CHAPTER 1531: CHAPTER 1490 CONDITIONS

Huo Ling’er and Lu Chuan are struggling to hold on.

Even though she temporarily borrowed the Divine Fire of the Sun from Lu Chuan, which can harm the Corpse Ghost King, Huo Ling’er is still inexperienced with it. If used improperly, the Divine Fire of the Sun could even burn her, so she can only reluctantly engage in a standoff with the Corpse Ghost King.

But in a battle of endurance, the Corpse Ghost King clearly has the upper hand!

As soon as it takes a minor injury, the Corpse Ghost King opens its mouth wide, inhaling countless Corpse Ghosts, and instantly heals its wounds. Unfortunately, Huo Ling’er has no such abnormal regenerative methods.

Moreover, Lu Chuan’s situation isn’t much better.

The endless influx of Corpse Ghosts from all directions seems unstoppable. Lu Chuan has already sat down on the spot, using many elixir pills to recuperate, but the restoration of Spiritual Power can’t keep pace with its consumption.

Even more troubling, Xiao Wu has joined the fight.

Seeing his sister and Lu Chuan trapped, Xiao Wu acts without a second thought, diving straight down from the clouds. Witnessing this, Huo Ling’er’s face falls.

It must be understood that Xiao Wu is only at the Nascent Soul Realm now; if he enters the Corpse Ghost Group, he could be overwhelmed in just a few breaths!

"Oh? Another one has come."

The Corpse Ghost King immediately notices Xiao Wu, a glint of mischief in its eyes.

It had just seen the flash of anxiety in Huo Ling’er’s eyes, making it clear that this little demon is Huo Ling’er’s weakness.

Continuing to fight at this rate is fruitless for both sides, only consuming his citizens unnecessarily. Thankfully, an opportunity has unexpectedly presented itself!

"Seeking death!"

The Corpse Ghost King snorts coldly, its physical form erupting with powerful force, smashing a fist into the ground. The earth crumbles instantly, cracks spreading towards Xiao Wu, intent on engulfing him. Seeing this, Huo Ling’er doesn’t hesitate for a moment, dashing forward to grab Xiao Wu and pull him out of the Corpse Ghost Group, narrowly escaping the blow!

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing here! You haven’t grown enough yet; hurry and leave this place!"

"No! My big sister and that human are bravely fighting. How can I hide by myself!"

"You’re courting death!"

"I won’t die! Sister, I’m already an adult. I can also make the right judgments and choices!"

Xiao Wu breaks free from Huo Ling’er, ignoring her advice, and rushes back into the Corpse Ghost Group, his arms shaking, unleashing Samadhi True Fire that incinerates hundreds of Corpse Ghosts!

Admittedly, the Samadhi True Fire’s restraint on the Corpse Ghosts is far beyond Huo Ling’er’s expectations.

But...

Were it not for Lu Chuan holding the frontline pressure, with Xiao Wu’s cultivation, he would have already been consumed!

"No taking risks; be ready to leave as soon as the Corpse Ghost Group retreats!"

At this point, Huo Ling’er knows well her brother’s character, deciding not to stop him anymore. She focuses instead on holding off the Corpse Ghost King.

Yet, the Corpse Ghost King’s body is incredibly strong and its power astonishing, forcing Huo Ling’er to keep dodging and weaving. A hit from its fists could seriously injure her!

"Like a fly, always buzzing around, annoyingly disturbing."

The Corpse Ghost King lets out a long breath, suddenly opening its bloody mouth to spew a swirl of black-purple Poison Miasma at Huo Ling’er. Unable to dodge in time, she still inhales a mouthful, her face turning black-purple while her demonic power becomes chaotic, rendering it unusable!

Seeing this, Lu Chuan’s expression darkens. He immediately commands the Golden Luster Stick and Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna to attack the Corpse Ghost King, buying time for Huo Ling’er!

Fortunately, the Divine Fire of the Sun suppresses the Poison Miasma, soon expelling it from Huo Ling’er’s body as she coughs out poisonous blood.

Even so, the damage from the Poison Miasma to Huo Ling’er’s body cannot be ignored.

The Poison Miasma corrodes her internal organs upon entry, delivering piercing pain throughout her body. Each breath nearly sends Huo Ling’er into unconsciousness from agony!

"Damn... Tower Spirit, can you hold them off for me temporarily?"

"No problem, but you better be quick, Lu Chuan. Huo Ling’er can’t hold on much longer."

Without recovery methods, her internal injuries will worsen critically if not treated soon. Hearing this, Lu Chuan nods slightly, rushing to Huo Ling’er’s side. He stuffs several elixir pills into her mouth and shields her behind him.

"Mr. Corpse Ghost, don’t you just want to leave here? I can agree to it, but there’s no need for a death sentence, right?"

"Humans only believe when they see a coffin. Are you sure you can take my clan out of here?"

"Of course, since I came in, I can go out. However, if you want me to help you leave, there are some conditions."

"What conditions?"

Lu Chuan glances at Huo Ling’er, noting her improved complexion, and thinks about continuing to stall for time, hoping to give her more time to recover.

"Simple, I’ve heard you’ve made several Corpse Puppets, one of which has a body crucial to me. You must return it to me."

"What’s the second condition?"

"Let these two leave."

"And what else?"

Lu Chuan then shrugs and says deeply, "That’s all, just those two."

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Ghost King nods slightly but suddenly laughs after a moment.

"What if I say I refuse both conditions?"

"Then you can stay here forever; you’ll never get out!"

"Once I kill you and turn you into a Corpse Puppet, I’ll naturally learn how to leave from your mouth! You’re not qualified to negotiate with me!"

As the words fall, the Corpse Ghost King suddenly vanishes from sight. Lu Chuan only feels a chill from behind and instantly turns back, only to see the Corpse Ghost King appear overhead of Xiao Wu, its palm crashing down heavily!

"I’ll kill you first and then deal with the others!"

If this hit lands, Xiao Wu will certainly die. Even an Elixir that can revive the dead wouldn’t save someone smashed into paste!

It’s just...

Xiao Wu, sensing it, looks up and his face turns pale.

Looking at the descending palm, Xiao Wu instinctively raises his arms to shield himself. But after waiting for some time, the attack hasn’t landed yet. Xiao Wu looks up to find Huo Ling’er had chased up and actually used her own body to block the strike!

With just one hit, the back of Huo Ling’er caved in instantly, leaving her already weak life force hanging by a thread!

"Tower Spirit, now’s the time!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan feels as if he’s been struck hard, but there’s no time to zone out!

Retrieving the Golden Luster Stick and Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna, at the next moment, the Tower Spirit instantly triggers the Formation’s eruption of all the Magic Artifacts, the powerful shock wave even blasting the Corpse Ghost King away. Lu Chuan seizes the opportunity to carry Huo Ling’er and Xiao Wu on his shoulders, quickly making an escape!

"Huo Ling’er, just hold on a bit longer. I’m going to help heal you now!"
