Chapter 282 - 259: Extermination of the Sect! (Double-Length) (Part 2)
"This is impossible!"
All the members of the Corpse Refining Sect showed looks of disbelief upon witnessing this scene, feeling as if their faith had collapsed.
The yellow-eyed corpse puppets were their faith, the ultimate undead they had always pursued!
Any yellow-eyed corpse puppet could contend with the strong ones on the Celestial List of Da Lai Kingdom!
As long as they refined a yellow-eyed corpse puppet, they could rise to the high ranks of the sect, and in the Outer Domain, they could walk unhindered!
Such a dreamlike corpse puppet, when faced with Song Changming, unexpectedly did nothing, pathetically weak beyond words!
How could this not make their mentality crumble?
Song Changming remained indifferent, his expression calm, as golden flames floated from the long knife in his hand, appearing as beautiful as golden ribbons, dancing around him.
With a single slash, golden radiance swept in all directions, and those yellow-eyed corpse puppets roared as they were slaughtered by Song Changming!
Fang Kui’s eyes were dull; the nightmares he had for several nights finally became reality...
The strongest corpse puppet in his sect, which he once prided himself on, was easily destroyed by Song Changming just now, no different from the corpse puppets of others.
Under Song Changming’s knife, it was as if all beings were equal!
The strong, the weak, all fell with a single blade!
Having lost the support of the corpse puppets, the Corpse Refining Sect members lost more than half of their power.
"Run!"
The Corpse Refining Sect members reacted quickly. After the corpse puppets were annihilated, they realized the sect was finished and immediately wanted to flee down the mountain.
But in the end, only a few managed to escape; more were killed by Song Changming’s rampant sword qi before they could get off the mountain.
Though the Wind Attribute Saber Technique was only of Ninth Grade level, once practiced to the Perfection Realm, it had its merits.
For such large-scale slaughter, this sword technique was more than suitable.
In no time.
The Corpse Refining Sect was a landscape of ruins and broken walls, with countless dead and injured corpse puppets and sect disciples.
Looking around, only Song Changming was left standing on the mountain.
He walked slowly toward the sect leader of the Corpse Refining Sect.
Fang Kui had a gaping wound inflicted by sword qi across his chest and abdomen, seriously injured, but still alive.
"With your strength, I can’t understand why you’d stay in Da Lai..." Fang Kui said weakly, lying on the ground.
His chest was rising and falling like an old bellows, as if he was about to gasp his last breath.
"Why, do you have a way to cross the Abyss?" Song Changming couldn’t help but ask.
Fang Kui said nothing. Even if he knew, he couldn’t possibly tell this man who destroyed his sect.
"If only I had known of your existence earlier, I would never have invaded Da Lai..." Fang Kui’s eyes were somewhat unfocused, mumbling to himself.
Uttering these words, he couldn’t help but regret the decisions made in the past.
But now, regret was meaningless.
With this branch of the Corpse Refining Sect gone from the Outer Domain, he was finished as well. No choice but to let go...
"Don’t be complacent, the main sect won’t spare you!" Fang Kui uttered these last words and exhaled his final breath.
"The Corpse Refining Sect of the Ancient Abyss Country." Song Changming’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Even if the Corpse Refining Sect from the Ancient Abyss Country didn’t come for him, he would seek them out in the future.
Since learning that his elder brother’s corpse had been taken, likely to be refined into a puppet and controlled, he was furious, bringing disdain for the Corpse Refining Sect.
Whether it was this branch in the Outer Domain or the main sect in the Ancient Abyss Country, he considered them his enemy.
If given the chance in the future, he wouldn’t mind wiping out this evil sect entirely!
Song Changming looked around the ruins of the hall and peak towers, stepping in to search.
Soon, he found many valuable resources, vast amounts of Money and Silver from the Dalai Kingdom, a considerable amount of Mist Gold, and many rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures unique to the Outer Domain’s dense fog.
"No wonder this world is filled with plundering, indeed one can get rich quickly..."
Even Song Changming was somewhat astonished by this loot.
With such a large Corpse Refining Sect, hundreds of years of development and inheritance, the treasures hidden within the sect were unimaginable.
Even the haul he obtained from defeating the Second Prince of Da Han couldn’t compare to the value of what he saw before him.
At that time, leveraging the royal treasures, he had achieved financial freedom directly.
Afterwards, he never had to worry about funds for his martial training; he could easily acquire any Martial Tao resources money could buy.
This current gain far surpassed the royal treasury, so naturally, Song Changming wouldn’t overlook it.
He rescued a group of living materials from a dungeon.
That is, people who had not yet been killed, chosen because they had certain traits making them ideal materials for the Corpse Refining Sect’s corpse puppet refinement, hence they were kept alive and imprisoned.
This group was quite large; combining several cells, there were nearly a thousand people!
Among them were some Martial Tao experts in the Qi Refining Realm!
When these people came out and saw the corpses of the Corpse Refining Sect members scattered everywhere, and the sect’s buildings in ruins, they felt dazed as if they were in a different world.
"Is this a dream..." one person murmured.
"What happened, the Corpse Refining Sect is just gone?"
"Heaven opened its eyes..."
Then they realized, and were extremely grateful to their savior, Song Changming, some already weeping bitterly, venting the immense suffering they had endured within the Corpse Refining Sect.
"Benefactor, if you have any instructions, please feel free to say so!" a Qi Refining expert cupped his fists and said.
Perhaps having just finished the battle, he could sense the overwhelming wave of Inner Qi emanating from Song Changming, leaving him extremely shocked.
Knowing that Song Changming was a top master beyond his imagination!
"Surely a Celestial List expert!" this Qi Refining expert was certain in his heart.
