Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

A Present for Celestial Star Sect

Greater Heaven Caster Lu entered first. He took a moment to regain awareness of his surroundings upon seeing the ridiculous game being played. He warned, “Let me warn you that they have only lost their ability to attack. Do not touch them when walking by, and do not use your spiritual energy. If your spiritual energy modifies the formation, you and I will be doomed.”

Greater Heaven Caster Lu delivered his fib convincingly. The fact that he managed to escape with his life consolidated his authority on the matter. Only Zhou Jinglin didn’t buy the story. Speaking out after what he did, though… so he didn’t verbalise his argument.

Some yin corpses sat on the ground, while some sat in the air. To fly past them would’ve been a daunting task due to their sheer numbers. As such, Greater Heaven Caster Lu walked around the yin corpses. The others figured Greater Heaven Caster Lu walked for a reason and followed suit. The twelve didn’t run into any trouble until one suddenly grabbed onto Tian Budai’s leg with a vice-like grip.

Tian Budai discharged energy from his leg, crushing the hand. The yin corpses stopped clapping and looked over as did his allies. It was the worst juncture to run into trouble. As the individual with the highest status among them, they expected Tian Budai to lash out, yet he calmly explained, “It caught my leg.”

The twelve prepared themselves for a scrap, but the yin corpses linked hands and formed three circles. The yin corpses pranced around as if the twelve at the centre was their bonfire.

“Oi, Xiaoshuai, is this the game you were talking about? It’s woefully lame,” complained Mu Yu, thumping his forehead.

“Relax. Even the army corps would get tired fighting them all together. We need to split them up and engage them in guerrilla warfare,” Xiaoshuai enthused with a sly smile.

“Aaahh, you sneaky little… Remember not to hurt Greater Heaven Caster Lu.”

The twelve refrained from initiating an attack and maintained a high degree of vigilance. Tian Budai’s reaction also warned them not to act rashly. They were separated to make way. Meanwhile, more and more yin corpses crawled out.

“Everyone, gather around. Don’t let them separate us!” Tian Budai commanded.

Tian Budai was too late for the yin corpses already started mumbling – if you could’ve called it that – and segregated them before they could regroup. The yin corpses danced around each individual and would occasionally harass them with leg kicks. It was such a farcical sight that the yin corpses’ appearances weren’t intimidating.

As veterans of their fields, Zhou Jinglin and Greater Heaven Caster Lu had a suspicion – somebody was controlling the Yin Corpse Formation.

“Okay, let’s get this show on the road now. Brothers, charge! For every piece of flesh you bite off Celestial Star Sect’s members, I’ll give you some of dark herb’s black qi!” ordered Xiaoshuai.

Like water behind floodgates waiting to burst, the burning compulsion to ravage the humans burst forth.

“Young Master, run!” thundered Tian Jiancheng. He already fought the yin corpses on a previous entry; therefore, he knew his attacks wouldn’t work on them. All he could do was drive them back using brute force.

Tian Budai brought out Celestial Star Shield and Celestial Star Spear. He didn’t go on the offensive for he knew it was futile. Instead, he used his shield to prevent them from reaching him. The other members weren’t so lucky.

Two Body Severing Realm cultivators had their throats chewed out, literally. The Yin Corpse Formation added them to their yin corpse ranks. Three Spirit Severing Realm cultivators quickly fell victim thereafter.

Mu Yu felt no pity for them in spite of his dislike for murder. Unfortunately, the yin corpses weren’t able to hurt Tian Budai.

“Come over to me!” Tian Budai commanded.

Zhou Jinglin, who was closest, was first to reach Tian Budai. Two Body Synthesis Realm cultivators reached him in one piece, but two Spirit Severing Realm cultivators were bloodied by the time they arrived.

“Where’s Greater Heaven Caster Lu?! Is he the one who set us up?!” Zhou Jinglin snapped.

Tian Budai shook his head. “It wasn’t him. I saw the yin corpses swarm him. Judging from how he lost the plot, it can’t be his ploy. I wasn’t convinced he could control so many yin corpses.”

Actually, Greater Heaven Caster Lu was dragged into the hole Mu Yu was dragged into. He and the yin corpses scanned each other. Well, they pinned his limbs down… One of them performed a hush gesture robotically. He didn’t even dare to breath loudly in their presence.

Who’s controlling this formation? … Would it be Feng Mu, pondered Greater Heaven Caster Lu, unable to find any other explanation as to why they didn’t harm him. How would a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple have this level of skill, though? He should be wandering amongst them right now. Maybe the mastermind wants to help me?

Mu Yu tried sending all of the yin corpses at Tian Budai’s shield, but it was all in vain. Still, it trapped Tian Budai there. Suddenly, someone in yellow burst onto the scene. The yin corpses left the uninvited guest to his own devices as they were occupied with Tian Budai.

“Whoa! He’s fast!” exclaimed Mu Yu.

The individual in yellow quickly arrived before the city gates.
