Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

A thick stench of death permeated the entire underground space; just a small breath would instantly make one feel dizzy and nauseous.

"Run!" The other party was a demonic corpse, and every moment spent here was more dangerous, so Xiao Ming decisively fled back to the ground.

Before going up, Xiao Ming glanced at the figure shrouded in corpse energy and decisively threw out a high-level talisman. The talisman spontaneously combusted without wind, summoning bursts of fire.

The flames stirred up the corpse energy in the underground space, causing the temperature underground to rise slightly. Soon, the demonic corpse rushed out of the ground, stood on the roof, with its back to the moonlight, and looked down at the two people below.

The self-destruction of the Shi family patriarch did not seriously harm him; on the contrary, the dense corpse energy made his aura even stronger.

"Roar~"

The demonic corpse suddenly roared to the sky, and the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations made Xiao Ming's eardrums ache. According to his estimation, after absorbing so much corpse energy, the demonic corpse's strength was probably close to the peak of Qi Refining.

"This is troublesome." Xiao Ming's expression turned serious.

The demonic corpse flickered for a moment, then rushed in front of Xuan Leizi, clearly showing that it was more afraid of lightning magic.

Xuan Leizi's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly summoned the copper coin sword, but it was swatted away by the demonic corpse's claw. Its black fingernail was three inches long and had already touched Xuan Leizi's arm.

At the critical moment, Xuan Leizi made a hand seal and used his magic power to perform a secret technique.

A pillar suddenly grew from the ground, pressing against the demon corpse's abdomen, and continued to grow longer and longer, eventually knocking the demon corpse away.

The sword rang out crisply, and a streak of azure light flashed through the air, piercing the demonic corpse's throat and sending it flying against the wall.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Ming rushed over and helped Xuan Leizi up. With his sharp eyes, he had already noticed that black blood was flowing from Xuan Leizi's right arm, which was undoubtedly due to being poisoned by corpse poison.

"It's alright." Xuan Leizi shook his head, took out a few small bottles from his storage bag, and poured them all onto the wound without thinking twice.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, our Celestial Master Temple is most skilled at dealing with demons and evil spirits, and is also quite adept at curing corpse poison."

"That's good." Xiao Ming recalled his flying sword, his face growing increasingly gloomy as he looked at the demonic corpse. His flying sword had clearly hit its target, yet it hadn't even grazed the creature's skin.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have one more move that, while not necessarily killing it, can at least severely injure this demonic corpse."

"What do you want me to do?" Xiao Ming understood that if this move were so effective, the other party would have used it long ago.

"When I cast my spell, I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Xiao could stall for a while."

"Fellow Daoist has really given me a difficult problem." Xiao Ming sighed, but still stepped forward.

The demonic corpse also moved at this moment, its figure already like a ghost, and it arrived in front of Xiao Ming in the blink of an eye.

The storage bag flashed, and the bronze shield was already in front of him. The black armor and claws of the demon corpse were as hard as refined iron, and they made an extremely piercing sound when they scratched the bronze shield. As the hardest shield magic weapon, it was actually scratched with claw marks.

The demonic corpse kept swinging its claws, leaving claw marks on the bronze shield. Xiao Ming kept retreating, trying his best to maintain the swaying bronze shield.

Finally, the demonic corpse seized its opportunity and punched the bronze shield. The shield's luster dimmed instantly, and it lost control and was sent flying.

"Oh no!" Xiao Ming's expression changed.

The demonic corpse, already possessing a vague intelligence, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Its figure swiftly closed in, and one claw reached for Xiao Ming's heart.

Just as his claws tore through Xiao Ming's clothes, a bronze mirror suddenly flew out from Xiao Ming's chest.

Superior magical artifact, the Divine Light Mirror!

With the infusion of magical power, this long-sealed magical artifact was finally revived. A beam of white light shot out from the mirror, like a rainbow piercing the sun, with tremendous force.

The demonic corpse was almost powerless to resist and was blasted away with such force that it even knocked down the house.

This wasn't the end. Xiao Ming took out three high-level talismans, infused them with magic power, and in the blink of an eye, bursts of fire surged forth. Xiao Ming immediately used his fire control technique to guide the fire waves, forming three firebirds in the air.

"Die!" Xiao Ming roared, and the three firebirds screeched in unison, swooping down together in a triangular formation.

In an instant, flames erupted everywhere, and the entire house was engulfed in flames.

Xiao Ming let out a long breath. After trying all these moves, his mana was greatly depleted. He had to take out a mid-grade spirit stone to absorb spiritual energy. Although his mana was still recovering very slowly, it was better than nothing.

However, just as Xiao Ming was catching his breath, the rubble of the building in the sea of ​​fire suddenly exploded, and a figure engulfed in flames rushed out. It was still extremely fast and arrived in front of Xiao Ming in the blink of an eye.

"Freeze it!" At the critical moment, Xiao Ming summoned the Divine Light Mirror, which hovered above the demonic corpse's head, managing to freeze it in place with great difficulty.

"Xuan Leizi, are you not ready yet?" Xiao Ming called out. Although high-grade magic artifacts are powerful, they also consume a lot of magic power.

As soon as the demonic corpse breaks free of its restraints, it will not hesitate to activate the earth-遁符 (earth-遁符) to run away. Who the hell wants to risk their life here with you?

"Just a little more, please hold on a little longer." Xuan Leizi held his right wrist with his left hand, and a ball of lightning was condensing in his palm.

Just then, a burly man suddenly rushed out and tightly embraced the demon corpse's body with both hands and feet.

"Huo Tai, leave quickly!" Xuan Lei Zi shouted.

"Master, make your move!" Although Huo Tai was not very intelligent, his gaze was extremely resolute at this moment, and he remained unmoved no matter how Xuan Leizi shouted.

As the binding force of the Divine Light Mirror weakened, the demonic corpse regained some mobility. With a single reach, its long claws pierced Huo Tai's chest, sending him flying.

"I want you dead!!" Xuan Leizi roared, his eyes bloodshot, as he threw the lightning bolt from his palm.

The lightning bolt from the palm was extremely fast; it arrived in front of the demonic corpse the moment it left the hand, leaving no time to dodge.

With the explosion of the palm thunder, the demon corpse let out its first scream.

Metal and Fire combine to form Thunder. Thunder magic is a rare spell formed by combining fire, the most powerful element among the five elements, with metal. It can be considered the most powerful spell of its kind.

The demons were already afraid of heavenly lightning, and were completely suppressed by it. This attack almost completely destroyed the foundation of the demon corpse's cultivation.

"Give me back my disciple's life!" Xuan Leizi, his eyes already bloodshot, charged forward, controlling the copper coin sword.

The screaming demonic corpse suddenly stopped struggling and looked at Xuan Leizi who was rushing over. Xiao Ming noticed this look and felt a chill in his heart, a bad premonition.

"Be careful!"

However, it was too late. A black nail suddenly spewed out of the demon's mouth, and with the cover of darkness, it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Xuan Leizi only had time to block the copper coin sword in front of him before a crisp sound rang out and the copper coin sword snapped in two. The black nail continued its trajectory and pierced through Xuan Leizi's abdomen.

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Ming was also enraged. He slashed out with his flying sword, cutting it into several pieces with several sword lights. Not satisfied with this, Xiao Ming used his fire control technique to summon a firebird and threw it out.

He only stopped when he witnessed the flames completely incinerate him into ashes.
