"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Boom! Boom!
In the void, six figures were fighting fiercely. Loud noises were heard one after another, spreading out from the center of the fighting position of both sides.
Wang He alone stopped the clone of Emperor Corpse Wood, while Yang Qi and the other two were besieging the real body of Emperor Corpse Wood. Facing the siege of Yang Qi and the other two, Emperor Corpse Wood was almost completely crushed.
After a fierce fight, Emperor Shimu felt his own condition, and the despair on his face became even stronger, "The source of life is running out."
Although he transformed himself into a nearly corpse puppet, the Corpse Wood Emperor still had vitality and life essence, otherwise he would not be able to improve his cultivation level through practice. Therefore, facing the fierce attacks of Yang Qi and the other two, his vitality and life essence would continue to be consumed, and after fighting until now, there was not much left.
Emperor Shimu looked at Yang Qi who was coming to kill him again, and said unwillingly, "I never thought that I would die here. I am really unwilling. If I were given some more time, maybe I could research a way to help the corpse puppets improve their cultivation level through practice."
It is a recognized fact in the endless universe that puppets cannot improve their cultivation level through practice, but this is also a constraint that puppet practitioners want to break, just like a peak Martial Emperor wants to surpass the Martial Emperor realm and achieve the Martial Saint realm.
The reason why Emperor Shimu created an army of corpse puppets was not simply to enhance his own strength, but he was also looking for a way to allow the puppets to practice. He even transformed himself into a being that was almost a corpse puppet for this reason.
However, over the years, although Emperor Shimu had made more and more achievements in the art of corpse puppets, he had never been able to improve the puppets' cultivation through practice. After all, this was a fact recognized by the endless universe. Anything that was recognized by the endless universe was extremely difficult to break.
When Yang Qi heard this, he sneered and said, "You have already embarked on the path of a demon. Even if you really research a way to let the puppet improve its cultivation level, you will not be able to escape death."
For his own selfishness, he killed countless lives and refined corpse puppets. Such a cultivator is already an evil demon and should be killed! Even if the Corpse Wood Emperor does not escape today, other cultivators will take on the task of exorcising demons in the future. Even the Dragon Clan and the entire demon beast clan will not let him go. The Corpse Wood Emperor will still have no choice but to die.
"Demon?"
Emperor Shimu sneered and continued, "When I first came into contact with corpse puppets, other practitioners avoided me like a tiger. There were even practitioners who claimed to be righteous and wanted to kill me. I just chose a special path of practice, but they are so hostile to me. The reason why I killed other creatures and refined an army of corpse puppets is also due to the fault of you so-called righteous people!"
"Everything is your own choice. There is no evil path, only evil practitioners!" Yang Qi said calmly.
The Corpse Puppet Sect also follows the path of corpse puppets, but is recognized by the cultivation community in the Zhenwu Star Domain. On the other hand, the Corpse Wood Emperor became a demon. There may be certain environmental reasons for this, but it is more of a choice made by the Corpse Wood Emperor himself. It was he who chose to embark on the path of a demon, so it is not the fault of other practitioners.
"What a practitioner who is only evil!"
Emperor Shimu laughed loudly, and then his aura began to become violent. He said madly, "Even if I die, I will not let my body fall into your hands, and I will not let you have an easy life!"
Boom!
As the Corpse Wood Emperor finished speaking, his clone and his original body exploded at the same time, and the terrifying might swept out with the positions of his original body and clone as the center.
Buzz~Buzz~
The two powerful forces overlapped and even though Yang Qi and the other three retreated immediately, under the terrifying aftermath, some of their vitality was lost.
Feeling the remaining death energy in the surrounding space and time, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown, "Such a strong death energy."
Although Emperor Shimu chose to self-destruct, after his death, the death energy he had accumulated dissipated, and the nearby space and time was filled with death energy. If a practitioner with weak strength approached this area, he would be corroded by the death energy.
With the death of Emperor Corpse Wood, those unconscious corpse puppets quickly dissipated. Seeing this scene, Wang He and the other two on the side couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment on their faces.
"Emperor Shimu left special methods on these corpse puppets. Once he dies, these corpse puppets will be annihilated. It's a pity to have so many corpse puppets." Emperor Yanque said with regret.
You have to know that in addition to the corpses of practitioners, some materials for refining puppets are also needed to refine corpse puppets. However, compared with refining puppets, the resources required are much less. Even if the owner is dead, if these corpse puppets are preserved, they are also a huge fortune. As a result, the Corpse Wood Emperor destroyed these corpse puppets, which means that Yang Qi and others lost a harvest.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi said calmly, "These corpse puppets were made by the Corpse Wood Emperor by killing weak practitioners. It is better to destroy them like this. They can finally rest in peace."
Yang Qi doesn't care that much about some special resources obtained through evil means. Firstly, these resources have great side effects, and secondly, he can't get over it with his own heart.
"Selling the corpses of practitioners, especially those of weak practitioners, is indeed against our status, so it is better to destroy them like this." Wang He nodded slightly, and then spoke again, "Although the corpse puppet is destroyed, the Taoist soldiers in the puppet's hands are still there."
You should know that the number of corpse puppets under the command of Emperor Shimu exceeds four digits, and there are nearly a thousand Taoist soldiers, some of which are special weapons comparable to Taoist soldiers. Although most of them are low-grade Taoist soldiers, there are enough of them, and there are also some middle- and upper-grade Taoist soldiers among them, and their value can be imagined.
This is also the reason why the three men in gorgeous clothes had tried to snatch this demon-killing mission before, because the rewards from killing the Corpse Wood Emperor are more than those from killing an ordinary six-star Martial Emperor.
As soon as these words were spoken, a smile immediately appeared on the faces of Emperor Qingsong and Emperor Yanque, and then the four of them began to clean up the battlefield.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Qi and his three companions counted and found that there were more than 500 low-grade Taoist weapons, more than 100 medium-grade Taoist weapons, dozens of high-grade Taoist weapons, and nearly 10 top-grade Taoist weapons. These were just the Taoist weapons, there were also some other gains, the total value was even higher.
These gains were several times more than what he had gained from killing the Witch Emperor. At this moment, Yang Qi also clearly understood why the demon-killing mission was so attractive, because once the demon-killing mission was successfully completed, the gains would be incomparably huge.
