Evil Immortal!

Master Jin Yu glanced at them but didn't pay them any mind. They were just a bunch of ordinary evil spirits, and he could wipe them all out with a flick of his wrist.

Just as he was about to unleash a burst of true fire to annihilate these evil corpses, he saw a young man in the distance excitedly raising his sword and charging towards the group of evil corpses.

He simply withdrew his magic and didn't bother to do anything more.

"The Blood-Eyed Ancestor has finally done something decent!"

Meng Yuan took the initiative and began a fierce battle among the horde of corpses.

With Blood-Eyed Ancestor and Wu Xingkong gone, these weak corpse monsters became walking experience points in his eyes, and he naturally took the opportunity to harvest them.

His strength has increased greatly, and although these corpse monsters seem dangerous, without the control of the Blood-Eyed Ancestor, they only instinctively pounce and bite, and their speed is slow. To him, they are just moving targets and pose little threat.

Meng Yuan killed these ordinary evil corpses one by one with a single slash, as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

The front panel keeps displaying prompts:

[You have killed the evil corpse, experience +15!]

[You have killed the evil corpse, experience +13!]

[You have killed the evil corpse, experience +16!]

You have killed the evil corpse...

......

Master Jin Yu glanced at Meng Yuan, saw that he was just a martial artist and seemed to know Gu Zhengyang and the others, so he ignored him.

After chatting with Gu Zhengyang and the other two for a while, he transformed into a golden streak of light and departed.

Gu Zhengyang, Du Caidie, and the withered monk walked towards Meng Yuan.

At this moment, Meng Yuan had almost completely killed off the surrounding evil corpses, leaving only other evil corpses scattered in the distance.

But at that moment, an unremarkable-looking middle-aged evil corpse appeared in Meng Yuan's line of sight.

Unlike the other evil corpses, this one had a strange look in its eyes. Compared to the murky and ferocious eyes of the other evil corpses, this one's eyes clearly carried a touch of anthropomorphic calmness. It glanced at him and then took the opportunity to run towards the Yinliu River.

It doesn't look like a demonic corpse; it looks more like a living person!

[An evil corpse? ? ?]

template:???

Order: Second order

Introduction: A seemingly ordinary evil corpse, but you, with your keen senses, have noticed something amiss. Perhaps you should be careful.

Danger level: Extremely high!

......

"A second-tier evil corpse... Could this evil corpse be another of Blood-Eyed Ancestor's hidden trump cards?"

Meng Yuan's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he raised his long sword and slashed.

The longsword drew a bright, white streak, tearing through the air with swift and sharp light.

Just as the blow was about to land, the evil corpse seemed to have a premonition and turned to the side, managing to dodge Meng Yuan's attack.

"There was definitely something wrong!"

Meng Yuan swung his sword several times in quick succession, each strike aimed at the evil corpse's neck, back, and other vital points.

Unless one is a martial artist who practices body tempering techniques, even the likes of Wu Xingkong and Gu Zhengyang would never dare to withstand Meng Yuan's attack with their bare hands. The evil corpse was no exception. It had no choice but to turn around, raise its hand and grab Meng Yuan's long sword. Its palm was cut open, and thick, blackish-red corpse blood flowed out.

Above their heads, a red damage number, "-17!", popped up.

After inflicting damage, Meng Yuan obtained further detailed information about the opponent, especially its health, which was over three thousand! The damage he caused could only be considered a minor scratch on the evil corpse.

Even the template for the evil corpse has been changed to "Nightmare Level (Crimson)".

"Damn, it's actually a Nightmare-level BOSS! Blood-Eyed Ancestor truly lives up to his reputation as a sixth-tier monster; he actually managed to deceive Golden Feather True Person twice..."

Meng Yuan finally confirmed that the evil corpse before him was a contingency plan left behind by the Blood-Eyed Ancestor.

At this moment, Gu Zhengyang also arrived. Seeing this scene, he also sensed that something was wrong. He moved and appeared behind the evil corpse in an instant.

He raised his hand and delivered a palm strike.

Bang!

As flesh and blood flew everywhere and bone fragments shot out, the evil corpse's chest exploded with a bloody hole the size of a large bowl, completely exposed from front to back.

With lightning speed and decisive action, Meng Yuan channeled his inner energy into his longsword and slashed down. The longsword emitted a "whooshing" sound like a ghost's wail, and he managed to split the evil corpse in two from head to toe.

The evil corpse displayed a black and red critical hit damage value of "-1320" above its head, and then crashed to the ground.

However, Meng Yuan clearly saw that the two pieces of evil corpses on the ground had a trace of scarlet color in their eyes, and they glanced coldly at him and Gu Zhengyang before disappearing.

Ding!

[You have killed a Tier 2 Evil Corpse (Nightmare), experience +1550!]

Finally, he successfully stole the monster... Meng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed with delight, "As expected of a Nightmare-level monster, its experience is five times that of a regular Tier 2 monster!"

As for the abnormality exhibited by the evil corpse after it was killed, namely the scarlet color in its eyes, he suspected that it was mostly a wisp of the Blood-Eyed Ancestor's spirit hiding inside the evil corpse. Seeing that it could not escape, it simply dispersed on its own.

However, the final fatal blow was delivered by Meng Yuan, so the experience reward naturally fell to him.

Combining the experience gained from killing the other evil corpses, he gained about 2000 more experience points on his panel. Adding the experience he had left over, he now has a total of 2620 experience points. If he can accumulate a few more, he can upgrade his "Yin Wind Demon Slayer Blade" again.

Gu Zhengyang didn't pay any attention to Meng Yuan's "monster stealing." Based on Meng Yuan's previous behavior, he simply assumed that Meng Yuan was eager to kill the evil spirits. Looking at the evil corpse on the ground, he said:

"I didn't expect that the Blood-Eyed Ancestor had a backup plan. Fortunately, Brother Meng, you reacted in time and stopped him, otherwise it might have caused some trouble later!"

"You flatter me, sir. If it weren't for your intervention, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stop this demon!"

Having secured the benefits, Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't hesitate to say a few kind words.

Gu Zhengyang remained noncommittal, looking at Meng Yuan and noticing that his aura had become significantly stronger. He was initially amazed, then smiled and said, "Your talent is truly remarkable. You were able to advance to the Innate Martial Master realm in battle, which shows that you are indeed a person of extraordinary talent."

"However, the Black Pig Gluttony Technique is only a foundational martial art, and can only be cultivated to the minor completion of the Innate Martial Master level. Next, you will need to obtain more advanced martial arts manuals."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that. The Demon Suppression Division's library contains cultivation techniques and books from various cultivation systems. As long as you join the Demon Suppression Division, you will be qualified to select cultivation techniques from the library."

As he spoke, he handed a jade token to Meng Yuan, saying, "This jade token is my personal possession. Consider it a certificate. With this token, you can go to the Demon Suppression Division branch in Linjiang Prefecture to undergo the assessment. Someone will be there to receive you."

"Thank you, sir!"

Meng Yuan accepted it with both hands and said gratefully.

Du Caidie and the withered monk had finished clearing away the other evil corpses around them and joined Gu Zhengyang. Gu Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. With your talent, you can join the Demon Suppression Division sooner or later even without my help. Besides, I have my own selfish reasons for helping you. After you join the Demon Suppression Division, you can come to me. There are some things I might need your help with."

"They've recognized my talent, so they're trying to recruit me ahead of time..." Meng Yuan's heart stirred slightly; understanding their meaning, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Serving you, sir, is my duty!"

When it comes to your boss, loyalty is all you need!
