Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to support such a large Shangguan Family.

Right now in that Zombie City, Shangguan Ming did not know what he had encountered, actually letting out such a miserable and shrill scream.

You must know that Shangguan Ming followed the Town Demon Guard to this underground space, and he came while bringing their Shangguan Family's town-founding treasure, the true spirit artifact fire ghost gourd.

Although this fire ghost gourd was not ranked in the chaos myriad spirits ranking, its power was still very close to the treasures at the lower end of the chaos myriad spirits ranking.

Even so, this Shangguan Ming still encountered an opponent capable of seriously injuring or even slaying him; this situation could not help but raise a trace of solemnity in Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing's heart.

After just a moment's effort, a patch of fire cloud and a cyan cauldron were seen rushing out of the Zombie City at top speed.

Then two figures instantly appeared before Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing's eyes.

The two people were precisely Qingdan Sect's Sect Master Li Changtian and the missing-an-arm Shangguan Ming.

As for the Martial Artists of the two factions brought into the Zombie City by the two of them, not a single one came out.

The moment the two escaped from the Zombie City, a crowned, Python-Robed Zombie also abruptly chased out from the Zombie City.

The Aura emitted from this zombie's body was completely different from those zombie soldiers.

One could see that from this Python-Robed Zombie's body, strands of pitch-black evil Qi were continuously emanating.

Its eyes were blood-red, one hand supporting a pitch-black seal, and the other holding a long saber wreathed in black Qi.

Drops of bright red blood were constantly dripping down from that pitch-black long saber at this moment.

Waves of terrifying Aura continuously radiated outwards, causing even Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing to involuntarily feel a wave of shock in his heart.

"You two idiots, what kind of ghost thing have you provoked!"

At this moment, Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing could not help but angrily curse at Shangguan Ming and Sect Master Li Changtian.

Meanwhile, Sun Xuan, who was currently polishing his self-created Martial Skill, sensed a familiar Aura from this Python-Robed Zombie's body.

It was precisely that Spirit-Parasitized Body encountered by Sun Xuan previously when he obtained the xuanyin sword.

This Python-Robed Zombie had an extremely similar Aura to the Spirit-Parasitized Body Sun Xuan had encountered before.

It was just that the coercion and Aura on this Python-Robed Zombie's body were far too much stronger than the Spirit-Parasitized Body that Sun Xuan had slain when he previously obtained the xuanyin sword.

Therefore, according to Sun Xuan's speculation, the true spirit artifact parasitizing inside this zombie's body was definitely extremely formidable in power.

It might even be ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking.

At this moment, after absorbing a large amount of attribute light spheres and integrating and self-creating the Martial Skills he had acquired,

this Cultivation Technique created by Sun Xuan already had a prototype at this moment.

Furthermore, the Baihuo Cult's rank-eight Martial Artist in front of Sun Xuan had now lost his usefulness as a sparring partner.

Originally, Sun Xuan was prepared to slap him to death with a single palm, but right now, because he had created the prototype of the Cultivation Technique, Sun Xuan's mood was considered quite good.

Moreover, being able to create this Cultivation Technique that belonged exclusively to himself, the rank-eight Martial Artist before him could be considered to have contributed some effort.

Before taking action, Sun Xuan changed his mind and decided to spare this little pitiful wretch's life.

Under Sun Xuan's torment, this Baihuo Cult rank-eight Martial Artist had already become numb by this moment.

After Sun Xuan flew up and kicked him to the side, this rank-eight Martial Artist actually forgot to get up for a moment.

After recovering for a short while, this rank-eight Martial Artist finally reacted to the realization that he was not dead.

Then he climbed to his feet in a somewhat dazed manner, and only then did his eyes slowly regain their luster.

However, after his consciousness regained clarity, this rank-eight Martial Artist suddenly discovered that his Martial Skill's Realm had actually automatically improved by a notch.

At this moment, the Martial Skill he mastered had actually directly broken through from the previous Perfection Realm to the Transcendent Realm, and he had even mastered a Transcendent skill.

Upon discovering this situation, this rank-eight Martial Artist did not even know whether he should cry or laugh at this moment.

However, the gaze with which this rank-eight Martial Artist looked towards Sun Xuan had become somewhat strange.

His gaze was just like that of the most loyal dog in the world looking at its master.

Sun Xuan's series of operations on him had completely conquered this rank-eight Martial Artist.

At this moment, what Baihuo Cult, what holy fire faith, all of it was no longer important.

This rank-eight Martial Artist now only wanted to follow behind Sun Xuan, forever acting as Sun Xuan's follower, willing to go through a Sea of Fire or mountains of blades without hesitation.

However, at this moment, Sun Xuan's attention was not placed on this rank-eight Martial Artist.

At this moment, Sun Xuan was staring at that Python-Robed Zombie with a solemn expression.

Intuition told Sun Xuan that this Python-Robed Zombie was definitely not easy to deal with.

Including Leader Yu Yang, the four rank-seven Martial Artists—Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the others—even if they joined forces, might not necessarily be opponents for this Python-Robed Zombie.

After chasing out of the Zombie City, this Python-Robed Zombie immediately said nothing more and went to kill towards the four people including Shangguan Ming.

This zombie sensed a dense Soul Aura on these four people's bodies.

Driven by its bloodthirsty instinct, it directly and recklessly went to slaughter towards the four of them.

At this moment, seeing this Python-Robed Zombie killing towards him, Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing's face suddenly changed slightly. No longer caring about continuing to hunt down Leader Yu Yang, he instead gripped his dual spears and began to fend off this Python-Robed Zombie.

Meanwhile, Leader Yu Yang's expression also changed at this moment. He had not expected that item to actually parasitize onto a zombie's body; as a result, matters had become tricky.

Furthermore, he was currently nursing not-light injuries, and wanting to take down this Python-Robed Zombie on his own had already become impossible.

However, even if Leader Yu Yang wanted to leave at this moment, he couldn't leave for a short while.

Because just like Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing, he was also entangled by this Python-Robed Zombie at this moment.

Under unavoidable circumstances, Leader Yu Yang had no choice but to endure his injuries and temporarily join forces with Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three to deal with this Python-Robed Zombie.

However, there was fundamentally no trust to speak of among a few of them; joining hands at this moment resulted in constraints at every turn.

Even with close cooperation, the four of them might not necessarily be opponents for this Python-Robed Zombie, let alone now when everyone had secondary intentions and held back.

Therefore, for a time, the four of them were beaten by this Python-Robed Zombie into fleeing in panic with their heads in their hands.

"Clang!"

Hearing a deafening sound of metal clashing ring out, Leader Yu Yang used a vajra pestle to forcibly take a strike from the Python-Robed Zombie's long saber.

The wild and fierce power shook Leader Yu Yang flying into mid-air, and then patches of blood continuously flowed out from the wounds previously pierced by Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing.

Closely following that, the Python-Robed Zombie gently tossed the hand supporting the seal, which immediately transformed into a black meteor, fiercely smashing towards the flying, shaken Leader Yu Yang.

Whether it was Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing, Shangguan Ming, or Sect Master Li Changtian, any of them had the opportunity to help intercept this black seal.

Regrettably, under the mindset of rather letting a Fellow Daoist die than oneself suffer, especially at the juncture where Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing happened to want to kill Leader Yu Yang,

not a single person actually helped Leader Yu Yang intercept it.

Leader Yu Yang, who had been sent flying and whose wounds continuously oozed fresh blood, filled with resentment and helplessness in his heart,

had no choice but to spit out once again that other true spirit artifact he had refined and swallowed into his belly previously—that crimson bead.

After this crimson bead was spat out by Leader Yu Yang, it immediately bloomed with a blazing red light, and then transformed into a red meteor, charging toward the fiercely smashing seal.

"Boom!"

Hearing a resounding explosion ring out, amidst everyone's incredulous gazes,

this crimson bead was actually smashed to pieces in mid-air by that black seal.

One could see the red fragments of the shattered crimson bead crashing down from the air.

Even Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and others found it somewhat hard to believe that a dignified true spirit artifact had actually been blasted apart just like that.

"Puff!"

With the true spirit artifact fused with his Soul being blasted apart, Leader Yu Yang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot; his complexion, which was already somewhat pale due to injuries,

at the instant the true spirit artifact was blasted apart, turned directly ghastly pale.

The whole person was somewhat tottering at this moment, directly falling into a state of severe injury.

The seal sacrificed by the Python-Robed Zombie, after blasting apart Leader Yu Yang's crimson bead, automatically returned to the Python-Robed Zombie's hand.

Closely following that, this Python-Robed Zombie took a step forward, instantly arriving at Leader Yu Yang's front at top speed, and then fiercely chopped down with the black long saber in its hand.

Under severe injury, Leader Yu Yang's internal Qi disorder had not yet settled down, and at this moment, he was simply powerless to strike.

One could see that within Leader Yu Yang's somewhat despairing eyes, the Python-Robed Zombie's black long saber fiercely cleaved down from Leader Yu Yang's head.

Leader Yu Yang's body instantly split into two halves under the cleaving slash of the black long saber.

A large amount of fresh blood was scattered down, and even Leader Yu Yang's Soul was slashed and blasted apart under the cleaving slash of the black long saber.

Seeing this, the Python-Robed Zombie took a fierce breath toward the location of Leader Yu Yang's two corpse halves. One could see Leader Yu Yang's exploding blood, Soul fragments, and dissipating Qi,

at this moment, under the Python-Robed Zombie's single breath, all instantly transformed into streams of Qi, being sucked into the Python-Robed Zombie's body.

Leaving only two halves of mutilated corpses that had lost all blood and Soul essence, dejectedly crashing down onto the ground.

As for the vajra pestle held in Leader Yu Yang's hand, after Leader Yu Yang was slain, it directly collapsed, transforming into a ground full of tattered fragments scattered on the floor.

Seeing this scene, Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing, Shangguan Ming, and Sect Master Li Changtian all had drastic changes in their complexions.

Leader Yu Yang's strength was not weak; although he had previously been injured by Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing, his injuries were not considered too severe.

Furthermore, with two true spirit artifacts in his hands, his strength was not much worse than theirs.

But such a formidable figure died just like that in the hands of this Python-Robed Zombie, and even his Soul and Qi were completely drained empty.

Such a scene could not help but give Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three a feeling of sadness for the demise of their kind.

Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing no longer had the mindset to wipe out the Baihuo Cult remnants at this moment.

This Python-Robed Zombie's strength was clearly not something people of their tier could deal with; if they didn't run for their lives right now,

I'm afraid sooner or later all three of them would fall into Leader Yu Yang's fate.

Thinking of this, the three of them immediately said nothing more, turned around, and ran.

Meanwhile, the remaining forces of the Baihuo Cult and Town Demon Guard below also had no thoughts of continuing to fight fiercely at this moment.

Not to mention the Baihuo Cult, their boss was cleaved into two halves right before their eyes, with his blood, Soul, and Qi all completely drained.

Upon seeing this scene, all the remaining Baihuo Cult disciples were frightened out of their wits on the spot.

Then, unable to care about continuing to slaughter with the Town Demon Guard, they recklessly turned around and fled.

However, these Town Demon Guards did not continue to pursue these Baihuo Cult disciples.

Leader Yu Yang, a powerhouse of the same rank as their Town Demon Envoys, being suppressed and slain, exerted a deterrent effect on these Town Demon Guards that was not a whit less than on those Baihuo Cult remnants.

Furthermore, Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three had already bolted away with all their might at this moment; for them, the Town Demon Guards, to stay in this place any longer would simply be courting death.

Therefore, these Town Demon Guards also said nothing more and instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

As for the manpower brought by the Qingdan Sect and Shangguan Family, after entering that Zombie City, they never returned; presumably, in this lifetime, they would no longer be able to come back.

Just like that, the might of the Python-Robed Zombie alone directly shattered these four factions.

Meanwhile, Sun Xuan looked at this Python-Robed Zombie with a trace of profound meaning in his eyes, and also fled toward the outside of this underground space along with the scattered and fleeing Town Demon Guards.

However, while these remaining personnel wanted to run, this Python-Robed Zombie did not wish to let them go just like that.

It was easier to speak of those low-strength Town Demon Guards and Baihuo Cult disciples; because their Soul Auras were not strong, the attraction to this Python-Robed Zombie was not great.

But Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the three rank-seven mid-to-Late Stage Martial Artists were different; that full, robust Soul and Qi power, like a delicious cake, attracted the attention of this Python-Robed Zombie.

As for Sun Xuan, although Sun Xuan's Soul power was exaggeratedly strong, Sun Xuan's true body was originally the Old Ancestor of toying with Souls, an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

At this moment, Sun Xuan did not want this Python-Robed Zombie to notice him, so he only concealed it slightly, and this Python-Robed Zombie could no longer sense Sun Xuan's Soul Aura.

Therefore, this Python-Robed Zombie did not notice Sun Xuan, instead placing all its attention entirely on the bodies of Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the three rank-seven experts.

One could see Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three gritting their teeth and fleeing desperately, with the Python-Robed Zombie in close pursuit behind them.

Furthermore, the Python-Robed Zombie's speed was clearly much faster than Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the three of them, so after just a short while, the Python-Robed Zombie caught up to the three.

Then it charged toward the three of them.

Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three exchanged a glance, and then concurrently joined forces towards the charging Python-Robed Zombie, striking fiercely at it using true spirit artifacts and their strongest Martial Skills.

Although the Python-Robed Zombie's strength was strong, after the strongest joint strike of the three rank-seven powerhouses, it was still beaten back a few steps.

Then Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the other three took advantage of the gap while it retreated, continuing to flee toward the rear of the underground space without even thinking.

But after a short while, Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the three of them were caught up to once again.

Then the previous scene continued to play out: after pushing back the Python-Robed Zombie with a joint strike, the three of them scrambled to run for their lives once more.

Just like that, all along the way, the three of them and the Python-Robed Zombie fought and stopped intermittently, fleeing toward the outside of the underground space.

However, because of this, the three people's speed was drastically slowed down.

They didn't even run as fast as those Town Demon Guards and Baihuo Cult disciples underneath.

Meanwhile, the crowd of surviving Town Demon Guards and Baihuo Cult disciples also escaped out of that underground space a step ahead of Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing and the three of them.
