Chapter 188: The Corpse God VS Lu Xueqi
After receiving the power transmitted from the Fulong Cauldron, the Ghost King’s aura had recovered considerably.
He looked at Jade Yangzi and Lady Sanmiao and said, “What do the two Sect Masters think about today’s events?”
Upon hearing the Ghost King’s inquiry, Jade Yangzi pondered slightly before saying, “That Lu Xueqi and that Corpse God are both extremely terrifying in strength, far beyond what we can contend with.
Now that we of the Demonic Sect have already withdrawn from Qingyun Mountain, we should focus on preserving our strength. Let those so-called Righteous Path members of Qingyun Mountain fight that Corpse God to the death. If they can end up mutually injured, that would be even better!”
The Ghost King nodded in agreement upon hearing Jade Yangzi’s words.
At the side, Lady Sanmiao’s eyes shifted slightly as she said, “Ghost King, who do you think is stronger between Lu Xueqi and this Corpse God?”
The Ghost King, recalling Lu Xueqi’s performance on Qingyun Mountain earlier and the might displayed by the Corpse God, shook his head directly. “I do not know. The strength Lu Xueqi displayed earlier was extremely terrifying. Her physical body was incomparably powerful, far beyond ordinary figures.
As for that Corpse God, its might is boundless, also far beyond what we can compare to. So who will win and who will lose remains uncertain.”
Hearing this, Lady Sanmiao said to the Ghost King and Jade Yangzi, “Since that is the case, we shall remain here and watch them fight each other. It would be best if both sides suffer heavy losses, then we can kill our way back.
Moreover, while they are locked in battle, we can quietly infiltrate the Qingyun Sect and see whether we can steal the legendary Zhuxian Sword.
Are you not tempted by the Zhuxian Sword?”
A trace of burning desire flashed through the eyes of the Ghost King and Jade Yangzi.
They had long coveted the legendary Zhuxian Sword. If there were truly a chance this time, it would indeed be worth the risk.
After a brief moment of contemplation, the Ghost King said to Lady Sanmiao, “Madam’s insight is excellent! Then we shall wait below the mountain for a while and observe the outcome of the battle above.
If they both suffer heavy losses, we of the Demonic Sect will charge in together and exterminate that Corpse God and those so-called Righteous Path members alike.
If they fall into a stalemate, we shall infiltrate Qingyun Mountain to search for the Zhuxian Sword and see if we can seize it.”
Jade Yangzi nodded vigorously in agreement. “Ghost King, your judgment is indeed brilliant!”
Soon after, their figures flashed, and they led their respective disciples into hiding beneath Qingyun Mountain.
Meanwhile, when Lu Xueqi saw that the Corpse God had turned its gaze toward the Righteous Path, her figure flashed and she immediately appeared in front of the many Righteous Path members of the Qingyun Sect.
When the Righteous Path members sensed the Corpse God’s gaze, they felt a chill run through their entire bodies.
The Corpse God’s methods earlier had been too cruel and bloody. Those famous Demonic Path experts had been utterly powerless before it.
Although the overall strength of the Righteous Path surpassed that of the Demonic Path, if they truly went to war against the Corpse God, they would be far from its match.
However, when they saw Lu Xueqi appear, everyone could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
The terrifying strength she had displayed earlier had already conquered them. She was regarded as the number one expert of the Righteous Path.
With her present, perhaps she could deal with this Corpse God?
After Lu Xueqi appeared, the Corpse God’s eyes shone with an intense blood-red light, as though it had seen an incomparably tempting prey.
It let out a roar, its figure turning into a crimson afterimage as it charged toward Lu Xueqi, intending to replicate its previous method and absorb her blood.
It had sensed that the vitality within Lu Xueqi was extremely rich. If it could devour her, the power gained would likely exceed that of all living beings on the entire mountain combined.
Lu Xueqi looked at the charging Corpse God, her gaze completely calm.
She did not use any Dao technique. Instead, her figure also flashed forward to meet it head-on.
She was eager to verify just how terrifying her current physical strength truly was.
When she had fought the Ghost King earlier, his attacks had posed no threat to her at all. Now, facing a powerful Corpse God, her fighting spirit instead ignited as she resolved to battle it.
In an instant, the two figures collided like streaks of flowing light.
The Corpse God slashed with a claw toward Lu Xueqi. She sidestepped to evade it and simultaneously threw a punch toward its body.
“Boom!” A loud explosion rang out. The Corpse God’s arm brushed past the tip of Lu Xueqi’s nose without harming her in the slightest;
while Lu Xueqi’s full-powered strike directly sent the Corpse God flying!
The Corpse God tumbled through the air before crashing down with a “bang” onto a distant mountain ridge, forcefully smashing out a massive crater.
Looking at the result of her strike, Lu Xueqi was extremely satisfied.
Upon activating her Ancient God Body, the force of her punch seemed capable of crushing the void and suppressing eternity itself, terrifying beyond measure.
Even a being as powerful as the Corpse God could not gain the upper hand against her physical strength.
As Lu Xueqi blasted the Corpse God away with a single punch, the Righteous Path members on Qingyun Mountain erupted in cheers.
They had been worried she would be no match for it. Seeing her easily repel the Corpse God, the heavy stone weighing on their hearts finally fell.
Meanwhile, the Corpse God lay within the ravine of the mountain ridge, dark green blood seeping from the corner of its mouth—clearly, Lu Xueqi’s punch had injured it.
Yet the Corpse God showed no fear. Its figure flashed, returning to midair as it let out an enraged roar, clearly dissatisfied with its previous setback.
Immediately afterward, it frantically swung its claws. In an instant, countless dark green claw strikes shot toward Lu Xueqi like sharp blades.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi turned her head and shouted to the Righteous Path members, “Withdraw immediately and leave the range of this battlefield!”（For exhilarating reading, go online!）
Daoxuan and the others nodded at once without the slightest hesitation, leading everyone to retreat.
They understood clearly that with their strength, becoming involved in this battle would be nothing short of courting death.
Even Daoxuan, the strongest among them, would likely be unable to withstand a single move from the Corpse God.
Facing the whistling dark green blades, Lu Xueqi swung her fists to meet them. “Boom! Boom! Boom!” Explosions rang out in succession as the blades were instantly shattered by her strikes.
Looking at her smooth, jade-like fists that remained unscathed, Lu Xueqi grew even more satisfied with her physical strength.
Her figure flashed again as she rushed toward the Corpse God once more, vowing to kill it;
the Corpse God likewise showed no weakness and charged forward.
The two collided violently in the void, and the resounding booms spread outward like thunder.
The Demonic Sect members hiding below the mountain watched with horrified expressions.
They had never imagined that Lu Xueqi and the Corpse God could erupt with such terrifying might.
Even the Ghost King, who had previously fought Lu Xueqi, was inwardly shaken.
The strength she now displayed far surpassed what she had shown during their battle.
He secretly rejoiced that she had held back earlier; otherwise, his fate would likely have been even more miserable.
Then, as he looked at the Corpse God and Lu Xueqi locked in stalemate, his eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced at Daoxuan and the others, who were nervously watching the battlefield ahead.
Lowering his voice, he said to Jade Yangzi and Lady Sanmiao, “Right now, the Righteous Path’s attention is entirely focused on the Corpse God and Lu Xueqi. This is the best opportunity for us to infiltrate the Qingyun Sect and steal the Zhuxian Sword. There is no time to delay—we act now!”
Jade Yangzi and Lady Sanmiao nodded without the slightest hesitation.
This was indeed a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. If they could steal the Zhuxian Sword, it would deal a tremendous blow to the Qingyun Sect, while the Demonic Path’s strength would surely soar.
After all, the might the Zhuxian Sword had displayed earlier had been simply astonishing.
