What kind of demon is this?

That earthy yellow, foul-smelling demonic mist clearly has the effect of obstructing divine sense, making the Cave Abyss Skill unclear and obscure.

Zhang Kui frowned and cautiously moved forward.

Suddenly, a loud roaring noise erupted, the demon mist churned, and a row of lantern-like eyes flickered wildly.

Such powerful spiritual sense!

Zhang Kui was taken aback and quickly stepped back.

However, in that brief moment, Zhang Kui had seen the creature's form.

It was a monstrous fish resembling a Tangshi, with a wide mouth and long whiskers, covered in dense bone armor, with two rows of compound eyes on its head, slippery and grotesque, yet disgusting.

The earthy yellow mist seemed to grow on its body, at times condensing into mucus on the skin, at times evaporating into yellow mist, continuously alternating.

The surrounding ground had been corroded into a large circle.

Old Huang had mentioned that there are three paths for demon cultivation:

Bloodline, Moon Worship, and Transformation into Human Form.

It appears that this Fish Demon is cultivating its bloodline, devouring flesh and blood, its body large and strong, and the yellow demon mist should be its innate divine technique.

No wonder it wanted the cultivation skill of the "Stone Man Tomb".

Creatures like this, although powerful, are hindered by complex and obscure spiritual qi. In the Celestial Tribulation Realm, suffering from three disasters and five misfortunes, they generally have no chance of survival.

The two rows of lantern-sized eyes began to slowly close, and soon, loud snores were heard.

Zhang Kui also took the opportunity to slowly retreat.

This demon, after all, is in the Grain Avoidance Realm, possessing boundless mana and holding geographic advantage in the water. It's best not to disturb it and deal with the zombie first.

Suddenly, Zhang Kui was startled and looked up.

He could feel a cold, bloody consciousness rapidly approaching from above, swiftly making its way towards him.

It's that Grain Avoidance Realm Corpse Demon!

How could it be so fast?

It's… the Corpse Pill!

Zhang Kui felt a chill on his scalp.

His Invisibility Skill would surely be discovered if examined closely by an old demon of the Grain Avoidance Realm, and what's more troubling is, if his form is revealed and trapped by the two demons, there would be no time to escape.

What to do?

Zhang Kui made a decisive decision and took out the Corpse Pill from his personal space, tossing it directly toward the "River King," then turned to escape.

For ordinary beings, this Corpse Pill is extremely poisonous; if its Yin Qi and Corpse Qi erupt, all life within a kilometer might perish.

Even general demons probably couldn't withstand it.

But this "River King" is different.

He can eat anything innately, digest everything, thriving in land filled with evil miasma and corpses of poison, he eats happily nonetheless.

The Corpse Pill, to him, is also an ultimate delicacy.

When Zhang Kui threw the Corpse Pill, the "River King" instinctively opened its big mouth and swallowed it whole.

Even smacked its lips…

Roar!

A roar suddenly echoed from above, even causing ripples in the Water Mansion.

The "River King" Tangshi Demon woke up instantly, its lantern-like eyes brightened, looking around in confusion.

With a loud crash,

Rocks and sand from the Water Mansion's ceiling began to tumble down, muddying the water immediately.

A cold, bloody, tall figure fell down, black smoke and yellow mist mixed instantly.

Along with a wailing "caw," the muddy water with black-yellow sand became further tinted with a large swath of red.

"Old zombie, what are you doing!"

The "River King" was shocked and angry.

"Go… die!"

"It's you who will die!"

It all happened in an instant.

Zhang Kui had just dashed out of the Water Mansion's entrance when a loud roar erupted behind him, the Water Mansion collapsed, and mud and silt mixed with muddy water gushed out.

At the entrance, the "River King's" subordinate demon ghosts were either trembling in fear or scattering in fright.

Zhang Kui stopped at the river entrance of the River King Temple, turned, and coldly looked at the Water Mansion.

This "River King" had thought to direct disaster eastwards, to play the bystander, a fisherman waiting for gains. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui had come upon him, turning his scheme against him, catching him off guard.

By now, chaos reigned at the Water Mansion, mud, sand, and stones flying everywhere, muddy water surging, the Cave Abyss Skill couldn't see clearly.

However, Zhang Kui could feel the imposing aura of the two demons, one foul and sticky, the other cold and bloody, entangled like giant beasts locked in deadly combat.

Overall, the Corpse Demon was the more powerful, but gradually, the "River King" gained the upper hand.

"Old zombie, don't think I'm afraid of you. Daring to come to the water to find me, this ancestor will devour and refine you today!"

From the muddy waters came the "River King's" muffled, sticky roar, filled with anger and a hint of glee.

Then with a rumbling crash, a massive twenty-meter-long Tangshi burst out from the murky waters, opening its huge mouth, revealing sharp, layered teeth like a shark, biting towards a shadow ahead.

Zhang Kui was startled to see the Corpse Demon's form for the first time, unable to help but be shocked.

This Corpse Demon was fully scaled, already beast-like, it was hard to imagine how a zombie could transform into such a form.

The Corpse Demon, riding the black smoke, rapidly retreated, meanwhile on the "River King's" head, a massive wound gushed blood frantically, turning into red light being absorbed by the Corpse Demon.

This was probably the Corpse Demon's divine power; not only did the nearby little demons rapidly wither under its influence, but even Zhang Kui, watching from afar, felt his own blood churn.

Of course, the "River King" had means of its own.

Its yellow smoke rapidly expanded and contracted, turning the surrounding space into a giant gel, slowing the Corpse Demon's speed before its jaws snapped shut.

The sound of breaking steel rang out; the Corpse Demon had even been bitten off half a calf!

The Corpse Demon roared angrily, its body flashing swiftly, leaping out of the water with a thump, the "River King" relentless in pursuit.

Zhang Kui felt a stir in his mind, quickly surfaced, poking his head through the reeds to observe.

By then, the Corpse Demon had landed by the riverside; despite losing half a foot, it stood firmly, coldly watching the river surface.

Above the water, the Tangshi Demon revealed its massive form, shrouded in earthy yellow mist, charging at the Corpse Demon.

This time, the Corpse Demon neither dodged nor flinched. In its surrounding black mist appeared giant millstone-sized green ghost fires, shooting violently towards the "River King."

Zhang Kui was secretly astounded,

This Corpse Demon indeed knows magic.

Even zombies have their own hierarchy.

Ordinary White Zombies and Black Zombies fear light and fire; a few brave ordinary people could handle them, as evidenced by Lu City always burning zombies.

In due time, they would turn into Green Zombies, even Fuzzy Zombies, protected by Corpse Qi, extremely fast, Copper Skin and Iron Bone, equivalent to Enlightenment Realm cultivators, with strength proportional to their Tao Cultivation.

Upon becoming Millennial Flying Zombies, they would possess magic and even fly using Yin Qi, akin to Grain Avoidance Realm cultivators.

Zhang Kui had once seen a Flying Zombie in the Cold Yin Cave, but it had long become a sacrifice. The Faced Corpse Demon displayed extraordinary phenomena, clearly more formidable than ordinary flying zombies.

Moreover, this creature was likely not ordinary in life; otherwise, why set such an impressive vicious array?

The green ghost fires kept bombarding the earthy yellow mist of the "River King," sizzling with corrosive sounds, drenching the water surface with a stench.

The "River King's" demon mist, once out of the water, was clearly less powerful, starting to falter, scaring the Fish Demon into diving back into the water, only exposing its massive head and a row of eyes.

The two demons found themselves in a standoff.

"You… come up!"

The Corpse Demon suddenly spoke in a raspy voice.

"If you have the guts, come down here!"

The "River King" replied, muffled and stuffy.

"You… come up!"

"You come down!"

Zhang Kui was a bit speechless, Are you two reenacting Journey to the West? Get on with it...

However, things didn't go as he wished; After glaring murderously at each other for a while, the two demons began retreating separately.

Zhang Kui shook his head helplessly, casting a glance at the "River King" submerged in the water, a hint of weakness in its eyes mixed with evil Qi.

Seize the opportunity to strike while it's down.

Should he make a move on this guy first?

But his pupils suddenly contracted, turning his head back.

He saw the Corpse Demon turning into rolling black smoke, heading straight towards Lu City.

This fellow plans to devour blood Qi to heal its injuries…
