Chapter 28: The False Taoist

The conditions for the birth of this kind of thing are extremely harsh, according to the ancient records in the Taichu Sword Pavilion, it seems that a person with a specific birth date is required to die at a specific time, and it also needs to be buried in a specific place, and the dead must have resentment, these conditions are only the basis for the formation of the corpse demon, and even on the basis of these conditions, the corpse demon can be finally formed.

One can imagine how rare such a thing as a corpse demon is.

Another point is that the reason why corpses are rare is also related to their habits.

The cultivation of corpse demons does not rely on the aura of heaven and earth, but on corpse qi, which seems to only exist in the underground where there are dead people buried, and under normal circumstances, they will sneak into these places, swallow dead qi, and sleep all year round, rarely come out to move.

The formed corpse demon is extremely powerful, and in the history of Sword Pole Heaven, there have been three historical events in which a certain kendo holy place was controlled by it to kill hundreds of billions of dead people because it provoked the corpse demon.

It is worth noting that in the three incidents, there were unequal numbers of Sword Saint corpses among those dead people, which is also an important reason why the corpse demons were able to destroy those Sword Dao Holy Lands.

It seems that the strength of the dead controlled by the corpse demon depends on the strength of the corpse owner during his lifetime.

Li Jiang quietly advanced in the thick fog, it is true that this dense fog has the effect of blocking the five senses, but when it comes to the strength of the five senses, the living are definitely much stronger than the dead, and the reason why the three sword cultivators were besieged by the dead was not that the dead knew where they were, but that the corpse demons locked their tracks.

Without the control of the corpse demon, it is difficult for the dead to find the living.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king first is the only way to deal with the corpse demon, and Li Jiang is looking for the corpse demon's hiding place at this time.

In the town under the thick fog, Li Jiang searched for a long time, but he did not find any trace of the corpse demon, which made his brows furrow.

"The corpse demon is cunning by nature, and controls so many dead people, it must be around here...... Where the hell are they hiding?"

Although because of the dense fog, you can't see anything beyond three zhang, but this town is so big, Li Jiang, who touched it around, felt that it was almost the same, why didn't he find any trace of it.

Suddenly, an electric light flashed in his mind.

"Quenching Blood Spirit Crystal, Mayor Mansion!"

Li Jiang immediately turned around and returned to the mayor's mansion.

In the process of the corpse demon's growth, most of the time it will follow its instincts, lurking deep underground, swallowing dead qi, and cultivating the dead body, but in rare cases, it will also appear.

One, it was greatly disturbed, and second, there was something that attracted it, and the rest of the situation was unknown.

There are not many things that can attract corpse demons, and the Quenching Blood Spirit Crystal is precisely one of the things that Li Jiang knows.

The mountain spirit beast wants to transform into a human form, and in the same way, the corpse demon also wants to return to the yang and achieve vitality, as an alternative life form, if it wants to return the yang, it needs one thing, that is, blood.

Pure and vibrant blood is the key to its transformation.

Therefore, in addition to swallowing death qi during the long life of the corpse demon, there is also a pool of blood in its body, which is used to condense and refine blood.

Once the time is ripe, the blood in the blood pool will come into play, helping it metamorphose and become a more powerful being.

Quenching the Blood Spirit Crystal, a spirit crystal that can refine blood and make it more pure and powerful.

This is also the reason why it appeared in Tianxin Town.

Li Jiang suddenly woke up, feeling that this corpse demon was probably lurking around the mayor's mansion, just because the quenching blood spirit crystal was in the mayor's mansion.

When Li Jiang sneaked back to the mayor's mansion, only one old man was left among the previous three sword cultivators, and the other two were probably killed by the dead.

The rest of the old people are just struggling to support themselves, and I'm afraid they won't live long.

Li Jiang glanced at it and jumped into the mayor's mansion.

There was silence in the mansion, the dim light of the fire in the lobby seemed lonely in the thick fog, and the air was filled with a pressure that made people unconsciously slow down their breathing.

"The mayor and the villagers are not in the lobby, where have they gone?"

Li Jiang walked through the mansion like a ghost, and at this time, a voice suddenly drifted into his ears.

"Young man, don't want to play any tricks on Poor Dao, a little frightened, Poor Dao's hand will tremble, if you shake it, this sword will cut your neck~"

Li Jiang searched for the sound, and saw the Taoist priest in the lobby just now, at this time he was putting his sword on the neck of the town mayor's grandson, it seemed that he wanted the other party to take him to find the quenching spirit crystal.

In the lobby, this Taoist priest looks decent and has a dusty temperament, he didn't expect to do this kind of thing, it seems that the bald Mo Dahai is right, this Taoist priest is a fake Taoist priest who has no conscience.

Li Jiang sneered in his heart and quietly followed.

The Taoist priest and the young man walked towards the inner courtyard of the mayor's mansion, and then turned around, and finally stopped in front of a firewood house.

In the firewood room, the young man trembled and removed a few piles of firewood from the corner, lifted a wooden plank, and then a cellar entrance appeared.

"My lord, this spirit iron is in this cellar. ”

The Taoist priest did not speak, but motioned for the other party to go down to the cellar, and the latter was afraid of the sword weapon on his neck, so he did not dare to disobey, and went down to the cellar.

After the Taoist priest followed, he really saw a blood-colored spirit iron the size of a grinding plate.

"My lord, I brought you the road, I can ...... Uh-uh......" As the young man spoke, he suddenly felt speechless, and it was only then that pain came from his throat, and he raised his hand to touch it, and his palm was moist, and his hand was covered with blood.

"You... You...... No credit!"

"Poor Dao is a good person, Poor Dao is just shaking hands. ”

The Taoist priest didn't look at the young man who fell to the ground and died, and when he walked in front of the blood-colored spirit iron, he was about to start fighting it away.

Just then, a strange wind blew into the cellar.

Li Jiang, who was hiding in the shadows, clearly saw a woman with a cloak rushing into the firewood room, and the wind behind her was unpleasant.

Ghouls!

A moment later, the entire firewood room suddenly collapsed, and in the chaos, two figures rose to the sky, one surrounded by sword qi and the other wrapped in black gas.

"Where did you come from, the poor road didn't look for you, but you sent it to the door yourself!"

The original corpse demon was like a beast, his wits were exhausted, and where would he communicate with him more, the corpse was angry, and he pounced fiercely on the Taoist priest.

Buzz –

The black sword in Lao Dao's hand with a very poor quality bloomed a sword light, and thousands of sword qi roared in all directions around his body, and his momentum was not bad.

He was not afraid of the corpse demon, and he struck out a sword light with a swing.

Bang Bang Bang!

The demon corpse didn't have half a bit of fancy moves, its hands were like King Kong, slapping away the sword light, and then hitting the black sword, like striking iron, with a bang.

The Taoist priest obviously underestimated the power of the corpse demon, and was constantly retreating by it.

Li Jiang, who was hiding in the dark and observing, was a little funny, the corpse demon was an amazing thing, something that might not be seen for hundreds of years, and at the same time, it was rare, and naturally it was not an ordinary thing.

The corpse demon can not only control the corpse, but its own dead body will continue to grow stronger with the time of cultivation, comparable to the demon beast, its strength can be imagined.

"This Taoist priest still has his hand. Li Jiang saw clearly, this Taoist priest didn't do his best at all, and he didn't even use his sword skills, otherwise he wouldn't have been pressed like this by the corpse demon.

As soon as this corpse demon appeared, Li Jiang made a simple judgment on it, and concluded that it would not take more than three years to become a corpse demon.

If it weren't for the Quenching Blood Spirit Crystal, it probably wouldn't have appeared at all, but would have been buried underground for thousands of years, and if it came out at that time, it would definitely be a great demon that would plague living beings.

Obviously, this Taoist priest was also guarding against others.

"Haha, you fake Taoist priest with no conscience, I didn't expect you to find Lingtie first, but it's useless, this Lingtie will be surnamed Lao Tzu from now on!"

The bald head Mo Dahai rushed out of the thick fog, his appearance and words were as arrogant as ever.
