A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Chapter 226: Demon Nemesis, the Tide of Corpses Arrives

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan and Qin Ruoning settled down safely on this blockade line.

The overall situation of the defense line they are responsible for is relatively good. During the day when the Yang energy is at its peak, the thousands of corpse demons in the Yinshi Mountains rarely move. They are only extremely active at night, and from time to time they will cross the mountains in small groups and attack the defense line.

The monks of the War Hall have set up detection arrays everywhere outside the Yinshi Mountains, which will sound a warning once a tide of corpses attacks. Usually, when such a situation occurs, the group of monks under Lu Yuan and Qin Ruoning are responsible for fighting back. Unless they encounter a corpse king level or a large tide of corpses, they usually will not be alarmed.

After all, Jindan Zhenren are the backbone of the Immortal City. Even when they are stationed on the front line, they still need to practice. Naturally, they will not waste their energy on some small fish and shrimps.

Of course, in a dangerous area like the Yinshi Mountains, it is impossible that all the corpse demons that walked out were small fry. As time went by, only two months later, a large number of corpses broke through the mountain blockade and were discovered by the monks under Lu Yuan.

This tide of corpses was formed by hundreds of corpses of monsters of various shapes and sizes. Leading it was a pitch-black snake-shaped corpse king, nearly ten feet long. Wherever it passed, the ground shook. There was also oily green poisonous mist and corpse gas surrounding its body, which could be said to be extremely ferocious.

Judging from the concentration and power of its corpse qi, this is obviously a corpse king that has reached the intermediate level, corresponding to a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

Normally, two cultivators in the early Jindan stage can only barely deal with a corpse king of this level, and if they are not careful they may end up dying.

Therefore, after discovering this corpse, those cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages were in a panic. Qin Ruoning was also extremely solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy. Only Lu Yuan was delighted to see the prey and was extremely excited. He flew forward immediately and started a fierce battle with the snake-shaped corpse king.

Although with his current strength, he only needs one sword to completely kill the corpse king, but under the eyes of other cultivators around him, he still has to keep a low profile, pretending to be difficult to cooperate with Qin Ruoning, and start a fierce battle with the snake-shaped corpse king.

It has to be said that this snake-shaped corpse king is indeed extremely ferocious and difficult to deal with.

While the Corpse King is brutal and bloodthirsty, he has recovered some of his intelligence and instincts. He can even spontaneously inhale and exhale corpse qi and death energy to strengthen himself. In addition, the monster had an already strong physique when he was alive. The physique of this Corpse King is as strong as a third-level defensive magic weapon. Qin Ruoning's magic weapon, Canglan Seal, can only leave a dent on it when it is bombarded.

That is Lu Yuan. Although he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the sharpness of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword Ball could not be hidden, and it was still able to leave wounds on the snake corpse.

At the same time, during the fight, he even had the mood to test out the Earthly Evil Technique [Demon Slaying] that he had just activated.

[Demon Slayer]: Can use magic to bless weapons, can drive away ghosts and demons, and destroy formless monsters, specifically to defeat all evil spirits in the world.

This technique is an auxiliary spell, which is equivalent to enchanting weapons and magic tools, so that they have the ability to restrain all demons and monsters.

The ferocious snake-shaped corpse king in front of him, surrounded by poisonous mist, and even the tide of corpse demons raging throughout Yuanlingtian, were undoubtedly the most typical evil spirits, so Lu Yuan's [Demon Slaying] produced amazing results on the spot.

In the same sword attack, the sword ball with the magic of beheading demons significantly increased its power and damage, even reaching more than 50%!
And this is the effect when Lu Yuan just lit up [Demon Slaying] and has not yet upgraded it to a magical power. If this technique is transformed into a magical power, the power of the flying swords and sword balls against these corpse demons will probably increase several times!
Moreover, generally speaking, the blood of all corpse demons is extremely corrosive, especially that of high-level corpse demons. If a cultivator's magic weapon comes into contact with it too much, it is very likely to cause the spiritual pollution of the magic weapon and a sharp drop in quality and power.

However, with Lu Yuan's blessing of the [Demon Slaying] technique, the sword pill was spotless. Even the blood and poison of a mid-level corpse king like the snake-shaped corpse king could not contaminate it at all.

So, after the performance was almost over, Lu Yuan, who had gone through a "hard battle", finally cut off the snake's head with a single sword, and received surprised cheers from his other monks.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan took the initiative to assist these subordinates in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages to kill hundreds of corpse demons, thereby gaining a full eleven strands of Heavenly Merit!

Eleven strands of Heavenly Dao merit, when converted, are equivalent to one thousand one hundred ke of luck power being credited to the account, and it comes so easily and quickly.

Lu Yuan was in a good mood, and the monks under him surrounded him with gratitude and flattered him.

After all, those below the Jindan stage are all ants. Even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage often face deadly threats on this front line and do not have much sense of security.

At this time, if the Jindan Zhenren leading the team is powerful and willing to help, it will undoubtedly be what all cultivators want.

Naturally, Lu Yuan didn't care about these people's flattery and compliments. He just ordered them to collect all the heads of the corpse demons and notify the war elders in the main camp who were responsible for recording the military merits to count and record them.

No matter it was voluntary or forced, for any cultivator who went to the front line, the head of a corpse demon he had killed was the only evidence of his own merit, and even a Jindan Zhenren was no exception.

The war elder who came to count and record the military achievements was named Zhou Chuhai. Although he was only at the false elixir level and was very old, he had been a close attendant of True Lord Huanglong during his foundation-building and elixir-forming periods, and was highly trusted. That's why he was assigned to be responsible for such an important matter as recording achievements. Even the elders of the war hall did not dare to offend him.

After receiving the news and coming to the camp with his disciples, Zhou Chuhai was a little surprised after verifying that Lu Yuan and Qin Ruoning had actually killed a mid-level corpse king, but he didn't say anything. He immediately left proof and records with the photo stone, then put all the corpse demon heads away in the storage bag and left.

With one mid-level corpse king and hundreds of corpse demons, the two of them can be counted as having achieved a B-level middle-level achievement, and the cultivators under them can also be counted as having achieved a C-level middle-level achievement after being downgraded. Although Lu Yuan doesn't care about this achievement at all, it does not prevent the morale of those foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators from being greatly boosted, and they are sincerely convinced by Lu Yuan and Qin Ruoning.

And so it went on for the rest of the day.

After Lu Yuan returned, he immediately expended 14,000 ke of luck and directly upgraded [Demon Slaying] to the level of magical power.

After subsequent experiments, he used this magical power to bless the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword Pill, and the lethality of the sword pill against corpse demons increased several times. In the past, it took three-tenths of strength to kill the corpse demon, but with this magical power, it can be killed without even half a point of strength!

Lu Yuan was naturally delighted by such an astonishing increase. He wished he could rush into the Yinshi Mountains and kill everyone in sight. He even hoped to encounter a possible fourth-order celestial corpse in it to test its quality.

The fourth-rank celestial corpse corresponds to a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. An ordinary Jindan cultivator or even a perfect cultivator would be in trouble if they encountered it. However, for Lu Yuan, who is about to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation and possesses many other magical powers such as [Demon Slaying], he will definitely restrain it and killing it may not be a difficult task.

However, Lu Yuan was not that reckless. He kept a low profile under the eyes of the three chief and deputy chiefs of the war hall and did not take any action. In this way, he practiced leisurely on this line of defense while guarding. Even though the spiritual environment here was much worse than that in the fairy city, it did not affect him much. Every time he took nine breaths, he could directly draw a huge amount of Yuanqi from the void, which made his cultivation improve visibly every day.

This day half a year later.

In the crude cave dwelling set up with an isolation formation, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, his magical energy surging, and his whole body emitting a sound like a surging sea tide.

Looking inside, it can be seen that the elixir condensed from refining Qi and transforming spirit into spirit in his dantian was only the size of a soybean at first, but now it has become the size of a human fist. The vital energy contained in it is as huge as the ocean, which is incredible.

The elixir fetus in his belly is now glowing with a brilliant light, round and agile, which means that he has almost reached perfection in this realm of cultivation. When the elixir fetus takes shape and turns into a divine fetus, it means that he has officially entered the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and can be compared with the great Nascent Soul cultivators.

And that day is very close to him.

Just now.

Buzz.
A vibration and buzzing sound came from the waist, and Lu Yuan, who had just completed the Nine Breaths of Subduing Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.

He reached out and took out the vibration source from his waist, and saw that the warning talisman that the War Hall elders had given to him and Qin Ruoning was emitting a rapid red light. After the magic power was activated, the low and solemn voice of the War Hall Master Xing Tianding was heard immediately:
"A large zombie tide has appeared. All the soldiers on other defense lines, leave half of them here, and the rest immediately come to the third section of the east defense line for support!"

Lu Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately walked out of the cave. Just then, he saw Qin Ruoning flying out of his cave not far away. His urgent voice spread throughout the camp:

"There is a large zombie tide on the third line of defense. Except for Team One and Team Two, everyone else should follow us and provide support immediately!"

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the setting sun was as red as blood. As Qin Ruoning's voice was heard, the originally peaceful camp was suddenly in turmoil. The monks who were either patrolling or meditating suddenly became agitated, and then quickly gathered together, each of them with a tense look on their faces, as if facing a great enemy.

A large-scale corpse tide means that there are tens of thousands of corpse demons attacking the defense line, and there are quite a few of them at the corpse king level. Once it happens, it will be a life-and-death test for any cultivator.

However, there was no time to boost morale at this moment. Lu Yuan immediately reunited with Qin Ruoning and led dozens of cultivators to fly towards the eastern defense line.

The defense line set up by Longshan Fairy City here is hundreds of miles long. The third section of the eastern defense line is about a hundred miles away from their camp. The two of them reached their destination in a short while after running at full speed, and then took a deep breath.

Under the dark sky, black fog was rolling, roars were shaking the sky, hundreds of monks were scattered in the void, and under the spells, countless ice, flames, wind, rain, thunder and lightning were sweeping in all directions.

And through the light of magic power, one can see that a layer of black waves has rolled up outside the Yinshi Mountains, and is rushing towards the stationed monks at a rapid speed.

The waves were obviously not real waves, but were composed of countless corpses entangled together, some human and some beast, densely packed and countless. There were even black masses of flying corpses in the sky, like dark clouds passing by, covering the sky and the sun!
The tide of corpses stretched for miles, like a den of ghosts and demons emerging from a flood. The situation was just like the gates of the underworld had opened, releasing countless evil ghosts, and one glance at it made one's hair stand on end!

The world has become a den of ghosts, with countless corpse demons howling and screaming, spewing out pieces of corpse gas and poison gas, which are sweeping towards the defense line of the monks in the Immortal City like a storm. At the front of the defense line, three figures with magnificent aura and magical power stand proudly.

"What a beast."

"Today is a good time to kill!"

The leader was none other than the war hall master Xing Tianding. This late Jindan cultivator took a deep breath first, and then shouted like a thunderbolt. With this shout, he made a hand gesture, and a huge sword energy several dozen feet long emptied out, with flashes of lightning and roars like thunder, as if a god had sent down a thunderbolt.

The sword light that was as violent as thunder was clearly visible even dozens of miles away. His sword energy swept across the sky and earth with a wail. The large number of flying corpses in the sky were the first to be hit, and were swept away like leeks. Then, they were instantly torn into pieces in the countless explosions of lightning, and turned into countless charred corpse fragments that scattered everywhere.

With the sword energy crisscrossing, after only a few rounds, a large number of densely packed zombies attacking from the front were cleared out. This elder of the war hall surprisingly blocked the tide of zombies in the entire sky with his own strength!
"Hahaha, Hall Master Xing's Divine Thunder Sword is becoming more and more powerful. As expected, the Thunder Method is the best method to deal with these corpse ghosts."

"Although we are not good at thunder magic, we will not let you take the lead!"

At this moment, the two deputy hall masters behind Xing Tianding also laughed loudly. With a hand gesture, a red light bloomed in their hands and soon turned into a huge fire dragon, roaring in the sky.

Wherever the fire dragon went, heat waves rolled and the air boiled. It slammed into the huge tide of corpses on the ground, instantly causing a raging sea of ​​fire that enveloped countless corpses and demons, turning them into charred corpses.

The other one threw out a white feather fan in his hand, and with a heavy fan, a strong wind blew in the void. Countless wind dragons roared and swept across the sky. In an instant, sand and stones flew between heaven and earth, and the sound of wind and clouds whistled continuously, which blew away all the corpse gas and poisonous gas spewed out by thousands of corpse demons.

The Yinshi Mountain Range has six defense lines. There are naturally more than just these three hall masters and deputy hall masters. In the slightly farther directions, there are also five Jindan masters from Longshan Immortal City who have bravely taken action to resist the tide of corpses.
In addition, there were hundreds or even thousands of low-level monks shouting and cheering, while casting various spells and using magic weapons, creating an extremely magnificent scene.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, let's go too!"

With all the colorful lights flashing and the power surging, Lu Yuan couldn't just watch and admire it, so he immediately flew to the front line with Qin Ruoning, ready to take action.

But right now.

Roar.
On the ground, amidst the rolling tide of corpses that was several stories high, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble and the earth to roar. The suffocating deathly aura and sense of oppression swept across the sky like a tsunami, as if some terrifying monster had awakened! (End of this chapter)
