CHAPTER 2303: CHAPTER 2302: ANCIENT WARRIOR CORPSES

That was just the first corpse warrior, and immediately afterward, seven more appeared at seven different positions.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Seven auras as terrifying as before emanated from them.

They all crawled up from the ground, their faces hideous and their bodies bloody. A layer of dark killing intent enveloped them. That dark killing intent was a more advanced killing domain than Lin Dong’s.

"These eight corpse warriors, each possessed the strength of Heavenly Realm martial artists when they were alive. Moreover, they had been on the battlefield and killed more than a hundred thousand people!"

"In life, they could be called gods of the battlefield. In death, they are the death gods among the undead!" The voice of the Sovereign Witch rang out, and she exclaimed again.

To refine eight battlefield gods into the ’Blood Slaughter Formation’—what a feat.

This God Susanoo is indeed extraordinary.

At the moment, Lin Dong was also looking at the eight corpse warriors. He felt the terrifying killing intent on them, as if his own domain of killing intent was being suppressed.

The artifact spirit of the Yangxin Sword, ’Xiao Bai’, was also howling: "Master, the people they’ve killed are more than I’ve ever slain. The killing aura on them is comparable even to the fourth-order ’Blood Spirit Weapon’ among our spiritual artifacts."

The so-called ’Blood Spirit Weapon’ is said to be a righteous path spiritual device filled with blood. Slay a thousand people to advance to first-order Blood Spirit Weapon, ten thousand for second-order, a hundred thousand for third, and a million for fourth-order.

And now, the negative energy exuded from each of these eight corpse warriors was akin to fourth-order Blood Spirit Weapons.

They are simply gods of killing!

At the moment, the eight corpse warriors stood in the positions of the Eight Trigrams.

They moved to encircle Lin Dong.

"Roar~~~"

The first corpse warrior held a blood-colored long spear. That spear itself was a Blood Spirit Weapon.

Moreover, it was a third-order Blood Spirit Weapon!

"It’s a pity I can’t devour Blood Spirit Weapons, not following the path of cultivating Blood Spirit Weapons. Otherwise, that would have been a great tonic for me," said the artifact spirit of the Yangxin Sword, ’Xiao Bai’, regretfully.

Blood Spirit Weapons are a type of evil weapon among spiritual devices, living off blood and easily causing martial artists to deviate into evil territory. Many appear to possess Blood Spirit Weapons, yet are actually just puppets controlled by them, mindless living corpses.

For such ’Blood Spirit Weapons’, destruction is the right choice.

"Clang~~~" At this moment, the corpse warrior holding the blood spear thrust it like a dragon toward Lin Dong.

This spear was akin to an ancient martial-level attack!

As it was thrust out, blood Qi transformed into a blood dragon, roaring toward Lin Dong.

This blood dragon not only possessed terrifying physical attacks but also carried mental attacks that could influence one’s mental state.

At the moment, Lin Dong slashed out twice.

The first sword, typical ancient martial arts—One Sword Opens the Heavens, cutting off the physical form of the blood dragon.

The second sword, a Sword of Spiritual Power, cutting off its spiritual form as well.

Though he blocked the spear effortlessly, it consumed quite a lot, equivalent to exerting two ancient martial attacks consecutively.

"This can’t go on; this array will wear you down." The Sovereign Witch said.

Lin Dong, however, was thinking about something else.

"Earlier, the spear of that corpse warrior actually fused two different forms of attack. There was a physical attack from the blood dragon that could shred any defense below Heavenly Realm martial artists. Beyond this, there was an invisible spiritual attack hidden within."

"If careless, even when blocking the physical attack, one could still get harmed by the mental attack, leading to mental injuries."

"I can easily fend off both physical and mental attacks because, besides being a powerful martial artist, I am also a mental power monk. But if it were anyone else, merely a martial artist, even a second Heavenly Realm martial artist might not withstand that spear."

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered as he thought, if a deceased corpse warrior could fuse physical and mental attacks together.

Why can’t I?

Thinking of this, his eyes brightened again.

Another moment of enlightenment!

Indeed, only in a life-and-death battle does growth happen the fastest. This growth isn’t just in strength, mental state, technical enhancement but also includes all kinds of enlightenment!

The probability of enlightenment in life-and-death battles is exponentially higher than usual.

This is why many martial artists stuck in bottlenecks for years like to seek life-and-death battles.

"Kill~~"

At this moment, all eight corpse warriors charged toward Lin Dong.

That corpse warrior holding the blood spear seemed to be the leader of the eight. Its strength was the greatest, and each spear thrust contained both physical and spiritual dual attacks.

In life, it might have been, like Lin Dong, a dual cultivator of martial arts and mental power!

The other seven corpse warriors were not weak either; they had been Heavenly Realm martial artists before. Even as corpse warriors, they could still show their ancient martial arts from life.

One corpse warrior slashed with a sword.

That slash was the Dragon Country ancient martial art ’White Tiger Destroyer’!

The sword aura transformed into an uphill tiger, filled with boundless killing intent, capable of devouring mountains and seas.

Another corpse warrior executed a fist technique, equally a Dragon Country ancient martial art.

This punch was called ’Dragon’s Chant to the Nine Heavens’.

With one punch, the fist wind transformed into a dragon-shaped Qi force soaring into the clouds and then diving down. The momentum was so immense it seemed even the void could be shattered.

The third corpse warrior bellowed, using a sound wave attack, another kind of Dragon Country ancient martial art ’Lion King’s Roar’.

Sound waves transformed into ocean waves, shattering everything in their path.

The fourth corpse warrior held a hammer. Executed an ancient martial hammer technique ’Meteor Falling into the Milky Way’.

The hammer’s force weighed a hundred thousand pounds!

The eight corpse warriors all launched ancient martial-level attacks, coming at Lin Dong from different directions.

Lin Dong noticed that their ancient martial arts were all Dragon Country ancient martial arts. Moreover, they were the kind of techniques used in battles, capable of killing thousands or ten thousand foes.

These moves were typically those battlefield killing techniques of Dragon Country’s ancient battlefield gods.

"Could they have been battlefield gods of Dragon Country’s ancient battlefield when they were alive?" Lin Dong couldn’t help but have this thought.

But evidently, this wasn’t the time to think about such things.

Facing the onslaught of the eight great corpse warriors, Lin Dong quickly employed defense, swiftly evading.

"Swish swish swish~~~"

To conserve Inner Qi, Lin Dong stopped confronting them head-on using ancient martial arts and instead used the Wind Riding Technique to evade.

His current speed had surpassed six times the speed of sound. At such a terrifying speed, the eight corpse warriors’ attacks couldn’t even touch Lin Dong’s shadow.

"Kill, kill, kill!!!"

However, just then, the leader corpse warrior holding the blood spear repeatedly shouted the word ’kill’.

"That’s the killing word decision in the Blood Slaughter Formation; each time it utters the killing word decision, the killing intent in the Blood Slaughter Formation stacks up."

"Just like stacking rage, the Blood Slaughter Formation becomes more horrifying!" said the Sovereign Witch.

Indeed, as the Sovereign Witch said, when the killing word decision was uttered the second time, the killing intent in the Blood Slaughter Formation became much more intense than before.

The blood Qi was boundless, the black fog rolled on.

The killing domains around the eight corpse warriors spread much further.
