Chapter 1281
byInside Burial Male Valley, Yang Yan stood in place, looking at the two incomplete maps in her hands, her expression flickering uncertainly. Because the two incomplete maps had led her here and there was no continuation.
To have groped to this extent with only two incomplete maps could also be considered Yang Yan’s ability. But now, no matter what, she couldn’t determine where the final position pointed to by the incomplete maps was. She only knew that it must be within a radius of a thousand miles.
A radius of a thousand miles was neither too big nor too small. If one really wanted to search for an extremely hidden position, it would still consume a lot of time.
Having delved this deep, formations and restrictions didn’t pose much of a challenge to her, but the extremely dense Yin Qi here was constantly depleting her Saint Yuan. Fortunately, Yang Kai’s Saint Yuan reserves were enormous and could constantly take care of her. Otherwise, the two of them would have had to retreat long ago.
“What should we do？” Yang Yan turned her head to look at Yang Kai. Since they had already come this far, she naturally didn’t want to give up. Maybe with just a little more effort, they could find the final location indicated by the incomplete maps, but it still depended on Yang Kai’s intention.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and pondered. Although they hadn’t encountered too much danger along the way, starting from two days ago, the Yin Souls they had encountered had cultivation levels equivalent to that of Saint King Realm. Some of the Yin Souls, nourished by the Yin Qi all year round, had even awakened a bit of spiritual intelligence. Each one was extremely difficult to deal with. Realizing something was amiss, they would immediately retreat. After resting for a while they would ounce again full of vigor. Thanks to Yang Kai’s endless emergence of means, otherwise it would really be impossible to completely eliminate them in this kind of place.
He felt vaguely that this Burial Valley of Heroes wasn’t at as dangerous as he had seen. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be rumors outside that a Void Returning Mirror powerhouse had fallen here.
After a moment, Yang Kai said in a deep voice： “If I say that we go back now, would you be unwilling？”
Yang Yan nodded honestly.
Yang Kai grinned and said： “I’m also unwilling. Since that’s the case, let’s search. Anyway, it’s just a radius of a thousand miles. At worst, we’ll turn this thousand-mile area upside down.”
Hearing him say this, Yang Yan immediately perked up, and the two of them immediately began to search within a thousand miles nearby.
One day later. Yang Kai suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking around with a suspicious expression. Seeing this, Yang Yan naturally knew that he had discovered something. So she also quietly waited. After a long while, Yang Kai’s face showed a strange expression, and he slowly asked, “Have you smelled a strange smell？”
“Yes, it seems to be the smell of something rotten.” Yang Yan replied. She clearly also noticed this.
“Sure enough. It seems it’s not my illusion.” Yang Kai chuckled, and a ball of pitch-black fireball suddenly appeared in his hand. As soon as the fireball appeared, it baked the nearby void distortedly, and the burning firepower it contained seemed to be able to burn even space.
Immediately, Yang Kai waved his hand and threw the pitch-black fireball in his hand at a nearby dead tree.
The speed of the fireball was not fast, but just as the black fireball was about to touch the seemingly unremarkable dead tree suddenly a suppressed low growl came from inside the tree. This low growl was like the roar of a fierce beast trapped in a cage, extremely low. Immediately, a murderous aura burst out from within.
With a loud bang, that dead tree exploded into powder under a powerful force that burst out from the inside, and an extremely tall figure suddenly appeared there.
The figure’s huge hand like a cattail fan reached forward, and a mass of pale yellow energy instantly enveloped it. He actually didn’t dodge or evade and grabbed towards the black fireball.
There was a hissing sound. The moment the pale yellow energy came into contact with the black fireball, it was as if a handful of salt had been thrown into a frying pan, and a huge reaction occurred. The pale yellow energy quickly faded, but Yang Kai’s devil flame also weakened a lot.
Moments later. The pale yellow energy and the black fireball simultaneously disappeared without a trace, and the true appearance of the extremely tall figure was suddenly exposed in front of Yang Kai and Yang Yan.
After seeing this person’s appearance clearly, Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face. And Yang Yan exclaimed, “Corpse Soldier!”
“Corpse Soldier?” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at her. It was the first time he had heard of the existence of such a thing. And the extremely tall figure opposite was clearly not a living person. His face was dry, as if there was no moisture at all. Skin was wrapped around the bones, his eye sockets were sunken, and two green eyeballs jump like will-o’-the-wisps. Although his figure was extremely tall, it was also like his face with skin and bones, extremely thin and dry. His appearance looked extremely terrifying and made people shudder.
And from his body, Yang Kai couldn’t feel any vitality. There was only a thick deathly aura and corpse aura. If it weren’t for the fluctuation of the aura in his body that was not inferior to that of a Third-Order Saint King Realm, Yang Kai would really regard him as a corpse.
But it was precisely this thing that resembled a corpse in front of him that had just scattered his Demon Flame Fireball with one strike, preventing that strike from achieving any success at all.
The putrid smell that Yang Kai and Yang Yan had smelled before was exactly emitted from his body. It was just blocked by that dead wood, so it wasn’t too clear.
“What is this？” Yang Kai asked in surprise and doubt.
“You can regard him as a kind of living being！”
“Living being？” Yang Kai’s face changed. Just as he was about to ask something more, he saw the corpse soldier opposite suddenly show a strange expression. That expression seemed to be a sinister smile, but because his face was shriveled, it appeared particularly strange and ferocious. Immediately, a hoarse voice came out from his throat： “Good, good, good. Two more great nourishing things have come. Especially this little girl, her flesh and blood are tender. She must taste good when eaten later.”
Hearing what he said, Yang Yan couldn’t help but shiver and quickly hid behind Yang Kai for a while.
The surprise and doubt in Yang Kai’s expression quickly converged. Since Yang Yan said this Corpse Soldier was a living being, then it was not strange that it had intelligence and could speak. However, this was really the first time he had encountered such a strange living being. But upon further thought, since there was the existence of Yin Souls, the existence of Corpse Soldiers was not surprising.
With a grin, Yang Kai looked at it and said, “You want to eat my companion？”
“Do you have an opinion？” The Corpse Soldier coldly sized up Yang Kai, and a dangerous aura flickered in its green eyes. “Don’t worry, you won’t be able to escape either. Later, you will all become food in my stomach.”
“You still want to eat me?” Yang Kai seemed to have heard something ridiculous. His face turned cold, and he shouted, “Aren’t you afraid of breaking your teeth!”
As the voice fell, with a shake of his single hand, a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand. Then, he slashed forward fiercely. Streaks of pitch-black sword auras sliced through the void and shot towards there with imposing momentum.
Surprisingly, the Corpse Soldier didn’t have the slightest bit of fear. Amidst its strange cackling laughter, it neither dodged nor evaded. Its arms were crossed in front of its chest and the pale yellowsmell that had appeared once before instantly diffused over its body. Just like this it charged towards the streaks of sword auras.
Yang Kai’s expression turned solemn. Instead of making any other movements, he coldly sized it up.
He saw that the pitch-black sword auras he chopped out accurately struck the opponent’s arms, but his figure was only slightly jolted by the powerful force, and his arms were unscathed under the tumbling of the pale yellowsmell, only a series of clear metal collision sounds were heard.
The physical body of the Corpse Soldier is extremely strong and it is simply not comparable to that of a martial artist of the same level. It is even no worse than a defensive secret treasure of the same level.” The reminder from Yang Yan came from behind.
“So that’s how it is！” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
“You little girl know a lot of information about our kind of existence. Hehe, I’ll enjoy you first later！” The Corpse Soldier let out another sinister laugh, and in an instant, he rushed in front of Yang Kai, stretching out a shriveled big hand, and the long pitch-black nails on the tips of his five fingers emitted a cold and eerie light, grabbing towards Yang Kai’s head.
Before it could really grab hold, the hissing sound of breaking through the air was continuous, as if it was going to twist off Yang Kai’s head.
Yang Kai raised his hand and threw a punch towards his open big hand.
“Overestimating oneself！” Seeing that Yang Kai actually wanted to fight him head-on with his physical body, the Corpse Soldier sneered again and again. With a tight grip and a contraction of his five fingers, he immediately held Yang Kai’s fist tightly, and at the same time, he exerted force with his fingertips, wanting to crush Yang Kai’s fist into powder.
But as soon as he grasped it, the opponent’s fist, which was full of flesh and blood and looked vulnerable, was actually extremely solid. Even though he exerted 70% of his strength, he couldn’t tear even a layer of the opponent’s skin.
On the contrary, the huge force transmitted from the opponent’s fist made his green eyes jump constantly. With a strange cry, the body of this corpse soldier flew backwards like a paper kite, and his eyes were full of shocked expressions.
And Yang Kai’s body also shook, and he quickly retreated several steps. He felt that his fist was extremely cold. Looking down, he saw that on the back of his hand, there were five black fingerprints, exuding a thick black air. That black air seemed to be alive, wriggling and struggling on the back of his hand, trying to invade his body.
“Be careful of his corpse qi. This kind of thing is extremely insidious and poisonous. Once it invades, it will be very difficult to expel.” Yang Yan’s timely reminder sounded.
Yang Kai’s face turned cold, and the demonic flame burst out of his body, turning into a scorching and extremely masculine existence.
Those strands of wriggling black air, as if they had encountered some natural enemy, after a series of barely perceptible wails, flew out from the back of Yang Kai’s hand one after another and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Yang Yan’s heart relaxed. The most troublesome things about the corpse soldier were the solid flesh and the strange corpse qi. Since Yang Kai was not afraid of either, then she had nothing to worry about.
Sure enough, seeing that Yang Kai easily expelled his corpse qi, the eyes of the corpse soldier that fell to the ground rotated, showing a rather hesitant look.
Originally, in his opinion, with Yang Kai being only at the 2nd Order Saint King Realm and adding in Yang Yan, they were simply no match for him. He could easily deal with these two people in a few moves, devour their flesh and blood essence, and enhance his own strength.
He had done such things more than once or twice before, but now, he found that this martial artist at the 2nd Order Saint King Realm was a bit different from those he had encountered before, looking very difficult to deal with.
This made him wonder if he should continue to entangle.
While he was hesitating, Yang Kai had no intention of letting him go. With a flick of his finger, an imperceptible golden silk thread immediately flew out. The golden silk thread was silent. It was not until it attacked in front of the corpse soldier that he noticed it. With a low growl, the corpse soldier opened its big mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and spat out thick corpse qi from its mouth to meet the golden silk thread.
