In fact, the Thunder King's Heart Spirit was very conflicted at this moment, because Yun Xiao's aura made it extremely displeased on one hand, yet on the other hand, it coveted his thunder attribute.

However, these two conflicting feelings made the Thunder King's Heart Spirit harbor an infinite killing intent toward Yun Xiao. It knew that as long as it killed this kid, the annoying aura would disappear instantly, and the essence blood of the thunder attribute would surely make its body more alive.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Just as the Thunder King's Heart Spirit's killing intent surged, Yun Xiao, having absorbed the thunder attribute power, seemed to have tasted some sweetness. After hearing his shout, he suddenly charged towards the spiritual mummified corpse.

Seeing this, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu exchanged a glance and didn't hesitate much, advancing from two directions to encircle the mummified spirit.

Because both of them knew that their greatest enemy at this moment was the mummified spirit. Without thoroughly eliminating this guy, neither of them stood a chance against it in a one-on-one fight.

Perhaps, on this Nine Dragons Continent, the relationship between strange spirits and humans had always been extremely hostile. Even if Tang Yuanmu harbored deep hatred toward Yun Xiao, at this moment, they could unite against a common adversary.

Conflicts among humans can only be regarded as internal issues, but hostility with strange spirits concerns the calamity of extinction. The cultivators of the Tenglong Continent undoubtedly detest strange spirits dozens of times more than the cultivators of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

"A bunch of ants!"

Seeing the three humans charging at him from three directions, the Thunder King's Heart Spirit let out a disdainful sneer. It then directly placed the black box in its hand on the wooden table in front of it, and with its other withered arm, it viciously thrust towards a certain black-clad youth's chest.

It seems that this spirit's spiritual wisdom wasn't low. It believed that if it could first kill the black-clad youth and then devour his blood energy, its strength would significantly increase, making it easier to handle the other two early-stage Origin Seeking Realm humans.

Swish!

The speed of the Thunder King's Heart Spirit was undoubtedly fast, but this action, identical to when it killed Li Qingran earlier, suddenly passed through Yun Xiao's body in the next moment, without a trace of blood splashing, appearing somewhat strange.

"Another afterimage?"

Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu on either side had witnessed this scene before in the outer hall of the Thunder King Main Hall, and responded immediately. Meanwhile, a black shadow had already appeared behind the Thunder King's Heart Spirit.

"Old fool, I'm here!"

Having used a shadow clone, Yun Xiao appeared behind the spirit in an instant and gently swung his Dragon Taming Sword, aiming at the spirit's neck.

Seeing this, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu's eyes sparkled. They wondered if this split-and-combine assault was about to end before they actually had to move.

Both of them had witnessed the sharpness of the Dragon Taming Sword. Especially Ye Suxin, who was once very intrigued by this extremely deceptive wooden sword. Naturally, this instance was no exception.

They both knew that this seemingly inconspicuous wooden sword was actually an indestructible divine weapon. Even if the mummified spirit's body was tough, if this sword slashed down, it would likely result in its decapitation.

"It's this aura!"

However, unexpectedly, as the seemingly inconspicuous wooden sword swept in, the Thunder King's Heart Spirit muttered a sentence. Instead of taking on the Dragon Taming Sword head-on, it lowered its head, dodging the divine sword aimed at its brain.

It seems that the annoying aura sensed by the Thunder King's Heart Spirit earlier involved the aura of the Dragon Taming Sword. Although it didn't know it was a supremely sharp divine weapon, it instinctively dodged it, not letting it touch.

"What a pity!"

A missed strike left Yun Xiao knowing he had lost the best opportunity. He originally thought the first appearance of the Dragon Taming Sword before this spirit would have some unexpected effects. But this spirit seemed to be different from any other spirit he had encountered before.

Bang!

As Yun Xiao missed his strike, a loud sound suddenly echoed. It turned out to be a stealthy palm strike from Tang Yuanmu, which accurately hit the back of the mummified spirit, making a loud noise.

ZZZZ...

However, as Tang Yuanmu reveled in successfully landing a hit, where his palm contacted the mummified corpse, a flash of silver lightning suddenly appeared, and he felt his entire right arm numb.

"Not good!"

One must admit, Tang Yuanmu is indeed a formidable expert. At this crucial moment, the aura around him suddenly turned eerie; a tinge of blood-colored light emerged from his torso, instantly pouring into his numb right arm.

Swish!

Simultaneously, the right hand of the zombie, with its five claws, swiftly grasped with a speed too fast to cover ears, catching onto Tang Yuanmu's retracting right arm.

A ripping sound of fabric echoed; it turned out to be Tang Yuanmu's right sleeve, torn apart by the zombie's sharp five claws, even leaving five streaks of blood on the skin beneath.

If Tang Yuanmu had not employed certain secret techniques at that critical moment, the zombie's claws might have directly pierced through his right arm, tearing it into five pieces.

Clang! Clang!

Not to mention Tang Yuanmu's frightful retreat, at this moment, two crisp sounds echoed again. Yun Xiao saw clearly that it was another Killing Heart Sect's genius, Ye Suxin, making her move.

This Killing Heart Sect genius specializes in speed. Although she couldn't create afterimages like Yun Xiao, her ghostly movement technique allowed her to seize the opportunity after the two had attacked, accurately stabbing with the short blades in her hands towards the zombie's eyes.

But at this moment, despite Ye Suxin's speed, the zombie's eye-closing action was faster. Just as the two blades were about to pierce through his eyes, they ended up only piercing against his eyelids.

If it were an ordinary person's eyelids, they wouldn't withstand Ye Suxin's piercing attack. The final result might have been the piercing through of both eyelids and eyeballs.

Yet, this was a strange spirit of unknown age, and the zombie body had become extremely hard. Despite being thin as eyelids, Ye Suxin's twin blades couldn't penetrate, resulting in a stalemate.

Whoosh...

The Thunder King's Heart spirit wouldn't react slowly; seeing the twin blades against his eyelids, his right claws swiftly struck towards Ye Suxin's abdomen.

If the five claws struck, Ye Suxin, without the hard skin of the zombie, would likely end up with her intestines spilled, and fall at this place.

One must admit this Killing Heart Sect genius possesses some skill. Calculating that her twin blades couldn't pierce the zombie's eyelids fast enough, and that her abdomen would be torn first, she didn't hesitate, and with a toe on the ground, she spun elegantly in a circle.

In doing so, Ye Suxin's twin blades failed to pierce the zombie's eyes, and the zombie's right claws couldn't harm Ye Suxin at all. It appeared this genius from Killing Heart Sect was indeed above Tang Yuanmu.

The swift exchange was truly a life and death situation, inches away from crossing over to the afterlife. Seeing that the spirit's hide was as hard as steel, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu dared not act rashly for a moment.

However, the strange spirit zombie didn't overthink, having injured Tang Yuanmu and forced Ye Suxin back, his gaze landed directly on a certain black-clad young man. His greatest target was still this human youth who could greatly enhance his power.

Witnessing this, both Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu couldn't help pondering, thinking that this way, their pressure was somewhat relieved.

But, upon further thought, they felt uneasy. Could it be that, in the Thunder King's Heart spirit's mind, a Qi Seeking Realm late-stage youngster was more threatening than two Origin Seeking Realm early-stage experts?

Seeing the Thunder King's Heart spirit charging towards himself, Yun Xiao's mind tightened. He seemed to understand why this guy attacked him first; it seemed his body's thunder attribute power was extremely tempting to this spirit.

"Hehe, quite the coincidence!"

Upon realizing all this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but reveal a peculiar smile. The opponent coveted his thunder attribute power, and he was no different. Moreover, this fully developed Thunder King's Heart spirit was likely stronger than all those Earth Rank Thunder Woods combined, right?

Although the Thunder King's Heart spirit could only unleash the power equivalent to the Origin Seeking Realm middle stage now, it was only because of the poor body control. This corpse, which died countless years ago, except for its hard skin, couldn't perfectly resonate with the Thunder King's Heart spirit's true power.

Being called the Thunder King's Heart indicated its grade had reached the Heavenly Rank Low Level. However, the spiritual wisdom cultivated through the Thunder King's Heart was too peculiar, requiring this sole corpse to battle with everyone.

If Li Qingran hadn't attempted to be clever by infusing his essence blood into this corpse, the Thunder King's Heart spirit would at most be a trace of spiritual wisdom, failing to pose any threat to the human body.

Regardless, at this moment, the Thunder King's Heart spirit wielded power comparable to the Origin Seeking Realm middle stage. If Yun Xiao didn't deploy his trump cards, the ultimate outcome would probably be dire.
