Chapter 592: Disciple of the Evil Dragon Master

Yu Haonan had always been wary of Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci, never expecting them to strike at this moment.

It was because he least expected it that Yu Haonan suffered a heavy blow before he could unleash the Ground Energy Corpse Formation. His left arm almost got severed, with a gash from his left shoulder to his dan tian.

“Pfft, why are you…?” When he saw Yu Haonan spitting blood, Yu Dingxin sneered, “The third branch knows its own worth. The first and second branches know it best. How can we feel at ease to deal with the heavenly soldiers if we don’t eliminate you first?”

“Cough, then why did you actively team up with me?” Yu Haonan quickly consumed a jade pill to save his life, realizing that the knife wielded by that bastard Yu Tianci was poisoned.

“It’s just as dangerous to let you be outside because the Yu family knows each branch very well. Rather than lying in ambush on others, it’s logical to take out someone familiar first. Isn’t that the usual style of the third branch?”

“Dingxin, stop talking nonsense and get rid of him.” Yu Tianci and Yu Dingxin charged forward together.

“Hahaha, you underestimate me, Yu Haonan.” Before he finished speaking, the Corpse of Evil turned into a black shadow and rushed ahead, its speed astonishing Yu Tianci and Yu Dingxin.

Although six Corpses of Evil were lost while killing the Wei brothers, the Ground Energy Corpse Formation was not entirely depleted; Yu Haonan’s control over corpses was indeed brilliant.

Under his command, the Corpses of Evil moved quickly, never lingering in one place. The claws of the corpses howled as they pressed forward, increasing pressure on his opponents.

Li Sifan harbored hatred only for the third branch of the Yu Family Fortress and had limited contact with those from the first and second branches, so he pretended to remain still as a Corpse of Evil to watch the battle.

Yu Haonan did not act recklessly with the Supreme Corpse of Evil serving as the formation core, knowing doing so would change the entire formation and complicate corpse control. This would hinder him from quickly subduing Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci. Yu Yingshu had made this mistake, only aware of the Supreme Corpse’s might without realizing that controlling the ordinary Corpses of Evil in battle was the essence of corpse manipulation.

“Hmm, the Ground Energy Corpse Formation? Is this the best the third branch can do?” Yu Dingxin scoffed, releasing a massive zombie that generated a faint barrier energy around itself.

“What? You actually possess a Barrier Zombie?” Yu Haonan gasped in shock. A Barrier Zombie was superior to a Corpse of Evil in corpse refining, and the conditions for its creation were extremely stringent. If this Barrier Zombie’s energy became more refined, it might rival someone in the early stages of Wanxiang.

Yu Dingxin laughed triumphantly, “Hahaha! Now you understand my power, right? This Ground Energy Corpse Formation is indeed impressive. Training it alongside my Barrier Zombie, it could potentially become a Celestial Barrier Zombie Formation in the future!”

“Dream on!” Yu Haonan sensed the Pressure of the Barrier Zombie against the Corpses of Evil and decisively launched an attack, slapping the forehead of Li Hui with a Body Talisman aimed at disintegrating the heavenly corpse.

“Crack, crack, crack…” Li Hui’s frail body made noise, expanding in size within a breath, growing at least a foot taller.

Next, other Corpses of Evil opened their mouths, spewing dark light at Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci, giving Yu Haonan the chance to control the Supreme Corpse of Evil to charge at the Barrier Zombie.

“Together in ruin!”

Yu Haonan was not easily intimidated. Upon seeing the Barrier Zombie, he immediately launched a mutually destructive attack. However, he had no idea that the Supreme Corpse of Evil created by the old boss for Yu Yingshu was extraordinarily powerful.

Li Hui threw a punch, instantly turning the Body Talisman on his forehead to ashes. His form shrunk back to normal, yet an incredible momentum erupted from his fist, akin to a cannon firing.

“Boom…” The Barrier Zombie was sent flying straight into the midst of three heavenly soldiers, spasming with its limbs while its body cracked, immediately swinging the situation in favor of Yu Haonan.

“Hahaha…” Now it was Yu Haonan’s turn to laugh wildly. He resolved to enhance his control over this Corpse of Evil after this battle, seizing the opportunity to command other Corpses of Evil to launch a fierce assault.

Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci had miscalculated; how could such a mere Corpse of Evil defeat a Barrier Zombie? Although this Corpse of Evil became worn out after landing its punch, driving back the Barrier Zombie was already enough.

Was Li Hui really worn out? Not at all. It wasn’t his punch that took too much toll; rather, he had employed the Heart Talisman to stack the Body Talisman six times, maximizing this body’s potential and compressing the Corpse of Evil and dark energy within to the limit. He could transform into a Barrier Zombie at any moment, but he had a better option.

In the skies above, the Immortal Bird had suffered heavy injuries while deducing the Immortal Bird Dao Talisman, recovering for a full year.

With effort comes reward; Li Hui grasped a glimpse of the Immortal concept from the Dao Talisman, planning to inscribe the Body Talisman from that insight.

“Since I possess the Yin Thunder Dao Body and wish to advance to the Yang Thunder Dao Body, it’s best to draw the Immortal Thunder Talisman! Only by reviving can I merge my energies and gather the Yang Thunder.”

At this moment, Yu Dingxin let out a cry of despair as half his body turned grayish-green. Seeing this, Yu Tianci hurriedly tried to flee. However, four dark rays shot towards him, making him furious as he shouted, “Yu Haonan, you’re ruthless! You would sacrifice four Corpses of Evil just to keep me here!”

“Cutting the grass means uprooting it.”

Yu Haonan stood his ground, knowing that the Ground Energy Corpse Formation had overcome the Barrier Zombie. What did he have to fear now? He no longer regarded Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci as threats and waited for a chance to cultivate the corpse formation properly, intending to make a clean sweep in the following days.

In this battle, the Ground Energy Corpse Formation lost twelve Corpses of Evil.

After taking down Yu Dingxin and Yu Tianci, he obtained some corpse refining materials and new corpses, all of whom turned out to be disciples from the Yu Family Fortress. Yu Haonan sent the tattered Barrier Zombie into the formation, and with Yu Yingshu, Yu Yingshao, and Yu Haodong, he barely gathered thirty-six corpses to complete the formation.

In the following three days, the Corpses of Evil attacked everywhere, each battle strengthening the formation.

Yu Haonan was overjoyed; the ordinary corpses and new corpses actually generated Corpse energy, and the recovery speed of that Barrier Zombie was remarkably fast. He never expected the old boss’s level of corpse refinement to be so high.

Like Yu Yingshu, Yu Haonan dripped his essence blood into the brow of the Supreme Corpse of Evil to offer it to the formation.

Moreover, this guy was surprisingly lucky, discovering several Yin-Yang Blood Stones from Yu Dingxin’s pouch. Just one drop of essence blood produced five large clusters of essence, temporarily satisfying the Blood Curse Resurrection Symbol concealed within Li Hui’s ancestral acupoint.

The entrance trial of the Heavenly Gate finally came to a close, and Yu Haonan, along with over fifty young males and females, successfully stepped into the mountain gate. In the distance, hazy white mist rose from the peaks, quickly coalescing into Luan birds and dragons racing swiftly towards the mountain gate.

“Don’t move! This manifests the spiritual sense of the masters; if you’re fated, you may enter the gate.”

The young boys and girls were ecstatic, hoping to win the favor of the masters. That would immediately elevate their status at home, meaning they would no longer have to be subservient to others.

“Yu Haonan, come to my Beiming Mountain to hear the declaration. The corpse formation is impressive; it greatly pleases me, the Evil Dragon Master.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Haonan was overjoyed. The Evil Dragon Master ranked fourth among the sixteen elders and was said to possess genuine strength surpassing that of the third-ranked Silver Moon Master. His best outcome from participating in this trial was to become a disciple of the Evil Dragon Sect.

Li Hui concealed his Legal form and spiritual sense as he contemplated, “This Evil Dragon Master has been watching the corpse formation since three days ago, and he seems particularly interested in me. He appears to have recognized my Yin Thunder Dao Body. I wonder what he’s plotting.”
