In a vast black bamboo forest, huge explosions were heard from time to time, and flames shot up into the sky.
Deep in the black bamboo forest, there is an open area.
There were three bodies lying on the ground. Fang Yufei, Lei Hong and Li Xiao were covered by a light blue light curtain, and their faces were full of fear.
A burly young man in black stood opposite, his whole body wrapped in a black aura, with some black spiritual patterns on his arms, three eyes, long ears and a high nose.
The black-shirted young man pierced Fang Qingxue's chest with his hands, grabbed a mini Nascent Soul from it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
"Demon corpse!"
Lei Hong's face turned ugly. He pinched his fingers and thunder and lightning appeared in the sky. Thick silver lightning flashed across the sky and struck the demon corpse.
Fang Yufei waved the red feather fan in her hand, releasing a red flame that transformed into a red fire python over a hundred feet long, and pounced on the demon corpse.
A black light shone from the demon's body. When his arms moved, countless black threads shot out.
With a loud rumbling sound, the silver lightning completely dissipated, and the red fire python was pierced by dense black silk threads, turning into a huge red fire cloud.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yufei's face looked particularly ugly. In her hand was a light green talisman with a green firebird pattern on the surface. It emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, which was obviously a fifth-level talisman.
Lei Hong summoned a small mirror that was constantly flashing with golden light. There were arcs of electricity jumping on the mirror surface, and the spiritual energy was amazing. It was actually a spiritual treasure.
The demon corpse didn't take it to heart. Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance. The demon corpse looked into the distance, and a black light flashed on its body, turning into a gray hurricane, sweeping towards the distance.
Fang Yufei and the other two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
They did not dare to withdraw their defenses, and each used their own methods to look around.
After a cup of tea, they confirmed that there was no problem and finally they felt relieved.
"Leave here quickly. We actually encountered a demon corpse. It can actually defile spiritual treasures. What a pity for Madam Fang."
Li Xiao said in a regretful tone that the demon corpse was only in the Nascent Soul stage, but it was invulnerable to swords and spears, and could defile spiritual treasures, making it really troublesome.
They collected their companions' bodies and belongings and left the place.
······
In a swamp somewhere, as far as the eye can see, there is black mud and puddles everywhere, a large number of rotten trees standing, and a rotten smell in the air.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Han Debiao stood in an open space, looking at the swamp from afar, their faces solemn.
"It seems that Jiuyang Mountain has changed a lot over the past few years."
Han Changming frowned and said that they had been advancing according to the map and had hit a wall four times, but fortunately they were safe.
"Let's take a detour! It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."
Ye Xin suggested that as long as they could leave Jiuyang Mountain safely, it would be fine if it took a little longer, safety came first.
Han Changming nodded in agreement.
Han Debiao had no objection either. Having a map didn't mean they could do whatever they wanted.
They walked towards a high peak not far away, with two monkey puppet beasts walking in front, not very fast.
As Han Changming moved forward, he used his golden eyes to observe the mountain. Han Debiao's spiritual sense was greatly opened, scanning the area within a radius of several miles. Ye Xin was responsible for defense.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, a deafening explosion was heard, and a huge red mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
Han Changming frowned, his eyes shone with golden light, and his eyeballs turned golden.
He could clearly see that a strange red bird was chasing a young woman in a red skirt and an old man in a green robe. The bird's wingspan was over a hundred feet wide, with a lion's head, a bird's body, and tiger's claws. It was obviously a fifth-rank demon bird.
"Oh no, there is a fifth-level demon bird coming."
Han Changming frowned, they couldn't outrun the fifth-level demon bird.
He thought about it and released the Xuyuan insect.
The Xuyuan worm immediately spewed out a golden light, which hit the void. The void suddenly rippled and twisted and deformed. Its claws grabbed the void and tore a hole about ten feet in size.
The Xuyuan worm is currently a third-grade superior quality one. The temporary space torn out can last longer. The more people there are, the shorter the temporary space will last.
It was no problem for the three of them to hide in the temporary space for a quarter of an hour.
Han Changming and the other two quickly drilled in, and the Xuyuan worm followed suit, and the crack suddenly healed.
The young woman in the red dress let out a scream. Two golden lights pierced her chest and she started bleeding. A giant fireball fell from the sky and billowing flames engulfed her figure.
When the old man in green robe saw this scene, he was so frightened that his soul flew away. His escape light increased greatly and he quickly passed the peak and appeared in the sky above where Han Changming and the other two were hiding.
The void fluctuated, and a huge red tiger claw appeared out of thin air and slapped the old man in green robe.
The old man in green robe spat out a large mouthful of blood, fell from a high altitude, and fell to the ground.
A gust of hot wind blew, and a strange bird suddenly appeared in front of him. A pair of tiger claws instantly pierced his head. As soon as the mini Yuanying flew out of the corpse, it was covered by a red light and was sucked into the mouth of the strange bird and disappeared.
The strange bird let out a loud beast roar, flapped its wings lightly, and hundreds of red fireballs flew out and hit the void near where Han Changming and the other two were hiding.
After a loud rumbling sound, billowing flames engulfed an area of several miles, heat waves rolled, and the void was slightly distorted.
In the temporary space, Han Changming and the other two felt a strong heat wave.
It is not easy to tear the space apart. The fifth-level demon bird obviously does not have the ability to tear the space apart. After venting its anger, it ate the body of the old man in green robe and left.
Han Changming did not leave and continued to stay in the temporary space.
He activated his golden eyes and looked outside.
After more than half a quarter of an hour, the demon bird did not appear, and it seemed that it had really left. Han Changming breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when a dazzling green light suddenly appeared in the distance, followed by a deafening explosion.
Han Changming was shocked and had to stay in the temporary space.
A green tornado swept in from a distance, followed by a gray hurricane.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the sky above the blue tornado, and a dark giant hand appeared out of nowhere and hit the blue tornado.
After a deafening roar, a green tornado exploded, and air waves rolled. Two embarrassed figures flew out. They were Hong Feng and a burly young man in black.
"Hey, it's Brother Hong from Yuquan Sect."
Han Changming let out a light exclamation.
He and Han Debiao visited Yuquan Gate and exchanged things with Hong Feng.
Han Changming didn't expect that he would meet Hong Feng here. Hong Feng has the cultivation base of the late Nascent Soul stage. The enemy must be extraordinary to make him so embarrassed.
The gray hurricane suddenly stopped, and it turned out to be a burly young man in black, his body wrapped in a black air. The young man in black had three eyes, long ears and a high nose.
"You actually used the spirit bones of us demons to refine your avatar. You are really brave!"
The black-shirted young man's tone was cold, and countless black air surged from his body.
"There really are demon corpses in Jiuyang Mountain. I am just unlucky. Do you really want to kill them all?"
Hong Feng's tone was cold, and he held a talisman that was shining with golden light in his hand. Countless golden arcs were jumping on the surface of the talisman, and it gave off a terrifying aura. It was a fifth-level talisman, the Qian Lei Mie Mo Talisman.
"Demon! Demon corpse!"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. He had also heard that there were demon corpses lurking in Jiuyang Mountain. He thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"It's just a fifth-level talisman. What can it do to me?"
The young man in black sneered, a black light flashing from his body. He flipped his hand and took out a short knife with a shining black light. There were two tooth-sized gaps on the blade, and more than a dozen tiny cracks.
"Tongtian Lingbao?"
Hong Feng exclaimed, his face ashen.
"That's what you human cultivators said. This is the Heaven-reaching Magic Treasure, something used by our Saint Clan. Even though it's damaged, it's still no problem for us to kill you."
After the young man in black shirt said this, the black dagger in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling black light and slashed towards Hong Feng in the air.
After a burst of piercing knife sounds, hundreds of black knife auras swept out, like a black net of death, blocking all of Hong Feng's escape routes.
Hong Feng hurriedly waved the green flag, releasing a green hurricane hundreds of feet high to meet the attack.
After a huge explosion, the green hurricane smashed hundreds of black sword auras into pieces.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the young man in black suddenly appeared in front of Hong Feng. Hong Feng hurriedly offered the golden talisman in his hand.
After a loud rumbling sound, the golden talisman exploded and turned into a huge golden sun, submerging the body of the young man in black.
A powerful wind wave blew Hong Feng away, and he landed on the ground with a smug look on his face.
"You are lucky to die at the hands of the Qianlei Demon-killing Talisman."
"Really? Not necessarily!"
A cold male voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Feng felt a piercing chill coming from behind him, and the protective aura shattered instantly. Then his chest felt cold, and a large black hand pierced through his chest, grabbing a heart.
An expression of disbelief appeared on Hong Feng's face. The lightning dissipated, and a huge pit several miles in size appeared on the ground.
The young man in black stood behind Hong Feng with a cold look in his eyes.
He clasped his five fingers together and crushed Hong Feng's heart. A mini Yuanying flew out of the body. Before it flew far, the black-shirted young man opened his mouth and sprayed out a black light, which covered the mini Yuanying and rolled it into his mouth and disappeared.
As soon as Hong Feng died, his incarnation collapsed on the ground, motionless.
The incarnation has no independent consciousness and is just an advanced puppet. Once the original body dies, the incarnation cannot act independently.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the void behind the young man in black, and a golden gun shadow swept out and hit the young man in black accurately, with a muffled sound.
A golden spear pierced the young man in black, who was Han Debiao.
Han Changming did not expect Hong Feng to be killed so quickly. It was not that he wanted to avenge Hong Feng, but the temporary space opened up by the Xuyuan insects could not hold on, and they were forced to show up.
Han Debiao injected his tremendous magic power into the Golden Scale Soul-Destroying Spear. Countless golden runes emerged from the spear head, and a golden flame followed, spreading along the spear head.
The young man in black was engulfed in golden flames, and a burning smell came out.
A gigantic blue seal fell from the sky and smashed towards the young man in black, as if it was going to smash him into a pulp.
The young man in black was about to dodge when his body suddenly felt as heavy as if he had lost thousands of pounds, and a strong suction force was generated under his feet.
He opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of dark light, which supported the giant blue seal.
When the giant blue seal came into contact with the black light, a puff of green smoke rose and its spiritual light dimmed.
Han Debiao's face changed slightly when he saw this scene. The demon corpse could actually defile the magic weapon, and maybe the spiritual weapon could be defiled as well. He quickly took back the Golden Scale Soul-Destroying Spear.
Han Changming summoned the Golden Dragon Bell and entered several spells. After a deafening dragon roar was heard, the mini dragon on the surface of the Golden Dragon Bell seemed to come alive, and it kept swimming around on the surface of the bell, emitting a golden sound wave, and instantly appeared in front of the young man in black.
The young man in black shirt had a bright black glow on his body and his hair stood up like steel needles.
The golden sound waves swept across the body of the young man in black, leaving many horrible bloodstains on his body. The demon corpse was originally a zombie body, so even if his internal organs were broken, it was not a big deal.
The blue light of the giant blue seal surged, defeating the black light and smashing towards the young man in black.
The young man in black opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of black flame, which fell on the giant blue seal. The giant blue seal was immediately submerged in the black flame, and the spiritual light dimmed again.
The giant blue seal fell down, and the young man in black moved his arms and smashed the giant blue seal. There were several tiny cracks on the surface of the giant blue seal.
Han Changming flipped his palm, and a glowing banana fan appeared in his hand. There were patterns of spiders, centipedes, toads, scorpions, geckos, etc. on the surface of the fan.
The Five Poisons Soul-Destroying Fan is a top-grade magic weapon.
Considering that the demon corpse can spit out corpse fire to corrode treasures, he plans to use magic to attack the demon corpse.
He fanned the air lightly, and a pungent five-colored poisonous mist swept out. Wherever it passed, the ground was corroded into holes and green smoke billowed.
The demon corpse obviously also realized that something was wrong. A black light shone from its body and it released a gray hurricane that blew away the five-colored poisonous fog.
There was a deafening roar of thunder from the sky, and a huge thundercloud suddenly appeared in the sky. With lightning and thunder, silver thunder balls as big as watermelons fell and hit the demon corpse.
The silver lightning ball hit the demon corpse and exploded instantly. The demon corpse was submerged in the dazzling silver lightning and a burning smell came from its body.
After a strange roar, the giant blue seal suddenly broke into pieces and flew in all directions.
A gray light flew out from the lightning and instantly appeared in front of Han Changming. He moved his arms and smashed towards Han Changming.
Han Changming was well prepared and put on a fifth-level mechanical arm early on.
His magic power was like a rushing flood, injected into the mechanical arm. Countless red runes lit up on the surface of the mechanical arm, and a ball of red flame emerged and rushed forward.
After two muffled thuds, Han Changming felt a huge force coming at him, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably, while the demon corpse was engulfed by billowing flames.
The demon corpse wanted to continue attacking Han Changming, but the ground suddenly turned grayish white, and two huge yellow hands broke out of the ground and grabbed the demon corpse's feet like lightning.
The demon corpse felt as if its body weighed tens of millions of pounds and it was difficult for it to move a single step.
It spewed out a stream of black corpse fire, which landed on two large yellow hands, and bursts of green smoke immediately rose.
After a deafening thunder, a lightning ball as big as a house fell from the sky and hit the demon corpse.
After a loud bang, a dazzling silver lightning flashed and submerged the body of the demon corpse, and the air wave was like a tide.
Han Debiao moved his arms, and dense black fist shadows flew out and disappeared into the silver lightning.
After a while, the lightning dissipated, and the demon corpse's skin and flesh were torn apart, its body surface was charred black, and a burning smell came out.
Han Debiao frowned. It’s not dead yet. The body of this demon corpse must be too strong!
The ground began to shake violently, and a yellow giant over ten feet tall emerged from the ground. Its facial features were blurred, and it smashed the demon corpse with its right fist.
Countless black threads emerged from the surface of the demon corpse and pierced through the body of the yellow giant. The yellow giant suddenly exploded and turned into countless yellow sands, wrapping around the body of the demon corpse.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion descended from the sky, releasing soul-devouring forbidden light that covered the body of the demon corpse.
A ball of black light flew out of the demon corpse's body and was swallowed by the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
After the Amethyst Flying Scorpion advanced to the fourth level, it mastered a new magical power, the Soul-Devouring Forbidden Light.
The demon corpse fell to the ground, motionless.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion fell to the ground and lay motionless. No matter how Han Changming communicated with it, it did not respond.
It had devoured many monster spirits and poisonous plants before. This time, it devoured the soul of the demon corpse and fell into a coma.
Han Changming checked carefully and found that the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was just unconscious, so he put it back into the spirit beast bag.
Han Debiao activated the Golden Scale Soul-Destroying Spear, releasing a golden flame that burned the demon corpse. When the flames dissipated, a black round bead remained on the ground.
"Corpse beads! This is an excellent material for tempering the body."
Han Debiao said with some surprise.
"Fifth uncle, the corpse bead of the demon corpse is extraordinary. You should not take it. Keep it for now!"
Han Changming suggested.
Han Debiao also planned so and put it away.
Hong Feng's incarnation was destroyed in the aftermath of the fight, but the magic treasure driven by Hong Feng was not destroyed.
The Wind-Controlling Flag is a magical treasure driven by the fierce wind.
They searched Hong Feng's belongings and got a topographic map from his storage ring. There were many markings on the map. Compared with the map Han Debiao got, this map was more detailed.
Han Changming didn’t think much about it. If it was a demon corpse in the God Transformation Stage, they would definitely not be its match.
After the stone man advanced to the fourth level, his gravity ability became even stronger. Otherwise, Han Changming and the other two would not have been able to kill the demon corpse.
"Let's leave this place as soon as possible! I hope the rest of the journey will be smooth and we won't encounter any fifth-level monsters or demon corpses in the God Transformation Stage."
Han Changming put away the treasures and the spirit insect stone man, and walked towards the peak with Han Debiao and Ye Xin.
