After a slight hesitation, Lin Xuan walked forward.

However, after only taking two steps, he stopped. He flicked his sleeve, and a black ray of light flew out.

The motionless zombie suddenly jumped up, and a fierce light flashed across its eyes. It immediately avoided it, seemingly quite a bit afraid of the black light.

As expected.

Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of ridicule, this monster was pretending to be dead. It was worthy of being a thousand-year-old zombie with intelligence comparable to humans.

Most probably, it wanted to attack him when he got close. If he guessed it correctly, this guy could absorb a cultivator’s essence to heal itself.

Lin Xuan used Magic Art and shot a few more black rays of light out. The zombie didn’t dare to take them head-on. It was because of an important reason. This was a Magic Art recorded in the Heavenly Devil Corpse technique, and it had the most magical effect on dealing with such monsters.

Of course, if the Corpse King in front of him was in top shape, Lin Xuan would not dare to provoke it. However, after a battle with the two experts, especially after witnessing the Golden Core’s self-detonation, although it wasn’t dead, it could only display up to 10% of its power!

Taking advantage of it while it was down was not something he did for the sake of righteousness. However, a monster such as a Corpse King was not a being one could encounter easily.

With the Magic Art contained in the Profound Demon Scripture, it could be very useful. Not to mention that it was a top-quality one, it was more powerful than average.

Although he mastered a zombie controlling Magic Art, Lin Xuan was still extremely careful. After all, he just witnessed this zombie’s heaven-defying power. Although it was in quite a miserable shape, Lin Xuan still had no intention of underestimating it at all.

The Corpse King’s eyes flashed with a strange red light as it looked at Lin Xuan with a greedy expression. If he could eat this cultivator, although his injury could not be recovered immediately, it would be much better.

Compared to that old man, this youth’s cultivation base was not worth mentioning. It was just that the black light was quite difficult to deal with

But it was not in a hurry. By being a monster that has lived for a thousand years, he was quite an sly fox. Obviously, although this black light was powerful, it also consumed a ton of Spiritual Power. A mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator can’t support it for long. So of course…it was about to fight a battle of attrition.

After fighting for a while.

Lin Xuan’s expression gradually became impatient. There was also a faint trace of fear.

He suddenly gritted his teeth and released a black beam of light with the length and thickness of his arm. He flung it with all his strength and turned to flee.

Want to run?

The Corpse King was startled, and would naturally not let its prey slip away, his figure turned into a bloody beam of light, and followed closely behind.

Perhaps this cultivator was scared to death. In his panic, he didn’t choose the path to the exit. Instead, he flew into the depths of the valley.

The Corpse King was overjoyed and chased even more eagerly.

It didn’t take long before it came to an open field. Lin Xuan’s figure flicked for a few moments and then disappeared.

The Corpse King stopped and looked around. Doubt arose on its face.

With a low-pitched growl, the Corpse King stretched out his claws, and two blood-red beams shot out towards the direction in which Lin Xuan had disappeared.

Puff…..

In the originally empty air, there was a curtain of light that was as dark as ink. The two red beams hit it, but like a mud cow entering the sea, it disappeared without a trace.

The Corpse King’s expression changed. However, before he could take any action, the scene in front of him shifted, the valley disappeared and was replaced by a strange wasteland. The sky was dim, and countless Yin Ghost and Malicious Ghosts wandered around.

Extreme Yin Spirit Array!

If he wasn’t confident in succeeding, how could he risk his life? As long as this array was used properly, it could actually trap a Core Formation Initial Stage expert.

The Corpse King was of course much more powerful. But its strength was greatly diminished, and it wouldn’t be able to break out of this array!

Lin Xuan was holding a green jade plate in his hand. This treasure is the control center of this array, and Lin Xuan from time to time used some Magic Arts on its surface…

The Corpse King roared harshly. With a wave of its sharp claws, the evil spirits that rushed towards it were all slashed in half. Soon, more Yin Ghost pounced on it.

At the same time, the surrounding black fog was churning and surging, forming various weapons such as swords, sabers, spears, and halberds, and they were arranged in a densely packed formation. There were probably hundreds of them.

The face of the Corpse King asking also showed a hint of fear. A red light flashed across its body, which quickly formed a protective film around it.

Lin Xuan snorted, spread out his hands, and then slammed them together again. Following his movements, the weapons formed by the black fog issued a piercing sound and rushed towards the Corpse King.

The Corpse King naturally wouldn’t sit still and wait for its death. It opened its mouth and spat out a small bead. The bead was about the size of an egg and glowed with a demonic red light.

Corpse Bead!

Although there were countless zombies, this one in front of him was obviously different. The reason why millennium zombies had intelligence, was because they re-established a new soul under the constant nourishment of Yin Qi, which resided in their so-called Corpse Bead.

As for its importance, one could easily guess.

It has even taken out its Corpse Bead. Obviously, this Corpse King is at the end of its road, with not much energy left.

Lin Xuan showed a hint of happiness on his face and took out the Wu Hook from his storage bag.

He then flipped his left hand over, and the Hundred Soul Banner appeared on his palm.

The Corpse King in the array naturally couldn’t see Lin Xuan’s actions. After the Corpse Bead was taken out, he immediately suspended it over his head, and the Corpse Bead then released a protective barrier.

At the same time, the array’s attacks had already arrived!

The black fog continuously condensed into countless sharp weapons, and the Wu Hook into a fire dragon and joined the attack.

As for the Hundred Soul Banner, Lin Xuan, who has learned the techniques of the Ghost Dao, naturally used this treasure in a different manner.

The Yin Ghosts released by it did not attack with their teeth and claws like before.

Instead, under Lin Xuan’s wisdom, each released a different spell.

Those spells looked very strange, and they seemed to have a certain restraining effect on the Corpse King. A single Yin Ghost was not a big deal, but when combined, they could produce considerable damage.
