The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 379: Old Monster

The speed of the corpse puppet's palm strike was incredibly fast.

At first glance, it seemed slow, almost leisurely, but in the blink of an eye, it was already about to land on Chu Xuan's head.

There was no time left to summon a magic treasure. He had to rely on his talismans to defend himself first.

Chu Xuan gritted his teeth. Without hesitation, he threw out three Demonic Soul Talismans and fifteen Nascent Soul-grade talismans.

The three Demonic Soul Talismans ignited fiercely, and three soul forms immediately manifested—Qiu Wanhong and the two other Nascent Soul cultivators from Crazy Dragon Valley, whose souls had been extracted by Chu Xuan earlier and sealed inside the talismans, now materialized as Demonic Souls. freewebnoveℓ.com

The fifteen Nascent Soul-grade talismans quickly transformed into various forces—flames, frost, lightning, and more. Some flew toward the corpse puppet's hand, while others formed shields to protect Chu Xuan. The three Demonic Souls of Qiu Wanhong and his companions bravely charged toward the corpse puppet's palm.

"Looks a little like something from the Demonic Dao."

The corpse puppet sneered faintly.

In the next moment, there was a series of loud explosions as the corpse puppet's palm continued its relentless strike. The three Demonic Souls of Qiu Wanhong were obliterated in less than a breath's time, annihilated into countless fragments of soul energy that vanished without a trace.

As for the fifteen Nascent Soul-grade talismans, they too were shattered into countless light spots in the blink of an eye. Yet the corpse puppet's palm did not falter. It continued its path toward Chu Xuan.

At this moment, Chu Xuan swiftly summoned his magic treasures. With just these two breaths of time, it would be enough. He patted his storage bag, and several magic treasures shot out at once.

The first was a small, jet-black mountain-shaped treasure. As soon as it appeared, it rapidly expanded. Following that were two massive frost crossbows, their bolts of cold light forming rapidly.

Next, a frost-blue bottle landed, releasing a surge of intense cold air. Two flying swords, one a dragon and the other a serpent, followed swiftly, each attacking with deadly precision. Finally, he beckoned, and a black chain shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

After performing all these actions, Chu Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, two powerful spells coalescing in his palms, ready to be released at any moment.

These magic treasures included Iron Peak Mountain, Icy Sun Crossbow, Yin Frost Bottle, Dragon and Serpent Flying Swords, and the Evil Soul Chain. Among them, the Dragon and Serpent Flying Swords had been taken from Qiu Wanhong's storage bag after his death, along with Iron Peak Mountain and the Yin Frost Bottle—all treasures of great power.

Seeing so many top-tier magic treasures appearing simultaneously, the corpse puppet's expression shifted.

"Your soul is unusual. Far more powerful than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. You can control so many magic treasures at once?"

The corpse puppet was momentarily stunned. It had only just awakened and sought a body to possess, waiting for the right moment. But it never expected the first cultivator it encountered to be so troublesome.

How long had it been asleep? Were all cultivators nowadays this powerful?

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Boom!

The corpse puppet's hand collided with the array of magic treasures. A muffled explosion immediately rang out. Iron Peak Mountain was the first to be sent flying, letting out a mournful cry.

Chu Xuan took one glance and knew immediately that the treasure was now covered in cracks and could no longer be used. The two frost crossbow bolts shot from the Frost Sun Crossbow failed to injure the corpse puppet's palm.

However, due to the cold energy from the Yin Frost Bottle, the bolts succeeded in slowing the palm's descent. The Dragon and Serpent Flying Swords slashed toward the corpse puppet's neck from either side, forcing it to raise its other hand to block. But this only lasted a moment. The Dragon and Serpent Flying Swords were immediately sliced into four pieces, losing all their previous luster.

The Evil Soul Chain shot forward, and the weapon soul appeared, roaring as it coiled around the corpse puppet like a furious black serpent. Feeling the immense power within the Evil Soul Chain, the corpse puppet's face finally showed a hint of seriousness.

"Get lost!"

The corpse puppet let out a low growl. A torrent of corpse Qi surged outward. It blasted the Evil Soul Chain away, and cracks appeared on its surface. This was Chu Xuan's fated magic treasure, and its cracks sent a jolt of pain through him. He let out a muffled grunt and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You surprise me, kid."

A voice filled with doubt echoed from the corpse puppet's mouth.

On the corpse puppet's palm, a fierce surge of corpse Qi began to rise. The foul, decaying stench immediately hit Chu Xuan's senses. Even just a whiff made his body feel as though it was being corrupted.

Chu Xuan immediately began circulating the White Jade Anti-Toxin Art. This was a technique he had developed for poison resistance, capable of neutralizing most toxins. Clearly, corpse poison was among them. But he didn't expect it to hold off much. What mattered now was getting rid of this corpse puppet and escaping with his life.

"It looks like I'll have to use this move..."

Chu Xuan slapped his storage bag, and a small dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.

The Sin Karma Saber. This was the treasure he had obtained after slaying Yun Zhongyu. Although it was only a high-grade magic treasure, it possessed an extraordinary ability: It could convert accumulated merit into the Fire of Sin Karma. The more merit it consumed, the stronger the Fire of Sin Karma became. So, despite being a high-grade magic treasure, in Chu Xuan's hands—who possessed immense merit—it was an extremely potent trump card.

"I've kept this hidden for so long, and only now have I been forced to use it."

Though Chu Xuan felt a twinge of regret, he wasted no time in reversing his merit.

Hum!

A burst of golden light surged from him, instantly transforming into the red-black karma of evil. The seemingly ordinary Sin Karma Saber was quickly ignited by the flames of Sin Karma. Despite being no larger than a palm, the saber expanded to a massive three zhang in an instant, its flames roaring fiercely as if set to burn everything to ash.

The moment merit reversed into Sin Karma, Chu Xuan felt something intangible being drawn from him. It was his merit, along with a portion of his lifespan and fortune. But at this moment, for the sake of survival, he had no choice but to part with them. Merit was precious, but life was more precious. Life only came once. Merit, however, could be accumulated again.

"Go!"

Without another thought, Chu Xuan hurled the Sin Karma Saber forward, then quickly stowed away his magic treasures and fled. At this moment, the corpse puppet's gaze shifted completely.

"So much Sin Karma?!"

It immediately withdrew its palm and dodged, but the Sin Karma Saber seemed to have a life of its own, relentlessly pursuing it. The corpse puppet cast a final glance at Chu Xuan's retreating figure before stepping into the air and darting off in another direction. Karma, even the corpse puppet did not wish to engage with it.

Meanwhile, Chu Xuan continued to consume Nascent Soul essence, performing his escape technique. He raced from Heaven-Three City to Heaven-Five City in one breath. Spotting a cave in the ground, he immediately dove in, using the Lotus Escape Technique to conceal his presence. Only then did the tension in his chest begin to ease.

"That was too close… that old monster is terrifying. I am no match for him."

Chu Xuan sighed deeply. Just then, an ominous feeling suddenly washed over him. His expression changed slightly. He quickly scanned the surroundings and, finding nothing amiss, instinctively turned his attention inward. Then, he immediately noticed something strange with Bao. It seemed as if something was trying to use the soul link between Bao and him to invade his own soul! Clearly, it was yet another move by that corpse puppet!

Without hesitation, Chu Xuan activated the spiritual sense restrictions he had placed on his soul link with Bao. He immediately shattered all the memories in Bao's mind. Then, his spiritual sense manifested as a blade, severing the soul connection between him and Bao with a single, decisive strike.
