Starforce Warriors

There was an issue with cultivation. She had died once. It was a complete understatement, but Li Xiaofei could sense an earth-shattering weight in those calm words.

He held the girl in his arms tightly. Even though she had become half-human and half-ghost, he still wanted to use his chest to give her warmth.

Tan Qingying looked exceedingly strange. The right side of her body was unchanged, but the left side of her body was onyx black. It was like the darkest inks in the world had soaked through every cell of her body.

Moreover, her obsidian half had grown a thick, leathery layer of keratin scales. Even her palms were no exception. Her fingernails had elongated to become as sharp as blades. They were now half black and half white. It almost seemed like a chaotic form of inverted yin and yang. When she smiled, even the teeth on her left side were black.

Li Xiaofei soon understood how it had happened. After the Yiggs had invaded, Xiajing City had not taken long to reach the verge of collapse. The city's soldiers and manpower were under heavy strain as the star beast hordes assaulted the city waves like a relentless tide. In less than a month, Xiajing City’s defensive forces were on the brink of collapse. Tan Qingying had no choice but to defy the world's moral standards and use her bloodline abilities.

She used the corpse-controlling technique to summon fallen soldiers, martial artists, and star beasts to hold back the relentless hordes of star beasts. This had significantly alleviated the pressure on Xiajing City. However, the Yiggs came up with a countermeasure.

Somehow, the star beasts that died could no longer be controlled by the corpse-controlling technique, which weakened Tan Qingying’s advantage. To make matters worse, a sudden wave of public criticism arose within the city. The method of using the corpses of fallen martial artists for battle was criticized by some self-proclaimed moralists within the city.

Rumors spread like wildfire among the people, labeling her a witch, a demoness, a calamity, and the root of all disaster. Some even petitioned the government to expel this corpse controller.

Since the dead star beasts could no longer be controlled, and the number of corpses could not keep pace with the rate of their consumption, Xiajing City faced mounting pressure once again.

So Tan Qingying decided to risk it all by venturing beyond the city walls to subdue the Corpse Emperor. Using the Corpse Emperor’s lair as a base, she controlled zombies, collected the bodies of fallen warriors from both sides, and continuously expanded her undead army.

But as the number of controlled corpses grew, it exceeded the limits of her corpse-controlling technique. Tan Qingying suffered a backlash from the corpse energy, and transformed into something that was half-human and half-corpse.
