263 Chapter 263, Corpse Guards
If it had been someone else who had barged into the Superstar Shrine, Hong Yujiu would have made his move long ago. Just like Ao Chu, who had been killed by Yang Tian, Hong Yujiu had severely punished him after just a few words.
At this moment, the boundless star Lord had arrived, but Hong Yujiu did not have any ‘reaction’.
The boundless star Lord’s laughter spread far and wide. In addition to the commotion just now, many temple guards immediately rushed to the star observation platform. A large number of temple guards in black armor surrounded the entire star observation platform.
Hong Yujiu waved his hand at these guards. The guards immediately let out a sigh of relief. They came like a tide and retreated like a tide.
This was the strength of an expert. No matter where he went, he would cause people to fear him.
Seeing that the superstar temple guards had retreated, Boundless Star Lord came before Qin Fei and said with a smile, “Little Fei, don’t worry. I’ll go take a look. That kid called Yang Tian isn’t bad. He has already walked out of the Death Star Field.”
Hearing this news, Qin Fei’s eyes widened, full of surprise and joy.
..
Three days passed very quickly.
Yang Tian had already recuperated himself, and the injuries on his body had almost recovered. After absorbing a large amount of star crystals, the energy in his body became extremely abundant.
The Little Azure Dragon was the same. At least, he looked much more energetic than he had in three days.
It was time to see what was inside the palace.
The gravity here wasn’t very strong. Yang Tian, who was used to walking under the gravity of planets, felt like he was running when he walked. He didn’t need much strength to run quickly here.
Soon, Yang Tian arrived in front of the main entrance of the palace.
In front of the main entrance of the palace, there were two domineering statues of exotic beasts. They were more than ten meters tall. One of them was a beast with wings and a body like a snake. It spread its wings and raised its head, as if it was going to fly into the sky at any time.
The other exotic beast looked like a fierce tiger. Its body was covered in scales, and it had two curved horns. Its four thick legs were on the ground, and its body was leaning back, as if it was going to pounce at any moment.
Although the two statues were huge, they were carved extremely delicately. It looked as if the real exotic beasts had been petrified and placed here.
After walking past the two exotic beast statues, they walked a few dozen meters forward and came to a stone staircase.
After walking up the stairs for another ten meters or so, they arrived at the main entrance of the palace. The door was open, and it was pitch-black inside, so they couldn’t see what was going on inside.
From the two exotic beast statues to the two sides of the main entrance, there were two statues of soldiers holding spears and weapons every few steps.
These statues were the same size as real people, and they were also very finely carved. There were hundreds of them, and their faces and expressions were all different.
“Ka Ka Ka...”
Yang Tian had just stepped up the stone steps and was about to pass through when suddenly, the statues made cracking sounds.
It was extremely quiet here, and the cracking sounds of the statues were very clear.
Yang Tian immediately stopped in his footsteps.
“Crack crack crack...”
Not only were the statues on both sides of the stone steps cracking, cracks had appeared on the surface of all the statues. It was as if something was sealed within, and it was about to break out of the stone.
This kind of situation seemed extremely strange!
“Crack crack crack... crack crack crack...”
The statue shattered, and the stones on the surface continued to fall and smash onto the stone slab, causing a sound like the patting of Raindrops. During this process, Yang Tian was surprised to discover that after the statue shattered, there were indeed ‘living creatures’Inside!
After the human-shaped stone statue shattered, dried human bodies were revealed.
“Whoosh”
The moment these dried human bodies came out, they opened their mouths and took in a deep breath. Their bodies seemed to be inflated, and they rapidly expanded. Their wrinkled skin seemed to have absorbed water, and their skin gradually tensed up, they became lustrous.
These ‘dried corpses’actually started to come to life.
No! They didn’t come to life.
Yang Tian quickly determined that these were all corpses because he couldn’t sense any life aura from their bodies. Instead, their entire bodies emitted a decaying smell.
This was the smell of death, and these people were all corpse guards!
Yang Tian gripped the knife in his hand tightly. Although these corpses didn’t show any signs of life, it was definitely not a good thing that they could move.
Yang Tian raised his eyes to look ahead and began to slowly retreat.
Because it wasn’t just the corpse guards in front of the main entrance, there were also a large number of corpse guards holding weapons surging out from the main entrance of the palace.
Although these corpse guards didn’t have any life, their bodies emitted energy fluctuations. They seemed very powerful, and could even be compared to Earth’s level nine martial artists.
Although they were just lifeless corpses, their speed was extremely agile and not stiff at all.
When Yang Tian retreated, behind him, a large rock fell to the ground, making a loud cracking sound.
It turned out that not only the human-shaped statues were broken, but even the two huge beast-shaped statues were also broken. Two beast-shaped corpse guards that could move appeared.
“Hu!”Suddenly, the two corpse guards closest to Yang Tian pounced at Yang Tian and stabbed at him with the spears in their hands.
After these corpse guards ‘woke up’, their eyes emitted a dark red light, and their expressions were extremely ferocious. They looked extremely terrifying.
“Chi Chi!”
Facing the two corpse guards that pounced at him, Yang Tian quickly slashed out two blades.
Two red wind blades shot out from the blades and slashed at the two corpse guards.
“Pu Pu!”
The red wind blades were extremely sharp and split the two corpse guards into two halves.
What surprised Yang Tian was that even though the two halves of the body were split into two halves, the two halves of the corpse were still moving. Their hands and feet kept swinging, and a thick, black liquid flowed out from the wound on the body, there was actually no internal organs in its abdominal cavity!
“Whoosh”
...
A strong wind sound suddenly sounded behind Yang Tian.
It turned out to be the winged snake that had ‘woken up’. It flew into the sky and pounced towards Yang Tian.
At the same time, the Tiger Beast on the other side opened its mouth after the stones on the surface of its body fell off and also rushed towards Yang Tian.
Yang Tian stomped his feet on the ground and dodged to the side.
“Boom!”
“Bang!”
The winged snake missed and its body crashed into the hard stone slab. The stone slab shattered and the rocks flew in all directions.
The Tiger Beast coincidentally crashed into the winged snake’s body.
The two gigantic creatures rolled together and rolled towards the main entrance of the palace. They let out a rumbling sound and shook the ground. A large number of human-shaped corpse guards were crushed to the ground and their bodies shattered, they were unable to get up again.
After Yang Tian dodged to the side, he couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this situation.
It seemed that these corpse guards didn’t have the ability to think at all. They were all instinctive attacks, and weren’t even as good as low-level earthworms.
...
Yang Tian had already thought of a way to deal with them quickly.
After rolling for a while, the two enormous corpse guards finally stopped at the entrance of the palace. Then, they separated and charged toward Yang Tian again.
“Chi!”
Yang Tian slashed at the winged snake that had just flown into the air.
With a ‘Pu’sound, one of the winged snake’s bat-like wings was cut off. With only one wing, it could no longer fly. It fell from the sky with a ‘peng’sound, it crashed heavily onto the ground.
“Chi Chi Chi...”
Yang Tian no longer cared about the winged snake. He continued to dodge and slashed at the human-shaped corpse guards and tiger beasts that were charging at him.
Most of the wind blades that he slashed out were used to destroy the legs of these corpse guards. Without legs, although they could still move, they could no longer attack Yang Tian.
