Chapter 548: Chapter 362: Fourth-Rank Sword Pill Unleashed
"A Tier Three Flying Corpse?"
Looking at the zombie in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but be surprised, then sighed, "Truly deserving of annihilation by divine forces!"
When mortals or cultivators die, before the body decays, it can become a zombie by being nourished with Yin Qi and various secret techniques of sacrifice.
Zombies are impervious to blades and firearms, immune to water and fire, and contain potent corpse poison, serving as top-tier puppet warriors.
However, since the True Immortal ascended to their position and the Celestial Palace was established, there haven’t been zombies appearing for a long time.
Any zombie that appears is instantly struck by thunder from the heavens, reduced to dust.
The True Immortal overlooks the heavens, wielding awe-inspiring thunder to patrol the world.
Once demonic magic surfaces, it is reduced to powder in moments, thus maintaining worldly peace for commoners.
Yet, this zombie before him, born with wings and eyes filled with fire, clearly capable of traveling through the air and casting magic, is a Tier Three Flying Corpse, comparable to a Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivator.
Such a being, created in just a few short decades after the True Immortal’s fall, undeniably required immeasurable Yin Qi and corpses, with rivers of blood flowing behind its creation.
The Celestial Demon Sect has no taboos, falling into demon cultivation, is not mere rhetoric.
And this Flying Corpse, bloodthirsty beyond compare, had just flown out from the Celestial Demon Sect’s treasury, exceedingly eager for fresh blood.
Although Jiao Sha Daoist ordered it to delay rather than fight to the death, such a being, lacking complete reason, with a faint sliver of its own consciousness, coupled with Master Jiao Sha’s inability to fully control this Flying Corpse, upon seeing Gu Yuan, it immediately flew up and spat a ball of green flame directly at him.
"Boom!"
This flame carried Yin Qi with a thick poison, incredibly sinister. An ordinary Golden Core Cultivator would die upon contact.
Yet Gu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. He simply lifted a finger, lightly slicing through the void.
Jiao Sha Daoist arranged for this Flying Corpse to delay Gu Yuan because he veiled his aura, making him appear the most ethereal and least threatening among several Late Stage Golden Core great cultivators, as a hidden ace.
"Boom!"
But as he lifted his finger, a booming sound like a tidal wave immediately surged from within him.
It was the sound of Mana surging, intimidating the heavens and earth.
"Zing!"
Moreover, a mist of thunder appeared behind him, from which the shadow of a "Thunder Giant Sword" quietly formed as the mist rolled.
As his finger sliced through the void,
heaven and earth illuminated with light.
All things were obliterated.
"Bang!"
It seemed to happen in an instant, yet perhaps took ages, before a sound of an explosion echoed.
A mass of green-black powder drifted like the wind in the void.
"What?!!"
As the light emerged, not only did it illuminate heaven and earth, but those engaged in battle around also sensed the brilliance of the Sword Intent.
Like a Great Sun mingled with thunder, it surged at their sides, its sharpness indescribable.
Master Jiao Sha, wielding a black lamp, was dropping an endless stream of black Fire Lotuses to block Master Tiandou’s path, but suddenly turned and saw a streak of sword light pass by. Then, the meticulously nurtured Tier Three High-grade Flying Corpse in the treasury, intended as a hidden ace, dispersed like powder, carried off by the wind.
Erased in one sword stroke.
No resistance whatsoever.
The Flying Corpse, proud of its impenetrable body that could rival a High-grade Sword Pill, was obliterated in one strike, as if it never existed.
"A Spirit Treasure Sword Pill?!"
Master Jiao Sha’s expression drastically changed.
A Sword Pill is no ordinary Spiritual Treasure; it is a supreme object combining print and artifact, imbued with ultimate slaughter power.
Only Venerable Sword Cultivators of the Daoist Embryo Realm can forge it.
The path of Sword Cultivation is ceaselessly destructive yet scarce in number; when did the Cyan Peak Daoist School acquire another Tier Four Spiritual Treasure Sword Pill?
Most importantly, this Sword Pill is perfectly integrated, agile yet unparalleled, moving with the Daoist’s thoughts, unlike an inherited foreign object.
How could the Cyan Peak Daoist School have such a person?
"Zing!"
In his moment of shock, another streak of sword light like a Great Sun’s thunder, accompanied by a thousand-foot anomaly, suddenly slashed down, targeting the Wind Thunder Giant Demon before the Sword Fox Immortal.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged endlessly, making this sword radiate to the extreme, so intense that even a Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivator couldn’t bear to directly face it.
"What?!"
But all this was an outsider’s perception; only those confronted could truly feel the terror of this sword.
The Wind Thunder Giant Demon only saw a flash, and the sword light already struck like thunder.
Too swift!
To him, it felt as if this sword was always aimed at him alone, the Flying Corpse merely in the way, turning into ashes.
"Boom!"
The Flying Thunder Giant Demon, spreading its wings with a furious roar, its gigantic wings suddenly closing and fiercely flapping. From the nine-hundred-foot anomaly behind, a divine bird with eight wings and golden eyes also instantly formed.
Fierce winds surged, thunder howled, and a thunderstorm sweeping across heaven and earth rapidly formed, standing before the Flying Thunder Giant Demon.
Wind Thunder Sky Shattering Divine Wind!
This wind, formed from wind and thunder, contained countless "Wind Thunder Blades," overwhelming and mighty, was its inherent technique.
Yet under the sword light, the void split in two.
The hurricane sweeping the world was split in half in an instant, the radiant sword light passing unhindered, slashing onto the Flying Thunder Giant Demon.
"Clang"
The sound of metal striking metal echoed through heaven and earth, a dazzling spark appeared mid-air.
The scale armor on the Flying Thunder Giant Demon, capable of withstanding a High-grade Treasure’s attack, shattered within a second. The radiant sword light gushed fiercely, threatening to split its massive body in two.
