Chapter 263 - 253: One Strike Shocks the World! (Double-Length)
"Go." Xu Baishu’s face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, one of the yellow-eyed corpse puppets wielding a broad sword suddenly charged out.
The speed at which the yellow-eyed corpse puppet burst forth was incredibly fast, slicing through the air and even creating an eerie sound wave.
Song Ping’an and Liang Zhao Long stood behind Song Changming, and as observers, they found it difficult to even catch the movements of this yellow-eyed corpse puppet.
The next moment, the yellow-eyed corpse puppet stood like a wall in front of Song Changming.
The shadow even enveloped Song Ping’an and Liang Zhao Long behind him, and the terrifying aura made their hair stand on end, their bodies frozen in place.
"So strong!"
At this moment, including Su Qingqing, all three felt the power of the yellow-eyed corpse puppet.
In the past, they had only heard legends about the yellow-eyed corpse puppet, and now they were witnessing it firsthand, personally experiencing its oppressive power.
All they could say was that the rumors were not false.
This yellow-eyed corpse puppet was indeed terrifyingly strong!
A slash came directly at Song Changming, carrying with it what seemed like endless giant strength, akin to a mountain crashing down.
All three turned pale.
Fortunately, Song Changming, standing in front of them, blocked the majority of the pressure for them.
Song Changming’s gaze was firmly locked onto the yellow-eyed corpse puppet, and he nearly simultaneously raised his saber to strike.
Sword blades clashed, and circles of shockwaves from the collision spread outwards.
Xu Baishu, who had previously maintained a relatively calm demeanor, suddenly turned pale with shock the next moment.
The greatest strength of a corpse puppet lies in its unmatched physical durability, coupled with its fearlessness of injury.
If combined with the martial arts mastery it possessed in life, it becomes extremely powerful!
This is also the core competence of the Corpse Refining Sect and their main reason for being a major sect from the Outer Domain.
However, right now, the supposedly unbeatable yellow-eyed corpse puppet was instantly sent flying like a ball upon contact with Song Changming.
It crashed into a white-eyed corpse puppet, which served as a cushion, causing its body to deflate and its head to explode!
From this, one could see how immense the power attached to the repelled yellow-eyed corpse puppet was!
Song Changming glanced at the shattered floor beneath his feet, his expression unchanged, and stepped towards Xu Baishu.
The yellow-eyed corpse puppet crawled out from the pit in the ground, shook its head, and once again shot towards Song Changming like a cannonball.
This time, Song Changming’s leg was surrounded by thunder light, extending down to the ground with streaks of electricity.
With a lift of his foot, another thunderous sound rang out, and the yellow-eyed corpse puppet was stomped into the ground by Song Changming, deeply embedded into the earth!
Meanwhile, Xu Baishu had already realized the situation was grim and directed another yellow-eyed corpse puppet to charge at Song Changming.
This yellow-eyed corpse puppet was wielding two large iron hammers, appearing even more formidable than the one beneath Song Changming’s foot.
However, the next moment, Song Changming raised his left hand holding the saber, while his right hand flashed out like lightning, slipping past the pair of large iron hammers to grab the puppet’s face, slamming it straight into the ground!
His fingers’ power instantly crushed the puppet’s impossibly hard facial bones!
Both of Xu Baishu’s yellow-eyed corpse puppets fell beside Song Changming’s feet just like that.
Then the long saber dropped, piercing through the head of the other yellow-eyed corpse puppet.
A brilliant golden flame erupted suddenly from Song Changming’s arm, extending along the handle and blade of the saber, and entered the skull of the yellow-eyed corpse puppet.
The next moment, golden fire spurted out from the eyes, nose, and mouth of the yellow-eyed corpse puppet.
In just a moment, its head was mostly destroyed by this potent fire attribute blade qi.
Not instantly turning to ash is already a testament to the toughness of this yellow-eyed corpse puppet’s flesh and bones.
"Hmm?" Looking down at the other yellow-eyed corpse puppet still showing signs of life, Song Changming cleanly and decisively chopped off its head, ensuring its complete defeat.
The bloodstains on the blade evaporated, and Song Changming straightened up, walking towards Xu Baishu.
"How, how can this be..."
The two yellow-eyed corpse puppets were so easily slain, unable to pose much of a threat to Song Changming before him.
Xu Baishu could hardly believe it, looking at Song Changming as if he were staring at a ghost, momentarily forgetting to run away.
Or perhaps he knew very well that given the overwhelming power Song Changming had displayed, even if he used every trick, escaping was impossible, so he simply gave up struggling.
"Even back in the day, Nan Wuji couldn’t destroy my corpse puppets, yet you..." Xu Baishu asked in despair.
"If it were ten years ago, the Sword Venerable wouldn’t have found it difficult to destroy these two corpse puppets of yours," Song Changming said casually.
He had once crossed paths with Nan Wuji, and knowing the combat power of Nan Wuji from ten years ago, he felt his statement was justified.
Xu Baishu’s account likely referred to an earlier stage of Nan Wuji, before reaching the peak of his strength, which was understandable.
"You, you’re going to kill me..." Xu Baishu said in a muffled voice after a moment of silence.
He knew very well that even the two yellow-eyed corpse puppets could be directly overpowered and effortlessly killed, making himself in front of Song Changming as vulnerable as a chick, easily annihilated with a mere flip of his hand.
His life or death was solely at the other person’s discretion.
"Where is Xu Baisheng?" Song Changming asked.
"At the headquarters of the Corpse Refining Sect. Whether you kill me or kill him, you’ll be in a death feud with the entire Corpse Refining Sect!" Xu Baishu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"So what? Do you think I would fear the Corpse Refining Sect?" Song Changming chuckled.
"..." Xu Baishu was momentarily speechless.
If anyone else said such a thing, he would dismiss them as arrogant or stubborn, ignorant of the true heights of the heavens.
