Immortals Step into Heaven

The two of them collided instantly, and there was a loud "bang" sound, as if thunder had exploded. The air waves spread out in all directions, blowing the surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones into the air. Li Xiuyun nervously watched the battle from the side, ready to support Zheng Yuan at any time. The remaining four disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect saw this, looked at each other, and surrounded Li Xiuyun in a fan shape, laughing sinisterly, "Little beauty, you'd better come with us obediently." Li Xiuyun's eyebrows were raised, and she shouted, "Wishful thinking!" Suddenly, a flying sword of the best magic weapon appeared in her hand,

The flying sword blazed brightly, streaking across the sky like a meteor, piercing the approaching Corpse Refining Sect disciple. This flying sword was Li Xiuyun's prized magical weapon, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud. Seeing this, the four Corpse Refining Sect disciples dispersed, attempting to evade the flying sword's attack from different directions and outflank it. One of the disciples rapidly formed hand seals, summoning several rotting zombies and driving them towards Li Xiuyun.

Li Xiuyun calmly controlled her flying sword and attacked the zombies. Each swing of the sword severed a zombie's limbs, sending green corpse fluid splattering onto the ground with a sizzling, corrosive sound. However, the zombies were numerous and fearless, constantly surging forward, gradually straining Li Xiuyun's strength.

On the other side, Zheng Yuan was fighting fiercely with the leading disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect. Zheng Yuan used the stick technique of the Thirteen Sticks of the North Sea. The North Sea Stick seemed to have life in his hand, and it could be picked, swept, or stabbed. The shadow of the stick was heavy, covering the disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect. But the disciple's long sword was also extremely strange. The corpse energy continued to erode Zheng Yuan's stick power. With every collision, a cold force came along the North Sea Stick and attacked Zheng Yuan, making his arm slightly numb. Zheng Yuan was secretly alert in his heart, knowing that he could not have contact with this corpse energy for a long time, otherwise it would inevitably affect his combat effectiveness. So he shouted, and the spiritual power in his body circulated crazily. The light on the North Sea Stick instantly increased several times, forcibly dispelling the surrounding corpse energy, and then attacked the opponent at a faster speed, determined to make a quick decision.

Seeing Zheng Yuan's sudden, unstoppable attack, the Corpse Refining Sect disciple didn't dare to take it head-on, instead retreating gracefully. He wielded his long sword with both hands, creating strange runes in the air while muttering something. In an instant, the surrounding corpse energy gathered like a vortex, forming a massive barrier. Zheng Yuan's North Sea Staff struck the barrier, sending only ripples of corpse energy, but it proved difficult to penetrate.

At this moment, the pressure on Li Xiuyun intensified. Despite her fierce resistance, the four Corpse Refining Sect disciples worked in perfect harmony, and the zombies kept coming. Although her flying sword slew many zombies, her own spiritual energy was rapidly depleting. Suddenly, a Corpse Refining Sect disciple, seizing the opportunity, cast a large black net. The net instantly expanded and enveloped Li Xiuyun. Li Xiuyun was unable to dodge and was caught in the net, unable to move.

Zheng Yuan glimpsed Li Xiuyun trapped, his heart aching. He knew that if they couldn't break free quickly, both of them would be in dire straits. He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, and poured his spiritual power into the Beihai Staff without reservation. The Beihai Staff hummed with a powerful hum, its shaft gleaming so brightly that it was impossible to look directly at it. Zheng Yuan leaped high, grasping the Beihai Staff with both hands and striking out six shadows. He brought down the corpse qi barrier with the force of a mountain, shouting, "Break it!"

With Zheng Yuan's powerful strike, the six stick shadows, carrying immense magical power, slammed fiercely into the corpse qi barrier. A resounding explosion shook the entire space, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the corpse qi barrier. The raging corpse qi was dispersed by the powerful impact.

The four Corpse Refining Sect disciples were shocked upon seeing this. They hadn't expected Zheng Yuan to unleash such formidable power. They had originally thought that after trapping Li Xiuyun, capturing Zheng Yuan would be a piece of cake, but now they no longer dared to underestimate him.

Li Xiuyun, who was covered by the black net, could not move her body, but her eyes were full of anxiety and expectation. She hoped that Zheng Yuan's attack could completely break the deadlock so that both of them could escape from this dangerous situation.

After Zheng Yuan's attack, he did not stop. Taking advantage of the cracks in the corpse gas barrier, he mobilized his spiritual power again and prepared to launch a second round of attack. He knew that he had to break through the barrier in one go, otherwise, by the time the other party recovered, they would really have no chance of survival.

With Zheng Yuan's full force, the Beihai Stick's shadow whistled towards the corpse qi barrier like a violent storm. Under the continuous impact of the stick's shadow, the cracks in the barrier spread and widened rapidly, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

Seeing the situation was dire, the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect hurriedly commanded their zombies to intercept Zheng Yuan. Instantly, several zombies, claws and fangs bared, lunged at him, a foul stench filling his face. But Zheng Yuan, fearless at this moment, plunged through the horde of zombies, his Beihai staff wielding impenetrable energy. Each strike carried the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, sending the approaching zombies repelling one after another.

Thanks to Zheng Yuan's tireless efforts, the corpse energy barrier finally collapsed with a bang. The powerful impact sent the surrounding zombies flying, and the four Corpse Refining Sect disciples were also thrown to the ground. Zheng Yuan seized the opportunity to rush towards Li Xiuyun, who was trapped by the black net. With a swing of the Beihai Staff in his hand, a stream of spiritual energy slashed out, tearing the black net apart.

After Li Xiuyun escaped, she looked at Zheng Yuan with gratitude. The two stood side by side, ready to face the counterattack of the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect and the remaining zombies. At this time, Zheng Yuan's magic power had been depleted by half, but his eyes remained firm. He gripped the Beihai Stick tightly and said to Li Xiuyun, "Xiuyun, even if you try your best today, you can't let them succeed." Li Xiuyun nodded slightly, and the flying sword in her hand flashed with cold light again.

Together with Zheng Yuan, they stood ready. After the Corpse Refining Sect disciples regained their composure, their faces filled with fury. They exchanged glances, then muttered something. The zombies that had been blown away slowly climbed to their feet, their corpse aura growing stronger, their movements becoming more agile and ferocious.

A disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect shouted, leading the zombie swarm towards Zheng Yuan and Li Xiuyun like a tide. Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, channeling his magical power into the Beihai Staff. The staff shone with light, and he charged towards the zombies, each swing laced with determination, attempting to use offense as defense, creating openings for Li Xiuyun to strike.

Li Xiuyun understood what he meant. She controlled the flying sword to draw graceful arcs in the air. Wherever the flying sword passed, the corpse qi was cut apart. Several zombies were instantly cut in two by the flying sword.
