Chapter 440 What level is this?! [Please subscribe]

Lin Hongyu's arrival made all of Zhou Chun's previous persistence meaningful.

After it appeared, it immediately opened its mouth and spat out its natal magic weapon, the Flame Dragon Ring, which it then hurled at the fourth-tier zombie.

By this time, Lin Hongyu's natal magic weapon had been refined and nurtured by her for decades, and its power had increased by several times compared to when it was first refined.

As soon as the crimson ring appeared, it suddenly burst into dazzling flames and then transformed into a fire dragon twenty or thirty feet long, rushing towards the fourth-tier zombie.

Faced with such an offensive, the fourth-tier zombie seemed to sense the threat. It immediately roared and howled, its body surging with corpse energy, transforming into a black demonic tiger to meet the fire dragon.

However, as soon as the Black Tiger clashed with the Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon's body was pierced by the [Flame Dragon Ring] itself, leaving a hole about ten feet in diameter on its massive body.

Immediately, crimson flames enveloped and burned the demonic tiger, and in a short while, the demonic tiger, which was formed purely from corpse energy, was refined into wisps of smoke.

Compared to Zhou Chun's previous predicament, Lin Hongyu was undoubtedly much more composed at this moment.

This is the difference in cultivation level.

Then, after the crimson ring pierced through the demonic tiger, crimson blade light suddenly emerged from the outer edge of the ring, spinning and slashing towards the fourth-tier zombie's main body like a blade.

However, a fourth-tier zombie is still a fourth-tier zombie, and its physical body has long been tempered to be as hard as a magic weapon.

Its sharp claws, with gray-black tips several feet long, slapped at the red ring, sending it flying.

However, the ring, being Lin Hongyu's natal magic weapon, was too closely connected to her mind.

Almost instantly, under Lin Hongyu's urging, it erupted with raging flames once more, continuing to smash fiercely towards the fourth-tier zombie.

This time, the fourth-tier zombie tried to knock away the crimson ring as before, but when it slapped out with its claw, it only managed to shatter a fake object conjured by the power of fire.

The real [Flame Dragon Ring] suddenly appeared on its body, tightly binding and immobilizing its arms and body.

At the same time, towering flames burst forth from the magic weapon, quickly engulfing the fourth-tier zombie in a sea of ​​fire.

It seems that Lin Hongyu intends to use the power of her natal magic weapon to refine this fourth-tier zombie in one fell swoop!

But things are never that simple.

Fourth-tier zombies are, after all, beings of the same level as Golden Core cultivators. Even though they lack magic weapons and their supernatural abilities are far inferior to those of Golden Core cultivators, making them somewhat weaker, they are still not so easy to kill.

Immediately, a roar resounded from within the crimson sea of ​​fire, and thick, ink-like corpse energy surged forth from the fourth-tier zombie corpse, transforming into large swaths of bluish-gray corpse flames to resist the burning of the crimson flames.

At the same time, the fourth-tier zombie also forcefully expanded its arms outwards. Its powerful physical strength actually managed to pry open the magic weapon [Flame Dragon Ring] little by little, completely shaking the magic weapon's restraints with its physical strength!

"You wretched beast, take this beating!"

Lin Hongyu let out a delicate shout, her eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately formed a hand seal. Dense crimson flames condensed in front of her, eventually forming a long cone of flames.

The flaming cone was about two feet long, with fiery runes dancing inside, radiating a powerful aura that made Zhou Chun's heart pound.

Clearly, this is a secret technique that Lin Hongyu cultivated after forming her core, specifically designed to deal with enemies of the same level.

"go!"

A shout rang out from Lin Hongyu's mouth. She raised her palm and pushed forward, and the fiery cone instantly pierced through the air and shot towards the fourth-order zombie that was still struggling to break free of its restraints.

Immediately afterwards, the fiery cone shot out and struck the fourth-tier zombie's chest, unleashing a deafening roar.

After this, the zombie body, which could withstand magical artifacts, was blasted open with a hole the size of a bowl. Through the hole, one could clearly see the dark ribcage and black corpse fluid inside.

If it were a normal person, such a blow would either kill them or severely injure them.

However, the fourth-tier zombie no longer had any fatal wounds, so even if its head were cut off, it wouldn't be killed.

To kill such a powerful monster, you must either completely shatter its zombie body and burn it to ashes, or break its corpse bead.

The Corpse Bead is the source of power for fourth-tier zombies and also the place where their consciousness resides.

Once the Corpse Pearl is shattered or captured and sealed, the physical body of a fourth-tier zombie becomes useless.

However, the Corpse Bead is usually hidden deep inside the chest or skull of a fourth-tier zombie, and breaking it is not easy.

Although Lin Hongyu's attack shattered the chest of the fourth-tier zombie, she was unable to find the Corpse Pearl, indicating that it was not in the chest but in the skull.

The fourth-tier zombie seemed to sense the danger as well. Before Lin Hongyu could launch a second attack, it opened its mouth and spat out a pitch-black orb burning with raging corpse flames.

At first glance, this jet-black bead seems very similar to the one Jiang Zhong had previously controlled, but it is much larger and of a higher quality, so it is obviously not the same one.

The same is true.

Jiang Zhong's corpse bead was merely extracted from other fourth-tier corpses by the Corpse Demon Sect. Although it was also a corpse bead, its quality and supernatural power were completely inferior to those of a fourth-tier zombie, which was formed through the cultivation of the Corpse Demon Path during its lifetime.

That corpse bead was merely a sacrifice used by Jiang Zhong to control it!

Otherwise, even if it were practicing the same technique, it might still attack Jiang Zhong after it emerged.

The fact that it spat out the Corpse Pearl at this moment meant that it was going to fight desperately.

As soon as the corpse bead left the fourth-tier zombie's body, it suddenly transformed into a black flame halo that enveloped the fourth-tier zombie.

Immediately afterward, the fourth-tier zombie pushed off with both arms and, amidst a series of angry roars, forcibly broke free of the [Flame Dragon Ring]'s restraints, causing the magical artifact to wail as it detached from its body and flew back into its master's hand.

Lin Hongyu's face paled slightly as a result, and her breathing became somewhat disordered, as if she had suffered internal injuries.

But she quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic magic power within her body, and then threw the crimson ring in her hand out again. With a quick hand seal, she transformed it back into a fiery dragon and pounced on the fourth-tier zombie.

With the support of the Corpse Pearl, the fourth-tier zombie's strength increased dramatically. It fearlessly leaped forward to meet the Flame Dragon head-on and engaged in a fierce battle.

Then they saw black and red light intertwining in the sky, accompanied by booming sounds. The sheer scale of the explosions completely overshadowed the other battlefields.

Yes, another battlefield!

Although the severely injured Jiang Zhong had been transferred to a certain underground location by the fourth-tier zombie using its own supernatural powers, the armored demonic corpses and two third-tier high-grade refined corpses that Jiang Zhong left behind were still there.

These things were not worth Lin Hongyu's time to deal with, so Zhou Chun and his spirit pets worked together to deal with these demons.

As he wielded the "Golden Rainbow Sword," the heads of the armored demon corpses separated from their bodies and vanished on the spot.

In the end, they were just some second-tier refined corpses. Without the support of battle formation power, how could their physical bodies withstand the sharpness of a third-tier high-grade flying sword!

Meanwhile, Lei Jiao Bai Bai also used a barrage of attacks to blast and obliterate two third-tier high-grade refined corpses.

In this way, only the fourth-tier zombie remains to be dealt with!

Zhou Chun glanced at the fourth-tier zombie fighting Lin Hongyu, his mind racing, and quickly made a decision.

He gave Lei Jiao Bai Bai a series of instructions, and Lei Jiao Bai Bai nodded and flew into the sky.

Then Zhou Chun gave an order to the golden-armored mountain-carrying tortoise stone, and the stone immediately carried him underground.

In the supernatural ability of earth escape, the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone's mastery surpasses that of many Golden Core cultivators who are also proficient in earth escape techniques.

Although the fourth-tier zombie sent Jiang Zhong underground to recuperate, it couldn't escape the detection and tracking of the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone.

After carrying Zhou Chun underground for a while, it arrived at the outside of a cave somewhere underground.

Jiang Zhong, who had previously fled underground, was now recuperating in the cave, with two low-grade third-level refined corpses guarding him outside.

When the golden-armored mountain-carrying tortoise carrying Zhou Chun appeared outside the cave, Jiang Zhong, who was in meditation, seemed to sense something and immediately opened his eyes to look in their direction, his eyes revealing shock and disbelief.

It's hard to believe that Zhou Chun was able to survive the attack of a fourth-tier zombie and find me hiding underground to recover from my injuries.

However, Zhou Chun wouldn't give him much time to react.

Now that he had found his target, Zhou Chun only wanted to finish the job quickly.

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the "Golden Rainbow Sword," which aimed directly at a low-grade, third-tier refined corpse that was protecting Jiang Zhong. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of golden light that blasted towards another refined corpse.

But at this point, he was actually just a supporting player; the real main attacker was still the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Stone.

If the sky and waters are the domain of the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai, then the earth is the stage for the Golden Armor Mountain Tortoise and Stone.

At this moment, underground, the stone's strength was instantly enhanced to an epic level.

With a casual slap of its tortoise paw, the mud and rocks surrounding Jiang Zhong's cave instantly became as hard as diamond, making it impossible for him to use any earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

Immediately afterwards, golden stone spikes emerged from both the top and bottom of the cave, encircling Jiang Zhong.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Jiang Zhong could only hastily summon a talisman, which transformed into a pitch-black demonic cauldron that floated above his head, with dense black light surging from within to protect him.

When the stone spikes touched the black light, they not only failed to break through the black light's protection, but were also quickly corroded and shattered.

However, this scene did not move Zhou Chun or the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone in the slightest.

Because such an attack was merely a probing attack by the stone.

This attempt undoubtedly yielded excellent results.

The fact that Jiang Zhong was forced to use his talisman shows that even if he has other magical artifacts, they must be ordinary and not worth mentioning.

Given its current severely injured state, its once-powerful zombie body is no longer so indestructible.

In light of this, the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone's attack suddenly became much more ferocious.

As soon as the tortoise slapped the ground, the walls of the cave where Jiang Zhong was located began to close inward and squeeze him as if to crush him into mincemeat.

He could only exert all his strength to activate the demonic cauldron talisman to resist the pressure and try to gather power to break through the cave wall and escape.

However, the mud and rocks around the cave had been transformed into gold and stone, with a hardness comparable to third-order spirit metal, so how could it be so easy to break?

After he painstakingly carved out a passage several meters deep, all he saw ahead was still the incredibly hard stone cave wall.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun had already easily beheaded and buried the two low-grade third-tier corpses with the help of the stone.

Then, as if afraid that he might not die, Zhou Chun immediately activated the Zhou family's secret beast-taming technique, "Magic Grafting," and transferred his own magic power to the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone.

In an instant, the stone, which was originally just a low-grade third-tier demon beast, was forcibly upgraded to a mid-grade third-tier beast.

This improvement in magical cultivation has greatly enhanced the power of its magical abilities.

Jiang Zhong also experienced the same feeling of helplessness that Zhou Chun had felt when facing his sudden increase in magical power!

"Sir, let's talk this out. If you're willing to spare my life, I will repay you handsomely!"

When he realized that the power of the Demon Cauldron and Talisman was rapidly diminishing under the continuous attacks, Jiang Zhong, the "Corpse Fiend General," finally changed his expression, put aside his pride, and began to beg Zhou Chun for mercy.

He certainly didn't want to die here.

After all, he is the leading figure of the younger generation of the Corpse Demon Sect, and it is almost a certainty that he will form a golden core in the future.

Compared to one's own life and the path to the Golden Core, face, though important, is not so important.

"Let you go? Do you think that's possible? Your head is worth a Core Formation Spiritual Treasure!"

Zhou Chun looked at Jiang Zhong with a cold smile and said coldly, not surprised by Jiang Zhong's reaction.

The more advanced a cultivator's path is, the more they will want to survive when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

Just like the richer a person is, the more they value their own life!

To Zhou Chun's surprise, after hearing his slightly sarcastic words, Jiang Zhong quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just a Core Formation spirit item? As long as you spare me, I can give you a Core Formation spirit item, and I can also give you the hundreds of thousands of spirit coins I obtained from killing your cultivators!"

"You possess a Core Formation spiritual item?"

Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback, and his gaze toward Jiang Zhong suddenly became strange.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong immediately understood his meaning and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Of course not. Since I have ventured deep into your territory, it is impossible for me to carry such an important item with me, and the sect elders would not allow it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun felt a pang of regret, and his tone turned cold: "If that's the case, why should I believe your words!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong hurriedly said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou may not believe my words, but you should at least believe the oath I made to my inner demons. I will definitely achieve the Golden Core stage in the future and will absolutely not ruin my future. Besides, it's just a mere Core Formation artifact. I wouldn't risk my Golden Core path for something like that!"

"That's hard to say. If I kill you now, I'm guaranteed to get a Core Formation spiritual item. But if I let you go, I might not. If you were in my shoes, what would you choose?"

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, seemingly moved, but more likely with many concerns.

This gave Jiang Zhong even greater hope.

He wasn't afraid of Zhou Chun making demands; he was afraid that Zhou Chun wouldn't be tempted.

At this moment, he quickly said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are mistaken. Although I am a demonic cultivator, I have always kept my word. Since I have made a vow to the demons, I will never break it!"

After saying this, he took off the black gourd from his waist and said, "Moreover, to show my sincerity, I, Jiang, can first pawn this 'Mysterious Yin Corpse Gourd' to Fellow Daoist Zhou. This item is a secret treasure of our sect, and its value is greater than that of ordinary magic treasures. Even if I want to get it back, I will certainly not break my oath!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun retorted without any politeness, "What use would I have for this gourd? Are you perhaps planning to use this demonic artifact to harm me?"

He then looked at him coldly and said, "If you're truly sincere, hand over your storage bag first. I'll see what's inside before deciding whether to trust you!"

Upon hearing this request, Jiang Zhong's expression immediately turned ugly, and anger flashed in his eyes as he said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you think I'm a fool? If I give you the storage bag, and then you turn around and kill me in exchange for the Core Formation spiritual item, where can I complain?"

"See? If you're unwilling to believe Zhou, why should you expect Zhou to believe you?"

Zhou Chun gave a cold laugh, her tone leaving no room for compromise.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong's eyes darkened and he fell silent.

However, while the two were talking, the Golden Armor Mountain Tortoise Stone's attacks did not weaken in the slightest.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhong remained silent for a while, his magic cauldron talisman began to show signs of weakness, as its power was about to be exhausted!

Seeing this, his expression changed and he finally backed down.

He immediately said, "Alright, then I'll compromise. I can first hand over the more than 300,000 spirit coins and several third-tier magic artifacts in my storage bag to Fellow Daoist Zhou as proof of my sincerity. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Zhou?"

"That's more like it. Take the item out and let Zhou take a look."

Zhou Chun nodded in satisfaction and readily agreed.

But Jiang Zhong did not immediately do as he said. Instead, he looked at him and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has agreed, could you please have your spirit pet stop its attack?"

"no problem!"

Zhou Chun responded and immediately stopped the stone's attack.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhong breathed a slight sigh of relief, then reached out and patted the storage bag at his waist, emptying all the spirit coins and magical artifacts in front of Zhou Chun.

The Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone quickly moved those things in front of Zhou Chun.

After that, under Jiang Zhong's tense gaze, Zhou Chun slowly began to count and examine the items.

Time passed slowly, and after about fifteen minutes, Zhou Chun finally put the items into his storage bag. He then nodded to Jiang Zhong and said, "Not bad, it seems Fellow Daoist Jiang is sincere. Then you should swear an oath first!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong was overjoyed and quickly began to swear an oath in front of Zhou Chun.

But just as he solemnly swore his oath, the Golden Armored Mountain Tortoise suddenly lunged forward, spitting out "Golden Magnetic Glow" that slammed into the demonic light shield surrounding him.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also mobilized his remaining mana to activate a third-tier high-grade attack spell talisman and struck the magic light shield.

Then, several "Heavenly Frost Bees" opened their mouths together and exhaled all of their "Heavenly Frost Cold Qi".

Under such a triple attack, the demonic cauldron above Jiang Zhong's head was shattered on the spot, and he himself was frozen solid.

Zhou Chun took this opportunity to have the Golden Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone carry the frozen Jiang Zhong back to a certain place on the ground.

"Hmph, don't you even look at your own situation? You actually want to negotiate with Zhou!"

On the ground, looking at Jiang Zhong, whose eyes were wide open and who was frozen in ice, Zhou Chun couldn't help but snort coldly and sneered with disdain.
