The roars of withered corpses rapidly approached. The thunderous rumbling was sufficient proof of just how many there were. Qin Yu’s complexion immediately paled.

When it rains, it pours…there was the decayed corpse waiting outside and a storm of withered corpses within. In just a moment, he was placed in a desperate situation with nowhere to go.

Bang –

At the end of his line of sight, several houses loudly broke apart, instantly smashed into pieces by withered corpses. They cried in excitement and started racing somewhere within.

Qin Yu looked up to see a group of female cultivators. In contrast to their gentle and charming appearances, their actions were swift and fierce.

In particular, that female cultivator with a veil covering her face. She seemed to practice some sort of ice-attribute supernatural art. Any withered corpse that approached her was instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

Behind them were three men that were barely managing to support beneath the onslaught of withered corpses…mm? It was them!

Qin Yu’s eyes darkened.

Lei Fang seemed to sense something. He turned and welcomed Qin Yu’s gaze. His eyes widened and he immediately clenched his teeth.

The Demonic Path always covered up their errors. Although Lei Fang had a valuable status, he didn’t want to be remembered by the Demonic Path.

From the moment he attacked that day, Lei Fang didn’t plan to let Qin Yu continue living. However, because the decayed corpse had suddenly stopped, he had been so overjoyed he accidently let Qin Yu escape.

He had originally felt a little restless about the incident. Now that he met Qin Yu again today, things couldn’t be any better. Lei Fang’s eyes brightened. He lifted his hand, took out a purple jade pendant, and grinded it to dust.

Bang –

A purple halo of light erupted. It wrapped around the surrounding withered corpses. However, instead of shrinking and crushing them, the sphere of light suppressed many withered corpses, lifting them up through the air and moving them away.

Looking at the sphere of light howling in his direction, Qin Yu’s eyes immediately sizzled with killing intent. He understood just what Lei Fang’s cruel intentions were.

To divert trouble to someone else and murder with a borrowed knife…wasn’t he already used to this move?

Pa –

The purple sphere of light shattered and a number of withered corpses rained down from the skies. Although they were still attracted to Shen Yuanyin’s aura, this bag of flesh and blood in front of them wasn’t too bad either. Seeing that they couldn’t break through the layers of encirclement, the withered corpses hesitated for a brief moment before they adjusted their postures and threw themselves at Qin Yu.

“Humph!” With a cold snort, Qin Yu took a step forward. The floor shattered into countless blocks that rose up into the air, floating all around him.

With a flick of his sleeves, all of these blocks were wrapped up in a terrifying strength. Then, they tore through the air and shot out in all directions.

Bang –

Bang –

Withered corpse after withered corpse was pierced through by these stone blocks. The formidable strength continued to push their bodies, sending them flying backwards.

In the blink of an eye, the area around Qin Yu had been completely cleared!

Lei Fang’s heart trembled. On the day when Qin Yu ran away from them, he hadn’t revealed his true cultivation.

This strike was more than astonishing.

With such a cultivation, how could he be a minor character in the Demonic Path?

Now that both sides had a blood grudge with each other, they could no longer resolve this. If this person didn’t die before he left the Sea of Purgatory, there would likely be trouble in the future.

His eyes turning, Lei Fang shouted out, “Fairy maidens, that person is incredibly strong! Perhaps he might be able to share the burden with us!”

Shen Yuanyin’s faint eyes fell on Qin Yu’s body. Although he was wearing a suit of black armor and she couldn’t see his appearance, she didn’t know why but her heart shook.

But this trembling of her heart lasted for only an instant before it was crushed by her powerful will. Then, her indifferent eyes became even colder.

At this time, Shen Yuanyin suddenly thought that she loathed this person.

When the seven female cultivators saw their Palace Master fall silent, their figures turned and they soared toward Qin Yu.

Although it looked as if they were easily cutting down everything in their path, the truth was that their losses were terrifying; they wouldn’t be able to maintain this state for too long. Sharing the pressure with someone else was undoubtedly the best choice.

As for whether or not this would put Qin Yu in a dangerous position…they didn’t care about this at all.

As long as the Palace Master remained safe and sound, what did it matter? Much less than one person dying, who cared if life had to fade like scattered coals, or even if a hundred million people died?

Qin Yu’s eyes were cold. He swept over the several people. In his eyes, these female cultivators were in the same group as Lei Fang.

Although he feared the decayed corpse, he really didn’t want to fall into a tide of withered corpses. Moreover, there were also these people that all had ill intent in their hearts.

His eyes turned colder. Qin Yu took a step forward and rushed right out of the city ruins, speeding in a completely different direction.

Roar –

The decayed corpse roared out loud. As it moved, the earth shook with every step.

As Lei Fang was rushing towards Qin Yu, his heart full of vigor, he suddenly stopped and screamed out loud, “Don’t go, that decayed corpse is too terrifying!”

Shen Yuanyin paused. This wasn’t because of Lei Fang’s warning, but because she could feel a potent aura from the decayed corpse, one that made her feel dread.

What a terrifying creature!

The decayed corpse glanced at her and its eyes brightened. But after hesitating a little it didn’t stop, instead continuing to race towards Qin Yu.

This female child’s blood energy was very good, but comparatively speaking, it liked the little fellow in front even more…this aura was very, very familiar, as if it had eaten something similar a long time ago…

It subconsciously licked its lips and grinned. Although it didn’t remember too clearly, it must have been unbelievably delicious. Otherwise, how could it have not forgotten about it, even after all this time?

Weng –

The decayed corpse’s body trembled. Then, it instantly turned into a black mass of fog that vanished where it was.

Rushing forward, Qin Yu’s heart suddenly and violently contracted. He came to a sudden halt, his feet crashing into the ground, causing mud and stone to splash into the air.

He looked up ahead. Black fog appeared out of nowhere, collapsing inward as it condensed into a form.

“Little thing, where do you think you’re running to?”

A low and deep voice echoed out in his heart.

Qin Yu took a deep breath. He turned and continued running.

When he first saw this decayed corpse he had already sensed its great strength. But today, it was clearly even stronger than before. He knew he couldn’t face it.

But before he had run too far, the black fog appeared once more. The decayed corpse cackled, “Stop struggling. Let me eat you.”

What a freak!

Only an idiot wouldn’t run!

Qin Yu turned around and fled, without any hesitation at all.

“Humph!”

The decayed corpse coldly sneered. In the next moment a terrifying aura arrived. It was like a divine mountain towering from the highest heavens, suppressing the world!

Qin Yu roared out loud. His feet smashed into the ground and his speed instantly accelerated.

In the next moment, the place where he had just been standing suddenly collapsed, revealing a massive handprint in the ground.

“Your reactions are fast, but just how many times can you evade?”

The terrifying feeling appeared once more.

Qin Yu fiercely dodged to the side. He could hear the groaning of his leg bones in his ears.

The Emperor level Demon Body was indeed strong, but it couldn’t withstand continuously erupting with a strength that surpassed its limits.

“Undying, can we escape?”

Qin Yu roared out in his heart.

Undying’s calm voice answered back, “This decayed corpse has some supernatural art that has locked onto your aura. Unless you can block or terminate this targeting power, no matter how far you run you will eventually be overtaken.”

There were some words that Undying hadn’t said. He was almost sure that this decayed corpse must have been some great figure before its death.

He really couldn’t imagine what it had experienced to make it fall into such a situation, still existing in this state.

Qin Yu’s heart sank. His thoughts raced and a sharp light soon flashed in his eyes. He had come to a decision.

Diverting trouble, right? You’re not the only one that knows this move!

Bang –

The ground shook. Qin Yu’s figure stormed away, dodging another one of the decayed corpse’s attacks. He sped towards the city ruins.

Although the surge of withered corpses was terrifying, it was still the lesser of two evils. While returning to the ruins was risky, at least he had a chance to survive there.

The decayed corpse could clearly sense Qin Yu’s intentions. It roared out loud, its sharp screams like a thorn drilling deep into his brain.

Qin Yu staggered. He stuffily coughed as a bit of blood flowed out from his mouth and nose. He swayed about like a panicked donkey.

He looked at the collapsed earth and the attack that just missed him by a few inches. He gulped hard, not feeling any shame at all.

Luckily, he hadn’t run too far away from the city ruins. After dodging two more attacks he could see the ruins coming into view.

But right now, countless withered corpses were gathered at its edges. They cried out loud, constantly surging forward like a raging sea of red and purple.

Even if the withered corpses that rushed ahead were instantly killed, they still rushed forward like moths to a flame, completely disregarding any potential dangers.

Although Qin Yu really wanted to watch these people die without a burial ground, the present situation left him with no choice.

Bang –

Strength flushed through his legs and he leapt up into the air. Then, like a massive stone falling down, he crashed into the ground. Endless mud and stones splashed out in all directions and numerous withered corpses were sent flying away.

Without caring for the surroundings, Qin Yu looked outside the city. The giant figure of the decayed corpse had stopped and its eyes were stubbornly locked onto him.

It hadn’t come!

Qin Yu finally relaxed a little. He let out a long breath of relief. It was only now that he felt the soreness passing up through his legs and into his entire body, making him feel thoroughly exhausted.

Although the chase had only lasted for a brief time, every breath of time was like walking upon the edge of a knife. Every moment carried the possibility of death.

The slightest mistake and he would have become food between the lips of that decayed corpse.

The withered corpses wouldn’t give Qin Yu time to rest. This was food that had delivered itself right to their doors, and the flavor was quite good too. There was no reason for them to miss out on it.

Qin Yu took a deep breath. His thoughts stirred and he vanished from sight.

In the next moment his figure appeared in the space within the Ninerealm Holy Land’s Saint Son Token. When he looked up, he could clearly see everything that was happening outside.

Although the withered corpses maintained a portion of their intelligence, they clearly didn’t have the ability to sense the location of the Saint Son Token.

In addition, with Shen Yuanyin’s aura serving as a constantly tempting target, after they lost their target they only hesitated for a moment before turning and running back to their original prey.

Qin Yu sat down, took out some pills, and swallowed them. He stimulated his cultivation with all his might to refine the pills.

When Lei Fang saw that Qin Yu had returned, he was stunned for a brief moment. This brat was actually stupid enough to run back all the way here?

But in the next moment he saw the decayed corpse keeping guard outside the city ruins. His entire body froze.

That bastard!

These withered corpses were terrifying enough, but now he actually brought back an even more horrifying fellow.

The city ruins had a formidable imprisoning ability against the withered corpses; they couldn’t leave at will. Thus, as long as they were able to rush out of the ruins they could rid themselves of them. Because of this, just as the group was arriving at the edge of the city ruins, the withered corpses began to wildly and recklessly try to stop them.

But just as they were about to break out of the encirclement, Qin Yu actually brought them such a present. If they were to cut their way out of the ruins, they would have to welcome the terrifying attack of the decayed corpse.

Then, because Qin Yu had suddenly vanished, the decayed corpse fell into a violent rage. Black energy surged all around its body.

The sight of this nearly caused Lei Fang to faint!

He couldn’t resign himself to die…he absolutely couldn’t…these women from the Immortal Sect might have some chance of surviving, but his arms and feet had already turned limp. Where would he have the chance to escape?

The decayed corpse had chased after Qin Yu when he left and now it had chased him back; it was clear he was its true goal! As long as he could force Qin Yu out, the danger of the decayed corpse could be solved…yes, this was it!

Lei Fang screamed, “Senior-apprentice sisters, that person has the heart and ambition of a wolf! Since he placed us in a deathtrap, we cannot let him go!”

Qin Yu had brought the decayed corpse back and had also hidden himself away somehow. When the seven women heard Lei Fang say this, their eyes turned icy cold.

Shen Yuanyin wrinkled her eyebrows. She suddenly lifted her hand and pointed at the void.

Although the movement of her finger seemed light, it was like a mountain falling down from the skies, crashing into a great lake.

In an instant, wild waves surged out, spreading in all directions.

Within the space of the Saint Son Token, Qin Yu’s complexion changed color. He looked up at the female cultivator with a veil that covered her face, and his eyes iced over.

In the next moment, the space he was in seemed to synchronize with the outside. Ripples began to appear around him.

Although they were weak and there wasn’t much killing strength, it was enough to force him out.

Shua –
