Chapter 1515: Chapter 1613: King Among the Corpses
“Your Excellency is perhaps too wary. How could this old man dare to harm you?” The old man spoke, skillfully stepping back two paces imperceptibly.
A trace of cold smirk surfaced on Fang Lin’s face: “This place is clearly an array; there must be something suppressed beneath. Yet you said there are only three Extremely Yin Stones below. Do you think I would believe that?”
The moment the Millennial Corpse Ginseng heard this, it immediately showed a fierce look toward the old man, cursing rudely: “I’ve always felt this old bastard had no good intentions. Turns out he wanted to harm us. Damn it, let’s just tear this old geezer apart right here.”
The old man let out a heavy snort, and the dusky aura about him dispersed, to be replaced instead by an overwhelming and scorching breath.
The Flame Emperor’s Body!
The Cultivation Technique once cultivated by the Flame Emperor himself, capable of forging such an Exercise Body, was once again exhibited by the old man after many years.
“Since you’ve discovered it, this old man won’t beat around the bush any longer. It’s not that I intended to harm you all from the start, but to prevent my mistress’ Corpse Emperor Pill from being taken by you, I can only take your lives here.” The old man’s face showed a fierce and ruthless expression. As he brought his palms together, violent flames condensed above them.
Fang Lin was not afraid in the slightest, striking with both palms against the old man’s, in a hard collision.
With a booming sound, Fang Lin’s figure only slightly shifted, while the old man was sent flying backwards, his face full of shock.
“The Immortal Body! Truly formidable!” The old man looked at his own hands, which were now slightly numb from the shock. Realizing the bad situation and that he couldn’t compete with this young man, he quickly withdrew from the cave.
And as he left the cave, a fiery red light barrier entirely sealed off the cave entrance.
Fang Lin rushed to the entrance, intending to go out, but he collided with the red light barrier, instantly getting rebounded back into the cave.
“Brat! Leave it to me!” Millennial Corpse Ginseng yelled and transformed into the Qin Emperor’s visage, ramming fiercely into the light barrier.
Yet, the result was the same. Millennial Corpse Ginseng yelped in pain and was knocked back into the cave just like Fang Lin, falling in disarray.
“Don’t bother wasting your effort. This array was set by the master of this place during his lifetime, meant to suppress a once formidable foe. Even with Great Longevity Cultivation, it would be difficult to escape from here.” The old man stood outside the cave, smiling as he looked at Fang Lin and Millennial Corpse Ginseng inside.
“You old bastard, you don’t have many days to live anyway, what’s there to be happy about!” Millennial Corpse Ginseng climbed up from the ground, cursing at the old man.
“This old man’s death is insignificant, but before I die, I must eliminate all threats to my mistress. Only then can this old man die with my eyes closed.” The old man spoke, dispersing his Exercise Body, as the dusky aura enveloped him once more, heavier than before he entered the cave, and even more deathly, with even cadaveric spots appearing on his face.
Clearly, the old man’s lifespan was at its end, hanging on by a mere breath. As soon as that breath dissipated, he would be utterly beyond salvation.
Such a person, even if they consumed longevity-extending Pills, could not be saved. Both their physical body and soul were decayed, their life span exhausted, destined to die.
The woman in white stood by idly, her body shrouded in an air of death.
“Mistress, this old man is still worried about you. If I were to leave, no one would be able to protect you.” The old man looked at the woman in white, filled with sorrow in his heart.
The woman in white, hearing the old man’s words, merely blinked her eyes, other than that, she continued to gaze at the cave that trapped Fang Lin and Millennial Corpse Ginseng.
Inside the cave, Fang Lin and Millennial Corpse Ginseng attacked the array several times, but to no avail. The array was unexpectedly sturdy; in fact, after their several attempts, it appeared to grow even stronger.
“Worthy of being an array set by the Flame Emperor, truly extraordinary.” Fang Lin sincerely exclaimed.
The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng pursed its lips and said, “What time is it now, who knows what kind of ghostly things will crawl out from below, and you’re still so leisurely.”
Fang Lin smiled and said, “Since we’re trapped here anyway, might as well relax a little. We’ve come through so many difficulties; we shouldn’t capsize in this gutter.”
The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng humphed twice, “That’s not necessarily true. If we really do capsize here, you, boy, won’t even have a place to cry.”
“You’re right; it’s time to get serious.” Fang Lin nodded, ready to summon all his strength to break the array.
Just then, an earth-shattering roar came from the depths of the cave.
ROAR!!!!!!
The roar was deafening, and a chaotic whirl of ghostly Yin wind swept in from deep within the cave.
“What a strong corpse qi!” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng stared wide-eyed at the depths of the cave, showing no fear at all, but rather a hint of excitement.
Fang Lin frowned. After opening the Heavenly Eye, he saw a scene that shocked him.
In the depths of the cave, there lay a stone coffin. Now, the lid of the coffin had fallen to the side, and a withered body was slowly climbing out from it.
The previous roar had come from this dried-up body, and the intense corpse qi was also emanating from it.
“Extremely Yin Stones!” Fang Lin saw three pieces of Extremely Yin Stone, but they were inside the coffin.
“No wonder there’s such a heavy corpse qi. Not to mention sleeping in this Ultra-Yin Land, there are three pieces of Extremely Yin Stone always accompanying it. If it hasn’t transformed into a zombie, then it would be a wonder,” said Fang Lin.
“Kid, what did you see?” Corpse Ginseng, lacking the Heavenly Eye, could only ask dumbly from the side.
Fang Lin smiled slightly, “It’s a great tonic for you.”
“Really?” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng beamed with joy. By his behavior, you wouldn’t think he was trapped in any dangerous place.
“But this guy might be a bit troublesome to deal with,” Fang Lin added. He had already seen the person from the coffin walking out and heading towards them.
“Scared? Pfft, I’ll take care of them one by one!” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng did not seem afraid at all and appeared to be very eager for the so-called great tonic.
Before long, a withered figure appeared in Fang Lin and the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng’s field of vision.
“OMG, the corpse qi on this guy is almost not much less than mine,” Corpse Ginseng clicked his tongue in amazement. He didn’t expect such a creature to emerge from the cave and was even more excited, rubbing his hands together, almost ready to pounce directly.
Fang Lin, on the other hand, stared at the withered figure, his brows tightly knitted. From this person, Fang Lin felt an extremely formidable aura.
Outside of the cave, an old man was coughing violently, his eyes dim.
“The person in the cave was a formidable foe of the master before he died, born with a Yin body. After being killed by the master, his corpse was sealed in this Ultra-Yin Land. All these years have passed, and a transformation is likely to have occurred, turning him into the king of corpses,” said the old man, with a cold sneer on his face, not believing that Fang Lin and the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng would be able to survive out of the cave.
