508: Chapter 508: Battle of Life and Death 508: Chapter 508: Battle of Life and Death Wuu Xudong coldly asked Long Fei, “How do you know about Li Cangfeng?”
Wang Kun also furrowed his brows.
Long Fei chuckled lightly, “It seems my guess was true after all—you’ve spent a fortune on corpses, all to deal with me.”
In the dark weave of fate, he had encountered Du Jun’s soul, and it all stemmed from this.
Wuu Xudong shouted, “If you’re scared, just say it, and cut the crap.
I’m telling you, today, not only will you die, but the woman by your side will too.
I’ll make you understand the taste of losing loved ones!”
“By you guys?”
With a flash from his Storage Ring, Long Fei summoned the Tai’a Sword.
As the Sword of Might appeared, with a shrill whistling, all the corpses howled at once.
It was a shiver from the depths of their being, and even Wang Kun squinted his eyes, taken aback that Long Fei still had such a Magic Artifact.
Wuu Xudong felt the breath of death more acutely, and involuntarily protected his body.
His hands were trembling, submitting to a sword without reason.
“Master Wang, please!”
He urged Wang Kun with a shout.
Wang Kun shook his Bronze Bell vigorously, yelling out, “Good, today, this Master will act as the heavens and extinguish this heresy!”
With a surge of vile energy, he was quite adept at slinging mud.
Upon hearing the sound of the Bronze Bell, over a dozen corpses, as if possessed, jumped three feet into the air, lunging at Long Fei with rigid fervor.
The corpses possessed strength beyond the ordinary, but their true lethality lay in the Corpse Poison on their bodies.
If the Corpse Poison entered one’s system, even if it didn’t kill immediately, within a few days, it would attack the heart, causing rot and putrefaction, leading to death.
Worse yet, if the brain nerves were rotted by the Corpse Poison.
The person would become like someone with rabies, biting others on sight, and that’s how the so-called zombies come about.
“Is this all you’ve got?”
A smirk curved the corners of Long Fei’s mouth.
Sword Qi burst from his hands like a rainbow-hued whip, sweeping into the crowd of corpses.
Thud, thud, thud—a series of muffled sounds.
Wherever the Sword Qi went, the corpses exploded violently, directly spraying a mist of blood right before their eyes.
Wang Kun’s Bronze Bell suddenly faltered, his newly refined zombies, painstakingly cultivated over several days, were all destroyed by Long Fei with a single sword stroke.
Wuu Xudong was also staring in amazement, intimidated by Long Fei’s momentum, his eyes quickly flickered with the thought of retreat.
Wang Kun yelled loudly, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood at the Copper Coin Sword, and shouted, “Quick!”
The Copper Coin Sword flashed with a red light, zooming towards Long Fei at high speed.
This sword was charged with spiritual power—swift as lightning and even faster than a bullet with the power to shatter a boulder.
Long Fei knew this was the method of nourishing swords.
Witnessing it today was indeed an eye-opener.
He parried with his sword, and with a loud bang, he blocked the Sword Qi.
His body immediately took a step back, and with a stomp, the floorboards shattered into debris.
Both were taken aback for a moment—Wang Kun hadn’t expected Long Fei to be able to receive that sword strike.
Long Fei hadn’t expected the Sword Qi to be quite so powerful.
He mimicked instantly, employing the same Sword Qi as Wang Kun.
With a stir of his spiritual power, he harnessed the metallic Yuan Force of heaven and earth with the Tai’a Sword, transforming it into a sword and yelled, “Quick!”
The Sword Qi shot out as a white light, menacing and fierce, creating a whirlwind in mid-air, stabbing straight towards Wang Kun.
Wang Kun also launched his second Sword Qi, and the two streams collided in the air with a thunderous blast.
His Sword Qi, nurtured for three years, was completely overshadowed by the Sword Qi that Long Fei had suddenly stirred up.
A massive recoil shook violently, shattering his Copper Coin Sword into pieces with a crackling sound, and all fell to the ground.
Holding his sword, Long Fei concentrated and said, “So this is how Sword Qi is supposed to be used?”
He had recently understood many Cultivation Techniques, but he had little interest in Sword Qi.
Today, he saw that this method indeed had its unique aspects and could fully unleash the imposing pressure of the Magic Artifact, the Spirit Sword.
The more Sword Qi that spiritual power could stir up, the greater the imposing force released by the Tai’a Sword.
To nourish the spirit with the sword, and to transform the spirit into the sword.
Such was the method of the Mount Shu Sword Immortal.
Compared to using Essential Qi to drive a longsword, it was as different as Qi is to light, and its power was incomparably stronger.
Wang Kun’s Copper Coin Sword was made of copper coins from the Tang and Song Dynasties, cultivated with spiritual power for over a decade.
This Magic Artifact, if placed in the secular world, could easily fetch a sky-high price.
Yet he had never imagined that with one strike, Long Fei would shatter it.
“Thief, you destroyed my Magical Treasure, see how I’m going to kill you!”
He yelled wildly, and suddenly there was a tremor behind the statue.
With a series of loud bangs, it felt as though a giant had emerged, and a corpse clad in iron armored attire leaped out from behind.
This corpse wielded a Giant Axe, standing two meters tall with an imposing build, appearing like a demonic god from hell, its eyes emitting a terrifying red light.
Wang Kun shouted, “This is a dead body I found after searching the entire world in the Western Foreign Country.
Now, it has been refined into an Iron Armored Copper Corpse.
Today, you shall be the first offering!”
His finger shook the Bronze Bell violently, and the Red-Eyed Zombie let out a fierce roar, charging at Long Fei with the Giant Axe in hand.
Covered in iron armor weighing over a hundred jin, every step it took cracked the marble floor with loud pops.
“Interesting!”
A hint of a smile crossed Long Fei’s face as he stirred his spiritual power, and his Tai’a Sword whooshed, emitting a white Sword Qi.
The intent to kill spread in all directions, and with a pfft, the Sword Qi pierced through the iron armored corpse’s body.
This towering giant, already dead, was hit by the Sword Qi, which merely created a bloody hole in its body, having no effect on it.
In Corpse-Driving Technique, using talismans to control a corpse was the most basic method.
The truly formidable spells were those that used the bones of the corpse as talismans and engraved them with symbols.
When confronting an enemy, one would directly stimulate the talismans on the bones to activate the dead corpse.
This giant corpse from the Western Foreign Country had taken Wang Kun more than a decade to refine, and he hadn’t expected he would be forced to use it today.
With an axe chopping down, Long Fei stepped back to avoid it.
The Giant Axe slammed onto the floor with a thunderous crash, instantly cleaving a deep pit over a meter long.
Wuu Xudong swallowed hard.
Although he very much wanted to see Long Fei be killed and savor the feeling of revenge,
seeing Long Fei remaining calm, he couldn’t help but feel faint-hearted and decided to slip away first while smearing oil under his feet.
As he left, he shouted loudly, “Master Wang, you hold on.
After killing him, I’ll send you the final payment!”
“Ungrateful wretch!”
Wang Kun gave him a sidelong glance.
He was fighting desperately, yet his employer had the audacity to leave without any sense of loyalty.
He casually tossed a porcelain bottle which exploded over Wuu Xudong’s head, turning into a bloody mist that sprinkled on Wuu Xudong’s body.
This was the Corpse Poison Powder that he had specially refined with zombie flesh, which would infect the skin and seize the heart with poison.
Over time, one wouldn’t die but would turn into a zombie.
With this trick, he didn’t have to worry about the Wuu Family reneging on their debt.
Once he finished off Long Fei, the Wuu Family would have to pay whatever amount he demanded.
