The corpse king is arrogant and hits a wall at the beginning

“What powerful Corpse Puppets!”

The people of Chun Nong Valley were greatly alarmed at the sight.

Then, an old figure emerged from the inverted dense forest.

He looked at the Corpse Puppet formation, three layers deep both inside and out, with a look of shock.

Although he was from Chun Nong Valley, he had no idea what the origin of the Corpse Puppets before him was.

He only knew they belonged to the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect.

This was because, three hundred years ago, even though he had participated in that great battle,

In the end, no one had a decisive battle with the Corpse King.

Naturally, he had never seen these gold, silver, and bronze zombie corpse puppets.

At this moment, the Elder of Chun Nong Valley clearly believed that the person who had arrived must also be one of the current Elders of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect.

… …

“I didn’t expect the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect to be so arrogant as to cause trouble within the area under my jurisdiction. However, this can also be considered aMerit delivered right to my doorstep, so I’ll gladly accept it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the inverted great tree grew wildly.

It transformed into a tree cocoon and enveloped the Corpse Puppet formation.

At the same time, the Elder formed a hand seal and let out a low cry: “Azure Wood Life—Thunder-Struck Wood!”

As his voice fell,

The ground actually transformed into rolling dark clouds, carrying lightning and surging madly towards the giant tree cocoon.

Boom!

Seeing this scene,

The Corpse King’s face instantly changed: “Run!”

Thunder breaks all evil!

The Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect feared Thunder Cultivators the most.

“No, buddy, you run by yourself; your former Physical Body is here!”

Shen Fan was anxious and helpless; this was purely dragging him down to die together!

“Weren’t you very powerful before? My essence blood activated your Physical Body; couldn’t you just possess it and rampage around?”

“The Physical Body has been dormant for three hundred years, and all its functions haven’t recovered. I can’t control it!”

The Corpse King sighed helplessly.

“Kid!”

The Corpse King’s tone suddenly became sorrowful.

“You obtained my Opportunity, so you can be considered my successor. I’ll use my Divine Soul to block him for a moment; you take the chance to escape!”

“Are you that kind-hearted?”

Corpse King: “…”

Boom!

The thunder from the ground rumbled like drums, condensing even more intensely.

“Now! Run!”

The Corpse King ignored whether Shen Fan believed him or not.

Then, his entire Divine Soul left his body and rushed out.

Shen Fan instantly regained control of his body.

“No, you’re really doing this!”

Seeing that the Corpse King was actually going to create an Opportunity for him to escape,

Shen Fan didn't hesitate, put away the surrounding zombie corpse puppets, and turned to run.

But with a quick glance,

He saw one of the Copper Armor Corpse Puppets remaining motionless.

The Corpse King had silently entered it, becoming as still as a dead body.

Shen Fan had no doubts.

He turned and ran.

Boom!

Lightning bolts as thick as buckets swept over, striking heavily upon the gigantic tree cocoon.

They transformed into streams of electricity that spread throughout the entire body.

Then, they wove into a large net, trapping Shen Fan and the Corpse King within it.

Boom!

However, at this moment, the Copper Armor Corpse Puppet possessed by the Corpse King suddenly opened its eyes.

Then, it raised its right hand and struck down at the enveloping electric net and tree cocoon.

Boom!!

A huge opening appeared before their eyes.

The Corpse King roared, “Now!”

Seeing this, Shen Fan mounted the Flame Dragon Flame Shuttle and shot out as a streak of fire.

The Corpse King followed closely behind.

After they got out, the two immediately split up and prepared to escape.

“Holy crap!”

The next moment, Shen Fan was instantly shocked.

“You’re messing with me, making me attract the firepower?”

Earlier, when the Corpse King possessed him, the Elder of Chun Nong Valley had kept his attention on Shen Fan.

Now, the Corpse King possessed another Corpse Puppet and escaped.

Shen Fan, however, faced the full wrath of the Chun Nong Valley Elder.

“I shouldn’t have trusted you!”

Seeing this, Shen Fan immediately changed direction and chased after the Corpse King.

“Don’t you dare chase me! Run that way!”

The Corpse King saw his plan exposed and was on the verge of tears.

“If we’re going to die, we die together!”

Boom!

Heavenly thunder exploded in front of the two, directly blocking their path.

The tree cocoon opened up, and tendrils of vines, like spiritual snakes, once again coiled around them.

“Azure Wood Life—Thousand Leaf Bodhi Blade!”

Following a low cry from the sky,

The leaves from the great tree growing inverted in the sky actually drifted down.

Each leaf, as it fell through the air, carried an invisible sharpness, even cutting through the space itself.

With such a large-scale attack, Shen Fan and the Corpse King were once again surrounded.

“Quick! Let me in!”

The Corpse King was greatly alarmed, even abandoning the Corpse Puppet to possess Shen Fan again.

And this time, he even voluntarily entered Shen Fan’s Divine Soul Palace.

Shen Fan stood numbly in place, watching countless falling leaves descend upon him.

“Brother! I’m not running anymore, and I won’t run in the future either. I’ll just stay inside your body!”

The Corpse King spoke comfortably, as if he had returned to his own doghouse.

“Screw you! You think you can come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?”

Shen Fan was on the verge of tears, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do.

“Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, skilled in Divine Soul concealment. Today, meeting this old man, your Divine Soul will be annihilated!”

A majestic voice came from the heavens.

“Azure Wood Life—Thunder-Struck Wood!”

Boom!

Heavenly thunder swept over once more.

Streaks of electricity continuously leaped across the falling leaves in mid-air.

Then, they converged into a massive lightning bolt and struck down at Shen Fan.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fan had already closed his eyes in despair.

Not an opponent!

Definitely not an opponent, only waiting to die!

At present, he could only place all his hope in the Blood Locust Divine Skill.

Hoping that even if he was reduced to ashes, there would still be hope for his Physical Body to reassemble.

Of course, there was also the option of storing everything in the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

That way, nothing would be lost.

Even the Copper Armor Corpse Puppet that the Corpse King had last possessed was taken inside.

But Shen Fan resigned himself to fate, while someone else did not.

“Am I really going to perish here?”

The Corpse King let out an unwilling roar upon seeing this scene.

The Thousand Leaf Bodhi Blade was a physical attack, so he could hide inside Shen Fan’s body.

But this Thunder-Struck Wood contained a Divine Soul attack, with nowhere to hide.

Since there was nowhere to hide, he could only resist forcefully.

Boom!

The white light of the lightning engulfed Shen Fan.

Shen Fan lost consciousness without feeling even a trace of pain.

Shen Fan didn't know what the Corpse King did in the end.

… …

… …

And when Shen Fan woke up,

He found himself in a thatched hut.

The room had a pungent smell of boiling herbs.

Looking around, a patched quilt covered him, and it seemed to be a farmer’s home.

Just then, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen walked in through the doorway.

“You’re awake?” she said faintly upon seeing Shen Fan open his eyes.

“This is… where?”

Shen Fan’s memory was blurry; he only remembered being annihilated by a flash of lightning, and then he couldn’t recall anything else.

“This is Yandang City. You’re a soldier who escaped from the front lines, aren’t you?”

The girl’s tone towards Shen Fan was very cold, showing no warmth at all.

“I… I don’t remember either!” Shen Fan said blankly.

“They all say you’re a soldier who escaped from the front lines and feel disgraced, so they don’t want to bother with you. And if the army finds out, you’ll be executed. But my husband just left, and I want to ask you about the situation on the front lines. Is it really as brutal as they say?”

“I really forgot!” Shen Fan suddenly had a splitting headache.

Seeing this, the girl no longer pressed him, bringing over the boiled herbal soup: “Drink it!”

“Thank you!” Shen Fan took the bowl with a chipped rim and drank it all in one gulp.

The girl said nothing and left silently.

Shen Fan didn’t press further but instead inspected his own condition.

Fortunately!

Everything was in the treasure gathering cosmos bowl, and his body was relatively intact, just suffering from internal injuries.

“Where’s the Corpse King?”

Shen Fan immediately became nervous, then checked his Divine Soul Palace.

He saw a transparent mass of Divine Soul power suspended within the Divine Soul Palace.

“This is… the Corpse King’s Divine Soul power? How can it be so clear? So pure?”
