Chapter 166: 玄Huang Armor and Escaping Arts
o descend together.It seems this is the final test of the first trial.Qin Sang seemed thoughtful, and no longer hesitated. He brushed his palm across his waist, and three Corpse Soldiers flew out of t...The sound of the sword's cry echoed through the hall.
Wu Yue Sheng struck a finger, and a spirit sword the size of his thumb shot out. The spirit sword grew as it met the wind, and at the same time, crimson sword energy erupted from its body, ferocious and formidable.
This sword is called the Blazing Red Sword. The spirit sword is enveloped by sword energy, so you can't see its true form. However, just based on this aura, even if it's not a top-grade magic weapon, it's at least a well-crafted superior one.
The people of Baiyun Mountain hated the Corpse Demon deeply. After stabilizing his figure, he didn't hesitate and crazily poured his spiritual energy into the wooden staff. Then, with a mighty throw, the staff swelled to dozens of times its size in mid-air, resembling a piece of emerald green dragon-subduing wood, covering the sky and the sun, with a thunderous roar, it smashed towards the Corpse Demon.
Qin Sang still naturally used the Five Elements Breaking Law Sword, and it was not suitable to use the Ten Directions Yama Banner in front of others. The ebony sword remained as a backup, guarding against Wu Yue Sheng.
Moreover, they have now formed a pincer movement. If danger arises, they can quickly come to each other's aid. The Corpse King is trapped in the middle, just slowly grind away at its demonic energy and wait for an opportunity to strike it down. There's no need to rush; the Five Elements Breaking Sword will be enough.
The crimson sword qi, the wooden staff, and the Five Elements Breaking Sword, three attacks launched from three different directions, almost simultaneously, sealing off all escape routes. Even if the Corpse Demon was fast, there was nowhere to run.
“Heh heh...”
The Corpse Demon’s figure flashed frantically, darting through the cramped space, but each time it was driven back by the fierce onslaught, unable to break free from the encirclement. It seemed to sense the danger, and its facial expression and voice began to display a human-like agitation, making it even more eerie.
“Roar!”
The corpse, devoid of escape, roared ferociously at the three with a terrifying visage, only to be instantly overwhelmed by a barrage of magical artifacts.
'Boom!'
A tremendous roar echoed throughout the hall, causing it to tremble violently.
But when the chaotic energy dissipated, seeing the scene in the middle of the battlefield, the relaxed expressions on the faces of the three disappeared instantly, all were astonished.

To be seen, the Corpse Demon suffered from a combined attack, but apart from being somewhat embarrassed, it didn't seem to have been injured at all.
The ominous energy on its body had transformed into square black stones at some point. These stones whirled around it incessantly. The three of them combined their attacks to shatter most of them, but the black stones also neutralized their assault.
Moreover, after these black stones shattered, they simply reverted to demonic energy. It quickly coalesced into new black stones, encasing the corpse tightly.
Thanks to these black stones, the three attacks landed on the corpse demon, leaving wounds from the sword qi. However, the wounds were quickly repaired by the evil spirit energy, and in the end, it remained unscathed.
Even though Qin Sang and Wu Yue Sheng both had probing intentions and did not unleash their full power, their combined might was still formidable. Especially with three of them attacking together, even cultivators of the same realm in the Foundation Establishment period, equipped with various magical artifacts and spells, would have to respond with all their might and dare not be even slightly careless.
Three people all focused their eyes on those strange black stones, each with different expressions.

“Could this be… the Xuanhuang Armor”
Looking at the black stones that were flying around the corpse, Wu Yue Sheng muttered in disbelief.
Upon hearing Wu Yue's words, Qin Sang also suddenly remembered the spell called [insert the name of the spell here]. When he chose his skills on Baotou Peak, he had skimmed through many famous spells that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage could practice.

He had no money to buy it, nor the energy to cultivate it. So he memorized the characteristics, weaknesses, and especially the method of breaking the spell, aiming to know himself and his enemy well in future battles against strong foes.
Of these spells, there is no escaping, they are very famous.
is a ground-based spell that can only be practiced by foundation-building cultivators. It is very difficult to cultivate, but once perfected, it can instantly transform spiritual energy into armor to protect the entire body. Moreover, cultivators can control the armor pieces at will according to the situation, instantly combining them to cover all vital points of the body, making it renowned for its impenetrable defense and excellent defensive capabilities.
Black slabs hovered around the corpse, each one with a faint yellow glow and flickering runes. They seemed like shields, rotating nimbly around the corpse.
Except for the color being black instead of brown, there is not much difference.

The Xuanhuang Armor is quite practical, and many cultivators practice this mantra. However, having it wielded by a corpse puppet is extremely eerie, even frightening.

The Corpse Demon relies on corpse poison, sinister energy, and its resilient, pain-insensitive body. Its methods are single-minded, so despite its apparent strength, the three of them aren't too afraid of it.
But who has ever heard of a corpse using spells
Just then, Baiyunshan's expression changed as if he had suddenly remembered something. He said in a low voice, "Two fellow Daoists, what do you think Does the martial art used by that corpse resemble any kind of escape technique"
Qin Sang and Wu Yue Sheng were stunned, recalling the scene just now, realizing that Baiyun Shan's conjecture should be true.
The Corpse King's strength was not overwhelming enough to crush them. Even with his incredible speed, it wouldn't be possible for him to make three Foundation Establishment cultivators completely unaware and unable to see him.
If it's a technique like teleportation, then it makes sense. There are many kinds of teleportation spells in the cultivation world, and there are also some hidden and extremely secretive ones that are unknown to most people. It’s normal for them to be able to evade their spiritual awareness.
“Mysterious yellow armor, and strange escape techniques…”
Wu Yuesheng's voice was a little dry, "What other spells does it know Could it still use magic weapons Should we call it a fellow cultivator"
After that, Wu Yue Sheng gave a self-deprecating dry laugh.
Now they dare not treat the corpse as a dead thing. If it uses various strange incantations, relying on its powerful flesh and terrifying corpse poison, it is even more difficult to deal with than cultivators of the same realm.
The three of them looked at each other, their expressions becoming grave.
Just as the three were puzzled, the corpse suddenly moved. It was that eerie and unpredictable movement again, vanishing from their sight in an instant.

Wu Yue Sheng's face suddenly changed, he quickly pinched the seal, and the Chi Yan Sword shot up into the sky.
Then there was a sharp 'crack', and the figure of a corpse demon appeared beneath the Chiyan Sword. Its ghostly claws slammed heavily onto the blade, causing the spiritual sword to tilt violently.
They remained on guard, their weapons still drawn. Wu Yue Sheng hadn't expected the Corpse Demon to attack the Crimson Flame Sword. Though he reacted quickly, the Crimson Flame Sword was still scratched by the Corpse Demon's claws.
On the crimson blade, several distinct emerald-green fingerprints appeared. The residual corpse poison and sinister energy on them writhed like living creatures, clinging to the Chiyan Sword and rapidly devouring its spiritual light, attempting to burrow into its core and corrode its very essence.

Corpse poison can not only harm people, but it can also damage magical artifacts!

Seeing this, Wu Yue Sheng's face revealed a look of horror. He hurriedly urged his spirit sword with all his might, and suddenly a raging fire erupted, countering the corpse poison.
The corpse poison was quickly burned away by the flames, luckily the Chi Yan Sword remained unharmed, but Wu Yue Sheng still felt a lingering fear. hastily found these helpers, and I fear they may not be trustworthy."The shopkeeper smiled, "Actually, Daoist Qingfeng has been staying in Xihang Town for two more days. With a little investigation,...
