Chapter 41 – The Ice Woman's Corpse!

While Ye Sheng held off one opponent, Bai Tingyu and Guyue Qing managed to deceive another Expert of the Asura Religion.

Suddenly, they launched a joint assault on one of them.

Caught off guard, the man was sent flying with a thunderous impact, crashing into a mountain wall behind him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and when he looked down, his chest armor had shattered.

His expression changed drastically.

His chest armor was a 2nd Revolution Dark Gold Equipment, yet it had shattered just like that.

It showed just how ruthless the two had been, aiming to take his life.

At the same time, he felt a wave of relief—if not for the armor, he would likely have died under their combined attack.

However, with the chest armor shattered, the set Attribute immediately dissipated, causing his Combat Power to drop significantly.

This widened the gap in Combat Power between him and Bai Tingyu and Guyue Qing.

Battles between Experts were inherently unpredictable.

Especially when even a slight disparity in Combat Power emerged, it became easier for opponents to exploit weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow.

“Retreat into the Asura Array and use the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Malevolent Ghost to kill the three of them!”

The Asura Religion Expert whose chest armor had shattered shouted sharply, calling out to his companion who was being held back by Ye Sheng.

“Understood!”

The Asura Religion Expert pushed aside Ye Sheng, who had been holding back, and joined the other man as they retreated toward the Asura Array behind them.

In the blink of an eye, the two Asura Religion Experts vanished into the Asura Array, where dark mist surged and churned.

“You, go in!”

Bai Tingyu finally turned his attention to the fourteen people who had been subjected to the Blood-Drawing Art.

The fourteen paled.

They were being sent into the Asura Array first.

Wasn’t this a death sentence?

Bai Tingyu softened his expression and coaxed them, “Don’t worry, we’ll follow and provide support. You’re just scouting the way.”

As he spoke, his face carried a threatening undertone.

It was clear that if the fourteen refused, they would be killed on the spot.

Disobeying orders in the heat of battle was something no Upper Echelon could tolerate.

Reluctantly, the fourteen complied, rising and leaping into the Asura Array.

Among them, the burly man and a few others looked deathly pale.

“Let’s go in too!”

Seeing the fourteen enter the Asura Array, Guyue Qing immediately spoke up.

Bai Tingyu, however, raised a hand to stop her and smiled cruelly, “No rush. Let these fourteen lure away the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Malevolent Ghost first.”

Guyue Qing opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Ye Sheng swept his gaze around, his expression cold and unyielding.

He didn’t care about the lives of the burly man and the other three.

Back when the four had ganged up on him, if he hadn’t had some skills, he would have been forced into a desperate situation.

Ye Sheng was no saint—in his past life, he had lived by the principle of repaying every slight, never offending others unless provoked.

If others humiliated him, they shouldn’t expect him to respond kindly.

A few breaths later.

Bai Tingyu felt it was about time and finally spoke slowly, “Alright, let’s go in now.”

With that, he took the lead and charged into the Asura Array.

Guyue Qing and Ye Sheng followed closely behind.

…

Inside the Asura Array, turbulent dark mist churned, shrouding the entire entrance to Ice Wind Valley.

Countless Malevolent Ghosts were drawn in, flooding into the area.

Swish!

Three figures pursued them inside.

Ye Sheng swept his gaze around and frowned slightly.

He didn’t see any Ghost Creatures of the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm within the Asura Array.

They had likely been lured away by the fourteen people subjected to the Blood-Drawing Art.

The two Asura Religion Experts were also nowhere to be seen.

“Follow me!”

Bai Tingyu seemed able to pinpoint the location of the two Asura Religion Experts. He took a step forward, heading deeper into the Asura Array.

Guyue Qing and Ye Sheng followed him.

As they ventured deeper, Ye Sheng’s eyes flickered.

Along the way, they had already seen four or five corpses.

These were the Cultivators from that group of fourteen.

The bodies were shattered, all torn apart by ghost claws.

Among them…

Ye Sheng saw the corpse of the icy woman, her chest pierced by ghost claws, her heart ripped out, lying lifeless by the roadside.

Already dead, her eyes were wide open, filled with terror.

It was as if she had seen something horrifying before her death, or perhaps she couldn’t believe she had perished just like that.

Ye Sheng only glanced briefly before averting his gaze.

In this world, the law of the jungle was all too common; countless Cultivators fell every day.

As for the bald Elder and the other two, Ye Sheng hadn’t spotted them yet.

They had likely fled deeper under the pursuit of the Ghost Creatures at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm.

After a while longer, there were even more corpses.

After all, these people were only 2nd Revolution Cultivators. Being hunted by Ghost Creatures at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm, it was difficult for them to escape.

Soon…

Ye Sheng saw the corpses of the sword-holding youth and the bald Elder.

Their bodies had been torn to shreds, leaving only blood-stained heads behind.

Ye Sheng’s gaze hardened as he followed Bai Tingyu deeper into the valley.

A moment later.

The three of them heard the roar of a Ferocious Ghost, with surging Yin Energy churning ahead.

A Malevolent Ghost, over three meters tall, was fiercely chasing the few remaining fleeing figures.

Not far away, two Experts from the Asura Religion wore grim expressions.

They wanted to stop the 3rd Revolution Malevolent Ghost from pursuing these people, but it was completely uncontrollable.

Especially upon seeing Bai Tingyu and the other two following closely, they knew the situation was hopeless!

With the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Malevolent Ghost held back, the two of them alone were no match for Bai Tingyu and his companions.

If they lingered in battle, they might very well perish here today.

The two Asura Religion Experts never expected… that the Asura Array they had set up would be broken so easily!

“Your methods are truly ruthless, sacrificing a full fourteen people!” one of the Asura Religion Experts sneered, looking at Ye Sheng and the others.

“Let’s go!”

With that, the two Asura Religion Experts acted decisively. Seeing the situation was beyond salvage, they promptly abandoned the mission.

“Don’t chase them!”

Guyue Qing spoke up, stopping Bai Tingyu.

Her goal this time was to rescue people, not to engage in combat.

Especially since the two Asura Religion Experts were 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm Experts. If they were determined to flee, there was no way to stop them.

“Alright!”

Bai Tingyu halted, a faint smile appearing on his face. This Crisis had been resolved smoothly.

“Should we save these people?”

Guyue Qing looked at the few remaining individuals being chased by the 3rd Revolution Malevolent Ghost.

Bai Tingyu shook his head. “No! We still need them to keep the 3rd Revolution Malevolent Ghost occupied!”

“Fine!”

Guyue Qing bit her lip. All five members of her Guyue Tower had already perished.

The remaining people were Bai Family retainers and members of the Xuanming Pavilion, so she naturally didn’t care about them.

Whoosh!

The two of them moved, heading deeper into Ice Wind Valley.

Ye Sheng followed closely behind.

He placed considerable importance on this mission.

Not only was there a reward of 3,000 contribution points, but he would also earn a favor from a 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm powerhouse—truly a generous reward!

“Save me!”

As they passed by the 3rd Revolution Malevolent Ghost, a disheveled figure looked at Ye Sheng, crying out in terror.

Ye Sheng turned his head and saw that the burly man was still alive but severely injured, covered in blood and filth, on the verge of collapse.

Ye Sheng snorted coldly and immediately withdrew his gaze, having no intention of saving him at all.

This burly man was no good egg either!

He could only blame himself for harboring ill intentions back then, reaping the bitter fruit, and now having to pay the price!

To put it in the words of netizens from his past life… he had walked himself into a dead end!
