Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 570: Chapter 547: Joining Forces

Lou Yi looked at his right hand.

The middle ulna had already cracked, exposing the red and white flesh, bloodied.

This avatar, although only at the early stage of Martial Saint cultivation.

But when fully unleashed, his strength can easily break a million pounds, and his flesh approaches the hardness of a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Yet he is still injured like this, showing the opponent’s strength is extremely astonishing.

Instinctively, he threw a detection skill at the shadow that just attacked the Great Elder.

[Name: ?Ghost Shadow Wolf?]

[Age: 368]

[Realm: High-tier Demon General]

[Talent: Stealth]

[Attribute: Yin Element]

’Shadow Demon Wolf?’

’High-tier Demon General is a vast category, it is very likely close to or has reached the level of bloodline perfection.’

The cultivators on the city wall also recognized the identity of the shadow that tried to sneak attack the Great Elder, each exclaiming in surprise.

“This is also a wolf demon!”

“Judging by its appearance, it should be one of the major wolf tribes of Cyan Wolf Ridge, the Ghost Shadow Wolf…”

“The demon clan is too despicable, three to besiege our Great Elder alone!”

The shadow that attempted to sneak attack the Great Elder, after being repelled by Lou Yi’s avatar, revealed its appearance.

Similar to the Howl Moon Heavenly Wolf, it’s a monster with the head of a wolf and the body of a human.

It’s about eight feet tall, skinny, no flesh on its body, and its width is only half that of the Howl Moon Heavenly Wolf.

Its whole body hair, four claws, and even a pair of lifeless eyes are inconspicuous black and gray, looking like a lifeless shadow standing there.

Yet the more it is like this, the more it makes everyone’s spine shiver.

This is a born assassin!

The Ghost Shadow Wolf looked at Lou Yi’s avatar, its eyes suddenly shot out cold light.

“Are you the Red Hero?”

Lou Yi did not reply but looked to the other two sides.

The Howl Moon Heavenly Wolf and the green-robed cultivator from Yellow Springs Sect were already rapidly closing in on him.

“Don’t let him escape!” the green-robed cultivator’s vicious voice sounded, “This person is extremely skilled in stealth, as cunning as a rat.

If we don’t catch him this time, it will be difficult to catch him next time.”

“He must die today!” Young Wolf Lord Aklerchan sneered, “Only by killing him can we wash away the shame of our Howl Moon Heavenly Wolf clan!”

“Skilled in stealth? I want to see how you compare to me?” the Ghost Shadow Wolf said in a menacing tone.

In the field.

The Howl Moon Heavenly Wolf charged towards Lou Yi like lightning, leaving a long-lasting white mark wherever it went, as if branding the void, showing its astonishing speed.

As for the Ghost Shadow Wolf of the wolf clan, its style was vastly different.

Its body seemed to transform into an inconspicuous gray smoke, silently stealthily moving through the air, without any sound, slightly inattentive it would be overlooked.

And the green-robed male cultivator from Yellow Springs Sect, with abundant spiritual essence, raised his hand to unleash more than a dozen thirty-meter-long magic green snakes, viciously pouncing at Lou Yi.

Seeing the Red Hero being heavily surrounded by the three masters, the people on the city wall showed expressions of worry.

Lou Yi also smiled bitterly in his heart.

Is it necessary to mobilize such a large battle array for a mere avatar?

Not even mentioning the avatar.

Even if the true body came and faced three bloodline perfection, extreme foundation establishment level opponents, it would be troublesome, not necessarily having much assurance.

Just when Lou Yi decided to abandon this avatar and try to give one of the enemies a hard time.

“Quick, return!”

A large, broken, barely shaped gray tortoise shell flew out from within the city, blocking in front of Lou Yi.

It was Elder Chen who acted again, sacrificing his nearly damaged tortoise shell spiritual artifact.

’Boom!’

The tortoise shell blocked the green-robed man’s magic and the claw of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, finally reaching its limit, and with a “bang”, it completely shattered!

And Lou Yi seized this opportunity.

“Body into Sword!”

He transformed completely into a streak of rainbow light, shooting rapidly towards the city.

As he ran, he felt a sinister aura approaching from the side, but the speed of the rainbow light was astonishing, only tainting him slightly.

Landing on the city tower, entering the City Defense Array, Lou Yi finally had a moment to touch his side.

He found that the flesh there had already been sliced open with a large gash, the wound festering and stinking, presumably the handiwork of the Underworld Shadow Wolf.

If he had hesitated for a moment earlier, he would have been left behind.

Without thinking, Lou Yi formed his palms into a knife, red glow flashing at the edge, and sliced away all the rotting flesh, throwing it below the city tower, where it corroded the earth with a “hissing” noise.

“Ah, my old companion, who accompanied me for so many years, has still gone before me.” Elder Chen touched the hard-to-retrieve remains of the shattered tortoise shell, only the size of a palm, showing a look of sadness.

“Thank you for your assistance, Elder.” Lou Yi, transformed into Red Hero and wearing an ordinary face, expressed his gratitude.

“Ah, there’s no need to say that. Without you, the Great Elder would have had difficulty returning safely.” Elder Chen waved his hand.

He glanced at the Great Elder sitting cross-legged on the ground ahead, eyes closed, breath gradually stabilizing, and felt relieved.

Elder Chen turned his head and noticed Red Hero staring at the remains of the gray tortoise shell in his hand and couldn’t help but ask, “You seem very interested in this thing?”

“Is this tortoise shell over a thousand years old?”

“It’s at least three or four thousand years old, otherwise it wouldn’t have been refined into a top-grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact.” Elder Chen nodded.

“Is Elder Chen willing to part with it? Junior is willing to exchange it for other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, you won’t lose out.”

“It’s no use anymore, I’ll give it to you.” Elder Chen casually tossed it, and the remains of the tortoise shell landed steadily in Lou Yi’s hand.

“Thank you for your generosity, Elder Chen!” Lou Yi accepted the still glowing remains of the tortoise shell.

Touching it with his hand, he could feel a faint warmth, delighting his heart.

The key item needed for his own divination talent advancement was thus easily acquired!

He turned his gaze to the Great Elder, observing that his aura was becoming increasingly calm, indicating that the injury was completely under control.

The Great Elder opened his eyes, which filled with cold light, and said coolly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve made a move, I’ve become somewhat rusty.”

The threat outside the city had not been eliminated; three great experts were watching like predators, ready to endanger the safety of everyone in Huai City at any moment.

As soon as the Great Elder stabilized his injury, he was ready to rush out and fight the enemies, causing the crowd to look worried.

Lou Yi immediately suggested, “If we defend with all our strength, and I assist alongside you, we can keep them at bay.”

The Great Elder thought for a moment, nodding, “If I were unharmed, defeating them would be easy, but now it’s all I can do.”

As for the others on the city tower, they couldn’t be of help; even Jin Tingfeng would be severely wounded by the aftermath of the battle.

They could only watch as Red Hero and the Great Elder charged out.

Learning from previous lessons, this time the Great Elder focused on defense and obstruction.

His Yin Light Shield, mastered to the level of Perfection, sometimes spread rapidly like a celestial curtain, other times delicate and small like an umbrella.

The Yin Light Shield appeared deep gray and tangible, engraved with numerous complex Dao patterns, exuding an indestructible aura.

Each time, it perfectly blocked the attacks of the Wolf Demons and Yellow Springs Sect experts, preventing them from succeeding easily.

On the Great Elder’s left side was a Lifebound Corpse capable of flying mid-air, half silver, half gold, with astonishing physical strength, able to briefly block the Wolf Demon’s close-ranged fierce assault.

On the Great Elder’s right side, Lou Yi’s clone stayed close.

He would sometimes utilize martial arts called Storm Surge, turning into waves of transparent red essence that permeated the air, preventing the Underworld Shadow Wolf from approaching.

Lou Yi’s clone, regarding cultivation, only had the early stage of a Martial Saint’s level and lacked various innate blessings, not being a match for the Wolf Demon and Yellow Springs’ green-robed people.

But he only needed to avoid being killed in one or two moves, ensuring the safety near the Great Elder.

Once he could withstand one or two breaths, the Great Elder swiftly supported him, easing the pressure.

In the following hours.

The Human Race formed a strategy with the Great Elder at its core, assisted by the Lifebound Corpse and Lou Yi’s clone, achieving a defensive and obstructive, conservative strategy with offense as secondary.

And achieved remarkable results.

Making the Young Wolf Lord of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, the insidious Underworld Shadow Wolf, and the green-robed people of the Yellow Springs Sect return in failure repeatedly.

Seeing that it was difficult to overcome their opponents today, the Demon Clan finally opted to retreat.

When the Great Elder and Lou Yi returned to the city tower, the crowd erupted in cheers.
