Chapter 742 - Corpse Bone Doll
In just three moves, the match ended with the Asura King’s defeat with heavy injuries.
When the Asura King retreated with heavy injuries, the region instantly froze. Not only were the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain dumbfounded, but even the Hundred Battles Domain’s faction also wore expressions of shock.
Clearly, the outcome of the battle had far surpassed their expectations.
Not only was the Asura King’s reputation resounding in the Great Havenlaw Domain, it was the same for the Hundred Battles Domain. Although the Spiritual Corpse King was abnormal, everyone thought that the battle between them would be even more intense than the one between the Sleeping Emperor and the Devil Compassion Sovereign…
But the outcome made everyone dumbfounded.
“Why is it like this…?” Tang Bing’s face was pale as she looked at the Asura King, who had returned with grave injuries, and couldn’t help muttering.
Mu Chen also had an expression of disbelief as he looked at the sky. His gaze was fixed on the figure that was covered in black bandages and the abnormally eerie fluctuations emanating from him.
When the Asura King fought with the Spiritual Corpse King, their cultivations were completely revealed.
Seventh Grade Sovereign!
Be it the Asura King or the Spiritual Corpse King, both of their strengths had reached the height of Seventh Grade Sovereign. Within the two factions, the two of them were clearly the strongest amongst the King-levels. It was so much so that their strengths were comparable to Emperor-level experts.
Generally speaking, when both experts were at Seventh Grade Sovereign, there would be a deadlock in their battle. If there wasn’t any special cards from them, there was a chance that the match might end in a tie.
But just when everyone harboured that thought, an unforeseen event happened in the battle.
When everyone saw the both of them exchange one or two moves, the Spiritual Corpse King suddenly retreated and with a wave or his hand, a black dried-up corpse appeared beside him.
The corpse was practically a bag of bones, covered in strange black runes. Faintly, there were uncomfortable eerie fluctuations emanating from it.
It was the unique technique of the Demonic Corpse Sect, the Demon Corpse!
Experts of the Demonic Corpse Sect had the special ability to nurture corpses that could be controlled by them, and use them in battle. So, generally speaking, the experts of the Demonic Corpse Sect excelled in using the power of the Demon Corpse to fight with the advantage of numbers.
So everyone could tell that the black Demon Corpse was the Life Bond Demon Corpse of the Spiritual Corpse King.
After the Spiritual Corpse King summoned his Life Bond Demon Corpse, the black bandages on him shattered as they broke off from his body. A great amount of blood and flesh also separated from his body and stuck onto the Life Bond Demon Corpse.
It was a blood-reeking and sinister scene that would cause the hair on one’s body to stand.
When the great amount of blood and flesh separated itself from the Spiritual Corpse King and fused with his Life Bond Demon Corpse, the Life Bond Demon Corpse charged towards the Asura King with a wave of a hand. Thereafter… it immediately exploded.
Speaking from a certain extent, after absorbing the blood and flesh of the Spiritual Corpse King, the strength of it was also at Seventh Grade Sovereign as well. When it frantically exploded, that power was something that even experts at the level of Sky Vulture Emperor could only avoid.
When the Life Bond Demon Corpse exploded, the Asura King had to exert all his means to defend, but still ended up with a loss and heavy injuries!
The outcome came too sudden. It was so much so that many people could not react in time. Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn’t imagine the Spiritual Corpse King being so crazy.
The Life Bond Demon Corpse was greatly linked with his body. Although he would not die from the explosion of his Life Bond Demon Corpse, the Spiritual Corpse King would suffer unimaginably great injuries. Furthermore, it was tough to cultivate a Life Bond Demon Corpse. Now that the Spiritual Corpse King had exploded it, although he had obtained a victory, it was not worth the loss in the long term.
Therefore, everyone was dumbfounded by the Spiritual Corpse King’s insane actions.
This sort of victory was too pricey…
Haaaa.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of chilled air as he looked at the silhouette of the Spiritual Corpse King. Under the latter’s black bandages, fresh blood was constantly flowing and dripping down. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him had also withered to a great extent. Evidently, exploding his Life Bond Demon Corpse had landed him with grave injuries.
Whoosh!
The Sky Vulture Emperor flew out and grabbed ahold of the Asura King’s greatly injured body. His gaze was cold as he looked at the Spiritual Corpse King, “What a ruthless method. Aren’t you afraid that the price you are paying is too great?”
The Spiritual Corpse King, who was wrapped under the black bandages, revealed an eerie gaze as he coldly laughed. With a wave of his hand, a humanoid doll that was framed from bones appeared. However, that humanoid doll was filled with cracks.
“Corpse Bone Doll?”
When the Sky Vulture Emperor saw it, his face slightly changed. The Corpse Bone Doll was a very evil object. It was said that it could bear the fatal injuries of someone as a replacement. But the method for refining such an object was very bloody. Therefore, there were only a few that could use it. But, who could have thought that the Spiritual Corpse King would possess such a treasure? With the Corpse Bone Doll enduring the fatal injuries for him, he wouldn’t suffer much of the after effects of exploding Demon Corpse. It’s no wonder why he dared to act so insane.
When the Spiritual Pupils Emperor, Nine Nether and the rest saw the Corpse Bone Doll, their faces turned terribly ugly. Clearly, the Spiritual Corpse King came well-prepared. It was no wonder why the Hundred Battles Domain would choose such a way to fight…
If it wasn’t for the Sleeping Emperor being so deep and unfathomable and getting the first victory, their Great Havenlaw Domain would have lost right now.
“Haha, so our Hundred Battles Domain wins this round.” The Sword Concealing Elder said with a smile as his eyes narrowed. But in the eyes of the Great Havenlaw Domain faction, his smile was extremely hateful.
The Sky Vulture Emperor’s gaze was cold as he brought the Asura King, who had fainted, back and left him under the care of someone. His gaze was directed at the Great Havenlaw Ruler, who was still firmly seated on the throne.
“Ho, a win and loss…”
The light around the Great Havenlaw Ruler faintly trembled as a faint laughter rang out. However, there was a trace of a chill in that laughter. “Looks like your Hundred Battles Domain is well-prepared.”
“Haha, those words are wrong, Great Havenlaw Ruler. The strength of the Hundred Battles Domain is weaker than the Great Havenlaw Domain to begin with, so they are only giving it their all.” Liu Tiandao, who had not spoken, lightly smiled out.
Only with such an expert at the Earth Sovereign Realm like Liu Tiandao standing there, could the threat of the Great Havenlaw Ruler towards the Sword Concealing Elder and the rest be decreased. Thus, he smiled, “Great Havenlaw Ruler, now that two of the battles have taken place, we are currently in a tie right now… If the Great Havenlaw Ruler can withdraw now, we can save the third battle.”
A win and loss made the third battle to be unexpectedly important. The third person that represented the Hundred Battles Domain was the most low-profiled amongst the Domain Lords of the Hundred Battles Domain. But his strength was something that caused even Ling Qingfeng and those similar to sigh in admiration. It was so much so that there were many people stating that with Qin Bei’s capabilities, even amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, he was definitely not amongst the ordinaries.
Whereas in the Great Havenlaw Domain, it was a Commander with the cultivation of Second Grade Sovereign. Although he had some reputation, it was incomparable to Qin Bei. So towards the third battle, the Hundred Battles Domain had great confidence about it. After all, no matter how bad it was, as long as Qin Bei wasn’t defeated, then this fight could be considered as their victory. Because the Great Havenlaw Domain had come full force at them, and to begin with, the reputation of the Great Havenlaw Domain was higher than them. If local powers like them were to end the fight like this, the Great Havenlaw Domain would probably become the laughing stock of the Northern Region.
Countless experts exchanged looks in the Great Havenlaw Domain faction. They couldn’t help directing their gazes towards the young man standing before the Nine Nether Troop with helplessness filling their eyes.
They originally thought that if they could obtain the first two victories, the third battle wouldn’t be important. But who could have thought that the situation would turn out like this…?
The initially unimportant battle had become the most crucial battle.
The changes were ungraspable.
Facing the countless helpless gazes, Mu Chen only shrugged his shoulders and looked at the Great Havenlaw Ruler. Right now, it depended on the Great Havenlaw Ruler if he was to fight this match.
The gazes that were directed at Mu Chen shifted onto the Great Havenlaw Ruler as well. Under the countless gazes, the Great Havenlaw Ruler laughed as if it wasn’t unexpected.
“Looks like things went as I have expected.” The Great Havenlaw Ruler faintly laughed, which caused the countless gazes from the Great Havenlaw Domain faction to freeze. What did that mean? Could it be that the Great Havenlaw Ruler had expected such a situation? Then why would he let Mu Chen have the most important battle? Was he so confident of the latter?
The Great Havenlaw Ruler directed his gaze at Mu Chen and, with an ethereal voice, said, “Are you confident about this third battle that concerns the reputation of my Great Havenlaw Domain?”
“Mu Chen will do his best.”
Mu Chen cupped his fists and calmly replied. Although he was doubtful about why the Great Havenlaw Ruler would pay such attention to a nobody like him, since it was a battle that was sent up to his door, he naturally had no reason to refuse it.
“Good.”
The Great Havenlaw Ruler smiled. “Good, then you will enter the third battle.”
In the direction of the Great Havenlaw Domain, countless experts bitterly smiled. It looked like the Great Havenlaw Ruler had no intention to change his mind. Since that was the case, they could only rely on the new Commander, Mu Chen, and see if he was worthy of such actions from the Domain Ruler.
“Mu Chen, go for it!” Tang Bing pinched her fists as she cheered for Mu Chen. Although she didn’t know how the third battle would turn out, she still had to show her support for Mu Chen.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Just when he was about to go out, he felt a pair of eyes directed over. Raising his head over, he saw Nine Nether showing a worried gaze while looking at him.
Mu Chen gave Nine Nether a smile and said nothing else. His figure moved. Under the gazes of countless experts, he appeared in the sky. He looked at the Hundred Battles Domain with his fists cupped together, along with a laughter that rang out.
“Great Havenlaw Domain, Mu Chen of the Nine Nether Palace has come forth to seek some teachings!”
