Chapter 538: Evil Corpse

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Monk Lidi seemed to be oblivious to the unfriendly gazes from the people around him and said, “This is the point of no return. If we keep going, we will end up in hell. Xuanwu died there and we will certainly die if we break in. Only one in ten people are able to survive, and the person who does must be blessed by Buddha.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth, set their jaws and clenched their fists. They were ready to beat the Monk up.

Huang Yanchen frowned and approached Zhang Ruochen, saying in a low voice, “Zhang Ruochen, where is the monk from? Did he really foresee that or is he cursing us? If you know him, please ask him to shut up. If he continues talking nonsense, he will be beaten up by the soldiers of Primitive World on the warship.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head slowly and said, “This monk has a rather complicated origin. Just keep listening to him.”

A rocky island appeared in the front of them. From the distance, they could see that it was surrounded by cliffs and mountains.

The island was covered in red stones and sand but there was no sign of grass anywhere.

Monk Lidi squinted and screamed. He pointed to the island and said, “That’s the sea grave where a Half-Saint was buried. The corpse of the Half-Saint seemed to be possessed by some kind of weird power. He unexpectedly opened his eyes and climbed out of… the tomb… ”

“Bang!”

One of the men on board could not bear it any longer. He swung his fist and struck Monk Lidi’s head, who then fell onto the ground.

The men who beat the monk up were Evil Warriors of the Black Market.

The man’s name was Huo Guang and he looked fierce. He was Huo Wuji’s grandson. Although he was over 50, it looked as if he was only 30 years old.

With a cold look in his eyes, Huo Guang stepped on Monk Lidi’s chest and muttered, “Buddhist monk, if you have the nerve to continue saying all this nonsense, do you not think that I am brave enough to cut your tongue?”

Monk Lidi lay on the ground calmly, put his arms together, and said in a serious tone, “Amitabha! How can a monk talk nonsense? I swear to Buddha that I did not talk nonsense.”

As he grew more furious, Huo Guang clenched his fists. A current of blazing Genuine Qi burst out and enveloped his fists.

Before he could throw another punch, the Half-Saint class warship shook violently, as if it hit something. Huo Guang was shocked he nearly flew out.

Vessel-defending Formation sent a continuously widening circle of white ripples, emitting more dazzling light.

From the distance, the Vessel-defending Formation looked like a burning sun floating on the sea surface, with the warship in the center.

“What happened?”

“Who’s attacking the warship?”

…

Some of the soldiers of Primitive World panicked and looked around for signs of their enemy.

Zhang Rouchen’s face hardened as he secretly mobilized his Genuine Qi and cautiously looked around.

It’s impossible for an ordinary enemy to be able to cause the Half-Saint warship to shake.

A soldier of Primitive World exclaimed and pointed to the rocky island in the distance, saying, “Look! Is there a man on that island?”

Zhang Ruochen immediately looked at the rocky island. Although it was quite far away, he could see a man standing on the edge of a cliff on the northeast side of the island.

Actually, this island was small and baren so the entire island was visible the whole time.

No one was there earlier.

How could a figure suddenly appear?

Zhang Ruochen abruptly squinted his eyes and said, “That person looks headless.”

Apart from him, all the other soldiers of Primitive World also clearly saw that the figure on the island was indeed headless.

Huo Guang sneered and said, “It’s just a headless body. Perhaps someone was deliberately throwing us off to frighten us and prevent us from entering the Bloody Trench to seek for Xuanwu Heritage.”

He pulled out a two-meter-long Starry Silver Bone Bow and pulled the bowstring to form a full moon. A wisp of Genuine Qi poured out of his fingertips and condensed into a Blazing Genuine Qi Arrow.

The arrowhead was directed at the headless body on the island.

Monk Lidi immediately stopped him, saying, “Alms Giver, please calm down. Don’t startle it. It just climbed out of the sea grave and was absorbing the stagnant air between heaven and earth. If you disturb it, you’ll cause trouble.”

Huo Guang glared at Monk Lidi and said, “Buddhist monk, if you say anything else, I will shoot you.”

Looking at the headless body, Zhang Ruochen also had a sense of foreboding. He felt subtle fluctuations of Spiritual Qi from the sea. He also discovered that its source was the headless body.

He was about to stop Huo Guang until he saw that Huo Guang already unclasped his fingers.

The arrow flew outwards like a light shuttle.

Huo Guang had already reached the Third Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Besides, the Starry Silver Bone Bow was also an amazing weapon. The arrow he shot was powerful enough to sink the island.

The Blazing Genuine Qi Arrow darted through the air with incredible speed and pushed the air into an arc, producing the deafening sound of a Qi explosion.

Just when people thought the island would sink, a strange sight appeared.

They saw that the headless body standing at the edge of the cliff suddenly turned around and stretched out a hand into the void space.

“Boom!”

The Blazing Genuine Qi Arrow exploded and turned into a rain of fire, each droplet the size of a fist, falling into the sea.

The sea was boiling and produced bursts of sounds.

The headless bodied man’s abdomen let out a strange cry, which formed into a powerful sound wave that erupted out of the center of the rocky island.

“Boom!”

The sea was agitated and blasted a circular wave of about 33 meters high.

As the wave surged out, the part of the rocky island that was underwater was now exposed.

At that moment, the crowd saw that the island really looked like a tomb.

There was a huge stone tablet in front of the tomb. It was not apparent before because it was submerged in water.

Upon seeing this, Huo Guang was startled. He felt a chill of fear and could not help but take a step back.

The other soldiers of Primitive World stared speechlessly at one another. Many of them looked at Monk Lidi and secretly thought that the monk was not a jinx and everything he said was true.

“It… It’s gone… ” someone exclaimed.

Zhang Ruochen pointed to the top of his head, saying, “It isn’t gone but it is above our heads.”

Surely enough, the headless body had stealthily suspended itself above the Half-Saint class warship.

It wore rags and its flesh rotted away, exposing its bones.

“Boom!”

The headless body dropped down and threw a punch.

Before fully experiencing the fist strength, most soldiers of Primitive World on the warship fell over, bled from seven apertures and spasmed as if they were struck by lightning.

Even masters of the Fish-dragon Realm felt an exceptionally large pressure. With both legs shivering, they were almost kneeling on the ground.

Was it really a Half-Saint’s corpse?

“Boom!”

Fortunately, its fist was blocked by the Vessel-defending Formation, so it did not exert any power.

Even so, the Half-Saint class warship abruptly sank, almost reaching the bottom of the sea.

“It was a Half-Saint evil corpse buried here in the ancient times. A Vessel-defending Formation can’t ward it off, so we must immediately initiate the second Vessel-defending Formation.”

After all, Situ Fenglan was an experienced master. When faced by a Half-Saint evil corpse, he still remained calm. He calmly ordered the Array Master on the warship to initiate the second Vessel-defending Formation.

Meanwhile, the Fire God Array, the strongest array of the warship, alongside the encouragement of 9,000,000 Spiritual Crystals, launched a counterattack against the Half-Saint evil corpse.

Witnessing just how strong the Half-Saint class warship’s defensive power and attack force was allowed the soldiers of Primitive World to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ao Xinyan said, “What a horrible monster! Fortunately, the Half-Saint class warship is so powerful that it was able to block its attacks. Otherwise, we would all probably die here.”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the Half-Saint evil corpse, who continuously launched attacks. He was not relaxed just yet but looked more solemn.

Ao Xinyan saw an extraordinary expression on his face and asked, “Group Leader, do you think that the Half-Saint class warship can’t resist the Half-Saint evil corpse?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “The Half-Saint class warship was powerful because it was equipped with more than 100 arrays which cooperated to form a strong defensive power and attack force.”

“However, it must consume a large amount of Spiritual Crystals to motivate these arrays.”

“Once the Spiritual Crystals on the warship were consumed, the Half-Saint class warship was just an ordinary boat.”

Ao Xinyan said, “Group Leader, are you afraid that we won’t be able to beat the Half-Saint evil corpse back even if we consume all the Spiritual Crystals on this warship?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “The reason why Half-Saint evil corpse can ‘live’ so long is that the Divine Soul inside it has turned into Half-Saint’s Light after its death.”

“Under the influence of Bloody Trench, Half-Saint’s Light has experienced some weird changes. Because of this, the Half-Saint evil corpse can make use of Half-Saint’s Light to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, rendering it into endless attack power.”

“If the Half-Saint warship can’t wipe out the Half-Saint evil corpse before Spiritual Crystals are used up, we will face a very dangerous situation.”

Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen’s explanation, Ao Xinyan, Huang Yanchen, and Orange Star Emissary became nervous. Even Evil Warriors of the Black Market changed their facial expressions greatly.

If there was no protection from the Half-Saint class warship, who could withstand the Half-Saint evil corpse?

“Clap!”

Green-robed Emissary coldly glared at Huo Guang and spanked him, scolding, “You are a reckless fool! If you haven’t provoked the Half-Saint evil corpse, how could we have fallen into despair? If the Half-Saint class warship is destroyed, I’ll be the first to throw you out to feed it.”
