"Heh heh, I didn’t expect that after just having some dessert, a few more courses of a feast would arrive.
I was just feeling a bit unsatisfied, and suddenly, you little lambs have appeared.
It seems my luck is changing for the better!"
A cold voice echoed within the village, but its position was elusive, leaving people unable to determine its exact location.
"Who?!"
Mu Tian and the others were greatly alarmed; the voice was exceedingly chilly, seemingly containing some kind of spiritual attack that chilled their hearts and spirits.
"Heh heh, if you want to see my true form, then deal with these little darlings of mine first."
The voice remained elusive.
But as the voice fell, a terrifying scene unfolded before Mu Tian and the others.
A wisp of black qi drifted by, and those corpses lying haphazardly along the village path suddenly began to move.
Slowly they rose from the ground, enveloped in black qi, and began to close in on them.
With ferocious faces, their hands drooped, nails elongated and tinged with black, like demons.
"Not good, it’s the Corpse Refining Evil Technique!"
Mu Tian and the others were utterly shocked at such a horrifying spectacle.
They were certain that these people had all been thoroughly dead before, with no sign of vitality.
But now, these previously dead bodies had revived and were moving.
There’s only one explanation for this.
They encountered an Evil Cultivator skilled in Corpse Refining Technique!
In past years, during the peak of Evil Demon cultivators, there appeared Evil Cultivators adept in corpse refining techniques, controlling dozens of corpses to besiege a small town, slaughtering thousands of civilians, shocking the world.
Although that Evil Cultivator was later executed, the Corpse Refining Evil Technique left a deep impression on the sects that participated in the execution.
Because the corpses controlled by that Evil Cultivator were incredibly powerful, not weaker than ordinary cultivators.
"Everyone be careful, these evil corpses refined by evil techniques are not only extremely strong but also as hard as iron, and their claws are imbued with deadly poison. Do not let them harm you.
Otherwise, if corpse poison enters the body, even spiritual power will struggle to resist!"
Mu Tian immediately issued a warning.
Just as he finished speaking, the once sluggish corpses suddenly went berserk.
Their speed suddenly increased, and in an instant, they pounced at the group.
The black claws sliced through the air, slashing at Mu Tian and the others.
Their speed was not slower than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the Postnatal Realm Perfection!
"Strike, show no mercy, their heads are their weak spots!"
Mu Tian shouted loudly, his long sword slicing through the air, cutting across the advancing corpses with waves of Sword Qi.
Simultaneously, the others moved into action.
In an instant, Sword Qi and strong energy burst forth, bombarding the surrounding evil corpses.
Everyone heeded Mu Tian’s words, directing most of their attacks towards the heads of the evil corpses.
Only Lu Qing stood motionless, quietly staying in place.
All present were at least powerful at the Innate Realm Early Stage.
The lethality of their Sword Qi was unquestionable, and their control over power was equally strong.
Although the evil corpses were not slow, they were, after all, still dead things, incapable of adapting.
Thus, nearly all the attacks landed, pushing them back completely.
However, after a series of dull sounds, Mu Tian and the others were startled to discover.
Their Sword Qi, when slashing at the heads of the evil corpses, did not immediately split them open.
It only left behind deep, bone-revealing scars, but could not completely destroy them.
"What!"
Mu Tian and the others were astonished, not expecting the skulls of these evil corpses to be so hard.
Their Sword Qi couldn’t pierce through.
The evil corpses, unfazed by pain, merely shook their heads after being pushed back by the Sword Qi, then roared and charged again.
Mu Tian and the others had no time to remain shocked, slashing out Sword Qi once more.
This time, they pushed back the evil corpses again, leaving many more marks on their heads.
But immediately, an even more shocking scene unfolded for Mu Tian and the others.
Black qi surged from the evil corpses’ bodies.
Where it passed, the marks left by their Sword Qi healed rapidly.
