Chapter 160: Corpse Demon

After the fellow cultivator left, I was concentrating on refining my physical body. When I sensed the fluctuation of demonic fire and came out to check the seal on the refined corpse, that person was...Qin Sang carefully examined the wounds on the zombie's body, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case. This zombie was not naturally formed, but obviously a corpse refined by a cultivator with care.

After taking a good look, Qin Sang rose and swept to the back of the stone gate. Turning his gaze, he looked down at the ground.

A complete skeleton lay sprawled on the ground. From the position of the body, it seemed as if the person had been running at full speed before suddenly dying and collapsing. The bones were decayed and covered in dust.

Qin Sang's divine sense swept over, discovering that the corpse had not a single wound. It wasn't crushed by someone's heart pulse, nor was it directly erased by the soul.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

He wanted to see if there was any identifying relic left behind by this person, but unfortunately there was nothing on the skeleton. However, next to the skeleton lay a broken black coffin, with a large hole ripped open by claws on its lid.

This coffin should be a magic artifact used to embalm and reanimate corpses. Whether its spiritual energy dissipated or was destroyed by external force, only a few rotten pieces of wood remain. The reanimated corpse sealed inside has broken free from its bonds and escaped.

In that case, the corpse we encountered earlier must be this person's creation. It's highly probable that this individual is a powerful demonic cultivator who has mastered corpse refinement techniques.

Qin Sang knew little about demon cultivators, mostly hearsay. He had never heard of any disciples from the Xiaohan domain's demon sects who were proficient in corpse refinement and used such coffins to seal the refined corpses.

"I wonder if this person is an intruder or the master of the cave"

Qin Sang frowned slightly, staring at the deep and bottomless stone path. Judging from his corpse refinement, this person's strength in life wouldn't be too high, impossible to have such a magnificent cave dwelling.

The zombies, there were two of them. Qin Sang ventured deeper and deeper, eliminating several zombies along the way. Their strengths varied, some weak, some strong. He also saw a few skeletons, some as intact as the first one he encountered, while others had shattered bones, indicating they died from severe injuries.

The lair of the Demon Sect, you say Since he's so adept at necromancy, why not choose a place thick with yin energy, but instead this desolate cavern teeming with yang-sha energy

Qin Sang pondered silently, the ominous Qi of the Earth Shasts following closely behind. He dared not linger, swiftly dashing deep into the cave, his heart also on high alert, for if there were zombies, a Corpse King might exist as well.

If this were truly the lair of a demon sect, outer disciples at the Qi Refining stage could only refine zombies, while Core Formation stage disciples would have the ability to refine corpse demons.

If you encounter a powerful and formidable corpse demon, that's when things really get dangerous.

What's even more terrifying is the flying night demon. If such a creature exists deep within the cave, none of these people would survive.

Passing through several stone paths in succession, Qin Sang didn't encounter anyone, nor did he see any footprints or markings left behind. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the end of another stone path. Just as Qin Sang was about to enter, his figure suddenly stopped.

Only at the end of the stone path did Qin Sang see a stone hall. This was the first time he had ever seen such a hall on his journey. At the entrance, several stone paths connected to the hall, and behind it were two imposing black iron gates.

The Xuan Iron Heavy Gate was tightly shut. Carved on it was an ancient corpse figure, something Qin Sang had never seen before.

In the picture, this ancient corpse is abnormally tall and possesses the ability to fly. It soars through the clouds and mist, with an ominous aura trailing behind it, yet it differs greatly from the flying night demons. The corpse's face is gaunt, with a pair of fangs several inches long. Its jet-black eyes seem to possess intelligence, radiating a fierce and terrifying presence as demonic flames engulf it.

As Qin Sang's gaze fell upon those eerie eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly averted his eyes, inwardly astonished. What was the origin of this ancient corpse depicted in the picture Even just the image possessed such a menacing aura.

The stone hall was in ruins, with shattered stone chairs, tables, coffin boards, and bones strewn everywhere. Most eye-catching were a dozen zombies wandering through the hall.

As his gaze swept over these corpses, Qin Sang's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he stared intently at the one in the middle.

This reanimated corpse was as hideous as the others, with a grotesque face full of fangs. However, it was much taller and more muscular. A black aura constantly swirled around its body, and its flesh was obviously stronger than other reanimated corpses.

"Ghoul"

Qin Sang's heart sank. His guess was confirmed - there were indeed corpses in the depths of the cave. The bones might very well belong to cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, but they were all broken and mixed together, making it impossible to tell them apart.

“No!”

Then Qin Sang discovered that this corpse was different from the legends. The black qi enveloping it wasn't yin qi, but earth-sha qi!

Qin Sang stared at the corpse in astonishment. Using earth-sha qi to refine a corpse, he had never heard of such a thing before. He wondered what it differed from an ordinary corpse.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang emerged from the entrance of the stone hall.

The Xuan Iron heavy gate was tightly shut, clearly not as easy to open as the previous stone gate. To open the Xuan Iron heavy gate, it would inevitably alarm these corpse refiners. It could only clean up the stone hall first.

The moment Qin Sang appeared, all the corpses in the stone hall were startled. A dozen or so ghastly, grinning corpses suddenly turned around, their black eyes fixed on Qin Sang, creating a bizarre scene.

"Go!"

Qin Sang had already drawn out the Five Elements Breaking Formation Sword and, without waiting for these corpse refinement movements, swiftly thrust the sword forward.

There's no need to go all out against these zombies. Five spirit swords suddenly separated, each drawing upon the power of the five elements and transforming into five sword lights. They weaved through the zombie horde with incredible agility, and one by one, heads rolled to the ground. In the blink of an eye, all the zombies were beheaded by Qin Sang and fell in defeat, leaving only the fierce corpse standing.

'Bang!'

The Corpse suddenly swiped its ghostly claws, striking the spirit sword aimed at it like lightning.

The Spirit Sword trembled slightly, its momentum abruptly stopping.

The sword light and ghostly claws clashed, resulting in a stalemate. The sinister energy on the ghostly claws dissipated by half due to the impact of the sword light. While the sword tip pierced the ghostly claws, it only left a scratch and failed to pierce through completely.

And after Ling Jian retreated, new evil energy surged from Ghost Claw's wound, and the wound closed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was completely restored to its original state.

It can even recover by using the power of Earth Sha Qi, I wonder if there's a limit to this

Qin Sang was about to continue testing the power of the Sha Corpse with his two spirit swords when his eyes suddenly flashed. He calmly activated Tianxing Lei, forming a protective shield around himself.

Then, he no longer held back. The Five-Element Breaking Law Sword moved together, five streams of spiritual energy converged, forming a powerful and unrivaled sword light that stabbed fiercely at the Corpse Demon.

The Sha Corpse reacted with incredible speed, its ghostly claws crossing to block the Five Elements Breaking Law Sword. Countless malicious Qi surged from within its body, swarming towards the Five Elements Breaking Law Sword like bees. A bone-chilling shriek emanated from its throat.

At the same time, Qin Sang drew his blood sword, his figure flashed, and he appeared behind the Corpse Demon. His blade shone like lightning as he struck the Corpse Demon's back with all his might. He instantly left a wound on the Corpse Demon's back.

As expected, murderous aura immediately surged into the wound.

Qin Sang's expression remained unchanged as he skillfully controlled the Five Elements Breaking Sword, relentlessly attacking the Corpse Demon, leaving it no time to react.

Then, knife after knife struck the wound continuously, and soon the evil qi became thinner and thinner. The wound's recovery speed drastically slowed down.high probability that they will launch another attack before the sacred land opens.”Qin Sang frowned slightly, "Will the holy land be affected"Shi Xue nodded and said, "The Holy Land shouldn't be dela...
