Chapter 306 The Emperor’s Corpse Appears
As soon as Liang Yang got out of the trap, he didn't hesitate at all. With a pinch of the sword technique in his right hand, the fixed light sword turned into a stream of silvery white light and slashed towards Wen Tao's head.
Wen Tao is also one of the three guardians of the Dead Man's Tomb. He is in the late stage of foundation building. Although something happened suddenly at this moment, he came to his senses in just a moment and stretched out his hand on the black coffin behind the young man in yellow shirt. A hard beat.
boom! A muffled sound. The black coffin was torn apart, and a red figure jumped out of it. The figure raised his hand in mid-air and saw circles of red ripples spreading out, actually blocking Liang Yan's fixed light sword.
Liang Yan was shocked and looked intently, only to see a female corpse in red in the air opposite.
The female corpse was wearing a silk silk dress, with fluttering red sleeves on her hands. The red ripples spreading in mid-air turned out to be her pair of long sleeves.
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, and changed the sword technique in his hand. The fixed light sword transformed from one to three, slashing out from different angles, trying to bypass the long sleeves in the sky and strike at Wen Tao himself.
But even though he had a good idea, the female corpse in red didn't allow him to do it at all. Although the three fixed-light swords come and go at will, their attacks are mysterious and unpredictable. But the red sleeves of the female corpse in red clothes are still changing. No matter how hard Liang Yan tried to activate the fixed light sword, he would always be entangled in the red sleeves, wearing away his sword intent layer by layer until the attack was completely resolved.
"This female corpse is so strange!" Liang Yan thought to himself when he saw this: "The other bronze corpses in the dead man's tomb are all extremely strong, fierce, powerful and heavy. But this Wen Tao's bronze corpse is a trained corpse. You have to have a soft hand, and when you strike with the sword, it's like cutting on cotton, and you can't put any force at all!"
In fact, he didn't know that Wen Tao's female corpse in red had a great origin. His true identity is Wen Tao's Taoist companion, Honglian.
A few decades ago, the bronze corpse used by Wen Tao was no different from that of Yu Wenshou and others, and they were also following an unparalleled and domineering route. Honglian, on the other hand, is a disciple of an authentic Confucian sect, and his cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building.
The two met and fell in love by chance and became a Taoist couple. But the good times didn't last long. Later, during a siege by enemies, Honglian was outnumbered and died, leaving only a corpse. Wen Tao and her were truly in love, but he couldn't accept this fact, so he spent decades refining Honglian's corpse into his own bronze corpse.
Wen Tao was originally a person in the corpse path, which was completely different from the worldly view. In his consciousness, he did not think that this was an act of desecrating the corpse. Instead, he felt that it was another way to stay with his beloved wife.
When Hong Lian was still alive, she was a Confucian disciple, her cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building, and her master's "Nine Turns of Exquisite Strength" was even more unpredictable and powerful. Later, Wen Tao used it to make a bronze corpse, and he inherited the softness of her hands, so it was very different from the other bronze corpses in the dead man's tomb.
Liang Yan used the two magical powers of "Tian Ji Bian" and "Ksitigarbha Sheng" to repeatedly chop dozens of swords in mid-air, and only cut off a few sections of her long sleeves. On the other hand, the female corpse opposite him remained in place with her. He was fighting in the air with ease.
Liang Yan sighed secretly when he saw this, knowing that he was no match for this person in a one-on-one fight. He had originally planned to test his own strength.
But after this fight, he also clearly understood that with his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he could compete with the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, but if he wanted to compete with these monks in the late stage of foundation building, he would still have to fight. There is a lot of difference in heat.
"Forget it, Lao Jin, I'll let you do it instead!"
Liang Yan had no choice but to put away his lightsaber, took a few steps back, and made a gesture of giving in.
"Hehe, Mr. Liang, it seems you are still a little too young." Lao Jin chuckled, took a few steps forward, and at the same time raised his right hand, as if he was about to use some magical power.
At this moment, a faint muffled sound was heard, as if something that had been buried for a long time was about to come out.
Although Liang Yan's cultivation level was not the highest in the field, his six senses were sharp and he noticed something strange almost immediately. His heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the golden coffin not far away, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.
"Something's wrong!"
Liang Yan frowned and subconsciously looked back at Lao Jin, only to see him looking at him with the same surprised look on his face. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Quickly retreat!"
Liang Yan shouted and flew towards the passage of the cave almost at the same time as Lao Jin. When Ji Lai and Murong Xuewei saw this, although they didn't understand what happened, they saw that Liang Yan and Lao Jin were fleeing towards the entrance of the cave, and since their cultivation levels were not high, they did not dare to stay here.
The four people fled towards the entrance of the cave at the same time. Wen Tao had already reacted at this moment. As the guardian of the dead man's tomb, he naturally knew what happened. He was immediately overjoyed and ordered to the red-clothed female corpse in the air:
"Guren, go and stop them!"
After receiving the order, the female corpse in red immediately took action with lightning. Two red sleeves stretched for dozens of miles and hit Liang Yan and others in the back.
"Stalker!"
Lao Jin yelled angrily, turned around and smacked his palm out in the air. He saw a yellow haze coming, and the continuous red sleeves were all sucked in. After a while, they turned into pieces and fell from the mid-air.
On Liang Yan's side, he was twisting the sword with his hands, and the fixed light sword was like a phantom of light, cutting off the other red sleeve several feet away.
The two red sleeves were blocked at the same time, and the four of them no longer cared about what was behind them, turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, suddenly heard bang! With a loud bang, the lid of the golden coffin was seen flying into the sky, and then several golden lights lit up. A big hand like a cattail leaf, which was larger than a human, stretched out from the inside and grabbed the edge of the coffin board.
The moment the big hand reached out, an invisible pressure swept across the entire cave. Even though Liang Yan, Lao Jin and others were dozens of miles away, they felt out of breath.
Among the four of them, Liang Yan and Lao Jin were the fastest. At this moment, they had reached the edge of the cave entrance. They were about to plunge into the passage they entered when they saw a golden light flashing around the entrance, and a wave of energy suddenly appeared. A layer of golden barrier stopped the two people who were fleeing.
Lao Jin's face was gloomy. He pinched several spells with both hands and hit the golden light curtain continuously, but there was no reaction at all. Judging from the appearance of this barrier, it is actually many times stronger than Wen Tao's previous barrier of Qianyuan Bone Eating Blood Array.
When Liang Yan and others saw that there was no response even to Lao Jin's attack, they couldn't help but stop hiding and looked at each other in mid-air.
In just this moment, another giant hand stretched out from the golden coffin and grasped the other side of the coffin board. Then with a slight exertion of both hands, a giant corpse like an iron tower slowly sat up from it.
The giant corpse wore an eight-treasure crown with a bead curtain on its head, a Nine-Dragon Emperor robe on its body, and a purple-gold glazed jade belt around its waist. It also wore a bright silver dragon ring on its right thumb. Although his eyes were not open at this moment, there was a kingly aura sweeping over him. Even cultivators like Liang Yan couldn't help but feel the urge to worship in their hearts.
"Emperor Corpse!"
Wen Tao had already knelt down at this moment, kowtowing repeatedly to the giant corpse sitting in the golden coffin, and shouted with a fanatical look on his face: "God bless my dead man's tomb!"
