The old Daoist chuckled sinisterly, "Seventh Sister, you are still as beautiful as ever. If you don't have a lover, you can consider this old Daoist."
Seventh Sister snorted, "You are so ugly, I feel nauseous just looking at you."
The old Daoist, who was San Shi Daoist, his expression darkened, "Enough with the nonsense. You're here for the Flood Dragon Pearl, aren't you?"
Seventh Sister said, "The Flood Dragon Pearl is ownerless. If you can take it, why can't I?"
The monk stared at her, "Seventh Sister, you'd best leave now, or you won't be able to leave later. This Man-Eating Monk hasn't had the chance to eat a beauty like you yet!"
Seventh Sister said calmly, "Since I came, I naturally brought help."
With that, she actually looked in Ye Tian's direction and said, "Come out."
Ye Tian looked around. Besides him, there was only Hu San'er. No one else. He and Hu San'er exchanged a look, then helplessly walked out from behind the rock and stood beside Seventh Sister.
As soon as Ye Tian emerged, San Shi Daoist and the Man-Eating Monk's hearts sank. Their subconscious immediately treated Ye Tian as a master on par with Seventh Sister.
The Man-Eating Monk stared at Ye Tian and said sinisterly, "Friend, I advise you not to interfere in this matter!"
Ye Tian looked at Seventh Sister. She smiled slightly, moved a little closer to him, and said, "He is my lover. San Shi Daoist, what do you say? Isn't he younger and better-looking than you?"
San Shi Daoist snorted heavily, "Seventh Sister, two against two, you still have no chance of winning."
As he finished speaking, heavy footsteps echoed from around them. Three figures, coated entirely in copper powder, walked out with stiff gaits. Seeing these three bronze figures, Seventh Sister's expression changed slightly, "You've refined Copper Corpses!"
San Shi Daoist laughed heartily, "Seventh Sister, you should know how formidable Copper Corpses are. What do you say? Do you still want to fight me for it?"
Seventh Sister hesitated, seeming to reconsider.
Ye Tian asked, "Copper Corpses have stiff joints and aren't actually very strong fighters."
Upon hearing this, Seventh Sister was taken aback and asked, "Can you defeat them?"
Ye Tian rubbed his nose, "I can try."
San Shi Daoist was both angry and furious, "Want to try? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"
With that, he emitted a sound wave inaudible to human ears, and one of the Copper Corpses suddenly lunged at Ye Tian.
The moment the Copper Corpse moved, Ye Tian drew his bronze short sword, instantly shifted to its side, and thrust the sword forward.
"Pfft!"
The sword body erupted with sword light, easily severing the Copper Corpse's head. Without its head, the Copper Corpse immediately lost its combat capability and fell stiffly to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. This Copper Corpse was impervious to blades and spears, so why was it so easily killed?
San Shi Daoist was so enraged that his "three corpses" were about to jump out. He roared, "Kid, what kind of sword are you using?"
Ye Tian flicked his short sword and said, "This sword can slay ghosts and gods. What is a mere Copper Corpse in comparison?"
San Shi Daoist raged, "You've ruined my Copper Corpse, you must die!"
"Boom!"
The ground trembled, and the remaining two Copper Corpses moved again, pouncing at Ye Tian from both sides.
Ye Tian unleashed his Ghost God Steps. With a flash of sword light, the two stiffly moving Copper Corpses had their heads severed once more.
San Shi Daoist nearly fainted. How could this be!
The Man-Eating Monk sneered, "You merely possess a divine weapon, nothing to be impressed about. Taste this Buddha's shovel!"
He brandished his crescent shovel and attacked Ye Tian head-on. Ye Tian swiftly retreated, standing beside Seventh Sister.
Seventh Sister shot him a glare. With a light wave of her jade-like hand, several white jade palm prints appeared in the air, striking towards the Man-Eating Monk's vital points.
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, one with exquisite palm techniques, the other with powerful moves, neither gaining the upper hand.
After fighting for more than ten moves, the Man-Eating Monk's face suddenly changed drastically. He spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, "You dare to trick me!"
With that, he turned and fled.
Seventh Sister did not pursue him but turned her gaze towards San Shi Daoist.
San Shi Daoist sighed, "The item is yours. I concede." With that, he turned to leave.
Ye Tian stopped him and said calmly, "You can leave, but first, get rid of your corpse formation."
Seventh Sister was surprised and asked, "There's a corpse formation nearby?"
Ye Tian replied, "And it's a very powerful one. If he leaves, you and I will be trapped inside!"
