Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Subjugation

Upon seeing the imposing figure before him, Lin Yu instantly tensed up. Gauntlets from his ring appeared in an instant and gripped his hands tightly. Wisps of flame, guided by Lin Yu, ignited fiercely around him.

Upon seeing the figure ahead, the Snow White Wolf King seemed to intensify the flames that had been burning on its back.

However, the old shaman stood like an old tree opposite the thousand-year-old corpse king, his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the corpse king in front of him, without the slightest bit of tension.

The Corpse King had been sealed here for countless years. Now that he had broken free of the seal, he was undoubtedly excited. As soon as he landed, he looked at the man and wolf around him, as well as that illusory figure.

His eyes swept over Lin Yu, who was dressed in training clothes, without lingering for long. Clearly, Lin Yu posed little threat to the Corpse King, and the Corpse King automatically ignored Lin Yu's presence.

His gaze shifted to the giant wolf beside Lin Yu. The snow-white giant wolf, seeing the Corpse King's gaze on it, let out a low growl, baring its ferocious teeth and glaring fiercely at the Corpse King. The Corpse King only glanced at the giant wolf once more before shifting his gaze as well.

Finally, the Corpse King fixed his gaze on the phantom in front of him. He originally thought this phantom was the weakest, but when his gaze actually moved on this phantom, the Corpse King was obviously stunned for a moment, because he felt something from the phantom that the former two did not have: an aura of pressure, a pressure that came from the trembling of the soul.

At this moment, the Corpse King had no thoughts, only a simple judgment of the surrounding things, whether there was anything that could pose a threat to him. After the Corpse King broke the seal and made a simple judgment of the surrounding things, he was obviously shocked. His first reaction after looking at the phantom was fear.

Before being sealed, the Corpse King possessed the strength of the Bone Transformation Realm. Although his strength had diminished, he still retained his dignity and let out a roar, "Woohoo!"

As the Corpse King roared, Lin Yu clearly felt a gust of wind approaching, and the surrounding flames flickered. Lin Yu burned the surrounding fire elements with all his might to prevent the flames from going out.

Only the phantom stood there motionless, its gaze fixed intently on the Corpse King.

After roaring, the Corpse King moved, its dense green fur whistling in the cold wind. From any angle, the Corpse King always gave people a sense of eeriness.

The Corpse King had already reached the phantom, with a distance of about two zhang between them. However, the old shaman did not move. Instead, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for the Corpse King to make his move.

Sure enough, the Corpse King made his move. He slowly extended his right arm, and a ball of emerald light flashed from his arm. As soon as the emerald light appeared, the area was enveloped in emerald green. At this moment, the giant wolf was no longer snow-white, but its whole body was covered in a layer of emerald green, including Lin Yu.

As if sensing something, the old shaman slowly opened his eyes. The instant he opened his eyes, two beams of black light shone upon the thousand-year-old corpse king. The corpse king shrank slightly from the sudden light, and the tremor came from within.

"Lin Yu, you must watch carefully how I subdue the Corpse King, especially the combat technique I use. You must memorize this technique once you reach the sixth level of Body Solidification. Now, let's begin," Elder Wu said to Lin Yu.

With a roar, Elder Wu charged toward the Corpse King. As he moved, all that could be seen was a blur of motion, forming a straight line. Before Lin Yu could even observe how Elder Wu charged toward the Corpse King, he appeared right in front of the Corpse King.

The old shaman's right arm struck the Corpse King with tremendous force. The punch was incredibly fast in Lin Yu's eyes. After the punch, the Corpse King staggered back a few steps. Clearly, the punch had not caused any fatal damage to the Corpse King. However, Lin Yu could sense that his teacher had held back. If it weren't for demonstrating combat techniques, perhaps that punch would have shattered the Corpse King to pieces. At this moment, Lin Yu's admiration for his teacher grew even stronger.

The Corpse King seemed to have lost heart after the punch he had just received. In his eyes, that punch could have completely shattered him, but it hadn't produced that much power. It had only knocked him back a few steps, and the Corpse King's hope was rekindled.

But would the outcome be as the Thousand-Year Corpse King had hoped? No, the old shaman's fist did not stop after striking the Corpse King once. On the contrary, the old shaman's illusory figure began to spin rapidly.

The Corpse King, his fighting spirit just ignited, was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the illusory figure. However, the spinning phantom made the Corpse King dizzy, unable to catch the illusory figure at all. All he could see was that the Corpse King was surrounded by circles of illusory figures above him. These phantoms were all created by the Witch Elder's rapid movements.

Lin Yu became extremely excited upon seeing the phantom in the sky, but he didn't stop there. His brain was racing, frantically simulating the old shaman's movement trajectory. He was clearly captivated by the old shaman's movements. Each time, Lin Yu could only simulate a small segment, since he had only seen it once. Being able to simulate even a small segment was already quite impressive.

The old shaman did not linger above the Corpse King for long. Suddenly, a tearing sound echoed in the empty space. Lin Yu's eyes widened at that moment because the old shaman's illusory right hand was holding a green, severed arm. It was the Corpse King's left hand. However, the Corpse King had not lost hope despite losing an arm.

The Corpse King was rapidly chanting something, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the Corpse King's voice, but the thought of his teacher being by his side calmed him down.

This place can be considered a cave. Just after the Corpse King's voice stopped abruptly, the place where the stone coffin was originally located exploded in an instant, and many green-haired monsters suddenly appeared inside. However, just as they appeared, a faint golden light gathered in front of the faint phantom, and the golden light seemed so small.

However, the power of the golden light was extraordinary. As soon as the golden light passed through the green-haired monsters, all of them vanished in an instant, as if they had never been there at all.

Upon seeing the golden light, the Corpse King involuntarily staggered backward.

"Lin Yu, did you see my series of actions just now?" Elder Wu asked.

Upon hearing the teacher's question, Lin Yu immediately replied, "You were moving too fast just now; I only saw part of it."

Elder Wu was not surprised by Lin Yu's answer, and then continued, "Since you didn't see it clearly, I will demonstrate it for you again, especially pay attention to my movement and the punch I threw at the Corpse King."

Lin Yu said, "I understand."

The old shaman charged at the Corpse King again, and the poor Corpse King became the object of the old shaman's demonstration of combat skills. Lin Yu watched carefully. Time slowly passed, and finally the old shaman stopped. Lin Yu looked at the Corpse King on the ground, full of regret. He had just come out and encountered trouble again, and was beaten so badly.

"Now is the time to subdue the thousand-year-old Corpse King," said the old shaman.
