Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Appearance of the Corpse Demon
After listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Xiu also secretly shouted in his heart that he was lucky, I was afraid that if he came half a day late, he would really be like what the middle-aged man said, and he would never be able to find their clues again.
At this time, Ye Xiu had already determined the cultivation of the two of them, and the old man's cultivation was the pinnacle of the third-grade Taoist realm, and he was probably only a little short of the Taoist realm, but he was already old, and I am afraid that there was no hope of breaking through in this life.
And the strength of the other middle-aged man is also a third-grade Taoist realm, and his strength is slightly lower than that old man, after analyzing the enemy's strength, Ye Xiu has a plan.
He first quietly approached the place where the two were talking, and when the old man entered his attack range, he instantly burst out, since the other party was a ferocious and vicious person who slaughtered the residents of a town, Ye Xiu naturally would not be polite when he made a move, and when he came up, he was his strongest killing move, the Ice and Fire Breaking Talisman!
When the old man was defenseless, he was immediately shot through the sea and killed instantly.
Originally, Ye Xiu wanted to deal with the middle-aged man at the same time, but that guy was surprisingly alert, and he was reflexive, and he dodged the three water arrow talismans shot by Ye Xiu sideways, and he looked at the corpse of the old man who fell to the ground not far away in surprise, and shouted:
"Who are you, you dare to be the enemy of my Xiao family!"
"Someone who came to kill you!"
Ye Xiu didn't continue to shoot, but looked at the middle-aged man playfully.
"Hmph, don't think it's great that you can kill the Great Elder, it's just a sneak attack, you and I are both monks of the Sanpin Taoist realm, and it's not certain who will kill the deer today, not to mention that I still have a corpse from the Taoist realm here..."
It's just that he was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered something, and turned around in a hurry, but it was too late, as soon as he turned around, he met a bloody mouth, and with a snort, he was bitten off the neck by a huge corpse demon with a height of more than a zhang!
The corpse demon was obviously ferocious, but it was not enough to bite off the middle-aged man's neck, but he began to suck his blood in a big gulp, and after the blood was sucked up by it in a few bites, the two thick arms, just with a slight force, tore the middle-aged man's headless corpse in half and threw it aside, but it was obviously not satisfied, and soon set the target on Ye Xiu's body.
And Ye Xiu had already expected this scene, the reason why he would give priority to killing the old man was because it was obvious that the old man had some kind of Dao technique to control the corpse demon, if he fought head-on with the old man with the corpse demon, it would be equivalent to directly fighting against a strong man in the realm of a first-grade Dao master, but if the old man was killed first, then the corpse demon would become a beast with no spiritual intelligence and only bloodthirsty, and it would be much easier to deal with.
As for the middle-aged man, he was looking for death by himself, and accidentally stood in front of the corpse demon, just now when the corpse demon was sucking the blood of the middle-aged man, Ye Xiu was not idle, he had already released the quagmire binding trap in the position where he was standing, and released a fire-based divine talisman on himself.
At this time, seeing the corpse demon looking towards him, Ye Xiu also saw the appearance of the corpse demon clearly for the first time:
The tall humanoid body was covered with blue-brown strong muscles, but the nails on the two huge palms were as long as ordinary daggers, and the nails flashed with blood-red light, which looked extremely sharp, and his face was even more unforgettable, even more hideous and terrifying than those walking corpses outside, and he was staring at Ye Xiu with a pair of scarlet eyes at this time.
In order to lure the enemy, Ye Xiu moved a step backwards slightly.
The corpse demon was really fooled, and instantly pounced towards Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu still underestimated the speed of this corpse demon, and it was so fast that even the current Ye Xiu could barely react, but fortunately, Ye Xiu had already prepared, and at the same time that the corpse demon's claws were about to claw him, the quagmire restraint was launched, and the corpse demon's body fell violently, and the sharp claws with bright red nails clawed on the ground less than an inch away from Ye Xiu's feet, directly smashing a deep pit on the ground.
Ye Xiu seized this opportunity, and instantly released an ice and fire killing talisman that had been prepared for a long time, and when he saw that the spear mixed with the power of ice and fire fusion was about to hit the center of the corpse demon's eyebrows, it instinctively raised its huge right claw to block it, only to hear a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the ice and fire killing talisman did not pierce the corpse demon's right claw, but only blasted off a layer of skin and flesh on it.
This couldn't help but surprise Ye Xiu, he didn't expect that although his strength was infinitely close to the Dao Master Realm, compared to the strength of the real Dao Master Realm, there was still such a gap.
After knowing that he was incapable of the enemy, Ye Xiu made a judgment in an instant, only to see that after his left hand instantly shot out two more quagmire bondage charms, his right hand made a move to the ground at the same time, which was to summon the storage ring of the old man who had been killed by him into his hand, and the fire system magic talisman on his legs exploded, with his current body method, he disappeared in front of the corpse demon in a few jumps, and ran away according to the exit of the passage.
Although those two quagmire bindings can only trap the corpse demon for more than a dozen breaths, it is enough for Ye Xiu to escape, after escaping to the exit, Ye Xiu is several fireball talismans in unison, knocking down the hole, and now the corpse demon is out of control, I believe that with his intelligence, as long as the hole is sealed, it should not escape in the short term.
After killing a few guards who rushed over after hearing the voice, Ye Xiu quickly left Yuxi Town, and after finding a secluded place, Ye Xiu took out the old man's storage ring, and sure enough, he found a large amount of Xuanyin grass inside.
In addition, there are some classics and spirit stones, one of which is called "Nine Yin Refining Corpse Decision" The Dao method attracted Ye Xiu's attention, compared to which old man used this Dao technique to refine the corpse demon.
Thinking that he might use this Dao technique to control the runaway corpse demon, Ye Xiu simply studied this Dao technique, but in the end he ended in disappointment.
It turns out that when refining the corpse demon, in order to control the corpse demon, the caster needs to constantly feed the corpse demon with his own essence and blood, which is similar to the method of recognizing the master of the Dao weapon, so once the caster dies, there is almost no way to control the corpse demon, and what's worse is that with the passage of time, the corpse demon will gradually form its own consciousness, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a disaster to be the party that runs out!
For today's plan, it is to quickly absorb the wood aura of the Xuanyin grass and break through to the realm of the Daoist, so that he can deal with the corpse demon, thinking of this, Ye Xiu will not delay any longer, meditate cross-legged, and concentrate on absorbing the wood aura in the Xuanyin grass.
Time passed minute by minute, and a large amount of wood aura was inhaled by Ye Xiu from the Xuanyin Grass into his sea of knowledge, but Ye Xiu didn't realize that there was a black gas as thin as a gossamer hidden in this Xuanyin grass, and the second black qi also entered Ye Xiu's sea of consciousness along with the wood aura at the same time...
Seven days later, in a barren mountain outside Yuxi Town, a powerful aura fluctuation suddenly erupted, and countless demon beasts fled in panic after feeling this terrifying aura.
And the source of all this is Ye Xiu, at this time, Ye Xiu has successfully broken through and promoted to a first-grade Taoist master, just when the Dao in the heart of the Five Elements Dao turned from blue to purple, he released a powerful aura fluctuation, which is why there was this scene just now.
Feeling the powerful aura in his body, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel excited, because at this time, his strength in all aspects had been qualitatively improved:
First of all, in the physical aspect, in the process of breaking through to the realm of the Taoist, his physical body is nourished by a massive amount of five elements aura, constantly shooting out the impurities in the body, and the activity of every part of the body has been greatly improved, which is the reason why the marrow washing, that is, the life span of the cultivator, will continue to increase with the breakthrough of cultivation.
On the other hand, it is the comprehension and performance of many Taoist techniques in the "Xinghai Sect Elementary Dao Technique", you must know that although this book is called a primary Taoist technique, it is aimed at a super sect like Xinghai Sect, and in fact, there are many Dao techniques that are extremely powerful compared to Ye Xiu at this stage.
For example, the Fire Dao Method--Nine Fire Flame Dragon, the Earth Dao Method--Stacking Mountain Technique, etc...
In the past, even if Ye Xiu could comprehend some of these Dao techniques, he could not perform them because of the limitations of aura, but at this time, the degree of aura that Ye Xiu could mobilize was greatly improved, and these were naturally no longer a problem.
Of course, these Dao techniques are not comparable to the Fireball Technique and the Water Archery Technique, not only is it very difficult to comprehend, but if you want to use it, you need countless times of practice, Ye Xiu has heard that some people with a slightly worse understanding need years or even decades to master such a high-level Dao technique.
Finally, the Daoist Realm's control of the aura has entered another level, and it can condense a layer of protective shield called the aura shield around it at will, this protective shield is extremely strong, like fireball and water archery, such low-level spells cannot be broken at all, which is also one of the reasons why the Daoist realm cannot defeat the strong in the Daoist realm.
After sorting out his harvest, Ye Xiu decided to comprehend the Nine Flame Dragon Technique first, because although the power of the Ice and Fire Breaking Talisman was very powerful in the Daoist realm, it was a fusion of two low-level Dao techniques, and it was still slightly insufficient to kill a corpse demon whose body was comparable to a Dao weapon in one fell swoop.
Controlling the crane and catching the dragon is an extremely advanced Taoist technique, but it requires strong spiritual power as a backing, although Ye Xiu's spiritual power is different from ordinary people, it is still far from enough to exert the true power of controlling the crane and catching the dragon.
Therefore, the best way to improve your strength in the short term is to rely on your superhuman comprehension, first try to master a Dao technique, and this Nine Fire Flame Dragon Technique is a powerful fire Dao technique specially used to attack, as long as the fire aura is enough, this Dao technique can show amazing destructive power, because it is a simple attack spell, so it is slightly easier to comprehend than other Dao techniques.
The reason why Ye Xiu was able to enter the Dao with a talisman was because of his own focus and perseverance, the experience of being a human being in two lifetimes and the experience of meditating on talisman making for ten years also gave him an unusually deep understanding of Taoism, and in just a few days, Ye Xiu completely understood the essence of the Nine Flames Dragon Technique!
With a dazzling array of magic seals forming in his hand, a circle of light with flame ripples appeared out of thin air above Ye Xiu's back and on the left and right sides.
"Drink!"
Immediately after Ye Xiu's loud shout, the three fire dragons the thickness of the bucket were twisted and long bodies scrambled out of the aperture, the three fire dragons were all composed of scorching flames, the speed was extremely fast, and they were gathered in one place almost instantly, only a loud bang was heard, and a small hill in front of Ye Xiu's body was directly razed to the ground, and this kind of power was probably worth ten ice and fire killing talismans.
Ye Xiu exhaled deeply at this time, looked at the big crater in front of him that was blown up by himself, first nodded with satisfaction, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
Nodding his head is because, the power of this Nine Fire Flame Dragon Technique is really strong enough, just by condensing three fire dragons, the power is so powerful, if the Nine Dragons are fired together, the power can be imagined!
Shaking his head is because although this technique is good, but the consumption is also very large, even if Ye Xiu has the maintenance of the Five Elements Dao Heart, he can only release six fire dragons with all his strength, and at this time, when three fire dragons are released, most of the aura on his body has been consumed, and he has to take out the spirit stone obtained from the storage ring of the Great Elder of the Xiao family first, and recover it first...
