Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 153 Gu Zhao: Is this the Soul-Stabilizing Seal?
Master Yihong, Master Yansong, and Master Mingyu joined forces, and the two centuries-old corpse demons were both at a disadvantage.

Gu Zhao and Yun Yang, of course, were not idle either.

The reason why Shiwang Cave can be considered one of the four major forces in Changping Prefecture, along with Jinfeng Sect, Sanjue Mountain, and Bi'ang Palace, is naturally because it is not just a small group, but has a considerable number of people.

Compared to the Golden Wind Sect, which is full of ghosts and gods, the Three Absolutes Mountain and the Bi'ang Palace are full of demons, and the Stone King Cave is mostly filled with ghosts, with a few monsters as well.

Or rather, it is a monster similar to a ghost.

Yun Yang wielded his longsword, unleashing over a dozen sword flowers, piercing a gray-clad man through the heart. The man revealed his true form: an ugly gray-haired monkey with a somewhat rotting body, exuding an aura of mixed demonic power and corpse energy.

Yun Yang disgustedly shook his longsword, using his true qi to clean all the bloodstains off it, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"What is this?" Gu Zhao asked.

Yun Yang thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Demon corpse? Corpse demon?"

Gu Zhao nodded. "That's a perfect description."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pink hue flashed before Gu Zhao's eyes, and he smelled a sweet fragrance.

"Son~"

A voice, pure yet alluring, cool yet seductive, ethereal yet filled with desire, rang in Gu Zhao's ears. Gu Zhao turned around and saw a woman moving with light, graceful steps, approaching him with an air of mystery. As she swayed, the light gauze covering her body was both transparent and revealing, making her vital parts appear and disappear.

"Good guy!"

Gu Zhao was startled and immediately unleashed a Heavenly Thunder Spell.

"Boom!"

Pink smoke billowed out, and a sweet, slightly burnt aroma wafted through the air—the smell of some kind of perfume powder being burned and destroyed.

But the woman's appearance remained unchanged. Apart from the sweet, burnt smell of the air, which could no longer conceal the faint stench of death, the woman was still a beautiful and delicate figure.

However beautiful this woman was, in Gu Zhao's eyes she was no different from a skeleton. The strong murderous aura told him that the person in front of him was a wicked corpse demon.

"Do you really think I'm ignorant?" Gu Zhao stepped onto the Dipper, channeled his energy, made a hand seal with his left hand, and pointed with his right sword finger. A wisp of fire shot out from his fingertip, growing larger and larger in the middle of the way, turning into a net of fire.

"I've seen Yinggao's videos, and I've watched all the girls on Douyin and Kuaishou. Whether it's real sex or just photoshopped flirtations, I've seen more than you know. You still want to seduce me?"

Gu Zhao pressed down with his right hand, and the fire shield spell descended upon the woman's head. "Demon, reveal your true form!"

"Ah!" The woman screamed in pain. Her light gauze dress was disheveled, and her fair skin was grayish-black, but her face was still beautiful and her figure was exquisite and alluring.

"Huh?" Gu Zhao was taken aback, not expecting that this was the woman's true form.

"You're a ghoul, and your true form is this beautiful too?" Gu Zhao asked curiously.

Seeing that Gu Zhao was not swayed by her at all and showed no mercy, the woman trembled with fear. She looked at Shi Wang and Rong Wen, who were both at a disadvantage, and was shocked. She turned around and tried to run away.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of sword light streaked past, and Yun Yang blocked the woman's path, looking her up and down. "The sect leader is asking you a question, so why aren't you answering?"

The woman subconsciously said, "I am a beautiful corpse. This is my true form. The touch is no different from that of a living person, and even more smooth and firm."

"hiss--"

Realizing the two men seemed interested in her, the woman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly turned back, begging for mercy, "Young master, spare my life! I'm willing to become your slave, to be your concubine, and to be at your mercy." "Hiss—"

"Young master, you can do whatever you want with me!" The woman lightly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin. "This humble woman can also do many things that no living person can..."

"laugh!"

A sword tip pierced through her chest, and the pure Yang Qi shredded the corpse energy and soul within her body. The woman's gentle charm turned into fear, and then she lost all her vitality and life force.

Even in death, the woman's body retained its previous delicacy and beauty.

"Aren't you scared by the fact that many living people can't do these things?" Gu Zhao shook his head helplessly.

"That was terrifying. Let's kill him and be done with it." Yun Yang was still shaken.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yang drew his longsword and slashed at a short figure that had crawled out of the cave again to try to escape. This monster was not very powerful and its transformation was incomplete; it had a rat's head on its tiny body.

However, Yun Yang abruptly stopped halfway through swinging his longsword.

"No malevolent aura, so this is a good monster?"

Yun Yang was curious and carefully examined the rat spirit, whose eyes were filled with fear and who was trembling.

Yun Yang looked him up and down several times, which almost scared the rat demon to death. Only then did he make way and point to the door, saying, "You must not do anything immoral or harmful, and you must not take lives. Cultivation is not easy, so don't ruin your own life."

"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing my life, Master! I have never harmed anyone!" The rat demon nodded repeatedly, then shrank back to its original form and fled along the wall.

"That's a..."

"A mole?"

Gu Zhao clicked her tongue, then turned to another man in gray, who gave her a fawning smile. "This little demon has never harmed anyone."

Gu Zhao nodded, casually unleashing a three-hit combo: Heavenly Thunder Spell followed by Divine Thunder Spell and Earthly Thunder Spell. Wood generates fire, which generates earth, and that combo took him down instantly.

"With such a heavy aura of malevolence, you still say it hasn't caused any deaths?" Gu Zhao sneered.

Sensing that they had encountered enemies in the main hall of the cave, the demons and monsters who were preparing to come out to help saw how powerful the group was and immediately let out a shout and ran away.

Gu Zhao didn't know if there was a back door, so he waved his hand and scattered several large dragon-locking talismans. The dragon-locking light curtain formed instantly, blocking all the entrances and exits of the cave.

Those who haven't come out yet can't be managed for now, but those who have already arrived shouldn't leave.

……

On the other side, Daoist Yansong used Taiyi Wind and Fire to sweep away all the Yin and cold energy in the entire cave. The flames burned the stone walls red and destroyed all the array traps that stored the Yin and cold energy in the stone walls.

With his Guan Dao in hand, Master Yi Hong relentlessly slashed and hacked at the Stone King. With the support of his true Qi, the Stone King's corpse energy could no longer fully protect him, and his iron body gradually succumbed to the attack. His clothes were torn, and wounds were slashed into his body. The true Qi of the Daoist sect clung to the wounds, burning his body and causing him unbearable pain. He circulated the corpse energy within his body, frantically expelling the true Qi of the Daoist sect, which emitted wisps of black smoke.

Master Mingyu summoned eight Heavenly Warriors as his vanguard. The eight Heavenly Warriors were linked by their energy to resist the damage together. Since they were not real people, they were not afraid of the poison. They surrounded Rong Wen in the middle, while Master Mingyu hid behind and used the "Book of Hidden Thunder". One after another, bolts of lightning struck down, and the corpse energy and poison that Rong Wen relied on to protect himself gradually thinned out and were about to be completely consumed.

Gu Zhao and Yun Yang annihilated all the other demons and monsters in the cave, and then looked together at the battlefield.

Stone King blocked Yi Hong Daoist's sword strike and couldn't help but shout angrily, "If my Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and Soul-Fixing Seal were with me, how could you dare to be so presumptuous!"

Gu Zhao blinked, then reached into his robes and pulled out a seal. "The Soul-Stabilizing Seal, is this it?"
