Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 251 The Legion of Death, Crimson Jade's Gift [Please Subscribe]

Today, it is no secret why the Corpse Demon Sect is so eager to help Jingguo deal with the Dragon Transformation Sect.

The reason is very simple: it's for the corpses of the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect and the dragon blood spiritual objects of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Those who have cultivated the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" of the Dragon Transformation Sect generally have much stronger physical bodies than other cultivators of the same level, and their bodies also contain the bloodline of a dragon.

For the Corpse Demon Cult, this kind of corpse is undoubtedly an excellent material for corpse refining.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator's corpse, the easier it is to refine it into a powerful corpse refinement, and the greater its potential.

During the previous southern campaign, the corpses of many Hualong Sect cultivators were collected by the three major sects and handed over to the Corpse Demon Sect cultivators.

At the same time, many dragon blood spirit items were also given to the Corpse Demon Cult as payment.

Having tasted the benefits before, and now being able to wash away their infamy by resisting the beast tide, the Corpse Demon Cult will naturally not hesitate to continue to lend a helping hand.

In any case, as long as their side is the victor in the war, they will never lose anything.

Few forces can do better than them in the matter of using war to sustain war, after all, they can even refine the corpses of their own dead disciples into corpse refiners!

For example, this time, the Corpse Demon Sect not only sent several Golden Core cultivators and thirty fourth-order refined corpses, but also a large army of corpses!

This army of corpses contains more than sixty third-tier refined corpses, more than a thousand second-tier refined corpses, and more than five thousand first-tier refined corpses!

That night, this army of corpses, led by six fourth-tier spirit corpse generals, transformed into a legion of death and charged into the beast tide.

The grayish-black corpse energy gathered into a thick corpse mist that swirled around the legion of death. Any monster caught in it was quickly torn to pieces, its blood drained, and even its soul devoured.

In terms of ferocity and cruelty, even the most ruthless monsters cannot compare to yin creatures like corpse demons.

This scene filled the other monsters with even greater fear, causing them to flee from the legion of death, daring not to clash with it.

For a time, this death legion, numbering no more than ten thousand, was invincible among the hundred thousand demon beasts, with no enemy daring to stand in its way.

Such a display of power shocked many cultivators in the Fulong stronghold. They felt a growing sense of awe towards the Corpse Demon Sect, a neighboring sect they had only heard of but had little dealings with.

However, the high-level monsters in the beast tide certainly couldn't stand for this.

Soon, accompanied by a clear and melodious dragon roar, a fiery dragon riding a vast cloud of fire descended from the sky and crashed headlong into the legion of death.

In an instant, hundreds of corpses around the landing point of the dragon were ignited by the demonic fire and burned to ashes on the spot!

Roar--

The death of the corpse soldiers instantly ignited the rage of the leading spirit corpse generals. With a roar, they immediately wielded their specially made magical weapons and launched an attack on the dragon.

Suddenly, a spirit-communicating corpse surged with corpse energy, its size exploded, and it transformed into a three-zhang-tall, scaled monster, raising its long-handled giant axe and cleaving it down at the dragon.

In an instant, gray light condensed, and a gray blade of energy several meters long tore through the sky and slashed towards the Crimson Fire Dragon.

Faced with such an attack, the Crimson Fire Dragon remained fearless. With a wave of its claw, a crimson flame transformed into a fire dragon to meet the blade energy.

Boom!

After a loud bang, the gray blade energy and the crimson fire dragon dispersed in mid-air, resulting in a draw.

However, the Crimson Fire Dragon has four claws, and its mouth, tail, and horns can all be used to launch attacks.

While resisting the attack of the gray blade energy, it also spewed out streams of fire to sweep across the legion of death, and at the same time, its dragon tail swept out, smashing the corpses into pieces.

In just over ten breaths, it destroyed as many as two or three hundred corpses!

Such heavy casualties and losses caused great distress to the Golden Core cultivators of the Corpse Demon Cult who controlled the Corpse Generals and the Corpse Army through their divine sense.

Therefore, it quickly issued an order to the spirit-communicating corpse generals to surround and kill the Crimson Fire Dragon.

Suddenly, the six fourth-tier refined corpses leading the corpse army roared in unison, each releasing strong corpse energy and connecting with the third, second, and first-tier refined corpses to form an array, instantly creating a large corpse demon array using the corpses as the array.

In an instant, the power of thousands of refined corpses was concentrated into the six fourth-order spirit corpse generals, causing their aura to surge rapidly, and in a moment they all stepped into the upper-grade fourth-order realm.

Only these corpse refiners can do this kind of thing, gathering external forces to enhance cultivation.

Not only because their powers are of the same nature, but also because they have a low pain threshold and strong bodies, enabling them to withstand such a sudden surge of power.

Even without considering the repulsion between different types of magical power, it would be difficult for a cultivator's body to withstand that kind of power.

At this moment, the six spirit corpses, whose cultivation had surged to the upper rank of the fourth level, moved and quickly rushed to the side of the crimson fire dragon with their respective weapons.

Their gray-black corpse energy condensed into armor that enveloped them, completely unafraid of the Crimson Fire Dragon's demonic fire. They directly slashed and hammered at the long serpent, right up close to its body.

Faced with the combined attack of six fourth-tier superior-grade spirit corpse generals, the Crimson Fire Dragon was no longer as ferocious as before. It was quickly beaten and roared in anger, its body covered in wounds as it rushed into the sky and escaped the battlefield.

Seeing this, the six spirit-communicating corpses did not continue the pursuit. Instead, they dispersed the formation and continued to lead the Legion of Death to sweep through the low- and mid-level monsters in the beast tide.

Their mission as a zombie army was to sweep away the beast tide outside the Fulong stronghold. Taking advantage of the fact that zombies are tireless and can recover their strength by absorbing the life force of demonic beasts, they would fight to sustain themselves and completely crush the beast tide army.

Although many of the refined corpses had been killed by the Crimson Fire Dragon, the losses were still within an acceptable range compared to the entire corpse army.

Seeing the Corpse Army, a legion of death, advancing unimpeded through the beast tide, and witnessing many of the beasts fleeing in fear of the Corpse Army, the leaders of the Dragon Transformation Sect and the beasts had no choice but to send more people to stop the Corpse Army.

The Crimson Fire Dragon, which had previously escaped, returned to the battlefield, bringing with it a fourth-tier low-grade Fire Leopard demon beast and a Golden Core cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

One human and two demons charged back into the army of the dead, engaging in a fierce battle with the corpse army led by six spirit corpse generals.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were also on the battlefield at this moment. They were facing more than a hundred third-order demonic beasts and dozens of purple-mansion cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect. They even saw Lin Hongyu's figure.

Now, however, they are on the battlefield and neither side dares to contact the other. They can only fight each other without ever seeing each other.

In terms of numbers, the Yasukuni Alliance still holds a slight advantage.

After all, the previous southern expedition had already wiped out many Purple Mansion stage cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect, and this time it was a battle on home soil, so most of the cultivators who had been left to guard the mountain gates of the three major sects had been sent out.

This is also the source of the confidence that the Jingguo Alliance dared to take the initiative in attacking.

In actual combat, the Jingguo Allied Forces, whose cultivators came from diverse backgrounds, fought somewhat hesitantly. They were not as daring and aggressive as the demonic beasts, nor as willing to risk their lives as the cultivators of the Hualong Sect.

Therefore, even with a numerical advantage, the battlefield never saw a one-sided or overwhelming situation.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi had already decided before the battle that they could not fight as hard as before, and could not stand out too much.

If their spirit pets weren't already widely known, they probably wouldn't even want to send them out to fight.

Even with their many concerns, the Jingguo Alliance's numerical advantage became apparent as time went on.

In the latter half of the night, many of the Hualong Sect cultivators, who had exhausted their mana fighting against overwhelming odds, began to experience excessive depletion of their magical energy and could no longer maintain their previous ferocity.

Furthermore, their prolonged use of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" has led to severe physical exhaustion, resulting in various signs of weakness and other aftereffects.

In comparison, the demonic beasts were still holding on, maintaining good physical and magical strength.

Once the opponents of these Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators realized that something was wrong with them, they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and their attacks became even more ferocious than before.

Around midnight, around 3 AM, dozens of the Dragon Transformation Sect protectors began to suffer casualties.

For every Dragon Transformation Sect protector who dies, one or two Jingguo Purple Mansion cultivators will go to help the others fight the enemy.

Then, like a snowball rolling downhill, more and more of the Dragon Transformation Sect protectors perished under the siege of multiple enemies, thus increasing the pressure on the remaining members.

Once the number of fallen Dragon Transformation Sect protectors exceeded ten, the Jingguo Allied Forces' advantage became very clear.

"No, I can't hold on any longer. Everyone, let's retreat! Continuing to fight will only lead to our deaths!"

Finally, after being besieged by three opponents of the same level, one of the Dragon Transformation Sect protectors showed despair and turned to flee for his life.

When death is imminent, no order or concern is more important than one's own life.

Once someone takes the lead, it's hard for the rest not to follow.

Soon, a massive rout ensued!

All the protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect began to use various means to escape the battlefield, and no one considered the consequences of such a flight.

The escape of these people shocked and enraged the third-tier demonic beasts who were still holding out, and some of them subsequently joined the fleeing group.

At this point, fleeing might not necessarily lead to death, but staying on the battlefield would certainly mean certain death. Even a demon beast would know which choice to make.

"Chase them! We can't let these beasts get away so easily!"

Seeing the fleeing monsters, cultivators from the three major sects shouted orders for them to give chase, and indeed, many people pursued them.

In order to avoid criticism, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi also participated in the pursuit.

The target of their pursuit was Lin Hongyu, who had escaped earlier.

Lin Hongyu's injuries had not yet healed, and she had no choice but to join the battle at this time.

On the battlefield tonight, she didn't dare to charge recklessly as before, and she became much more restrained and cautious.

She quickly noticed the Zhou family's pursuit of her, and in a tacit understanding, she led them away in a certain direction.

After flying over a thousand miles in one go, Lin Hongyu landed in a valley and waited for the Zhou family.

Not long after, the two members of the Zhou family rode the Azure Dragon to the valley.

"Several years have passed since we last met. I hope you are well, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Inside the valley, Zhou Mingde smiled as he looked at the beautiful woman in red opposite him and was the first to greet her.

Then he stepped off the back of the Azure Dragon and gestured to Zhou Daoyi to put away the conspicuous spirit pet.

Of course, this was also to show goodwill to Lin Hongyu.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Hongyu looked haggard and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is well aware of my current predicament, so please don't make fun of me!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Mingde's smile vanished, and he immediately looked at her seriously, asking, "Then what are your plans for the future, Fellow Daoist Lin? After this crushing defeat of the Dragon Transformation Sect, I'm afraid they can only retreat to their main altar and hold out for their lives. At that time, your previous plans will likely be difficult to realize!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what to do next. We can only take it one step at a time. If they really all retreat back to the main altar and hold out, then I have no other choice but to obey the decision from above!"

At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked wide at Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, saying, "But if there is still a chance, I beg Fellow Daoist Zhou to keep our previous agreement and help me break free from these constraints!"

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lin, as long as there is a real opportunity, Zhou and Dao Yi will definitely do our best to help you achieve your wish!"

Faced with Lin Hongyu's expectant gaze, Zhou Mingde glanced at Zhou Daoyi, who stood beside him with a stern face and remained silent, and readily agreed.

Relieved by his personal promise, Lin Hongyu smiled and said, "With Fellow Daoist Zhou's words, I am at ease."

After saying that, he suddenly patted the storage bag at his waist and took out a white monster egg with dark red patterns.

"I recently acquired a Bloodflame Dragon Python egg, but it's of little use to me, so I'm giving it to Fellow Daoist Zhou."

She was clearly a smart person and knew exactly how to befriend the Zhou family and how to cater to their preferences.

The Bloodflame Dragon Python is a unique demonic beast of the Blood Dragon Hall of the Dragon Transformation Sect. It is a mid-level demonic beast with the bloodline of the Bloodflame Flood Dragon, and its potential is definitely not much worse than Zhou Chun's Silver Lightning Python.

No Zhou family cultivator could possibly refuse such a treasure.

"Oh, I can't accept this. Fellow Daoist Lin, you're too kind!"

Zhou Mingde spoke politely, but his hands honestly took the Bloodflame Dragon Python egg.

Upon seeing this, Lin Hongyu smiled gently and said, "I'm glad Fellow Daoist Zhou is satisfied with this gift. If I can truly escape this cage in the future, I will definitely prepare another generous gift to repay you."

After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, to avoid exposing our relationship, I'll take my leave now. Farewell!"

Then he gave Zhou Daoyi a deep look before taking off and leaving the valley.

The second update is here!
