Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

SHIING!

Qin Wuyou’s Blood Spirit Flying Sword transformed into a scarlet streak of light, shooting straight for the armored Refined Corpse!

The bloody light was viscous, its aura flowing like an unfurled banner of blood within the corridor. Everywhere it passed, it left an air of grim, cruel slaughter!

Compared to the average Blood Path Evil Cultivator, Qin Wuyou, who hailed from a righteous sect, had a Blood Spirit Flying Sword untainted by evil. It was filled purely with the killing intent of the Sword Dao!

"ROAR!"

A ferocious glint appeared in the murky, amber-colored pits of the armored Refined Corpse’s eyes.

The armored corpse raised its hand, the long-handled heavy hammer in its grasp stirring up a heavy gust of wind. It swung, striking the bloody light that was aiming for its face!

BANG!

With a deafening crash.

Qin Wuyou’s Blood Spirit Flying Sword was brutally knocked away. It flashed and embedded itself in the corridor wall, vibrating with a hum.

A crack appeared on the Blood Spirit Flying Sword, and its bloody glow dimmed slightly.

’What a powerful monster. Such monstrous strength... Could this Refined Corpse have been a fifth-tier Body Cultivator in life?’ Qin Wuyou’s expression changed as he sensed the damage to his flying sword.

At that moment.

"ROAR!"

The armored Refined Corpse bellowed and strode forward, its elephantine physique wielding the Hexagonal Long-Handled Warhammer like an unstoppable chariot!

It needed no fancy techniques; its unrivaled physique alone generated an extreme sense of pressure!

Faced with the armored Refined Corpse’s charge, Qin Wuyou’s face tightened in alarm. The corridor wasn’t exactly narrow, but it offered very little room to maneuver.

He dual-tasked, recalling his flying sword while his body shot backward in retreat.

"Fellow cultivators, let’s attack together!"

The Golden Core cultivators present were all experienced and battle-hardened. Even before Qin Wuyou spoke, they had already begun activating their techniques, preparing to coordinate.

BZZZT!

"Talisman Light: Six-Wheel Ring!"

Zheng Yunzhe shouted, and six talismans flew out to circle around him.

The six talismans wove together, their energy flowing between them to faintly form an array.

Forming an array from talismans!

Zheng Yunzhe, the Golden Core cultivator from the True Treasure Pavilion, was clearly a master with profound attainments in both the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Arrays!

The six talismans glowed with an icy silver light, and the temperature in the corridor plummeted. A layer of frost and snow formed, spreading across the floor. As the armored Refined Corpse’s feet touched the ice, a thick layer of frost rapidly spread up its legs!

CRACK.

Although breaking free from the Ice Seal wasn’t difficult for the armored Refined Corpse.

But it still took a moment, and its charging speed slowed as a result!

"Nice one, Zheng!"

Feng Shaochai’s voice rang out. He stretched out his hands, and a pair of dazzling twin blades, both Spiritual Treasures, suddenly appeared.

The dazzling twin blades slashed repeatedly, like a violent gale. A dense net of blade-qi, airtight in its coverage, struck out, causing the armored Refined Corpse’s heavy armor to ring out with metallic clangs!

"Feng Shaochai, you’re here too!" Zheng Yunzhe’s expression lifted.

Qin Wuyou, Feng Shaochai, and Zheng Yunzhe—three cultivators whose combat power had reached the late-stage Golden Core realm—joined forces to tie down the armored Refined Corpse.

But it was obvious they were struggling to hold on.

The heavy armor on the Refined Corpse’s surface was simply too tough. Even with the three cultivators going all out, they could only inflict minor damage.

Conversely, a single careless swing of the long-handled heavy hammer in its hands posed a mortal threat to the three of them!

It was a classic case of: ’I can make countless mistakes, but you only need to make one for the game to be over.’ A battle like walking a tightrope was never destined to last long.

Moreover, there was another hidden danger.

The Spiritual Qi in this temple was tainted, preventing the cultivators from absorbing natural Spiritual Qi to restore their Magical Power during battle.

As for taking potions... with such a massive armored Refined Corpse right in their faces, none of the three cultivators believed the thing would let them comfortably and safely take a potion to restore their mana.

’So... we have to seriously wound this beast in a short amount of time, while we’re all still at our peak condition!’

The Golden Core cultivators all realized this, and it was Wu Yiling who proposed a way to achieve it.

"Fellow cultivators, hold on for a bit. I’m going to begin the Array Formation." Wu Yiling’s expression was grave as she took out numerous array flags from her Storage Ring and scattered them around the area.

"Alright."

Qin Wuyou nodded.

Among cultivators of the same realm, the theoretical damage output of an array was the highest.

Using the power of an array to break through the armored Refined Corpse’s defenses was a reasonable method.

Aside from the long and troublesome setup time, there were no other drawbacks.

Besides, with the combined might of three powerful cultivators, they could protect Wu Yiling and allow her to set up the array in peace.

They could still manage to fight this armored Refined Corpse to a standstill for a short period.

But the problem was...

Qin Wuyou hadn’t forgotten the unique characteristic of these ruins.

Besides the present world, there was also a folded space. Su Ye was inside it, with no teammates by his side. He would have to face this armored Refined Corpse all by himself!

’Mr. Su, can he hold on?’

A worried look on his face, Qin Wuyou divided his attention once more, using his Magical Power to inscribe a message on his arm guard as a warning.

[Yehai, regarding our current situation... In short, you must be extremely careful. This beast’s physique is unparalleled and its attacks are terrifying. Do not fight it head-on. Focus on hit-and-run tactics!]

...

「The Dreamscape.」

Gazing at his arm guard, Su Ye read the message from Qin Wuyou and raised an eyebrow.

’An armored Refined Corpse? One made from the body of a fifth-tier Body Cultivator, wielding a long-handled heavy hammer, with swift and unrivaled attacks, plus a suit of armor with peerless defense that can block a flying sword?’

"That’s quite the setup."

Su Ye clicked his tongue in amazement, struck by the implications.

’A fifth-tier Body Cultivator, though? I doubt it. The fifth-tier beings in the Far South Continent are all at the level of gods... This Refined Corpse couldn’t possibly be a god’s corpse, could it?’
