Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 393 Corpse Demon!

In some ways, this is a rare and unconventional zombie king.

The corpse demon below appears thin and wiry, with its skin and flesh shriveled and displaying a bluish-black metallic luster, giving it a sturdy and resilient appearance.

Furthermore, the corpse demon's claws were as sharp as knives, resembling small daggers, gleaming with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

Furthermore, the face was merely a thin layer of corpse skin pasted onto the skull, making it appear exceptionally grotesque and terrifying.

Judging from their auras, the Corpse Demon was only at the Celestial Realm level, and the cultivator was about the same.

However, a Corpse Demon is essentially a different kind of Corpse King, or a higher-level demon. At the same level, a Corpse Demon has greater potential and a higher chance of success!

Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators might not be a match for this corpse demon.

As for the cultivator being chased, his cultivation level and strength were both average. The two divine abilities he used were also relatively ordinary low-grade and mid-grade divine abilities with average power.

"Corpse demons are not easy to create. Under normal circumstances, only demonic cultivators can refine such demonic creatures..."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan simply pressed the escape light button.

……

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Mei Changshan's heart raced as he hurriedly fled in his escape light, while simultaneously manipulating a mid-grade magic weapon flying sword to block all the attacks from the relentlessly pursuing corpse demon.

He was now filled with remorse, regretting that he had been blinded by greed. Knowing full well that the ancient cultivator's cave was quite dangerous, he still ventured into it alone. As a result, he had disturbed a sleeping corpse demon inside, and was chased for hundreds of miles.

If this continues, his true energy will definitely be exhausted, and he will be captured by the Corpse Demon.

Anyone who comes into contact with the Corpse Demon will be contaminated by its corpse poison and demonic energy, destroying their entire foundation of cultivation and leaving their skin and flesh rotten.

Roar--

Unable to catch up, the Corpse Demon grew increasingly angry and finally opened its mouth and roared.

The sound was shrill, carrying a peculiar, distorted power.

Upon hearing this, Mei Changshan froze, his whole body convulsed, and he lost control of his internal energy. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Corpse Demon's eyes revealed a faint crimson light, and with a swift movement, it pounced straight forward.

Wisps of black demonic energy emanated from its body, mixed with terrifying corpse energy, yin energy, and evil energy.

Wherever it went, the flowers, grasses, and trees withered and turned yellow, then rotted into mud.

Just as the Corpse Demon was about to touch Mei Changshan,

The surrounding moisture quickly gathered into a ball, then transformed into a sword light that blocked the corpse demon's claws.

Claws clashed with sword light.
clang--! ! !
It produced a loud and clear sound.

The corpse demon recoiled as if electrocuted, hastily withdrawing its arm, while the sword light quickly dissipated, turning into specks of water.

However, it was precisely the appearance of this sword light and the sound it produced that quickly startled Mei Changshan awake, bringing him back to his senses.

When he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was actually safe and sound, and there was a strange figure in front of him.

The figure was a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and a calm and composed expression.

Compared to the brutal and ferocious corpse demon, the young man's presence was much stronger.

Furthermore, a wound appeared on the palm of the corpse demon, from which dripped thick, dark red corpse blood. The blood dripped onto the ground, corroding deep pits and making a sizzling sound. Wisps of gray smoke also rose from the wound, emitting a foul stench.

Mei Changshan immediately realized that this cultivator had just saved him. He quickly bowed and said, "Junior Mei Changshan thanks Senior for saving my life!"

"Hmm, no rush, let me kill this monster first."

Gu Yuan waved his hand casually, then pointed.

Clang——!!!
A clear, resonant sword cry, like the roar of a dragon, rang out, followed by a streak of bright sword light that flew straight towards the corpse demon's brow.

The corpse demon, still somewhat wary and resentful due to its injuries, was planning to continue its attack on Gu Yuan.

However, seeing that Gu Yuan made the first move, it howled and pounced directly at him.

As it pounced, it stretched out its claws to grab at the sword light.

However, it probably underestimated Gu Yuan's strength, and even more so, the ferocity of that sword light.

When the gleaming sword light touched the corpse demon's claws,
puff!

The sword light easily pierced through the claw that was powerful enough to shatter gold and split rocks.

Then, it landed on the corpse demon's forehead.

puff--

With a soft sound, the head of the Corpse Demon, which was harder than adamantite, was pierced by the sword light and then exploded with a bang.

boom!
For a moment, the Corpse Demon stood still, its headless body swaying before crashing to the ground.

Gu Yuan reached out and flicked his finger, and the wisp of bright sword light trembled slightly, turning into a stream of light that flew into Gu Yuan's hand before disappearing.

Mei Changshan, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

This is a rare zombie! An unusual and alien species of zombie, its physical strength is so great that even a top-grade magic weapon would probably have difficulty harming its core.

Its innate divine power is even more terrifying, capable of corrupting a person's cultivation foundation, and its power is comparable to top-tier divine powers.

Now, he was killed by Gu Yuan with a single, easy blow.

Could this senior before me be a Golden Core cultivator?
Mei Changshan was unsure of Gu Yuan's cultivation level and couldn't discern any clues, but based solely on Gu Yuan's actions just now, he concluded that Gu Yuan was absolutely unfathomable.

However, Gu Yuan didn't take it to heart.

To be fair, this corpse demon is indeed quite powerful. Its innate divine power, coupled with its body that is impervious to swords and spears and difficult to be harmed by magical artifacts, makes it a creature with two top-tier divine powers, comparable to true disciples like Chu He and Lu Qian.

However, in front of Gu Yuan, the Corpse Demon's strength was actually not enough.

Just considering Gu Yuan's natal flying sword, the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword, the Corpse Demon couldn't withstand it at all. Not to mention, with Gu Yuan's swordsmanship, not to mention this Corpse Demon, even if it were a Golden Core level Corpse Demon, it would be cut down by his flying sword.

"Where did you provoke this corpse demon?"

Gu Yuan looked at Mei Changshan and asked.

Corpse demons are rarely born from the natural world; in most cases, they are the work of demonic cultivators.

From Gu Yuan's perspective, the corpse demon he had just killed clearly had some artificial sacrificial marks on its body, and seemed to be a refined corpse.

Although Gu Yuan wasn't the type to be irreconcilably opposed to the demonic path, he didn't have any good feelings towards it either.

After all, compared to the Immortal Path, the Demonic Path is much more unscrupulous. Even when they commit evil, they do so openly. The evil deeds committed by any Demonic Path cultivator can be described as utterly inhuman.
