Chapter 1825 A desperate battle
The powerful members of the smaller factions didn't even have a chance to face the Corpse King head-on; they were all sent flying in a single exchange.
The Corpse King hadn't tasted fresh blood in a long time, and the restless factors within him grew increasingly agitated and surging.
He impatiently grabbed a person, brought it to his mouth, and his chilling fangs immediately sank into the person's neck.
"Ahhh!!" The person first felt pain and couldn't help but cry out. Then the sound grew softer and softer... until finally, he stopped breathing completely!
In the blink of an eye, the person in the Corpse King's hands became a dried-up corpse, dead beyond any doubt.
Not enough, still not enough!
He needs to suck the blood of more people!
The Corpse King licked his lips; he was so thirsty. He grabbed another person and began to bite them, giving the others the opportunity to launch an attack, but it was completely ineffective.
The Corpse King's body was as hard as a copper wall and iron bones.
"It seems that we can only pin our hopes on the combined formation of the four major families."
"What if even the combined formation can't severely injure him?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned ashen.
If that time really comes, everyone on the Ancient Road Continent will die!
The four great families are already the pinnacle of power on the Ancient Road Continent. Even they are no match for us. Everyone on the Ancient Road Continent is just waiting to be bitten!
"Don't get distracted! Try your best to hurt the Corpse King; there's still room for maneuver!" Ruan Yu tried her best to stop the Corpse King from capturing people.
She had saved countless lives, and when she turned around, she found a group of people chatting together.
Ruan Yu was furious!
How did these powerful individuals cultivate to their current level? With a formidable enemy at hand, they still have the leisure to chat idly? Aren't they nervous or afraid at all?
"We can't hurt him at all!"
"You make it sound so easy. If you're so capable, show us how you can hurt the Corpse King!" Jiang He covered her mouth, lowered her voice, and provoked them with a very neutral tone.
Ruan Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She flashed behind Jiang He and kicked him out of the rubble.
"No! Ahhhhh!! Ruan Yu, you bitch, you'll die a horrible death!" Jiang He watched helplessly as she flew towards the Corpse King, frantically gesturing wildly in the air.
She didn't want to die like this!
Although he could be resurrected, the pain he felt before he died was real.
She is most afraid of pain.
There happened to be someone right in front of her, and Jiang He grabbed that person's hand without hesitation and held it against her.
"No!!" The people in front were so focused on attacking the Corpse King that they didn't even notice someone behind them.
He was pushed onto the Corpse King, who then took the opportunity to bite his neck.
With a scapegoat in front of her, Jiang He seized the opportunity to escape. She rolled on the ground, quickly got up, and ran into the crowd.
She refused to believe that Ruan Yu could possibly drive away everyone around her.
The plan is good, but whether Ruan Yu agrees to implement it depends on whether she does.
"Vines, bind!"
Several thick vines sprouted from the ground and grabbed Jiang He's feet.
Jiang He lost her balance and fell face-first to the ground. Her face slammed heavily onto the broken pieces of earth, causing her to cry out in pain. But that wasn't all; vines dragged her along the ground, leaving trails of blood.
They only disappeared after dragging her in front of Ruan Yu.
"Jiang He," Ruan Yu gritted her teeth.
She truly regretted letting Jiang He in!
That heartless bastard actually pushed someone to their death!
"What are you going to do? If you dare to kill me, the Jiang and Yan families will not forgive you. If you release me now, I can forgive and forget what happened before."
Jiang He turned over, her beautiful face was slashed beyond recognition, covered in blood, with flesh torn out.
Even so, Ruan Yu was still not satisfied.
Those who were killed by Jiang He must not rest in peace!
Ruan Yu was in a hurry to deal with the Corpse King and didn't have time to torture Jiang He, so she threw a poisonous Gu into her mouth.
"Ugh!" The Gu worm entered her mouth and, like snot, slid down Jiang He's throat and into her stomach. Jiang He wanted to vomit but couldn't; she felt nauseous!
"What did you feed me?!" she screamed.
Ruan Yu ignored her, drew her sword, and charged out to fight the Corpse King.
Huo Yun couldn't appear in public, lest he attract unwanted attention.
Ruan Yu temporarily borrowed the power of Huo Yun, and his cultivation level broke through to the Transcendent God rank in a short period of time.
An indescribable, wonderful warmth flowed through her entire body, making Ruan Yu feel indescribably comfortable.
She clenched her fist, feeling a surge of immense power within her, an urge to unleash it!
The crowd was stunned by her sudden surge of power and quickly stepped back.
"She had been hiding her cultivation level; she's a super-powerful expert!"
“Aren’t the Gu Su family head and the others also at the Transcendent God level? Yet when they faced the Corpse King alone, they were no match for him at all.”
"I believe her. The pressure emanating from her made my heart pound, even though she wasn't targeting me."
"Look! The Corpse King is walking past her!" someone exclaimed.
Ruan Yu noticed it too, and raised an eyebrow.
Did the Corpse King realize that he could pose a threat to him, so he wanted to get rid of him first?
Yeah.
Then let's fight to the death!
Instead of retreating, Ruan Yu advanced, her Ice-Breaking Sword unleashing a barrage of sharp blades! The fierce sword energy, like dense raindrops, slammed violently into the Corpse King's body.
The Corpse King took a step back, a look of pain appearing on his face.
It works!
Her attacks were no longer just tickling!
Ruan Yu pressed on, gathering her strength before unleashing a powerful sword strike. This strike, imbued with surging sword intent, hurtled irresistibly towards the Corpse King.
In a daze, everyone seemed to see a female general who had been through many battles, bravely leading her soldiers to fight the enemy!
Is this actually Ruan Yu's sword intent?
How many battles did she go through to hone such sword intent?
"Formation complete!" The combined formation has been set up.
The Yuan family head's aura surged dramatically.
The rest of the four families collapsed, weakened.
All the divine power in their bodies had been drained, and anyone present could easily kill them.
Of course, this does not include Jiang He.
Jiang He tried several times to pull Ruan Yu away, but the Gu worms were causing trouble in her body. One moment they would bite her heart, the next they would inject toxins into her stomach, torturing her to the point of unbearable pain!
"Yan Xu... save me!... That bitch, she poisoned me..." Jiang He pleaded with Yan Xu.
She wanted Yan Xu to see Ruan Yu's true colors.
To her surprise, Yan Xu came over, but instead of helping her up, he fed her another poisonous pill.
"She wants to poison you, so I'll help her."
After saying that, Yan Xu turned around and went to help Ruan Yu without looking back.
Jiang He was left lying on the ground like a dead dog, foaming at the mouth.
The battle between Ruan Yu and the Corpse King was too intense. When the aftershocks swept over, the members of the four major families were protected by their guards and remained unharmed. Jiang He, however, was in a terrible state. She was swept away like a piece of duckweed.
His head struck an extremely sharp broken sword squarely, and he died.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a ghostly figure seized the opportunity to slip into Jiang He's body.
