Silver Corpse Betrays Its Master
The wooden statue was damaged, but the Blood Brow showed no anger, only joy.
"Very good, very good. I didn't expect you to know the Nine Great Heavenly Thunder Secret Arts."
"My Blood Brow is truly blessed with good fortune. My soul, sealed for tens of thousands of years, was just released from its Corpse Coffin, and I've already met someone who will help me break free from the 'Soul Shackle'."
Blood Brow laughed triumphantly.
The remaining magical patterns on the wooden statue gradually darkened and eventually turned into ordinary patterns devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations.
The wooden statue decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dust that scattered in all directions.
A beautiful, transparent female cultivator appeared in mid-air.
"How can I thank you, little one! Perhaps I should just devour your soul too. Hehehe..."
Looking at the Blood Brow spirit in mid-air, Song Wen calmed down instead.
What can a mere soul without a physical body do to me?
"Judging from your soul's form, how many bolts of divine lightning can you withstand?"
Song Wen raised his hand and beckoned.
The Great Cavern Divine Thunder Reappears!
Just as the divine lightning was about to strike Blood Brow's soul, Blood Brow suddenly vanished.
They reappeared, now right before Song Wen's eyes.
"It's useless! Even if lightning power counters the soul body, it's all in vain if you can't hit it. Your cultivation level is too low, and the lightning spells you unleash are too slow."
As he spoke, several tentacles emerged from the abdomen of the Blood Brow Soul and quickly extended toward Song Wen.
Just when she thought she could pull Song Wen's soul out of Song Wen body...
The smile on Blood Brow's face vanished without a trace.
His expression turned utterly terrified, as if he had witnessed something extremely frightening.
A powerful suction force emanated from Song Wen's body.
Through its tentacles, it dragged Blood Brow 'Blood Brow soul, attempting to absorb it into Song Wen's body.
"Ah!"
The Blood Brow Soul suddenly let out a piercing shriek.
The tentacles on her abdomen broke off cleanly.
Then, she quickly fled backward.
Seeing that the other party was able to escape by severing limbs, Song Wen was also very surprised. He had thought he could devour the Blood Brow Soul completely.
The opponent's soul was too fast; it could even dodge the Great Cavern Divine Thunder. Song Wen had no way to deal with it for the time being.
"What kind of monster is inside you that can devour my soul?"
After flying a hundred feet, Blood Brow finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Song Wen with lingering fear.
Her severed tentacle was part of her soul.
At this moment, her soul is incomplete, and if it cannot be restored in time, it may gradually dissipate.
"I must find a suitable vessel as soon as possible to house the soul, and then try to complete the soul body," Blood Brow thought to himself.
Her gaze swept around the surroundings, finally settling on the Silver Corpse.
The Silver Corpse's body already possessed a trace of vitality, and since it contained no soul, it was an excellent vessel for a soul.
With a thought, Blood Brow sent a burst of soul power toward the stone hall.
A burst of blue light illuminated the entire stone hall, then vanished in a flash.
As if some kind of restriction had been lifted, the once magnificent stone palace instantly became weathered and old, carrying a sense of decay eroded by time.
After everyone fled the stone hall, the three Copper Corpse stood still in place.
After the restrictions on the stone hall were lifted, the three Copper Corpse revived.
They burst out of the stone hall and charged towards Song Wen, the only living person.
Song Wen commanded the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King to go forward.
Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, Blood Brow seized the opportunity to rush towards Silver Corpse, and his soul directly entered Silver Corpse.
All of this happened so fast that Song Wen didn't even have time to react.
When he discovered that the Blood Brow Soul had merged into the Silver Corpse, the Silver Corpse was no longer under his control.
The Silver Corpse's movements were slightly stiff. With a burst of strength from its feet, it leaped up and headed straight for the distant lake shore.
Song Wen hurriedly cast several Method Formulas to control the corpse.
The Silver Corpse in mid-air suddenly froze, fell directly into the lake, then leaped out of the lake again and fled towards the shore.
Silver Corpse was one of Song Wen's strongest combat forces, and he was naturally unwilling to lose it. He led Ghost King and chased after Silver Corpse.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck down, crashing towards the Silver Corpse.
"Boom!"
Lightning struck the Silver Corpse in the back, blasting it away.
The Silver Corpse rolled over and ran upstream along the underground river.
The longer the Blood Brow Soul merged with the Silver Corpse, the more freely she controlled it, and the faster she became. Gradually, she widened the distance between herself and Song Wen until she disappeared from the range of Song Wen's Divine Sense.
Song Wen stopped and looked in the direction where the Silver Corpse had disappeared, filled with extreme resentment.
A moment later, Song Wen returned to the small island in the center of the underground lake.
At this time, the three Copper Corpse were still wreaking havoc on the island.
The bodies of Tang Fu and the others had been completely devoured by them.
These Copper Corpse possessed extremely strong physical bodies, far surpassing those of ordinary peak second-tier Copper Corpse.
Song Wen lost a pseudo-third-tier Silver Corpse, but these three Copper Corpse make up for the loss.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a long rope flew out from his hand, wrapping around one of the Copper Corpse.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, crashing into the Copper Corpse.
The Ghost King lunged forward and entangled the other two Copper Corpse.
The long rope was a relic of Qingyan; it was the very same 'Binding Spirit Rope' that Qingyan used to capture Song Wen outside East Birch Market.
The Binding Spirit Rope is a high-grade Spirit Artifact, primarily used to trap enemies.
Song Wen needs to capture the Copper Corpse right now, which is perfect for this situation.
Half an hour later.
After a fierce battle, Song Wen trapped the three Copper Corpse one by one, sealed them with the Corpse Dao Secret Art, and put them into the Corpse-Nurturing Coffin.
Song Wen collected the twelve storage rings that had been scattered throughout the stone hall, and also put away the Bronze Corpse Coffin where Blood Brow had been residing.
The bodies of the twelve cultivators who died here were torn to shreds by the Copper Corpse and were no longer of any value. Their souls were also completely devoured by Blood Brow.
As for the Bronze Corpse Coffin, Song Wen couldn't discern anything mysterious about it for the time being.
But this object has withstood the erosion of tens of thousands of years without decaying, so it must have something extraordinary about it.
After doing all this, Song Wen turned and left the stone hall.
Instead of returning the way he came, he followed the underground river downstream.
Blood Brow fled upstream, where Blood Cloud Cave is located.
There are thirteen powerful stone statues in Blood Cloud Cave. If Blood Brow can control these thirteen statues, then Song Wen returning to Blood Cloud Cave would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
After traveling several dozen miles, Song Wen found that there was no road on either side of the underground river, only a dark cave through which the river water flowed.
He had no choice but to dive into the water and drift downstream.
After traveling another ten miles or so, the underground cave began to branch out.
The underground river split into three, flowing in three different directions.
Song Wen chose a slightly larger dark cave and continued forward.
They traveled another thirty li, during which branching paths appeared frequently, and the dark caves became increasingly narrow, making it difficult for people to pass through.
Song Wen could only take out his flying sword and clear a path as he moved forward.
Two days later.
Inside a Cave that is more than half a person's height.
Song Wen bent over and waded through waist-deep river water.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared ahead.
Song Wen's face lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace. A moment later, he finally emerged from the underground river.
This is the foot of a large mountain on its shady side.
The surrounding trees were lush and verdant, blocking out the sun.
Song Wen had the Sacred Beetle Gu scout the surrounding area and, after confirming that there was no danger within a radius of more than ten miles,...
He took off on his sword and headed towards the Cave where Zuo Shuiyun was in seclusion.
