Chapter 1882

Inside a ravine with raging flames, Gu Chen and his companions were suddenly surrounded.

Frightening Martial Corpses with sinister expressions blocked off the entrances and exits on both sides of the canyon. Due to the corpse horde, the originally hot canyon cooled down a bit.

"What's coming has finally come."

Wu Lie's expression was gloomy. It had already been six days since they'd entered the Ancestral Land. More than half of the time had passed, yet Yan Yang and his men had taken so long to find them.

The Ancestral Land's territory was very large. They'd tried to find the enemy's whereabouts over the past few days in an attempt to take the initiative, but in the end, they hadn't found any traces of the enemy.

It wasn't until today, when they'd stepped into the canyon that they'd suddenly heard ghostly wails and large numbers of Martial Corpses surging out from behind the rocks. Only then did they realize that the enemy had taken a step ahead of them.

Although the enemy had taken the initiative, Wu Lie didn't panic.

They'd long since predicted the enemy's movements. Setting up an ambush in the canyon wouldn't give them much of an advantage.

Frankly speaking, the Ancestral Land's environment was special. As a direct descendant of the Blazing Sun Clan, he was like a fish in water here.

Not to mention that the Martial Corpses surrounding them belonged to the dark side. Their strength had clearly been reduced in the Ancestral Land.

The Martial Corpses wielded their weapons and weren't afraid of death as they charged towards the eleven people in the center of the canyon.

Wu Lie's consecrators were scattered in the outer region, forming a tight defensive line that didn't allow the Martial Corpses to approach Wu Lie.

These Martial Corpses weren't very strong, but they weren't afraid of death. Although they were a bit troublesome, they weren't hard to deal with.

Aside from Wu Lie, Gu Chen and the Clay Bodhisattva were also protected.

This was a strategy that everyone had already discussed. The Chen Clan's cultivators were proficient in the Fixed Body Technique, so they didn't need to be at the front to kill the enemy. Instead, they could use the technique from behind in a safer location.

Gu Chen naturally didn't have any objections to this strategy. Being protected, he would occasionally flick his finger and use the Heaven Winding Silk to restrict the Martial Corpses' movements, making it easier for his companions to take action.

Martial Corpses were inanimate objects. Even if their heads were chopped off, they'd still advance courageously. Only by destroying their limbs or completely killing them could they be considered finished.

This undoubtedly increased the burden on the worshippers. Fortunately, the Heaven Twining Silk restricted the movements of many of the Martial Corpses. Most of the time, the worshippers felt like they were attacking immobile targets. They were much more relaxed and felt that their strategy was wise.

There was an endless stream of martial zombies, but they did not pose much of a threat. Everyone's attention was always on their surroundings, keeping an eye out for the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's troops that could appear at any time.

Gu Chen's mind was also active. After entering the Ancestor's Land for so many days, he had been thinking about how to fight.

He wouldn't be able to attack Mourning Yan freely while Ming Shou was present. So, he had to think of a way to divert Ming Shou away or just kill him first.

It was not realistic to send Ming Shou away. Everyone had a clear goal in the ancestral land, and it was difficult to find an excuse to make him leave Mourning Yan.

In that case, the only way left was to kill the other party.

However, this was not an easy task. He could not use the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body in front of Ming Shou. He could not even convert the secret technique energy to use dao techniques of various elements.

Fang Yuan had seized his Divine Dao Origin back then and was very clear about his techniques. As long as he used a dao technique that he was familiar with, he could not guarantee that Ming Shou would not see through it. After all, Ming Shou was extremely sharp.

Gu Chen thought about it and realized that the only thing he could use was the Heaven Twining Silk.

He had only cultivated the Soft Twining Silk mystic technique after coming to the Dao World. Fang Yuan had never seen these two mystic techniques before and could not associate them with him.

After having a breakthrough in the Thousand Twining Silk mystic technique, Gu Chen could now release up to 65 Heaven Twining Silk at the same time. These 65 Heaven Twining Silk were flexible and changeable. Coupled with the combination, their power increased greatly.

However, it was still very difficult to kill Ming Shou immediately by relying on the mystic technique alone.

First of all, Ming Shou wasn't that easy to kill. Gu Chen had killed him once, so he knew that Ming Shou had the ability to reconstruct his body. Unless Gu Chen extracted the blue stone in his head, Ming Shou wouldn't die.

Second, he had Sang Yan by his side. Sang Yan was now a Seven-Fold Realm expert and was completely different from when he had been in the Chaos Sea.

The Heaven Twining Silk was good at binding the enemy. In a situation where he could not use other powerful killer moves, it would be very difficult to kill Ming Shou.

Gu Chen had not been able to think of a good idea for the past few days. Today, his target had come knocking on his door.

There was no time left for him to plan. The only thing he could do now was to wait for the right opportunity.

The battlefield was ever-changing. Perhaps he could find a chance to kill Ming Shou in one blow!

"Haha, I finally found you."

A huge dark cloud suddenly covered the sky above the canyon, and a cold laugh came from above.

Everyone's eyes turned cold as they looked up.

A huge Corpse Kun melted out of the void. As it swayed its tail gently, a sinister wind blew. Many of the burning flames on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon were extinguished.

Sang Yan, Ming Shou, the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, and the others were on top of the Corpse Kun's head. The leader, Sang Yan, looked down with a sinister smile.

Wu Lie's expression immediately changed when he saw the Corpse Kun. They had no idea about such a huge and ferocious flying mount.

With the Corpse Kun around, Yan Yang's group could come and go as they pleased. It would be very difficult for them to chase after them!

Gu Chen frowned when he saw the Corpse Kun. He had actually seen this dead creature the night the Luo Sect was destroyed. If Ming Shou stayed on the Corpse Kun, it would be impossible for Gu Chen to find a chance to kill him in one blow!

"Chen, this genius is here to kill you!"

Sang Yan's gaze quickly locked onto Gu Chen. He raised his right hand and a huge grey aura spread out from his palm.

* Boom! *

The grey aura contained destructive power. It roared as it charged towards Gu Chen's group!

Seeing this, the Clay Bodhisattva waved his sleeves. Dozens of explosive clay balls flew into the sky and collided with the grey aura.

In the Blazing Sun Clan's ancestral land, his ability to transform into a swamp wasn't very useful. Fortunately, his earth technique was extremely profound, and he still had the explosive clay.

The explosive clay would explode with a single touch. In the ancestral land, it was even more explosive. He was confident that he could block the other party's attack.

Sizzle. Sizzle.

Unexpectedly, the explosive clay balls didn't explode as expected when they landed on the grey aura. Instead, they were rapidly corroded!

The grey aura seemed to have the power to melt everything. Even a small dao technique would be at a disadvantage in front of it!

"Not good!"

The explosive clay balls had no effect at all. The Clay Bodhisattva's expression changed greatly. Beside him, Wu Lie's face also turned pale.

Elder Chen was his greatest support. But now, he couldn't even block a single attack from General Star Mourning Yan?

At this critical moment, Gu Chen's eyes flashed. Ten strands of Heaven Twining Silk shot out from his body, instantly forming a huge net that enveloped the group!

In an instant, the grey aura's momentum was blocked!
