Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Corpse Limb Kings!

Since the dark flame was something that these corpse limb were afraid of, Ren Qi wanted to try and see if the burning dark flame of the soul orb would be able to force these tarnished back.

The small burning dark flame emitted a faint blue light that covered the surroundings in an instant. It directly landed on the bodies of the tarnished around it.

However, contrary to Ren Qi’s expectations, the scene where the tarnished were scared off by this faint blue light did not appear.

After the surrounding tarnished were illuminated by the faint blue light, their bodies only stiffened slightly before they continued to attack.

Ren Qi was startled when he saw this situation. Previously, Long Yi had said that the tarnished were afraid of the dark flame.

Moreover, they had seen with their own eyes that the tarnished did not dare to approach the place where the netherworld light shone.

But now, why was it not working?

Ren Qi could not figure it out, but it was clearly not the time to think about this.

Ren Qi ordered the surrounding succubi to continue attacking while he waited for the soul orb to burn. Then, he put away the pure soul orbs after burning.

Next, Ren Qi asked Zhao Yuheng and the others to gather the soul orbs that they had put away and continue burning them.

This was because he discovered that although the dark fire emitted by the soul orbs that he burned could not make the surrounding tarnished flee in fear, it would slow down the attack frequency of the tarnished under the illumination of the dark fire.

Under the illumination of the dark fire, the tarnished seemed to be slowed down by some kind of attack, and their attacks began to slow down.

Another twenty minutes passed, and the dark fire had already finished burning. Ren Qi had obtained around a hundred pure soul orbs.

Although he could maintain the dark fire by continuing to burn the pure soul orbs, Ren Qi was somewhat unwilling to do so.

Moreover, the illumination of the dark fire could only slow down the attack speed of these tarnished. It could not force them to retreat, so there was no need to give up on the pure soul orbs.

At this moment, Ren Qi suddenly realized that the number of tarnished in the surroundings had started to decrease.

Furthermore, this decrease was happening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Ren Qi’s group was moving forward continuously. Meanwhile, the tarnished gathered around them from all directions.

Right now, the number of tarnished in front of them was rapidly decreasing until they disappeared.

The number of tarnished on both sides was also decreasing.

Ren Qi observed for a moment. It was not because these tarnished had been killed, so the number of tarnished was decreasing.

It was because these tarnished were starting to retreat.

It was just like when Ren Qi and the others were about to approach the dark fire after the last sealing door.

These tarnished were starting to retreat!

However, what made Ren Qi feel puzzled was that there were no traces of the dark fire and no light in front of them.

Under Ren Qi’s puzzled gaze, the surrounding tarnished quickly retreated and soon disappeared.

The surroundings were once again enveloped by the wind, snow, and black fog.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the number of tarnished just now was a little too many, giving everyone a lot of pressure.

Just as Zhao Yuheng and the others were about to relax and let their troops rest and reorganize, Long Yi’s nervous voice suddenly came from the front.

“Everyone be careful. We might have entered the territory of the Corpse-limb King.”

Corpse-limb King?

Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng, and the others frowned. They weren’t quite sure what the Corpse-limb King that Long Yi mentioned were.

“Corpse-limb King are formed from corpse limb. They’re very rare, but each one of them is at least at the half-step Saint-tier, and they’re very difficult to deal with.”

As soon as Long Yi finished speaking, a huge figure appeared in the wind and snow in front of them!

This figure was very huge, about the height of a twelve-story building. In front of it, Long Yi appeared somewhat skinny and small.

This figure had several hundred heads. On its chest, the secret manuals gathered together to form a huge head.

These heads were all the heads of the white bear.

And in the position of this huge figure’s head, it was covered in white bones, just like a white skull.

The aura coming from its body was very terrifying.

It wasn’t half-step Saint-tier!

It was the aura of a Saint-tier!

Long Yi’s body suddenly stiffened, and then he soared into the air, heading directly toward the Corpse-limb King.

At this time, the huge Corpse-limb King raised its palm and directly grabbed at Long Yi.

Although its body was huge, its speed was extremely fast.

The huge white bone palm slashed across Long Yi’s body, almost catching Long Yi.

Long Yi’s tail swung onto the chest of the Corpse-limb King, emitting a muffled sound. After which, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dragon breath, heading towards the head on the Corpse-limb King’s chest.

The Corpse-limb King used his hand to cover his chest, blocking Long Yi’s dragon breath. After which, he let out an angry roar as several bone spikes shot out from his body, directly heading towards Long Yi.

These bone spikes shot out at an extremely fast speed. Even though Long Yi quickly dodged, he was still unable to completely dodge them. A few bone spikes directly landed on Long Yi’s body.

The bone spikes were very sharp. The moment they landed on Long Yi’s body, they broke through Long Yi’s scales and pierced into his body.

“Quick! Go and help!”

Ren Qi reacted and looked at Long Yi in front of him.

Elise took the lead and rushed out. The Dark Elf Queen and Elemental Elf Queen also rushed out to help.

Zhao Yuheng, who was at the side, also asked the half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix to help.

As for the other troops, they did not take action.

In a battle between a half-step Saint-tier and a Saint-tier, the combat strength of a ninth-level full body was basically useless.

If they went up suddenly, it would only increase the casualties.

The two sides instantly engaged in battle. The attack power of the Corpse-limb King was very powerful. Even the half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix would be slightly injured when it was swept by its palm.

Most importantly, this big fellow’s speed was very fast, and it was not as heavy as it looked.

Long Yi said to the troops, the Elemental Elf Queen, and the Dark Elf Queen who had come to help, “Pay attention to the heads on its chest. That’s where its defense is the weakest.”

Hearing Long Yi’s words, the Elemental Elf Queen and the others began to change the direction of their attack.

A seven-colored light condensed from the magic staff in the Elemental Elf Queen’s hand, and then directly shot toward the chest of the Corpse-limb King in front of her.

At this time, the Dark Elf Queen at the side also attacked at the same time.

The Dark Elf Queen waved her hands, and large amounts of pitch-black plants quickly extended from her palms, forming a huge plant palm in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the huge Corpse-limb King in front wanted to use his hands to block the Elemental Elf Queen’s attack once again.

However, the huge plant palm condensed by the Dark Elf Queen was the first to arrive. It directly pulled the huge Corpse-limb King’s arm and broke it apart.

Following that, the seven-colored light shot out from the Elemental Elf Queen’s magic staff and directly entered one of the heads on the Corpse-limb King’s chest.

Following a muffled sound, the head on the Corpse-limb King’s chest that had been hit directly let out a mournful cry. Following that, it was quickly destroyed by the seven-colored light.

This head was directly destroyed.
