Wu Zhong's injuries grew progressively worse, yet the Taiyi Sect Leader showed no signs of fatigue.
If things continued this way, he might not even have the strength to use Heavenly Que's power.
Wu Zhong's face was gloomy.
The Taiyi Sect Leader had murder in his eyes.
Wu Zhong reckoned he could last for another quarter of an hour, and that was ample time for Ye Lingyue to leave the cave.
The stubborn voice reached Wu Zhong's ears.
"What time is it, if one can leave, then one should leave." After saying that, Wu Zhong's gaze shifted.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Ye Lingyue, who he had been protecting, flashed out from his left side.
"Little Infinite Finger, One Finger Universe."
She concentrated Primordial Power between her hands, and a beam of light shot out from her finger.
That single finger pierced directly through the palm wind of the Taiyi Sect Leader, carrying an astonishing surge of Primordial Power, and struck squarely on his forehead.
The Little Infinite Finger is a Martial Arts technique passed down by the Buddhist Sect, containing Innate Gang Qi. To the likes of the Taiyi Sect Leader, a living corpse, it was a deadly attack.
The Taiyi Sect Leader let out a piercing scream.
He then let out a painful roar, and a multitude of black yin energy began to congregate in his hand.
Suddenly, a pitch-black Ghost Claw formed on his palm.
That Ghost Claw, brimming with yin energy and the scent of death.
Along with the Ghost Claw, countless hellish Yinfeng gushed from the ground, reaching out to snatch Ye Lingyue.
"Emperor's Nine Heavens, second move, Sky-splitting Slash." Wu Zhong, his face void of blood, flushed with a demonic red.
With one step, his Heavenly Que shimmered like the milky way in the sky, numerous sword shadows flickered and converged, twisting the very air in the cave.
Like tearing the heavens and splitting the earth, the Taiyi Sect Leader's massive Ghost Claw dissipated into smoke, and his body was cleaved into two halves.
Even as strong as Wu Zhong was, he had run out of Qi, his long hair damp and drooping on his shoulders, blood streaming profusely from his arm.
But just when Ye Lingyue thought the crisis was averted, the severed body of the Taiyi Sect Leader staggered and stood up again.
The left half of the body was struggling to find the right half, to become whole once more.
Such terrifying self-healing power. Could it be that this living corpse is undying?
A chill crept up from Ye Lingyue's feet. Official source is novel·fire.net
All of a sudden, Ye Lingyue noticed a gleam of light flashing on the left side of Taiyi Sect Leader's body. She thought her eyes were deceiving her, but on closer inspection...
Indeed, there was an amulet shaped like a broken piece of tile hanging on the Taiyi Sect Leader's chest.
That tile, Ye Lingyue found it eerily familiar.
The Five Elements Water Cauldron Fragment, the amulet on Taiyi Sect Leader's chest looked similar in shape and Spiritual Power fluctuations.
But judging by the fluctuations, it was not the Water Cauldron Fragment, but likely another Cauldron Fragment of the Five Elements Spirit.
"Wu Zhong, how much longer can you last?"
After Ye Lingyue understood the reason behind the living corpse's constant revival, her panic dissolved.
"What do you plan to do?"
Wu Zhong lowered his head to look at Ye Lingyue, saw her small face swept clear of earlier anxiety, and filled with confidence.
Somehow, her confidence was infectious, and Wu Zhong spoke with a deep voice.
"I can use Emperor's Nine Heavens one more time."
With that said, his body shook like a tiger, and the sharpness of the Heavenly Que re-emerged, with the sound of a Dragon Roar, and Sword Qi surged like a fierce flood.
As expected, the Taiyi Sect Leader was cleaved in two once again, without any surprise.
"Ignorant... I... am undying."
Staggering, the Taiyi Sect Leader stood up again.
But just then, the girl who had been standing silently beside Wu Zhong moved her starry eyes.
The Star Saliva Dagger burst forth with a cold light, lunging towards the Taiyi Sect Leader.
The undead Taiyi Sect Leader did not take the Star Saliva seriously at all.
Even the Emperor-level Martial Arts Sky-splitting Slash failed to utterly destroy it; to it, the effect of the Star Saliva was at most akin to a few mosquitoes.
But as the six Star Saliva Daggers drew near, their trajectories suddenly changed; they were now aiming for the undead's wrists and ankles.
With a thud, the Taiyi Sect Leader was nailed directly onto the wall.
"Cackles... release... me..." The Taiyi Sect Leader struggled laboriously.
Ye Lingyue was nimble as a rabbit, leaping forward, she bent her arms in a sinister gesture.
As she brought her five fingers together, an irresistible suction force emanated from the palm of her hand.
"Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand."
Her palm landed on the Taiyi Sect Leader's chest, followed by a forceful suction.
The Protective Talisman that had been alongside the Taiyi Sect Leader's heart, which had stopped beating for many years, was both ripped out of the chest by Ye Lingyue.
At the moment the Talisman Cauldron Piece departed from the body, the undead Taiyi Sect Leader's skin shriveled, muscles rapidly aged, and in the blink of an eye, what used to be no different from a living corpse now turned into a dried corpse.
In Ye Lingyue's palm, she still clutched the Cauldron Piece.
"Is this? The Five Elements Wood Cauldron Fragment?"
After slaying the Taiyi Sect Leader, Ye Lingyue looked down at the Cauldron Piece in her hand.
The word "Wood" was inscribed on the Cauldron Piece, and unlike the Water Cauldron Fragment that brimmed with a strong aura of Water Spirit, the Wood Cauldron Piece was filled with a thick life force.
The Five Elements Wood is originally the strongest in all things in terms of life force; it thrives endlessly, which was why the Taiyi Sect Leader's corpse maintained life force, immortal to any killing blow.
Such a Cauldron Piece, if it fell into the hands of those with intentions, would definitely be a source of endless trouble.
No wonder the Taiyi Sect had used eight Earth-level Spiritual Treasures to guard this Cauldron Piece.
Even though it was unclear what the Cauldron Piece in Ye Lingyue's hands was, from her expression, it was definitely very important.
Just when Ye Lingyue thought that after obtaining the Five Elements Wood Cauldron Fragment she could finally relax,
The Cauldron Piece in her palm suddenly jumped to life.
What looked like an unremarkable Cauldron Piece turned lively as if it had its own life, its sharpness unmatched, and in an instant, it pierced into Ye Lingyue's palm.
Ye Lingyue realized something was wrong, and that Cauldron Piece, like a Vampire, crazily drank her blood, sucking at her flesh.
Wu Zhong's face changed drastically, and he wanted to snatch the eerie Cauldron Piece from Ye Lingyue's hand.
But before he could touch Ye Lingyue, countless vines as thick as pythons burst forth from the ground, separating the two.
"Damn it, girl, what's happening to you!"
The Heavenly Que in his hand struck at those vines, but with each one cut, thicker and more vines sprouted ceaselessly from the ground.
Wu Zhong was anxious; he had never encountered such a situation before.
On the other side, Ye Lingyue also clenched her hands tightly, trying to pull off that Cauldron Piece.
But the Cauldron Piece seemed to have taken root, continuously burrowing into her hands.
"Ignorant people, daring to kill my servant. Then let you, become my new servant."
A voice made Ye Lingyue's heart jump with fright.
