Chapter 215 Demon Sect’s True Teachings
"It seems that the demon cultivator doesn't want us to leave." Ming Yueyue looked at the demon cultivator who was approaching, her tone full of eagerness to try.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this person."

Ding Shiyan stared at the demon cultivator. He was alone, but he was so calm in the face of the four of them. It was obvious that he was confident.

"Do not worry."

Although Ming Yueyue is a little crazy, she is an expert in fighting. The number of battles fought by Gu Mo and the other two combined may not be as many as Ming Yueyue's.

After saying this, the bamboo sword in Ming Yueyue's hand turned into a spirit snake and slashed towards the demon cultivator at an extremely tricky and strange angle.

"Ding!"

However, when the bamboo sword slashed at the demon cultivator, it made a sound of metal clashing. Ming Yueyue's attack was unable to break the defense.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Ming Yueyue's eyes couldn't help but become solemn. To be able to take her sword head-on and remain unharmed, he is definitely not an ordinary demon cultivator.

"Only this?"

The demon cultivator said indifferently, "If you don't have the means to please me, then you can only die."

"Insanity!"

Ming Yueyue snorted coldly, and the next moment, a flying sword as thick as a finger appeared. This was Ming Yueyue's real natal flying sword.

"Thousand Swords Dance!"

After summoning out her natal flying sword, Ming Yueyue used her ultimate move. In an instant, the flying sword, which was as thick as a finger, turned into countless afterimages and slashed towards the demon cultivator like a rainstorm.

"Puff puff!"

In an instant, the sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh were heard, and in a moment, the demon cultivator was stabbed into a hedgehog by countless sword shadows.

But before Ming Yueyue could be happy, the hoarse voice of the demon cultivator sounded, "It has some taste, but it's not enough!" As the demon cultivator spoke, an afterimage approached in an instant, and then a fist with terrifying power slammed towards Ming Yueyue.

"Not enough? Well, how about this!"

Looking at the rapidly approaching fist, Ming Yueyue's eyes were also filled with madness. The next moment, extremely sinister sword intent burst out from the demon cultivator's body.

Ming Yueyue's flying sword attacks were all accompanied by her extremely yin sword intent. As the flying sword pierced into the demon cultivator's body, the sword intent was like a bomb, buried in the demon cultivator's body.

"Boom boom boom!"

The extremely yin sword intent exploded, instantly causing the demon cultivator's body to swell and tear apart. However, the demon cultivator seemed not to feel the pain, and directly punched Ming Yueyue despite the explosion of the sword intent in his body.

"what!"

Seeing that she couldn't stop the demon cultivator in this way, Ming Yueyue's eyes were filled with disbelief, but she obviously couldn't dodge this punch. Since that was the case, Ming Yueyue gave up dodging, and gathered the sword intent in her body, preparing to launch another attack.

"retreat!"

At this moment, a green lotus emerged and blocked the fist heading towards Ming Yueyue for a moment. Seeing this, Ming Yueyue quickly stepped back.

However, it was Ding Shiyan who saw that something was wrong and took action in time to resolve Ming Yueyue's crisis.

"You are the true disciple of Yinshi Sect."

After keeping a distance from the demon cultivator, Ding Shiyan stared at him. Through the observation just now, Ding Shiyan was able to confirm the other party's identity.

Because the other party had just used the Yinshi Sect's inherited magical power, the Corpse Ghost Transformation.

This supernatural power can only be practiced by the true disciples of the Yinshi Sect. It is said that the Yinshi Sect has treasures that assist in the practice of this supernatural power, which has enabled the Yinshi Sect to master many of the true disciples of this supernatural power. Therefore, this supernatural power can also be called the inherited supernatural power of the Yinshi Sect.

By mastering the transformation of corpses, you can directly transform into a zombie and gain the zombie's terrifying strength, defense and regeneration ability, as well as the zombie's powerful resistance to poison, curse and immortality.

That’s right, in the state of corpse transformation, the true disciples of the Yinshi Sect are theoretically already dead. Since they are already dead, there is naturally no possibility of being killed again.

Unless the soul hidden by the Shikigan transformation is annihilated, even if the zombie transformed by the Shikigan transformation is destroyed, it cannot be completely killed.

This is the power of supernatural powers.

"You are Zero, who ranks third on the Demonic Prodigy List!" Following Ding Shiyan's words, Ming Yueyue immediately guessed the other party's identity.

As a contestant who will take part in the Tianjiao Battle one year later, Ming Yueyue naturally studied everyone on the Demonic Tianjiao List. However, there was only one true disciple of the Yinshi Sect on the list, and that was Ze Luo who was ranked third.

"In this case, you can rest assured and become the nourishment for my practice?" Zero's mouth was cracked all the way to his ears.

He really likes the way others feel when they know his identity and then feel fear in their hearts. Only those who die with fear can give birth to the best resentful souls.

"How ridiculous! Are you the only one?" Ming Yueyue's eyes were cold, but she subconsciously clenched her hands, showing her nervousness.

Ming Yueyue was only ranked 20th on the list of righteous geniuses, and she was not yet a true disciple of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect. Naturally, she felt tremendous pressure when facing a person who was ranked third and was a true disciple of the Yinshi Sect, which was also a top sect.

"Yueyue, let's join forces." Ding Shiyan sent a voice message, "Junior Brother Du, Junior Brother Gu, you assist."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Although the enemies are strong, they are all geniuses on the genius list. I can't beat them one-on-one, but if they join forces, they will not be crushed.

"Whizzing!"

The two sword cultivators, Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan, took the lead and charged directly towards Zero, while Du Jinpeng summoned his trump card, the Roaring Ancient Tree, from his spirit pet bag.

Then, a sound-gathering vine with morning glories wrapped around the roaring ancient tree.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the roaring ancient tree let out a low roar, and after being restrained by the sound-gathering vine, the power of the roar increased dramatically.

The Yinshi Sect's corpse ghost transformation has extremely high resistance to general attacks, but has very poor resistance to attacks from the soul sound waves such as the Roaring Ancient Tree.

The attack of the roaring ancient tree caused Zero's figure to pause slightly. Seeing this, Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan seized the opportunity and burst out with all their strength.

However, Zero's body defense was too strong in the corpse-transformation state, coupled with his terrifying recovery ability, unless he used absolutely overwhelming force, he would be unable to do anything to his opponent.

Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan need to be careful of Ze Luo's attacks at all times. Once hit, their small bodies will at least be seriously injured.

Fortunately, Zero, in his corpse-transformation state, is unable to use his magic power and can only fight with his physical body.

Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan can use sword-controlling techniques to launch long-range attacks, plus Du Jinpeng's roaring ancient tree harassment, so Zero can't do anything about the combined efforts of everyone for a while.

As for Gu Mo, he did not take action because his position in the team was a healer.

At the same time, most of Gu Mo's attention was on the obscure aura in the distance. This was the real threat to everyone. Although Zero was strong, even if everyone joined forces they could not defeat him, they could still protect themselves.

"Why don't you just become my food? Why are you resisting?" Zero said with a hint of irritability when he saw that he couldn't defeat them. "Forget it, I won't play with you anymore." Suddenly, the irritable Zero calmed down.

Seeing this, Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan looked at each other, somewhat confused about what Zero was going to do, but both of them were on full alert.

"Ok!"

Gu Mo, who was always paying attention to the obscure aura in the distance, suddenly focused his eyes, because the obscure aura was approaching this side.

"Get back!"

Gu Mo said to Ming Yueyue and Ding Shiyan in front of him.

"what?"

Hearing Gu Mo's inexplicable words, the two women were stunned, but they both chose to believe Gu Mo's words and quickly retreated. At this time, a figure appeared where the two had just stood.

He was a young man with a feminine look and a pale face, not looking like a living person.

"Zero, you are Zero!"

Ming Yueyue looked at the young man in surprise.

This is Zero's true appearance. Before, everyone thought that he was in disguise, but now it seems that the one who just fought with them was not the real Zero. The one who appeared at this moment was him.

"You are good. You have been able to fight my corpse puppets for so long." Zero looked at everyone with indifference.

He sneaked into the righteous territory to collect materials from the evil path, and naturally would not expose his true self. Instead, he let the corpse puppets take action while he hid behind. In this way, even if he encountered any emergency, he could retreat safely.

"what!"

Upon hearing that the one fighting against them was just a corpse puppet of the other side, Ming Yueyue's eyes were filled with disbelief. If a single corpse puppet made them helpless, then how powerful could the third place on the Demonic Prodigy List be?

"However, the fighting here is still a bit too loud. I'm sorry that I can't continue to tangle with you, so now please become my food, and I will make good use of you." Zero's tone of voice was like that of a frail and sickly brother next door, but the content of his words was full of cruelty.

"You want to keep us?"

Ming Yueyue took out a sword talisman. As a genius, how could she not have any life-saving trump card? At this moment, in her hand was a sword talisman that could unleash the attack of a Nascent Soul Sword Lord. This was given to her by her master.

Not only Ming Yueyue, Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng also have it, but their life-saving trump cards are of defensive attributes, and Gu Mo also has an escape talisman in his hand.

"it's useless."

Zero glanced at the sword talisman in Ming Yueyue's hand. The next moment, Zero's originally pale face turned blue-black, and finally two fangs grew out of his mouth.

This is the real transformation of a corpse. The corpse puppet just now had only removed its original disguise. The corpse puppet was originally a zombie with the strength of a golden elixir.

It’s just that people don’t understand the Yinshi Sect’s inherited magical powers, so they mistakenly think it is a corpse ghost transformation.

"I see!"

As Zero displayed his magical powers, Gu Mo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the other party had given him a strange feeling before, and even made Gu Mo suspect that the other party was a Nascent Soul Demon Lord. Now the case has been solved.

After Zero performed the Corpse Demon Transformation, his aura had reached the Nascent Soul level.

This means that the other party has cultivated the power of Corpse Transformation to the mastery level. The entry-level Corpse Transformation can transform into a zombie of the same level, but the mastery level Corpse Transformation can transform into a zombie of a higher level.

Zero has reached the great perfection of the Golden Core realm, and by performing the corpse ghost transformation at the mastery level, he can transform into a zombie with the combat power of a Nascent Soul.

This is also Zero's trump card, and the confidence for him to become famous in the upcoming Tianjiao Battle. Once he achieves the final victory in the Tianjiao Battle and obtains a large amount of resources, he will be able to prepare to impact the Nascent Soul Realm.

When he enters the Nascent Soul stage, and then uses the Corpse Ghost Transformation at the mastery level, he will be able to transform into a zombie in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. By then, at the level of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord, he will no longer be considered a weakling.

"It's over!"

Feeling Zero's Nascent Soul-level aura, Ming Yueyue's face turned pale. It was obvious that the sword talisman in her hand could no longer intimidate the zombie at the Nascent Soul-level.

Ding Shiyan and Du Jinpeng's defensive trump cards will also be ineffective. Even if they can hold on for a short period of time, their defense will be broken as long as the opponent attacks a few more times.

The hope of escaping with the escape talisman is slightly greater, but only slightly, because the level 4 zombies are no longer as clumsy as the level 3 zombies.

"Junior Brother Gu, you have an escape talisman. You run first and report the news here." Ding Shiyan glanced at Gu Mo and said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Gu Mo was stunned. He was complaining in his heart that he would be forced to show off, and many things would be difficult to explain. But under the current circumstances, it seemed that there was no other way.

Although the 4th level zombies were powerful, they were not impossible for Gu Mo to deal with. But before Gu Mo could speak, Ding Shiyan asked him to run away.

"Okay, I'll lure him away, and you take the opportunity to run away." Ding Shiyan's words made Gu Mo's eyes light up. This gave him an idea, which was to lure the enemy away and kill him, and then say that he met a righteous Yuanying Zhenjun on the road, and killed the enemy who was chasing him.

"no!"

Seeing that Gu Mo had misunderstood her meaning, Ding Shiyan hurried to explain, but at this moment Gu Mo had already activated the escape talisman and fled far away.

"Want to escape?"

Zero sneered. Seeing his trump card, he still wanted to leave. How could this be possible? Immediately, a pair of flesh wings extended from behind Zero, and then turned into a stream of light and killed Gu Mo.

The corpse puppet was responsible for holding back Ding Shiyan and the other two and preventing them from leaving.

"hateful!"

Seeing that her decision had harmed Gu Mo, Ding Shiyan felt very upset, but at this moment, facing the corpse puppet that was coming to kill her again, Ding Shiyan could only calm her mind and fight with all her strength.

Two beams of light flew through the air, one in front and one behind. In the blink of an eye, they had traveled a thousand miles.

“This should be about the same.”

Gu Mo looked around and found that there were no immortal sects or mortal cities nearby, making it a perfect place to eliminate the enemy.

"The power of the escape talisman has been exhausted!"

Seeing Gu Mo in front slowing down, Zero was overjoyed. Gu Mo's escape talisman was given by Hou Chunyu, so its quality was naturally top-notch. If Gu Mo hadn't taken the initiative to cut off the power of the escape talisman, Zero would not have been able to catch up for a while. If he continued to go deeper, Zero would have to consider whether to retreat.

After all, this is the territory of the righteous. Even if the righteous and the evil sides agreed not to attack the geniuses on the genius list, this is only an agreement not to enter the other side's territory to attack. However, if the other side's genius comes here on his own initiative, there seems to be no agreement in this regard.

Fortunately, the target's escape talisman has run out of power, and this place is very suitable for action.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zero felt something was wrong. It was too coincidental that the target's escape talisman's power was exhausted in such a place.

"Is there a trap?"

Zero's consciousness quickly spread to the surroundings, and he was cautious in his heart. He did not focus his vigilance on Gu Mo throughout the whole process. After all, how much threat could a Jindan in its early stage pose?
