Chapter 109: After modification: Chapter 108 I am looking forward to it (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

"This defense power was truly formidable."

*Bai Ziyue thought to himself, extending his hand in a slight gesture to summon the Golden Thread Saber, swiftly drawing out several talismans afterward.*

Without any hesitation, he directly activated the talismans.

Bright gray rays shot straight onto the zombie’s body.

Soul-Suppressing Talisman!

The Iron Corpse trembled all over, as if impacted, but quickly regained composure, its speed hardly slowing down.

*However, Bai Ziyue drew the Soul-Suppressing Talisman as a casual move, not holding much hope for its power.*

Supporting with one hand, an orange flame instantly took shape.

Magic, Spirit Fire Technique!

Whew~!

The flame shot out like a cannonball, tracing a beautiful arc through the void.

Boom!

The charging zombie’s body trembled as Yin Qi surged within, trying to extinguish the flames.

But Bai Ziyue’s Spirit Fire Technique seemed to burn everything, and the invasion of Yin Qi only fueled the flames, instantly engulfing the Iron Corpse entirely.

"Roar!"

The zombie roared wildly, beating the flames on its body, producing dull thuds, yet it failed to extinguish them. Angrily, it disregarded everything and charged at Bai Ziyue again.

The thick hairs of the Iron Corpse and its incredibly resilient skin were difficult for even Bai Ziyue’s perfected Spirit Fire Technique to penetrate instantly and inflict fundamental damage.

*"This corpse refinement was excessively strong," Bai Ziyue sighed inwardly, stepping back while conjuring another flame with a slight wave.*

Instantly, another flame burst forth.

Simultaneously, the summoned Golden Thread Saber vibrated softly, transforming into a golden ray rushing forward.

This time, the target of the Golden Thread Saber was the Iron Corpse’s eyes.

The Iron Corpse, with a body hard as steel, still had vulnerabilities like its eyes.

Ding!

Sensing the threat of this strike, driven by combat instincts, the Corpse Refiner raised both hands to shield its eyes directly.

Bai Ziyue’s strike deeply embedded into its hand’s back but caused no harm to its eyes.

However, this strike caused the flames, just extinguishing due to spiritual power depletion, to burst again on its body.

*"This corpse refinement was even more difficult than the Locust Tree Spirit Body back then," Bai Ziyue thought, as another flame appeared in his hand.*

Boom!

Spirit Fire landed again on the Corpse Refiner’s body.

At this moment, the endless burning force finally broke through its thick hairs and skin hardened by External Forging and Internal Cultivation, plus the invasion of Yin Qi.

The zombie roared wildly, stomping the ground, producing booming sounds, swiftly closing in on Bai Ziyue.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Bai Ziyue drew the Golden Thread Saber as if guided by a thin line, making it flash like lightning, directly striking the zombie’s foot.

With a thud, the ground shook.

The entire Iron Corpse fell onto the ground.

Then, Bai Ziyue’s figure flickered, appearing again at the Iron Corpse’s side with the war saber, brimming with power. Dense waves of air vibrated on the blade.

"Die!"

A slash, layers of power surged, creating piercing shrieks in the air!

Slash Blade Technique!

Pfft!

After a slight pause, the saber light deeply slashed into the Iron Corpse’s neck.

However, this strike still couldn’t sever its neck entirely, embedding deeply within, even Bai Ziyue couldn’t pull it out immediately.

"Roar!"

The zombie roared, hammering the ground fiercely, generating an enormous force. Then, with a leap, it suddenly slapped both hands, knocking Bai Ziyue’s war saber from its neck.

*Feeling the immense force rushing from the saber, Bai Ziyue’s face changed slightly, and he flickered away from the place.*

Without thinking, he instantly conjured a Daoist skill.

Spirit Light Shield!

In an instant, the Daoist skill was formed. Meanwhile, the zombie pounced again, its iron-hard arms capable of penetrating Vajra, fiercely striking the spirit light shield.

The shield trembled with intense ripples, yet finally withstood the strike.

"Again!"

Bai Ziyue inwardly panicked. Taking advantage of the moment the spirit light shield blocked the zombie, he swiftly raised his war saber once more, then quickly swung it horizontally.

Thud!

The zombie, whose neck had already been more than half severed, finally had its head completely chopped off. It flew into the air and rolled away into the distance.

The zombie, originally fierce and immensely strong, suddenly halted and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

Sweat beaded on Bai Ziyue’s face and body, and when the cold wind blew against it, he felt an icy chill to his core.

"This time, I was careless."

Bai Ziyue lamented, a trace of lingering fear on his face, *"This corpse refiner, perhaps in life, was not just about External Forging and Internal Cultivation. It’s very likely they had cultivated Inner Qi as a martial artist."*

*His spirit fire technique had incredible burning power; it could melt iron into slag. Yet, it took three whole sequences to burn through its surface defenses, without posing a lethal threat.*

*And his strength, now extremely formidable, matched that of a genuine Inner Cultivation Martial Artist without the slightest discrepancy. Coupled with his Slash Blade Technique reaching perfection, which could snap a vajra in two, he still needed two strikes to chop off the zombie’s head.*

*This unparalleled defensive resilience... even if it were among the stronger iron corpses in the realm of corpse refinement, it’s inexplicable.*

*The only possibility is that in life, it was an exceptionally powerful martial artist, likely cultivated Inner Strength, and after death, someone refined it using corpse refinement techniques and rare materials, coupled with the invasion of Yin Qi to form such a creature.*

"Soul Energy increased by 1250 points. As expected, the strength of this zombie was even more formidable than I had imagined.

By my estimation, the Soul Energy Points are not inferior to those of a late-stage martial artist in Inner Cultivation, just a hair’s breadth away from the Peak of Inner Cultivation.

Considering its extraordinary defensive capabilities, I estimate even a martial artist at the Peak of Inner Cultivation would find it a headache."

Looking at the amount of Soul Energy, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

*If it were only using the martial artist’s methods, he would definitely not be a match for this zombie. If only using the Immortal Cultivation Method, he too would have been caught and tormented by the zombie... Only by employing both Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation methods did he genuinely manage to slay it. This arduous battle, he had only experienced such difficulty when facing the Locust Tree Spirit.*

Bai Ziyue took a deep breath and finally came back to himself. He quickly cast another two spirit fire techniques to burn both the body and the head of the zombie entirely.

A few minutes later, the zombie had been thoroughly incinerated, reduced to ashes.

"Hm? Is this a Corpse Bead?"

Suddenly, Bai Ziyue’s gaze sharpened as he noticed a bead the size of a thumb left on the ground, having emerged from the burning remains of the zombie’s head.

Even from a distance, Bai Ziyue could sense the dense Yin Attribute Energy contained within the Corpse Bead.

The Corpse Bead, perhaps akin to a Demon’s Demon Core, is actually a condensation of energy, although it contains Yin Attribute Power, which offers little benefit to the human body.

However, it can also be used as material to refine similar attribute Magical Artifacts, enhancing their power.

Of course, for zombies or various ghostly entities, it is a valuable nourishment, capable of rapidly increasing their strength.

Even though Bai Ziyue couldn’t use it temporarily, he had to admit it was a good find.

After contemplating for a moment, Bai Ziyue wrapped the Corpse Bead in a cloth and stored it for later. He then moved again toward the edge of the mountain depression.

His gaze flickered as he looked at the cave where the zombie had been hidden, and Bai Ziyue steadied his heart, stepping forward.

However, to be cautious, he cast a Daoist Skill spirit light shield to protect himself.

Soon, Bai Ziyue arrived at the entrance of the cave.

This cave was clearly a Corpse Nurturing Cave, with Yin Attribute Energy inside being several times stronger than outside.

Standing outside the cave, he could clearly feel the bursts of Yin Attribute Qi constantly attacking him.

It was only because of his robust physique and vigorous Qi and blood that he was not disturbed. If an ordinary person stayed here even briefly, they might certainly fall ill.

Unlike what he had imagined, the cave didn’t have a foul odor, only a unique earthy scent that comes with moist soil.

Wielding his saber, Bai Ziyue cautiously entered.

The Corpse Nurturing Cave wasn’t deep, only about ten meters or so.

After several minutes, Bai Ziyue calmly exited the cave, with a pensive expression on his face.

Inside the Corpse Nurturing Cave, there was no trace of the corpse refiner.

If there were, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat the iron corpse so easily.

Nevertheless, Bai Ziyue made some discoveries in the cave.

Judging from the footprints on the ground and a broad Daoist Robe left in the cave, the corpse refiner must be broad and corpulent, far surpassing the average person. freēnovelkiss.com

Moreover, the Daoist Robe seemed all too familiar. Upon recalling carefully, Bai Ziyue’s heart shook, and he whispered, "Is it him?"

Leaving the mountain depression, Bai Ziyue looked at the distant graveyard and finally lost his desire for further exploration. He walked quickly, soon returning to the place where he had burned the Soul-Attracting Incense earlier.

Without stopping to linger, Bai Ziyue wound his way back through the same path, heading swiftly toward his dwelling in the town.

The journey was smooth, except for a slight unease when the night patrolmen spotted him from a distance, visibly trembling. Bai Ziyue returned to his quarters without incident.

"Tomorrow marks the day of the competition with Li Yingru to determine the outstanding disciple’s status."

Bai Ziyue casually drew a Cleaning Talisman, tore it directly, and once his body was clean and free of mud and dust, he murmured, "I can’t wait!"
