Chapter 333: Chapter 333 Corpse Ghost Army

Originally, Yuan Chengmie had only given Han Liren a bit of guidance, and upon discovering that the latter’s martial arts talent was far from his expectations, he drifted off and no longer cared for this nominal disciple, leaving Han Liren waiting in misery for over a hundred years.

However, being noticed by Yuan Chengmie meant that Han Liren did have some talent, only it seemed lacking by Yuan Chengmie’s standards.

In theory, it wasn’t impossible for Han Liren to rise to the rank of the Ninth King, or even further, to reach the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Yet now Han Liren was only one of the Five Great, partly because of the limitations of the Eastern Fire Continent, and partly because the cultivation technique he practiced was too outdated.

If Shi Hao had to say, Han Liren managing to reach the rank of the Five Great with such a ragged cultivation technique was already a testament to his extraordinary talent.

Now, having Han Liren switch to the Cloudburst Technique, even though it might initially cause his cultivation to regress, would stabilize his foundation, and he would soon experience a surge, easily rising to the rank of the Ninth King.

Even more, he might have a chance to reach the Supplementing Divine Temple.

He looked at Shi Hao, his expression excited, yet he pushed the "Cloudburst Technique" towards Shi Hao, "Junior Brother, this is too precious, I cannot accept it!"

Shi Hao smiled, "Senior Brother, as I just said, you are now our master’s official disciple, naturally, you should start practicing the official cultivation techniques. Take it, I’ve prepared it for you long ago, just didn’t have the chance to give it to you."

Only then did Han Liren accept the manual, his face full of excitement.

Earlier, becoming an official disciple under Shi Hao on behalf of their master was just a nominal recognition, but now being bestowed the "Cloudburst Technique" was a further affirmation, which made him happy.

"There are corpse ghosts up ahead. For now, we have only spotted those from the Other Shore and Soul Nurturing realms, but based on my estimates, there should also be Self-Observation level ones, and their numbers are astonishing," Shi Hao said.

"Corpse ghosts?" Han Liren displayed a look of surprise, as he clearly had never heard of such things.

Well, you’ll see for yourself.

Shi Hao did not elaborate further, merely walking alongside Han Liren.

Soon, the front mounds appeared.

That army was already arrayed neatly, seemingly ready to start a grand battle.

Everyone halted, confronting the army up ahead.

They could no longer advance; the army blocked the essential path, and to move forward would mean an inevitable clash with this army of the deceased—unless the corpse ghosts were peace-lovers.

Clearly, they were bound to undergo a fierce battle next.

"What are these things?"

"Dead bodies?"

"How can dead bodies stand up again?"

"Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Seeing the army of corpse ghosts, everyone was shocked; they had never seen or heard of such beings before.

"Everyone, we are bound to undergo a fierce battle, please give it your all!" As one of the strongest there, Cheng Yang naturally stepped forward to lead everyone.

The people nodded; this was the resolve they had to possess, unless they no longer desired the "treasure."

The four major families spread out, although they had to join forces, there was definitely resentment among them, and forcibly blending them would not only fail to enhance their combat power but might even have adverse effects.

"Charge!"

They moved towards the army of corpse ghosts, and just as they got closer, the army was immediately alerted, turning to look at them.

"Clang!" A corpse ghost drew its sword and pointed it at Shi Hao and the others.

Suddenly, those in the front all drew their swords, similarly pointing angrily at Shi Hao and his group.

The eyes of these corpse ghosts emitted green light; to them, it was a lavish feast.

The battle was about to break out!

The sides met, and then a great battle erupted.

On Shi Hao’s side, there sat five great Founding King Court Almightys—what formidable power was that?

However, they did not take action; instead, they let the younger generation of their families charge to the forefront.

It was an excellent training opportunity.

The Corpse Ghosts had no such scruples—whether you were a grandson of the Founding King Court or a son of the Heaven Building Ladder, they didn’t care. They only thought about consuming flesh and blood, treating everyone the same.

So, in this place, background was useless; there was only fighting with all their might.

Fight, fight, fight; kill, kill, kill!

Except for Shi Hao, none had the Light Spirit Root, so everyone was very unaccustomed to facing these undying Corpse Ghosts.

You might chop off their left hand, but they would still slash at you with their right, feeling nothing!

Unless their heads were blown up, even if only a head remained, they would still bite at you or spew Ghost Fire.

At first, everyone was in disarray, but as they continued fighting, they stabilized their front.

After all, the army of Corpse Ghosts also mainly consisted of Soul Nurturing beings, and with five Founding King Court members pressing the line, it naturally became easier as they fought.

Before long, the army of Corpse Ghosts was completely annihilated, leaving only scattered armor on the ground.

"Haha, these skeleton soldiers aren’t so tough after all!"

"Exactly, it all ended in just a few moments."

"I could fight a hundred more!"

The young ones all boasted valiantly, their confidence skyrocketing after such a flawless victory.

Clang!

In the distance, another wave of Corpse Ghosts pulled out their weapons, pointing them towards the warriors.

Here they come again!

The voices of the people gradually lowered. Another great battle was about to erupt—they couldn’t afford to be careless. Moreover, the previous battle wasn’t as easy as they claimed. Corpse Ghosts could spew Ghost Fire that depleted vital energy and was tremendously harmful. Any living being it touched would be in endless trouble.

If it weren’t for the strong sitting in command, they would never have emerged unscathed and victorious.

Boom, the army charged over, and the battle erupted again.

This time the army of Corpse Ghosts was evidently stronger, but with five great Founding King Court members present, it still ended without much danger.

However, after this round, everyone was utterly exhausted.

Yet, the Corpse Ghosts deployed a third wave of troops.

They clearly used the "sea of corpses" tactic—it didn’t matter if the quality was low, they had the numbers. Wave after wave, they aimed to exhaust the living to death.

This time, even Han Liren and others had to take action. The younger ones were clearly at their limits; to make them fight further would not be training, but outright slaughter.

Boom!

Once the five great powers made a move, it was a sheer pushover; what Corpse Ghost could stand in their way?

With their strength, one could blow away hundreds of Self-Observation level Corpse Ghosts. When the five charged into battle, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. They quickly dispersed the Corpse Ghosts, once again leaving behind scattered armor.

"Woo—"

The horn sounded, ancient and weathered. The ranks of the Corpse Ghost army parted, and atop a giant skeletal warhorse clad in spiked battle armor, a tall warrior slowly advanced.

This warhorse stood three lengths tall, draped in battle armor. Each stomp of its hooves left a circle of Green Fire on the ground.
