Chapter 1203
The Scarlet Flame King smirked. "Let's go. I'll bring you there."
"Junior Brother, the place that the Scarlet Flame King mentioned has a certain degree of danger. You should be careful."
Tu Zhixiang said to Chen Yu.
She had been with the Scarlet Flame King before, so she could guess the place the Scarlet Flame King mentioned.
Chen Yu understood the Scarlet Flame King and was used to it.
It wasn't good to go back like this after such a long trip. Since the Scarlet Flame King had found something, he might as well go and take a look.
He didn't have any hope of getting the Sacred Source Pill.
He didn't have any clues at the moment, and experts were gathering in the Dead Soul Desert. Once the Sacred Source Pill appeared, there would be a bloodbath.
A while later.
"We're almost there."
The Scarlet Flame King reminded with a cautious look. It was obvious that there was indeed danger here.
The group followed a dark tunnel and went deep underground.
"Trespassers, die!"
Suddenly, a deep roar came from the tunnel ahead.
A human with only the upper half of his body flew over, emitting a terrifying ghostly aura.
This was the resentment of human experts after they died. Coupled with special terrain or other opportunities, they would turn into ghostly corpses.
However, this ghostly corpse only had a peak three-star cultivation.
Chen Yu waved his hand.
Chi! Chi!
Spatial energy fluctuated in the air, forming two silver spatial blades that pierced into the ghostly corpse's chest, killing it.
As they went deeper, more ghostly corpses appeared, each stronger than the last.
"Courting death!"
A female ghostly corpse with a tattered body roared. A terrifying soul aura burst out from her body, turning into a giant scythe of death. It swept over as if it wanted to take away everyone's soul.
"Five-star King!"
The Scarlet Flame King's heart trembled.
Luckily, he didn't go deeper. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Facing the female ghostly corpse's soul attack, Chen Yu's powerful soul intent turned into a ferocious dragon and charged forward.
Boom!
The female ghostly corpse's soul energy was shattered by Chen Yu, and she fell to the ground, dead.
Five-star Kings couldn't even withstand a single blow from Chen Yu.
"This is too scary. Chen Yu, if you're not confident, let's retreat."
The Crimson Flame King advised.
In fact, he was trying to disassociate himself from Chen Yu. Once Chen Yu agreed, he could not be blamed for any danger that might befall him.
"Let's go."
Chen Yu said simply.
As long as they didn't encounter enemies at the Mysterious Nether realm, there wouldn't be any problems.
Apart from that, Chen Yu's mysterious heart could clearly sense that there was indeed a powerful energy fluctuation underground.
There must be something good down there.
Just as Chen Yu was carefully perceiving …
The mysterious heart actually produced two special senses at the same time. These two senses appeared almost simultaneously, causing Chen Yu to be stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react.
The first feeling came from the mysterious heart's strong desire.
There was a treasure nearby that attracted the mysterious heart.
The second feeling came from the Blood Tribe.
There were vampires nearby!
Chen Yu was now very sensitive to the Blood Clan. Since the other party had appeared near him, there was an eighty percent chance that they were here to deal with him.
He was not worried. This was the territory of the Human Race, and the Dead Soul Desert was filled with experts.
Once they encountered the Blood Tribe, Chen Yu just needed to announce the other party's identity, and the Blood Tribe wouldn't even have time to run.
However, the Blood Tribe's reaction disappeared as soon as it appeared. This meant that the Blood Tribe was very far away from Chen Yu.
Deep underground.
Compared to the other dilapidated buildings, this one was well-preserved, but it was dark inside.
"Damn it, someone else has come."
A hoarse and cold voice rang out.
"I've clearly activated the concealment formation. Why are there still people coming?"
A skinny man walked out from the darkness. His entire body was withered and emitted a faint aura of death. His dark and deep eyes seemed to lead to the abyss of hell, causing people to shudder.
"We will succeed soon. We cannot fail," the skinny man said.
"We can only send some more powerful fellows to kill these people."
...
Chen Yu, the Crimson Flame King, and Ye Luofeng were going deeper.
Suddenly, an explosion came from the left, followed by the sound of rocks falling.
"Who is it?"
A cold voice rang out.
Four figures appeared in front of Chen Yu's group. The leader was a beautiful lady with a cold expression. Her cultivation was at the half-step Mysterious Underworld Realm.
The three young men and women behind her had cultivations between Four-Star and Five-Star.
"Chen Yu?"
The beautiful lady's eyes landed on Chen Yu.
Chen Yu had become famous in the Human Race ever since he had ascended to the first rank of the Sky Martial List.
The beautiful lady recognized Chen Yu at first glance.
Chen Yu was not surprised. What surprised him was that the beautiful lady seemed to have some hostility toward him.
He was sure that he did not recognize the beautiful lady.
"He is Chen Yu? The first rank of the Sky Martial List. "
"I heard that our Frost Temple's genius, Yan Su, encountered him in the Dead Soul Desert and never returned …"
The disciples beside the beautiful lady discussed in low voices.
"Are you guys from the Frost Temple?"
Chen Yu had an impression of the Frost Temple, which was one of the Eight Major Emperor Sects.
Chen Yu also understood the reason for the beautiful lady's hostility.
However, Yan Su's death had nothing to do with him. He might have been buried alive or killed by the Heaven's Legacy Race.
"Chen Yu, tell me the truth. Did you kill Yan Su?"
The beautiful lady questioned.
"His death has nothing to do with me."
Chen Yu answered honestly.
Back in the underground, the Celestial Sect's disciples had formed an alliance with Yan Su and the Frost Temple's group.
"Do you know any clues?" the beautiful lady asked.
"I don't know."
Chen Yu was not related to Yan Su, nor was he related to the beautiful lady. Furthermore, the other party's attitude made Chen Yu unhappy, so he could not be bothered with this matter.
"If I find out that you killed Yan Su, I will seek justice for him even if you are a disciple of the Celestial Sect."
The beautiful woman said coldly. She did not seem to believe Chen Yu's words.
Just as they were talking.
"Wake me up. You will all die!"
A low, angry voice was heard.
Rumble!
The ground shook as an extremely powerful Emperor-level aura pressed down. This narrow space was completely controlled by the enemy, and the surroundings were filled with an indescribable pressure.
"This is... a Mysterious Dark Realm Emperor?"
Tu Zhixiang trembled, and her body bent as if she was about to kneel on the ground.
"Step back."
Chen Yu told Tu Zhixiang to leave for now.
Unexpectedly, the Crimson Flame King also slipped away. Chen Yu shot him a fierce glare, and only then did the Crimson Flame King stay. He couldn't help but curse, "Chen Yu, you brat, don't tell me you're deliberately taking revenge and want this king to die here."
Rumble!
A huge black shadow rushed over. The opponent was wearing decaying black armor and holding a long spear. Its ferocious and violent aura shook the surroundings.
"Emperor-level ghost-corpse."
The beautiful lady frowned.
Her cultivation was at the half-step Mysterious Dark Realm. An enemy of this level was beyond her ability to deal with.
However, it wasn't impossible to deal with this Emperor-level ghost-corpse.
This ghost-corpse had been at the Mysterious Dark Realm when it was alive. After death, it definitely couldn't maintain its original strength.
This ghost-corpse only had about 15% of its strength when it was alive.
"Genius of the Celestial Sect, how is your strength now? Do you have the strength to fight a half-step Mysterious Dark Realm? "
The beautiful lady asked.
Chen Yu had the strength to fight a half-step Mysterious Dark Realm. Adding on the few people on their side, it was enough to deal with this ghost-corpse.
Chen Yu was very surprised. It was too strange that the beautiful lady didn't plan on retreating in the face of such a powerful enemy.
"I will try. If I succeed, we will split the spoils of war and the benefits we encounter in the future 15-95."
Chen Yu took the opportunity to discuss the distribution of the spoils.
"... Okay."
The beautiful lady was dissatisfied, but she still agreed.
Boom!
The armored ghost-corpse's attack suddenly descended, its long spear sweeping out a wave of cold and deadly spear shadows. Everything in front of it was pierced and shattered, and ghostly qi filled the air, wreaking havoc.
Chen Yu, the beautiful lady, and the others all retreated.
However, after dodging the attack, the beautiful lady immediately launched another attack.
Swoosh!
A white sword beam flew out, freezing everything in its path. The sword beam instantly hit the armored ghost-corpse's feet and turned them into ice.
The armored ghost-corpse knocked the sword away with a spear strike and circulated its power to shatter the ice on its feet.
"Quick, attack!"
The beautiful lady shouted.
Chen Yu did not panic. He circulated the White Tiger Sacred Claw and slashed. A dazzling golden-silver light tore through the void and struck the armored ghost-corpse, breaking its armor.
"White Tiger Sacred Claw, Space Profundity …"
The beautiful lady was shocked when she saw this. As expected of a genius of the Celestial Sect.
Chen Yu wasn't the only one attacking. The Ice Frost Temple's disciples, including the Scarlet Flame Sovereign, were also attacking.
The ghost-corpse before them had 15% of the strength of a Sovereign Lord. However, due to its lack of intelligence, its overall combat strength was even lower.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Explosions rang out, and the ground collapsed. However, it didn't affect the experts present.
The Ice Frost Temple's disciples were the main force in the battle. Apart from the beautiful lady, the other three disciples weren't weak. They also cultivated the Ice Dao, which could disrupt, slow down, and reduce agility.
On the other hand, Chen Yu and the Scarlet Flame Sovereign weren't doing their best.
The Scarlet Flame Sovereign was an old fox, but Chen Yu didn't want to expose his true cultivation. Moreover, his' slacking 'performance amazed the Ice Frost Temple's disciples and made them admire him.
Although this lad's strength can't be compared to a half-step Mysterious Underworld expert, he's very close. If Yan Su was still alive, he might have achieved the same.
The beautiful lady thought to herself.
The battle continued.
The armored ghost-corpse was covered in wounds and frost. He was injured, and his strength was weaker than before.
"Pay attention. Give him a fatal blow!"
The beautiful lady commanded.
"Nine Frost Sword!"
She made a sword incantation gesture, and the Xuan Artifact longsword turned into an extremely cold ray of light. It drew nine rays of dazzling cold sword light around the armored ghost-corpse, and the cold energy formed in that instant almost froze the armored ghost-corpse completely.
The last sword pierced into the armored ghost-corpse's heart.
Subsequently, the other people's killing moves arrived one after another.
Chen Yu strengthened his attack slightly, sending a dazzling and sharp slash at the armored zombie's heart.
Boom!
A dull sound reverberated in all directions, and the Emperor Lord aura weakened.
"He should be dead."
The beautiful lady said.
Suddenly.
The Emperor Lord aura seemed to be reignited.
"I won't let you off even if I die!"
The armored ghost-corpse roared furiously. Boundless ghostly black mist burst out of its body and turned into tens of thousands of black iron fists that smashed at everyone.
The ghost-corpse's survivability had exceeded the beautiful lady's expectations, and it launched a crazy counterattack before its death!
It could be said that the armored ghost-corpse was the most dangerous at this moment.
Chen Yu immediately retreated with the Scarlet Flame Sovereign. The beautiful lady and the others also retreated.
However, their previous attacks had hindered the armored ghost-corpse, which made it even more hostile. The counterattack before its death was targeted at them.
"Chen Yu, my life is in your hands," Chen Yu said.
The Scarlet Flame Sovereign shouted.
If he was hit by the armored ghost-corpse's attack, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.
Chen Yu was very calm. With his speed and defense, it was easy for him to deal with the current situation. After all, he had even fought the real Mysterious Underworld Emperor Lord before.
