Both of their eyes were full of shock, and the zombie let out a low-pitched roar, only for them to see a dark-red flame burst out from its body.
The flames were extremely strange, and they sizzled on the ice, causing it to creak and gradually melt.
Zhang Yi’s mouth opened wide, thinking that this flame was faintly familiar, much like the Pure Yang Fire of a Core Formation Stage cultivator. However, it seemed to be contaminated by something impure, in addition to some evil energy, but its power was greater. It could actually melt his Extreme Northern Ice.
This was no ordinary Corpse King!
Could it be a mutated monster?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi thought of retreating, but at this moment, the Corpse King let out a fierce roar, emitting sea-like sound waves.
The sound waves visible to the naked eye actually condensed together and turned into two large silver nets, which were directed toward him and Chen Yu.
“Not good!”
Zhang Yi was shocked, he immediately took out the blue gourd and used a Magic Art. Suddenly, a wind fiercely blew forward, it then rotated, and spurt out numerous wind blades from the center, welcoming the silver net.
Chen Yu’s strength was weaker, so she naturally dared not to stay idle. With a solemn expression on her face, she flew down the mountain while her hand swung down, the red silk once again formed a round ball, which wrapped around her.
A burst of collision sounds fell into their ears…
The silver net was broken by the wind blades just as Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he turned around as if he felt something, and his expression was ugly.
“Junior sister!”
His eyes nearly fell out of their sockets, and he saw that the zombie had already burst out of ice, chasing after Chen Yu like a ghost.
Although the barrier formed by the Red Silk Magic Artifact was able to stop the silver net, it was torn into two halves under the zombie’s claws.
Seeing the monster approaching her, Chen Yu’s pretty face turned pale, but it was too late to dodge. She could only barely turn her body to the side.
The calamity of having a large hole in her belly was avoided, but her left shoulder was penetrated by the zombie’s claws, her face showed extreme pain.
The zombie’s attack was successful, and a sneer appeared on its ugly face. It was about to give the other party a fatal blow. However, its expression suddenly changed.
The Cold Scale Sword flew in front of him. Compared with before, the flying sword shone even brighter, exuding a soul-stirring Spiritual Power. Obviously, with his loved one in danger, Zhang Yi’s anger prompted him to display a certain Magic Art to temporarily improve his cultivation base.
At this time, his whole figure was wrapped in a ball of blue light, making people not dare to stare at it.
However, although the zombie avoided the sword’s edge, there was no fear on his face, and his claws had already recovered the Magic Artifact.
“Junior sister, are you okay?!”
“Thankfully!”
There were big drops of sweat on Chen Yu’s forehead. Her face was distorted by the pain, but it was extremely fortunate that she survived.
“Have a rest, and wait for me to avenge you.”
Originally, Zhang Yi had intended to retreat. It was not necessary to fight with this zombie in front of him, but now that it hurt his Daoist Companion…
Blood debts must be paid with blood, and if a man couldn’t even avenge his women, it would be quite humiliating.
However, after witnessing the magical powers of this monster, it would be foolish to treat it as an ordinary Corpse King. He glanced at it indifferently and said, “Since you have practiced for a thousand years, you should understand my language. Did junior Lu die by your hands? Why can you use his Natal Magic Artifact?”
The zombie tilted his head and opened his mouth with a strange smile on his face. His voice was very peculiar. It was like the sound of grating metal, which was impressive, but extremely uncomfortable.
“Do you mean that cultivator in white who broke into this king’s Cave Mansion two days ago? hehe, his Golden Core was very delicious…”
“What? You killed junior brother Lu and swallowed his Golden Core? “The old man clenched his fists, causing his knuckles to turn pale.
The zombie turned a blind eye to his question. Instead, it greedily looked at Zhang Yi and Chen Yu, “You both also have Golden Cores, so you should offer them to me. After consuming them, my cultivation base will rise again.”
After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the Magic Artifact hovering beside him, and the Green Jade Saber flashed with a green light, slashing towards Zhang Yi.
“How bold!” The old man was very angry and laughed in anger: “Aren’t you afraid of the wind slicing your tongue? Don’t even think about devouring my Golden Core.”
He also urged the Cold Scale Sword to fight against the green light.
It was no wonder that this monster could use junior brother Lu’s magic Artifact. After devouring a cultivator’s Golden Core, it could naturally sense and activate the imprint of the Magic Artifact without any rejection.
It was just that although thousand-year-old zombies possessed spiritual wisdom, he never heard of them being able to cultivate!
But in that lair, he absorbed the essence of many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, it was obviously practicing an evil Magic Art.
Although he has always been confident in his strength, Zhang Yi was still a little worried when he thought of this monster’s unusual behavior.
He should finish this battle as soon as possible.
He muttered an incantation, and the blue light all over his body became even more dazzling, he wrapped his hands together, as if holding a ball, then suddenly big shouted, “Restrain!”
With a clanging sound, the Cold Scale Sword gave a heavy blow and broke away from its entanglement with the Green Jade Saber. Flying back to the old man’s body and seeing Zhang Yi’s action, Lin Xuan who was hiding in the dark couldn’t help but be puzzled. Now that the battle was at its climax, he did not take out a new Magic Artifact but retrieved his most powerful Natal Magic Artifact. This move was very contrary to common sense. What were Zhang Yi’s intentions exactly?
In the blue light, Zhang Yi’s expression was very painful, with sweat falling down his forehead, and the trembling of his body became more obvious and intense.
Did his hidden illness unexpectedly relapse?
Lin Xuan just came up with this idea and then immediately gave it up. Not to mention that cultivators couldn’t get sick, even if there was any hidden injury or illness that suddenly occurred, with his cultivation base of the Core Formation Stage, he could forcefully suppress it in a short period of time.
In addition, although the other party seemed to be in pain, his Spiritual Power was not at all weakened, but was getting more and more powerful…
The scene in front of him is really weird!
