Chapter 25: Playing a Round of Golf
In the Underground Cave, Tang Song held a Jade Engraving Knife, inscribing spirit marks onto a Bronze Armored Corpse.
Lines of spirit marks flickered on the Jade Engraving Knife, emitting streaks of white radiance, easily carving lines onto the Bronze Armored Corpse, which was harder than steel or iron.
These lines started from the Bronze Armored Corpse's fontanelle, ran through its entire body, reaching down to the Yongquan Point, and spread across all the major acupuncture points.
Seventy-two spirit marks formed a Great Yin Refining Form Formation Array.
The Great Yin Refining Form is precisely the Feng Shui Array of the Corpse Refining Lineage within Heshan Dao, used to draw in moonlight essence to nourish Armored Corpses and refine them into Dao Soldiers.
And at the apex of the Underground Cave, seventy-two silver crystals were covered in tiny spirit marks invisible to the naked eye, clearly forming a miniature magic array.
The interaction between the two magic arrays, combined with the Focusing Mirrors outside, could gather Lunar Yin Essence Qi from a ten-mile radius.
Tang Song casually pointed, and the Jade Engraving Knife flew up, carving spirit mark nodes on some hidden parts of the Bronze Armored Corpse.
At this moment, the thirty-six Armored Corpses had raised, plate-like blocks on their bodies, which shone with a brass-colored luster. This was the reason for the name Bronze Armored Corpse.
If the skin of an ordinary Iron Armored Corpse was as hard as iron and stone, invulnerable to blades and guns, then the skin of these Bronze Armored Corpses was so hard that even Qi Condensation Cultivators using ordinary magic tools might not be able to cut through their outer shell.
To be more intuitive, Tang Song tapped the skin on a Bronze Armored Corpse's arm with his finger, producing a crisp metallic clang.
With this hardness, ordinary rifle bullets were like a tickle to the Bronze Armored Corpses.
Even if you switched to a sniper rifle, unless it was a heavy sniper rifle using special armor-piercing bullets, it would still struggle to penetrate the Bronze Armored Corpse's skin.
"Coming to this world isn't without its benefits. At least the Lunar Yin Essence Qi and the power of moonlight essence aren't being fought over here!"
Tang Song felt the sense of security brought by the thirty-six body-protecting armored corpses and couldn't help but sigh.
One must know that even if he had been fortunate enough to obtain the Corpse Refining Method of Heshan Dao in the Jambudvīpa World, he couldn't have possibly refined thirty-six Bronze Armored Corpses in two years.
Firstly, corpses were hard to find. To refine corpses using the most ordinary corpses, the first step was to find a Corpse Nurturing Ground with excellent feng shui.
Such superior Corpse Nurturing Grounds were often already taken, and for a corpse to turn into a zombie, it would take at least three to five years, or even twenty to thirty years at most.
Even if blessed by heaven and encountering no setbacks during these years, what was refined would still be the most ordinary Armored Corpses, not even counting as Iron Armored Corpses.
Martial artists in the mortal world, if they were a bit bolder and had a sharper divine weapon in hand, could cut down these freshly produced zombies as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Once the corpse became a zombie, the time that followed was for Nourishing Corpses, feeding and Refining Armored Corpses with human blood and souls, and then gathering Lunar Yin Essence Qi to refine their form.
Not to mention whether wanton slaughter would attract Immortal Sect Cultivators, as various countries on the Jambudvīpa Continent were backed by Immortal Sects.
Even without feeding the corpses human blood, if Tang Song just found a random corner and used the Great Yin Refining Form method to refine Armored Corpses, the essence monsters and demonic creatures attracted by the moonlight essence qi from a hundred-mile radius as soon as the moonlight gathered would be enough to give Tang Song a hard time.
Upon arriving in the Marvel World, Tang Song instead felt like a fish in water.
Werewolves have a naturally strong constitution, not inferior to ordinary Armored Corpses, and possess a natural sense of compatibility with Great Yin Moonlight Essence Qi.
They were the best possible material for Refining Armored Corpses. The best part was, these werewolves had no one backing them.
One must know that in the Jambudvīpa World, a Rogue Cultivator like Tang Song had to consider whether a Great Sage was standing behind even when killing a single monkey essence monster.
Before fighting someone, he had to think repeatedly; otherwise, he wouldn't make a move. After making a move, he would use means as ruthless as possible, and after killing someone, their souls must also be scattered, ensuring no trace was left behind.
Being a Rogue Cultivator was cautious, like walking on thin ice. How could it be as carefree as he is now?
"Frank used the Skeleton Demon on him?"
Tang Song's Divine Sense trembled, and the magic tool carving knife stopped moving.
The Skeleton Demon Bone Beads that Frank and Kane carried were magic tools he had refined.
Once activated, Tang Song would naturally sense it.
"Frank encountered a troublesome enemy?!"
The Skeleton Demon Bone Bead on Frank was just an ordinary magic tool with three restriction seals. If he really encountered a powerful opponent...
Tang Song pondered for a moment, walked to the elevator, opened the glass cover next to it, and took out a red telephone.
Dialing the number, Tang Song only waited three seconds before the call connected.
"Kane, something happened with Frank. Take some men to check it out!"
Hanging up the phone, Tang Song returned to the Altar to continue inscribing spirit marks and Refining Body-Protecting Armored Corpses.
A Small Gang, even with more accidents, Frank and Kane combined were enough to resolve it.
Now was not the middle to late stage of the Marvel World, where Superheroes were everywhere and Supervillains were not even as good as dogs.
...
The next morning, in a Private Room at the Guns N' Roses Bar.
Tang Song was wiping the water stains from his face with a towel. In the Private Room's Living Room, Kane, Frank, and Lane were playing cards.
"Boss!"
Seeing Tang Song come out, the three greeted him.
"Stop playing, come eat first!"
On the nearby dining table, several exquisite breakfasts were laid out, including sandwiches, hamburgers, sliced bacon, Libyan ham, as well as Chinese style white porridge, shrimp dumplings, and youtiao.
After finishing breakfast, Tang Song wiped his mouth and looked towards the set of silver samurai armor in the corner of the Living Room.
This was the spoils of war Frank brought back yesterday.
Just now, Frank had told him what happened last night.
The Foot Clan's territory now belonged to Tang, and the remaining gunmen of The Hand in New York were also dealt with by Frank and Kane with their men.
Adamantium. In Tang Song's impression, the famous Wolverine among Mutants had claws made of Adamantium, which were said to be indestructible.
There was also intelligence regarding this aspect in the Underworld. It was said to be a type of man-made metal formed by mixing extraterrestrial meteorite components into carbon alloy. Once the ore was smelted and cooled, it would still not show any sign of melting even at a high temperature of 500,000℃.
