Dark Immortal Cultivation

boom! boom! boom!

With a series of explosions, bursts of blazing flames erupted, instantly knocking the two ferocious wolves to the ground.

They were all hit by several fireballs, their skin torn open, bones broken, and even their internal organs burst out, a truly tragic sight.

One of the wolves died on the spot, and the other collapsed and convulsed, also on the verge of death.

Zhang Qing casually unleashed another burst of blazing fire, finally ending the beast's life.

The entire exchange lasted less than five breaths, and the two ferocious wolves were practically killed instantly.

They had absolutely no ability to resist!

In fact, although this kind of wolf beast is not large in size, its combat power is not weak. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators would have to put in a lot of effort to take it down, and might even need to rely on the power of talismans.

However, under Zhang Qing's masterful "Blazing Fire Technique," they were as weak as little white rabbits!

Zhang Qing, however, felt no joy at the victory; instead, he felt a slight displeasure.

Because the two wolves were severely infected by evil energy, most of their fur was rotten and there were even many abscesses.

So even if you kill it, you can't eat it, and it doesn't have much valuable material.

A complete loss!

Zhang Qing glanced at the corpse on the ground, shook his head, and continued on his way.

At this moment, he could clearly see the overwhelming black fog that enveloped the wilderness not far away.

The surrounding ancient ruins appeared even more eerie, with only crumbling walls covered by vines and broken, collapsed stone pillars as far as the eye could see.

These enormous stone pillars are also a major feature of the ancient ruins.

Many of the stone pillars are over ten feet in diameter, and some are even twenty or thirty feet in size. The exposed surfaces of the pillars are engraved with countless complex ancient seal characters and lifelike patterns of birds, beasts, fish and insects!

Zhang Qing couldn't imagine what kind of glory they had once enjoyed.

But now these stone pillars, which can be called works of art, can only stand quietly among the ruins, accompanied by wild grass and trees, enduring the erosion of the relentless years.

At this moment, Zhang Qing had no time to appreciate the magnificent ancient creations.

He keenly sensed that the temperature of the surrounding space was dropping, and a chilling aura was silently spreading through the ruins.

Such places often signify the presence of evil!

Zhang Qing paused slightly, his internal energy quietly circulating, and his spiritual sense at the third level of Qi Refining silently extended in all directions.

The surrounding chill grew stronger and stronger, even carrying a putrid, deathly smell!

This was completely different from the fishy smell of ordinary ferocious beasts; it was cold and piercing, seeping into the flesh and sending a chill down one's spine.

Something's up!

Zhang Qing made a hand seal, his gaze passing through the intertwined withered vines and crumbling walls, landing on the ruins of a collapsed hall not far away.

The ruins were piled high with rubble, broken beams jutted out from the ground, and all the surrounding vegetation was withered and blackened!

Just as Zhang Qing was considering whether to release the little puppet to investigate this area suspected of having an evil presence,

A faint, dragging friction sound slowly emanated from behind the pile of rocks, like rotting flesh rubbing against the rough ground, sounding slow and eerie!

Zhang Qing's gaze sharpened, and he immediately held his breath, silently moving behind a giant stone pillar.

Using the pillar as a cover, I focused my attention and examined it closely.

The next moment, a strange figure appeared in his sight!

The monster's body was shriveled and withered, its gray, wrinkled flesh clinging tightly to its jagged skeleton. Its bald head drooped askew, and half of its cheek was ulcerated and peeled off, revealing sharp, white teeth.

It was surrounded by thick, fog-like black mist, and its movements were slow and stiff.

Zombies?

It's a ghoul!

Corpse demons also belong to the category of evil spirits. They are mostly cultivators or mortals who died during the invasion of the Black Tide and were assimilated by Yin energy. They have no intelligence and usually roam among the wilderness and ancient ruins, hunting living beings entirely based on instinct.

A few ghouls even enter the camp during high tide, breaking down doors and killing residents before devouring their flesh and blood!

The ghouls have tough bodies, are not afraid of ordinary swords and blades, and have a certain resistance to low-level spells, making them quite difficult to deal with.

Their claws and teeth are sharp and carry corpse poison, and the corpse gas they spew can injure people invisibly.

In addition, there are different levels of ghouls.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would have to give way to high-level corpse demons.

Otherwise, being hit by a mouthful of corpse energy would severely damage one's cultivation!

Of course, the ghoul that Zhang Qing encountered was clearly not that powerful.

At least it didn't pose a very high threat to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing remained calm, but he was already prepared to make his move!

Although he had no experience dealing with corpse demons, he could only judge his enemies based on the records in the "Illustrations of Evil".

This inevitably introduces a large margin of error.

But Zhang Qing's trip into the ancient ruins was both a training exercise and a means to make money.

So even though this ghoul might be very difficult to deal with, his fighting spirit did not diminish in the slightest.

Even more vigorous!

At this moment, the ghoul straightened its hunched body, slowly turned its head, and made a cracking sound as its neck joints rubbed together.

It seemed to sense something, and a dark green glow flickered in its two black eye sockets!

The next moment, Zhang Qing moved suddenly, shooting out from behind the stone pillar like an arrow released from a bow!

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a barrage of blazing fire at the ghoul.

The method was exactly the same as when dealing with the wolf beast, but the number of fireballs fired in quick succession exceeded ten.

Each one has been compressed with magical power and contains intense fiery energy!

puff!puff!puff!

Caught off guard, the ghouls dozens of steps away were bombarded with bursts of blazing fire in the blink of an eye.

The flames instantly engulfed its withered body.

Hiss!

Under the raging flames, the ghoul let out a mournful howl, its body twisting and struggling, and the black aura around it rapidly dissipated.

It suddenly lunged forward and fell to the ground, rolling and thrashing about desperately.

In just a few moments, the flames were extinguished!

The ghoul jumped up again.

Compared to when it first appeared, its appearance is now even uglier and more gruesome. Large amounts of flesh have burst and peeled off, revealing the white skeleton inside, and its body could collapse at any moment.

However, the next moment, a large amount of black gas emerged from the corpse demon's body.

It enveloped my entire body once again.

Its lost zombie flesh is visibly recovering and healing!

At the same time, the ghoul also discovered the culprit who had caused him such painful trauma.

Haa~

It twisted its head and roared at Zhang Qing, its two thin, bony legs bending simultaneously, and then suddenly leaped high into the air.

They barely managed to dodge Zhang Qing's second barrage of fireballs!

Witnessing this astonishing scene, Zhang Qing's expression changed slightly.

But he remained calm and focused his inner energy to condense his magical power, using both hands to intercept the corpse demons that were rushing towards him from the air.

Clusters of blazing fire shot out, drawing bright trails in the air.

This left the corpse demons, who had leaped several meters high, with no way to escape.

puff!puff!puff!

Flames exploded, and the ghoul fell to the ground!
