Chapter 2230 - 1724: Half-Zombie Body

Third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

This mysterious person's body looked especially disgusting, as if someone had peeled off his skin…

However, most parts of his body had already turned into a strange bluish-purple color. It looked weird, but Qin Fang had just carefully observed that the defense of those areas was shockingly strong.

Because those clearly discolored spots were exactly where he had Cultivated into a Half-Zombie Body… his defense instantly skyrocketed by countless times.

As for those areas that looked extremely disgusting, they were still relatively fragile; those were still parts of a human body!

It was just that such spots were already very rare, only a few scattered patches, and none of them were in critical locations… even if those places were wounded, it wouldn't cause much harm to this mysterious person's body.

"This has really become troublesome now…"

Staring at this mysterious person, Qin Fang, who had been hiding and not making a move, also felt a bit stumped.

A Half-Zombie Body was already very close to the Heavenly Corpse Body that was almost immune to swords and guns; its defense was terrifying to the extreme, even more frightening than Song Qingshan's Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover Cultivated to its highest Realm.

Because even when Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover was Cultivated to the highest level, weaknesses still existed. As long as you found that weak point, you could exploit it to break through the Golden Bell Shield's defense.

But the Heavenly Corpse Body practically had no flaws at all… whether a bomb could blow it to death, Qin Fang wasn't sure, but at the very least, ordinary Treasured Swords could hardly leave a mark, and even Divine Weapons like Qianyu Divine Sword or Flowing Shadow Divine Sword could only leave some faint traces.

Moreover, anyone who successfully Cultivated the Heavenly Corpse Body was almost always a Supreme Realm expert, whose strength was already terrifying in itself. Even without relying on the Heavenly Corpse Body, they would still be incredibly powerful experts, absolutely not the type to stand there and wait for death.

The mysterious person in front of him had naturally not yet Cultivated a Heavenly Corpse Body, but he was only half a step away from completing the slightly weaker Half-Zombie Body. That was just as terrifying, several grades stronger than Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover of the same level.

Song Qingshan could now withstand Heavy Strikes from Grandmaster Peak Strongmen, so this mysterious person who had completed the Half-Zombie Body probably wouldn't fear Great Grandmaster Level Experts in the slightest… if his own strength stepped into the Great Grandmaster Level, he would definitely be an almost invincible existence beneath the Supreme Realm.

"Get lost!!!"

While Qin Fang was pondering, the battle over there also underwent a huge change.

With a furious roar from the mysterious person, the corpse energy around his body suddenly became incomparably active, even faintly showing signs of leaving his body and being released outward… but this corpse energy naturally could not separate completely from the mysterious person. Only a very small portion of it was wrapped into his palm wind and blasted straight at Lin Qian and the other three who were besieging him.

Puff puff puff puff~~~~~

This palm was incredibly terrifying, its Palm Energy incomparably vast. As the palm wind swept past, it carried a violent sound of wind and thunder that made people's faces change just from hearing it… then they saw four figures sent flying back with no suspense at all, and the encirclement around the mysterious person was completely broken.

"Such powerful Palm Energy…"

Seeing this situation, Qin Fang couldn't help clenching his fist, muttering in his heart with considerable apprehension.

Palm wind wrapped in corpse energy was just like Xu Jiao's Sword Qi imbued with Sword Intent; its Attack Power and lethality instantly increased several times over… it was only because not much corpse energy could separate, otherwise the consequences would have been even more severe.

If anything had gone slightly wrong, Xu Jiao, Lin Qian and the others might have died under this one palm.

Qin Fang had even almost rushed out to help… but in the end he forcefully held back, because he saw Song Qingshan stand at the very front, taking the fiercest part of the attack. Sure enough, it made him spray out a large mouthful of blood, but he still managed to save the others.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fang also couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief…

Song Qingshan's injuries were serious, and he had almost lost his combat strength, but his life wasn't in danger. His life force was still quite strong… he only needed to rest for a period of time, and he would naturally recover.

The injuries of the other three were much lighter. Although they were also struck by the mysterious person's palm wind, they were only brushed by it, merely causing the True Qi in their bodies to churn. After adjusting their breathing for a short while, they could recover, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Hmph…"

Seeing that his single palm had achieved its effect, the mysterious person didn't hurry to wipe them all out, but instead walked toward Tang Cheng, whose Cultivation had just stabilized at the final stage… He had come precisely for Tang Cheng, how could he forget his original purpose?

With a soft snort, he ignored Xu Jiao, Lin Qian and the others, and walked toward Tang Cheng with a cold smile on his face. In those eyes where the whites outnumbered the blacks, a hint of excitement flashed… fortunately only Qin Fang saw this. If it had been any ordinary person, they would probably have already screamed "Ghost!" and then either fainted on the spot or fled for their life!

The mysterious person walked toward Tang Cheng step by step, the corpse energy on his body gradually calming down, but he lifted one palm. At this moment, in that strange bluish-purple palm, a faint cluster of bizarre blood energy was condensing.

This was the change produced after Cultivating that mysterious strange skill of Tang Cheng's… a small Whirlpool formed in the center of his palm, able to rapidly absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Of course, when absorbing other True Qi of the same root and source, the effect was even better. For example, the current situation… this mysterious person was slapping down on Tang Cheng's Baihui Acupoint with one palm, clearly intending to plunder everything.

Once the True Qi in Tang Cheng's body completely disappeared, Tang Cheng would probably die along with it… People from the Corpse Demon Sect rarely appeared in the world, but every expert that did appear was a top-tier expert, cold and indifferent by nature, utterly unconcerned with Slaughter.

Sss~~~

But right at that moment, just as the mysterious man's palm was about to land on Tang Cheng's Baihui Acupoint, an incomparably sharp Sword Qi suddenly blasted out from the bamboo forest only a stone's throw away. Its speed was pushed to the absolute limit, to the point that even a Grandmaster Peak Strongman like the mysterious man couldn't help but have his expression change.

His feet suddenly moved at extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye he had shifted through at least over twenty positions, only then barely dodging this sword Qin Fang had shot out… It could be seen that his Light Body Technique was also quite formidable.

"You finally willing to come out? Then I won't be polite anymore…"

The mysterious man seemed to have long anticipated that someone would be secretly watching from the side, and had been waiting in advance for Qin Fang to show himself…

As he spoke, the mysterious man's aura seemed to swell once again, his momentum directly reaching Great Grandmaster Level. Even Qin Fang couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly under this pressure… it was simply too powerful, too overwhelming.

Perhaps the reason he hadn't gone for the kill on Lin Qian, Xu Jiao and the others just now was precisely because he knew Qin Fang was hiding nearby.

"Die for me…"

The mysterious man didn't hesitate in the slightest. Seeing Qin Fang make a move, he also struck with hatred. As his Palm Energy surged, it dragged out quite a bit of corpse aura from his body surface, instantly boosting the power of this strike by a great deal.

"In your dreams!"

The mysterious man's offensive was extremely fierce, but Qin Fang's evasion was just as strong. With a light movement of his feet, he slipped out of the mysterious man's attack circle… He even found a gap to counterattack once.

"Hiss~~~ what a hard hide!"

Qin Fang knew that a Half-Zombie Body was already extremely terrifying, but he hadn't expected that even someone like him, comparable to a Grandmaster Peak Strongman, without using the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword or Sword Intent, his ferocious attack couldn't even scrape a bit of the other party's skin.

"Snow Traversing Step… you're a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect?"

The mysterious man stared at Qin Fang in surprise, unable to hold back a questioning remark.

It had to be said, this mysterious man was anything but simple. Being able to recognize the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover, the Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique, as well as Fusang Sword Technique and so on was already proof of his sharp eye; yet he'd even recognized the Snow Mountain Sect's sect-guarding Traceless Snow Stepping Technique.

"Who are you in the Corpse Demon Sect?"

Qin Fang didn't give an answer, instead asked back.

"You know far too much…"

He hadn't expected that as soon as Qin Fang said this, the other side would immediately turn hostile. A chilly light flashed in his eyes, and the killing intent hidden within became incomparably dense. Clearly he'd already made up his mind.

"So what?"

Qin Fang let out a cold laugh and replied indifferently.

"I not only know you're from the Corpse Demon Sect, I also know you've cultivated the Corpse Demon Sect's non-transmittable Heavenly Corpse Secret Technique… Judging from your appearance, this Heavenly Corpse Secret Technique is already almost fully mastered. That shows your status in the Corpse Demon Sect is anything but ordinary!"

Right after, Qin Fang spoke lazily, probing for the other party's true identity.

"Hmph… just keep guessing slowly!"

Unfortunately, the other party saw through Qin Fang's intentions and had no interest in mentioning those matters again. With a single sentence, he completely shut Qin Fang down!

"Hmph~~~"

The mysterious man snorted coldly, slanting a glance at Qin Fang. The killing intent in his eyes grew even thicker; this was someone who had truly moved to kill. "Since you know all this, then today, no matter what, I won't let you leave here alive…"

"Come again, as if I'd be scared of you!"

Qin Fang retorted without the slightest show of weakness, and at the same time gripped the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, his other hand forming a sword seal. He had clearly made up his mind to fight this mysterious man to the bitter end.

"Don't think that just because your hide is hard, I've got no way to deal with you…"

Looking at that Half-Zombie Body that was almost fully formed, a trace of gloom flashed across Qin Fang's face… However, he wasn't particularly pessimistic. After silently running through his plans, he quickly had a countermeasure in mind.

"Fight!"

Without any more needless talk, Qin Fang and the mysterious man both let out a low shout and rushed forward, starting their battle roughly three to four meters away from Tang Cheng… (To be continued.
