Beneath the lake that is temporarily formed after the water gathering technique is performed.

The corpse demon, who was blinded, instinctively moved in the direction of the fish hook according to Jiang Yu's guidance.

When the corpse demon saw the cyan cyclone that exuded endless temptation underwater.

He opened his red mouth and bit it forward.

"Hiss~"

As soon as the corpse demon bites the fishhook, the barb on the hook pierces the flesh of the mouth.

The pain was huge and constant throughout his body in an instant.

The consciousness that had been blinded by the soul separation technique was slowly recovered at this time.

"I'm ...... ...... to be treated like a fish! ”

The water, the line, the hook, and the bite of the hook.

When the recovered corpse demon carefully observed everything around him, he was furious to find out.

I don't know when I was caught as a fish.

"Damn, I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have experienced a lot of life and death moments."

"It's the first time I've been teased like this as a stupid fish!"

In the mind of the corpse demons, the fish that have been caught by anglers using bait.

It's as annoying as a fool who can't wait to take the bait at the slightest temptation.

And now, I don't know why, I have turned into such a fool.

In a daze, he bit the hook in front of him.

After thoroughly figuring out his situation, the corpse demon began to struggle violently.

He can be defeated because of his lack of strength, or he can be defeated because of his lack of skill.

But I just can't tolerate being teased like a fool.

This is also the reason why even if he burns his own life, he has to gain great strength to die with Liu Qing and them.

It's really because Liu Qing's combat effectiveness in front of him is too humiliating for him.

However, just when the corpse demon opened his mouth to remove the hook that had hooked him.

But he made a very frightening discovery.

That is, this hook that pierced into his own flesh and skin, and he couldn't even take it off.

It's like it's growing with its own flesh and skin.

No matter how much the corpse demon tore it, he could never let the hook separate from his mouth.

Even in the end, the corpse demon figured out a way to rip his mouth off entirely.

But the hook was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, still firmly hooking his body.

Since he couldn't get the hook off his body, the corpse demon hit the idea on the fishing line.

"As long as I cut the line connected to the hook, I will be able to break out of the other party's control over me."

"As for what happened to this weird fishhook, I'll wait until I get rid of these people before we look into it."

Just do it.

The corpse demon grabbed the translucent fishing line in front of him and pulled it hard.

After a few seconds, to no avail.

"This fishing line is so weird, I can't tear it off with nearly half of my strength!"

In order to be able to get out of the shackles as soon as possible, the corpse demon decided not to hold back.

He remobilized his strength, and this time, he almost used all his strength.

The huge force was applied to the fishing line, and even the float on the surface of the lake began to shake violently.

"Hungry ......!"

The greater the power unleashed by the corpse demon, the more it will float and tremble.

It wasn't until the entire float was completely submerged in the water that Jiang Yu, who was full of anticipation, began to pour spiritual power into his arm.

When the strength of one of his arms was full, he pulled the rod back with all his might.

Under Jiang Yu's pull, the translucent fishing line was quickly broken straight.

At this time, the corpse demon was still trying to cut the weird fishing line.

But this translucent fishing line is made of some material, and it is extremely tough.

Even if the corpse demon tried his best, there was still nothing he could do with it.

For the sake of his dignity, the corpse demon has never given up.

And also for the sake of dignity, Jiang Yu is also constantly exerting himself.

The rod is connected to the fishing line, and the fishing line is connected to the hook, all the way to the corpse demon that is caught in the body by the hook.

They were all pulled out of the lake by Jiang Yu.

Feeling his body suddenly being pulled by a huge force, the corpse demon immediately understood.

This was obviously the monk of the Qingling Sect pulling the fishing rod.

"You're really going to fish me like a stupid fish, aren't you?"

Seeing that his body was slowly moving outward, where would the corpse demon be slaughtered like this.

Thinking that he has committed dozens of crimes in this Snow Cloud City, he can be regarded as a famous demon when it is rumored.

It would be more humiliating to be fished out of the water like a fish with a fishing rod than to have his bones crushed to ashes.

"Even if my corpse is dead, I will never suffer such a great humiliation!"

The current corpse demon has changed the direction of his efforts from cutting the fishing line to competing with Jiang Yu's power.

"Don't you want to catch me like a fish!"

"Then don't blame me for dragging you into the water like a fisherman!"

In all kinds of dazzling spiritual skill competitions, the corpse demon's physical cultivation may be inferior to that of a monk who cultivates qi.

But if they are simply competing for the power of the body, then their body refiners have a unique advantage.

"Come on!"

The corpse demon used his big hands to pull the fishing line in front of him and pulled it back hard.

The fishing line, which had been tightened, began to squeak under the action of great force.

Jiang Yu, who was in mid-air, was dragged back by the corpse demon so hard, and some of them didn't stand firm.

He almost dragged him into the water.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu reacted quickly and condensed his spiritual power in time, so that he could slightly reach a relatively stable balance with the power of the corpse demon.

When Jiang Yu heard the screeching sound above the fishing line, the whole person began to continue to be excited.

"This sound is the cry of a fish!"

In the past six months, Jiang Yu has followed Liu Qing to fish many times, and he has heard this kind of "squeak" sound from the fishing line many times.

Jiang Yu knew in his heart that this was the sound made by the power of the angler and the fish acting on the fishing line.

But he still followed Liu Qing's statement and said that this sound was the cry of a fish.

"The sixteenth rule of the angler: as long as the fish makes this call, it means that it has reached its most critical moment.

At this time, as long as the angler works a little harder, he will definitely be able to catch the fish out of the water! ”

Regarding Liu Qing's teachings, Jiang Yu has always been familiar with them.

Now, it is finally time for him to put this theoretical knowledge into practice.

"Come up for me!"

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and held his breath.

Almost all the spiritual power of his body was gathered on his own arms.

In order to be able to pull this "big fish" in the water ashore.

And underwater, I felt the pressure on my body increase suddenly.

The corpse demon did not hesitate to continue to burn his own life in exchange for more powerful power.

Now, the corpse's head, chest, and abdomen have all turned an eerie red.

It can be said that in order to deal with Liu Qing and other human monks, he has burned out two-thirds of his life.

"It's not enough!"

Continue to cast the Bloodburn Technique, and the red area continues to spread downward.

Another tremendous force spread to the corpse demon's body.

As soon as this power was generated, it was immediately used by the corpse demon and thrown into the battlefield with Jiang Yu.

Of course, with the blessing of this power, the corpse demon has begun to have a clear upper hand in the competition with Jiang Yu.

Outside the lake, Jiang Yu, who was stepping on the spirit sword, was slowly moving towards the water.

Two meters, one meter, half a meter......

In the blink of an eye, the spirit sword under Jiang Yu's feet had already touched the surface of the water.

As long as he continued to descend a little further, the spirit sword would be directly submerged in the water.

"Senior Brother Jiang, work hard!"

Seeing that Jiang Yu was a little downwind, Liu Qing hurriedly shouted at him.

As an excellent fisherman, Liu Qing knows it very well.

Now is the most important moment in Jiangyu's fishing career.

Because this is related to the dignity that a fisherman should have, Jiang Yu can't and can't participate in the competition between outsiders and the corpse demon power.

Jiang Yu can only rely on himself now.

"Do you think you can drag me into the water just by relying on the strength of my flesh?"

"Then I'll tell you now, I, Jiang Yu, am not an ordinary monk!"

Suddenly, several crimson pills flew out of the storage ring on Jiang Yu's right hand.

Jiang Yu opened his mouth and swallowed all the pills.

Then, a huge wave of spiritual power immediately erupted around him.

Everyone saw that Jiang Yu's arms, which were originally covered by wide sleeves, suddenly began to swell violently.

Jiang Yu's arms became thicker and stronger.

Finally, he ripped through his shirt and was exposed to the air outside.

"It's ...... Unicorn arm?! ”

The Qilin Arm is a special spiritual skill of the enhanced class.

After casting, the caster's arms can be strengthened for a short period of time.

As a result, the caster can gain a significant increase in strength in a short period of time.

This spiritual skill, Liu Qing once saw an inner disciple selling it in the sect square.

It's just that at that time, the inner disciple offered three thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Although Liu Qing was very yearning for this unicorn arm, he finally chose to give up because of the high price.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Yu displaying this spiritual skill, Liu Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Sure enough, it's worthy of the rich Senior Brother Jiang Yu, and he has even learned such an expensive spiritual skill."

After casting the Qilin Arm, the strength of Jiang Yu's arms rose rapidly, and in a short time, he steadily overpowered the corpse demon below the surface of the water.

Watching Jiang Yu step on the spirit sword gradually move away from the water and continue to rise into the air.

The crowd that had been watching all the time applauded.

Only the succubus who was bound by the immortal rope showed a desperate look at this time.

She knew how great the sins she had committed in the past month and a half.

He also knew what kind of punishment he would receive once he fell into the hands of the Qingling Sect monks.

After being captured, her only hope of survival fell to her ally, the Corpse.

But now, the corpse demon has obviously fallen into disadvantage in the confrontation with Jiang Yu.

This is tantamount to directly extinguishing the hope of the succubus.

"Brother Jiang, go on, keep working hard!"

"Quick, it's already out!"

Among the crowd, it was Zhang Sanren who was the most enthusiastic to watch.

As a demon hunter who has traveled around the world, it has always been his duty to hunt down demons and eliminate evil.

Now, seeing Jiang Yu have the upper hand in the power competition with the corpse demon.

Zhang Sanren has already brought his whole person in.

So much so that he began to be a little speechless when he was excited.

Of course, everyone's attention was now all on the water, and they didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Sanren's words.

I saw that above the calm water, the huge body of the corpse demon began to slowly appear.

Of course, because the corpse demon had been struggling, it was not easy for Jiang Yu to drag him out of the water.

It had already taken five or six minutes just to get the corpse's head revealed.

"The fish are out of the water, which of you will help me copy it?"

Seeing the corpse demon's head slowly emerging from the water, Jiang Yu was even more excited at this time.

He turned his head to look at the people behind him and said.

Among all the people, if you want to say that you have the most experience in fishing, it is Liu Qing, the king of fishing, who is undoubtedly the king.

Therefore, it is safe for him to do such a thing as fishing.

But just when Liu Qing was about to say yes, Zhang Sanren in front of him recommended himself first.

"I'm me, I'm here, this corpse demon let me copy it!"

Hearing that Zhang Sanren was so confident, a trace of doubt appeared on Liu Qing's face.

"Third Brother Zhang also knows how to fish?"

Zhang Sanren shook his head with a smile on his face.

"I don't know much about fishing, but I know demons.

I know how to copy this corpse demon with the least effort. ”

Liu Qing nodded when he heard this.

"Well, this corpse stealing thing.

Leave it to the professional Third Brother Zhang, you can do it! ”

Not far away, Jiang Yu, who was pulling the fishing rod vigorously, flashed the storage ring on his right hand slightly.

A huge net slowly fell into Zhang Sanren's hands.

"This fellow Daoist, hurry up and copy it!"

"Uh-oh."

Hearing Jiang Yu's anxious call, Zhang Sanren held a huge net in his hand and quickly came to the edge of the lake.

At this time, the corpse demon's entire head and neck were completely exposed.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sanren did not hesitate, waved the copy net and copied it directly.

As soon as the net entered the water, it immediately wrapped the corpse demon's body entirely.

"Pull!"

Seeing that Zhang Sanren had already succeeded, Jiang Yu continued to hold the fishing rod and shouted loudly at him.

So, the two of them started to exert force at the same time, directly dragging the entire upper body of the corpse demon out of the water.

"Ah......h

The corpse demon, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength by Jiang Yu, began to struggle violently at this time in the face of the two of them at the same time.

"You ...... Don't just think about making me give in like this! ”

The corpse demon twisted his huge body and roared at Jiang Yu and them.

At this point, the red area that had spread throughout his upper body began to continue downward.

Soon it was covered to the knees.

"He's still burning his life!"

Zhang Sanren exerted his strength while passing the news to Jiang Yu.

"Leave him alone, keep pulling hard!"

Jiang Yu filled his mouth with a few pills again, and his pair of unicorn arms became even thicker.

Zhang Sanren also used all his strength, and dragged the net in his hand backwards.

The corpse demon's body slowly moved outward again......

"Can't...... Absolutely not...... Keep burning ...... me! ”

With the roar of the corpse demon, his entire body was already occupied by crimson.

Just after the corpse demon turned red all over.

In the next second, a burst of flames suddenly burned on his body.

First his hair, then his head, then his chest and abdomen......

In just half a minute, the corpse demon's huge body was completely enveloped in raging flames.

Even the part of his body that was still immersed under water did not survive.

"...... this?"

Seeing this scene that suddenly happened to the corpse demon, Jiang Yu looked puzzled.

Zhang Sanren shook his head helplessly.

"This is the negative effect of the Blood Burning Technique."

"If the corpse demon wants to gain more power, he can only burn his own life as a price."

"Once the red zone on his body spreads throughout his body, it means the end of his life."

Sure enough, when Zhang Sanren's voice just fell.

The flame that enveloped the corpse's body had burned out.

Above the water, there was no longer the huge body of the corpse demon.

Some are just a faint layer of black smoke.

"It's over......"

Seeing that layer of smoke slowly dissipating, Zhang Sanren sighed slightly.

Although this corpse demon has violated the bottom line by killing ordinary people in Snow Cloud City at will in order to improve his strength.

But his act of sacrificing his life for dignity still made Zhang Sanren sigh in his heart.

After the corpse demon completely disappeared, Jiang Yu also slowly fell to the ground.

The lake that had been formed by the previous water gathering technique was also gone.

Jiang Yu looked at the restored courtyard and muttered to himself:

"Almost, just a little."

"I barely managed to catch this fish......"

Seeing that Jiang Yu was a little depressed, Liu Qing walked quickly to his side.

He patted him lightly on the shoulder, and he was supposed to comfort his half of the disciples.

However, fortunately, it was because of Jiang Yu's operation to catch corpse demons.

was able to make the corpse demon choose to end the battle by ending himself.

Otherwise, the huge energy obtained by frantically burning life behind the corpse demon alone.

Once he attacked any of Liu Qing's people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After dealing with the corpse demon, Zhang Sanren's task as a demon hunter was completed.

He had a few brief greetings with Liu Qing and the others, and then said goodbye and left.

Liu Qing glanced at the succubus who was firmly bound by the immortal rope, and then looked at the others in the courtyard.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

After this real battle, he finally understood a profound truth.

That is, all powerful spiritual skills must be built on a sufficient foundation of strength.

It's like a person who has mastered a lot of skills but the hardware can't keep up.

In the end, it's just a fist and leg embroidery.

Slightly soothing his spirit, Liu Qing put on a calm smile again.

"The corpse demon has been dealt with by you, Senior Brother Jiang."

"Then let me go back and interrogate this succubus!"
