This corpse refinement is even more formidable than Black Fiend or White Fiend, and has likely reached the Corpse King Level.

Ordinary corpse refinements are equivalent to the level of an ordinary Great Sword Master. Black Fiend, also known as the commonly called Green-haired Zombie or Iron Armor Corpse, its strength is comparable to that of a Sword Saint.

White Fiend is more powerful, roughly on par with Sword God Level.

This Corpse King before us has Demon Flames surging to the sky, moves as fast as lightning, and possesses a body of copper bones and iron tendons. Even a Divine Weapon striking its body could not break its defenses.

It definitely has the strength of a human at the Supreme Sword God Level.

What specific cultivation level? Chu Feng found it hard to judge.

Only its master could precisely know its current strength.

"Set up the formation!"

After discovering how terrifying this corpse refinement was, Chu Feng did not become afraid; on the contrary, a thought surged forth.

The last time he used the Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill, an extra Demon Soul was produced.

He had been uncertain about how to deal with it.

To destroy it would be a pity.

To keep it, finding a suitable body was difficult. Fortunately, Chu Feng obtained a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood and has been nourishing it inside.

If he could capture this corpse refinement, Chu Feng’s Demon Soul could take residence in it.

Then, slowly refining and merging it with the corpse refinement.

At that time, Chu Feng would effectively have gained an extra avatar. Moreover, it was a path of cultivation completely different from his own.

Not to mention anything else, just by succeeding, Chu Feng would immediately possess the formidable strength of a Supreme Sword God Level.

The Small Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation Diagram was summoned by him, and upon expanding it, his three subordinates immediately understood and entered into the diagram.

In an instant, the four of them set up the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, trapping the pursuing corpse refinement inside.

"This... is a Sword Formation Treasure Map!" Master Wei’s eyes narrowed, and his face changed dramatically.

He felt a hint of unease.

"The cultivation levels of these few people are not formidable, and even though the one leading has the Nine Yang Sword Veins, he merely possesses Sword Saint Cultivation. He’s completely unable to display the might of the Nine Yang Sword Veins. My corpse refinement is of Corpse King Level. What good will their sword array do?"

"They won’t last long!"

Master Wei kept a close watch on the murky sword array before him.

Frightening flashes of sword light appeared intermittently within the sword array.

Master Wei naturally did not dare to rashly enter, instead choosing to quietly observe the changes. Time slowly passed, and the sword array was never broken.

Instead, in the distant horizon, streaks of dazzling sword light were quickly approaching from afar.

Needless to say, it must be the experts of the Royal Family arriving.

No one from the Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms is to be trifled with.

The Divine Generals they possess are their greatest assets. Even those at the Supreme Sword God Level wouldn’t dare to be rampant in the Imperial City of the Heavenly Country.

Master Wei thought he could quickly resolve the battle, but he never expected Chu Feng to be so tenacious.

Now he was caught in a dilemma, sweat already beading on his forehead.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

Master Wei gritted his teeth and immediately started to shake the magic bell in his hand, attempting to summon the corpse refinement to forcefully break the formation.

He no longer cared about dealing with Chu Feng and the others.

First, he needed to flee. He would find another opportunity later to come back and kill Chu Feng and the others.

He almost shook the magic bell to pieces, yet the corpse refinement still did not emerge from the formation. Master Wei’s heart sank to the bottom.

Today was indeed a terribly unlucky day.

Not only did he fail to capture the six Royal Family members afflicted with Corpse Poison, but he also lost a Corpse King he had painstakingly refined into the mix.

Attempting to steal a chicken, he ended up losing a handful of rice.

Master Wei was so angry he felt like spitting blood.

"Capture that demon for this prince, dead or alive!" The Eight Virtuous Princes, riding the Iron Feathered Divine Eagle, appeared above Longevity Hall.

Behind him was a large group of experts from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

Beneath the Emperor’s feet, someone dared to abduct a member of the Imperial Family. This could not be tolerated.

They absolutely could not let this lawless demon escape.

This time, several Divine Generals had come, including Second Grade Divine Generals.

Chu Feng sent the Poison Eye Dragon King to send word. As an old hand in the worldly society, the Poison Eye Dragon King naturally exaggerated the enemy’s strength.

Hearing that there might be experts of the Supreme Sword God Level among their foes, the Eight Virtuous Princes did not dare to take them lightly. He immediately called for Divine Generals to capture the enemy.

"How infuriating!"

Master Wei did not dare to linger any longer. If he were captured or surrounded by these Divine Generals, escape would be difficult.

Corpse refining could be pursued again, but if one’s life were lost, everything would be over.

Having lived for so many years, Master Wei was decisive.

He immediately controlled his sword and fled outside the residence, with the Divine Generals loudly shouting and chasing after him.

Inside the Sword Array, Chu Feng was using the Abnormal Fire to deal with the Corpse King.

The facts proved that his guess was correct.

The Corpse King, a creature of evil, was barely affected by the sword light, but Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Strange Fire formed a net of flames that ensnared it. Black smoke billowed as the Corpse King was burned; the Demon Fog surrounding it was diminishing, becoming sparse.

It was estimated that the Corpse King could not hold on much longer and would soon be subdued by Chu Feng.

Outside the formation, the Eight Virtuous Princes and the Divine Generals who arrived could immediately see the Sword Array set up within the courtyard of the residence.

Even with the formidable strength of these Divine Generals, they all felt trepidation.

"Alchemist Chu truly is a remarkable person! Not only is his mastery of Alchemy Dao profound, but his Sword Dao skills are also not the slightest bit inferior. Such a person, if he could be used by our Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, that would be too good to be true."

The light in the Eight Virtuous Princes’ eyes flickered as he was the first to land within the courtyard. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After checking that the six members of the Royal Family were all unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Each member of the Royal Family was the future and hope of the Imperial House.

The six who were bitten were all exceptional talents, bound to achieve great things in the future.

"Prince, I heard that the Princess tried to recruit Chu Feng by offering him the position of a Third Grade God General, but he refused. Convincing him to serve Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country might be very difficult!" the Evil Eagle whispered, following closely by the Eight Virtuous Princes’ side.

"Such a Heavenly Pride will naturally have pride and is reluctant to join the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country as an official, which is normal. Listen well, from now on, absolutely no one is allowed to be an enemy of Alchemist Chu, or else don’t blame this prince for being ruthless."

The Eight Virtuous Princes were wise; even if they couldn’t recruit Chu Feng, they did not wish to be his enemy.

Unlike some who, if one cannot be used by them, must be eradicated.

"You all stay here, and accompany this prince. If the Sword Array breaks, we will immediately act against that Corpse King." The Eight Virtuous Princes arranged for the two most powerful Divine Generals to capture Master Wei.

As for himself, he led most of the experts, ready to support Chu Feng at any time.

Within the Sword Array, Chu Feng relied on the Abnormal Fire and the double restrictions of the Sword Array to firmly control the Corpse King, preventing it from escaping.

After refining for six or seven two-hour intervals, the Corpse King finally couldn’t hold on anymore. The Demonic Qi on its surface had been completely burned off by the Abnormal Fire, and it began to roar furiously, its desire to escape growing more urgent.

Bang, bang, bang!

Each of its collisions was terrifyingly powerful.

Chu Feng and the others who were leading the Sword Array were all recoiled to the point of spitting blood. They all gritted their teeth and persevered.

At the same time, Chu Feng’s Abnormal Fire also began to wield its full power, refining and burning the Corpse King’s demonic body.

With the pain intensifying, the Corpse King gradually became much more docile.

Perhaps multiple collisions that failed to break the formation and escape also slowly filled it with despair.
