Chapter 94 Facing Danger
Who is your enemy?
As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, she felt Hu Jiu subtly nudge her elbow. She instantly snapped out of it and immediately explained, her face pale, "Senior, I... I was just curious. I didn't mean to pry into your secrets."
Xia Xue remained as kind as before.
"This isn't exactly a secret. You've all probably heard that I extinguished the Netherfire, and the one hiding in this ancient tomb is none other than the leader of the Netherfire, the Nether Master."
This time, before Yang Rui could react, Hu Jiuxian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"What? A master of the underworld? The legendary master of the underworld who is invincible below Xuanzong?"
Xia Xue really didn't know that the Underworld Master had such a prestigious title, and shook her head with a smile.
"That's a bit of an exaggeration."
If the Underworld Master is invincible below the Xuan Sect, then what is she, who has only recently become a Xuan Master and has already suppressed him and forced him to use even forbidden techniques?
A half-step Xuanzong expert? Haha…
Of course, Xia Xue herself was also confused about whether the Qi Sea Realm was considered a Xuan Master.
However, it can be confirmed that both are indeed the second major realm of cultivation.
Probably, pretty much.
As a member of the Xuanmen sect, Hu Jiu naturally understood the terror and power of the Underworld Master even more.
The fat man is just a martial artist; he's from a different circle and his knowledge is limited.
Although Yang Rui comes from a family of cultivators, she was always an ordinary person before, and her focus was different. She had no clear understanding of the strength of a Netherworld Master.
Only then did Hu Jiu truly take the senior in front of him seriously.
"Could this person really be... Xuanzong?"
Although levitation is a hallmark of the Xuan Sect, Hu Jiu, who came from a declining Xuan cultivation force, still had some knowledge and knew that many Xuan masters with a solid foundation could actually do this.
As for spatial supernatural abilities, they are not exclusive to the Xuanzong sect, so they cannot be used as a basis for judging whether someone belongs to the Xuanzong sect.
In this era of Xuanzong's seclusion, even if Hu Jiu guessed that the other party was very strong, he did not dare to think of Xuanzong at once.
Xia Xue's spiritual sense swept over and heard Hu Jiu's thoughts, and she shook her head inwardly.
This Hu Jiu really has a vivid imagination.
Yang Rui's guess was accurate.
She did indeed possess such great strength because of her cultivation techniques and mystical arts.
By the way, after the sea of consciousness is opened, the mind-reading ability bypasses the first limitation. It is no longer necessary to point the center of the forehead at someone and lock onto them before it can read their mind.
It can read minds as long as one's spiritual sense scans through them, and it has even broken the limit on the number of times one can do so.
Now she can read the minds of three people at the same time with only slight pressure.
It would take about twenty people to reach her limit at this point.
"Hmm, the feng shui formation has experienced such a large fluctuation?"
Xia Xue's expression immediately turned serious.
"What's the cultist up to now?"
Xia Xue's heart stirred, and she used the Source Tracing Technique to check on the condition of the Underworld Master.
"Dead?"
Even if it's a forbidden technique, he shouldn't have died so quickly.
Suddenly, Xia Xue noticed something, and her expression changed.
"Damn it, the Underworld Master used forbidden techniques again to help the Silver Corpse break free from the shackles of the Feng Shui formation."
The Underworld Master is truly ruthless.
They went to such lengths to deal with her.
He truly deserves to be called a renowned and powerful figure in the world of cultivation.
……
A violent, dark, and explosive energy surge rose rapidly from underground and reached the surface almost instantly.
The silver corpse stood in mid-air, taking a deep breath with a look of ecstasy. Its red eyes, gleaming with excitement, surveyed the ordinary flowers, plants, and trees around it.
"Is this the world of later generations?"
However, the silver corpse quickly sensed something, its expression hardened, and it said in a deep voice.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world is too scarce."
The silver corpse murmured, as if thinking of something:
"Has the world truly entered the Dharma-ending Age, as the Grand Preceptor predicted?"
Silver Corpse snorted coldly.
Although he has made little progress, there is some good news.
"The cultivation of monks in this era will only become more difficult."
Zombies are immortal beings; they have plenty of time to wait until the end of the Dharma era.
"But those short-lived human cultivators don't have that fate."
Just like the imperial advisor back then, now the grass on his grave is probably several feet deep.
"Ha ha."
The silver corpse sensed the only person who posed a threat to him and suddenly turned to look at Xia Xue, who was also standing in mid-air. Sensing the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from her, it scoffed softly.
"Although your technique of concealing your aura is very powerful, you do not possess the aura of the Xuanzong Sect. You are not a Xuanzong Sect member at all."
Now he was even more confident.
"Your ability to levitate must be an innate supernatural power, right?"
Innate supernatural powers are what we now call supernatural abilities.
It's just that times have changed, and so have the way of saying it.
……
"This silver corpse has actually regained its senses?"
Master of the Underworld, what exactly are you doing?
Not only did it help the silver corpse escape its predicament, it also helped the silver corpse regain its senses.
Aren't you afraid that this will cause him to commit endless bloodshed?
Xia Xue scanned the area with her spiritual sense and became on high alert.
……
The silver corpse sensed the sweeping spiritual energy and frowned slightly.
"There is a trace of something in your consciousness that I find extremely repulsive."
The silver corpse continued talking to itself, oblivious to everyone else.
"Very well, now I have another reason to kill you."
As he spoke, the silver corpse flashed and rushed towards Xia Xue at a speed far exceeding the sight of ordinary people.
……
From the moment the silver corpse appeared, Hu Jiu and the other two were so frightened that they dared not move, trying their best to minimize their presence.
"This is a Silver Corpse, equivalent to the Silver Corpse of a Xuanzong expert."
Hu Jiu, who came from the tomb raiding lineage, once explained to Fatty and Yang Rui the types and levels of zombies.
The walking corpse corresponds to a martial artist with both visible and hidden strength.
The Iron Corpse corresponds to the Grandmaster of Transformation and the Mystic Master.
The bronze corpse corresponds to the Dan Jin Martial King and the Xuan Master.
The silver corpse corresponds to Emperor Xuanzong.
As for those above the Silver Corpse level, even Hu Jiu himself didn't know. He only vaguely knew that the next level was the Gold Corpse, but the Gold Corpse hadn't appeared for over a thousand years.
Even the Silver Corpse hasn't appeared for hundreds of years.
Hu Jiu never imagined that they would encounter a silver corpse while they were in the tomb.
He thought that the Iron Corpse had reached its limit.
In this degenerate age, the probability of encountering a bronze corpse is about the same as winning the lottery.
Not to mention the Silver Corpse, which hasn't appeared for hundreds of years.
When the silver corpse spoke, Hu Jiu was even more shocked.
"Or is it the legendary Silver Corpse that has regained its senses?"
What's going on?
Do we really have to go this far?
Even if a silver corpse of this caliber has just been born, its strength would rank in the middle to upper range among silver corpses.
After all, having sanity and not having sanity are two completely different concepts.
The fat man had lost his composure and his carefree smile disappeared.
Even knowing it was impossible, he still made a gesture as if he could unleash his full power at any moment.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Even if it means death, I will bite off a piece of your flesh.
Yang Rui trembled instinctively.
I don't know if it was from fear or excitement.
……
For the three of them, the silver corpse was an irresistible natural disaster.
However, for Xia Xue, they are opponents she must take seriously.
Xia Xue's expression became more resolute than ever before, and the fighting spirit deep in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"I didn't want to go through all that trouble with this pointless battle, but since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
Xia Xue mobilized all the energy in her Blood Sea and poured it into her Qi Sea, transforming it into True Essence. Almost simultaneously, she transferred all the True Essence in her Qi Sea to her Consciousness Sea, transforming it into the Flame of the Nether Phoenix.
"Although the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong does not have corresponding offensive and defensive techniques and supernatural powers, it does have methods to temporarily enhance one's strength."
Refining essence into qi, tempering qi into spirit, using spirit to control the phoenix, breaking through limits to emerge.
"Hey!"
A phoenix cry emanated from Xia Xue's body, and a phoenix engulfed in dark blue flames instantly flew out, transforming into a blur as it met the onrushing silver corpse.
