Two corpses waved at Austin. He suddenly remembered the sacred sword he had gotten.
He thought that it might be useful in dealing with these corpses, so he took it out of his Space Ring.
These corpses had poor bodily movement skills, so Austin just jumped forward and thrust the sword
into a corpse's chest without any difficulty.
A swooshing sound was heard as the sacred sword easily penetrated its chest.
Earlier, Austin used his Violet Royal Sword to deal with them. But unfortunately, the sword was unable
to leave any mark on their bodies. They were barely hurt. Apparently, their bodies were no less than
the quality of high-grade spiritual weapons.
Also, the vital energy force was useless. When Austin faced them, he could only fight them using his
physical power—he needed to destroy them with his pure physical strength.
Austin's current cultivation base could even defeat cultivators at the premium stage of Earth Realm, yet
it became difficult for him to deal with the corpses. These corpses gave him a tremendous pain in the
head.
Fortunately, the sacred sword he had was able to damage the corpses.
Despite the sword that was thrust into its chest, the corpse did not hesitate. It growled in anger and
waved its claw to attack Austin.
Its emerald-green fingernails were as hard steel. It was surrounded by black corpse miasmas. The
whole place was covered by its rotting odor.
Suddenly, Austin used his Wind-commanding Skill and rushed to the left side of the corpse. As fast as
a lightning, he cut the corpse's arm twice in the same position.
Its arm dropped to the ground, and there was no blood shown. The attack was so swift that the wound
appeared so smooth.
Austin realized that the sacred sword lived up to its name. Despite the hardness of the corpse's body,
the sword was able to cut its arm off with just two chops.
So Austin did it again and cut off its other arm.
The corpse was stunned as it lost its both arms. Suddenly, it moved toward Austin and opened its
rotted mouth. A black corpse miasma gushed from his teeth and was about to bite Austin.
Another swooshing sound was heard, and Austin cut its two legs. The corpse fell to the ground, unable
to move. Despite that, it roared in exasperation as black corpse miasmas constantly came out of his
mouth and his broken limbs.
Austin and Violet guessed that the black corpse miasma was the reason why these corpses could
move and attack.
Austin felt a little relieved to know that the sacred sword could kill the corpses.
On the other hand, Violet dealt with the other corpse.
Since the black corpse miasma could harm Violet, she did not dare to go anywhere near the corpse.
Instead, using her demonic force, she created a giant fox's black claw. It fiercely attacked the corpse
and knocked it to the ground.
However, the hardness of the corpse was equal to high-grade spiritual weapons. The corpse fell to the
ground a dozen times, yet it stood up and hit Violet all over again.
When Austin saw this, he came to help Violet. He used his sacred sword and easily cut off the four
limbs of its body.
"Hurry up!" Austin urged.
He put the sword back to his Space Ring and ran toward a passageway in the cavern with Violet and
the gnome.
The two corpses were left without limbs. They wiggled and roared as they were lying on the ground.
Austin and Violet began to use their spiritual sense to investigate the current situation of all the
passageways in the cavern. Both of them could see within a distance of two miles. The two quickly ran
toward the entrance of the cavern.
Sometimes, Austin and Violet were blocked by corpses. If they could, they would avoid them using their
bodily movement skills. If they couldn't, he would deal with them at the top speed. He either destroyed
their bodies with his fists, or cut off their limbs with the sacred sword. This easily let them run toward
the entrance.
A cold and roar was heard all over. All the corpses in the cavern had woken up. Each passage was
filled with them. Their noises reverberated through the cavern all this time.
However, these corpses couldn't find Austin and Violet. They hung about in the passageways and
couldn't aim at the two.
Only the corpse general, the most powerful corpse, was able to aim at Austin and Violet. It ran after the
two at the highest speed. When some corpses were in the way, the corpse general would reach out to
claw at them mercilessly. Despite the hardness of the corpses' bodies, the corpse general was able to
tear them apart with just one claw, as if the corpses were made of paper.
Through their spiritual sense, the two witnessed that the general corpse would be their only problem.
They managed to make a network of the passageways, and used their strong spiritual sense and bodily
movement skill to leave the corpse general behind, and moved towards the entrance. . .
Meanwhile, four members of the Ghost Sect concentrated their attention on the refinement of the
Ghost-devouring Flag. They had their meeting in a cavern under the ground.
Suddenly, the man sitting in the east cried in anxiety.
"Oh no! The corpse general just telepathically told me the two intruders robbed everything in the corpse
storage warehouse. The corpse general is unable to catch them. The two are about to leave the corpse
storage warehouse without any difficulty."
The other three men were shocked and inevitably stopped refining the Ghost-devouring Flag. They
began to discuss it with him.
"There were more than ten million vital energy crystals and various kinds of precious ore to refine the
corpse generals in the corpse storage warehouse. Most importantly, the copy of the Corpse-refining
Formula was there!
If the Corpse-refining Formula is exposed, we'll be screwed. The cultivators of other sects will know
how we refine the corpses," another man exclaimed.
The four men stood up and put on a serious face. They hadn't taken the two intruders seriously at the
beginning.
They had just sent a corpse general to locate Austin and Violet and kill them. This corpse general was
the leader of all the corpses and was strong enough to hunt cultivators at the premium stage of Earth
Realm effortlessly. Once the corpse general entered the corpse storage warehouse, he would wake up
all the corpses to deal with the intruders.
Cultivators at Mysterious Realm would have a hard time to flee from the corpse storage warehouse
when the corpse general and hundreds of corpses fought them.
With this, the four members of the Ghost Sect had believed that the corpse general would kill the two
intruders.
They had left the intruders behind and put their whole heart into the refinement of the Ghost-devouring
Flag.
But they did not know that Austin and Violet had such a strong spiritual sense and could run away from
the corpse general without any difficulty.
The four were surprised that Austin was a powerful cultivator and dealt with the corpses easily.
But when they noticed that everything in the corpse storage warehouse was gone, they got into a
panic.
"With things as such, we must stop them at any cost. They can't leave the Ghost Valley alive!" the man
stood in the east said through gritted teeth. Obviously, he was the leader of the group.
After a pause, he continued, "Send all the corpse generals to stop the intruders. The four of us have to
join as well. We must kill them. The resources are not that important. But the copy of the Corpse-
refining Formula and the secret of this base cannot be exposed!"
The other three men nodded in acknowledgment.
The four of them withdrew the Ghost-devouring Flag, which hadn't been completely refined yet, and left
this cavern rapidly. . . . .
"Woah! We're done. We did it!"
Austin, Violet and the gnome rushed out of the stone gate and left the corpse storage warehouse.
Out of the cavern was a heap of ruins, and intense feminine aura filled the in air. Still, Austin and Violet
felt much better now.
It was a good thing that they finally managed to flee from the horrible cavern.
The gnome stayed on Austin's shoulder all this time. He looked around with his round eyes.
"I didn't expect that we could find treasures in the Ghost Valley. We were so lucky to get all of them.
Now we'd better run away from the valley as soon as possible. If the corpses catch up to us, we'll be
done," Austin said to Violet with a laugh. They were about to dash towards the entrance of the valley.
All of a sudden, Austin's and Violet's faces changed dramatically.
They used their spiritual sense and could clearly see nine corpse generals quickly approaching them.
Their auras were as strong as the corpse general who had hunted them before.
The ground trembled and dust was all over the place. Austin and Violet could hear the loud footsteps of
the corpse generals.
The two felt like there were hundreds of troops and horses present. But in fact, there were only nine
corpse generals who were looking for them.
After a while, nine tall corpse generals came into view. They angrily jumped toward Austin and Violet as
if they were going to tear them into pieces. The two were shocked as they encountered another
trouble.
