Chapter 1652: Mutual Slaughter?
"Jiang Feng... you... you need to think of something!!!"
Seeing that she and Dong Ruyan could only hold on with difficulty, and yet Jiang Feng still hadn’t launched an effective attack on the Ice Maiden, Shangguan Wan’er couldn’t help but shout.
But as soon as her words fell, something bizarre suddenly happened!
The black-clad corpse in front of her that was used as a shield and had been dead for a while, suddenly turned around as if it had come back to "life," using a very strange posture to grab at Shangguan Wan’er’s neck with a backhand motion.
Shangguan Wan’er, completely caught off guard, was nearly seized by "it," and in her shock, she could only forcefully push the corpse away, then stood up in fear, extremely nervous!
What’s going on here? How is a dead person "alive" again?!
And the black-clad corpse that Shangguan Wan’er pushed away staggered slightly on the river’s surface before wobbling and standing up again.
"His" expression still maintained the look of someone at the moment of death, with a vacant stare, and his movements were rigid, obviously still a corpse, but how can a dead person move?
Not far away, Dong Ruyan encountered the same situation!
It had been hard enough using this corpse as a shield to block those soul-chasing life-taking ice swords, but she was almost ambushed by the corpse that suddenly "came alive." Thankfully, her reactions were quick!
"Little Master, this..."
Dong Ruyan, feeling lingering fear, came beside Shangguan Wan’er, her face full of disbelief.
"It’s the Ice Maiden!"
Shangguan Wan’er suddenly thought of something, cautiously staring at the distant Ice Maiden, saying, "She must have manipulated these corpses!"
Yes, those ice swords earlier had all pierced through the corpses, leaving them full of ice shards.
And the Ice Maiden took advantage of the situation to control these corpses again, turning them into tools of battle!
One could only say, the Ice Maiden’s combat techniques were endless!
But even after controlling two corpses, the Ice Maiden wasn’t done.
Those ice swords from earlier had affected all the corpses on the ground!
She made a few gestures like a puppet master, and all the corpses stood up, lifeless and swaying, creating an extremely eerie and terrifying scene!
Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan were naturally scared out of their wits at this scene!
They were both assassins, not strangers to killing.
But the fact that someone who’s been dead for a long time could stand up again was truly terrifying!
At present, dozens of corpses were swaying, not unlike a scene from a zombie apocalypse, and the scene was extremely bizarre!
However, Jiang Feng didn’t feel any surprise at the Ice Maiden’s ability to control corpses.
He still smiled faintly and said, "This trick is not surprising at all. If I tell you that people have shown similar tricks to me before — not just one person — you would realize that you’re nothing special, wouldn’t you?"
The Ice Maiden squinted her eyes but said nothing.
She was already used to Jiang Feng’s mockery, her fingers rapidly flicked, making the dozens of black-clad corpses march in unison, directly heading toward Jiang Feng like trained soldiers!
The Ice Maiden knew full well that she wasn’t the only one in the world with the ability to manipulate corpses, but what set her apart was that the corpses she controlled could share her inner strength!
In other words, these corpses had become her weapons!
Moreover, because the Ice Maiden herself possessed an astonishing realm, with one foot already in the Primordial Transformation Realm.
The corpses she controlled naturally had extraordinary combat strength, and purely in terms of realm, each probably possessed Absolute Peak Level strength!
Dozens of Absolute Peaks attacking simultaneously, dealing with one person would be a piece of cake, not to mention that they could easily destroy a small country!
"Die!!!"
The Ice Maiden shouted coldly, manipulating the corpses to launch a fierce attack on Jiang Feng!
This time, the corpses were far stronger than they were in life, with each one’s speed extremely startling, rushing at Jiang Feng like a swarm, creating a highly intense visual impact!
Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan watched with their hearts in their throats!
However, Jiang Feng had already given the Ice Maiden enough time to showcase her abilities, and he had almost thoroughly understood her capabilities, finding them no longer so novel.
He stepped forward, swung his heavy fist, and instantly sent three corpses full of killing aura flying!
As those corpses flew toward the Ice Maiden, they were entirely unable to withstand Jiang Feng’s fist power, shattering explosively in mid-air, turning into debris!
The Ice Maiden’s pupils contracted, seemingly not expecting the terrifying power of a single punch from Jiang Feng!
Yet she continued to control all the corpses, surrounding Jiang Feng, piling upon him like acrobats, trying to pin Jiang Feng down!
The Ice Maiden believed that no matter how mysterious Jiang Feng was, being crushed by so many Absolute Peak Realm corpses would make resistance impossible, leaving him with no outcome but to be torn apart!
But just as those dozens of flying corpses enveloped Jiang Feng tightly, leaving no gaps, Jiang Feng delivered a powerful kick and sent a dozen corpses flying into the sky!
Those corpses also exploded with a bang, turning into a mess of body parts that scattered over the frozen surface of the river.
The Ice Maiden’s eyelids twitched; for the first time, she felt she shouldn’t be complacent!
This Jiang Feng was indeed unfathomable, no wonder Ying Ji perished at his hands, and even the Netherworld Hall was destroyed by him!
"I’ve already told you, stop using these recycled tricks; they’re a waste of expression!"
Jiang Feng punched and kicked, sending the remaining corpses flying and smashing them, all while his own body remained untouched, not even a piece of clothing had been brushed against.
The Ice Maiden involuntarily stepped back a few jade-like steps!
This guy could punch and kick Absolute Peaks like they were nothing, was he even human?
Even she herself couldn’t accomplish such a feat!
But faced with Jiang Feng’s disdain, the Ice Maiden truly became determined this time!
She shouted angrily, and suddenly with a wave of her hands, she initiated another move!
This time, there was no river water curtain, nor any ice swords, and no corpses left for her to manipulate, so what trick could it be?!
Just as he wondered, he suddenly heard Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan exclaim from behind, "Jiang Feng, we... our bodies are out of control!"
Jiang Feng turned sharply around, only to see Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan maintaining an awkward posture, walking stiffly toward him!
The two women seemed to be struggling against something, but their limbs were entirely out of their control, moving step by step toward Jiang Feng, faces pale with fear!
Only then did Jiang Feng realize that this time, the Ice Maiden was controlling the two women to attack him!
During the earlier process of blocking the ice swords, both women had also been touched by ice, leaving them at the mercy of the Ice Maiden!
At this moment, the Ice Maiden had already retreated to a far distance from Jiang Feng, believing she was in a safe zone. She then manipulated Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan and sneered at Jiang Feng, saying, "Jiang Feng, no matter how unfathomable you are, now both of your women will fight you to the death!"
"I just want to see if you have the heart to kill them both!"
