Chapter 72 The Battle of the Corpse King
"what..."
A shrill scream sounded.
The gray-robed Taoist's body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into ashes that scattered in the air.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air amidst the thunder.
After killing the gray-robed Taoist, Shi Jian looked up.
Boom~!
A figure fell down, creating a huge crater.
A red figure descended and spewed a mouthful of blackish-red poisonous flames into the crater.
Boom, boom, boom—
Explosions continued, and black smoke billowed from the crater.
The poison gas transformed into a black and red flame, causing a massive explosion.
The next moment, the emperor's corpse burst forth.
It glanced at the gray-robed Taoist who had turned to ash, and its aura seemed to grow even stronger.
Originally controlled by the gray-robed Taoist, now that the other party is dead, the emperor's corpse naturally regains its freedom, and its own consciousness reclaims its body.
"Roar~~"
It roared to the sky, its corpse-like aura terrifying to behold.
With a whoosh, the corpse vanished and instantly attacked Shi Jian.
It was quite intelligent and clearly knew that Shi Jian was the real master. It could evolve to a more powerful level by killing him and absorbing his flesh and magic.
"court death!"
Shi Jian snorted coldly and raised his hand to unleash a palm strike.
Bang~!
A thunderous explosion rang out, blasting the corpse away. The corpse crackled with electricity and billowed with black smoke, having suffered considerable damage.
Realizing that Shi Jian was not to be trifled with, and with a female zombie whose strength was no less than its own, the skeleton clearly had the intention to retreat.
Whoosh~~!
The skeleton turned around and fled.
"Want to run?"
Shi Jian sneered and strode off, transforming into lightning as he gave chase.
Whizzing--
The female zombie gave chase at top speed, spewing out a large plume of poisonous flames from her mouth.
Boom, boom, boom~~
A series of explosions occurred on the ground, and the skeleton was chased by a man and a zombie.
It fled in a sorry state, but it couldn't shake off the two enemies behind it no matter what it did.
"The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, Heavenly Thunder Slays Evil!"
Shi Jian chased after him and unleashed a bolt of lightning.
With a deafening roar, the skeleton was struck by lightning, and its body fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the female zombie arrived and unleashed a burst of poisonous flames.
The skeletons had no choice but to fight back, and the two sides clashed again.
Bang bang~~
The ground exploded, and skeletons burrowed underground, but the female zombie also burrowed underground to engage in battle.
The two sides clashed fiercely, exchanging blows in a very intense manner.
This is a duel between the Corpse Kings.
One is an emperor's corpse evolving towards becoming an incorruptible beast, and the other is a Nine Yin Mystic Maiden zombie evolving towards becoming a drought demon.
The two sides were evenly matched, their strength nearly equal, and the battle caused the ground to shatter everywhere, the commotion so great that it could be heard from hundreds of miles away.
Those two powerful streams of corpse energy alarmed many cultivators.
"Such powerful corpse energy!"
"Not just one, but two zombie kings?"
"At least at the flying zombie level."
Dozens of miles away, a Taoist priest who was transporting corpses looked over in horror.
The group of zombies behind him trembled violently, as if they were being intimidated and controlled, and even had the feeling of breaking free of control and about to go out of control.
"Certainly!"
The Taoist priest used hand seals and magic to immobilize these zombies.
He looked in this direction in horror, and vaguely saw two streams of corpse energy soaring into the sky, with rolling dark clouds and flashing lightning.
Two figures, one in black and one in red, clashed fiercely.
Those were two powerful zombies; in a battle between zombie kings, one of them was bound to die.
This attracted the attention of many Taoist practitioners, especially the corpse drivers, whose eyes lit up.
That's a Corpse King! Controlling a Corpse King would be a wonderful thing.
Unfortunately, it's just wishful thinking; nobody's a fool.
The two Corpse Kings were locked in fierce combat, neither of which could be controlled by an ordinary cultivator.
Forget about controlling it, even getting close might attract the two Corpse Kings to attack you directly.
Isn't that just pure flesh and blood offering itself up?
"Such a powerful Corpse King is not someone like me can touch."
The corpse-driver shook his head regretfully, trying to keep his client from getting out of control.
As for the Corpse King, he dared not hope for anything; that was a case of going there alive but not coming back alive.
At this moment, on Longhu Mountain, an old celestial master suddenly awoke.
"Such powerful corpse energy, it looks like it's about to become an incorruptible body."
"There was another wisp of corpse energy, scorching hot, as if it were about to transform into a drought demon."
The old Celestial Master looked solemn and immediately took out a demon-slaying sword from the Ancestral Hall of Longhu Mountain and went down the mountain.
He was going to see for himself; the emergence of the two great corpse kings would inevitably cause chaos throughout the land.
If this is not curbed, the world will be plunged into chaos and suffering.
Not only the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain, but also the Purple-Robed Celestial Masters of Maoshan Mountain noticed it.
"This aura—" The purple-robed celestial master was filled with doubt and surprise.
Just as they were about to leave the mountain, they suddenly sensed another familiar aura.
"Is that my eldest disciple, Shi Jian?"
"Huh, he broke through to the Celestial Master level?"
The purple-robed sect leader showed a hint of surprise and astonishment.
Then he stroked his beard and laughed: "Good, good, good! Maoshan has gained another Celestial Master. This old Taoist can finally retire in peace."
... ...
On the other side, at the scene of the great battle.
The two zombies are locked in a fierce battle.
Shi Jian did not intervene, because this was the female zombie's combat experience, and a stage she had to go through to reach a higher level of evolution.
Only by personally defeating the corpses of emperors can one truly advance to a higher level.
Although he could have taken action, it deprived the female zombie of the experience and lessons learned in combat, which was a net loss.
Boom, boom, boom—
The mountains and forests were in turmoil, and large areas of forest were burned.
The black and red corpse poison surged out, like a sea of fire, burning all the trees, flowers, and rocks in its path.
Thick smoke was left behind, and the ground looked as if it had been corroded and scorched.
No wonder the legend that when the drought demon appears, the land turns barren for miles is not without reason.
It's already this terrifying even before it has become a drought demon. Once it truly evolves into a drought demon, its every move will cause the land to become barren and scorched.
"Roar~~"
The corpse was furious, but its opponent was incredibly powerful, no weaker than it, and perhaps even slightly stronger.
Because female zombies possess more powerful abilities; they can fly, burrow underground, and become invisible, and their combat power is far greater.
Her Zombie Crimson Flame technique posed a significant threat to the corpses.
The bones on his body were sizzling and smoking, showing signs of melting.
If the fight continues, it will probably be no match for the enemy, and may even be gradually suppressed.
At this point in the battle, the corpses were at a disadvantage.
bang bang bang~~
The two zombie kings fought fiercely, battling to the death.
After a long fight, several bones of the corpse were broken, and the female zombie was also injured, her wedding dress severely damaged.
The pale skin beneath was exposed, with a hint of reddish glow.
This is a sign of evolving into a drought demon; its aura is growing stronger and stronger, and its entire body is shrouded in a scorching black and red corpse aura.
Once the corpse energy ignites and transforms into crimson flames, she will evolve into a drought demon.
Boom~!
After a long battle, the skeleton was knocked down again.
This time, all the bones in its chest broke, and before it could recover, the female zombie attacked, blasting it with a burst of corpse flames.
"Ouch~~"
The skeleton let out a painful roar.
It was defeated, defeated by the female zombie.
The emperor's corpse was a tragic loss, and his fate was self-evident.
Whizzing--
Just then, powerful auras pierced through the air.
Shi Jian's expression shifted as he sensed a powerful aura of a Celestial Master approaching.
Other geomancers were also rapidly approaching.
"Red-clad, finish this quickly."
Shi Jian's thoughts raced, and he immediately guessed that it was other cultivators who had come over.
As soon as she finished speaking, the female zombie's sharp claws pierced the skeleton's neck and ripped its skull off.
The corpse was then directly stored in the system space by Shi Jian.
Only his head remained, falling into the hands of the female zombie.
"I will seal it away for now, you cannot absorb it for the time being."
After saying that, he sealed the corpse's head and stored it in the system space.
It's obviously not possible to let the female zombie absorb it now, because if she does, she'll probably advance to a higher level on the spot.
Moreover, the cultivators who have arrived from the surrounding area are also a problem, so let's leave here first.
"You go back first!"
He gave a shout, and the female zombie flew back to lie in the stone coffin.
After entering the system space, Shi Jian transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished into the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.
Swish!
Not long after they left, an old Taoist priest dressed in the robes of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain arrived at the scene with a sword.
Looking at the signs of a fight at the scene, the old master frowned.
"Such strong corpse energy!"
"Gone?"
The old celestial master's expression changed slightly as he tracked the Corpse King's aura with surprise and suspicion.
However, the auras of the two Corpse Kings vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Only two powerful wisps of corpse energy remained at the scene.
There was a third presence at the scene.
"Huh, is that the aura of Maoshan?"
The old master exclaimed in surprise, immediately sensing the origin of the third aura present.
It has the aura of Maoshan.
He seemed to understand something, as if he had just realized something.
Upon noticing the arrival of others, the old master immediately turned around and vanished.
He went directly to Maoshan, determined to get to the bottom of this.
Otherwise, the emergence of two corpse kings who are close to being incorruptible and drought demons would definitely not be a small matter.
Many Taoist practitioners arrived at the scene, but unfortunately, none of them could be found.
Ultimately, the matter was dropped.
