Evil Old Demon

Long Chen sent this blade slash straight towards that person, but the person let out a cold snort, and his black hands, which looked like withered firewood, reached out to grab Long Chen's long blade.

"Clang!"

The long blade struck the person's hand, unexpectedly emitting the sound of metal clashing; the single-edged blade in Long Chen's hand shook, a great force transmitted through it, and he was sent flying backwards.

"Hmph, you are still far from being able to play these kinds of tricks."

The person suddenly moved, disappearing like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived in the distance, blocking the cave entrance.

"So fast!"

Long Chen was greatly shocked; the moment he saw this eerie person, he felt something was wrong, and from his body, Long Chen felt a chill in his bones, giving him a sense of fatal threat.

Originally, he had wanted to use the old man's strength to fly backwards to accelerate his escape, but unfortunately, it had been seen through.

"Although this corpse is too weak, with the driving force of my Soul, it is not something a little rookie like you can bully."

"Kid, I will give you two paths now: either die, or submit." The person said coldly.

Long Chen looked at the corpse before him, his heart pounding; inside this corpse, there was actually hidden the Soul of an old monster—wasn't this just screwing him over?

Which bastard dug this pit so deep that there wasn't even a chance to run away.

"If you want me, Long Chen, to submit, it depends on whether you have the ability."

Long Chen let out a cold snort; since he couldn't escape, he could only face it. His Fengfu Star operated at full power, the divine ring appeared within his Dantian, and a terrifying Aura began to rise.

"Oh? Interesting."

The person seemed slightly surprised by Long Chen's Aura, but there was no sense of shock, as if everything was within his grasp.

"Departing Wind Slash!"

Long Chen shouted loudly, and a blade glow cut through the space, slashing directly at the person.

The person's hands, which looked like chicken claws, clenched into a fist, and he punched directly against Long Chen's blade glow.

What shocked Long Chen was that this Earth Rank Cultivation Technique of his was easily broken by that person, not causing even a trace of damage to him.

"Wind-Breaking Fist!"

Long Chen let out a loud shout, like a thunderclap on flat ground; light appeared on his fist as he smashed it towards that person.

The heavy iron spear Long Chen had used previously had been shattered while competing for the Mysterious Spirit Fruit, and without a heavy weapon, his Cultivation Technique could not exert its proper power; without a handy weapon, it was better to use his fists.

"Boom!"

Long Chen smashed his fist onto that person's withered arm, emitting an explosive sound. That punch could easily shatter rock, yet it failed to break that arm, and at the same time, Long Chen was shaken back several steps by his own power, his arm feeling numb.

"Such a hard Physical Body."

Long Chen was shocked in his heart; he didn't expect this corpse to be so powerful. If he were still alive, he would definitely be a terrifying expert.

"Little doll, still not convinced? Hmph, then I will let you see how insignificant you are in front of me."

The person let out a cold snort, his body suddenly moved, and a pair of pitch-black hands had already slapped towards Long Chen's face; the speed was so fast that it arrived almost instantly.

Long Chen hurriedly threw out a punch to block in front of him. Although he blocked it, his body shook and he was forced back a yard.

"A very good Physical Body, interesting."

As the person spoke, his pair of withered claws, like a wind wheel, grabbed at Long Chen, the speed like a rainstorm.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The speed was so fast that Long Chen couldn't see clearly at all; he could only rely on intuition to block frantically, while his heart was greatly alarmed.

What level of expert was this old ghost? Clearly, only his Soul remained, yet relying solely on a corpse, he could exert such terrifying power.

Long Chen could sense that the person was relying entirely on Soul power to control this corpse, but even so, it still forced Long Chen into a flustered state.

Moreover, for some reason, no matter how hard Long Chen attacked, he couldn't break the corpse, which made Long Chen extremely angry.

Although he knew the core-level assessment was extremely difficult, he believed it wouldn't be difficult to this extent.

Compared to this old monster in front of him, he had absolutely no chance; even if he attacked with all his might, there was no hope. Something must have gone wrong somewhere.

However, what was fortunate was that the old monster didn't want to kill him; he held back in his attacks and tried to avoid vital points.

"Bang!"

Long Chen was kicked by a large foot that felt like wood, flying straight into the wall behind before stopping.

"Hehe, kid, not bad. I have decided to take you as my Master. Why don't you come over and kowtow to acknowledge me as your Master?"

The person walked slowly towards Long Chen, his dead face facing Long Chen, appearing even more eerie and terrifying.

"Do you really think you are qualified to be my Master, Long Chen?" Long Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.

Just now, during that storm-like attack, Long Chen's body had been bruised in many places. That corpse was simply too perverted; its toughness was greater than any weapon Long Chen had ever seen.

"Bastard! Who is this Guisha? Three thousand years ago, I roamed freely, making countless people tremble with fear. Me fancying you is your fortune!" Guisha said angrily.

"So, you are very impressive?" Long Chen asked.

"Of course, extremely impressive." Guisha said very conceitedly.

"Then how did you end up in this state, neither human nor ghost?" Long Chen sneered.

"You know nothing! At that time, three Channel Opening Realm experts besieged me, and I was already injured. Otherwise, how could I have ended up in this state?"

Guisha gnashed his teeth, his voice filled with cruelty and unwillingness, and a terrifying Killing Intent spread throughout the hall.

The terrifying Killing Intent seemed to have formed into substance, making people feel fear. Long Chen couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed; this old monster must have killed countless people in his life to gather such terrifying Killing Intent.

"Kid, don't talk nonsense with me. I see that your Aptitude is not bad, and your Physical Body is even more perfect. If you learn my Corpse Demon Body Refining Technique, I guarantee you will become a supreme expert within three years." Guisha said.

Long Chen didn't answer, falling into deep thought.

"Kid, don't try to play any tricks. I have experienced over three thousand years of life and death; any conspiracy or trick is useless.

Now you only have two paths before you: first, die; second, become my disciple and take me out." Guisha said coldly.

"How do I take you out?" Long Chen asked.

"I can hide my Soul in your Dantian. You carry the head of this corpse, and when you go out, you can exchange it for a Nameplate.

Later, find a suitable opportunity to escape from the Xuantian Branch, and I will take you back to my Sect. Hmph, there you will receive training a hundred times better than here…"

Long Chen let out a cold laugh in his heart. Sure enough, an old ghost, just saying things to deceive ghosts. Can a Soul be stored in a Dantian? Do you think I'm an idiot?

You want me to give up resistance so your Soul can invade my body and swallow my Soul. This isn't taking you out, this is clearly Possession.

According to this old ghost's powerful Soul power, he could have easily performed Possession on a Blood Condensation Realm rookie like Long Chen.

However, the corpse he was in seemed to be surrounded by some kind of magical power, locking his Soul tightly inside the corpse, unable to release it.

"How about it? Have you considered it? Do you want to die? Or do you want to inherit my mantle, learn my technique, and go enjoy endless power and beauties?" Guisha said coldly. Although he tried his best to remain calm, Long Chen's powerful Soul power could hear a trace of excitement in his voice.

"Acknowledging you as Master is no problem, and taking you out is also no problem. However, I, Long Chen, am considered a generation of Genius; I need to know if you are truly qualified to be my Master." Long Chen looked at Guisha and said.

"What do you mean?"

"Very simple, teach me something that can convince me. If you can't satisfy me, hehe, I, Long Chen, have a naturally proud bone; I would rather die than submit." Long Chen said proudly.

"Hehehe, good, you have personality. Then I will show you something."

Guisha sat down slowly and said to Long Chen: "Your body is very good, and your Physical Body strength is almost comparable to a Tier 3 Demonic Beast, but you don't have any decent Cultivation Techniques.

Now I will pass on a good Cultivation Technique to you, called the Slaughter Blood Hand. Its combat power is boundless, and it can allow you to challenge those of higher ranks."

"How do I practice it?" Long Chen asked hurriedly; he was actually very interested in learning.

"The Slaughter Blood Hand is very simple to Cultivate. Every day, use a person's heart blood to dye your palms, let the blood energy condense in the palm. When striking, circulate the blood energy, and use the power of the mind to shatter the enemy's heart from a distance."

Hearing this, Long Chen felt a chill in his heart. Practice with others' heart blood every day? Doesn't this mean killing people every day?

Moreover, listening to Guisha's tone, it was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"One hundred people a day, and within one hundred days, you can achieve Minor Achievement. If you want Major Achievement, it will take more than a thousand days. At that time, one slap can shatter the heart of someone with a higher cultivation than you from a distance if they are unprepared. I will pass the mantra to you now…"

"Wait, I am a righteous person. How can I practice such an evil Cultivation Technique?" Long Chen said angrily.

"Fart! Since you want to acknowledge me as your Master, of course, you must learn these from me." Guisha snorted coldly.

"That is absolutely impossible. Teach me something else." Long Chen shook his head.

Guisha couldn't help but be furious. He was an Elder of the Evil Path, and he had practiced a lifetime of evil arts. Asking him to teach something else was an insult to him.

He wanted to slap Long Chen to death, but thinking that he needed to rely on Long Chen to take him out, he had to perform Possession on this body. However, without Long Chen's cooperation, he couldn't leave this corpse.

Guisha suppressed his temper and mentioned two other Cultivation Techniques, but Long Chen still shook his head. Asking him to go rape women to practice? He couldn't do that even more.

"Kid, don't go too far." Guisha was on the verge of exploding, he said angrily.

"Did you make a mistake? You just said how impressive you were; could it be that after saying this much, you've run out of tricks?" Long Chen said disdainfully.

"You…"

Guisha was so angry his lungs were about to explode. According to his usual temper, he would have already pulled Long Chen's tendons and peeled his skin, but he couldn't now. If he lost this opportunity, he was afraid he would never have such a good chance again.

"Fine, I will now pass you a set of footwork, called the Nether Ghost Shadow Step. It is my secret technique that is not passed on, but the content is profound. If you can't learn it in a short time, don't blame me." Guisha gritted his teeth and recited the mantra of the Nether Ghost Shadow Step.

Long Chen memorized it with his heart, a dazed look appearing on his face, as if it was very difficult to memorize, but in his heart, he was already about to scream with excitement.
