The true [Gather Form and Disperse Qi]!
"Why are you looking at me? We're on the same side!"
Feeling the gazes of everyone, the Zombie Alliance disciple's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted.
When everyone turned back to look at Qi Yun, the spot where he had been standing was now empty.
Instead, the skeletons have risen up in rebellion once more!
Eighty-one white bone skulls, burning with blood-black evil flames, cackled and laughed maniacally, as if they possessed their own consciousness, launching a coordinated attack from different directions.
In the previous instant, it transformed into a constantly rotating and impacting wall of white bones, forcefully shattering the hastily organized Law Technique from the disciples of the three sects.
The next second, they scattered and flew in all directions like ghosts, specifically targeting and harassing cultivators who were trying to cast powerful Law Technique or summon Law Artifact.
The spewed poisonous fire is sticky and corrosive, making it impossible to defend against.
The skeletons of this time were no longer as fragile as they were in the initial version.
The Corpse Poison Yin Fire burning all over its body are extremely toxic; even a tiny bit of them will corrode large areas of flesh and bone.
The skull itself was incredibly hard, withstanding three consecutive bombardments, but only cracked a few times.
Thanks to its self-healing effect, it can recover completely in a single spin, proving to be extremely difficult to deal with!
Meanwhile, the Sunken Abyss Iron Sand on one side unleashed pure physical destructive power. With a casual shove, the incredibly heavy Sunken Abyss Iron Sand exerted a terrifying impact force of tens of thousands of kilograms.
In addition, they are fast and elusive.
Like a black tide, it suddenly surged up from the ground, transforming into countless sharp spikes or heavy chains, piercing, binding, and crushing enemies who couldn't dodge in time.
Let's get started!
Sand falls!
The skeleton pounces!
Often, in just one encounter, these disciples from the three sects would be subdued and dragged away before they could even utter a scream.
Then, in a very short time, all their cultivation and blood essence were drained, turning them into withered, dried-up corpses that were carelessly discarded.
The essence of their lifelong arduous cultivation was continuously fed back into Qi Yun's body through the [Essence Devouring] ability of the white skeleton. At this moment, the [Cinnabar Cicada Womb Treasury] tightly held in Qi Yun's hand was also emitting a faint blood-red light.
The Bagua patterns on the cicada's back flowed slowly, like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing the mixed essence dissipated from the battlefield and transforming it into jade marrow that could alter one's aptitude.
The longer the battle lasted, the more terrifying the aura and majesty emanating from Qi Yun became.
He seemed tireless, growing stronger with each kill.
The Sha Qi surrounding him was almost tangible.
Where those icy eyes swept, not a single person dared to meet their gaze!
"Those below the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, step back. This skeletal skeleton can absorb the essence of the living to replenish its own body."
Seeing Qi Yun sweep through like a tiger among sheep, the experts among the three sects reacted and shouted loudly to dismiss these disciples who had become mere "blood bags".
The next moment!
The attacking disciples retreated like a tide, leaving a large open space.
The six auras solidified, clearly those of cultivators from the three sects at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and they charged towards Qi Yun, forming an encirclement that trapped him in the center.
Six against one!
These six individuals are the backbone of the three groups that entered [Peach Garden] this time.
The two disciples of the Yellow Springs Netherworld were deathly pale, their bodies surrounded by Yin Qi.
The three Zombie Alliance cultivators had glossy black fingernails, fangs that were faintly visible in their mouths, and an aura of putrid yet resilient strength emanating from their bodies.
There was also a female cultivator from the Hehuan Palace, whose eyes exuded natural charm, yet concealed murderous intent.
Staring at Qi Yun's figure, the six remained silent, their eyes meeting in perfect unspoken understanding.
Almost simultaneously, a variety of deadly moves were unleashed!
A disciple of the Yellow Springs Netherworld pointed his fingers like a sword, and a gray-black Soul-Eroding Sword Qi silently pierced towards Qi Yun's back.
Another Yellow Springs waved a small banner, summoning several roaring chains of Yin spirits that wrapped around Qi Yun's legs.
The three Zombie Alliance cultivators roared simultaneously, their skin developing a patina-like pattern, their bodies instantly hardening, and their dark claws piercing straight for their hearts, accompanied by a shrill sound of air being torn apart.
There are two Dao Path to the Zombie Alliance: controlling the user and neutralizing the user.
Corpse Control focuses on manipulating various types of zombies, while Corpse Transformation refers to a state where the body has not yet stiffened, similar to a martial arts lineage that focuses on physical combat.
The Hehuan Palace Xiu Zhu parted her lips slightly, exhaling a Sha Qi of pink peach blossom-like killing intent.
The Sha Qi didn't attack directly, but rather spread out, trying to interfere with Qi Yun and slow down his movements.
Faced with the coordinated attack of six cultivators of the same level, Qi Yun's eyes narrowed, and his mind raced.
Eighty-one white skeletal skulls emitted even more rapid and shrill eerie laughter.
It spun wildly, forming a ghastly white vortex of death.
It crashed headlong into the several chains of ghostly spirits and the three Zombie Alliance cultivators charging towards it!
The Corpse Poison Yin Fire spewed from the skull corroded each other with the chains of ghostly spirits, emitting a piercing "sizzling" sound.
The incredibly hard skull clashed head-on with the bronze armor and sharp claws of the Zombie Alliance cultivator, sending sparks flying.
A massive amount of Sunken Abyss Iron Sand rapidly gathered around him, transforming into a thick, black giant shield that precisely blocked the Soul-Eroding Sword Qi.
Clang!
The Soul-Eroding Sword Qi struck the giant iron sand shield with a dull thud.
The sinister Sword Qi and the heavy iron sand canceled each other out and annihilated each other. Just as Qi Yun was distracted by six attacks from six cultivators from the three sects, an extremely dim gray-black Sword Qi, as if it had a life of its own, silently approached and then suddenly accelerated.
A long, diagonal gash was slashed across Qi Yun's back.
The wound was extremely deep, almost exposing the bone!
The extremely yin and Evil Qi contained within the Sword Qi instantly invaded the body, frantically destroying the meridians and flesh, bringing bone-chilling cold and excruciating pain.
"Hahaha, how does the taste of my Profound Yin Sword Qi feel?" A humanoid black shadow crawled up from the ground, emitting a sharp and triumphant laugh.
It turns out that there were not six, but seven people besieging Qi Yun.
This was a disciple of the Yellow Springs Netherworld who launched a sneak attack while Qi Yun was distracted by Liu Gu.
That was the seventh person.
"The Yellow Springs Ghost Technique truly live up to their reputation."
Feeling the piercing, icy pain in his back, Qi Yun nodded and smiled. But the next second, the face of the Yellow Springs Netherworld disciple who appeared suddenly froze.
Countless fine needles of Sunken Abyss Iron Sand, gleaming with a cold metallic light, had already gathered like a swarm of bees that had been waiting for a long time.
They were as fine as cow's hair, yet stronger than refined steel, completely sealing off all his escape routes!
"In order to lure you out, I, Qi, actually took a sword strike."
Now, it's your turn.
Puff puff puff puff puff!
Before the words were even finished, a dense, storm-like series of piercing sounds suddenly erupted!
The disciple of the Yellow Springs Netherworld stared in horror. His True Qi was as fragile as paper in the face of such dense and sharp iron needles, and was instantly pierced.
He didn't even have time to let out a complete scream.
His entire body was completely pierced by countless iron needles, turning him into a black and ferocious hedgehog. He fell straight backward and landed with a thud, his life instantly extinguished.
Seven against one, and they still managed to kill one of them.
This situation left the onlookers horrified, their scalps tingling, and a chill running down their spines.
Who exactly is this person? Weren't all those who entered [Peach Garden] supposed to be disciples from the Outer Mansion of the Holy Sect?
"He was struck by the Profound Yin Sword Qi of my Yellow Springs Netherworld. The evil Qi has seeped into his marrow, and his flesh and blood will soon die and disintegrate!"
Don't give him the chance to channel his inner energy and force out the Sword Qi.
Let's attack together and take him down quickly!
Witnessing his fellow disciple being impaled like a hedgehog by Qi Yun, another cultivator from the Yellow Springs Netherworld gritted his teeth and urged everyone to attack again.
"Good!"
Having already deeply experienced the ferocity and power of the Holy Sect disciple before them, the other four nodded in agreement, channeling their True Qi to prepare for another attack.
But Qi Yun, who was blocked in the middle, suddenly disappeared without a trace in front of them with a thud.
"The art of concealing oneself?! What a joke!"
Witnessing Qi Yun's disappearance, the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivator holding the small banner sneered.
This technique of concealing one's form is the signature skill of the Yellow Springs Netherworld. He flipped his hand and took out three bronze mirrors, chanting incantations. Immediately, eerie, pale, mottled eyes appeared on the bronze mirrors, constantly turning and scanning!
[The Three Yin Manifestation True Method]
With a flick of his wrist, the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivator tossed the three bronze mirrors into the air and unleashed a burst of True Qi. The eyes on the three bronze mirrors immediately shot out beams of hazy gray light, like searchlights, and quickly locked onto a fleeting, ethereal trail of pure energy!
"Found it!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the hazy beam of light, and just as they were about to Hand Seals, their expressions suddenly changed.
Qi Yun, now transformed into pure energy, was ethereal and otherworldly. The huge gash on his back, slashed by the Profound Yin Sword Qi, was rapidly repaired and healed in this vaporized state.
In the blink of an eye, apart from the torn clothes, there was no trace left on the flesh.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!"
Even though the three sects were all giants of the demonic path, and their disciples were well-informed, they were still astonished to see Qi Yun repairing his physical body.
The transformation of the physical body into qi is not unique, nor are the spirit medicine and secret techniques for physical body repair legendary.
But neither of these things should exist in a Qi Refining disciple.
If Qi Yun in front of them were a Foundation Establishment True Person, even if he bleeds himself up and is reborn from the ashes, they would only praise his profound and wondrous techniques.
But Qi Yun was just a Qi Refining cultivator!
Feeling his body fully restored to its peak condition, without a trace of hidden ailment or injury, Qi Yun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of understanding.
Gathering forms creates a false body; dispersing energy constructs an illusion.
This is the true meaning of [Gather Form and Disperse Qi]!
