Chapter 1266
Amidst the screams, chaos quickly erupted outside.
Ye Guichen helped Xuanyuan Canghai to sit properly and rushed out swiftly.
Outside, it was already a mess.
The bodies that had originally died on the ground slowly stood up.
Each one of them was like a zombie, beginning to lunge towards the soldiers.
Moreover, these living dead couldn't be cut down with ordinary swords.
One living dead knocked down a soldier, bit the opponent's neck, and within seconds sucked him dry, leaving just a corpse.
Someone stabbed a living dead with a spear, but it only pierced his clothing, as if stabbing steel, emitting a clanging sound, unable to penetrate.
Nolan Qingqing was terrified, screaming repeatedly.
The two little wolves were incredibly valiant at this moment, guarding Nolan Qingqing, staring intently at the living dead.
One living dead seemed attracted by Nolan Qingqing, lunging fiercely.
Little Hui rushed forward, biting one head on the chest of the living dead, while the other two heads bit the opponent's ears, with the man and wolf rolling together.
Little Hua, though somewhat frightened, did not retreat under such circumstances.
"Little Hui, I, I'll help you!" Nolan Qingqing, though scared, watched Little Hui being pressed by the living dead, appearing to be about to eat Little Hui, and quickly took out the Golden Snake Sword, stabbing at the living dead's back.
The Golden Snake Sword was incredibly sharp, piercing directly through the living dead's back.
But the living dead was not injured, instead grabbing Little Hui, ignoring Little Hui biting off his ears and flesh, throwing Little Hui away, turning to grab Nolan Qingqing instead.
Nolan Qingqing was stunned.
She hadn't expected that even with the Golden Snake Sword stabbing into the living dead, there was no reaction.
As the claw was about to grab Nolan Qingqing, Nolan Qingqing was already too scared to move.
Nolan Qingqing grew up in the Dan God Sect, rarely going down the mountain, never experiencing true battle. Despite not being weak now, she forgot to counterattack in this situation.
"Hush!"
At this moment, a flash of cold light.
Ye Guichen chopped off the living dead's head, lifted Nolan Qingqing, and threw her into the tent: "Get inside quickly, don't hinder here."
Nolan Qingqing was awoken from a dream, bursting into tears: "What is this, what, what are these things?"
Ye Guichen's face tightened.
In this short time, hundreds of soldiers had already been bitten.
Besides, judging by this, it won't be long before those soldiers turn into living dead.
What's more, aside from the Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand, even weapons above spiritual artifact level seem unable to penetrate the living dead's defense.
In this situation, it's only passive beating.
"Quick, everyone retreat, Bai Qi, kill!"
Ye Guichen shouted, wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, rushing towards the living dead, like cutting melons and vegetables.
With each sword strike, he would chop off a living dead's head.
Bai Qi also picked up a spear, targeting the heads of the living dead.
Besides, the others couldn't kill the living dead.
These living dead posed no threat to Ye Guichen and Bai Qi, but because of the vast numbers, even if they stood still for them to kill, it would take a long time to finish.
But these living dead not only moved but were extremely fast, not entangling with Ye Guichen and Bai Qi, targeting the soldiers instead.
For a full ten minutes, Ye Guichen didn't know how many living dead he had killed, the ground was covered with heads.
And his own soldiers had died no less than a thousand.
The loss was severe.
Ye Guichen was only seeing red at the end of the killing.
"Young Master, killing like this isn't a solution!" Bai Qi shouted loudly, watching the soldiers one by one collapse to the ground, his heart anxious: "We kill one, they knock one down, once these soldiers are all converted, we'll still have to kill! Are we going to kill everyone?"
As Bai Qi shouted, two living dead seemingly noticed him, charging from either side.
Sharp claws simultaneously slashed towards Bai Qi.
Bai Qi dodged swiftly, broke the opponent's arm with his spear, and with another swing, knocked off the opponent's head.
With a sideways move, he executed a back-thrust, killing another living dead behind him.
However, more living dead surged forward.
They swarmed towards Bai Qi, no less than a dozen.
Even if Bai Qi could fight, he's already somewhat exhausted now.
Ye Guichen was surrounded by more than a dozen living dead.
Ye Guichen's heart was also extremely anxious.
With each living dead he killed, his heart grew more conflicted.
These people, while alive, were all his subordinates, now he actually has to personally slaughter them.
At this rate, it won't take long before the thirty thousand Qin soldiers he'd just gathered will all have to be killed.
"No, these living dead can somehow stay alive, there seems to be remnants of soul inside!"
Ye Guichen was startled, seemingly sensing something, immediately activating the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.
A black tower instantly appeared in front of Ye Guichen.
"Collect them for me!"
As Ye Guichen spoke, rolling black air emitted from the tower.
Under the black air, it seemed like the sound of chains scraping.
The black air rolled towards the living dead.
Ye Guichen distinctly sensed something continuously being extracted from the living dead and locked into the black tower.
"It's effective!"
Ye Guichen's eyes lit up, and he shouted to Bai Qi: "Bai Qi, come protect me!"
Bai Qi was also startled seeing the black tower before Ye Guichen, but he couldn't think much now, swiftly running to Ye Guichen, wielding his spear to fend off the living dead trying to attack Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen focused entirely on the black tower.
This time, Ye Guichen clearly sensed countless chain-like things emerging from the black tower, pulling strands of soul from the living dead and locking them in the bottom floor of the prison.
Those living dead souls were incomplete, clearly without consciousness, only howling when locked in the black tower, like beasts.
This process lasted for a full ten minutes, Ye Guichen managed to collect a thousand souls.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a call rang out.
The remaining living dead seemed to receive some command, turning to run.
In just a few minutes, besides the cries of the bitten soldiers, there was no trace of any living dead.
"They ran?"
Ye Guichen felt somewhat exhausted, glancing at the black tower.
The thousand souls were crowded in one cage.
The first tier had a total of a hundred and eight cages, the remaining a hundred and seven cages were empty.
"These cages can hold so many souls?" Ye Guichen was shocked.
But now, there was no time to research this.
After putting the black tower away, Ye Guichen quickly surveyed the scene, confirmed there were no living dead, and immediately had all the injured gathered together.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Bai Qi looked at the hundreds of injured, also showing difficulty.
At this moment, Nolan Qingqing supported Xuanyuan Canghai as they emerged.
Xuanyuan Canghai looked pale, shivering uncontrollably, already trembling as if he were cold.
"Senior Xuanyuan, how are you?" Ye Guichen quickly asked.
Xuanyuan Canghai sighed: "I feel my vitality rapidly fading, if I'm not mistaken, I might have caught the legendary corpse poison. This corpse poison isn't something we can neutralize, Young Master, if I can't hold on, you must kill me! Do not hesitate!"
