“Sizzle Ice shards flew everywhere.
The normal zombie king’s body was hard and not severed into two pieces, but was only knocked away with an icy wound on its chest.
The flying sword did not slow down and continued to slash towards another zombie king.
As for the other two blood corpses, they were already close to the Silver Moon Sect elder.
“Silver Moon Cold Light!”
The elder of the Silver Moon Sect remained calm and shot out two beams of cold light.
The two blood zombies were frozen, and their movements stiffened.
Although blood zombies were not afraid of blades and swords, they were greatly restrained by ice and fire.
Just as the flying sword swas about to fly back to provide support after slashing another corpse king, a giant hand made of black blood appeared out of nowhere and grabbed towards the flying sword.
Once she lost the flying sword, the strength of the Silver Moon Sect elder would decrease by at least 70 percent.
The flying sword emitted a burst of cold light and suddenly turned around to slash.
“Whoosh!”
The giant hand was instantly cut in half, and a large amount of black blood froze, falling like hail.
“Corpse Qi fills the sky!”
Elder Black Blood saw how seriously his blood was restrained, so he opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of black qi.
The black and poisonous corpse Qi swept across the sky, covering the sun and the sky, making everything dark.
“Ice Seal for a Thousand Miles!”
The elder of the Silver Moon Sect also released white cold air to resist the corpse aura.
The world was divided into two colors, black and white, each occupying one side.
The attacks of both sides did not have many moves, and they were not pleasing
to the eye. It was more ot a direct confrontation, which was overwhelming.
But seemingly simple attacks carried a power that could not be resisted by the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Dao was the simplest, and it was a competition of strength, understanding, and utilization of power.
Every time the strengths of both sides collided, it made Zhang Chen’s heart tremble.
The battle at the Golden Core Stage was naturally not something that could be ended in a short time.
As the saying went, when immortals fought, mortals suffered.
As the corpse aura spread, countless humans and animals breathed it in and began turning into zombies.
Although the cold air did not harm anyone, it destroyed countless crops, resulting in no harvest.
A once lively small town was turned into a dead city in an instant due to being covered in corpse Qi.
The zombies transformed by corpse energy were not controlled by Elder Black Blood, but he had the spell to control corpses. These were only the lowest-level zombies, so he could still control them.
Under the control of Elder Black Blood, the zombies that the ordinary people turned into rushed towards the Elder of the Silver Moon Sect.
Naturally, newborn zombies could not injure Golden Core cultivators. They were frozen into ice sculptures or killed by flying swords even before getting within a kilometer of the Silver Moon Sect Elder.
Elder Black Blood did this purely to disgust the other side.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk- You claim to be the righteous path, but what is the difference between you and our demonic path when you slaughter ordinary people?” Elder Black Blood sneered and taunted.
The Silver Moon Sect elder said coldly, “They’re no longer humans. All I can do is kill you, the demon, and avenge them.”
“Hahaha, so this is the righteous path. As a late-stage Golden Core, cant you sense that these ordinary people are still only half-dead and half-alive?
As long as you are willing to spend your mana, you can force the corpse poison out of their bodies.” Elder Black Blood laughed smugly.
The Silver MoonSect Elder frowned and did not say anything.
“Why aren’t you talking? Are you reluctant to spend mana or have I hit the nail on the head that you people in the righteous path don’t care about the lives of ordinary people at all?
“Is this the so-called righteous path?” Elder Black Blood mocked.
The elder of the Silver Moon Sect’s brow furrowed slightly and still did not speak. Although she knew that the Elder Black Blood had a wicked heart, she was affected by his words.
The Black Blood Elder again controlled those pregnant women and children who had turned into corpses, walking in front. Even the babies in the swaddling clothes could be seen.
Seeing this scene, the Silver Moon Sect Elder paused and gritted her teeth and said, “Despicable!”
“I’m a demon, so I’m naturally despicable. I’m not like you orthodox sects who pretend to be benevolent and righteous. You could have saved these people, but you chose to kill them.” Elder Black Blood was not ashamed, but proud.
“Do you see the pregnant woman in front of you? She’s been pregnant for 10 months and is about to give birth. Unfortunately, she’s going to die under your sword. One corpse and two lives.
“That fetus is so pitiful! It could have come to this world with just a little more time.
“Do you see that beggar next to her? Although abandoned by his parents, he is still living stubbornly, those wounds on his hands and feet were probably caused by fighting with stray dogs for food.
“Death may be a good thing for him, and he won’t have to suffer from hunger
“By the way, there’s a blind girl not far away. I suggest you kill her first. She can’t see who killed her and won’t hold a grudge against you naturally.
“And the one on the right…”
Elder Black Blood elder launched a psychological attack and kept talking about how pitiful these ordinary people were.
The expression of the Silver Moon Sect Elder changed and she did not make a move for a long time. In the end, she only froze these pregnant women and children without harming their lives.
Elder Black Blood became even more aggressive. “What’s the use of doing this? They’re already infected with corpse poison. Either kill them or remove the poison for them.”
The Silver Moon Sect Elder’s expression was ugly. She was certain that if she saved these mortals, Elder Black Blood would definitely infect more mortals for her to save. It would constantly consume her magic power and distract her from protecting mortals.
Elder Black Blood added fuel to the fire again, restoring some consciousness to the mortals controlled by corpse poison.
“How did I get here? Why can’t I control my body? What happened? Help, help, someone please save me!”
“I can’t die, my family needs me to take care of them. What will happen to them if I die?”
“Is that a fairy in the sky? Please save me! ” “You don’t have to save me. Please save my child!”
“Has anyone seen my wife? She’s pregnant!”
“It’s you. You killed my husband. You’re not a fairy at all. You’re a demoness!
Kill me, kill me too!”
“Son, why have you turned into an ice sculpture?”
“Father…
“Mother…”
Cries, shouts, curses, and pleadings filled the ears of the Silver Moon sect elders.
Zhang Chen noticed a change in the Golden Core anomaly in the sky.
The brilliance of the silver moon became dim, with pitted spots appearing on it, like freckles on a perfect face, particularly striking.
In contrast, the black blood surging out of the blood coffin was about to engulf the silver moon.
The elder of the Silver Moon sect had an unstable state of mind!
The state of mind was a method of cultivation in the orthodox path.
Most orthodox sect cultivators would transform their pursuits, beliefs, and ideals into a state of mind to push themselves further.
For example, helping the people, slaying demons, and gaining eternal life, etc.
Once they realized their state of mind, as long as they did the corresponding actions, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.
However, if they violated their state of mind and let it be clouded, their cultivation would be difficult to improve, and their realm could even fall.
This was one of the differences between the demonic path and the orthodox path.
The state of mind could make the orthodox sect cultivators go further and be more stable in the cultivation process.
Because the demonic path did as they pleased, they were more prone to stray and be influenced by various personal desires.
The elder of the Silver Moon Sect knew it was the opponent’s plot, but she couldn’t turn a blind eye.
She was also human. How could she not have feelings?
The most insidious thing was that these mortals were not completely zombified, some could be saved.
Saving these people would consume a lot of her mana and drag her down.
Not saving them would damage her state of mind.
Of course, not all orthodox sects had the same state of mind, and the result might be different for another person..
