Fighting poison with poison indeed consumed a lot of Spiritual Power.
However, Lin Xuan was not afraid, as he had the array to help him along with a lot of Spirit Stones and pills to replenish his Spiritual Power. Unless this monster broke out of the array, it would definitely die.
The Corpse King kept roaring, and the bloody red glow released by its Corpse Bead had reached a shocking level. Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was not shocked or frightened but delighted. The other party was just an arrow at the end of its flight, the last radiance of the setting sun.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the strange dagger.
One shouldn’t look down on it for being inconspicuous, as it was much more powerful than the Wu Hook, and was a Supreme Grade Spirit Tool.
“Go!”
Lin Xuan pointed his hand to it and used a Magic Art, and the dagger suddenly flashed with a chilling black light. The Corpse King seemed to know how powerful this thing was. It opened its mouth and with a loud roar, its sharp nails suddenly extended and intercepted the dagger.
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t let it spoil his good plan.
With a thought, a beautiful girl appeared in the air. After Lin Yue’er appeared, she immediately took out the Jade Snow Bracelet without uttering a single word.
No one knew what kind of Magic Art she used, but the Jade Snow Bracelet’s speed was astonishingly fast. It actually arrived first, and unexpectedly intercepted the zombie’s ghost barrier, while the dagger whizzed towards the Corpse Bead.
Snap, a crisp cracking sound was transmitted to their ears. Under the combined attacks of so many people, the outer protective film finally couldn’t support itself and turned into nothingness. The Corpse Bead then also shattered under the attack of the strange dagger.
The zombie roared with an extremely painful expression on its face. After shaking and twitching for a while, it fell from the sky.
However, Lin Xuan’s expression was not at all relieved. Instead, he looked solemn and stared at the shattered Corpse Bead.
A thumb-sized, crimson ball of light floated out of it.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath. With his right hand, he drew seven to eight circles on his chest, and a group of purple balls of light wrapped around his palm. Then without a word, he pushed them into the Hundred Souls Banner.
After absorbing such pure Yin Spiritual Power, the Hundred Soul Banner creaked, and countless ghosts emerged from it. Which then transformed into a huge black hand, moving to grab the crimson ball of light.
This thing is the soul of the Corpse King.
The zombie’s soul naturally refused to just wait for its death, and it flashed brightly. Even if it just wanted to escape, its speed was jaw-dropping.
Unfortunately, it was useless, as it was already trapped in an array.
Lin Xuan raised his hand and made a tapping motion. The strange black hand quickly disintegrated and turned into a huge net, enveloping the zombie’s soul…
It couldn’t hide. Covered by a giant net, it was still screaming and struggling.
Lin Xuan showed joy on his face and used another Magic Art. The giant net suddenly tightened and emitted a black lightning bolt. The zombie’s soul was gradually subdued by this heavy blow.
Lin Xuan reached out and shook the Hundred Soul Banner slightly, sucking the soul into it.
Lin Xuan felt immensely relieved. Although he was 90% confident in this plan, the monster in front of him was obviously not an ordinary Corpse King. Although it was seriously injured, it was difficult to guarantee that it didn’t have an extremely powerful hidden move. Fortunately, he managed to subdue it without danger.
After that, Lin Xuan stopped operating the Extreme Yin Spirit Array and collected its equipment one by one. Then carefully put it in his storage bag.
Without its help, whether he could win or lose was difficult to say. He naturally cherished this treasure in every possible way.
The wilderness disappeared, and even the corpse fog in the valley gradually receded, proving that the monsters had all been cleared.
The Corpse King lay on the ground, motionlessly. This time, it was not pretending to be dead. Its soul had been sucked into the Hundred Soul Banner, and what was left was just an empty shell.
Lin Xuan slowly walked forward.
Although the zombie’s corpse couldn’t be said to be riddled with holes, it was still quite seriously damaged. Lin Xuan sighed and transferred some Spiritual Power to his eyes. After a while, he tilted his head and whispered to himself, “Sure enough, what’s contained in the Profound Demon Scripture is true. After a zombie cultivates for a thousand years, the damage it receives can actually slowly heal by itself.”
Even the soulless body in front of him is the same, but the speed was a little slower.
He grabbed the ghost bag on his waist, opened it, and a black light flew out from the inside. It wrapped around the corpse and took it back.
Lin Xuan showed a hint of joy on his face.
According to the Heavenly Devil Corpse technique, ordinary zombies could only be controlled by a little refining with a Magic Art. But once they reach the level of Corpse King, it would get much more complicated.
First of all, it was necessary to use a certain Magic Art to extract its soul, because zombies with intelligence couldn’t be used. However, this process was not only difficult, but it also carried many risks. If one was not careful, one may even be swallowed by the zombie’s soul.
Today, by coincidence, although the method of extracting the soul was quite different from what was recorded in the Profound Demon Scripture, it was still successful.
Of course, the rest of its corpse couldn’t be used with Lin Xuan’s current cultivation base. The Millennium Corpse King was powerful enough to compete with Core Formation Stage cultivators. To manipulate such a monster, the Heavenly Devil Corpse technique must at least be practiced to the third layer.
But no matter what, this was still a huge gain. After all, the Corpse King couldn’t be sought or bought with money, so it was best to put it away first.
After that, Lin Xuan did not leave the corpse valley.
Instead, he returned to the zombie lair without hesitation.
Logically, it should be impossible for any more monsters to appear, but as the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with being careful. So he still took out a Spirit Tool.
As a result, it was naturally unnecessary, and he came to the cave where the Corpse King was first sighted without incident.
The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were still unconscious, and their complexions were pale.
However, after a brief inspection, there were no serious problems. Of course, this seemed to be a little optimistic. To be correct, a lot of their Vital Qi were sucked by the Corpse King, and their cultivation base definitely dropped a few levels, some even directly to the Spirit Condensation Stage.
Lin Xuan would naturally not show any mercy, and completely remove all their storage bags.
This harvest was really not trivial. In addition to the wealth of a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and even the Green Jade Saber from the Core Formation Stage cultivator named Lu, which was a Magic Artifact. Even if Lin Xuan was already very rich, he still earned a lot.
