Chapter 1282

In an instant, the thick corpse qi enveloped the golden silk thread. But to the horror of the corpse soldier, his invincible corpse qi had no effect on this silk thread at all. As if having spirituality, the golden silk thread only trembled slightly, and an astonishing vitality and blood qi fluctuation spread from within, instantly shattering the corpse. Immediately afterwards, the golden silk thread attacked his chest, and his extremely strong body was as vulnerable as tofu, directly pierced by the golden silk.

The golden silk coiled a few times and tightly bound him.

The corpse soldier was greatly shocked. Before he could make any other moves, a black blade-like attack shot over from Yang Kai’s side. This attack had no energy fluctuation at all, but the green ghost fire in the corpse soldier’s eyes jumped wildly. He felt a great danger from this attack.

In a hurry, his figure twisted, barely avoiding the vital position, and let the black blade-like attack cut on one of his arms.

A very strange scene appeared. Silently, his arm actually fell off his body, and the cut position was actually missing a part, and could not be anastomosed with his own wound at all.

Naturally, it was Yang Kai’s spatial blade that could do this.

Although the body of the corpse soldier is extremely solid, the spatial blade is also extremely powerful. The cut void is enough to devour a part of the opponent’s arm into the deep void and exile it there forever.

But when Yang Kai looked over, only some light green liquid flowed out from the wound of the opponent, and there was not a trace of blood at all, which was extremely strange.

Even so, the corpse soldier seemed to have suffered some serious injury, and let out a shrill howl from his mouth, and then his entire body was wrapped in thick corpse qi.

Just as Yang Kai was about to kill him completely, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand. The golden silk that bound the corpse soldier flew back.

In an instant, the corpse soldier regained his freedom. In the package of corpse qi he seemed to look at Yang Kai fiercely. Then he grabbed the severed arm that had fallen on the ground, turned into a yellow light and fled away at a high speed. That speed was actually extremely fast.

Yang Kai stood there with a gloomy face and looked down at his golden silk. He found that there was a lot of black qi is on it.

After all, he has not practiced the golden silk secret technique for a long time and cannot yet exert all of its power. Otherwise, this kind of situation would not have occurred. Under being bound, even if the corpse soldier had stronger strength, Yang Kai could have solved him in a short time.

With a shake of his hand, Yang Kai put the golden thread into his body, circulated the Saint Yuan in his body to expel the corpse qi on the golden thread, and at the same time grabbed Yang Yan’s shoulder and chased after the corpse soldier at lightning speed.

Yang Kai’s battle with the corpse soldier was just a flash in the pan. Yang Yan didn’t even have time to react before the corpse soldier she regarded as a great enemy fled in a panic. It was only at this moment that she suddenly remembered something and began to explain the origin of the corpse soldier to Yang Kai.

Through her explanation, Yang Kai understood that the corpse soldier was actually just a kind of title, a grade division of this kind of creature.

Just like the birth of a yin soul, these corpse soldiers were also born in an extremely rich yin qi environment. When a living being died here, by coincidence, the soul and the physical body did not disappear, but became another kind of existence, which was the corpse soldier.

Of course, there were also some corpse soldiers that were not formed in this way, but were yin souls with successful cultivation that forcibly occupied other physical bodies and transformed into the existence like a corpse soldier through a method similar to seizing the house.

There were even some corpse soldiers that were artificially created with secret techniques. On You’an Star, there were many such secret techniques in many evil sects.

However, overall, the formation of a corpse soldier was much more difficult than that of a yin soul. As long as the conditions were suitable, a yin soul could take shape as long as the soul did not disperse. But the corpse soldier was different. The corpse soldier required both the soul and the physical body to exist, and they needed to be integrated, so the difficulty naturally increased a little.

This kind of creature can generally be divided into three major levels: the Hundred-Year Corpse Soldier, the Thousand-Year Corpse General, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King！

There is naturally no need to mention the Hundred-Year Corpse Soldier. The cultivation of this kind of creature is extremely difficult because they are originally dead things, and their bodies cannot easily accept the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi like living things. Therefore, their cultivation speed is countless times inferior to that of any living thing. Perhaps a Corpse Soldier that has cultivated for several hundred years is not as good as a Saint King Realm martial artist in terms of cultivation level.

And the strength difference within the Corpse Soldier rank is also extremely huge, ranging from the insignificant Kaiyuan Realm to the quite powerful Saint King Realm.

For example, the one Yang Kai just encountered was a peak Saint King Realm existence. It was estimated that it had at least cultivated for seven or eight hundred years to achieve such an achievement.

And once a Corpse Soldier advances to the Thousand-Year Corpse General it will have the strength not inferior to that of a Return to Void Realm powerhouse. As for the legendary Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King, it even has the qualification to compete with a Void King Realm powerhouse. It can even be said that a Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King is much more powerful than an ordinary Void King Realm. The body of a Corpse King that has cultivated for ten thousand years is almost an indestructible existence.

Yang Yan spoke in detail, and Yang Kai listened with secret horror.

Previously, he had not come into contact with this kind of creature and had never heard anyone mention it. He simply did not expect that there were such strange things in the world.

However, Yang Kai was no ordinary person either. He had previously witnessed many strange living beings, so he was only slightly interested in the indestructible body of the ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King and didn’t show too much surprise.

Chasing all the way, he didn’t know what strange method that Corpse Soldier had used. It actually suddenly disappeared in a certain place fifty miles away.

Yang Kai released his spiritual thoughts but couldn’t detect any clues. However, the faint corpse aura emitted from the Corpse Soldier’s body still left some traces.

Following that corpse aura, Yang Kai and Yang Yan chased to the front of a collapsed ruin. Looking around, within a radius of more than ten miles, there were all broken walls and ruins. Presumably, this place was once a core area of this sect. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many buildings.

“There are traces of a formation.” Yang Yan’s beautiful eyes shone brightly as she stared at a certain place similar to a square, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “But it’s just an illusory formation. It’s not difficult to break.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating for her to go forward and break it.

Yang Yan took out those strange props again, infused Saint Yuan into them, and threw them into the void, and they disappeared immediately.

After waiting for only the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the scene in front of them actually shook and changed. Soon, under a heaven and earth-shattering change, the square-like existence suddenly disappeared and in its place was another ruin.

Before Yang Yan could relax, suddenly, mysterious energy attacks shot out from all directions, overwhelming the place where Yang Kai and Yang Yan were located. The momentum was extremely astonishing.

“A formation within a formation!” Yang Yan let out a cute cry. Yang Kai reacted extremely quickly and pulled Yang Yan behind him. At the same time, he sacrificed his purple shield and crazy poured Saint Yuan into it activating the power contained within the shield. In an instant, the wind and sand blew up, and a yellowish-brown dust and smoke appeared out of thin air, wrapped Yang Kai and Yang Yan.

It was precisely the power of the sandstorm contained within the purple shield.

Those energy attacks hit the sandstorm and were blocked by the strong wind and yellow sand. Although they did not completely disappear, their power was greatly reduced, no longer as fierce as before.

Yang Kai waved his hands continuously, and clusters of black fireballs shot out, blocking the remaining energy attacks one after another.

Seeing this, Yang Yan’s heart relaxed slightly, and she hurriedly examined the surroundings. She also didn’t expect that there would be a formation within a formation here. After all, this kind of arrangement method was really too strict and harsh and the materials consumed were huge. Therefore, even some large sects would not easily set this kind of formation.

And the appearance of one here not only surprised her greatly but also made her secretly vigilant.

The attacks of the second array came in an unbroken stream. Although they weren’t earth-shattering, Yang Kai was still in a flustered state after continuously defending like this. If this continued, in a short while, he would have to use other means to defend.

Just then, Yang Yan suddenly pointed at a half-piece of an ancient bronze gate that was lying on the ground beside them and shouted sharply： “Hit that！”

Yang Kai heard this and without hesitation, a spatial blade slashed over.

In the blink of an eye, the spatial blade cut through the ancient bronze gate, splitting it in two. A buzzing sound came from the void all around, and all the attacks quickly died down.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there were indeed no more attacks coming, Yang Kai then put away his purple shield and carefully looked around.

He had originally thought that the corpse soldier who had fled before would be hiding here, but looking around, there was nothing. He couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

It doesn’t make sense. This array is quite troublesome for even me to crack. Why did that corpse soldier disappear as soon as he came in? He couldn’t possibly be proficient in arrays.” Yang Yan kept frowning and obviously couldn’t figure out why this was.

Yang Kai had a thoughtful expression on his face and suddenly said： “What if he originally knew the safe route in and out of this array？”

“Impossible.” Yang Yan shook her head resolutely. “Unless he was a grandmaster in his lifetime no matter how powerful his strength was, he couldn’t have done such a thing. Of course, if he was a disciple of this sect in his lifetime and mastered the array here, it would also make sense but he is just a Corpse Soldier who has cultivated for only a few hundred years, and the Gu Yang Sect was wiped out two thousand years ago, so he definitely wasn’t a disciple of the Gu Yang Sect in his lifetime.”

“Anyway, he must still be here.” Yang Kai raised the corner of his mouth. “This place is so secluded, and there is a formation within a formation. Don’t you think that this place is very likely to be the place we are looking for？”

“You mean, as long as we find his hiding place, we will succeed？” Yang Yan also remembered something all of a sudden and became full of energy.

“Maybe.” Yang Kai didn’t express his opinion.

The two looked at each other and didn’t hesitate any longer. Immediately, they carefully searched the vicinity.

Half an hour later, the two stood above a ruin and stared intently at a place in front of them. That place seemed ordinary at first glance, but if you looked carefully, you would find that there was something different from the side. The space seemed to be distorted.

It was another extremely hidden restriction. However, this restriction only had some shielding effect and didn’t have any aggression. If it wasn’t’d for Yang Yan’s deep research on the way of formation, I’d be afraid it really wouldn’t have been discovered.
