Caught completely off guard, everyone fell along with the numerous rocks.
Ling Shixiong and the other two hurriedly cast spells in mid-air, using all their strength to slow their descent and avoid falling to their deaths.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan and the ancient corpse king were still engaged in fierce battle in mid-air.
One punch after another, relentlessly striking each other.
Like two sworn enemies, determined to see the other perish.
Suddenly, Su Yuan's six powerful arms wrapped around the ancient corpse king's arms like tentacles.
Simultaneously, a small black hole, formed by the Blood Refinement Technique, quietly appeared in his palms.
The blood煞 qi within the ancient corpse king's body was continuously sucked out by the powerful gravitational force.
The ancient corpse king struggled desperately, unleashing all his strength, directly blowing apart two of Su Yuan's arms.
As the arms exploded, blood qi reconstructed new ones.
The small black holes formed by the Blood Refinement Technique didn't disappear because of the arm's explosion.
The ancient corpse king was surrounded by countless small black holes filled with suction.
The ancient corpse king wanted to stop this from happening, but he found himself helpless.
Because during the battle, Su Yuan had forcefully absorbed his blood煞 qi more than once.
After breaking through to the mid and late stages of Body Refinement.
The Blood Refinement Technique had been upgraded twice and was now so powerful that it could ignore enemy resistance and forcibly absorb blood from their bodies, a truly monstrous technique.
The ancient corpse king was shocked: "You've been fighting me all this time, just to achieve this? To directly absorb all the blood煞 qi from my body? To make my corpse lose its vitality?!"
Su Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile: "That's right. A blood煞 corpse dies when it loses its blood煞 qi. Even if you're at the Golden Core stage and have developed intelligence, you're still a blood煞 corpse."
The ancient corpse king was stunned for a moment, then laughed without fear: "Kid, you do know a lot about blood煞 corpses. Unfortunately, you came here!"
They crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The vengeful spirits of the ancient battlefield were filled with hostility towards these intruding living beings.
Like a raging tide, they rushed towards the group, one after another.
Ling Shixiong and the other two, already depleted of their spiritual energy, were instantly surrounded by the overwhelming number of vengeful spirits.
Coupled with the blood煞 qi permeating this place, they struggled desperately but were ultimately overwhelmed and fainted.
Seeing that Ling Shixiong and the others were no longer resisting, the vengeful spirits, as if sensing an opportunity, flocked to their bodies, trying to seize them.
On Su Yuan's side, the vengeful spirits also surrounded him.
In contrast, not a single vengeful spirit dared to approach the ancient corpse king.
Su Yuan, enduring the vengeful spirits' bites, focused all his energy on activating the Blood Refinement Technique, determined to drain the ancient corpse king's blood煞 qi.
The ancient corpse king laughed arrogantly: "Kid, you won't be able to hold on much longer. Let's see who dies first, you from the vengeful spirits or me from your absorption."
Su Yuan sneered: "Alright, then let's see who wins!"
"Ten Thousand Soul Banner! Come forth!"
A banner appeared out of thin air, as if a messenger from the underworld.
Ghostly chains, burning with green ghost fire, flew out from the banner, like serpents, enveloping all the surrounding vengeful spirits.
In a short time, all the vengeful spirits were sucked into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Seeing this, the other vengeful spirits were afraid and dared not approach anymore.
The ancient corpse king couldn't sit still anymore. His eyes widened in disbelief: "Damn it, Ten Thousand Soul Banner! There's actually such a divine artifact!"
Su Yuan smiled: "I was waiting for those few to lose consciousness, or what do you think I was waiting for?"
"How about it? Still want to compare?"
The ancient corpse king felt his body gradually stiffening due to the continuous loss of blood煞 qi.
Now, Su Yuan was evenly matched with him in strength, and he was constantly weakening the ancient corpse king by absorbing his blood煞 qi.
The vengeful spirit army, which he thought could turn the tide of battle, was now perfectly suppressed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
If he didn't do something, he would be truly killed by a Body Refinement cultivator.
The ancient corpse king noticed the broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner nearby and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He said, "Kid, your Ten Thousand Soul Banner is merely a broken object, only capable of binding souls. Refining souls or controlling souls, you can't do that, can you?"
"Unexpectedly, a mere blood煞 corpse would have such knowledge. Your intelligence is indeed not low."
Su Yuan didn't expect the ancient corpse king to possess such knowledge.
After all, the blood煞 qi was a mixture of resentment, killing intent, and unwillingness from countless fallen warriors.
Even if the blood煞 corpse had developed intelligence, it should only be interested in wanton slaughter.
It shouldn't have such insight.
The ancient corpse king chuckled, "Kid, thank you for giving me this key information. If you hadn't told me, I might not have dared to actively use this soul-seizure technique!"
"Soul-seizure!"
"You're not a blood煞 corpse!"
Su Yuan was startled, his face filled with fear.
"Of course! When did I ever tell you that I was formed from煞 qi?"
"Kid, your body, your treasures! From now on, they're mine!"
With that, the ancient corpse king emitted a powerful evil aura.
A black mist surged out from his body, like a ferocious viper, swiftly lunging towards Su Yuan.
Su Yuan's heart sank, instantly aware of the impending danger.
The next second, a glowing bead appeared in front of him.
It was the Glassy Pure Heart Bead he got from the Charming Spirit Fairy, a bead that could calm the mind and protect the soul.
Centered on the bead, a barrier instantly formed, enveloping Su Yuan.
The black mist collided with the protective barrier, making a sizzling sound.
"Damn it! Break for me!"
The ancient corpse king's soul body kept increasing its power, trying to break through the bead's defense.
But the bead remained unmoved, as if an impenetrable fortress.
Seeing that he couldn't break through, the ancient corpse king was frantic.
Su Yuan controlled the binding chains of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and wrapped them around the ancient corpse king's soul.
Seeing this, the ancient corpse king quickly dodged and flew towards his body.
Su Yuan waved his hand and shouted, "System! Collect it!"
Before the ancient corpse king's soul could reach his body, the blood煞 corpse king's body was directly collected into the system backpack.
The ancient corpse king's soul was furious and shouted, "You little rascal! How many more tricks do you have up your sleeve?! You first blocked my unexpected punch. Then you erupted with power comparable to mine. Next, you have a weird technique that can directly absorb blood煞 qi without being affected by it. Now, you have the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, a treasure that can protect the soul, and a bizarre method that can take away my body! How many more do you have?"
Su Yuan grinned, "Come into my banner and think about it slowly!"
With that, several binding chains swarmed forward.
No matter how agile the ancient corpse king's soul was, it couldn't escape the relentless pursuit of the binding chains.
Finally, it was bound by the chains and dragged into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Seeing that he had dealt with the ancient corpse king, Su Yuan collapsed onto the ground.
At the same time, he解除ed the Blood Demon True Body.
His chest was heaving, the fear of almost being soul-seized lingering in his heart.
After a long time, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I won in the end!"
His laughter echoed through the ancient battlefield, as if proclaiming his victory to the world.
But at that moment, everything around them was trembling.
Soon, a ray of sunlight fell from the sky.
Su Yuan knew that reinforcements had arrived.
Su Yuan quickly put the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Phoenix Spirit Flowing Light Armor, and Glassy Pure Heart Bead into the system backpack.
These were things that couldn't be seen by others.
He also took out the blood煞 corpse king's body.
After a while, the entire mountain above was moved away, completely illuminating the dark cave.
Two elders flew down from above.
Su Yuan recognized one of them.
It was Elder Zheng, the one who had assigned him the task.
Elder Zheng saw that only Su Yuan was conscious in the ancient battlefield, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He rushed to Su Yuan's side and asked anxiously, "Su Yuan, are you alright?"
Su Yuan shook his head, "I'm fine, I didn't suffer any serious injuries."
Elder Zheng asked, "What about the Golden Core stage ancient corpse king?"
Su Yuan pointed to the motionless corpse of the ancient corpse king in front of him.
