All the White Corpse Soldiers have been killed; they were destroyed by the Forbidden Technique. To be more precise, it was the host of the Forbidden Technique that was destroyed, forcibly severing the connection between the caster and the Undead Soldier. This method can be described as inflicting a thousand losses on the enemy while suffering five hundred losses oneself, leaving everyone extremely exhausted.
Now, only one Black Corpse Soldier remains. Its combat power is exceptionally strong, making it the leader among Undead Soldiers, equivalent to a chief. For some unknown reason, it is ten times more formidable than other Undead Soldiers—more ferocious and tougher, impervious to blades and bullets.
The disciples of Star Gate fought it for a short while, their arms growing weak from the effort. They soon retreated, and the Regular Army waved their long spears, shouting as they charged in to surround it. About ten people simultaneously launched an attack, jabbing, poking, and stabbing with their spears.
The black Undead Soldier was surrounded in the middle, continuously roaring with a "gurgling" sound. All attacks were ineffective against it, and it possessed endless strength, remaining vigorous regardless of how long the battle lasted.
After a while, the Regular Army fell back, and disciples of the Five Element Sect charged forward wielding Black Greatswords in unison.
Lu Chen was at the forefront, swinging his great sword in wide arcs before leaping high and aiming for the black Undead Soldier's forehead with a downward strike.
With a sharp clang, the great sword struck fiercely, and a force rebounded back, causing Lu Chen's arm to feel numb. This standard great sword could be considered a Divine Weapon in the secular world, yet it could not harm the Undead Soldier. If he had used the Demon-Slaying Sword instead, that strike would have cleaved it in two.
Lu Chen staggered back two steps as Lu Renjia, Jiang Youdang, Jiang Jie, and Princess Zhulan all raised their great swords to strike down hard on the black Undead Soldier.
"Hey!"
Lu Chen rolled over and sprang back up from the ground, raising his great sword to press down on the black Undead Soldier with all his might.
The five of them acted as one Qi Master, their combined strength reaching seven or eight thousand pounds. With Lu Chen's cultivation nearing Divine Power Body level added to this force, their total strength exceeded ten thousand pounds.
However, even under such immense pressure, the black Undead Soldier still had enough strength to retaliate. It repeatedly straightened its body while letting out gurgling roars as if trying to break free and seize one of the disciples to tear them apart.
At this moment, if Lu Chen were to draw out Moon King's Blade and rely on Dual Blades' dominance and sharpness, he should be able to kill it. Additionally, with Imperial Aura at his disposal, Lu Chen believed he could subdue it using a method of yin overcoming yin. However, neither of these methods was suitable to use right now; if Lu Renjia and the others noticed him doing so, it would lead to trouble.
Even if Lu Renjia and others remained silent about it, there were many experts around Wind Blinder Archipelago. Once he used those techniques, he might attract unforeseen complications that would be very difficult to handle.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen spun around, recalling Zhang Yushan's technique in his mind and secretly deducing a bit of its essence. He executed it, causing the sword to tremble as it struck towards the White Corpse Soldier.
The Tidal Sword Technique resembled the tidal waves of the ocean, with the sword's momentum rising higher and higher. It appeared soft and weak at first, but in reality, it had tremendous power, transitioning from gentle to forceful, executing rebounds that were incredibly profound—something that a mindless Undead Soldier could not contend with.
As soon as Lu Chen unleashed it, he immediately gained the upper hand, preventing the Undead Soldier from approaching. Each time it attempted to pounce, it was repelled by the sword's force.
Thus, the battle turned overwhelmingly one-sided. Lu Chen wielded his great sword, occasionally leaping high into the air to unleash wave after wave of sword strikes, suppressing the Undead Soldier to the point where it could not retaliate while he remained relaxed and at ease.
"Who is this junior brother? I've never seen him before," remarked a disciple from the Five Element Sect who had just retreated. He leaned on his Black Greatsword and watched Lu Chen's swordplay with a slightly astonished expression.
"Who knows? His swordsmanship is remarkable; it seems to be the Tidal Sword Technique. He has actually restrained that Undead Soldier!" another disciple from the Five Element Sect responded.
"When did such a master emerge among our generation of disciples? It's truly strange," sighed yet another disciple from the Five Element Sect.
Lu Chen fought against the White Corpse Soldier, pressing his Black Greatsword against the Undead Soldier's chest. However, the Flesh of the Undead Soldier was incredibly hard; no matter how sharp the tip of the Black Greatsword was, it could not penetrate and could only hold it back.
The Undead Soldier let out a cackling sound, its long fingernails clawing desperately as if trying to tear Lu Chen apart.
With a loud bang, Lu Chen gripped his sword with one hand while forming a palm blade with the other and forcefully struck the end of the sword hilt. A muffled sound echoed as the Black Greatsword pierced deeply into the White Corpse Soldier's chest.
Lu Chen switched to gripping the sword with both hands, twisting and pulling on the hilt. Suddenly, a series of explosive sounds erupted like frying beans as the White Corpse Soldier was cleaved into several large pieces, scattering apart.
Lu Chen let out a long breath, his expression slightly serious. This was the first Undead Soldier he had dealt with alone, using about eighty percent of his strength.
The reason for his desperation was twofold: one was to protect his fellow disciples, and another was that such undead creatures running amok to harm living beings was intolerable and should be eradicated completely. Although these Undead Soldiers might be related to the Sui Mo Su Family, Lu Chen did not care about that. He only had a slight acquaintance with Su Wutong; he did not know the Su Family well, nor did they know him. These Undead Soldiers certainly did not recognize him either, so he aimed to eliminate these enemies decisively.
"Junior brother has excellent skills; may I ask which lineage you belong to?" After Lu Chen single-handedly took down an Undead Soldier, a disciple from the Five Element Sect immediately spoke up to inquire.
The Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Element Sect each have their own Cave. When they communicate, they usually share their Cave names along with their own names to facilitate interactions and strengthen relationships among fellow disciples.
"Senior Brother, I am from the Empty Mountain Cave, Lu Chen," Lu Chen said, cupping his hands in greeting, displaying no airs and remaining calm.
"Junior Brother, I am from the Morning Sun Mountain Cave, Lu Renjia," said the disciple who introduced himself as Lu Renjia. He was young, with a fair complexion and no beard, appearing to be in his twenties, and spoke very politely.
"This is Junior Brother Jiang Youdang from Fenghui Mountain, and that one is Junior Brother Jiang Jie from Panlong Mountain," Lu Renjia introduced the other two disciples of the Five Element Sect to Lu Chen.
When they first joined the Five Element Sect, they were unfamiliar with each other and did not communicate much. However, as time passed, it became natural for them to get to know one another better, ideally forming alliances.
Factional struggles are not exclusive to the court; even in seemingly peaceful places, there are factions among the people. Conflicts between factions are common, with both open and covert struggles being quite normal.
Lu Chen observed that both Lu Renjia and Jiang Youdang appeared straightforward and lacked ulterior motives. However, Jiang Jie felt different; he did not seem like an ordinary person. There was a certain charisma about him that suggested he might achieve great things—many can discern potential just by looking at someone's appearance.
Jiang Jie was indeed that kind of person; he would surely become someone of significance in the future.
Their attire was also distinct from the ordinary, indicating that they likely came from wealthy families—either affluent merchants or children of officials.
Lu Chen licked his lips; these individuals could be worth befriending. If he could persuade them to invest in Chen Qilin's Mechanism Base, that would be even better.
Lu Chen was not obsessed with money nor was he a despicable person who prioritized profit over friendship; in fact, he despised such individuals. His thoughts about their financial backgrounds arose because Chen Qilin's Mechanism Base required substantial funding—not something that could be accomplished with just a small amount of money. It was a long-term plan that would benefit greatly from the involvement of wealthy patrons.
Lu Chen nodded and exchanged understanding glances with Lu Renjia and the others before calling over Princess Zhulan to introduce her to them.
As soon as Lu Renjia and the others saw Princess Zhulan, their eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of admiration on their faces. It was no surprise; Princess Zhulan's beauty was ethereal, captivating anyone who laid eyes on her.
The royal bloodline of Yushan Kingdom typically features high noses and dark brown eyes with distinct characteristics. Additionally, having lived in snowy regions for an extended period had given Yushan Kingdom's women skin as white as snow.
"This must be your younger sibling, right? A beauty paired with a hero, truly remarkable." Lu Renjia grinned, mistakenly assuming that Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan were in a romantic relationship, and even flattered them with such words.
Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched like caterpillars as he took a step forward, waved his hand to stop Princess Zhulan, and said to Lu Renjia, "That's right, we are partners in the path of cultivation. Brother Lu Renjia is too kind."
Lu Chen didn't mind this misunderstanding; if it could solidify his relationship with Princess Zhulan, it would prevent others from coveting her and causing jealousy.
Hearing this, Lu Renjia and the other three laughed heartily. After this exchange, they became somewhat familiar with each other.
However, the intense fighting nearby jolted them back to reality. This was no joking matter; there were also court officials and Star Gate disciples engaged in life-and-death battles against Undead Soldiers.
Just moments ago, Lu Chen had dispatched one Undead Soldier, and then three disciples from the Five Element Sect worked together to take down another, leaving four remaining. At that moment, several disciples from Star Gate also managed to eliminate one.
Now, only three Undead Soldiers remained: two White Corpse Soldiers and one Black Corpse Soldier.
Lu Chen and the others launched their attacks again and quickly dealt with the two white Undead Soldiers, leaving just the last black Undead Soldier.
After several rounds of fighting, Lu Chen discovered that the Five Element Sect's Tidal Sword Technique had a surprisingly effective counter against Undead Soldiers. The Undead Soldiers were fierce, domineering, and fearless of death, while the Tidal Sword Technique was soft and fluid like water waves. The latter could counter the former by using softness to overcome hardness; that seemed to be its effect.
