Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

With these twelve Steel Plate corpses, he could deal with any regular daemons as easily as winking. The reason why the Lone Grave Elder had not summoned them from the very beginning was because Steel Plate corpses were not particularly useful against a Daemon General, and it was very easy for them to be corroded and get destroyed by the gas. Now that Li Qingshan was trying to destroy his very lifeblood, he immediately unleashed all the strength he had.

The Steel Plate corpses lunged over together. Li Qingshan frowned. He could sense that the corpse qi of the Ancient Bronze Corpse General below his feet had been scattered many times already, but it had not sustained any fatal damage.

If he used the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell, it would obviously resolve the issue temporarily, but the Ancient Bronze Corpse General would be able to break free too, which would free up the Lone Grave Elder to save the Green Vine Elder. He needed to make time for Milliped.

Li Qingshan grabbed a Steel Plate corpse and stabbed its throat with his thumb. His sharp, tiger claw forcefully pierced the steel plating and black corpse qi leaked out. The Steel Plate corpse immediately crumbled and stopped moving like a broken rag doll, which Li Qingshan tossed aside.

However, the other Steel Plate corpses used this opportunity to throw themselves on Li Qingshan. Some climbed onto his shoulders and attacked his ears, some bit his neck while others grabbed his legs. They all tried to limit his movements so that the Ancient Bronze Corpse General could break free.

Li Qingshan felt like a tree covered with monkeys. He extended his hand, but the Steel Plate corpses could climb to another part of his body nimbly to make trouble. His entire body itched and pricked with pain, but the Steel Plate corpses struggled to rip through his ox hide that was a hundred times tougher than the steel plates.

Even with that being the case, the Steel Plate corpses still caused Li Qingshan quite the trouble. It was a pity that Xiao An was not here, or these Steel Plate corpses would be easily dealt with. Originally, he had Xiao An hide underground so that she could lead a coordinated attack with him at a critical moment and deal a crucial blow to the enemy.

However, after the violent collisions and the destruction from the Ox Demon Tramples, the caves in the pit had completely collapsed, now buried under thousands of tonnes of rock. It basically destroyed the starting point of the Herb Gathering ceremony for good. Xiao An was trapped below as well, so she was unable to provide any assistance for now.

The Lone Grave Elder also saw how the Steel Plate corpses could not be defeated by Li Qingshan immediately. A small, bone sceptre appeared in his hand; it had a small skull on the tip. He swung it around, and the eye sockets of the skull unleashed a streak of red light.

Li Qingshan felt a strong sense of danger. He did not want to experience the full-powered strike of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but if he used the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell and let the zombie beneath him break free, the situation would only worsen. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

A Steel Plate corpse stood in front of Li Qingshan. It just happened to be in the path of the red light. Half of the Steel Plate corpse had melted away silently and instantly.

The Lone Grave Elder was surprised. All the Steel Plate corpses were under his control, so why did one appear out of nowhere?

A black hole had appeared in the ground at a certain time. The Steel Plate corpse had emerged from there.

Under Xiao An’s command as the vice leader, the boulder viper had used its burrowing abilities to create a deep hole. However, getting the daemons to partake in this battle would be impossible.

Two skulls emerged and sprayed flames at Li Qingshan.

The Lone Grave Elder was surprised. He became even more confused whether the arriving person was an ally or an enemy.

Li Qingshan did not avoid it. Like taking a shower, he allowed the flames to wash over him. Wherever the flames passed by, the Steel Plate corpses all collapsed. The flames then extended towards the Ancient Bronze Corpse General below Li Qingshan’s feet, but it was stopped by a layer of black corpse qi.

The Ancient Bronze Corpse General experienced a great sense of threat and struggled even more desperately.

The Lone Grave Elder sensed how his connection with all the Steel Plate corpses had been severed. His expression changed as he called out, “Where be the wretched daemon? Show your true form!”

Red light flashed through the eyes of the Steel Plate corpses, and they all stood up, turning around and lunging at the Lone Grave Elder.

A chill ran down the Lone Grave Elder’s back. Through all the years he had spent cultivating, he had never seen such a strange sight before. If the zombies that had to be refined with so much effort could be stolen so easily, why would refining corpses still be a thing in the world? He wondered what the fire was, seeing how it was capable of something like this.

As the Lone Grave Elder retreated, scarlet light shot out from his sceptre and struck three Steel Plate corpses. Most of them immediately melted away, but fire immediately sprang up around the corpses, merging them into the skull.

The Lone Grave Elder was pained. Refining these Steel Plate corpses had not been easy. Never did he think there would be a day when he would have to destroy them with his own hands. Black mist surged beneath his feet and pulled him into the air. All the Steel Plate corpses missed him.

Kicking hard, they leapt high into the air and touched the black cloud, but they were unable to fly, so they fell back down.

At this moment, the two Skull Prayer Beads became even larger. They flew around and collected all the Steel Plate corpses before rushing towards the Lone Grave Elder. They were like two carrier ships.

Li Qingshan knew very well that just his and Xiao An’s strength was definitely not enough to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but all they needed to do was keep them busy and make time for Milliped to kill one of them. Afterwards, they could defeat the others one by one. Even if they could not kill all of them, at least they could leave easily.

Only a thin layer of withered wood remained around the Green Vine Elder. He called out, “Please save me!” This time, he was not talking to the Golden Pheasant Elder and the Lone Grave Elder.

“Daemons run amuck and bring strife to this world. Fu Qingjin of the Sword Collection palace has specially come to provide assistance, to purge and eliminate daemons.”

A man’s voice suddenly rang out in the sky, but it did not possess the elation and boldness that befitted it. Instead, it was rather indifferent and bored, as if purging daemons did not interest him at all.

Great streaks of green light fell from the sky, enveloping the entire pit.



Time seemed to freeze. An undefeatable power made Li Qingshan’s heart shiver. He looked around and a ruined, abandoned structure grew from the ground, like an illusion yet also realistic.

A green streak of light tore through the sky, like a silent bolt of lightning, yet also like a vicious wound.

Milliped howled out in pain and fell from the air, falling into the ruins heavily. A huge wound appeared on his back as blood flowed out like a stream. Even the toughest part of him, the shell on his back, was unable to stop the power of the green light.

Above the green ruins in the sky, Fu Qingjin stood with his sword as his worn out, green robes ruffled in the wind.

The Green Vine Elder, who had narrowly escaped death, was still shaken. He bowed at the air. “Thank you for saving me, fellow.” The Golden Pheasant Elder and the Lone Grave Elder bowed at him deeply too.

Fu Qingjin’s indifferent gaze scanned past their faces, like a king looking at his useless subjects. The three of them felt like their faces had been stabbed with humiliation as they burnt up.

“This person is so powerful!” Hua Chenglu was overcome with amazement.

“It’s you!” Yu Zijian exclaimed.
