This mysterious man who came riding the wind with his men was obviously the "Your Excellency" mentioned by the giant general in golden armor, but at this moment he looked like a mortal.
It's easy to tell that this absurd feeling can't be true. Either the method of concealment is magical or the gap in cultivation level is too great to reveal the truth.
Compared to the "arrogant" golden-armored giant general, the gaze of this man in green was extremely purposeful, or it could be said that it was simply fixed on the location where the giant corpse was hiding.
The giant corpse hid underground and restrained all its breath. Of course, it couldn't see the situation on the ground, but it was a feeling, a strong feeling that it was seen.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was standing in front of the well outside the deserted house in a white shirt. The warrior in golden armor followed him and stood two steps behind Ji Yuan.
It seems that the former is small and the latter is burly, but after experiencing this crisis, Yu Huang Zhixian and others inexplicably feel that the former is more majestic.
Ji Yuan had killed enough evil corpses tonight. On the Ainan Mountain, the peak where the Nanwang Village was located was almost collapsed by the sword energy of the Qingteng Sword. In total, he had killed nine evil corpses, making a total of ten including the one still in his sleeve.
These things are bloodthirsty, have great strength and tough skin, are somewhat intelligent, and can burrow underground. They are definitely much more powerful than the zombies that Ji Yuan has in mind.
Moreover, this kind of evil corpses are almost the natural enemies of living things. They are born to thirst for the blood, essence and soul of living beings. There has never been a good example in recorded history. They are one of the few evil creatures that Ji Yuan extremely hates from the bottom of his heart.
Even if the giant corpse was restraining its breath at this moment, the stench of corpses in the distance was still very strong in Ji Yuan's sense of smell. It could be said that this smell came from both the corpse and countless victims.
"I guess you are the source of these corpse monsters?"
Ji Yuan spoke in a calm voice, his tone was deep, vast and far-reaching. To the people in the deserted house behind him, it was clear but not loud, but to the giant corpse underground outside the village, it sounded like thunder.
The giant corpse no longer had any hope, the corpse qi on its body was churning, and it wanted to escape underground immediately, but a strong sense of crisis made it instinctively tell it not to do so.
Ji Yuan looked in the direction of the giant corpse and was a little surprised that it did not escape directly. After a little thought, he realized that there were only two possibilities for this situation.
First, the giant zombie has a powerful back-up and is not to be feared at all. Second, he doesn’t dare to run at all.
For now, the second possibility is more likely. In this case, Ji Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, and his next words were extremely direct.
"Come out and see me within three breaths."
The voice was still very calm, but it carried a sense of unquestionableness. It did not specify whether these three breaths were long or short, nor did it explain what the consequences would be.
But just with this one sentence, not only the giant corpse hiding underground outside the village, but also Huang Zhixian, Han Ming and others in the deserted house realized that if they did not do as Mr. Ji said, the next moment would definitely not be peaceful.
Looking at the golden-armored warrior standing quietly behind Ji Yuan, he appears even more persuasive.
Three breaths was just an excuse by Ji Yuan. He was too lazy to even calculate it. Not long after he finished speaking, his left hand had already raised up.
The Green Ivy Sword appeared in Ji Yuan's hand with a bright glow.
The moment the magic sword emerged, the giant corpse underground outside the village seemed to fall into extreme cold, and its heart felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.
There was no time to think at all, and he hastily pushed aside the ground and headed towards the ground.
With a "bang...", the giant corpse broke out of the ground with broken soil and mud.
"I'm coming out! I'm coming out!"
It was the first time that the giant corpse really saw Ji Yuan. He was standing in the rain in a white shirt, with a strong man holding a sword in his left hand behind him.
Ji Yuan was also slightly surprised by the size of the evil corpse. He subconsciously turned around to look at the golden-armored warrior behind him. He was mentally prepared that the evil corpse could speak. Although the previous ones could only roar, this one was obviously different.
Since we are cooperating, that's good.
"come over."
After hearing Ji Yuan's words, the giant corpse hesitated for a moment, but quickly returned to the village from outside the village. Soon, it was standing on a village path about ten feet away from Ji Yuan.
The giant corpse was covered in dry brown, its skin cuticle looked like it was covered with scales, its eyes were filled with black energy, and the heavy rain could make some drops of sound when it fell on its body, showing how hard its body was.
Even though there was fear when looking at Ji Yuan, he still felt extremely oppressive just by looking at his appearance.
"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them, you can either take a sword blow or be burned by my fire and leave. If you don't answer, I'll destroy your body and soul immediately. Do you understand?"
Ji Yuan's words remained calm, as if he was saying something that was a matter of course.
The giant corpse looked at the man in white shirt not far away. The man's eyes were pale, without any spirit, without any waves or emotions. He looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a weed on the roadside.
The rain was not drawn elsewhere, but slid down naturally when it fell on the man in white, leaving his clothes and hair unstained.
"I understand. Please ask!"
"His intelligence is quite profound..."
After saying this, Ji Yuan continued to ask.
"What kind of evil corpse are you? You are a kind of zombie. How many servants like you are there?"
The word "corpse evil" is considered a very offensive term, but it depends on who says it. It would be easy for an ordinary person to dare to shout like that, but when it came out of Ji Yuan's mouth, the giant corpse didn't even dare to fart and could only answer honestly.
"If we use the orthodox term, I should be called a corpse demon. As you said, it can also be considered a kind of zombie, a slave..."
The giant corpse looked at the headless corpse not far away.
"The slaves need me to shed my own blood. There are thirteen of them in total. There should be one alive, but I don't know where he went..."
Ji Yuan glanced at his right sleeve, then looked at the giant corpse again and asked.
"If they are your slaves, why don't you know where they are? Can't you control them?"
The giant corpse answered carefully after careful consideration.
"I don't know about this either. I'm not lying to you, sir. I should have known where he was in the past. Now I only know that he is still alive..."
"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded. After knowing the situation of the slaves, another thought flashed through his mind. In this situation, the other party would most likely not dare to lie, but he still wanted to trick the giant corpse.
So after a brief silence, Ji Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wider, stared at the giant corpse coldly, and no longer asked ordinary questions, but uttered an imperial command that was full of deterrence to evil creatures.
"Where is your master, and why did he send you here?"
The sound was like spring thunder, and like gongs and drums hitting the giant corpse's mind.
"I... don't have a master!"
There was an obvious pause in the giant corpse's words, which made Ji Yuan narrow his eyes. He looked up and down at the corpse's body before asking again.
"One last question. What's your name? Why is it that although your spirit and soul are intact, your life and soul are incomplete?"
The giant corpse quickly answered again.
"My name is Wu Chu. I am a corpse demon, hated by heaven and earth. Many of them have been dead for many years and their bodies are filled with corpse qi. It is normal for their bodies and souls to be damaged."
Ji Yuan let out a long “Oh…” and nodded with a smile.
"There are many strange people and things in the cultivation world. For some beings, some people especially like to meddle in other people's affairs. Unfortunately, although Ji has his own principles in doing things, he is seen as a nosy person in the eyes of outsiders."
When Ji Yuan said this, the giant corpse began to feel more nervous, but fortunately the following words made it feel a little relieved.
"But I am a cultivator of the immortal realm, and I will never break my promise. It is up to you to choose whether to be struck by a sword or burned by fire. The time for consideration is still three breaths."
After Ji Yuan said this, he stood there waiting quietly. Although he seemed to be waiting calmly, he had actually concentrated his mind and was moving his magic power between his body and mind, brewing a Samadhi True Fire.
The Qingteng Sword was in his hand. Even though it didn't reveal any sharp aura at this moment, the words on the scabbard were there. Especially when Ji Yuan held the sword just now, he really wanted to draw the sword and kill the corpse. He must have been stimulated by the sense of crisis at that time, so the giant corpse appeared.
It might even have guessed that it was a magical sword.
As long as it is not stupid, the giant corpse will definitely choose to be burned once. In fact, the corpse demon thinks so too. After all, although there are many divine fires in the world, the corpse gas itself is extremely strong and is also the most yin and cold thing. As long as it is not burned continuously by a spell, it is very likely that it can withstand the burning. After all, it is a rainy day.
Ji Yuan had calculated the corpse demon's mentality and prepared to give it a surprise.
"I choose to be burned by fire. I hope you will keep your promise and let me go after I am burned by fire!"
In order to avoid causing Ji Yuan's displeasure, the giant corpse now endured the strong corpse gas in its body and compressed it inside his body. At this moment, he even bowed and saluted like a human, doing all the superficial work.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm a man of my words. Stand still, it's just a mouthful of anger!"
After saying this, Ji Yuan held his breath for a moment and opened his mouth again.
This time it was no longer the breath of real fire, but a cluster of red-gray flames was spewed out from Ji Yuan's mouth. There was almost no temperature change around it, but it was like the dark night passed by the distorted flames.
The giant corpse, who had just finished saluting, looked up and saw that the fire was already in front of him. He resisted the urge to dodge and stood where he was.
brush-
Although he only touched the chest of the giant corpse, the red-gray flames instantly burned all over his body.
"ah--"
Almost in an instant, the corpse lost its color and turned into a fiery red body, with grayish white appearing from its mouth, eyes, nose, ears and other holes.
"Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..."
He had lost control of his body and barely managed to take three steps outward. This also lasted for three breaths before the screaming and body movements stopped.
"Boom..."
The body fell to the ground and shattered into charcoal powder.
