The Corpse Coffin Overturned

Just as Zhong Liang was unsure of what to do, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound coming from behind him.

Looking back, it turned out to be Miaofa's Zen staff.

Zhong Liang hurriedly summoned a flying sword and slashed at the monk's staff.

At the same time, he quickly flipped over, passed over the Bronze Corpse Coffin, and hid on the side of the Corpse Coffin.

He knew that the flying sword he had hastily activated could not possibly withstand the full force of Miaofa's attack.

Just as he expected, the flying sword was easily knocked away by the monk's staff, which continued its momentum and smashed into the Corpse Coffin.

"When!"

A piercing, long buzzing sound rang out.

The Bronze Corpse Coffin was suddenly smashed over by the monk's staff, and the wooden statue inside slid out and rolled to Zhong Liang's feet.

Like a long-dormant Yin Soul awakened, a sinister aura emanated from the wooden statue.

Meanwhile, because the Bronze Corpse Coffin was overturned, two blood-red Jade Slips that were originally hidden at the bottom of the Corpse Coffin were exposed.

Zhong Liang was overjoyed and hurriedly put away the two blood-red Jade Slips.

Then, they quickly descended from the platform and moved away from the wooden statue.

The moment the wooden statue hit the ground, the three Copper Corpses suddenly became extremely violent. They abandoned the cultivators who had been entangled with them and attacked Miaofa.

Even the Copper Corpse trapped by the Flame Apex Whip no longer cared about the scorching flames on the Flame Apex Whip and rushed straight towards the Miaofa.

Upon seeing this, Tang Fu hurriedly released the Copper Corpse, brandished the Flame Apex Whip, and attacked Zhong Liang.

"Elder Tang, stop! We've already got the Cultivation Method. I'll make a copy for you after we get out," Zhong Liang said urgently.

"How could I possibly trust you again?" Tang Fu said angrily.

"This place is fraught with danger. Does Elder Tang intend to die here with me?" Zhong Liang asked.

Clearly, Zhong Liang had no idea what treasures were inside the Bronze Corpse Coffin before this.

He originally intended to keep the treasure for himself, but apart from the wooden statue and the two Jade Slips, there was nothing else.

Zhong Liang dared not touch the strange wooden statue, but the blood-red Jade Slip should contain the Cultivation Method that could help people break through bottlenecks. If he copied it and gave it to Tang Fu, he would not suffer any loss.

Tang Fu glanced at the three Copper Corpses that were surrounding Miaofa.

"Alright, I'll trust you one more time. But you have to give me both blood-red Jade Slips, and you can take the copy."

"Okay." Zhong Liang nodded in agreement.

"I hope you'll keep your word this time, or I'll let you taste the agony of the Flame Apex Whip burning your body."

After threatening Zhong Liang in a cold voice, Tang Fu turned to Tang Si beside him and said.

"Tang Si, lead men to attack the stone gate. Let's escape first."

The Tang Family and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, a total of eight people, jointly controlled their Spirit Artifact and attacked the stone gate.

On the other side.

The four monks, including Miaofa, were surrounded by three Copper Corpses from different directions.

"Tang Fu, Zhong Liang, you two are untrustworthy; you will surely die a horrible death."

He cursed as he activated the golden bowl, controlling a Copper Corpse.

At the same time, he also used his staff to strike another Copper Corpse.

The remaining three monks worked together to block the third Copper Corpse.

Even a single person with Miaofa is no match for two Copper Corpses.

After knocking away the monk's staff, the Copper Corpse charged at the three monks.

Upon seeing this, the three monks panicked.

In their panic, one of them made the wrong hand Method Formula.

The Copper Corpse, which had been blocked by the three men, suddenly broke free and charged at them.

Caught between the two Copper Corpses, the three monks were torn to pieces in just a few breaths.

The two Copper Corpses turned around and charged at Miaofa again.

Miaofa was greatly alarmed and threw out a bead the size of a pigeon's egg.

The beads are crystal clear and exude a serene Buddhist quality.

The bead flew to the top of Miaofa's head, and a great light of Buddha shone brightly upon it.

The three Copper Corpses, illuminated by the Buddha's light, froze in place, unable to move.

Zhong Liang and Tang Fu, who were attacking Shimen, were both shocked by what they saw.

"Relic!"

Relics are the Golden Core of Buddhist practice. After a Buddhist monk passes away, they are sealed using Buddhist and Daoist secret techniques and are generally enshrined in Buddhist and Daoist temples. They are believed to have the effect of enlightening future generations to the Buddha-nature.

Relics contain the Buddha-nature cultivated throughout a lifetime of Buddhist practice, and are sacred objects used to subdue evil spirits, zombies, and other malevolent entities.

Under the light of the Buddha, the corpses of the three Copper Corpse quickly lost their aura, and even their flesh showed signs of burning.

Seeing this, Miaofa did not attack the Copper Corpse. Instead, he activated his staff and smashed it towards Tang Fu.

"Smack!"

Tang Fu lashed out with his Flame Apex Whip, striking the monk's staff and deflecting it.

"Miaofa, do you want to die?"

Miaofa said, "You treacherous villain, you killed three of my fellow disciples! I will tear you to pieces!"

"I think it's Miaofa, a facade. If you had produced the relic earlier, your three fellow disciples wouldn't have died," Tang Fu said.

"Laugh!"

Just as Miaofa was about to activate his staff again, a crisp sound suddenly rang out from the relic on his head, and a tiny crack appeared.

"Oh no, this relic has been enshrined in the temple for too long, and its Buddha-nature is almost gone. It won't last much longer," Miaofa thought to himself.

Although the corpse energy of the three Copper Corpses has been weakened to some extent, it is still far from enough to kill Copper Corpse.

Miaofa glared at Tang Fu with resentment.

Then, between avenging his fellow disciples and saving his own life, he chose the latter.

Miaofa swung his staff and smashed it against the stone gate.

Seeing that Miaofa had stopped attacking him, Tang Fu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Under the combined assault of everyone, the stone door suddenly cracked open with a sharp sound.

Everyone was overjoyed. After another round of attacks, the stone gate finally broke open, creating an opening that allowed the two of them to pass through.

A Tang Family cultivator took the lead and rushed out.

However, what awaited him was not a path to escape, but a Corpse Puppet exuding a Sha Qi.

The Silver Corpse slashed down with its claw.

The Tang Family cultivator was immediately decapitated and fell to the ground.

The Silver Corpse stood before the stone gate, exuding an insurmountable and powerful aura.

It exudes a heroic spirit, like one man guarding a pass against ten thousand.

The more than a thousand Yellow Essence Fungus from the Su Clan, all of which contained the vital energy of youth, were refined and absorbed by the Silver Corpse.

The Silver Corpse was no longer the rotting corpse it had been before.

His skin, flesh, and internal organs had regained some vitality. If it weren't for the lack of heartbeat and breathing, he might even be mistaken for a emaciated corpse cultivator.

Song Wen stood behind the Silver Corpse and shouted loudly.

"Hand over the two blood-red Jade Slips you obtained in the stone hall, and I will let you leave. Otherwise, you will remain in the stone hall to feed the Copper Corpses."

There was Sacred Beetle Gu lurking inside the hall, and Song Wen was fully aware of what was happening inside.

Zhong Liang roared, "Wishful thinking! Get out of my way!"

Before the words were finished, a flying sword slashed out in anger.

The Silver Corpse's claws glowed with a sinister light as it lashed out.

"When!"

The flying sword was swatted away by a claw.

The Silver Corpse merely swayed its upper body, thus dissipating the impact of the flying sword, without retreating even half a step.

Just then.

The relic that had been controlling the three-headed Copper Corpse suddenly shattered, turning into dust that scattered in the air.

The Copper Corpse regained its freedom and attacked towards the stone gate.

The people inside the stone hall were immediately shocked.

Ahead lies Silver Corpse blocking the way, behind lies a deadly Copper Corpse.

"Attack him together! I don't believe he can stop all of us!" Zhong Liang shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that time was of the essence and there was no other choice.

They all began to activate their Spirit Artifact, attacking the Silver Corpse outside the door.

Song Wen sneered, "You're courting death."

With a thought, the Black-Armored Ghost King suddenly appeared, wielding a chilling ghost sword, and slashed down at the stone gate.

The Silver Corpse swung its sharp claws, unleashing three claw beams formed from corpse energy that hurtled towards the hall.
