news that the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse is about to be unearthed. This is the most powerful corpse in my Heavenly Corpse Vein, with the Purple Flame of the Netherworld. In the generations before me, I have only heard of it, but no one has ever seen it. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it, hahahaha...
Zhong Jiutian burst into laughter. At this time, someone from the Secret Corpse Vein said: It is indeed a great blessing for our Heavenly Corpse Vein, but things are unpredictable. It is hard to say whether the head of the Zhong family can get it.
Zhong Jiutian's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and ignored the words on the other side. He turned to look at the old Taoist, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
I naturally understood what he wanted to say, but looking at the old Taoist's expression, it was clear that he didn't intend to intervene too much. Even if a fight broke out, whether he would really fight was another matter.
Has anyone ever been down this pit? I asked, deliberately changing the subject.
Occasionally, purple flames would appear, burning everything. I lost two disciples. Zhong Jiutian said.
Oh... I nodded and looked into the deep pit a few more times: Since you have never been down there, how do you know it must be the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse?
The Zhong family's celestial corpses are based on the law, and they are connected to each other. I guess the Zhong family master brought the Qing Fu celestial corpse with him. The old Taoist priest interrupted.
A master is a master, and what he knows is far beyond people's imagination. Zhong Jiutian laughed again, deliberately complimenting him.
The old Taoist looked at the black pit and said nothing . Zhong Jiutian said: It is indeed the Qing Fu Tian Corpse that has made a connection, and it is confirmed that there is a Zi Fu Tian Corpse below.
"Then what are you waiting for here?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
Little brother, you don't know. Zhong Jiuwen said solemnly: The purple flame of the netherworld is too powerful, and this purple talisman corpse was left behind at some point. Although we have a method to collect it, it is useless before the corpse is fully awakened. And the purple flame of the unawakened corpse cannot be controlled. Almost no one in the world can withstand it. Therefore, we can only wait for its mind to open up before we can collect it with the ancient method left by our ancestors.
I see... I nodded, then shook my head. If Zhong Jiutian hadn't been able to confirm what was underneath, I might have been able to use the Tongming Jade Pendant to help him take a look. But now that he has confirmed it, if I investigate further, it would be like peeping, and I would be peeping right under his nose.
Therefore, I turned my attention to the secret corpse vein again.
There were four people standing there. If we count the people who were defeated by the old Taoist before, there were five people from the Secret Corpse Vein this time. Almost every one of these people had a zombie in his hand, and the power of the zombie was far more powerful than that of an ordinary zombie.
Maybe it's not as good as the Qingfu Tianshi or the top-level Bronze Armored Corpse, but it's not something that ordinary people can deal with.
The old Taoist priest dealt with one, the Qing Fu Tian Corpse dealt with one, and Yu Wenying's Jin Ling Corpse dealt with one. What about the remaining one? It was obviously not reliable to let Zhong Jiutian and the others fight with their flesh and blood. No wonder Yu Wenying looked for people everywhere and put his plan on the old man from Yuanling.
If Wei Qingcang were here, two mere unformed zombies shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Alas, it’s a pity that this guy is missing. He really failed at the critical moment and got diarrhea when sprinting to the finish line.
I shook my head, moved closer to Zhong Jiutian, and asked in a low voice: Can these few people deal with the Secret Corpse Vein?
The old Taoist hummed softly, as if expressing dissatisfaction with me. I stuck out my tongue slightly and laughed awkwardly. Zhong Jiutian sighed, glanced at the old Taoist, and said: Even if the red-haired corpse lost its combat power, we are still slightly inferior. What's more...
Zhong Jiutian scanned the front right with a very obscure look, and whispered: I suspect that there may be someone hidden in the Secret Corpse Vein. My Qingfu Heavenly Corpse is only fourth in the current Heavenly Corpse Vein's combat power, and the Yuwen Family Master's Golden Wing Corpse is seventh. In addition, the top ten positions are occupied by corpses from the Secret Corpse Vein. Among the people who came now, there are not many real masters, and the most powerful Heavenly Cultivation Corpse and Red Hair Corpse have not appeared.
The green ghost corpse that injured the Taoist priest is said to have also taken shape...
That's right, it's the third one. Zhong Jiutian looked a little unnatural: The Secret Corpse Vein had retreated for hundreds of years, and over the years, there have been countless wars, large and small, which have condensed many extremely powerful ghost lands. The green ghost corpse was catalyzed by the three ghost lands and had been formed decades ago. However, combat power cannot be determined by a single method. If there were two or more golden-winged corpses in the Walking Corpse Vein, how could it only be ranked seventh?
That's true. I nodded. If there were two or three Golden Winged Corpses to form a Corpse Formation, I'm afraid the same number of zombies would not be their match. But that's the reality. Just because you think it's unfair doesn't mean it's fair, because in reality, unfairness is a kind of fairness.
This may sound a bit confusing, but it is true.
So how can this Purple Talisman Sky Corpse be ranked first? I asked curiously.
Of course, this is the most powerful corpse in my Heavenly Corpse Vein, and it is almost invincible in a single fight. The purple flame of the netherworld, even the top copper-armored corpse cannot withstand it for a long time. As long as we get the purple talisman heavenly corpse that can burn everything, we can stand firm. My Zhong family...
Zhong Jiutian stopped talking abruptly, because the following words were no longer suitable for this occasion.
