Chapter 755: Total Annihilation
The Martial Saint Eighth Layer Disciple's forehead was beaded with sweat the size of soybeans. He quickly circulated his Primordial Power, wanting to distance his body from Duan Gujin.
The reason he had initially let others attack Duan Gujin from below was that he discovered a powerful Divine Sense barrier force down there.
He judged that the strong Divine Sense barrier prevented the owner of the low, deep voice from determining whether the Ice Corpse below was still alive. Therefore, he felt he could act against Duan Gujin below.
The owner of that deep voice had previously warned them not to engage in a large-scale fight here. However, if he framed Duan Gujin, saying Duan was controlled by the Ice Corpse, then the result could be a dead end without sufficient evidence.
Earlier, that Eighth-level Warrior felt complacent in his heart, thinking he was intelligent for coming up with a good plan for himself.
However, he never expected that when he and a group of Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples made their move, Duan Gujin would unleash an incredibly terrifying Combat Power.
Duan Gujin didn't hesitate; he knew he couldn't afford any compassion. Previously, those Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples intended to seize the highest level reward from him, and now that they were jumping down to kill him, it had already stirred his killing intent.
Moreover, with Qing Lian still above, he didn't want any accidents to occur.
"Since you want to kill me, be prepared to be killed yourselves!"
A moment later, the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples who had jumped down heard the cold voice of Duan Gujin in their ears.
The voice, although very light, fell into the ears of everyone below.
After hearing it, everyone's hearts grew cold with fear.
As soon as the voice faded, a powerful pressure erupted from Duan Gujin. The Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples below felt the overwhelming and terrifying pressure, and their legs started to tremble.
Then, everyone saw Duan Gujin's body move swiftly like lightning, wielding a Black Long Spear, repeatedly stabbing at their bodies.
The Black Long Spear pierced into those Martial Artists' bodies. Although it didn't cause them to bleed, once their Martial Souls were hit by the Black Long Spear, all their Martial Soul Power was absorbed by it.
If a Martial Artist's Martial Soul Power was devoured and absorbed, it meant that the Martial Artist would become a cripple from then on.
Upon sensing that all their Martial Soul Power had disappeared from within, the Martial Artists struck by the Black Long Spear were instantly filled with immense fear in their hearts.
"Aah! Aah!"
Those Martial Artists let out blood-curdling screams, but soon, their acupoints were sealed by Duan Gujin, unable to make any sound anymore.
"What's going on down there?"
Above, a Martial Artist raised their voice to inquire.
"Don't come down! The Ice Corpse is still alive and has already taken over some Martial Artists' bodies. The Ice Corpse intends to capture everyone's body here and then escape!"
Duan Gujin replied loudly.
When those Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples heard Duan Gujin's reply, their expressions changed drastically. They didn't understand why their people couldn't respond.
They had previously speculated that the Martial Saint Eighth Layer Disciple might have intended harm on Duan Gujin and that's why he shouted as he did. But now, it seemed Duan Gujin was in control, and the other Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples had become the bodies taken over by the Ice Corpse as he claimed.
"Something must have gone wrong down there!"
In unison, the thought flashed through the minds of the Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples above.
Previously, over twenty of them had jumped down, and they quickly consulted each other, trying to determine if they should go down as well.
"Ming Zheng, can you speak? Answer me!"
The Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciple asking was referring to Senior Brother Ming Zheng, the Martial Saint Eighth Layer Disciple.
At this moment, the Martial Saint Eighth Layer Disciple was the first to have all his Martial Soul Power devoured by Duan Gujin's Black Long Spear, and the acupoints of Ming Zheng's body were entirely sealed by Duan Gujin, making him unable to speak.
Below, Duan Gujin snorted coldly in his mind. He shouted loudly, "You people above, listen carefully. All your peers who jumped down earlier have already been controlled by the Ice Corpse and are now all disabled. Come down quickly to save them! I can't hold on much longer alone!"
With a thought, Duan Gujin hurriedly threw a Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciple near a torch so that the people above could clearly see the disciple's face.
Moreover, he also tossed the giant cocoon beside that Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciple to let everyone see what the cocoon looked like.
Seeing their peer's pale face, the group of Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples above collectively gasped in shock.
Initially, they intended to jump down and rescue those peers. But upon seeing that enormous cocoon, they were scared witless. It was their first time seeing such a gigantic cocoon, and thinking that it was likely the Ice Corpse's, they were all filled with dread.
At this moment, the deep voice called out loudly again, "People below, did you see if that Ice Corpse is dead or alive?"
"I'm not quite sure. I saw that the Ice Corpse has transformed into a huge cocoon, and everyone who jumped down is now mad. I can't tell what happened to them!"
"A cocoon, how is that possible?"
The deep voice seemed entirely unprepared for this situation.
After a while, the deep voice asked, "Can you pierce that cocoon with any Dark Weapon? If you can pierce the cocoon, I'll give you all the rewards for this stage!"
The nearby Taihuang Immortal Sect Disciples heard their conversation, and their expressions drastically changed. They wanted to obtain the reward for this stage, but seeing the massive cocoon below, they knitted their brows.
They thought about how Senior Brother Ming Zheng led over twenty people down, only for all to be wiped out, and each of them was filled with profound fear.
"What should we do?"
Several important elders gathered to discuss.
"Should we go down or not?"
The elders were pondering over this question.
Suddenly, they all thought of a question.
"Why is it that the person with only First Level of Martial Saint cultivation wasn't attacked by the Ice Corpse?"
So, an elder immediately asked Duan Gujin, "Friend below, why has the Ice Corpse controlled all our Taihuang Immortal Sect people, but you're unharmed?"
Duan Gujin laughed heartily and said, "That's because I'm skilled in using fire! Since these corpses are called Ice Corpse, it means they fear flames! I'm at least a Sixth-level Alchemist!"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the elders furrowed their brows and pondered for a while, eventually agreeing that Duan Gujin's words made sense.
Previously, from the stone box Jade Scroll they obtained, they learned that the Ice Corpses feared flames, which was why they could eliminate the Ice Corpses in the eighth round.
