These self-cultivators followed the Dried Corpse Elder and chased Qingfeng Li at the Underworld Monarch’s order. Other than the Dried Corpse Elder, they also brought several masters.

But at this moment, ten or so of the masters were terrified and turned pale. Their whole body shuddered and they did not dare to come any closer.

They knew very clear how strong the Dried Corpse Elder was. He was an eighth level spirit monarch realm master and was well-known throughout the cultivation world. Besides, he was a top-tier fighter for thousands of years.

However, when he encountered Qingfeng Li, he was unexpectedly beaten to a meat patty with one hit. The other masters felt that even if they went on to fight, they would surely die.

“We are screwed. Qingfeng Li is far too powerful. His Majesty the Underworld Monarch commanded us to kill Qingfeng Li but I am afraid that we have been sent to our deaths.”

“I didn’t know that Qingfeng Li’s ability was this strong. We are absolutely no match for him. What now?”

“Even the Dried Corpse Elder was killed. Should we run away or stay here?”

Those self-cultivators continued to murmur softly for a while.

At that very moment, the self-cultivators in the back looked at Qingfeng Li full of terror. They did not dare to attack Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li did not look at them, instead, he landed his sight on the Dried Corpse Elder leading them.

The Dried Corpse Elder was smashed into a meat patty by Qingfeng Li’s Yin-Yang Sky Halberd, but Qingfeng Li knew that Dried Corpse Elder’s soul was not yet dead.

As expected, the next second, a black spiritual nascent soul rushed out from a smashed meat patty. This spiritual nascent soul was the Dried Corpse Elder’s.

The Dried Corpse Elder’s spiritual nascent soul looked at Qingfeng Li horrified. His eyes were full of terror. A second ago, he didn’t think that Qingfeng Li was capable of smashing his body into a meat patty with one hit.

Now, the Dried Corpse Elder had vividly felt Qingfeng Li’s formidability, which he was unequipped to handle. Only His Majesty the Underworld Monarch could fight with Qingfeng Li.

The Dried Corpse Elder’s spiritual nascent soul streaked off like a sharp arrow, entered the void, and tried to escape.

Qingfeng Li said full of disdain, “Do you think you can escape into the void? You’re not going anywhere.”

Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and spat out a streak of golden energy that shot straight forward. It immediately shot open space to reveal the void inside.

“Shu!”

The golden energy shot forward, cut the air open, and mercilessly shot down on the spirit nascent soul of the Dried Corpse Elder.

The next second, a mournful scream came out of the Dried Corpse Elder’s nascent soul. His spirit nascent soul was split in half by Qingfeng Li’s golden energy and then disappeared into the air.

After Qingfeng Li killed the Dried Corpse Elder’s spirit nascent soul, he turned his head and saw tens of self-cultivators that followed. Qingfeng Li waved his hand to form a giant palm and slapped downwards.

Ping~ he smacked the tens of self-cultivators, that had been brought by Dried Corpse Elder, into a bloody fog. They didn’t have a bit strength to fight back and were like crickets and ants under Qingfeng Li’s palm, slaughtered as he wished.

Xue Lin walked to Qingfeng Li as she said, “Honey, your Yin-Yang Sky Halberd is truly powerful. Even an eighth level spirit Monarch Realm master could not defend against its attack.”

Qingfeng Li gave her a weak smile and gently caressed and stroked her hair. “Absolutely. Now the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd has combined both the Sky-Breaking Halberd and the White Spirit Halberd’s power. It has both destruction and light energies. Moreover, it also weighs 20 million kilograms. No ordinary self-cultivator can face it.”

After Qingfeng Li killed Dried Corpse Elder, The Underworld Monarch opened his eyes and released a fiery plume of anger from the depths of the Underworld Necropolis.

The Dried Corpse Elder was his junior fellow apprentice and had practiced cultivation with him for thousands of years. They had been through life and death situations together and they went way back.

Now that the Dried Corpse Elder had died, he had sensed it. In front of him, there was a soul board with the Dried Corpse Elder’s name on it. When Dried Corpse Elder’s soul disappeared in the world, the soul board broke into numerous pieces.

The Underworld Monarch’s eyes puzzled with murderous intentions. He said coldly, “Qingfeng Li, today, I must kill you.”

“All the self-cultivators from the deep side of the Underworld Necropolis listen. All of you go forth and attack Qingfeng Li for me. Whoever can take his head, I will teach the half-step saint level cultivation techniques,” the Underworld Monarch’s voice rose up throughout the deepest part of the Underworld Necropolis.

“Hoooooo…”

Great howls traveled through from below the Underworld Necropolis, some were human self-cultivators’, some were from the mummies, and some were zombies’.

This was a necropolis and also a boneyard, and there were many zombies under the ground. But, they spent most of their time hiding underneath and barely came out. Now, driven by the temptation of being able to have the half-step saint level cultivation techniques, they all walked out from underground, ready to kill Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li heard the howling sounds from the Underworld Necropolis up ahead. Those howls were inhuman as though they came from zombies.

Xue Lin’s forehead tightened with worry. “Honey, should we take a detour?”

Qingfeng Li shook his head, “No we can’t. If we take a detour and go too far, we will waste too much time. Then Ruyan and her daughter will both be in danger. We should go across and whoever dares to be in the way, we will kill.”

Qingfeng Li did not stop but kept going forward with the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd in his hands and Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, and everyone else following behind. They went towards the Underworld Necropolis.

Soon when they entered the border territory of the Underworld Necropolis, their hearts froze. Looking ahead, nothing but a large barren wasteland came into Qingfeng Li’s view.

This barren wasteland was full of dark soil, which was caused by contamination of the black corpse’s breaths. Some white bones of humans rested on top of the soil and many historical figures from throughout the Continent were buried underneath. They were all masters, they and were buried in this Necropolis after they died.

Some of them simply wanted to keep existing and others wanted to extend their lives, some became zombies, and some became monsters, half human half dead.

Qingfeng Li’s face suddenly changed when he saw a zombie approach them from the front. It was a black haired zombie. Dark hair covered its whole body and four razor-sharp teeth filled its mouth. Each tooth was as long as half of a chopstick. Their eyes sparked dark light and crimson red tongues hung slightly out of their mouths. They looked at Qingfeng Li with a smidge of greed.

Those zombies lived in the Underworld Necropolis and were ruled by the Underworld Monarch. When they were still alive, they were all supreme masters above the fifth level of the spirit Monarch Realm, and therefore they became supreme zombies after they died.

If they could get the half-step saint level cultivation technique, they might be able to break through to the saint level. Then, their lives would be prolonged, and they may even be able to leave the Underworld Necropolis, the barren wasteland.

All the zombies listened to the Underworld Monarch’s commands.
