The Corpse Daoist Emerges, the Mysterious Bone Ring

The valley after the heavy rain looked exceptionally fresh, with a layer of misty fog rising from it.

The water sloshed within the massive sword-marked ravine, exuding a chilling aura.

A gentle breeze blew, and a few birds flew across the valley, leaving only a few clear chirps.

At the valley entrance, behind a tree, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu concealed themselves, donned spirit-blocking robes, and began circulating the Great Turtle Aura-Hiding Art.

Both of them seemed to be running out of patience at this point.

They have been waiting here for five and a half days, and Ye Jingcheng has now almost finished training the Golden Falcon.

Even if he's not completely proficient, he should be able to deliver a fatal blow to the Corpse Daoist at a crucial moment.

However, to their surprise, the Corpse Daoist still hadn't appeared.

"Jingcheng, there are only three hours left. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, let's wait another quarter of an hour." Ye Xingliu took out the Lineage Token and transmitted his voice to Ye Jingcheng.

Although he trusted Ye Jingcheng's intuition, if they were delayed in getting out, they might remain trapped in this second-tier secret realm indefinitely.

You should know that this secret realm is located in the Taihang Mountain Range, Taiyi Sect may not open it again for another ten or twenty years.

If that's the case, they might grow old and die here.

Therefore, they cannot gamble that this Corpse Daoist has other ways to get out.

After all, they still needed to retrieve their respective jade tokens.

If the jade talisman doesn't match, the True Person of the Taiyi Sect might become suspicious.

Although Ye Jingcheng was somewhat annoyed, he still nodded.

The timeframe his third uncle mentioned was actually the absolute limit, leaving no room for error.

Otherwise, if it gets too late, even if they find the Corpse Daoist again, the battle will take even more time, and they might not be able to teleport out.

"Plop!" Suddenly, the sound of a drop of water falling into the puddle rang out.

Although the sound was faint, it sounded exceptionally crisp to the ears of cultivators.

Then, several "pat-pat" sounds.

Their eyes lit up immediately.

There are no other living things in this valley.

The two of them immediately looked into the valley.

Suddenly, a tattered, low-grade second-tier corpse crawled out of the crack.

The corpse had clearly been soaking in the water for a long time; as soon as it stood up, water dripped continuously.

The corpse seemed extremely stiff, like a remnant of a previous great battle. It moved with great difficulty, but it didn't take long before it crawled out of the ravine.

As soon as he stepped out, he walked blankly to the side.

Its choice of direction was extremely random, as if it were without any conscious thought. At its waist, a Storage Bag was casually hanging, as if it contained treasures.

After going in one direction, he changed to another, and finally headed towards the Array of the two people. Soon, he arrived at the Array's range.

The refined corpse remained unconscious, seemingly wandering aimlessly.

Ye Xingliu gripped the array plate tightly, while Ye Jingcheng's heart was in his throat.

Just then, with two more splashes, two more refined corpses emerged from the pool. These two refined corpses were clearly of a higher rank than the previous one, as could be seen from the corpse hair and the gleam on their bodies.

As soon as the two refined corpses appeared, they brazenly surveyed their surroundings.

After the two corpses left, a figure appeared silently.

The figure was wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe, but Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu recognized him at a glance as a cultivator from the Taiyi Sect.

Clearly, the latter had taken the Bone-Transforming Pill, which changed his appearance once again.

He put away the three refined corpses, then took out a Spirit Boat and flew towards the teleportation area.

However, before the Spirit Boat had flown three zhang away, the sky turned crimson, and an enormous crimson sun appeared at the very top.

A terrifying heat appeared, and raging flames began to ignite in the sky. The eyes beneath the Spirit-Isolating Robe were stung so badly that the person dared not look up.

"Court death!"

His hoarse voice sounded particularly grating and also revealed the identity of the Corpse Daoist.

However, with a casual wave of his hand, the Corpse Daoist summoned five spirit corpses around him.

These five spirit corpses, each only about three feet tall, looked particularly eerie, like child-shaped corpses. However, most corpses use their strong physical bodies as weapons, so these small corpses were naturally less intimidating.

However, the five Spirit Stone corpses suddenly spewed out five-colored corpse flames, enveloping them completely, and the aura they emitted was enough to be at the late stage of the second rank.

The first to fall from the sky were two Great Sun Flame Dragons, but the dragons couldn't break through the flames at all. They were slapped down by the golden and crimson spirit corpses within them, and were actually broken in two.

The massive fireball spewed by the Crimson Flame Fox behind the Flame Dragon was also dispersed by flames of different colors spewed out by the remaining two spirit corpses.

"Fellow Ye Family, why do this!" The Corpse Daoist's eyes clearly showed that he had cultivated a kind of pupil technique, and he quickly saw Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu hiding behind the formation.

At this moment, both of them are activating the Talisman Treasure.

Ye Jingcheng was activating the Ancient Monk Bell, while Ye Xingliu was activating the Flame-Separating Ruler Talisman Treasure.

Although the Corpse Daoist must have an unprecedentedly powerful Divine Sense to be able to control so many refined corpses, no matter how powerful he is, he still needs to use this kind of Talisman Treasure to isolate the Corpse Daoist's Divine Sense control.

This limits the ability of corpse refiners to act.

As soon as the Ancient Monk Bell condensed in the air, it began to release golden ripples, and the ancient bell continued to move towards the Corpse Daoist, intending to completely suppress the latter within the bell.

However, the latter simply raised his hand, and with a change of spiritual energy, it transformed into a crimson blood seal.

The Corpse Daoist's cheeks puffed out instantly, and he blew on the bloodstain, which instantly formed a blood claw that reached for the Ancient Monk Bell.

The Ancient Monk Bell was snatched away in an instant.

The blood-handed spirit also dissipated.

This scene also made Ye Jingcheng feel particularly troubled.

This Ancient Monk Bell can shatter ordinary Law Artifact and even shake one's Divine Sense.

It was easily broken now.

It seemed that the Divine Sense that was blown out had landed inside the Secret Method spiritual seal.

Besides Ye Jingcheng's Ancient Monk Bell, the Wood Giant summoned by the Three-Color Cloud Deer was even more pathetic, easily burned to ashes by a few demonic corpses.

Ye Jingcheng's expression also turned extremely ugly.

As expected, just as they had guessed, this Corpse Daoist was far more troublesome than they had imagined.

"Go!" Ye Xingliu activated the Three-Color Umbrella at that moment.

This time, the Three-Color Umbrella fell together with the Scarlet-Gold Roc in the sky.

The crimson golden feathers of the Scarlet-Gold Roc also condensed into countless crimson golden feather blades.

In an instant, it swooped down towards the Corpse Daoist.

However, at that moment, the five demonic corpses suddenly let out a strange cry.

It spat out five corpse beads, which shot towards the Scarlet-Gold Roc and the Three-Color Umbrella.

The Scarlet-Gold Roc was scorched by the three Corpse Pearls, screaming in agony. The Three-Color Umbrella also failed to perform as intended, and the Roc was sent flying, with Spirit Flames even rising from its surface.

But this wasn't what made the two of them turn pale. They noticed that the three corpses from before had somehow reappeared at the location of their Array.

The three corpses began to swell abruptly, and the next moment, boom!

It exploded open.

While their attention was on him, the Corpse Daoist secretly released the three scout corpses he had previously unleashed, which then exploded in an attempt to destroy the Great Sun Twin Dragon Formation.

The crimson in the sky indeed dissipated, and the Corpse Daoist saw the figures of Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu.

The Gold Dragon Claw and the Evergreen Sword flew in from the sky, and Ye Xingliu also unleashed the Radiant Sun Three Swords.

"I will remember the courtesy of the Ye Family!" The Corpse Daoist had no intention of resisting and simply fled.

However, before his Spirit Boat had gone far, two Great Sun Flame Dragons leaped out of the void. At the same time, a Fire-Separation Green Ox and Corpse Daoist began to stare at each other in the sky.

Li Huo's eyes darted around, but a heavy moo shattered the silence.

Surprisingly, it was the Fire-Separation Green Ox that was first injured by the Corpse Daoist's pupil technique.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu's Gold Dragon Claw and Radiant Sun Three Swords naturally missed their target.

Fortunately, the Golden-Scaled Beast and Lizard Elder controlled by Ye Jingcheng formed earth spikes that pierced the Spirit Boat, but did not harm the Corpse Daoist.

"This Array ..." The Corpse Daoist's eyes were now filled with rage. Five Five-Child Demon Corpses landed around him, and five Corpse Pearls were poised to be unleashed.

"This is indeed troublesome!" Ye Xingliu's expression was also somewhat grim. So many Spirit Beasts and Array had launched a sneak attack, yet they still hadn't succeeded.

The Array's base is made of Law Treasure- level material, so it's not so easy to destroy. What was destroyed just now was merely Ye Xingliu automatically removing a layer of illusion array.

As the array base shook, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu's figures disappeared from the array once again.

The Corpse Daoist also took out two Law Artifacts at this moment.

One item was a black ghost banner, which was somewhat similar to the ghost banner that had been destroyed by the Taiyi Sect, but its power was far inferior to that one.

The other Law Artifact was a Blackwood Ancient Sword.

It looks extremely eerie.

He first stirred up the black banner, causing the ghostly figures inside to roar, which also helped to resist the Great Sun Twin Dragon Formation.

The crimson flames and the black mist began to engulf each other.

However, the crimson light was clearly more powerful, and the ghostly faces within it continued to wail, emitting terrifying sounds.

The five demonic corpses began to spit out five corpse beads, which condensed into five strange corpse flames. The corpse flames also began to rotate continuously, forming a crimson fire monster.

This fire monster was triangular in shape, with a horse's face, a lion's body, four hooves, and its entire body was covered in multicolored flames.

It appeared dazzling yet eerie.

The fire monster raised its hand and charged towards the sky.

At this moment, two enormous Great Sun Flame Dragons descended from the sky once more, roaring as they pressed down.

They fought fiercely with the fire monster.

However, the fire monster was clearly stronger than the Great Flame Twin Dragons, and for a time the Array was suppressed.

The five demonic corpses also rushed out, abandoning their defensive stance.

It was as if the release of the corpse bead had no effect on them.

Ye Jingcheng also released his Spirit Beasts one after another: the Three-Color Cloud Deer, the Crimson Flame Fox Golden-Scaled Beast Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, the Lizard Elder, the Jade-Eyed Golden-Pupil Tiger, and the Mottled Cloud Tiger, which rushed towards the five demonic corpses.

Relying on the abundance of Spirit Beasts and the Array, they were not at a disadvantage.

Just then, the Corpse Daoist's cheeks puffed out again.

Moreover, its bulging was so pronounced that it resembled a giant toad blowing towards his black wooden sword.

The next moment, the black wooden sword transformed into a huge black heavy sword.

It shot directly through the air towards the array base where the array plate was located.

Boom!

The entire Twin Dragon Formation began to shake, much to the surprise of Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu.

Their figures reappeared. This time, Ye Jingcheng was catalyzing the Mystic Cold Seal Talisman Treasure, while Ye Xingliu was catalyzing a Thunder Hammer Talisman Treasure.

The Great Flame Twin Dragons had not yet dispersed, after all, the Array had two layers.

Within the black heavy sword, a small sword emerged and landed on the array base, instantly causing the entire Array to vanish completely.

The Great Flame Twin Dragons dispersed.

Ye Xingliu also extremely shocked at this moment.

Fortunately, the Talisman Treasure has been successfully activated.

The Mystic Cold Seal struck the Corpse Daoist first.

The enormous frost seal formed by the Mystic Cold Seal froze the surrounding area for miles around.

At the same time, a terrifying force pressed down directly.

"Clang!" The five-colored fire monster rushed towards the Mystic Cold Seal in an instant.

It should be noted that the Mystic Cold Seal is a high-grade third-tier Talisman Treasure. Even though the fire monster was extremely troublesome, it was suppressed and turned into five five-colored corpse beads.

Ye Xingliu's lightning hammer also landed.

Lightning flashed in the sky, and the lightning hammer struck the face of the Corpse Daoist.

The power of this Thunder Hammer Talisman Treasure is even greater than that of Ye Jingcheng.

It also fully revealed its spiritual power.

The lightning struck the Corpse Daoist, causing it to scream in agony.

The Corpse Daoist hurriedly took out a black spirit armor, which blocked most of the spiritual power. His figure flashed to the side like a cicada shedding its shell. Seeing that the thunder hammer was about to come again, he hurriedly ordered the Five Demon Corpses to return to defend.

But at this moment, the Spirit Beasts gave the latter no chance, holding back the five Five-Child Demon Corpses tightly.

In the sky, the Scarlet-Gold Roc and the Fire-Separation Green Ox charged one after the other toward the Corpse Daoist.

The two Spirit Beasts ' attacks were almost at their maximum speed, unleashing their full spiritual power.

Even so, the Corpse Daoist's claws suddenly lengthened, grabbed the two beasts, and flung them away.

This time, Ye Jingcheng also directly used Secret Method, sending several huge pieces of Falling Cloud Star Rock hurtling towards the Corpse Daoist.

The latter, of course, didn't care about this; with his physical body, he could withstand it.

It also waved its claws with utter casualness.

But soon, he felt a dazzling golden light.

For a moment, he even thought he had fallen into some kind of Array again.

But the golden light was too fast, so fast that he couldn't even react in time.

By the time he smashed the Falling Cloud Star Rock away, the golden light had already transformed into a small golden sword, which slashed down from its forehead.

The Corpse Daoist's corpse was split in two, but even so, the lightning hammer in the sky struck the Corpse Daoist's body once again.

The Corpse Daoist was blasted to death, beyond any hope of survival.

"Third Uncle, those five spirit corpses cannot be let go!" Ye Jingcheng took out the Blackwood Coffin and drew it towards one of the spirit corpses.

At the same time, the Three-Color Cloud Deer catalyzed the ancient tree, causing it to entwine around the remaining four corpses.

And while it was wrapping around them, it would occasionally pull out suddenly, as if sucking out the souls of those corpses.

Soon, all five demonic corpses were subdued and killed.

"Finally, we succeeded! He must be hiding inside this Bone Ring!" Ye Xingliu picked up a Bone Ring from a distance.

This Bone Ring is similar to a stone ring, and it is extremely ugly. Its surface has no Spiritual Qi fluctuations at all, just like an ordinary object.

But indeed, the only thing that survived the lightning strike was clearly the treasure that the Corpse Daoist had hidden.

"Third Uncle, we might not have enough time. Let's go!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Now they don't even have time to look at the spoils of war.

Ye Xingliu also removed the destroyed Array, and his joy vanished instantly.

His second-tier top-grade formation was actually broken by this Corpse Daoist!
