Chapter Eighteen: A Stunning Turn of Events

  The fatty meat delivered to his mouth made Guo Fei drool just by looking at it, but he had no confidence in whether he could "chew" it down.

  These dead spirit wolves are obviously not very intelligent and won't climb trees, which is their weakness. Looking at the crisscrossing withered branches, Guo Fei thought of a plan.

  "Feint to the east, strike to the west!" Guo Fei's eyes lit up, and he secretly smiled. From a different time and space, although he had never fought in a battle, he had seen many formations and could use them.

  "Go!" Guo Fei waved his hand at the corpse soldier, who sprang out of the tree hole and leaped onto a withered branch beside it. Most of the wolves were attracted to it and chased after it.

  But several wolves remained motionless, staring at Guo Fei without blinking.

  Kuo Fei darted out of the tree hole and jumped towards the trunk in the direction away from the corpse soldier. Most of the wolves that were chasing the corpse soldiers turned their heads to chase Kuo Fei, apparently they were most interested in fresh flesh and blood.

  Guo Fei's heart moved, the corpse soldier suddenly jumped down, his long sword danced, and a wisp of gray gas emerged from the invisible sword energy. In the instant he floated in mid-air, he swiftly swung out three swords as fast as lightning, cutting off the heads of the three wolves like slicing cucumbers. The three wolves instantly fell to the ground, their bodies rapidly decaying, leaving only skeletons behind, surrounded by swirling gray gas.

  The corpse soldier picked up the six soul crystals and grasped them in his hand. At this time, the pack of wolves chasing after Guo Fei saw the corpse soldier fall to the ground and turned their heads to charge towards him. The corpse soldier's body sprang up again and climbed back onto the big tree.

  Guo Fei's figure fluttered and fell, in an instant he killed a wolf with one sword, and picked up a soul crystal. He didn't have time to get two of them before the pack of wolves rushed back. Guo Fei hastily leaped into the air, and the pack of wolves swarmed around trying to climb the big tree, but they all fell down.

  The body of the dead wolf floated with clusters of gray mist, and these wolves repeatedly poked out their noses and big mouths to absorb them into their bodies.

  Kuo Fei was taken aback, knowing that these dead spirits first wanted to get fresh flesh and blood, and secondly to obtain death energy to replenish their energy.

  Guo Fei and the corpse soldier continued to separate and lure the wolves, constantly ambushing and killing them. Guo Fei's efficiency was far from catching up with the corpse soldier, as he killed four wolves while the corpse soldier had already killed fourteen.

  "Boom!" When Guo Fei killed the fifth one, a surge of heat flowed through his body, and a burst of air from the heavens poured into his body.

  "Third-class swordsmen!" Guo Fei's heart was filled with joy.

  In an instant, I felt a surge of heat flowing through my body, almost as if the sword's energy was about to burst out of me, but it was forcefully suppressed by the Xuan Iron Sword within.

  "Invisible Sword Aura!" Guo Fei was taken aback, and a guess flashed in his mind - he could now emit an invisible sword aura. However, the Xuan Iron Sword's material was clearly inferior, preventing him from unleashing his invisible sword aura.

  Time was not long, the fifty-three wolves were all eliminated by the two using the tactic of voice east and west. Got one hundred and six pieces of soul crystal, wealth and honor are sought in danger, this saying is indeed true.

  "Come!" Guo Fei beckoned to the corpse soldier, grasping the long sword in his hand. The corpse soldier was a camp commander when he was alive, and this sword was extremely valuable. Its body was as dark as emerald water, weighing around three or four kilograms, yet it felt light and sharp.

  It can be seen from the magnificent sword that this sword was purchased from a store, not polished by oneself. A small amount of precious material is mixed in the fine steel, so it can make the invisible sword energy inside the body transparent.

  Guo Fei's palm flipped over, and a sword sliced away. He only felt a surge of heat flowing from his meridians, bursting out through the sword body.

  "Hiss!" A huge crack silently appeared on the withered tree trunk three meters in front of the sword tip.

  "Invisible Sword Energy!" Guo Fei exclaimed in his heart, and indeed, just as he had guessed, he had risen to the third level of swordsmanship and could now emit invisible sword energy, barely qualifying him as a Qi Cultivator. However, his weapon was not suitable for him, hindering the display of his sword energy.

  Change or not change, a difficult choice was placed in front of Guo Fei. If he changed it, his attack power would greatly increase, but as Wen Shu said, when the sword is not handy, it is often replaced, which is a lower-level choice, and only constantly forging one's own weapon is the correct way to reach the peak of the art of weapons.

  Moreover, the overall quality of Xuan Tie sword material is not inferior to this sword, it just lacks forging and partial high-quality rare metal synthesis.

  Guo Fei recalled Wen Shu's words and gently stroked his own Xuan Tie sword, then fiercely returned the corpse soldier's sword to him.

  It can't be replaced, once it's replaced, the Xuanyuan Sword will never be used again, this sword will be abandoned, and the sword inheritance will be lost. We must find a way to find good materials and re-forge this sword.

  After a short rest, they recovered their strength to its best state. The undead warrior also absorbed a large amount of death energy. The two moved forward quietly, one in front of the other.

  Transformed into a ninja, his body was as agile as a spirit monkey, jumping between withered trees. His corpse soldiers were even higher than Guo Fei's, and he naturally followed easily.

  "Boom!" A loud noise came, Guo Fei's figure paused, and he rushed towards the place where the sound was coming from.

  "Older brother, Wang Ying Chang!" Guo Fei jumped over a withered tree and found that below was a three-zhang high precipice. At the foot of the precipice, in the dense forest, on an empty land, two people and a monster were entangled in battle. With one glance, Guo Fei recognized the two people as Jin Da Tong and Wang Zhi.

  Looking closely at the monster entwined with them, Guo Fei couldn't help but take a cold breath. This was an ape, its body as massive and towering as a black diamond, a meter taller than Jin Datong. Its sturdy physique was full of wild power, every muscle bulging even in death. Clearly, it had evolved faster than other undead creatures.

  Next to them, three smaller apes had fallen to the ground, apparently killed by Jin Datong and Wang Zhi. However, at this moment, their situation was not optimistic either. Jin Datong's body was covered in wounds, his energy insufficient, relying solely on a fierce momentum to hold on; Wang Zhi was slightly better off, but his invisible sword aura could no longer be emitted, being forced to dodge left and right by the giant ape, his cultivation having reached an exhausted state, already drained of energy.

  Guo Fei made a gesture to the corpse soldiers, preparing to find a suitable location to deliver a fatal blow to the giant ape.

  At this moment, the situation in the field suddenly changed. Wang Zhi's figure flashed and he suddenly punched a punch on Jin Datong's back, pushing him towards the giant ape. The giant ape grasped Jin Datong's legs with both claws, and with a sudden pull of its arms, it actually tore his thighs off from his body.

  At the same time, taking advantage of the giant ape's attack on Jin Datong, Wang Zhi's long sword flew out, fiercely slashing down at the giant ape's head. It seemed like a desperate blow, and an invisible sword energy was released, cutting off half of the giant ape's skull. The giant ape let out a loud roar, counterattacking with a palm strike that sent Wang Zhi flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The giant ape also fell to the ground, its body twisted at an awkward angle.

  The sudden change left Guo Fei stunned. At this time, Jin Datong did not make a sound, his two legs were torn off, and he was clearly dying. He glared at Wang Zhi and said coldly: "Why?"

  Wang Zhi felt no guilt at all, and coldly said: "If we continue to fight like this, neither of us will survive. Your death in exchange for my life is worth it. Someone like you living is also a waste of food, so why not help me? Once I reach the pinnacle of martial arts, I'll remember your contribution. You should be happy to die for me."

  "Hahaha!" Jin Datong's mouth was full of blood as he laughed tragically.

  "What's so funny!" Wang Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

  "Even if you have the most powerful cultivation, being a heartless and ruthless person is not enjoyable at all. I, Jin Datong, had always admired you greatly, but it turns out that Old Ten was right after all, and I am no better than him." Jin Datong sighed heavily, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

  "What did he say about me?"

  "A person with little affection and few righteous principles is not suitable for close association!"

  "Guo Fei, you're looking for death!" Wang Zhi slowly stood up and said in a cold tone.

  Jin Datong's face suddenly changed as he sternly said: "You, because of one sentence I spoke, wanted to harm Guo Fei!"

  "People won't consider the feelings of ants, if they're in the way, they'll be killed. That's my principle. The law of survival, Jin Datong, you really aren't suited for the military, not even one ten-thousandth of me."

  Jin Datong had just returned to his hometown, and now he was about to die. His face showed a look of guilt, and he never thought that his last words would bring trouble to Guo Fei. He didn't want to, nor did he wish to, but his character was such that his words couldn't be held back.

  "Old big!" Guo Fei's eyes were filled with hot tears as he flipped over from the withered tree and jumped to Jin Datong's side, supporting him.

  "Old ten, hurry up!" Jin Datong's pupils dilated, his life was about to slip away.

  "Don't worry, he can't escape, brother will avenge you! Kill him!" Guo Fei shouted loudly at Wang Zhi.

  The corpse soldier swung his long sword and suddenly jumped out, a formless sword energy shot towards Wang Zhi. Even when Wang Zhi was in his prime, he wasn't a match for the corpse soldier. Now that he was already exhausted to the point of having sore hands and feet, he turned around trying to escape but was injured by the corpse soldier's sword energy, leaving a wound on his back.

  "Don't kill him, bring him back alive!" Guo Fei shouted at the corpse soldiers.
