Chapter 83 Blood Undead
Qin Feng destroyed an awakened spirit in a single hit . Then, he turned to take a quick look at the situation and asked in a puzzled tone, “Why is there an undead king inside the spirit nest? Did the one I face back then not die?”
Ye Shaoyang did not reply, as he was not in the mood to dig up the history of things .
The undead king was now in his proximity, so Ye Shaoyang took out eight ancient Chinese coins, chanted an incantation, and hurled out the coins .
“Grrr… . ”
The undead king roared angrily, and the ground shook . Then, it swung its arms at the coins and easily pushed them away . The undead king turned its focus to its assailant and charged Ye Shaoyang at full speed .
“Lengyu, come help me for a bit! Xiao Ma and sister Yuqing, you guys go and take her post!”
The two of them quickly moved to the path that Rui Lengyu guarded . On the other hand, Rui Lengyu was rather unreceptive . She walked toward Ye Shaoyang and asked, “You can’t handle an undead king on your own?”
“Help me attract its attention for a minute . You don’t need to go all out, just dodge its attacks . ” After he said this, Ye Shaoyang immediately backed off and went to do something . Before Rui Lengyu could even question him, the undead king had already rushed in her direction . As such, she had no choice but to fulfill Ye Shaoyang’s request . Despite the undead king’s greater speed compared to the average undead, it did not faze Rui Lengyu . Her nimble and agile movements made it almost impossible for the undead king to land a hit on her .
On the other side, Ye Shaoyang called Old Guo over and asked, “Please give me one and half kilograms of gold dust, one kilogram of cinnabar powder, five grams of mermaid oil, 10 grams of cicada exuviae, and one and a half kilograms of water!”
After he heard the request, Old Guo immediately knew what Ye Shaoyang wanted to do . Before he came here, Old Guo had already prepared the necessary ingredients . So, he swiftly opened his bag and used his fingers to pick out the exact amount . He did not even need to use a measuring tool . This was another Maoshan Sect specialty, to create the best mix at the fastest speed . They had to mix all potions on the spot in order to maximize its effects . If they used a scale and slowly measured out everything, they would probably die many times over . However, this skill still required hard work and time to master .
Old Guo’s actions were masterful; he did not even take a minute to finish the formula . Then, Ye Shaoyang took out his writing brush and quickly used the formula to draw glyphs on multiple sheets of talisman paper . Even after he drew ten of them, he still continued to draw more . When Old Guo noticed this, he asked in shock, “Jinsha undead restraining talisman paper . One is enough for a violent undead, three for an undead lord, and seven are enough for an undead king . Why are you drawing so many?”
“I have a feeling that this guy is no ordinary undead king . ”
When he finished around twenty talisman papers, Ye Shaoyang felt that he had made enough . He looked up and saw that the undead king was furiously trying to kill Rui Lengyu . However, she would always dodge the attacks at the last moment . Her skills as a whisperer left Ye Shaoyang secretly impressed . Right then, Ye Shaoyang saw a chance for him to attack . He launched himself toward the undead and aimed the date wood sword at the undead king’s back . However, the undead king was not stupid . As soon as it felt a change in the air flow, it immediately turned around and swung its arm out .
“Got you,” Ye Shaoyang laughed . Then, like a thread through a needle eye, his left hand weaved its way around and stuck the talisman paper on its shoulder . Once he accomplished this, he told Rui Lengyu, “Let me deal with it now . ”
Rui Lengyu did not even bother to respond . She just turned her back on him and went back to the path she guarded .
Even though he had stuck one talisman paper onto the undead king, it still moved normally . It chased Ye Shaoyang like a madman . Ye Shaoyang used his Maoshan Qinggong to avoid the attacks . Like Rui Lengyu, he constantly moved, as he looked for opportunities to stick more talisman papers onto the undead king . As the number of talisman papers on the undead king increased, its movement speed fell . This lowered speed gave Ye Shaoyang more openings and allowed him to continuously stick talisman papers onto it . After about twenty talisman papers, Ye Shaoyang had finally restrained the undead king . Its body stiffened; its legs glued to the ground . Only its arms still moved—slowly and stiffly like a mummy .
Finally, Ye Shaoyang let out a breath of relief . He took out his date wood sword and prepared to end it . Then, something unbelievable happened . The undead king raised its head and let out an incredible roar . Instantly, all its undead Qi gathered at its arms, which allowed it to temporarily cancel out the effects of the Jinsha undead restraining talisman papers . In a second or two, the undead reached for its scalp and ripped apart its own skin, all the way till its chest area . This extremely grotesque scene shocked Ye Shaoyang . When he finally came to his senses, he had already missed the opportunity to give a deadly strike . The undead king had already torn off half its skin, and it forcibly jumped out from its skin shell!
The talisman papers he had stuck to its skin were basically rendered useless because they were no longer attached to the undead .
He had no time to draw more talisman papers . In an act of desperation, Ye Shaoyang unsheathed the Qixing Dragon Sword and prepared to slash the undead king . But it felt the intense power of the sword and immediately backed off .
Right then, the Formation of Eight Paths had another round of rotation . Everyone that guarded the paths took this opportunity to take a look at what had happened . The undead king now looked completely different . Its body had a vibrant red coloration, and a layer of glossy green, sticky fluid covered it . Fat, vigorous worms wriggled between its muscles, as they crawled in and out of its flesh .
“Oh my god, those are earthworms!” Xie Yuqing exclaimed . Then, she proceeded to vomit .
“Those aren’t earthworms; they are blood undead worms!” Ye Shaoyang yelled, “This is not an average undead king, this is a blood undead!”
A blood undead, a special form of undead king . They are typically formed in areas that harbor a great amount of blood . Although they had the same characteristics as an undead king, their cultivations differ . The blood undead used blood to cultivate to gain a faster cultivation . Blood undead worms were usually found on blood undead . These worms had an aggressive nature and an intense lust for blood .
“Aooo… . ”
A loud wail came from the Formation of Eight Paths . Ye Shaoyang turned to check and saw a Japanese general . The spirit wielded a katana, as it rushed out from the path of life . It was not an ordinary spirit, as it emitted a purplish black light .
“A supreme spirit!” The presence of other powerful spirits in the spirit nest stunned Ye Shaoyang .
Rui Lengyu raised her Soul Rending Staff and readied herself to face the Japanese general . At the same time, the blood undead sprung toward Ye Shaoyang . Now, he became very anxious . Rui Lengyu and himself, two of the stronger sorcerers, were currently occupied . If Feng Xinyu came out and attacked them now, the results would be disastrous .
Ye Shaoyang knew what he had to do . He swiftly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Qixing Dragon Sword . Then, he raised the sword and chanted, “In accordance to the imperial decree of Sanqing, the Qixing Dragon Sword shall slaughter all evil and reduce them to ashes!”
Just as Ye Shaoyang finished his chant, the blood undead came into perfect striking distance . Ye Shaoyang took the chance and swung his sword down . He managed to split the undead’s head . In an instant, black Qi shot out from its head, but this undead would not go down without a fight . With its last ounce of strength, both of its arms reached out, as it tried to strangle Ye Shaoyang . Even though they did not have enough strength, the blood undead worms on its arms hastily crawled onto Ye Shaoyang’s face .
