Mo Fan blasted the furred zombie with a single punch, completely stunning the three others. Even Mo Fan himself was momentarily taken aback, then he curled his lip and said, “That’s it? And it dares to call itself indestructible?”
At the same time, he was secretly frustrated in his heart, thinking, “If I had just used the Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability to swallow that zombie, would there have been some unexpected gains?”
However, he soon shook his head, feeling he was overthinking it. After all, logically speaking, zombies did not count as living creatures.
“No, although they lack the aura of the living, they might not necessarily be dead things. Perhaps they are a different kind of life form!
It seems that if I get the chance in future, I should swallow a zombie and study it properly!”
While Mo Fan was engaged in this series of inner thoughts, the cultivator from the Corpse Yin Sect could not help but feel his scalp go numb. It was only now that he realised one thing.
He seemed to have kicked an iron plate… no, a bloody steel plate!
With this thought, he lost all desire to fight further and turned to flee.
“Fellow Daoist, where are you off to?”
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator had not flown far when he saw that terrifying fellow appear in front of him, smiling amiably as he looked at him.
“Se… Senior, spare my life!”
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator immediately panicked, his face turning into a bitter gourd as he begged for mercy.
“Easy enough. Leave behind your storage artefact, and this king will spare you!”
Mo Fan spoke with a beaming smile, returning the other’s earlier words to him.
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator smiled bitterly inside. Though unwilling, he had no choice but to comply. He directly removed the storage pouch from his waist and tossed it towards Mo Fan.
Mo Fan waved his hand casually upon seeing this, taking it into his possession. He nodded at him with great satisfaction and said, “You’re a good lad, quite sensible.”
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator gritted his teeth, seething with hatred inside, but on the surface he nodded obsequiously and said, “May I leave now?”
“What’s the rush? Follow me for now!”
Mo Fan left those words and turned around directly, looking towards the other two fellows. At the same time, a light remark drifted out, “By the way, if you dare run, I guarantee I won’t kill you.”
“…”
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator was speechless, yet he dared not make any rash moves.
Seeing Mo Fan turn his gaze towards them, the two righteous path cultivators both felt a headache coming on. A bad premonition rose in their hearts, so they steeled themselves and cupped their hands, saying, “Senior!”
“This king just saved your lives, shouldn’t you repay me with something?”
Mo Fan said this with a smiling face.
The actions of these two just now had displeased him greatly, and now he intended to teach them a proper lesson.
Hearing Mo Fan say this, the two cultivators smiled bitterly, exchanged glances, and could only nod, saying, “Fine, we’ll hand… hand over the items to Senior right now.”
With that, the two simultaneously launched an attack on Mo Fan.
Whoosh!
The youth cultivator sacrificed his iron block artefact, aiming straight for Mo Fan’s brow.
Swish!
The middle-aged cultivator slashed down with his blade, a massive blade light spitting out like a streak of fiery radiance, engulfing Mo Fan!
After doing this, the two did not hesitate and each fled in a different direction.
The Corpse Yin Sect disciple behind Mo Fan, seeing this, also turned without hesitation and escaped!
“Ding!”
The iron block artefact struck Mo Fan’s brow with a light ring, then was bound by Mo Fan’s demonic power. No matter how it vibrated and hummed, it could not break free.
Then he waved his hand, easily dispersing the blade light.
After doing all this, Mo Fan opened his mouth.
Divine ability, tongue arrow!
Whoosh!
A breaking sound rang out as a scarlet shadow shot forth, crossing more than ten zhang in an instant. It directly pierced the youth cultivator’s protective light shield and also bored through his chest!
Soon, the youth cultivator was dragged back by the tongue arrow and plunged straight into Mo Fan’s bloody maw.
Immediately after, black feathers emerged behind Mo Fan. With a slight flap, he vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the middle-aged cultivator.
“Die!”
The middle-aged cultivator roared, swinging his broadsword directly at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan neither dodged nor evaded. He raised a hand and grasped the broadsword in his palm. With a slight exertion of force, the broadsword instantly shattered!
“Don’t kill me, I’m willing to serve Senior!!”
Seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator panicked at once, shouting in terror.
“Sorry, with your strength, you don’t even qualify to be this king’s dog!”
Mo Fan spoke indifferently, then opened his mouth and swallowed him. After that, he turned and chased after the last fellow.
Before long, the Corpse Yin Sect cultivator was blocked by Mo Fan.
“Senior, you said you wouldn’t kill me!”
This cultivator looked at Mo Fan in despair, his heart filled with fear.
“What’s the panic? Did I ever say I’d kill you?”
Mo Fan rolled his eyes, then stated his purpose, “I’m very interested in your Corpse Demon Palm Seal, or more precisely, the corpse poison in your palm seal. So next, you must transfer all of it to me!”
The cultivator was stunned upon hearing this, his heart easing slightly, but he still wore a troubled expression and said, “Senior, my corpse poison can only be unleashed through my cultivation method, it’s not convenient to transfer to you…”
“No matter, just go ahead and hit me with that Corpse Demon Palm Seal. Don’t worry about whether it’ll hurt me or not.”
Mo Fan waved his hand, speaking straightforwardly.
“Really?”
Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in the cultivator’s eyes, though he quickly hid it.
“What nonsense!”
“If you can’t do it, this king will reward you with a palm!”
Seeing the cultivator dithering, Mo Fan spoke irritably, then gestured for him to attack.
And so, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The Corpse Yin Sect cultivator kept unleashing Corpse Demon Palm Seals at Mo Fan, while the latter remained completely unmoved, instead wearing an expression of great comfort.
Mo Fan was naturally not a masochist. Rather, he discovered that the corpse poison contained in this fellow’s palm seals could strengthen his own Life-Death Poison.
Mo Fan had cultivated the Myriad Poison Spirit Body, possessing hundreds if not thousands of deadly poisons, but he had never encountered this kind of corpse poison.
Now, as the corpse poison entered his body, the Life-Death Sword Pellet absorbed it frantically, making his Life-Death Poison far more terrifying once again.
This was precisely the reason Mo Fan had spared this Corpse Yin Sect cultivator.
Not to mention how refreshed Mo Fan felt inside, after the Corpse Yin Sect cultivator had struck dozens of palms, he was drenched in sweat, his face extremely pale.
The Corpse Demon Palm Seal, as a secret technique of the Corpse Yin Sect, naturally consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual power.
So at this moment, the cultivator could no longer hold on. In the end, he could only beg, “Senior, I can’t go on, I really can’t, please let me go!”
“Just a few dozen palms and you’re done?”
“Hurry up, if you don’t reach a hundred palms today, this king will swallow you alive!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with this fellow’s attitude, intending to squeeze him further.
Thus, after another ten or so palms, the Corpse Yin Sect cultivator collapsed completely onto the ground. Seeing Mo Fan’s cold gaze, he gritted his teeth, his face full of anger, and said, “Demon, I’ll fight you to the death!”
With that, he lunged at Mo Fan.
At this point, his spiritual energy was nearly exhausted, his body severely overdrawn, barely stronger than a mortal. How could he be Mo Fan’s opponent?
In the end, this Corpse Yin Sect cultivator was swallowed in one gulp by Mo Fan, thoroughly ending his suffering.
“Sigh!”
“This king really did intend to let you go, but alas, you lacked the stamina yourself. You can’t blame this king!”
Mo Fan sighed, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
He discovered that after fusing with the corpse poison, his Life-Death Poison seemed to have become even more terrifying, the entire sword pellet evolving to the level of a top-grade artefact.
“If I have enough poisonous substances to fuse, the Life-Death Sword will surely evolve into a true magical treasure. At that time, it should pose a huge threat even to Core Formation cultivators!”
Mo Fan murmured to himself. Through this corpse poison, he had gained more insights into advancing the Life-Death Sword.
Then he no longer hesitated, turned, and flew towards the distant canyon.
Arriving at a mountain cliff, he carefully looked towards the scene in the centre of the canyon, only to see the entire canyon had become a complete mess, the ground riddled with thousands of holes.
However, the giant lizard was nowhere to be seen, presumably having returned deep into its cave once more.
“Fine then, this king will spare your life for now. I’ll come back later to take it!”
Mo Fan chuckled, then spread his wings and flew into the distance.
“It’s time to rendezvous with Bai Tian Tian and Hei Yi and the others!”
“I wonder how they’re faring now, whether they’ve grown even stronger?”
