"Shut up...don't make a sound."
Su Feng stood behind Jiang Dalong and gently pushed him forward.
Uncle Nine and his two disciples had already approached the gate. They couldn't move freely in the narrow ancestral hall, let alone deal with the bronze-armored corpse.
The only option is to ensure your own safety first, and then consider how to proceed with the next step.
They each covered their mouths, held their breath, and dared not make a move. Only when Su Feng pushed Jiang Dalong closer did Uncle Jiu cautiously speak.
"Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, you two take the commander out first. Young Master Su and I will hold off the bronze-armored corpse."
"Need not."
Su Feng's indifferent voice rang out, "Leave this to me, Uncle Jiu, you can go out with them."
"What?" Uncle Nine was stunned.
This is about dealing with the bronze-armored corpse. Even he himself wasn't confident he could subdue it. Is it really possible to leave it to Su Feng alone?
In the darkness, he couldn't see Su Feng's expression, but perhaps it was the same as always—calm and composed, unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, I can handle it all by myself."
Su Feng's voice came again, and Uncle Nine nodded helplessly.
Next, all you need to do is find the right moment to open the door and run out.
Uncle Nine took a deep breath and quickly pushed the door open!
squeak-
As the gate shook, strong light from outside shone in, illuminating the dim interior of the ancestral hall, and thus, the bronze-armored corpse lying diagonally above everyone's heads could be clearly seen!
It was a hideous face with bulging red eyes and endless, yin, corpse energy spewing from its mouth!
"Run!"
Under Uncle Nine's orders, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and Jiang Dalong disregarded everything else and rushed out!
But just then, a scream came from inside the house!
The voice came from Jiang Dalong's men, who hadn't had time to escape!
The two poor souls originally intended to follow the main group, but unfortunately, they relaxed at the crucial last moment and made a noise when they got up, which was noticed by the bronze-armored corpse hanging above their heads.
Before they could react, everything went black as the heavy body of the bronze-armored corpse pressed down on them...
"Young Master Su, then everything is entrusted to you! Please be careful!"
After Uncle Nine left, he turned back to remind Su Feng, then closed the ancestral hall door again to ensure that the bronze-armored corpse wouldn't escape!
"Master! Is it really okay to hand it over to Young Master Su?"
Still shaken, Qiu Shengwencai was worried that something might happen if Su Feng were to deal with the bronze-armored corpse alone, so he hurriedly said...
Uncle Nine gently shook his head. "Young Master Su's strength far exceeds your imagination... even I cannot fully comprehend it."
When dealing with Ren Weiyong, who had turned into an armored corpse, it was all thanks to Su Feng alone.
From that moment on, he knew that Su Feng's strength was growing at an alarming rate! He was probably already at a level he couldn't reach!
Perhaps, what he considered a terrifying and infinitely lethal bronze-armored corpse was insignificant in Su Feng's eyes.
"Dou Chi Ying, you guys stay here and watch! I'm going back to get reinforcements!" Having escaped a close call, Jiang Dalong had no intention of letting it go. He patted his chest and angrily cursed, "Damn it, someone actually dared to set a trap for this great commander! I'll find them and make sure they're brought to justice!"
After saying that, without waiting for Uncle Jiu to stop him, he hurriedly ran down the mountain.
Watching that departing figure, Uncle Nine gave a bitter smile for a long time.
How could he explain that this bronze-armored corpse was beyond the reach of spears and cannons?
……
The soldiers' screams grew weaker and weaker until finally even their breathing stopped.
In the pitch black, Su Feng could sense that the bronze-armored corpse was standing face to face with him two meters ahead.
Silently recite the purification mantra, and with your eyes see divine light shining in the Jade Palace, and with your ears hear the wondrous melody in the Jade Terrace... all fog and miasma will have nowhere to hide.
Then, the horrific state of the two soldiers ahead came into view.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The bronze-armored corpse stood still, holding up half of one of the soldiers' bodies with both hands, and repeatedly opened its mouth to drink blood from the exposed wound.
They tear off the intestines and swallow the internal organs.
Crimson blood splattered all around his body, making the copper plates placed on him shine.
Clap!
After finishing his meal, he casually tossed it aside, then picked up another piece from the ground and began to devour it...
"Are you full?"
Su Feng smiled and spoke.
The sound naturally caught the attention of the bronze-armored corpse, which tilted its head slightly and looked toward the source of the sound with its crimson eyes.
"I don't care who set up the corpse-raising array here, or what their purpose was, but you're unlucky to have run into me."
Su Feng smiled, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
This kind of corpse-nurturing array that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon is exactly what he wants!
The sheer amount of malevolent energy alone was enough to make him drool.
Perfect timing! His previous breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining wasn't enough for him, so perhaps today he can aim for the eighth or ninth level!
"Come on, let me practice on you."
"Roar!--"
The bronze-armored corpse roared, tore apart the remains in its hands, and charged straight at Su Feng!
……
Somewhere, hundreds of miles away from the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.
Three people were performing a ritual to exorcise evil spirits and ward off misfortune for a certain household when they suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts, as if a premonition was about to strike.
"Three masters, is there something amiss?"
A well-dressed elderly man cautiously asked the question.
"No problem, Mr. Zhu, please don't worry. We will soon drive away the little ghost that is disturbing your family's peace."
One of them, with a stern face, quickly twirled the ritual implement in his hand, casting a spell on the house.
Although their hands continued to move, the three of them were already distracted by the commotion coming from afar.
Using the pretext of danger, they asked their client, Mr. Zhu, to temporarily leave the courtyard. The three of them then entered the house and began to talk in hushed tones.
"Did you all sense it?" asked one of the elderly men, who was wearing a Taoist headscarf.
"Yes, just as my senior brother said... it seems someone has discovered the location of the corpse-raising site." The other two were also elderly, their tone anxious and their expressions urgent.
"This is impossible! We've been so discreet, no one has discovered it for decades, how could it be uncovered today?"
"Could it be that Jiang Dalong accidentally discovered the location of the formation when he demolished the ancestral hall?"
"But why would Jiang Dalong demolish the ancestral hall for no reason? That was a divine water-splashing ritual!"
"Junior brothers, please don't get agitated. We don't yet know who did this... But whoever it is, breaking the Corpse Locking Formation means certain death!"
Having raised corpses for so many years, how could they not know the terrifying power they possessed?
Regardless of whether the person did it intentionally or unintentionally, the outcome will not change.
"Let's resolve this matter for Old Zhu first, and then head over after we get the money!"
The three looked at each other and nodded.
Although everyone was quite surprised that the Corpse Locking Formation had been broken, as the saying goes, "the monk may run away, but the temple cannot."
All they need to do is go over and clean up the mess.
……
Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of fighting were incessant inside the ancestral hall, with explosions and blasts raging in every corner.
The copper-armored zombie was indeed more powerful than any zombie Su Feng had ever encountered before!
With its copper skin and iron bones, it is generally immune to damage from magical artifacts and spells. Even a peach wood sword made of high-grade lightning-struck wood can only barely make a small cut on the copper-armored corpse, which is nothing more than a superficial wound to it!
"Roar!"
The bronze-armored corpse roared again, raising its hands to overturn and smash all the coffins placed beside it!
The bones that fell from the coffin were all crushed under his feet. 4.2
It's just a pity about Jiang Dalong's ancestors; they didn't even die peacefully.
"You're still full of energy!" Su Feng used the Seven Star Steps to quickly dodge the copper-armored corpse's attacks time and time again.
He then quickly circled behind the bronze-armored corpse and delivered a powerful punch to its back.
"Bajiquan!"
This punch is powerful enough to split rocks and break wood; if it hits an ordinary person, it can cause their body to explode!
The attack had little effect on the bronze-armored corpse; only the blasted spiritual energy knocked it away, without causing much damage otherwise.
"whispering sound……"
Su Feng pursed his lips helplessly.
It seems that Bajiquan is not very effective either.
He had originally intended to use the bronze-armored corpse to practice the strength of Bajiquan, but it seems he had somewhat underestimated its physical strength.
"In this case……"
Su Feng took a deep breath and, before the bronze-armored corpse could get up from the ground, gathered his spiritual power in his palm.
The next instant, he unleashed a palm strike at the fallen target!
