The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 144 Transformation

"At first I thought he was courting death, but I didn't expect him to actually have some skills."

"Has the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain weakened? It's ineffective against this guy!"

"I'm a little confused. How did they do that?"

"Could he possess some magical artifact capable of resisting lightning magic?"

"Could it be that he's wearing an insulating protective suit?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Insulating lightning protection suits only block ordinary electricity. Do you think the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Longhu Mountain is ordinary lightning? If lightning magic could be perfectly countered by an insulating suit, would those demons and monsters still need to be afraid of Longhu Mountain?"

"The Five Thunder Technique of Longhu Mountain comes with built-in magic penetration, so lightning protection suits are useless."

The tourists around them seemed a bit confused.

Why is Leifa ineffective against him?

At this moment, the Taoist priest who slays ghosts laughed.

He had just exchanged a close-quarters blow with this old man in black with cherry blossoms.

At first, he was also intimidated by the old man, after all, ignoring the Five Thunderbolts was indeed intimidating.

But after exchanging a single blow in close combat, he immediately understood what was going on.

Then, the Taoist priest flipped his hand, and a yellow talisman appeared between his fingers.

After the old Taoist priest recited a mantra...

He shot out the yellow talisman in his hand, which instantly transformed into a golden light and struck the old man in black.

The Taoist priest who slays ghosts said, "You thing that's neither human nor ghost, still pretending to be a deity! Show yourself!"

He had already figured out what kind of problem the old man had, and at that moment a yellow talisman was cast on him.

This yellow talisman has no offensive effect; its only effect is to make the demon visible.

The reason why the old man in black with cherry blossoms was able to withstand his palm thunder and Five Thunder Palm was different from what the onlookers guessed.

It wasn't that he was carrying any magical artifacts to resist lightning magic.

The problem lies with him personally.

Under heaven, there is no cultivator or demon who is not afraid of heavenly lightning.

Heaven and earth would not allow such a thing to exist.

The old man was able to withstand the lightning spell; there must be something wrong with him.

The Ghost Slayer Taoist has already noticed the problem.

After the manifestation talisman was injected into the body of the old man in black.

The explicit symbol takes effect immediately.

Before everyone's eyes, the old man in black underwent a change in appearance.

His skin started to crack.

Although it was originally very thin, it was still human-shaped.

But after being hit by the revealing rune, his skin returned to its original appearance.

It had transformed from human skin into a dark green and gray covering.

Although he still maintains his human form, his skin is clearly not human.

Looking at the old man in black, his skin on his body and face had changed like this.

The onlookers were also visibly frightened, and they all stepped back, clearly having never seen such a monster before.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

"Is this even human? How did its skin turn this color?"

"Dark green skin, with scales? Even burns don't look like this."

"How disgusting! It looks like some kind of snake."

"The cherry blossoms have started to mutate recently, haven't they? Producing these deformed varieties that are neither human nor ghost?"

"What's going on?"

The old man in black, who had just been repelled by the old Taoist priest's Five Thunder Palm, never expected that Longhu Mountain would have such a talisman that could make him appear directly. At this moment, his true form was revealed.

The old man in black clearly showed a hint of panic.

He tried to cover it up, but unfortunately all his skin was this color, so it was impossible to hide.

Many people didn't know what was going on, including Master Xuanzhen of Longhu Mountain and his followers.

I have no idea what this old man with the cherry blossoms is up to.

After all, they'd previously dealt with either mountain spirits and wild beasts, or vengeful ghosts and zombies. They'd never dealt with this hybrid species before.
Is this a human or a monster?
Xuanzhen Celestial Master opened his divine eye and looked at the old man in black.

They discovered that he possessed both demonic and human qualities.

Half-human, half-demon?

Only the Ghost-Slaying Taoist Priest, with an icy expression, began to speak.

"I said back then that you bunch of cherry blossom brats deserve to die, but unfortunately my master stopped me and didn't let me kill all of you Nine Chrysanthemums."

I can't believe that decades later, you're still researching this utterly heinous stuff. Even if Heaven doesn't punish you, I will!

Then, the Ghost-Slaying Taoist Priest began to speak.

The reason why the opponent was not afraid of his palm lightning at all was not because he was not afraid, but because he had resistance.

His skin was covered in a layer of dark green and gray scales.

It is the skin of a great demon.

It probably comes from an electric eel or some kind of siren skin.

As is well known, electric eels generate their own electricity and have a certain resistance to lightning.

Therefore, it is not afraid of electricity.

The Nine Chrysanthemums faction of Sakura Goblin specializes in researching inhumane things.

To conduct some inhumane research.

What they think is innovation is actually disgusting.

This included transplantation experiments involving humans and demons.

Decades ago, during the war, the people of Jiuju conducted experiments on living people here.

The 73 Demon Research Team from back then was also engaged in research in this area.

The Nine Chrysanthemums faction is behind them.

Back when the Ghost Slayer was young, he had crossed paths with these guys.

At that time, they were still researching this kind of magic.

Back then, the Demon Slayer Daoist and several fellow Daoists destroyed one of their small research bases.

I witnessed a horrific scene inside.

Experiments were conducted on children and infants.

They would cut off the entire skin of a person or cut open their abdomen.

They transplanted the skin and internal organs of wild beasts and demons.

Their idea was that if it succeeded, it would be a new path.

After all, in some respects, the potential of demons and zombies is higher than that of humans.

For example, if humans could gain the physical defense of zombies, or the lightning resistance of the giant electric eel.

That would be scary.

This is why the Ghost Slayer Master hates these guys to the core.

He would become obsessed whenever he thought of that base.

I wish I could crush those little cherry blossom devils to pieces.

These beasts don't deserve to live in this world.

I never imagined that decades had passed.

These guys are still doing research in this area, and it seems they've actually succeeded in creating this disgusting thing.

This old man in black was clearly a successful experiment.

He transplanted the skin of a great demon onto his own body, gaining powerful resistance to lightning.

Therefore, I felt no fear when facing the old Taoist priest's palm lightning.

Even the Five Thunder Palm, a powerful attack that even a thousand-year-old ghost king wouldn't dare to directly withstand, didn't cause this guy any significant damage after he took it.

This transplantation magic is indeed quite something.

The old Taoist priest who slays ghosts can see that these guys came prepared today!
They specially bred modified demons who could resist lightning magic.

No wonder they acted so recklessly.

However, you don't really think that these things will be useful, do you?
