Chapter 961: Chapter 615 Similar Kinds Attract

The words of the Three Corpses God naturally elicited no response from anyone.

The Qi Practitioner known as Ghost Valley had, after all, been completely possessed by the Three Corpses.

No matter how powerful he was during his life, how legendary.

Now, his body had ultimately become the property of the Three Corpses God.

He perished from Cutting Three Corpses, a fact that had already come to pass.

All the protective measures he had arranged before his death – isolating the Dragon Vein and being deeply buried at the bottom of the lake including the Arrays targeting the Three Corpses and more...

...had been rendered mostly ineffective over the span of more than two thousand years, aided by the intervention of the Japanese Extraordinaries.

Now, only the mysterious bronze coffin and the chains inside it were still restraining the Three Corpses God, preventing him from moving more than twenty metres from the coffin.

At that moment, the three Japanese Extraordinaries silently appeared beside the bronze coffin. They were the kimono-clad elderly man, the one-eyed Extraordinary, and an Extraordinary wearing a floral kimono.

They were the three members of the Japanese Extraordinary team who had survived the possession by the Three Corpses.

They shook their heads slowly at the Three Corpses God.

The keys to the vehicles had been taken by Li Changhe and the others, making it impossible to start them.

Even when the one-eyed Extraordinary dismantled the wiring to start one, he quickly got lost on the mountain roads and found himself back where he started.

They were trapped in this valley.

"Qimen, huh?" A confused voice came from the bronze coffin. "Ghost Valley, is this your final measure?"

"No, my lord, this is...the association’s measure," said the kimono-clad elderly man. "They have six Earth Level Extraordinaries, especially that Li Kun. His strength is immensely powerful, having reached the Earth Level Extraordinary rank for over sixty years."

"Hmph, those who do not ascend the Heavenly Road are ultimately nothing but ants."

Then, he stretched out his withered arm and pointed towards a certain area of the forest. Being the Three Corpses of a legendary figure from more than two thousand years ago, he had a profound understanding of the Magical Skills of the Confucians, Daoists, and even the Military Clan.

He immediately spotted the pivotal point of the Qimen Array.

The kimono-clad elderly man nodded slightly; he had received his instructions and would go to sever that pivotal point, breaking through the Qimen barrier.

"Nevertheless, since there are so many Earth Level Extraordinaries, I should take action too," the withered fist clenched slightly, and several golden beans seemed to appear out of nowhere in his palm, falling through the gaps between his fingers to the ground.

....

The association’s plan was to use Qimen Dunjia to delay the opponent’s actions.

Then to send a team composed of several Earth Level Extraordinaries to quickly eliminate the Japanese Extraordinaries who had been possessed by the Three Corpses and to try to kill the Three Corpses God himself.

Currently far from the River Dragon Vein, the opponent’s strength should not be at its peak, according to previous estimates. This was the best opportunity to strike.

It must be said that their plan was very cautious.

To deploy the strongest force directly, and to crush the enemy as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the mute woman was drawing Purification Talismans to prevent teammates from being provoked by the Three Corpses while exterminating the enemy.

Since Earth Level Extraordinaries were involved in the action, any one of them being possessed by the Three Corpses would be an unimaginably great loss.

Take Li Kun for example; if he were to be affected accidentally, no one present would dare claim they could subdue him.

Therefore, everyone needed to carry a Talisman. Once the Talisman began to activate and ignite consumption, they would have to quickly end the battle and withdraw from the Battlefield.

The focus of this battle was not so much on how to kill the enemy efficiently, but rather on how to better protect oneself while eliminating the enemy. Should any problem arise, the team would fall apart without attacking.

At this moment, inside the old temple, everyone was waiting for the drawing of the Talismans.

For safety’s sake, all the Purification Talismans had to be drawn by the Talisman master, the mute woman.

Li Changhe was holding a freshly-made Purification Talisman and examining it. It was inscribed with abstruse characters that, even just holding it in hand, one could feel a power that soothed the heart and mind.

This was a Talisman freshly drawn by the mute woman, and Pan Ke and Zhao Jiu had said before that drawing Talismans required a lot of time and energy.

Similar to storing skills, each talisman is equivalent to an executable Dao technique.

But watching the mute girl stretch out her pale fingers over the paper talisman and wave them through the air, she quickly drew a talisman. And it didn’t look like she was very tired at all.

It seems that this Earth Level Transcendent indeed has unique methods. If she prepared a large number of talismans in advance, she’d simply win by the quantity.

"This time’s teammate is an Earth Level Transcendent, I can rest assured about the strength," Li Changhe thought to himself.

Then he saw the Sword in Wine suddenly frown and say, "One of the Qimen Arrays has been broken. They’ve started to move!"

"So soon?" Li Kun frowned. The Qimen being broken so quickly meant that the other party possessed strong Qimen Gunjia abilities, even though only one was broken.

The remaining arrays probably won’t be able to delay for much longer. Once the enemy breaks through the array and gets close to the River Dragon Vein, it would be bad news.

The convoy was only a dozen or so kilometers away from the nearest river, which was neither far nor close. Without the delay of the arrays, it would be very dangerous.

"No other way, let’s just take action," Li Kun said with a slight shake of his head.

The original plan was to have the mute girl prepare dozens of talismans for each person.

But now there wasn’t enough time.

Soon, the team was ready to set out.

The second and third generation disciples of the Daoist sect stayed at the old temple, setting up arrays.

The mute girl continued to draw talismans there. Master Kongchan, with an extremely strong Defense Force, also stayed to protect the old temple in case of any accident.

As for the others, they were divided into two teams.

Li Changhe, Ghost Hand, Qiu Wentian, and Pan Ke.

Li Kun, Jiang Shenchui, Sword in Wine, Fish Pond Master.

Each person had more than three talismans on them. With the strength of their teams, even if the Three Corpses disturbed them, they could escape the battle before the talismans were used up.

The first team would directly intercept the ones breaking the array, while the second team would continue to set up arrays and clear out any possible Japanese Transcendents they encountered.

Li Kun’s strategy for dividing the teams took many aspects into consideration.

First was Li Changhe’s Celestial techniques.

If one team encountered misfortune and a member was possessed by the Three Corpses, the other team could contain it.

Li Kun even considered the possibility of being possessed himself, so he assigned the Heretic Celestial Li Changhe to the other team.

Moreover, considering that [Players] could communicate with each other, he kept the Fish Pond Master in his own team.

Now, in each team, there was a Daoist Transcendent who could identify the possessed, and a player who could pass messages.

"Everyone, be very careful. If you get possessed by the Three Corpses, we’ll have no choice but to turn our swords against you," Li Kun warned everyone.

Afterward, he gave a few instructions to the disciples and quickly disappeared into the woods with his team members.

Meanwhile, Ghost Hand took the opportunity of Li Kun’s absence to whisper a few words to the mute girl, causing her face to blush.

Then, under the disdainful gaze of the Daoist disciples, he left the old temple with Li Changhe and the others.

"Damn, so Ghost Hand and the mute girl are... in that kind of relationship." Pan Ke was surprised; there was no mention of this in the Association’s records.

"Ha, you can’t see it? These two obviously have a couple’s look. And you know, this guy is definitely suffering from tracheitis!" Li Changhe also retorted with a certain tone.

"Yo, how could you tell?" Pan Ke asked while running.

"I know this one!" Qiu Wentian interjected: "Birds of a feather flock together, just like stand users!"

"Ha, such utter nonsense!" Li Changhe declared, absolutely not... he should not be...

"Hey hey hey, are you really going to discuss this in front of me?" Ghost Hand shouted, frustrated and exasperated.
