Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1050: Chapter 385: The Insect Demon Decides the Outcome!

And then there’s Yin Bone Master. His body is half-crippled, and he can only attack from afar using the nine chains behind him.

The effect is minimal.

Ji Yuan had no idea how long they had been fighting; he only knew that the Poisonous Corpse King was already wounded, with several injuries across its body.

In contrast, the cultivators who were besieging it…

Fang Zhong from Celestial Killer Mountain had a layer of green mist covering his face, as if poisoned by this Corpse King’s toxins.

“Xun Tianji isn’t here, maybe I really have a chance to pick up the leftovers.”

Ji Yuan watched this scene, having already devised a magic technique in his mind.

When the Poisonous Corpse King is on the verge of death, he would use Pursuing Lightning Instant to approach and then unleash Purple Sky Divine Thunder to kill it in one blow.

Moreover, after killing it, he would leave immediately without the slightest delay.

…No wonder Ji Yuan had the idea of taking the risk; aside from qualifying to enter the Inner Realm early, the 1000 contribution points are more than enough to tempt him into risking the danger.

With this plan in mind, Ji Yuan quietly moved closer once more.

Anyway, with the Conical Hat concealing him, he wasn’t worried about being detected.

As long as he wasn’t within dozens to hundreds of meters, there was no need to worry.

He used his Divine Sense to observe the battle on the field.

Indeed, Fang Zhong was injured; it hadn’t been long before he couldn’t hold on and withdrew for healing and detoxification.

Not long after, another unknown Peak Core Formation cultivator arrived.

Looked like this doddering old man, as soon as he arrived, joined the fray.

Brandishing his lifebound magical treasure that resembled a whip, his fighting style was extremely fierce.

About half an hour later, the healed Fang Zhong rejoined the battle as well.

By this point.

The Poisonous Corpse King, besieged for so long, even its energy had become somewhat feeble.

Ji Yuan thought that if he could see a health bar, then the Poisonous Corpse King now… probably only half health was remaining.

…At this rate, he wondered whose hands the Corpse King would finally fall into.

Ji Yuan was pondering this when the Ghost Envoy’s voice rang out above his Sea of Consciousness.

“The second and third Corpse Kings have appeared, totaling three in all. Let’s see who among you succeeds, hehehe.”

The Ghost Envoy seemed unable to suppress the joy in its heart, making its voice less cold and eventually laughing out loud.

Ji Yuan promptly took out his Identity Jade Token.

Soon, the map revealed two new red dots, forming a “pin” shape together with the current red dot.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

“With the appearance of three Corpse Kings, the remaining cultivators who haven’t arrived yet have two more choices, making it less likely they’d come here… Mainly, Xun Tianji not coming is good.”

Ji Yuan had witnessed him in action last time.

Before he advanced to Late-stage Core Formation, Ji Yuan didn’t want to clash head-on with him.

But just then, a Peak Core Formation cultivator entered Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense range, moving incredibly fast.

Just moments ago, he was twenty miles away, but in a blink, he had already closed in on the Poisonous Corpse King.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Yuan instantly heightened his vigilance.

Because this person was from the Black and White Divine Hall.

His name — Xiao Xuan!

“He actually came too!”

Upon seeing him, Ji Yuan felt that his odds of a successful sneak attack dropped by one or two points.

No choice; Xun Tianji is strong, but Xiao Xuan is equally formidable!

Among Core Formation cultivators of the Black and White Divine Hall, Xiao Xuan is unquestionably the top, which speaks volumes about his extraordinary abilities.

Now he too was appearing here.

Ji Yuan thought of this and instinctively looked up, feeling that perhaps the Ghost Envoy was up to mischief again?

Could it be trying to ensure he doesn’t succeed at an easy sneak attack?

…Given its spitefulness, this wasn’t impossible.

In the field, Xiao Xuan boldly joined the fray upon arrival.

And with arrogance, he declared immediately, “I, Xiao Xuan, want this Poisonous Corpse King. Assist me, and there will be ample reward later!”

His arrogant words caused the expressions of the people present to change immediately.

Whether it was Fang Zhong, Yan Zhirou, Ma Gui or Yin Bone Master—who was not a proud and lofty Peak Core Formation cultivator?

Who among them didn’t have a Nascent Soul Monster backing them?

Finally, it was Yan Zhirou from Celestial Killer Mountain who coolly sneered and said, “Let’s not speak of seniority, but Daoist Xiao coming here and wanting to snatch this opportunity so easily seems a bit too arrogant, doesn’t it?”

Xiao Xuan laughed aloud while attacking, “What if I am arrogant? Yan Zhirou, if you disagree, we can have a fight later. Let’s decide victory, as well as life and death!”

Since Celestial Killer Mountain already spoke up, Ma Gui, as Bone Nightmare Sect’s representative, felt obligated not to falter in his prestige. Thus, he wielded his magic marrow drill while speaking sinisterly in Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s style:

“Daoist Xiao obviously doesn’t regard us at all.”

“Others I might still consider,” Xiao Xuan sneered, “But you, Ma Gui, should weigh yourself before boasting; just recently reaching the Peak Core Formation, you really think you are someone important? Were it not for Brother Yin Gu being injured now, you wouldn’t even be able to beat him, you waste!

“You!”

Ma Gui was enraged.

Yet Yin Bone Master behind him blandly remarked, “The esteemed top Core Formation cultivator of the Black and White Divine Hall, such mean provocations should be sparingly used by Daoist Xiao, lest it taint your own fame.”
