第二百零五章 吞食金丹

The two men's eyes were filled with shock as the zombie let out a low growl. Suddenly, blackish-red flames erupted from its body.

These flames were incredibly strange; they crackled and sizzled on the ice blocks, gradually showing signs of melting.

Zhang Yi's mouth widened further. The flames seemed somewhat familiar, resembling the pure yang dan fire of a condensation core cultivator. However, it appeared tainted with an added evil aura, yet its power seemed even greater, capable of melting his northern ice.

This wasn't just any ordinary zombie king!

Could it be a mutated monster?

With this thought, Zhang Yi had a hint of retreating in his eyes. But at that moment, the zombie let out a deafening roar from its mouth.

Visible sound waves coalesced into two silver nets, each aimed at Zhang Yi and Chen Feng.

"Bad!" Zhang Yi was alarmed and quickly summoned the green葫芦. A spell was cast, and suddenly, a fierce wind arose. The wind whirled, sending countless wind blades towards the silver net.

Chen Feng, weaker in strength, did not dare to be complacent either. Her jade face turned solemn as she waved her hands, forming another red silk ball around herself.

A burst of sound echoed...

The silver net was shattered by the wind blades. Zhang Yi sighed with relief but suddenly turned around, his expression extremely unpleasant.

"Junior Sister!"

His eyes were wide with rage as he saw that the zombie had broken through the ice and was like a ghost, lunging towards Chen Feng.

The protective shield formed by the red silk treasure could block the silver net, but under the zombie's sharp claws, it emitted a mournful cry and split in two.

Seeing the monster approaching, Chen Feng's fair face turned pale. She couldn't dodge in time and only managed to shift her body slightly to the side.

She avoided being disemboweled but was left with a painful sensation as the zombie's claw pierced her collarbone, causing her face to turn pale in pain.

The zombie, after its first successful strike, revealed a sneer on its ugly face. It was about to deliver another fatal blow when it suddenly moved aside with a swift motion.

The Cold Scale Sword flew before his eyes, its light far more dazzling than before, emitting shocking essence energy. Zhang Yi, enraged and alarmed by the injury to his comrade, had activated some secret technique to boost his power.

He was now enveloped in a blue glow that made him unapproachable.

Despite temporarily avoiding the zombie's attack, it showed no fear on its face. It retracted Chen Feng’s red silk treasure with one claw.

"Junior Sister, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine!"

Drops of sweat dripped from Chen Feng's forehead as she winced in pain. However, she was extremely relieved to have survived.

"You rest over there while I take care of this."

Zhang Yi had initially intended to retreat and not fight the zombie to the death. But his comrade had been injured...

Revenge must be taken with blood for blood. Men couldn't avenge women's injuries.

However, after witnessing the monster’s various powers, he no longer treated it as an ordinary zombie king. He looked at it coldly and said, "Since you've cultivated for a thousand years, should understand my language. Did you kill Junior Brother Lu? Why can you use his treasure, the Jade Blade?"

The zombie tilted its head and indeed laughed, its voice strange like metal clashing, making an indelible yet uncomfortable impression.

"You mean that white-robed cultivator who entered my lair two days ago? Haha, he was quite tasty..."

"What! You killed Junior Brother Lu and devoured his golden core?" the old man clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The zombie ignored him and instead greedily looked at Zhang Yi and Chen Feng. "You both have golden cores too. Offer them to me; after eating, my cultivation will increase."

With a gesture towards its head, the Jade Blade transformed into a green glow and fiercely slashed down on Zhang Yi.

"Monster, dare!" The old man laughed in anger: "Don't you fear your tongue might get caught by the wind? You want to devour my golden core!"

Zhang Yi also activated the Cold Scale Sword, fighting with the green light.

No wonder this monster could control Junior Brother Lu's treasure. After devouring a cultivator’s golden core, it naturally sensed the imprint on its own命宝, avoiding rejection.

However, a thousand-year-old zombie should have intelligence but no one had heard of it cultivating!

Earlier in the nest, he absorbed the essence from many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, clearly practicing some dark magic.

Despite his usual confidence in his strength, Zhang Yi was still somewhat uneasy about this monster's unique behavior.

Quick resolution; dragging out the fight might lead to unforeseen consequences.

A faint incantation emerged from his mouth as the blue glow became even more dazzling. He circled his hands and formed a ball before suddenly shouting, "Seize!"

With a sharp sound, the Cold Scale Sword broke free of the Jade Blade's entanglement and returned to the old man’s body. Lin Xuan, hiding in the shadows, was puzzled by Zhang Yi's actions. In the midst of battle, he didn't retrieve new treasures but instead retracted his most powerful命宝. What could be his intention?

Zhang Yi's expression turned painful as sweat dripped from his forehead. His body trembled more violently.

Was he suddenly ill?

Lin Xuan dismissed this thought immediately; even if a cultivator were to have an unseen injury, his condensation core cultivation would allow him to suppress it temporarily.

Moreover, despite appearing in pain, the essence energy around him did not weaken but grew stronger...

The scene was incredibly strange!
