Chapter 610: Chapter 566: Plundering the Calamity Position

Clang of the pot! Clang of the pot!

The horse’s hooves tapped the wind, heading westward.

At this moment, Mei Xiu was frantically galloping on horseback, with tears slipping down his cheeks in the wind.

He couldn’t understand why the grandfather he had called for more than a decade suddenly wasn’t his real father.

He was even more baffled as to why the man his grandfather had always told him to hate was actually his biological father.

At this moment, Mei Xiu’s heart was filled with all sorts of misery.

He grieved over his elder brother who had died on the battlefield, and he hadn’t even had the chance to guard his sibling’s spirit.

He grieved over the fact that the man who had been like a father to him for over a decade suddenly wasn’t his biological father.

He grieved over the possibility that he might never see his mother again.

Just as Mei Xiu was immersed in sorrow, he suddenly felt something attacking him.

Mei Xiu immediately dodged, but he was still a beat slow.

With a whoosh,

a cold blade pierced through his ribcage from the side.

Fortunately, he had dodged in time; otherwise, the blade would have pierced not just his ribs but straight through his heart.

With the sudden attack, Mei Xiu tumbled off the horse and crashed heavily to the ground.

Following that, two figures, one in front and one behind, closed in on him.

Mei Xiu didn’t know who was suddenly attacking him, but he quickly recovered from his state of sorrow and resisted with all his might.

During the exchange, Mei Xiu realized that his attackers were a man and a woman.

However, these two didn’t seem like living people but rather like the legendary Iron Corpses.

At that moment, the man and woman, both Iron Corpses, engaged Mei Xiu. The Iron Corpses’ defensive power was formidable, and although their attacks lacked intricate moves, their strong defense allowed them to fight in close quarters.

Although Mei Xiu was at a disadvantage, he still had the strength to resist.

However, what truly worried Mei Xiu was that these two Iron Corpses were obviously being controlled by someone, and neither of them held a blade in their hands.

Clearly, the person who had initially attacked him was still hiding in the shadows.

Fighting one against three with an enemy still hidden was indeed unwise.

Mei Xiu immediately moved closer to his war horse nearby, ready to mount and escape at any moment.

But just as he approached his war horse, suddenly, a shadow emerged from beneath the horse’s belly and thrust a sword right at his chest.

This is bad!

At this moment, in the distant bushes, Wang Ziyan who was observing the battle, smirked coldly.

"I knew this Ye Longchen was hiding something. He’s chosen the Path of Corpse Refining; it looks like this young fellow has quite a few secrets."

At his side, Elder Ku expressed his concern, "Young Master, aren’t you worried that letting Ye Longchen make the first move will result in him seizing the Calamity Position’s power first?"

Wang Ziyan coldly shook his head and said, "First of all, according to the method Ye Longchen provided, after killing the adversary, a Rune Array must be created around the corpse to absorb the opponent’s Calamity Position’s power and integrate it into one’s own body. I have seen that Rune Array; it indeed has the ability to absorb and forcibly suppress the Calamity Position’s power. So, the method he provided is mostly likely true."

"Secondly, even if the other twenty percent are fake, it doesn’t matter. After all, when he draws the formation, he cannot be particularly fast. If he does succeed, then I will strike him down, and then use his formation to plunder the Calamity Position power from his body."

"Lastly, this boy has been trying to escape since we captured him, but he hasn’t had the chance. Clearly, he doesn’t possess any secret techniques that could allow him to flee directly."

"So, there’s no need to worry."

"Moreover, this man is Mei Fei’s son, if he has any tricks up his sleeve, or if he could identify who killed him just before his death. It’s normal for Ye Longchen to kill him, and if we kill Ye Longchen, then the Martial Artists will know everything was done by us. On the other hand, if we personally kill Mei Xiu and the other party has some special method to detect that it was us, that would be problematic."

Elder Ku couldn’t help but admire how smart his young master was.

Indeed, he was a true prodigy born under extraordinary celestial phenomena!

Boom!

Mei Xiu exhausted all his strength to shatter an Iron Corpse with his long sword, but in the next instant, another Iron Corpse firmly grasped the long sword with both hands.

Although this would cause great damage to the Iron Corpse’s hands.

However, with the Calamity Position ahead, Ye Longchen simply did not care about the Iron Corpses of his parents.

After all, he had been using it for so many years and had not maintained it well; it was about time for them to be scrapped.

The loss here, for both of them, was possibly good closure.

The next moment, Ye Longchen suddenly pulled out a dagger and with a plop sound, stabbed it into Mei Xiu’s back.

This stab, and the technique Ye Longchen used on Wen Ruchu previously, were very similar.

At the same time, the Rune Array on the dagger lit up.

It turned out that the method Ye Longchen previously taught to Wang Ziyan for plundering the power of Calamity Position involved a Rune Array that came from this dagger, capable of countering all Calamities.

Ye Longchen knew that although Wang Ziyan did not understand Calamities, he was also not completely ignorant of the Path of Calamity, especially since he was from a major family and some knowledge was normal.

Therefore, giving him a completely fake method would surely be seen through.

Thus, he mixed the false with the true and indeed provided a Rune Array to Wang Ziyan.

Only he let Wang Ziyan think he needed to draw a Rune Array on the ground to use this method, but in reality, he only needed to use this dagger to kill Mei Xiu, and then absorb the Calamity Position power from his body.

At this moment, Ye Longchen twisted the dagger in his hand forcefully while simultaneously opening his mouth towards Mei Xiu and inhaling sharply.

In the next instant, the Calamity Position power, not fully awakened within the dying Mei Xiu, was completely absorbed by Ye Longchen.

Seeing the moment Ye Longchen directly absorbed the red light from Mei Xiu, Wang Ziyan realized he had been fooled.

However, just in the next instant, after absorbing the Calamity Position power, Ye Longchen stomped his foot and chanted, and suddenly a Bronze Armored War God burst out from the nearby ground.

"I belong to the Path of Ghosts and Gods and seek the help of this Mountain God to leave. If your lordship assists me, I am willing to offer half a pot of incense in gratitude."

The Mountain God, encountering such a young and generous inheritor of the Path of Ghosts and Gods for the first time, also noticed someone approaching from the distant bushes.

"Agreed!"

With a swish sound, both the Mountain God and Ye Longchen on the ground disappeared from sight.

Wang Ziyan watched as Ye Longchen, who had just disappeared from right in front of him, and the just appeared Bronze Armored War God that he didn’t know who invoked.

At this moment, he realized, he might have been tricked!
