The Oriole

Wu Ren glanced at Yan Yuyan, who was seriously injured and unable to get up dozens of meters away. He wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her, but he was too weak to stand up.

The Sword Qi remaining in his body from that sword finger was tearing his internal organs apart. If it weren't for the Law Power protecting him, his internal organs would have been shredded into mush.

In addition, the large hole in his right chest caused him to lose a lot of Essence Blood. He swallowed two healing pills, sat cross-legged, and tried to suppress the rampant Sword Qi in his body while controlling the wound on his right chest to reduce the loss of Essence Blood.

Suddenly, two Copper Corpse charged towards them.

Normally, Wu Ren could easily destroy these two second-tier Corpse Puppet with a wave of his hand, but now he was finding it difficult.

The sudden appearance of the two Copper Corpse also caught Yan Yuyan's attention, and she struggled to get up.

A sudden, excruciating pain struck, and she collapsed to the ground again, forced to watch helplessly as the two Corpse Puppet approached.

Fortunately, the two Corpse Puppet rushed straight at Wu Ren.

Wu Ren could only muster his remaining Law Power and strike down with his palm at the Copper Corpse that had pounced on him.

"Bang!"

The palm struck the Copper Corpse's head, but Wu Ren's injuries were too severe. The Copper Corpse only had half of its head smashed and did not lose its ability to move. It seized Wu Ren's hand and bit down with its mouth, which was now only half open.

Wu Ren winced in pain and was about to unleash a second palm strike when another Corpse Puppet pounced on him.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs, and bit down on Wu Ren's neck.

Wu Ren was terrified. He used his Law Power and slapped the second Copper Corpse with his other hand.

Before he could even take a picture of the Copper Corpse, Wu Ren's expression suddenly changed, and he became terrified.

He mobilized his remaining Law Power, but failed to suppress the violent Sword Qi within his body. The Sword Qi, like a wild beast released from its cage, was rampaging through his body.

In the blink of an eye, his internal organs were shredded into a pool of red sauce by countless Sword Qi.

Seeing that Wu Ren had completely stopped breathing, the uninjured Corpse Puppet climbed up from Wu Ren's body, its mouth still covered with blood and flesh, and turned to look at Yan Yuyan, who was dozens of meters away.

At this moment, Yan Yuyan had struggled to her feet, her only remaining right hand supporting her Smoke-Congealing Sword as she stood with difficulty.

His face, covered in blood and gore, was filled with unwavering determination.

"Roar"

The Corpse Puppet strode forward, charging towards Yan Yuyan.

Before the corpse even arrived, it raised its sharp, black claws and reached for Yan Yuyan's badly injured left arm.

A fleeting glimpse, like a flash of cold light, pierced the Ye Kong!

The Corpse Puppet was cleanly cleaved in two, its rotting internal organs and black liquid spilling everywhere.

Without the support of her longsword, Yan Yuyan fell to the ground again.

The Corpse Puppet with only half a head looked up at Yan Yuyan on the ground, its face still showing a stubborn and unyielding expression, its eyes also fixed on the Corpse Puppet dozens of meters away.

As if intimidated by Yan Yuyan's aura, or frightened by the cold light of Smoke-Congealing Sword, the Corpse Puppet carried Wu Ren's corpse and ran away.

A moment later, Song Wen took Wu Ren's corpse from the Corpse Puppet and casually pulled the storage ring off his finger.

Inserting his hand into the hole in the corpse's chest, Wu Ren's abundant Essence Blood surged into Song Wen's body. Song Wen, who was already full of Qi and Blood, felt somewhat uncomfortable from the fullness.

Wu Ren's soul, which had not yet left his body, also emerged.

"Youngster, I didn't expect it to be you again. You killed my grandson and even dared to destroy my physical body."

"Without reaching the Golden Core, you are nothing but ants. The power of Golden Core cultivator's soul is beyond the imagination of you ants."

"I will not only possess your physical body, but also imprison your soul, refine it into Soul Lamp, and let you suffer the agony of your soul being scorched by flames for all eternity."

Wu Ren's soul, carrying immense spiritual power, surged towards Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness like a raging torrent.

Song Wen curled his lip at Wu Ren's self-destructive behavior.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

"How dare you disrespect this old man..."

Before Wu Ren could finish his harsh words, he felt a terrifying suction force coming from Song Wen, causing his soul to rush towards Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

What's going on?

Feeling the powerful and irresistible suction force, Wu Ren's voice carried a hint of panic.

In an instant, his soul was absorbed into Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

An endless Black Hole, like the abyss of hell, appeared before his soul.

Wu Ren's soul was filled with terror, "What the hell is this? How can such a terrifying being exist in your Sea of Consciousness?"

At this moment, Wu Ren's arrogance and dignity as Golden Core expert were completely shattered.

"No! Please spare my soul! I don't want my soul to be scattered and never be reincarnated!"

"You have no say in this matter." Song Wen's mocking voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.

Amidst Wu Ren's terrified pleas, his soul was swallowed into the Black Hole and vanished from the world.

Song Wen put away the <Qi-Sealing Spirit-Isolating Formation>, recalled all the Black Armor Gu guarding the perimeter, then concealed his aura and let the surging torrent carry him downstream.

This place is not safe to stay!

A dozen or so breaths ago, Yan Yuyan, having temporarily brought her injuries under control, picked up her severed arm and left.

If she attracts righteous cultivators, even if she hides underwater and has the <Qi-Sealing Spirit-Isolating Formation> to isolate her aura, it's not safe. There's no guarantee that those righteous cultivators won't venture deep into the river and search every nook and cranny.

Song Wen had been in the river for three days and three nights, and the constant churning and churning of the water made Song Wen feel dizzy. But the current wasn't fast, and he estimated that he had only gone down the river for about a thousand miles.

He carefully released the Black Armor Gu. After devouring and digesting Wu Ren's soul, his Divine Sense advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and his Divine Sense detection range expanded to a distance of three miles.

With the help of the Black Armor Gu, he could detect all movements within a radius of twelve miles, a detection range that was no weaker than that of some Golden Core cultivators.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Song Wen poked his head out of the river.

He climbed out of the river, his wet clothes clinging to his body and making him feel uncomfortable. He circulated his spiritual energy, and a large amount of water vapor rose up, instantly drying his clothes.
