Chapter 439: Fourth-order zombie! [Subscribe]

Half of the ability of "Corpse Demon General" Jiang Zhong lies in his own practice of "Earth Zombie Mysterious Art", and the other half lies in the corpse refining army he created and commanded.

The black gourd in his hand is a rare treasure of the Corpse Demon Cult, named [Xuanyin Corpse Gourd]. This treasure has its own space inside, and is filled with rich evil energy, which can accommodate hundreds or thousands of refined corpses.

Therefore, with the help of the Corpse Demon Cult, Jiang Zhong had already raised hundreds of iron-armored demon corpses in this [Xuanyin Corpse Gourd].

When the war starts, he only needs to release these iron-armored corpses. With the natural ability to control a group of corpses given by "The Mysterious Art of Earth Zombies", he can command these iron-armored corpses to form a battle formation to fight the enemy.

At this time, seeing that Zhou Chun suddenly turned from a prey into a hunter and displayed a powerful fighting ability far beyond expectations, Jiang Zhong naturally would not hide it anymore.

He released hundreds of iron-armored demon corpses in one breath, forming a corpse battle formation, connecting the evil spirits of the corpses into one and infusing them into himself.

After being infused with the power of hundreds of second-level iron-armored demon corpses, Jiang Zhong's cultivation aura suddenly soared to a level comparable to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator!

As the saying goes, one can defeat ten skills with one strength!

When Jiang Zhong possessed magical powers comparable to those of a Jindan-stage cultivator, even the third-level lightning power that restrained him would no longer pose a major threat to him.

He just raised his arm and swung it, and the thick corpse evil aura formed into a several-meter-long corpse evil tiger that pounced towards Zhou Chun.

Immediately he opened his mouth and a stream of gray-white corpse flame spewed out, directly landing on himself and burning fiercely, as if he was putting on a piece of flaming armor.

However, he did not try to attack Lei Jiao Baibai who knew the art of thunder escape. Instead, he waved his claws and summoned three long black spike magic weapons, attacking Zhou Chun with all his strength.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he let Lei Jiao Baibai fly up to the sky to spread clouds and mines, preparing to use the magical power of "Heavenly Thunder Attraction".

He himself relied on the two superior protective magic weapons, the [Black Water Black Turtle Shield] and the [Xuan Gang Pearl], to fight with Jiang Zhong and buy time for Lei Jiaobai.

At the same time, in order to prevent the two third-level top-grade demon corpses from breaking through the siege of the "Corpse Moth" and attacking him, Zhou Chun also released six "Sky Frost Cold Bees" to let them breathe out cold air to "cool down" the two demon corpses that were covered in corpse flames.

After using all these methods, even with Jiang Zhong's suddenly increased magical power, it was difficult to hurt him quickly.

This result surprised Jiang Zhong, but it also made him more determined to kill Zhou Chun.

There was a flash of scarlet in his eyes, and suddenly he made hand seals with his hands. His body flashed, and he suddenly appeared behind Zhou Chun.

Then, black light surged on his hands, and his claws with sharp claws hit the black light shield formed by the [Xuan Gang Pearl].

Although the defense of the [Xuan Gang Zhu] has never disappointed Zhou Chun, but Jiang Zhong's powerful magic power is now close to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator. Combined with his own powerful physical strength that is comparable to that of a third-grade upper-quality zombie, the combined attack power is close to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator.

Therefore, when he hit the black light shield with all his strength, the light shield instantly broke into a large number of cracks, and then exploded with a "bang"!
However, Zhou Chun's reaction was also extremely quick.

At the moment the black light shield exploded, silver-white lightning flashed on his claws. He turned around and slapped Jiang Zhong's exhausted arms hard.

Although Jiang Zhong was not really hurt by this blow, the burning sensation from the lightning still made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his body was also pushed back dozens of feet by the huge force transmitted from Zhou Chun's claws.

At this time, Zhou Chun raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, taking out the "Golden Light Bowl" talisman.

When the talisman turned into a golden bowl and covered Zhou Chun upside down, Jiang Zhong's attack had already arrived again.

However, a talisman is still a talisman after all. Although the light of the golden bowl quickly dimmed under Jiang Zhong's attack, it still protected Zhou Chun firmly and did not break.

After Zhou Chun got a chance to catch his breath, he fought back without showing any weakness and directly summoned the scarlet beheading knife that Lin Hongyu had rewarded him with.

This magic weapon called [Red Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword] is more suitable for use in close combat.

At this moment, Zhou Chun held the 17-foot-long beheading knife in both hands and launched a counterattack towards Jiang Zhong.

The beheading knife in his hand could either chop or sweep, and every time he swung it, a red-gold sword energy would burst out and attack Jiang Zhong.

Although these sword energies could not really hurt Jiang Zhong, Zhou Chun's momentum was exerted, making him dare not underestimate him anymore.

After such a fierce battle, Zhou Chun was ultimately inferior in strength, and soon his "Golden Bowl" talisman was destroyed by Jiang Zhong!
But Zhou Chun's goal had already been achieved at this time.

Because of his delay, Baibai, the thunder dragon that was flying in the clouds and mines in the sky, had already completed the guidance and accumulation of power of "Heavenly Thunder Attraction".

Boom!

Along with the roar of thunder, silver lightning fell from the sky, but the target was not Jiang Zhong, but the armored demon corpses that formed a battle formation.

After these iron-armored demon corpses formed a battle formation, their qi connected into one. If one attacked one of them alone, it would be equivalent to attacking all the demon corpses.

Zhou Chun had tried to attack these armored corpses before, but his attacks were either blocked by Jiang Zhong or offset by the battle formation.

But things are different now.

Heavenly thunder can restrain evil spirits like Yin Gui Lian Shi, not to mention that dozens or even hundreds of heavenly thunders are falling in batches at this moment.

Those iron-armored demon corpses were bombarded by the thunder, and many of them were instantly turned into charcoal on the spot, completely reduced to ashes!

In just over a dozen breaths, more than twenty iron-armored demon corpses were annihilated on the spot.

Even a person like Jiang Zhong would feel heartbroken upon seeing such a loss.

It should be noted that these iron-armored demon corpses are not easy to refine. If an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage has one in hand, he will have a great advantage in the battle with cultivators of the same level.

Even if Jiang Zhong wanted to refine such an iron-armored demon corpse, it would take a lot of materials and time.

What’s more crucial is that, along with the annihilation of more than twenty iron-armored demon corpses, the power of the battle formation formed by the refined corpses also weakened significantly, causing the mana aura on his body to fall out of the range of a Jindan-stage cultivator!
Furthermore, the thunder in the sky is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping!

In this situation, Jiang Zhong was shocked and angry, but he was also forced to use his most powerful trick.

There was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the "Xuanyin Corpse Gourd" on his body, and a black light flew out of the gourd.

It was actually a black jade coffin!
With Zhou Chun's current eyesight and knowledge, he recognized at a glance that the material of the black jade coffin was "Xuan Yin Jade", an extremely rare yin-attributed spiritual material.

What kind of refined corpse would be sealed and contained in a jade coffin made of "Xuan Yin Jade"?

When Zhou Chun thought of this, his heart tightened and he instantly had a terrible guess!

Fourth level corpse refining!

Only a fourth-level refined corpse comparable to a Jindan-stage cultivator is qualified to be sealed and contained by Jiang Zhong in the Xuanyin Jade Coffin.

Under normal circumstances, even if a cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage obtained a fourth-level refined corpse, he would not be able to sacrifice and control the fourth-level refined corpse.

Because the vicious will contained in the fourth-level refined corpse cannot be suppressed by a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator at all. Forcibly controlling it will only cause backlash, or even the refined corpse may kill it!

However, Jiang Zhong is not an ordinary late Purple Mansion cultivator, he is one of the "Seven Yuanmo Devils" and a leading figure among the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Corpse Demon Sect. Not only does he have extraordinary talent and will, he has also successfully practiced the "Earth Zombie Mysterious Art", a technique that is very suitable for controlling and refining corpses, and has been highly valued by the top leaders of the Corpse Demon Sect.

It would not be particularly surprising if he said that he had some secret method that allowed him to temporarily control a fourth-level refined corpse with his late Purple Mansion cultivation.

"Baibai, stop him!"

Zhou Chun was extremely anxious and gave orders to Lei Jiaobai.

Bai Bai naturally understood what he meant. After hearing that, he immediately took advantage of the thunder that kept falling from the sky and suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a silver thunder ball towards Jiang Zhong himself.

In mid-air, Jiang Zhong seemed to sense something as well. His face changed drastically and he hurriedly spit out a pitch-black round bead, instantly releasing a rich and pure corpse evil energy that turned into a black shield to protect himself inside.

He was obviously very confident in this black shield, and he breathed a sigh of relief after the shield was formed first.

But he soon realized how ridiculous his confidence was!
Rumble!
As the silver thunder ball fell on Jiang Zhong, silver lightning instantly flashed across the sky, making an earth-shaking roar and explosion.

Jiang Zhong, who was at the center of the explosion, absorbed the entire power of this [Tiangang Divine Thunder]!

Because of this powerful blow, even the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe and the old man in gray couldn't help but divert their attention to Jiang Zhong. While they were trembling with fear at the powerful force of this shocking blow, they were also secretly praying for Jiang Zhong.

Although the demonic monks are extremely selfish, they are now tied to the same rope. If Jiang Zhong dies, the two of them have no confidence that they can escape.

Soon, the raging lightning gradually dissipated, and a black light rushed out from it.

call!
Seeing the black light rushing out, the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe and the old man in gray couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But before they could completely relax, they were both shocked by Jiang Zhong's miserable condition and could not help but gasp.

At this moment, Jiang Zhong's armor had been shattered and disappeared. The indestructible zombie body inside the armor was covered with pits and scars, and even his face was the same, looking much uglier than a toad.

Of course, for Jiang Zhong who chose to practice "Earth Zombie Mysterious Art", beauty and ugliness have long been out of his mind.

Outsiders would not be so superficial as to define him based on this.

However, at this moment, not only did he look miserable and ugly, his aura was also much weaker and weaker, completely different from his previous state!
Obviously, although he survived the shocking attack just now, he was also seriously injured and damaged to the root.

This severe injury may directly affect his future Dan formation and completely cut off his path to advancement!

This shows how he feels at the moment.

But after he rushed out of the lightning-ravaged area, he looked at Zhou Chun with bloodshot eyes and shouted, "Damn bastard, do you know what a stupid thing you did? I will refine you and all the cultivators in your family into zombies and make you suffer from endless suffering for the rest of your lives!"

Before the roar ended, a black round bead full of cracks flew out of his mouth and shot behind him. Immediately, a figure flashed in the area of ​​lightning behind him, and a Taoist in a purple-black robe flew out and swallowed the black round bead in one gulp.

Just as the Taoist opened his mouth to swallow the black bead, the sharp canine teeth in his mouth quickly revealed his true identity.

This Taoist looks no different from an ordinary cultivator, except that his face is slightly pale. His true identity is a refined corpse!
It is indeed a fourth-level corpse refinement!
Zhou Chun looked at the Taoist priest with a serious expression, and his heart sank.

The strength of a fourth-level corpse refiner is equivalent to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator, and even the Corpse Demon Sect does not have many of them.

Moreover, he had seen other fourth-level refined corpses before, and those refined corpses were not as good as this Taoist in terms of appearance or temperament.

If it weren't for the corpse odor emanating from his body, the fangs revealed when he opened his mouth just now, and the pair of scarlet eyes, the Taoist would look more like a master of Taoism.

"I am Jiang Zhong, an unworthy disciple of the younger generation. I beg the master to lend a helping hand to my disciple!"

Just as Zhou Chun was thinking about how to deal with this fourth-level refined corpse, Jiang Zhong suddenly made a seal with his hands, and an aura similar to that of the refined corpse emanated from his body. He whispered words that shocked him.

In an instant, Zhou Chun understood why this Taoist looked so different from an ordinary corpse refiner.

It turned out that after Jiang Zhong became one of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo" and earned the nickname "General Corpse Demon", his personal information was also collected and published by the Tianling Legion, which naturally included the martial arts he practiced.

The "Earth Zombie Mysterious Art" that Jiang Zhong practiced is a unique top-level skill of the Corpse Demon Sect, which is said to be inherited from the ancient Corpse Demon Sect.

As the cultivation of the practitioners of this technique becomes more and more profound, their bodies become more and more similar to zombies. Even after reaching the Golden Core Stage, in addition to their own Golden Core, they will also condense a "corpse bead" that is only condensed by fourth-order zombies.

When a Jindan-stage cultivator who practices "The Mysterious Art of Earth Zombies" dies, his Jindan will dissipate, but the "corpse bead" in his body will remain and directly absorb the power emitted by the Jindan, becoming his only source of power.

At this time, a fourth-level psychic zombie was born!

Generally speaking, because this kind of fourth-level psychic zombie is extremely rare and is the incarnation of the flesh and blood of the sect's senior monks, the masters of the Corpse Demon Sect will not confuse them with ordinary refined corpses and drive them to fight at will.

Instead, they will seal it in the corpse-raising place within the sect, allowing it to absorb the negative energy of the earth veins and continue to grow, waiting to be used at the critical moment.

After Jiang Zhong became one of the "Seven Demons of Yuanmo", he became the leading figure below the Jindan stage in the Corpse Demon Sect. He not only represented the face of the Corpse Demon Sect, but also the face of the Yuanmo Legion.

For his personal safety, it seemed reasonable that the Corpse Demon Church took out a fourth-level psychic zombie to protect him.

Because both parties practiced the same techniques and had similar auras, and with the help of the Corpse Demon Cult's secret method of communication and coordination, even if Jiang Zhong could not freely control this fourth-order psychic zombie, he could ensure that he would not become its target of attack.

At this time, as Jiang Zhong finished his words, the reaction of the fourth-level psychic zombie undoubtedly quickly confirmed this point.

But suddenly, a powerful and frightening aura burst out from his body, and the monstrous corpse gas burst out from his body, forming a gray-black armor covering his body.

Then he was seen moving and disappearing from the spot in an instant.

When it appeared again, it was already behind the old man in gray.

"Ah, no……"

The old man in gray only had time to let out a scream before he was grabbed by the fourth-level psychic zombie, who then bit his neck and sucked all his energy away.

A cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion turned into a lifeless dried corpse in just a few breaths!

This scene not only shocked Zhou Chun, but also frightened the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe.

He looked at Jiang Zhong with a look of shock and anger and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, what are you doing? Why did you want to kill Fellow Daoist Song?"

However, facing his questioning, Jiang Zhong seemed to be deaf and as if he had not heard it.

On the contrary, the fourth-level zombie seemed to be angered by the words of the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe. Its scarlet eyes immediately looked at him, and it threw the mummy in its hand to the ground.

not good!

As his eyes met those of the fourth-order zombie, the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

Then he became ruthless and immediately made hand gestures, intending to use the blood escape technique to escape from this place.

This blood escape technique is originally the most proficient way of escaping for the Blood Bone Sect's monks. Every Purple Mansion Stage monk of the Blood Bone Sect has mastered it very well, and it only takes two or three breaths of effort to perform it.

But just as the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe was about to use this escape technique, he suddenly heard a roar in his mind.

This roar was filled with murderous aura. As soon as it sounded in his mind, it instantly made his soul tremble, and the movements of his hands to cast spells slowed down.

Even though his spirit was not weak and he recovered quickly, it was still too late!

But a figure flashed and a fourth-level zombie appeared beside him.

Then, with its sharp claws waving, the blood-protecting body of the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was pierced through as easily as paper, along with his chest!
What followed was a repetition of the previous scene. In less than ten breaths, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe who was in the late Purple Mansion stage of cultivation followed the fate of the old man in grey and was directly sucked dry and turned into a mummy!
But at this moment, Zhou Chun had already reacted and made a move!
As soon as he made some hand gestures, the strongest defensive power "Shadow of the Black Turtle" attached to the Black Water Black Turtle Shield was activated by him.

At the same time, his figure flew quickly towards the golden-armored mountain turtle stone.

At this moment, Lei Jiao Baibai once again used the [Tiangang Divine Thunder] to attack Jiang Zhong!

Rumble!
As the second earth-shaking explosion sounded, the fourth-order zombie that was sucking the blood-robed middle-aged man was also alarmed, and could not help but look at the silver sea of ​​thunder with fear in his eyes.

In fact, the reason why it attacked and killed the two Purple Mansion monks of the Demonic Path first was because it had consumed a lot of its strength in resisting the bombardment of the [Tiangang Divine Thunder] before, and now it instinctively wanted to absorb the essence of the monks to restore its strength.

Compared to Zhou Chun, the two demon monks who practiced magic skills were obviously more to its taste!

It is precisely because it has suffered losses from this kind of silver lightning before that it is afraid of the power of this kind of thunder.

But then it seemed to sense something, and suddenly it roared and turned into a black shadow and rushed straight into the sea of ​​thunder.

After a while, Jiang Zhong, who was covered with wounds and barely alive, was grabbed by the fourth-level zombie and rushed out.

The fourth-level zombie was holding Jiang Zhong, and suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a ball of dark corpse evil energy that fell on him.

This corpse evil energy is extremely poisonous to orthodox cultivators and most demon cultivators, but now on Jiang Zhong's body it is like an elixir with the power to bring the dead back to life.

In just a moment, his injuries recovered a lot and he was out of the life-and-death crisis.

On the other hand, the fourth-level zombie's aura was slightly weakened, as if the evil aura from the corpse had also damaged its own cultivation.

Then it threw Jiang Zhong in its hand to the ground, and the ground suddenly cracked open a deep crack that swallowed Jiang Zhong, and then quickly closed up.

After doing all this, the fourth-level zombie looked at Zhou Chun with a pair of scarlet eyes.

But before it could attack Zhou Chun, several silver lightning bolts struck its head.

Unfortunately, although these silver lightnings are powerful, they are not as pure as the [Tiangang Divine Thunder].

The evil spirit of the fourth-level zombie burst out, easily offsetting the attacks of the silver lightning.

Then it moved and instantly flew to Zhou Chun's side.

However, Zhou Chun was well prepared. The powerful defense of "Shadow of the Black Turtle" quickly blocked the attack of the fourth-level zombie's claws, and the silver lightning attracted by the Thunder Dragon also bombarded the fourth-level zombie.

In this way, he failed to kill Zhou Chun with one strike, but was struck by lightning several times. The fourth-level zombie seemed to be angry.

After it roared angrily, it opened its mouth and spit out a ball of blue-gray corpse flame that flew towards Zhou Chun.

The blue-gray corpse flame fell on the "Shadow of the Black Turtle", and immediately caused the shadow of the Black Turtle to fade rapidly, and even some cracks appeared on the shield.

This scene horrified Zhou Chun, and he quickly activated the Fire Dragon Token, trying to fight fire with fire and use the Red Fire Dragon to refine the corpse flame.

However, the corpse flame is cultivated by the fourth-level zombie using its own corpse evil spirit. It is closely related to itself and is constantly nourished by the power of the zombie.

After all, the flame ignited by the Fire Dragon Token is just a wisp of demonic fire on the body of a fourth-order red fire dragon. Its power and durability are far from comparable to the corpse flame.

In the end, the Red Fire Dragon was directly destroyed by the corpse flames, causing the Fire Dragon Token, a magical weapon, to shatter and become scrapped on the spot!
Fortunately, Lei Jiao Baibai saw the predicament of his master at this moment, and hurriedly urged the thunder to fall on the corpse flame, which slightly suppressed the power of the corpse flame.

However, corpse flame is only a magical power of the fourth-level zombie. Its powerful zombie body is its greatest killer move!
As it slapped the tortoise shadow with another claw, the [Black Water Turtle Shield] that had reached its limit exploded in an instant!
Fortunately, Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, successfully rescued his master at this critical moment. He first used the "Golden Magnetic Rays" to interfere with and restrain the subsequent attacks of the fourth-order zombies, and then used his protective magic to protect Zhou Chun from a distance, and pulled Zhou Chun back to his back.

When the fourth-level zombie used its powerful magic power to shatter the "Golden Magnetic Light" and chased after it, the thunder from the sky descended on it again.

Affected by this, it slapped its claw on the shield created by the stone of the golden-armored mountain turtle, but it only caused cracks on the shield and failed to break the shield with one blow.

As yellow light surged on the shield, the cracks quickly healed as if they had never appeared!
In this way, relying on the cooperation of the two spirit pets, Zhou Chun was able to withstand several rounds of attacks from the fourth-level zombies.

But he knew in his heart that the stone's defense could hold out for a while, but it was impossible for it to last forever.

Whether he can achieve his goal today depends on whether reinforcements can arrive in time.

As if Zhou Chun had called them, a fiery red light soon appeared from the direction of Jiufeng Ridge in the sky, revealing the heroic figure of a female cultivator in the Jindan stage.

The person who came was Lin Hongyu, the Jindan-stage supreme elder worshipped by the Zhou family!
