Chapter 203: Corpse King



Chapter 203: Corpse King

“This is…” Zhang Yi took a deep breath. And after a few seconds, he said hesitantly, “Array?”

It wouldn’t be a problem if an Array appeared elsewhere but in this zombie cave…

One should know, zombies were corpses that have resurrected after absorbing Yin Qi and attaining spirituality, but they did not have a Soul themselves. In other words, they were monsters with no intelligence and ate people using only their brute force.

Being less intelligent than a Spirit Beast, how can such a creature lay an Array?

Unless it was an old monster that has been cultivating for thousands of years!

A gleam of haze flashed across Zhang Yi’s eyes, he extended his hand and raised the Cold Scale Sword. Ordinary zombies indeed only rely on instinct, but if it had been cultivating in Yin Qi for thousands of years, it would certainly attain wisdom.

Such monsters were not only powerful but also with intelligence comparable to that of humans.

Is a Corpse King actually hidden inside?

Although it was said that once a zombie becomes a Corpse King, its magical powers could be comparable with a Core Formation Stage cultivator, and could be quite fearful. However, Zhang Yi did not have much fear.

He was not an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, not to mention his junior sister was also with him. If the two of them join together and use a combination of techniques, it should be easy getting rid of this monster.

He just didn’t expect this small valley to hide such a monster. Not to mention his Martial Nephews, even junior brother Lu might not stand a chance.

A sharp glint flashed across his eyes, “Junior sister, stand back!”

The female cultivator took two steps back, waved her hand, and took out the Red Spirit Silk Magic Artifact.

“Break!”

Following Zhang Wing’s cry, the Cold Scale Sword hovered in the air and whistled towards the wall.

The blow from a Core Formation Stage Expert was not something trivial, it was  reasonable to say that even a fine iron wall will be easily penetrated. However, from the crevices on the wall of the mountain, countless black gas-like energy suddenly emerged, turning into a huge black python, and entangling towards the Flying Sword.

“Courting death!”

Zhang Yi shouted coldly, his hands were as swift as the wind, changing hand signs like a butterfly fluttering among the flowers, and then a blue light hit the Magic Artifact.

The Cold Scale Sword absorbed the blue light and rose through the wind. In an instant, it turned into a length of a few meters, and several chopped down with the momentum of splitting mountains.

With a stabbing sound, the strange python was sliced into two pieces, and then turned into black gas and dissipated in the air.

Naturally, the mountain wall that lost its Array couldn’t stop a Core Formation Stage Expert’s blow, and broken stone and gravel flew all over the sky, revealing the secrets behind it.

It was a circular semi-enclosed cave with an area of ​​nearly one hundred square meters and no extra things inside. One could easily see everything inside it at a glance.

The male and one female cultivator took a cold breath at the same time.

And they felt a cold chill on their backs!

In the center of the cave, there was a pool measuring one meter in width and length, and only half a meter deep. The bottom of the pool was engraved with many weird runes along with some sharp objects.

A zombie was sitting in the middle of it.

Its appearance was also very different from the monsters outside.

Although the surface of its head was also filled with inch-long hair, they were not green, but red, and each one was as hard as iron.

Its skin was not scorched, but with a touch of smoothness.

The most striking difference was that there was a rice-sized bead on its forehead that flashed with a strange light.

Sure enough, it was a Corpse King!

And as it sat in the pool, countless cultivators were also laying in all directions. There were old and young, male and female, with different styles of clothing, and there was no lack of people from any of the major sects of both paths.

What was even more bizarre was that although these cultivators were unconscious, and had a very weak life reaction, they stayed with the Corpse King. But why were they not eaten?

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Yi and Chen Yu’s faces.

As if the zombie didn’t know that his cultivation was at a critical juncture, when the Array was broken, the two intruders came into the cave, it actually just glanced at them, and then retracted its gaze.

“You detestable!”

Chen Yu was about to step forward, but was blocked by Zhang Yi, “We’re not in a hurry, let’s take a look at the situation first.”

The two stood in front of the cave entrance, while Lin Xuan manipulated Yin Ghost to hide in the side.

The Corpse King raised his sharp claws, and each nail was half a foot long, just like a blade.

However, it used its terrifying claws to create a few peculiar seals. With a low growl, a puzzling thing happened.

From the noses of those unconscious cultivators. Wisps of white gas came out, and they were all sucked in by the zombie.

“Martial Niece!”

Chen Yu saw a woman in a revealing dress, and could not help but exclaim. Zhang Yi’s expression also became even colder, this monster was actually sucking the soul energy of living people.

Although most cultivators were selfish, and slaying evil was only a lie to trick children, this monster hurt the Sect Master’s daughter, so it naturally couldn’t be ignored.

But doing it here, there were quite a few misgivings.

“Junior Sister let’s lead this monster out.”

As Zhang Yi said that, he stretched out his right palm, and it flashed with a blue light. After it separated, it turned into a blue tiger and pounced towards the zombie.

Chen Yu did not dare to neglect, and also did the same action, but her body emitted a red Spiritual Power, which turned into a burning Fire-Bird.

Their goal was the barrier around the zombie’s body.

However, contrary to Lin Xuan’s expectation, these creatures made out of Spiritual Power did not explode after hitting the Barrier. Instead, they scratched and bit it, they also used fire and water attributed attacks.

Looking at the seemingly sturdy blood-colored barrier. After only lasting for a few seconds, it flickered and faltered.

The zombie finally opened its eyes again.

As soon as it raised its sharp claws, it suddenly surged out of thin air, growing in size and turning into five or six feet long. Which then moved towards Zhang Yi’s face.

“Retreat!”

Zhang Yi didn’t direct his Magic Artifacts to attack, but instead pulled back and retreated. It seemed that he wanted to draw the other party away.
