Chapter 1099: Taming the Corpse

Mortal Realm

Then, the Corpse King suddenly clutched its head with both hands, letting out a shrill, bizarre scream filled with pain.

Bai stopped ahead, its eyes gleaming with wild joy.

It was effective!

Qin Sang was also pleasantly surprised.

Bai, through the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, was actually able to truly affect the Corpse King.

Qin Sang continued to control the Ebony Sword, striking towards the Corpse King's nape.

The Corpse King roared fiercely.

Bai's actions, whether stirring up unbearable memories for the Corpse King or causing it extreme pain, had made Bai a thorn in its side.

Even as sword energy attacked, the Corpse King still glared fixedly at Bai, its hatred palpable.

Bang!

The sword wheel struck the Corpse King, only tearing open the corporeal aura on its surface but failing to harm the Corpse King's true form.

The Corpse King didn't even turn its head, ignoring the sneak attack from behind.

Seeing this, Bai dared not slacken in the slightest, continuously activating the Heavenly Corpse Talisman within the Corpse King while merging its body with its ghostly aura and rapidly retreating.

Seeing the Corpse King ignore him, Qin Sang secretly sneered.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Demon Banners flew before him.

It wasn't yet time for the decisive strike, so Qin Sang temporarily took out nine Demon Banners and secretly prepared the other three.

The Nine Nether Demonic Flames emerged, transforming into fiery spears. With a sizzling sound, the ghostly aura lingering around was scorched by the demonic flames and instantly incinerated.

"Go!"

Qin Sang's mind stirred slightly, and he raised his hand.

The fiery spear shot directly towards the Corpse King's back.

Bang!

As expected, the fiery spear was shattered by the Corpse King, but immediately, overwhelming Nine Nether Demonic Flames appeared, enveloping it before the Corpse King could react.

In an instant, the Corpse King was engulfed in flames, and the aura of the Nine Nether Demonic Flames was fully revealed!

The Corpse King cried out in pain, sensed the danger, and finally dared not underestimate this persistent nuisance. Its corporeal aura surged, and it forcibly broke through the demonic flames.

After a brief clash, all the black fur on the Corpse King's body was completely burned away by the demonic flames, leaving it looking quite disheveled, but it showed no obvious injuries.

Bai, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to quicken its movements.

At the center of the Corpse King's brows, a faint talisman shadow flickered, causing it even greater pain.

The Corpse King roared repeatedly in anger and continued its pursuit, leading to another series of perilous moments.

Fortunately, Bai, having merged with its ghostly aura, was fast enough to escape.

Moreover, with Qin Sang occasionally helping to pin it down, Bai managed to endure.

As time passed, the corporeal aura on the Corpse King's body grew thinner, the bloodlust in its eyes dimmed, and its speed became slightly slower than before. Both Qin Sang and Bai became more relaxed.

Qin Sang hadn't expected the process to be so smooth.

When at full strength, this Corpse King was equivalent to an early Nascent Soul cultivator. Under the influence of the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, its power was greatly diminished, and it no longer posed a significant threat to them for the time being.

However, capturing or killing the Corpse King would still require considerable effort.

Ordinary methods would barely be able to harm the Corpse King.

Not long after, Bai's urgent voice reached Qin Sang's ears. Bai said it was nearing its limit. The creature was still struggling, and if too much time passed, the Heavenly Corpse Talisman's effect might weaken. Bai would entangle the Corpse King, and Qin Sang should look for an opportunity to strike.

Qin Sang nodded in agreement, secretly took out the remaining three Demon Banners, and consumed Soul Cleansing Liquid and energy-restoring pills.

He looked ahead.

By this time, the battlefield had moved to the center of the deep pit, where the Corpse King's lair was located. With the ebb and flow of their strength, Bai was now capable of holding its own against the Corpse King.

The Corpse King was enraged, using every possible method, but for a time, it struggled to overcome Bai, who was protected by a tortoise shell.

However, Bai also found it difficult to harm the Corpse King. Controlling its ghostly aura, it conjured blades and swords, but even if they penetrated the corporeal aura and landed on the Corpse King's flesh, they could only leave superficial wounds.

Qin Sang glanced around, then quietly darted to the edge of the deep pit, avoiding the Corpse King's sight. He set up a hidden formation, then activated the twelve Demon Banners to form a spell array!

The Demon Banners fell into place, their flags flapping loudly.

At this moment, Qin Sang's expression eased slightly, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Although he was seventy to eighty percent confident, he was also worried he might not be able to control the Demon Banners and ruin their plan.

Fortunately, having prior experience, his control over both the banner formation and the fiery lotus was stronger than last time. The consumption of energy to activate the demonic flames was not as alarming, and the Soul Cleansing Liquid and pills were sufficient to sustain him.

While setting up the formation, Qin Sang sent a mental message to Bai.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud thuds echoed from within the deep pit.

The battle between Bai and the Corpse King grew more intense.

On the surface, Bai's momentum even surpassed that of the Corpse King. An endless stream of ghostly aura was drawn to it, creating towering waves that sought to crush the Corpse King.

The Corpse King's body endured the impact, its skin shimmering with a metallic sheen. It resisted purely with its physical body, pushing against the tide, its fierce might undiminished.

Bai feigned defeat, steadily retreating, leading the Corpse King towards Qin Sang's hiding place.

The next moment, the twelve Demon Banners formation was finally complete!

The grand formation was complete.

Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes and transmitted a command to strike.

Whoosh!

The Demon Banners resonated.

Streaks of demonic flames shot out from the Demon Banners, converging at the center of the formation into a blazing inferno. Then, with a point of Qin Sang's hand, it shot directly towards the Corpse King before fully condensing!

After unleashing this attack, Qin Sang's true essence and spiritual sense were almost depleted.

At this moment, if the Corpse King targeted him, he would be completely defenseless.

A streak of white light flashed.

The White Crane arrived just in time, carrying Qin Sang away from the battlefield.

The Corpse King was not entirely without intelligence.

Having suffered from the Nine Nether Demonic Flames before, when it saw the demonic flames and sensed an even more terrifying power than before, its blood-red eyes flickered, and it actually tried to retreat.

Bai was already prepared, and immediately reversed its retreat, counterattacking the Corpse King.

"Gather!"

Bai roared, and the surrounding ghostly aura instantly surged wildly towards the Corpse King, forming ghostly restraints like chains, creating a cage.

Their coordination was skillful, giving the Corpse King no chance whatsoever.

Even if it could only be trapped for an instant, it would be enough.

The Nine Nether Demonic Flames followed closely!

Boom!

The Nine Nether Demonic Flames erupted!

Fiery currents scattered in all directions, and the battlefield instantly became chaotic, with black demonic flames swirling everywhere.

The Corpse King was at the center of the demonic flame explosion, its silhouette no longer visible at this point.

Immediately after, a deafening, shrill roar suddenly erupted from within, causing the demonic flames to tremble. The Corpse King was not dead.

Bai was not surprised by this. It stared intently at the center of the demonic flames.

Qin Sang had already lost his combat ability. If even this strike failed to severely wound the Corpse King, there would be no point in continuing the fight.

Finally, the Corpse King burst out of the demonic flames.

Seeing the Corpse King's current state, Bai's eyes could not conceal its joy.

The Corpse King's entire body was covered in wounds, its skin cracked. Its chest had been blown open by the demonic flames, with bone fragments clearly visible. Its face was torn, and one eyeball was missing.

While its appearance became even more ferocious and terrifying, its aura was clearly weakening!

Bai let out a maniacal laugh, looking up at the sky. With a twist of its body, it turned from defense to offense!

At this moment, Qin Sang was hidden in the distance, unable to fight anymore.

Since Bai hadn't asked for assistance, he decided to save a drop of Three Lights Jade Liquid. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began recovering using pills and spirit stones.

After a brief period of recuperation, Qin Sang summoned the Sky-Eyed Butterfly to guard him and ordered the White Crane to go assist, to end the battle quickly.

In the deep pit, the fierce battle continued.

The Corpse King's roars were incessant, but they now carried an undertone of feebleness behind its outward ferocity.

After another period of time, the Corpse King's cries finally ceased.

Qin Sang stopped recuperating, opened his eyes, and stood up. He happened to see Bai, holding the Corpse King's mangled body, rushing towards him.
