Chapter 297: The Immortal Corpse
What kind of puppet could withstand the Immortal’s Finger?
The Treasure Pavilion Master stared intently at the puppet giant, his expression quickly changing.
“You actually obtained the four puppet beasts left behind by Puppet Master Mo!”
Chu Liang’s expression was cold, and he did not reply.
With a thought, he commanded the puppet giant to kill the Treasure Pavilion Master.
Whoosh!
The puppet giant’s body flashed, instantly traversing a thousand zhang, arriving in front of the Treasure Pavilion Master and swinging its giant sword down.
The Treasure Pavilion Master’s expression changed again, filled with horror.
“Block it!”
He shouted in alarm, completely burning the blood-stained severed hand, transforming it into a blood-colored Qi barrier that surrounded him.
With a boom, the heavens and earth shook, and a violent force surged in all directions.
With just one strike, the blood-colored Qi barrier dissipated by twenty percent.
“Chu Liang, there’s no grudge in this world that can’t be resolved!” The Treasure Pavilion Master suddenly shouted, “Your second uncle’s family is completely unharmed. I merely invited them as guests, and you’ve already killed my Lucky Cat. The feud between us isn’t that deep!”
“Continue, kill him.” Chu Liang’s expression remained indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard the Treasure Pavilion Master’s words, and he ordered the puppet giant to continue attacking.
“Chu Liang, leave a way out. Do you really want to force me into a corner?” The Treasure Pavilion Master roared.
While speaking, two more strikes landed, and the blood-colored Qi barrier trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
Battles between Grandmasters rarely forced one side into a desperate situation.
After all, everyone had one or two trump cards they were reluctant to use, only resorting to them in life-or-death situations. Once used, they could lead to mutual destruction or even death for both sides.
Boom!
The puppet giant still didn’t stop.
On the surface of the blood-colored Qi barrier, terrifying cracks appeared, clearly unable to hold on much longer.
This was Chu Liang’s response to the Treasure Pavilion Master.
He was indeed forcing him into a corner, and then he would thoroughly kill him!
“Chu Liangโ!”
The Treasure Pavilion Master roared fiercely, his eyes bloodshot, his expression growing increasingly crazed.
Although he possessed countless treasures, some capable of unleashing power beyond the Grandmaster level, they were all limited to one or two strikes, far inferior to this puppet that could attack continuously.
If they continued to fight, he would undoubtedly die!
“Chu Liang, you forced me to do this!” The Treasure Pavilion Master shouted hoarsely, using another treasure to barely block the puppet giant.
Then, he took out a massive blood-colored crystal and struck it with his palm.
Crack!
The crystal shattered and exploded, transforming into blood-colored dust.
A corpse covered in blood appeared, and as soon as it emerged, it caused the heavens and earth to change color. A terrifying and dreadful pressure spread out, seeming to suppress the entire world.
Without needing any explanation, at the first sight of the corpse, Chu Liang understood what it was.
An Immortal Corpse!
Even after death, an Immortal’s corpse still possessed boundless power.
“Bang!”
The Treasure Pavilion Master’s expression was fierce, and he struck his own chest with his palm. His face instantly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed directly on the Immortal Corpse.
This mouthful of blood seemed to contain all his power, and his aura instantly weakened.
He smiled miserably, his hair disheveled, like a madman at the end of his rope, and he roared hoarsely, “Chu Liang, you forced me to take this path early, you ruined everything I’ve accumulated! You will die today! You must die!”
The blood he spat out suddenly ignited, transforming into blood-colored flames that burned the entire Immortal Corpse.
In the distance, Chu Liang frowned slightly and ordered the puppet giant to continue attacking.
The burning Immortal Corpse made him feel slightly uneasy.
He waved his hand, releasing six other ordinary Grandmaster-level puppets.
“Attack together, break his defenses!”
The six puppets received the order and joined the battle, attacking in unison.
But the Treasure Pavilion Master had too many protective treasures. They shattered one after another, seemingly without end.
โโโ
Chu Liang also became ruthless, unleashing various destructive treasures as if they were worthless, trying to break through the Treasure Pavilion Master’s defenses, but to no avail.
The Treasure Pavilion Master shouted desperately, “Nine Nether Yellow Springs, guide me, burn my blood and bones, traverse the netherworld!”
Boom!
The heavens and earth changed dramatically, and the sky was swallowed by darkness.
Yin winds raged, and a chilling coldness permeated the air. Faintly, it seemed as if countless evil spirits were wailing, and the entire mortal world seemed to have become a netherworld hell.
“Ahโ!”
The Treasure Pavilion Master screamed in agony, his voice sharp, like a vengeful ghost.
Dark red flames suddenly ignited on his body, instantly spreading throughout, connecting with the blood fire on the Immortal Corpse, burning fiercely.
In the firelight, his body and the Immortal Corpse drew closer to each other, their skin melting from the intense heat, and then slowly fusing together. The entire process was horrifying.
He was actually fusing with the corpse!
Seeing this scene, even Chu Liang’s expression changed.
He had never seen such a bizarre scene before!
“Chu Liang, kill him immediately, or you will not escape death today. The entire Wenhai Prefectural City will suffer a calamity and become a dead city!” The puppet suddenly appeared in the distance, transmitting its voice to Chu Liang, its voice filled with urgency.
“What?” Chu Liang was shocked, “Senior, what’s going on?”
“Don’t worry about that now, listen to me. Immediately take out all the remaining Divine Blood Crystals, crush them all, and let the puppet giant absorb them, condensing the strongest possible strike.”
“Alright!”
Chu Liang did not doubt it and immediately began to act.
Divine Blood Crystals were extremely precious, impossible to find in the outside world, and only possibly discovered in the Western Regions Immortal Ascension Opportunity Land. Each one contained unimaginable essence.
And now, Chu Liang had nearly two hundred remaining.
He followed the puppet’s instructions, took them all out, crushed them all, and let the puppet giant completely absorb them.
“Buzzโ!”
The puppet giant trembled, emitting a brilliant divine light, and a terrifying aura continuously surged out.
The energy it was absorbing at this moment had already exceeded its limit.
Chu Liang made a decisive decision and commanded, “Go, kill the Treasure Pavilion Master!”
The puppet giant immediately erupted, flying to the burning blood fire, raising its giant sword high, gathering all its current power, as if it were about to split heaven and earth, and struck down with a single slash!
With a boom, all the protective treasures around the Treasure Pavilion Master shattered simultaneously, turning into scattered fragments.
The sword’s momentum did not stop, the sword light was earth-shattering, and it continued to slash down.
Crack!
The Treasure Pavilion Master and the Immortal Corpse were split in two, flesh and blood splattering, the fusion process forcibly interrupted.
“Ahhhhโ!”
The Treasure Pavilion Master screamed in agony. His skin had long since melted, leaving only horrifying blood and bones.
Then, the puppet giant struck again with its sword.
The sword light flashed!
Silence.
The blood fire finally extinguished, and the Treasure Pavilion Master’s wails ceased.
At this moment, the heavens and earth cleared, the yin winds dissipated, everything returned to peace, and the bright morning sun shone down, illuminating the surrounding mountains with a golden hue.
Thud!
The Immortal Corpse fell to the ground.
The Treasure Pavilion Master’s body also fell nearby, no longer recognizable as human.
His life force was rapidly dissipating, one foot already in King Yama’s Palace, with only half a breath left.
“No… no… my Immortal Path… I want to become an Immortal… become an Immortal…”
His voice trembled, filled with unwillingness, as he supported his broken, bloody body, using his blood-soaked hands to crawl, inching towards the Immortal Corpse, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
