Chapter 2531: 2531
Chapter 2531: The Living Are Not as Obedient as the Dead
The Heavenly Venerates from the Qingyun Sect had numerous treasures and were much harder to kill compared to those rogue Heavenly Venerates.
Their combat power often surpassed that of some rogue Heavenly Venerates of the same level.
If Lin Moyu had used the Skeleton King for targeted kills, he would have wiped them out long ago.
But relying solely on the first corps commander for a siege required some effort.
After all, the Dragon Cavalry Corps was more suited for large-scale group battles. Dealing with just ten Heavenly Venerates felt like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
The first corps commander once again deployed the Bone Battle Formation, this time even stronger than before.
"Bone Star Sea!"
The first corps commander raised his battle knife and unleashed the Bone Star Sea.
In an instant, the entire world was enveloped by the Bone Law, which evolved into countless weapons, slashing towards Peng Yun and the others.
Peng Yun and the others resisted, but their bodies still trembled.
Peng Yun shouted, "This law attacks the soul!"
A mid-level Heavenly Venerate took out a triangular battle flag, "Protect me!"
Several Heavenly Venerates immediately surrounded him, and he poured all his power into the battle flag.
His aura rapidly declined, and within a short time, more than half of his mid-level Heavenly Venerate power was consumed.
The triangular battle flag, however, grew immensely large in the wind.
As the battle flag fluttered, a fierce wind arose, making it difficult for the Dragon Cavalry to stand firm.
The Heavenly Venerate, having exhausted his power, took out several pills and swallowed them, recovering a bit.
The battle flag enveloped the area, creating ripples of invisible force, preventing the Dragon Cavalry Corps from approaching.
"Quite a treasure!" Lin Moyu looked at the battle flag, sensing it was no ordinary item.
The first corps commander continuously launched fierce attacks on the battle flag, but its defensive circle was extremely sturdy, making it difficult to break through.
The Heavenly Venerates inside breathed a sigh of relief, each taking pills to recover.
Lin Moyu knew that relying on the first corps commander for a quick victory was unlikely.
Heavenly Venerates from sects were indeed different from rogue Heavenly Venerates.
In the Origin Secret Treasury, those Heavenly Venerates died so easily.
Miao Wen and Lian Cheng survived not by luck but by strength.
These Heavenly Venerates from the Qingyun Sect, a branch of the Seven-Colored Sect, had ample resources, making them harder to kill.
Lin Moyu didn't want to drag this out, fearing complications.
With a light touch of his finger, the Bone Hell silently unfolded, enveloping the area around the battle flag.
Countless hellish fiends rushed out, attacking the battle flag. When blocked, they began to gnaw frantically.
Although the hellish fiends were only at the Supreme level, they had the characteristic of devouring everything. Even Heavenly Venerate treasures could be worn down bit by bit.
In some ways, the hellish fiends were more effective than the higher-level Dragon Cavalry Corps.
The battle flag couldn't move and had to endure the gnawing of the hellish fiends.
The Hellfire River erupted with countless flames, helping the hellish fiends consume the battle flag's power.
No matter how strong the battle flag was, its power was finite. Even with slow attrition, it could be worn down.
The Heavenly Venerates' faces changed dramatically, "What kind of spell is this? I've never seen it before."
"It looks like a death-type spell from the northwest region."
"The battle flag's power is being worn down; it won't last long. Prepare for a fierce battle."
Peng Yun sighed, "I underestimated the opponent's strength; it's my miscalculation."
Someone suggested, "Elder Peng Yun, can you try talking to the opponent again? Maybe we can resolve this as a misunderstanding."
Peng Yun shook his head slightly, feeling it was unlikely.
Although their contact was brief, he had a good grasp of Lin Moyu's temperament.
Lin Moyu was the type who either didn't act or went all out when he did.
However, Peng Yun still wanted to try, "Daoist friend, can we discuss this? It was our mistake. If you could show mercy..."
Lin Moyu interrupted him, his cold voice ringing out, "It's a matter of life and death!"
Xiao Wu laughed from the side, "These people must be crazy. They're still trying to negotiate after such a fight."
The little ox added, "I think the master should make them slaves."
Lin Moyu laughed, "Of course, I'll take them, but not alive!"
The little ox immediately said, "That's what I meant. The living are not as obedient as the dead!"
Xiao Wu echoed, "Exactly, the living are not as obedient as the dead."
Xiao Yue, listening, was confused and didn't understand.
Peng Yun's words were cut off, and they knew it was a fight to the death.
Peng Yun said, "It's my fault this time. I'll burn my soul to help you break out of the encirclement."
"If any of us manage to escape, report to the sect master and ask the main sect elders to avenge us."
The others nodded solemnly.
After ten minutes, the battle flag finally collapsed.
The hellish fiends pounced on them, and the Heavenly Venerates fought back, tearing apart the Bone Hell with their Heavenly Venerate power.
Although the Bone Hell was shattered, the mark was completed.
Lin Moyu flicked out a ball of Undying Flame, and majestic Skeleton Kings emerged from the hellfire, sitting on their thrones.
Xiao Yue's eyes sparkled, "So powerful!"
Xiao Wu explained, "These are Skeleton Kings, the master's signature spell!"
Lin Moyu summoned a hundred Skeleton Kings. Facing ten Heavenly Venerates, regardless of their strength, each would face ten Skeleton Kings, perfectly fair.
Because of the Dragon Cavalry Corps, the Heavenly Venerates hadn't noticed the Skeleton Kings.
But they felt a chill in their hearts, sensing danger.
"Break through!"
Peng Yun roared, his body igniting with flames, his soul burning, pushing his aura to its peak.
For a moment, Peng Yun's power almost surpassed a mid-level Heavenly Venerate, reaching the high-level Heavenly Venerate realm.
At that moment, outside the encirclement, a hundred Skeleton Kings raised their swords simultaneously.
Spell: Bone Slash!
The rule world appeared, and the Bone Law surged, stronger than the Bone Battle Formation.
Sword light flashed on the ten Heavenly Venerates, followed by explosions.
Their attempt to break through ended before it began, marked by their deaths.
Six low-level Heavenly Venerates died on the spot, their souls and bodies shattered by the sword light, with no survivors.
They died without knowing how they were killed or where the attack came from.
The sudden sword light ended their lives, their millennia of cultivation coming to an end.
The four mid-level Heavenly Venerates were severely injured, losing their combat abilities and barely clinging to life.
They fell to the ground, even losing the ability to fly.
The first corps commander retracted the Dragon Cavalry Corps and knelt before Lin Moyu, "I failed to complete the task. Please punish me, master."
Lin Moyu waved his hand, "Get up. It's not your fault; you did your best."
The lunar origin shone like mercury, bringing a slight chill, but it couldn't cool the hearts of Peng Yun and the others.
They finally saw who had killed them.
Majestic and terrifying Skeleton Kings, each a mid-level Heavenly Venerate, a hundred in total.
Peng Yun's voice trembled with fear, "Who are you? How do you have so many puppets?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "You will know soon enough."
"Know soon enough?"
Peng Yun and the others didn't understand Lin Moyu's words, but they didn't need to.
Lin Moyu waved his hand, and an insect mother appeared in the air.
Peng Yun screamed in terror, "An insect mother! You're from the insect race!"
The other three also screamed, "The insect race! It's the insect race!"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Wrong answer, you deserve punishment!"
