Chapter 199 Ambush
The elder remained silent, but glanced at Bai Ke, who nodded knowingly.
"Cough cough, no! Why should we save him? You all know he was just about to lock me up in the dungeon!"
Besides, he was the one who rushed in to deal with those corpses just now. Now that he's in danger because he overestimated his abilities, what does it have to do with us?
The soldiers grew anxious upon hearing this. General Elu was on the verge of death, yet the people from Tiance Palace showed no intention of helping. What should they do?
If Erlu really dies like this, Bai Ke and the others will of course be fine, but they themselves will be the ones to suffer the consequences!
Oh, so they're all alright, but the leading general is dead. That's not a good thing.
So they quickly knelt before the elder and Bai Ke, pleading, "Young Master Bai, we know we were wrong before. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us."
If we have offended you two in any way, we apologize immediately! Even if we cannot save the general, we beg you, Young Master Bai and Elder, to spare our lives.
If the general dies tonight, but we, his men, are still alive and well, the king will not let us off!
"Please, Young Master Bai and Elder, save the General, save us!" After saying this, the group began to kowtow to the two men.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't kneel before us! Get up, get up! I'm afraid your worship will shorten my lifespan! Get up, everyone, get up and talk!"
"Ahem! Bai Ke, go and help General E Lu. Don't let him really die here. Although we won't be in any trouble, it will be hard to explain."
"Yes!" Bai Ke replied. Then he said to the soldiers, "Did you hear that? I'm going to rescue your general right now. None of you need to kneel anymore, honestly!"
"Thank you, Young Master Bai! Thank you, Elder!" After they stood up, the people kept saying to the two of them.
Meanwhile, the disciples were engaged in fierce battle when suddenly Bai Ke shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately withdrew from the battle and retreated to the side. Bai Ke then unleashed a burst of power from his right palm, and a fire dragon instantly flew out, hurtling towards the corpses.
Those corpses were extremely yin and evil, and were most afraid of fire. Moreover, Bai Ke's move directly combined the fire dragon essence in his body with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, so the result was predictable.
When the fire dragon flew towards them, the corpses tried to avoid it but were burned to ashes, leaving only screams that sent chills down the spines of those who heard them.
The corpse that was choking Eru tried to escape, quickly releasing its grip. However, the fire dragon left nothing but ashes in its wake, and its speed was so great that it was impossible to see it clearly.
Zombies are destined to be punished by Heaven, existing neither within the Three Realms nor within the Five Elements. They should have been corpses that died for various reasons, but they became like this because of Li Mu.
The corpse that subdued Elu died under mysterious circumstances, and its malevolent aura was amplified infinitely under Li Mu's stimulation. If given more time, it might even advance to the level of a Corpse King.
The reason Li Mu spent so much time setting up Yin Sha formations in his mansion was partly for self-protection, and partly to accelerate the evolution of the corpse.
Bai Ke himself cultivates the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture, and his spiritual power is extremely strong and yang. He also uses the extremely powerful and fierce Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
If this palm strike lands squarely, then regardless of whether the corpse has a chance to advance to the level of a Corpse King, it will be beaten to death by Bai Ke.
Seeing Bai Ke's palm strike hurtling towards him with overwhelming force, E Lu knew he was doomed and was overcome with grief.
Looking back on her life, she had been loyal to the King of Moyun Kingdom. Even when he suddenly changed his temperament and began to provoke Tian Ce Palace, she still did her best to help him.
But now that he has fallen into this world, the one who saved him is actually the "enemy" who had fought him to the death before.
The hardships involved are probably too numerous to explain in just a few words.
Bai Ke didn't care what E Lu was thinking. In his eyes, the corpse that had broken free from the Sixth Prince's control was no different from E Lu.
Forcefully channeling his palm energy towards the zombie, the fire dragon, aided by Bai Ke's spiritual power, became even more unstoppable.
Under the pressure of life and death, the zombie tried its best to dodge Bai Ke's palm strike, and even resisted the urge to bite the food in its hand to death, holding it horizontally in front of it.
He secretly moved back, as if he were about to run away at any moment, and a strange look flashed in the eyes of the elder watching the battle.
"Elder? This zombie seems to have gained a sliver of consciousness? Should we still destroy it completely?" Bai Ke also noticed something was wrong with the zombie and stopped his palm strike, asking the elder.
As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen only see the spectacle. Those who noticed Bai Ke's ability to control his palm strikes with ease couldn't help but show a hint of shock in their eyes.
They had previously thought that Bai Ke was just a disciple randomly sent out by Tian Ce Palace, but now it seems they need to adjust their assessment of the young disciples of Tian Ce Palace.
If this was just an ordinary disciple, would they gouge out his eyes and use them as light bulbs? Could just anyone control such a powerful palm strike so easily?
After pondering for a while, the elder from Tian Ce Palace transmitted his voice to Bai Ke in a low voice and said, "Nephew Bai, you know the mission I came here for. In principle, I cannot say anything."
My previous appearance to support you regarding the ancient cultivator's cave was already against the rules. Now, I expect you to resolve this yourself. Do you understand?
He stared intently at Bai Ke, his gaze deep and unfathomable. Bai Ke understood immediately after one glance that this elder was probably using the resolution of the Mo Yun Kingdom incident as a form of personal training.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Xiu, who was unconscious. This unlucky kid had really played his hand terribly this time.
Bai Ke could sense that this elder was subjectively biased towards Lin Xiu; otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up immediately after Lin Xiu was injured.
Now he says he's supporting Bai Ke and the others, but that's just talk. However, even if he's biased towards Lin Xiu, this elder has no choice but to support Bai Ke now.
Seeing Lin Xiu squander his good fortune and now become completely invisible, Bai Ke felt quite bitter.
Although he considers himself a major villain, Tian Ce Palace is ultimately his core asset. As long as he doesn't dismantle it, Bai Ke still wants to do his best to maintain good relationships with his subordinates.
It's a pity that Lin Xiu, that unlucky kid, has been completely corrupted by his father, repeatedly ruining his plans. Now even the elders who were originally on his side no longer have any hope for him. What a waste of his life.
