Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"You don't recognize me?"

"Hahahaha! Do you know them?"

Faced with Lu Feng's probing questions, Yun Zhonghe first laughed loudly, then flicked his sleeves and immediately took out two broken skull soul lamps from his waist, with two flickering candle flames visible inside.

Roar! Roar!

The candlelight flickered, as if it might go out at any moment. But the instant it was aimed at Lu Feng, the two candlelights flashed wildly and then transformed into two hideous ghostly figures, as if they had seen a mortal enemy.

Surprisingly, the two hideous ghostly figures were none other than the two Heavenly Corpse Path disciples who had been killed by Lu Feng in Lin Family Village.

"You're also from the Heavenly Corpse Path?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng instantly understood.

After all, only the unpredictable disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Path in the entire Dongyun Kingdom could control corpses and know how to store the souls of the dead in soul lamps.

"You little brat, I am determined to skin you alive, tear you apart, and grind your bones to dust, as a blood sacrifice to the spirits of my second and third brothers in heaven!"

With a backhand motion, Yun Zhonghe retrieved the Skull Soul Lamp, his killing intent surging once more. His crimson eyes were fixed intently on Lu Feng opposite him, as if he would suddenly attack at any moment.

Originally, he planned to first obtain the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Sect, and then take the opportunity to deal with Lu Feng and avenge his two junior brothers.

But opportunity waits for no one. Yun Zhonghe had just subdued the corpse spirit when Lu Feng's aura suddenly appeared nearby, exposing him to his senses.

Therefore, Yun Zhonghe rushed over without stopping, intending to completely annihilate Lu Feng.

"Such a powerful killing intent...!"

"So it was him!"

Lu Feng felt a chill run down his spine when he sensed the overwhelming killing intent emanating from Yun Zhonghe.

Once, outside the Golden Palace, he was locked onto by an unnamed killing intent, but the killing intent suddenly disappeared the next moment. Lu Feng originally thought it was his imagination.

Now it seems that his judgment and reaction were not wrong; there really was someone who wanted to kill him!

"Heh, you keep saying you want to kill me to avenge your junior brother, but little do you know that your Heavenly Corpse Dao sect is no better. You committed unforgivable crimes in Lin Family Village in the past, with blood on your hands!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng smirked and said coldly, "To put it bluntly, getting rid of those two good-for-nothing junior brothers for you can be considered cleaning house and doing justice for Heaven..."

"How dare you, you brat, spout such nonsense!"

Before Lu Feng could finish speaking, Yun Zhonghe flew into a rage, his face instantly turning ashen. "How can we, the disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, be compared to a bunch of worthless mortals? Even if many of those mortals, as insignificant as ants and weeds, die, it won't be worth the lives of my two junior brothers!"

"You little brat, today is the day you die!"

With another roar, Yun Zhonghe leaped towards Lu Feng opposite him, unleashing his full Yuan Power without reservation, and struck the latter's vital abdomen with a heavy palm strike.

"Heart-Shattering and Bone-Splitting Palm!"

Faced with Yun Zhonghe's sudden attack, Lu Feng did not retreat at all. He also leaped forward and met the attack with a palm strike, his inner energy surging out like a tidal wave.

Boom! BOOM!

In an instant, the two palm strikes collided violently, followed by a deafening roar. The residual force of the impact swept outwards, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The next moment, Lu Feng and Yun Zhonghe also retreated rapidly. However, the former was pale and retreated dozens of meters before finally stopping. He looked very disheveled and was obviously at a disadvantage in the fight.

"First level of the Meridian Opening Realm?"

Suppressing the sweet taste rising in his throat, Lu Feng frowned and looked at Yun Zhonghe opposite him again, a hint of seriousness appearing between his brows.

Although Yun Zhonghe's skills were in the art of soul control and corpse refining, and his strength was slightly weaker than that of other martial artists of the same level, his opponent was, after all, a master of the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm, who overwhelmed Lu Feng by a whole major realm in terms of cultivation level!

Therefore, even though Lu Feng tried his best, he could only barely block Yun Zhonghe's casual palm strike and could not harm the opponent in the slightest.

"Even if you cultivate a mere second-grade martial art to its fullest potential, how could you possibly contend with me in the slightest?"

"You little brat, today I'll show you the true secrets of the Heavenly Corpse Path and give you a quick and painless death!"

Having injured Lu Feng with a single palm strike, Yun Zhonghe's killing intent remained undiminished. The next moment, he raised his hand to his storage ring, chanting incantations, "Heavenly Corpse Summoning Scripture, Four Spirits Killing Array, activate!"

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

A series of ghostly wails and howls were heard, and the next moment, four black shadows darted out from Yun Zhonghe's finger ring and scattered to the four corners, surrounding Lu Feng in the center of the open space. They exuded a strong corpse aura and were clearly corpse people!

"Four corpses?"

"Moreover, their bodies are filled with a dense aura of death, and their strength is no weaker than that of a tenth-level Qi Condensation Realm cultivator...!"

Suddenly surrounded, Lu Feng's heart trembled, and his face instantly turned ugly.

After all, with his current strength, dealing with Yun Zhonghe, who is at the first level of the Qi Opening Realm, is already somewhat troublesome. Now, with four corpses appearing out of nowhere with strength comparable to the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, his chances of winning have been greatly reduced!

"Huh, he's just a lowly Qi Opening Realm ant, yet he possesses four flawless golden corpses? What kind of incredible luck did this guy have? It's really strange..."

At this critical moment, Gu Canyang, inside the treasure basin, also spoke with suspicion, seemingly having seen through the mysterious origins of these corpses before him.

"What exactly is this ancient, flawless golden corpse?"

Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then asked nervously.

Although he had fought against the disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Path in the past, those disciples were relatively weak, and the corpses they summoned were also quite ordinary, not comparable to Yun Zhonghe in front of him at all!

"The crafting of corpses was a unique skill of the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Sect back then. The strength of the corpses is related to the strength of their corpse energy. Generally, from weakest to strongest, they are low-level zombies, ordinary bronze zombies, superior silver zombies, and powerful flawless gold zombies."

"For most corpse beings, their strength is generally fixed and difficult to improve through external forces. However, the flawless golden corpse is an exception. Not only can it absorb the corpse energy of its own kind to become stronger, but it also possesses unlimited growth potential..."

Gu Canyang slowly explained, then changed the subject, "However, it is impossible to refine a flawless golden corpse using ordinary methods alone, unless one can find a ghostly creature such as a 'corpse spirit' and use it as nourishment, then there is only a slight chance of cultivating a flawless golden corpse..."

"I see...."

"Damn! This guy's luck is off the charts!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's brows furrowed into a deep frown once again.

If what Gu Canyang said is true, it is already so difficult to refine a flawless golden corpse, and Yun Zhonghe actually has four flawless golden corpses in his hands. That is indeed incredibly lucky!

"Go get him! Kill this brat!"

After summoning four flawless golden corpses, Yun Zhonghe didn't waste any words with Lu Feng. He chanted incantations again and controlled the flawless golden corpses to attack the latter.

The four flawless golden corpses were all different in appearance and surrounded by corpse energy. Apart from two unfamiliar faces, the rest were all familiar faces. They were none other than Gu Bushang, the eldest disciple of the Beihai Sword Sect, and Song Rentou, a young genius of the Song family!

In the past, when they were fighting for the treasure in the secret chamber, Gu Bushang and Song Rentou joined forces to deal with Yun Zhonghe, but unfortunately they failed in the end and ended up dying.

As for the other disciples of the Beihai Blade Sect and the Song family warriors, they were all killed by Yun Zhonghe, leaving no corpses behind.

After all, these people were too weak to be of any interest to Yun Zhonghe. They could only be used to refine some bronze and silver corpses, and were not worthy of being used as materials to refine flawless gold corpses.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Just as Lu Feng was stunned, two flawless golden corpses also rushed over, one on the left and one on the right, forming a pincer movement!

As for the remaining two flawless golden corpses, they were positioned at the front and back, respectively cutting off Lu Feng's retreat.

The so-called Four Spirits Killing Formation is the signature move of their Heavenly Corpse Path. It usually uses four corpses as pieces, occupying the four formations of Heavenly Spirit, Earthly Spirit, Mysterious Spirit, and Human Spirit respectively.

Each formation represents one of the four directions: east, south, west, and north. As long as the four corpses attack together, no matter how the enemy struggles, they will not be able to escape the encirclement and will only be able to wait for death!

"die!"

Surrounded, Lu Feng remained calm and raised his hand to unleash another palm strike, aimed directly at Song Rentou who was attacking from the left.

The other party was pale-faced, with lifeless eyes, and his whole body was filled with a dense aura of death. He seemed like a mindless puppet who was unafraid of death. He did not even try to dodge Lu Feng's counterattack.

Click!

A loud cracking sound of bones breaking rang out, and the next moment Song Rentou was also thrown back violently, falling backward like a kite with a short string, finally crashing heavily to the ground, leaving a huge crater in his wake.

Ugh...!

However, before Lu Feng could even feel happy, another mournful howl echoed from the enormous pit.

Swish!

The next second, Song Rentou, whose heart meridian had been pierced by Lu Feng's palm and whose bones had been shattered, also got up again. At this moment, the corpse aura on his body was as strong as ever, as if the palm strike had only tickled him and he was still unharmed!

"What's going on? We can't kill it...?!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng was also startled and couldn't help but feel sweat trickling down his back.

After all, facing Yun Zhonghe's Four Spirits Killing Formation and the siege of a group of flawless golden corpses, his biggest worry was not that he couldn't win, but that he couldn't kill them!
