Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 286 Annihilate One

"Poor timing, to have drawn him here,"

At that moment, the demon man from the Sky Demon Sect was also fleeing, glancing backward at the Heavenly Corpse Sect's base. He couldn't help but twitch at the sight, having originally intended to use the Heavenly Corpse Sect to make his escape, but he had not expected Chen Mu to appear suddenly.

From the look of things, Chen Mu was not just newly arrived, but had been following Shen Lin all along. It was clear he aimed to follow the trail and perhaps uncover a stronghold of the Sky Demon Sect, but instead, he unexpectedly ran into the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

What a figure Chen Mu was, a top expert nearing the top ten on the Wind Cloud List, an existence nearly comparable to their venerables. With such a terrifying figure trailing behind, fear and chills naturally surged through him, driving him to flee with all his might.

But,

Just as he barely managed to break away into the distance, he saw a sword light tearing through the void, its water-like essence undulating atop the blue wind blade. Within it was a wooden long sword, which, though not particularly grand in appearance, possessed a sharpness that seemed to slice through everything—the Spirit Weapon Peach Divine Sword!

Meng Danyun was also there!

"Not good,"

The steward of the Sky Demon Sect, his pupils dramatically constricted. But he was unable to evade this strike, only managing to let out a furious cry, pushing his demonic power to the limit, as his body burst open with strands of blood.

Yet, even so, the demonic power he mustered up with everything he had could not withstand a single slash from the Flying Sword Peach Divine Sword. Almost instantly, he was split and penetrated by the sword light, then suddenly felt the world spinning around him as a line of blood flashed across his neck, and his head flew up into the air.

"Damn it..."

A look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He had done his utmost, leading Shen Lin and Chen Mu to the Heavenly Corpse Sect's base to draw Chen Mu out to make his move, and then found a chance to escape. Yet, he still failed to get away in the end.

Thud.

A head fell to the ground.

Off in the vast frosty plains, Meng Danyun moved at a great pace, almost as if flying through the air. Her figure lightly touched the white frost without leaving even a trace of footprints. Within seconds, she arrived beside the body of the demon man from the Sky Demon Sect and stretched out her hand to catch the Spirit Weapon Peach Divine Sword as it flew back.

She then calmly waved her sword at the body of the demon man, slicing it with a network of sword strokes that completely cut the body into countless pieces, blood splattering everywhere.

It wasn't that she harbored great hatred for the demon man, wanting to crush his bones and scatter his ashes; rather, the demon bodies of the Sky Demon Sect were special, some of them even capable of living without a head, though they were few. Having often fought with the demon men of the Sky Demon Sect at the border, she was well acquainted with their characteristics, naturally finishing them off without ease only when thoroughly crushed.

Whoosh.

After killing the demon man from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Meng Danyun looked toward the nearby location.

She saw that the base of the Heavenly Corpse Sect had entirely burst apart, countless Corpse Refinement fleeing in various directions, some directly targeting Shen Lin in their attack to restrain Chen Mu.

However, Meng Danyun remained calm as she stepped forward, the Peach Divine Sword in hand. With a sweep of her blade, she cleaved several evil corpses wrapped in black mist at the waist.

After all, she was a True Disciple who had been promoted to protector; her strength was significantly greater than that of the usual Six Viscera Realm practitioners. Although she was relatively new to the Six Viscera Realm, she could hold her own against almost all other Six Viscera Realm individuals with the Spirit Weapon, except for top-tier Six Viscera practitioners like Chen Mu. Even against Chu Jingsui, she wouldn't be easily defeated in one move.

"Sister Meng!"

Seeing Meng Danyun coming over and slaying several evil corpses with one sword stroke, Shen Lin felt a slight relief and was also a bit surprised, saying, "How come you are here too?"

"I also received your call for help."

Meng Danyun nodded slightly towards Shen Lin; she had actually been operating near Shen Lin's squad's area, investigating trails of the Sky Demon Sect's demon men. Upon receiving Shen Lin's distress signal, she immediately came over.

But her speed was no match for Chen Mu's, thus he arrived first and did not hasten to make his move. Instead, he followed Shen Lin all the way, eventually fishing out a big catch—a hidden base of the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

The Heavenly Corpse Sect differed from the Sky Demon Sect.

The demon men of the Sky Demon Sect acted like wild beasts, often taking the sky as roof and land as bed, with very few fixed bases which served mainly for communication and trade purposes.

But the Heavenly Corpse Sect was different. The Corpse Refinement technique of the Heavenly Corpse Sect required them to find special regions rich in Earth Fiend energy to achieve the best results; sometimes they even needed to set up the Earth Fiend Formation to harness and conceal the Earth Fiend energy.

Therefore,

the bases of the Heavenly Corpse Sect were often long-term occupations, not only hiding many people, but also accumulated many resources. Destroying a base of the Heavenly Corps Sect held much more value than clearing a Sky Demon Sect base.

Just like years ago in the Purple Mist Mountains in Yu State, there was a base where the Heavenly Corpse Sect had concealed itself for many years, leading the Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect to personally lead an attack, eventually wiping out the entire nest... of course, that base was much larger than this one.

Inside, there were even Elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect who refined Earth Corpses, causing substantial casualties for the Heavenly Sword Sect. This was also one of the reasons why the Heavenly Sword Sect later relentlessly searched for Heavenly Corpse Sect bases across the entire Cold North Path region.

Meng Danyun's gaze shifted towards Chen Mu, who had stormed into the base of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
