"There is another powerful being lurking within the Royal Tomb."
Shang Yun let out a deep breath. That aura was initially hidden and secretive, but now it felt like a pillar of light shooting up into the sky, detectable from afar.
What made Shang Yun's expression even more serious was that this aura was approaching the two of them at an extremely terrifying speed.
"He’s coming."
Shang Yun was fully energized, ready for action; the owner of this aura was incredibly formidable.
"It has locked onto me."
Lin Qiubai was taken aback; this aura was firmly fixated on him, filled with murderous intent. His heart felt as if it were being pressed by a sharp point, and he dared not let it race wildly.
In just a few breaths, a tall young man landed not far from them.
His face radiated a blood-red glow, appearing extremely eerie, with long hair that was also blood-red, and even his clothes were drenched in crimson.
A strong smell of blood spread throughout the surroundings.
"Little ghost, we meet again..."
Lin Qiubai carefully scrutinized the newcomer and awkwardly realized that he did not recognize this person.
"I once had a name, known as the Corpse Demon King!"
The Corpse Demon King's lips curled into a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown, and a familiar face slowly emerged before Lin Qiubai.
Back in the depths of the Beast Taming Sect, the Corpse Demon King had lost his sanity due to Lin Qiubai's frenzied actions.
He forcibly pushed out a face and glanced at Lin Qiubai.
Thus, Lin Qiubai had a deep impression of this.
"Corpse Demon King!!"
Lin Qiubai took two steps back in fright; after all, this was a powerful being at the Reincarnation Realm. If he broke free now, Lin Qiubai would have no way to survive.
"Heh heh..."
The laughter of the Corpse Demon King sounded like a cat howling past a coffin in the dead of night.
It was eerie and terrifying, sending chills down Lin Qiubai's spine.
"Do you have any ties to it?"
Shang Yun enveloped Lin Qiubai with her energy, countering the immense pressure that weighed down on him.
"It is the Corpse Demon King, an Evil Cultivator from ten thousand years ago! It once attempted to plot its escape from the seal, but I destroyed its external incarnation and forcibly took away thousands of years of accumulated essence. So it holds a grudge against me..."
Lin Qiubai lamented, recalling how he had taken advantage of the Corpse Demon King's inability to escape, acting recklessly and madly. Who would have thought that this Corpse Demon King could actually break free from its seal!
The Corpse Demon King sneered beside him, its gaze filled with endless killing intent.
Lin Qiubai's actions had left it resentful, wishing for a hundredfold or thousandfold revenge!
"I will first kill your beloved woman. I will humiliate her before you, and then I will extract your soul and refine it into a corpse slave, ensuring you never have a good death!"
The Corpse Demon King gritted its teeth; only by this means could it quell the hatred within.
"Are you trying to draw a formation? With your ant-like strength, do you think you can trap me?!"
"Stop it, Shang Yun!"
Lin Qiubai shouted, his hands moving faster as he shot out formation talismans. To cross the Creation Realm and Nirvana Realm to directly battle in the Life Profound Realm seemed hopeless.
But there was no other choice. The Corpse Demon King's combat power would surely surpass Shang Yun's, and its foundation was also greater. Escaping would not be so easy.
Moreover, could one run away from a monk and still escape the temple?
As an Evil Cultivator, the Corpse Demon King would undoubtedly unleash a massacre. The people of the Yunyin Sacred Sect would all die without a trace.
Lin Qiubai's thoughts turned over and over in his mind, and he finally decided to confront the enemy head-on. He would be responsible for the flanking maneuver while Shang Yun handled the main battle; it was worth a try.
After all, running away was the most dangerous thing to do!
"How bold! No wonder you could infuriate me to such an extent back then. If you grow stronger, I will be completely erased. But do you really think you can win against me with this woman? You are overestimating yourself."
Although the Corpse Demon King admired Lin Qiubai, he also looked down on him, lacking nothing in talent and courage.
However, he had never experienced high-level battles between experts of the Life Profound Realm or even those of the Reincarnation Realm; his perspective was still stuck in the small skirmishes of the Creation Realm and the Yuan Dan Realm.
This was a fatal shortcoming.
Shang Yun shared this shortcoming as well.
"Be careful and buy us some time."
Lin Qiubai's expression became unusually serious.
The Corpse Demon King had once been a Reincarnation Realm expert. In terms of combat methods and martial arts foundation, he was several times richer than Shang Yun, who probably wouldn’t last long.
"I'll do my best."
Shang Yun took a deep breath. She wasn't afraid; at worst, she would fight to the death. Before she died, she wanted to tear off one of the Corpse Demon King's arms.
"I'll take care of you first."
The Corpse Demon King turned his gaze toward Shang Yun, his body trembling as blood light transformed into countless Blood Pythons, racing around him with lightning speed.
In the next moment, the void behind the Corpse Demon King shattered as he stomped down, using the rebound force to propel himself forward at breakneck speed, like a cannonball charging toward Shang Yun.
The blood light spread like a spider web, quickly enveloping the space above Shang Yun. This was the Blood Corpse Domain, where the swirling malevolence could directly affect a person's mind.
Shang Yun swiftly retreated and then struck out with a powerful palm toward the Corpse Demon King. Following that, countless palms came crashing in succession, each strike heavier than the last, terrifying like a tsunami.
The Corpse Demon King's blood-red iron fist collided with the torrent of palms, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.
Graves exploded in the distance, bones flying through the air.
Palaces collapsed with earth-shattering roars.
Lin Qiubai's figure became ethereal as waves of shockwaves capable of instantly killing Nirvana Realm experts swept over his illusory body.
The shockwaves passed through his phantom form as if striking cotton.
Yet Lin Qiubai still spat out blood, blood oozing from all seven orifices.
He poured an entire vial of elixir into his mouth and continued to draw the formation.
The Corpse Demon King certainly did not take Lin Qiubai seriously.
A mere ant with combat power at the Creation Realm was simply not worth its extra caution.
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Qiubai to launch a surprise attack on it.
"Corpse Demon Killing Hand!"
Seeing that its attack was blocked by Shang Yun, the Corpse Demon King immediately changed its tactic. Countless beams of blood light surged onto its palm, and its nails began to elongate, quickly growing into sharp blades that made one feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.
The Corpse Demon King reached out from a distance, and as the Corpse Demon Killing Hand struck Shang Yun's defense, it suddenly shattered. More than thirty blood hands appeared out of thin air, enveloping various parts of Shang Yun's body. As the saying goes, two fists cannot fight against four hands.
This unexpected move from the Corpse Demon King left Shang Yun overwhelmed. Her jade-like hands turned into afterimages, but unfortunately, she still could not block all the attacks.
As she watched the blood hands about to grab her, leaving deep wounds in their wake, she felt a sense of dread.
"Do not resist."
Lin Qiubai suddenly shouted. Shang Yun was taken aback and confused; if she did not resist, she would surely be severely injured.
Without hesitation, Shang Yun stood obediently in mid-air, watching helplessly as the thirty-six blood hands rapidly enlarged in her vision…
