Chapter 1358: Desperate
Old Man Jackdaw felt the terrible suction all around instantly lighten up, and he couldn’t help but feel happy.
He hurriedly made a gesture, trying to fly out of this demonic corpse miasma in one go.
As he just flew for 30 meters, a muffled tearing sound came from above.
The next moment, he felt a sudden darkness above his head. A gigantic black python with a murderous gaze emerged from the mist and spat its tongue at Old Man Jackdaw.
If Liu Ming were here, he would definitely be able to recognize this black snake head was exactly the ancient demon snake that he had encountered before!
A terrifying aura suddenly burst out from the giant snake!
Seeing this, Old Man Jackdaw almost wanted to scream in horror.
He knew in his heart that even if he was in his peak period, this giant snake was not something he could resist at all, let alone when he was injured and his spiritual power was weak.
However, since his cultivation had reached the Mystic Comprehending State, he had naturally gone through countless life-and-death tests. He calmed down instantly and moved the blue dagger-axe slightly, trying to do something to escape.
However, his movement directly led to the tragedy.
A red shadow flashed at an incredible speed. The thick snake tongue of the giant snake wrapped around Old Man Jackdaw.
Before Old Man Jackdaw could react, the snake tongue had already dragged Old Man Jackdaw into the snake’s mouth.
The ancient demon snake’s head shook slightly, and its body slowly disappeared into the endless miasma again.
…
Although the family that Old Man Jackdaw belonged to failed to rank among the 4 great families, it was qualified to enter the Demon Abyss. This showed that the strength of his family was second only to the 4 great families.
He himself was well-known in the Thousands Demons Continent, but now he had fallen in the demonic corpse miasma without anyone knowing.
All the people in the Inner Abyss were still moving toward the center.
Rumble!
Somewhere in the midair of the ancient demon cemetery, a black cloud the size of an acre tumbled. A thick black lightning struck the head of a tall red demon corpse below.
The head of the red demon corpse was blasted away under the lightning strike. The headless demon corpse fell and crushed an abandoned building.
In mid-air, Gaohe Yan raised his hand and launched a symbol above him. The black cloud in midair shrunk rapidly, turning into a black brocade with lightning runes embroidered on it. Black lightning arcs flowed on the brocade from time to time.
The brocade fell into his hands after turning around.
After he put away the brocade, he felt relieved and took a few breathers.
At this moment, there were already 5 demon corpses lying around him. They were killed not long ago.
Gaohe Yan took out an elixir to restore spiritual power, then a look of remorse flashed in his eyes.
He underestimated the Inner Abyss too much. Not only was he unprepared, but now he was alone again. After entering the cemetery, he went into tough battles repeatedly. He didn’t have time to rest at all.
Even if he was a Mystic Comprehending State Powerhouse, his spiritual power had been almost exhausted by such a series of intense battles.
Just now, when he was about to recover, he was surrounded by several demon corpses that suddenly appeared. He had no choice but to use his trump card. Although he killed these demon corpses, his spiritual power, which was not much at first, was once again consumed by more than half.
After taking a few deep breaths, his body emitted a faint black glow and his complexion looked slightly recovered.
He shook his head to put aside negative emotions such as fear, and his expression became firm again.
He had already come here, so he would naturally not give up halfway. No matter what, he must find some unparalleled treasures.
He let out a sigh of relief, then he flew into the distance.
Not long after he left, a strange looked flashed in his eyes.
When he entered the cemetery, the red mist was not very heavy, but as he went deeper, the mist gradually thickened. However, when he arrived here, the red mist seemed to start to thin out again, so it can be inferred that he was about to leave the area of the cemetery.
Thinking of this, Gaohe Yan was overjoyed and accelerated the escape light.
At this moment, under the escape light, a long fissure cracked open on the flat ground. A giant black hand stretched out, splashing the mud and rocks everywhere. The fingertips were glimmering black light, and there was a stench coming from the hand.
As soon as the black hand appeared, it grabbed the escape light flying through the air like a flash of lightning.
Such a change caught Gaohe Yan off guard.
However, he was not an ordinary cultivator. After a loud shout, his figure shifted 9 meters to the side.
Poof!
Although he escaped the claw of the black hand, his lower leg was still wounded.
The area around the wound immediately turned black and quickly began to rot, spreading toward his thigh.
Gaohe Yan was astounded. While retreating, he channeled black light to contain the black aura around the injury on his leg, but it was futile. The black aura spread to his knee in the blink of an eye.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he decisively slashed cut off his lower leg.
Blood gushed out wildly.
Gaohe Yan spurted a bloody light to wrap the severed limb.
The blood stopped quickly. As the crackling bone sounds occurred, a new lower leg bone had grown and flesh began to intertwine the new leg bone, turning into a new lower leg.
Regenerating severed limbs was nothing for a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse like him.
But after such a delay, the demon corpse had emerged from the ground and blocked before him.
After Gaohe Yan stabilized his figure, he took a glance, which struck fear in his mind.
The demon corpse was 300 meters tall. Its whole body was covered with black scales. The aura it emitted far surpassed any demon corpse he had encountered before.
The one that stopped Gaohe Yan was an ancient demon corpse!
The third vertical eye on the ancient demon’s forehead also looked at Gaohe Yan. It let out a roar while charging forward. The claw full of scales swiped toward Gaohe Yan like lightning.
Gaohe Yan had already experienced the corpse poison of this ancient demon corpse, so he hurriedly condensed a 300 meters tall phantasm aspect. The phantasm aspect crossed its arms, and countless mysterious runes flew out from it.
The claw shook slightly after being blocked by countless mysterious runes.
At this moment, Gaohe Yan changed gesture abruptly, and the phantasm aspect spurted a black lightning bolt at the claw.
The black lightning bolt erupted on the claw, but it quickly dissipated. A scorched black hole appeared on the impact spot.
Roar!
The ancient demon corpse immediately let out a cry of pain as if it was irritated.
The corpse aura around its body quickly intertwined and formed an ancient demon phantasm that was 300 meters tall. It had dual horns and red eyes.
The ancient demon phantasm opened its mouth with dazzling black light, then countless black silks shot out and shrouded the area with a radius of 300 meters around Gaohe Yan and the phantasm aspect behind him.
Gaohe Yan was startled. Although the demon corpses he met before were at the Celestial State, they just had high defense and great strength. Their attack and defend patterns were simple, but this demon corpse could actually condense phantasm aspect and cast spell.
Although with his cultivation base, if he went all out, he could naturally handle it, but who knows if he would encounter other dangers in the future.
As he was thinking of a countermeasure, he didn’t stop making gestures. He shouted and released the black brocade again.
Boom!
There was a burst of thunder out of thin air. The black brocade flashed with lightning, turning into a black cloud and wrapping his body inside. Streaks of black lightning flashed through the cloud.
As Gaohe Yan had just done this, the black silks shrouded Gaohe Yan and the black cloud inside.
The black cloud was wrapped into a black cocoon by the black silks.
With a ferocious expression, the ancient demon corpse clawed at the black cocoon.
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded from the black cocoon. Black lightning arcs emerged around the cocoon.
The cocoon shattered suddenly, and a black escape light wrapped in lightning arcs dashed toward the distance swiftly.
The ancient demon corpse was stunned, then it let out an angry roar and immediately chased after it, causing the ground to shake violently.
In the black lightning escape light, Gaohe Yan’s face was extremely pale. In order to get rid of the ancient demon corpse just now, he had to forcibly activate the black brocade again.
Rumble!
The ancient demon corpse was actually keeping up with the black thunder escape technique by just running.
Bursts of roars came from the ancient demon corpse as if it would never give up until it caught up with Gaohe Yan.
Gaohe Yan smiled wryly. He never expected that he would face such a desperate situation.
As he was thinking this way, he was rushing forward.
He no longer had much spiritual power to fight with the ancient demon corpse behind him. He only hoped to get out of this cemetery quickly and reach the next place.
TL: Seems like he will die in this cemetery… Thought he would end the enmity between Liu Ming and hopefully give him some lightning buff weapon…
