The mutated poisonous corpses roared, emitting chilling sounds. Their pitch-black skeletons and skulls looked terrifying. However, their movements were as slow as those of someone with dementia, as if they might fall at any moment.
*Smack, smack, smack!*
With a few blows from her staff, Su Luo reduced one mutated poisonous corpse into dozens of bones.
"Five hundred and eighty-nine."
*Smack, smack, smack!*
Su Luo struck a few more times: "Five hundred and ninety."
In just a few moments, she had brutally and violently dealt with these dozen or so mutated poisonous corpses, her kill count reaching five hundred and ninety-seven.
"If it weren't for the Lotus Glazed Lamp, this would have been quite a bit of trouble," Su Luo chuckled. She glanced around, extending her divine sense to check, and finding no immediate danger, decided she could rest for a while.
Even though she was trapped in the Corpse Poison Three Kill Formation, she wasn't worried at all.
Her senior brothers would definitely come to rescue her, so why worry?
Instead of struggling alone, it was better to wait for her senior brothers to arrive and tackle it together. Then, not only these mutated poisonous corpses, but even the final Corpse King wouldn't be a threat; they would eventually be eliminated.
Moreover, Su Luo had many ways to protect herself.
Although she couldn't let the giants out to help anymore, she could use the special space of the Giant King's Court to slowly wear down the enemy and improve her cultivation to forcefully break the formation. She could also use the Lotus Glazed Lamp to weaken the enemy's power, making for an easy kill.
In fact, she still had her trump card, the 'Seal of the Gods'.
Fantian had completely underestimated Su Luo's many trump cards, and the White Bone Heavenly Demon was even less aware of them, which was why he had lost from the very beginning when he plotted against Su Luo.
"I'm a bit hungry, I should eat something first."
Su Luo found a clear spot, took out a table and chairs from her storage ring, and then laid out various delicious pastries, juices, and other items. Holding the Lotus Glazed Lamp, she sat on the ornate chair and began to enjoy herself leisurely.
She didn't forget to rest amidst the battle; there was no need to rush. Since she couldn't get out anytime soon, she would fight after she had eaten her fill!
Before long, more mutated poisonous corpses arrived.
With a dive, several mutated poisonous corpses spread their bat-like wings, raised their claws, and flew towards her ferociously. But the moment they entered the light range of the Lotus Glazed Lamp, they immediately tumbled to the ground with a *thump*.
It took them quite a while to manage to get back up.
The mutated poisonous corpses, brimming with killing intent, instantly turned into feeble, aged, and infirm corpses, standing there hesitantly, seemingly unsure whether to attack Su Luo or flee for their lives.
Su Luo put down her juice cup, slowly picked up her wooden staff, infused it with metal energy, and instantly transformed it into a hard metal staff.
"Coming to die again. Disturbing my meal, how dare you."
She stood up, swung her staff, and smashed it towards the mutated poisonous corpse at the front.
*Smack, smack, smack!*
A flurry of blows, brute force, and a brutal beating!
Su Luo didn't even use any martial arts techniques; she simply beat these five mutated poisonous corpses into scattered pieces.
"Su Luo!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out.
Su Luo turned around and her eyes lit up with surprise: "Senior Brother, you're finally here!"
Not far away, Li Tianjue walked out of the withered forest, dressed in elegant robes, his long hair flowing over his shoulders, a look of worry on his face. When he saw the pile of black bones on the ground, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with concern, "Finally found you, Su Luo. Are you alright?"
He smiled and reached out to Su Luo: "It's very dangerous here. Hurry over, I'll take you out of here."
Su Luo hadn't expected her senior brothers to arrive so quickly.
Just as she was about to run towards Li Tianjue, she suddenly stopped, and asked with a hint of strangeness, "Senior Brother, why are you here alone? Where are Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother?"
Li Tianjue paused and replied, "Everyone else is here, they're behind me. I came ahead."
As he spoke, he walked towards Su Luo, his gaze occasionally falling on the Lotus Glazed Lamp in her hand, a look of joyful concern on his face. "Su Luo, why are you eating here? It's so dangerous, you should hurry..."
Suddenly, Su Luo lunged at Li Tianjue with her spear.
Li Tianjue leaped back to avoid the spear, seemingly prepared for it. His face changed, and he said, "What are you doing, Su Luo? Killing even me? Have you gone mad from killing?"
"Stop pretending, Fantian. I knew from the first glance that you weren't Li Tianjue," Su Luo said, pointing the tip of her spear at the imposter.
"Don't joke around, Su Luo." Li Tianjue seemed displeased.
"Still pretending?"
Su Luo looked at him and curled her lips, "Swear that if you're not the real Li Tianjue, you'll be my dog from now on."
The imposter's face twitched, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore.
His features began to turn to sand, flowing and shifting, finally forming Fantian's appearance, dark and enraged. "Brat, I clearly transformed to look exactly like Li Tianjue, even my voice is identical. How did you figure out I was fake?"
He couldn't believe Su Luo was so perceptive that she saw through his disguise at a single glance.
Su Luo's lips curved into a playful smile. "Fantian, you don't understand my Senior Brother at all. He's never worn clothes like those. I knew you were fake the moment I saw them."
She hadn't expected the problem to be the clothes, and Fantian became even more confused.
Why would a mere piece of clothing give him away?
Of course, Fantian didn't know that Li Tianjue only had six sets of clothes for the entire year, and Su Luo had seen them all. The outfit he had chosen for his disguise today was not only luxurious but also made of ice silk, worth at least a thousand spirit coins.
How could the stingy Li Tianjue bear to spend a thousand spirit coins on a single garment?
Therefore, the moment they met, Su Luo knew he was an imposter.
"Damn it!"
Fantian stopped pretending and looked at Su Luo with murderous intent, about to make a move to forcibly seize the Lotus Glazed Lamp. But as soon as he approached the light range, his killing intent immediately waned. Instead, it turned into hesitation, fear, and a desire to collapse...
Just then, Su Luo's communication jade pendant began to hum.
She took it out and connected. "Su Luo? Finally, I can contact you. Are you okay? Where are you?"
"Senior Brother, have you guys entered?"
The communication jade pendant had been ineffective before, but now it connected. Su Luo knew that her senior brothers must have also entered the formation. She quickly told Li Tianjue her location, then looked back to see that Fantian had disappeared again.
He probably knew that Li Tianjue was coming soon and had to escape, otherwise, he would only be subject to a beatdown.
Su Luo waited in place for a moment and indeed, Li Tianjue and his group arrived.
"Sister Su, we finally found you!" Tang Xiaoguo ran up as soon as she saw her, pulling Su Luo to look her over from head to toe.
"Luo Luo, you seem fine, even eating. You're quite relaxed," Shang Xie Shaoqing walked up with a smile. Seeing that Su Luo was safe and sound, he was relieved.
Su Luo briefly explained the situation, and everyone understood what had happened. Instead of feeling relieved, their expressions became solemn.
Although they had long suspected the sinister methods of the demonic sect, they hadn't expected Fantian to order the White Bone Heavenly Demon to slaughter thousands of people in Red Stone Town and refine them into poisonous corpses.
"This young master of the demonic sect is truly vicious!"
"Senior Brother, what do we do now? We don't know how many poisonous corpses there are."
A group of outer disciples became worried.
"It seems we can't just leave. We must eliminate all the poisonous corpses," Li Tianjue decided.
Leaving the formation wasn't difficult, but if they didn't resolve the Corpse Poison Three Kill Formation, and if Fantian were to fly into a rage and release all the mutated poisonous corpses, the resulting disaster would be unimaginable.
The formation had to be broken, and since killing all the poisonous corpses would do the trick, then so be it.
