Chapter 137: Corpse
Footsteps sounded slowly, and a figure slowly walked out of the cave.
This person was wearing a magic robe of a disciple of the outer sect of the Heyin Sect, holding a jet-black long sword in his hand, and approached Zhou Shu step by step, without saying anything, the long sword was raised and stabbed directly at Zhou Shu.
Without hesitation, Zhou Shu took out a quagmire talisman and threw it out, trapping the man in the mire, and then jumped a few feet back, carefully looking at the cultivator in front of him.
The man's face was pale, there was no blood, his eyes were red, there was no trace of brilliance, and his body exuded bursts of strong evil qi, cold and piercing, and it was like a cold winter within three zhang.
He stared at Zhou Shu, his pupils became more and more red, his lips moved slightly, and he kept hissing, and the long sword in his hand was raised, shooting out sharp sword rays.
Zhou Shu dodged the sword, and his expression was very serious.
The cultivator in front of him can't be called a human anymore, this is a corpse!
What is a corpse?
Corpse refining is similar to corpse refining, both are a means used by some cultivators who have cultivated evil skills to enhance their own strength, but the difference is that corpse refining is made from the corpse of a dead person, while corpse refining is made from a living cultivator.
To refine the evil corpse, it is necessary to give the cultivator a poison pill made of the demon beast demon pill, and then cultivate it with a special method, and the means are ruthless. The demon pill of the demon beast carries an extremely strong evil aura, which is useless for normal cultivators, whether it is alchemy or anything else, but for evil cultivators, it is a good material for refining evil corpses.
Compared with the infinite power of the copper mountain's iron wall refining corpse, the evil corpse also has its own special features, it is extremely murderous, and it can use the magic of the original cultivator, which is no different from the living.
Although the method of refining corpses has been criticized in the world of cultivating immortals, it is still a normal method for cultivators, and the world of cultivating immortals can tolerate it, but refining corpses and using cultivators as their own materials is intolerable, and everyone can be punished.
The demon corpse in front of him was obviously refined by a disciple of the Heyin Sect, and this matter was not trivial.
Zhou Shu looked at the cave behind the corpse, his expression became more and more solemn, and he didn't know if the person refining the corpse was in this cave.
It seems that they should flee immediately.
But Zhou Shu only thought for a moment, then walked forward quickly, taking advantage of the moment when the corpse was trapped in the mire, he launched a fierce attack on the corpse.
Zhou Shu decided to deal with the corpse and figure things out by himself.
Because everything seems very strange, refining the evil corpse is a very special secret method, and the materials needed are also very rare, and even the third-order and fourth-order materials are used, so many things, such a rare secret method, but it is used on a cultivator of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm, it is a pure waste of resources, how strange it is.
To put it mildly, this is another type of overkill, as long as a normal person will not do this, a piece of superb equipment, given to passers-by, who would want to.
Besides, cultivators who can understand the refining of evil corpses will definitely be above the foundation building realm, and they can definitely use their divine sense to probe their surroundings.
This person refining the corpse was refining the corpse within the control of the Heyin Sect, and was discovered by himself, a disciple of the Heyin Sect, knowing that he would definitely attract the revenge of the Heyin Sect, he actually did not immediately rush over to kill people and kill people, but let himself explore the valley for so long, without any movement, it was obvious that he was either not here, or he was already dead.
No matter what, it is very beneficial to Zhou Shu and it is worth a fight.
The two long swords clashed, one black and one white, using the Torrential Rain Sword Technique, with the same moves, and the clanging sound of collision was endless.
The corpse is trapped in the mire, although it can't move, but the long sword swings extremely fast and ruthlessly, before he becomes a corpse, he must have put a lot of effort into the sword trick of the torrential rain, each sword is extremely sophisticated, and he has won the essence of the sword trick.
Moreover, the long sword in the hand of the demon corpse is definitely not ordinary, and when it collides with Zhou Shu's second-order middle-grade cloud-chasing sword, it does not fall behind at all, and each sword is like a boulder pressed down, with great strength, either the material of the sword is not ordinary, or the sword has its own auxiliary trick to increase strength.
If it weren't for Zhou Shu's deeper understanding of the sword technique, he was afraid that he would be defeated in a few moves, but at this time, the two were inseparable.
After fighting fiercely for a while, Zhou Shu's mood gradually relaxed.
They fought so fiercely at the entrance of the cave, and no one came out of the cave, which confirmed his previous belief that there was only a danger of corpses here.
The person refining the corpse is either not there at all, or he is dead.
Sensing this, he put all his mind on the sword technique.
Like the bats, this evil corpse, whose cultivation is similar to him and whose sword skills are very exquisite, has also become the object of his sword practice.
In a short period of time, it was like two showers of rain, falling alternately.
Syllable!
A shining sword light flashed, directly cutting off the corpse's right hand, and falling down with the black sword.
Far from feeling pain, the demon corpse was more courageous, using both mouth and hand, expelling clouds, fireballs, and ice picks, and sending out several tricks one after another.
But these Qi Refining Realm techniques are no longer too threatening to Zhou Shu, even if they don't care, Jin Liuli can block them. Zhou Shu raised the Cloud Chaser Sword, picked off the fireballs and the like one by one, and then pierced the throat of the corpse, ending his fate that was worse than death.
The corpse is different from the corpse refining that has completely died, people are still alive and need food, but they have become simple killing machines, similar to demon beasts. But it also has something in common with the refining corpse, that is, they are all saved.
As soon as the corpse died, the surrounding evil qi gathered towards him, and the evil qi on his body became more and more intense, gradually forming a faint smoke, covering his entire body, as if a layer of frost was caged. If you leave it alone, if it continues like this for a while, it will become something like a corpse demon beast, which is even more terrifying and terrifying.
Zhou Shu glanced at it a few times, but didn't move at first, planning to deal with it after exploring the cave.
He picked up the black sword casually, and felt different when he started it, it was very heavy, somewhat similar to the Shen Xing Iron Hoe, but it looked like it was made of better material. The sword head is round and blunt, and the sword body is inscribed with the two ancient words "Black Star", the aura is clear, and the grade is also a second-order middle grade, no wonder it can compete with the Cloud Chasing Sword.
Putting away the Black Star Sword, Zhou Shu stood for a while, feeling that the evil qi in other places was decreasing except for the corpse, so he walked towards the cave.
Obviously, this evil corpse is the source of evil energy, and as soon as the evil corpse dies, the evil energy in the valley gradually dissipates.
The cave is not very long, and it will come to an end after walking dozens of feet.
At the end was a small grotto, and no matter what was in the grotto, Zhou Shu's eyes fell on the middle of the grotto for the first time.
There was actually a person sitting cross-legged in the middle, a person who looked like a skeleton, the outline of the bones behind him was clearly visible, and he was extremely thin.
The man had his back to Zhou Shu, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Zhou Shuwan didn't expect that there was really someone inside, but from this person, he couldn't feel a trace of spiritual power, he put his heart at ease, most of this person was not a cultivator.
The man seemed to feel it, and slowly turned around, staring at Zhou Shu with extremely dry eyes, revealing a weird smile.
Zhou Shu was stunned, "It's you?"
