Losing

Yang Zhai was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and skidding away from the force of the impact.

He pulled himself up from the ground with the help of his arms. He spat out blood and looked at the front.

There—about a hundred meters from him—stood a lot of shiqs, carrying the cultivators.

There was a rank 4 body path cultivator among the Storm Bandits.

"How did they manage to cultivate a body cultivator?" He muttered.

This body cultivator was twice as strong as him. Yang Zhai's strength was merely around 20 bulls.

He activated the inheritance ring.

"He is doing something, kill him!" Shouted the leader of the Storm Bandits.

By the time Yang Zhai looked around, he was already surrounded.

Many different attacks came at him from different directions. Yang Zhai didn't even look and jumped into the air, also activating the Galewing to boost his jump.

He managed to avoid this array of attacks, but he couldn't dodge in the air and was now vulnerable to the attacks.

The bandits didn't give him any time and launched another array of attacks.

However, before they could hit him, he was grabbed and thrown to the ground by someone. He landed on his feet.

Right after Yang Zhai jumped into the air, he activated the Corpse Collector, and a rank 4 corpse came out. This corpse was missing flesh from many places. Even its jaw was missing.

It grabbed Yang Zhai and threw him to the ground with all its might.

The array of attacks landed on the corpse and it was torn to pieces. Blood and different body matter spread into the surroundings. Yang Zhai was also covered in blood and brain matter from the corpse.

"What was that…" the bandits were confused.

Yang Zhai had commanded the corpse to hurl him toward the side where he sensed the cultivators were weakest.

"It's dangerous, but I have no choice. I need to get closer so the other sides will stop attacking", he contemplated. "I can't summon The Last One as it won't be able to do anything in this situation. I can only control one corpse at a time through the Corpse Collector. The inheritance gate takes time to manifest, so I have no choice but to close the distance."

He shot towards the cultivators along with activating Galewing Ka.

The cultivators turned around and tried to increase the distance, but Yang Zhai was constantly using Galewing Ka to increase his speed. The cultivators attacked from behind.

Even though Yang Zhai was using Galewing Ka, he couldn't close the distance, in fact, it only increased.

The Shiqs were quite fast.

Yang Zhai suddenly stopped and turned around, he ran in the opposite direction now. He was constantly being bombarded with the attacks. He managed to dodge a few, but a few still hit him. Even though he had cultivated his body, he was still getting injured. His focus was on dodging the attacks that could be fatal.

He was surrounded by hundreds of rank 4 cultivators and two to three rank 5 cultivators.

He was running when he was suddenly hurled with great force. He flew through the air for a moment before crashing to the ground and skidding across it. Blood sprayed from his mouth, but with no time to waste, he endured the pain and forced himself to stand.

He was kicked by the rank 4 body path cultivator.

"You want to fight hand to hand, huh? Very well, I will give you the chance then," the cultivator lunged at Yang Zhai.

I tried to avoid him, but I guess it was unavoidable: he considered and jumped backward.

But was soon caught by the cultivator.

Yang Zhai activated the Blood Demon Ka, and a lot of blood appeared in front of him and materialized into a barrier.

But, it was broken by the cultivator and his punch struck Yang Zhai.

The blood shield absorbed some of the impact, allowing him to reduce the severity of the strike.

Yang Zhai was thrown a little back but used his arms to flip and land on his legs.

The cultivator dived at him again. Yang Zhai had just balanced himself, so he didn't have much time to dodge. He again activated the Blood Demon Ka and formed a blood shield. This time, the strength of the cultivator's punch had increased.

Yang Zhai moved his right hand forward to block the punch, his arm recoiled slightly in a strange manner, as if it had dislocated from the shoulder.

His eyes narrowed. He was not only feeling a piercing pain but also seemed to sense what was happening. He hurriedly grabbed the part between his shoulder and the arm and moved it so that it could go back to its position. Even though he felt pain, he had to do it.

He needed this arm as he was moving his other arm with the help of the Blood Demon Ka.

He had just done that when the cultivator lunged at him again. Yang Zhai again did the same trick and the blood formed a shield in front of him.

However, the cultivator made a strange movement. He stopped in his tracks at once as if all of the momentum his body carried disappeared into thin air.

He bent his upper body slightly before lunging at Yang Zhai from beneath the shield, completely evading it.

I had expected something like this, but his speed was too fast: this came to his mind as his eyes looked at the cultivator.

The punch was aimed at Yang Zhai's face. However, it missed him as he fell down.

I managed to activate the Dug Worm Ka at the right moment: he thought.

The cultivator who had lunged at Yang Zhai saw Yang Zhai falling down for some reason.

Yang Zhai hadn't completely fallen to the ground when he placed his left hand on the cultivator's chest and a spear came out of his hand and pierced the cultivator's chest.

"Ugh," the cultivator spat blood.

Not just that, but he also released the Damnation Snake, and it but the cultivator.

He had activated the Ice Spear rank 5 technique.

This cultivator had a strange light pink color skin, so he suspected that the cultivator had some kind of method activated to protect his body. Thus, a rank 4 ice spear wasn't going to be of much help.

However, the result of activating the technique was that the black marks increased and spread to his right shoulder as well. The black vein-like marks almost reached his jaw.

His purified void rays also decreased by a lot.

"I am in a pretty bad situation," Yang Zhai muttered.

He kicked the cultivator away from him.

He heard noises from behind and saw a lot of shiqs running towards him.

"Kill him!" They shouted.

"It's bad, if these shiqs run over me, I will be reduced to a mere mush, I have no choice left but…"

He activated the Earth's Burial Ka with all its might, its essence, its life, and its ability. He made it out everything behind this attack.

A huge pit appeared in front of the shiqs, and they began to fall into it as they couldn't stop because of the momentum.

The Earth Burial Ka cracked and broke into pieces, it died.

A few still managed to cross the pit. He then activated the Dug Worm Ka in the same manner and made a huge pit appear again about twenty meters away. He was in bad shape and couldn't outrun these shiqs, not to mention the cultivators that were behind him. On top of that, these shiq had gotten too close to him.

He hurriedly stood up and distanced himself from these cultivators.

He had just started running when he looked to his right and saw the same body cultivator in the process of punching him.

The punch hit his chest and sent him flying.

Yang Zhai vomited blood.

The Second Life Ka had taken a blow.
