Hearing the transmission from Third Elder Qin, Zhang Ling responded immediately.
Although Corpse Infants are corpse monsters similar to zombies, they are extremely different from other zombies. They don't have strong physical bodies, but instead possess some extremely special abilities, making them impossible to deal with easily.
What's more, the Corpse Infant in front of them has killing intent that has already reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, so the only option now is to join forces.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling's eyes flickered a few times, and he turned his head to Bai Xinyao, who was not far behind him, and said, "Fairy Bai, you should leave this place first. When fighting this kind of monster, I can't take care of you."
Bai Xinyao was still in a daze, looking at the Corpse Infant with an expression of disbelief. What happened just now was too fast. She hasn't recovered from the shock.
She saw that Third Elder Qin's physical body was destroyed in an instant, and her face had unknowingly turned pale, and a sense of fear rose in her heart.
Hearing Zhang Ling's voice, she came back to her senses and nodded blankly.
"Take these two fifth-grade Water Light Talismans and find a safe place to hide. We will hold this monster back," Zhang Ling threw out two blue talismans.
The two blue talismans were instantly activated, turning into two layers of water light shields, covering Bai Xinyao.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, please be careful." Bai Xinyao squeezed out a apologetic smile, glanced at the Corpse Infant, then at the fire dragon, and flew away into the distance.
The Corpse Infant remained in place, glancing strangely at Bai Xinyao, with no intention of chasing. It let out a strange cackle, grinned, revealing its dark mouth, and spewed out a thick green mist to cover itself.
"By swallowing the Nascent Souls of you few, this king's cultivation will surely be even better."
The green mist rolled and turned into a green cloud, and a foul corpse aura burst out from within.
"Hmph, what boasting."
Old Fire shrieked, flapped its wings, and waved out a series of crimson fireballs, hitting the green cloud.
A series of loud rumbling sounds instantly spread across the sky, and a small half of the green cloud was instantly burned away.
Although Third Elder Qin lost his physical body, he was, after all, an old monster in the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, and still had some combat power. He saw his Nascent Soul's small hand rub, and a black ring appeared in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, it was not an attacking or defensive magic weapon, but a delicate storage ring.
Storage bags are common, but storage magic tools as exquisite as bracelets and rings are mostly refined with special space materials.
A flash of spiritual light appeared on the ring. Several rays of light flew out from it.
One of the black lights turned into a black-armored guard that was ten feet tall. His whole body was iron-cyan. It was not a real person, but a puppet.
Third Elder Qin's Nascent Soul flashed with purple light and directly merged into the puppet's body. The other rays of light also turned into several ancient treasures, floating beside the puppet's hand: a black longbow, a white round bead, and a gray shield.
There were also Third Elder Qin's original three purple flying swords, spitting out streams of sword light.
As the purple light flashed, a piece of sword light was first slashed out. At the same time, the black longbow was also grabbed in the puppet's hand, and as its inner eyes flashed with purple light, it was suddenly drawn open, and a golden arrow appeared between the bowstrings.
With a loud bang, the golden arrow shot out and instantly penetrated into the green cloud created by the Corpse Infant.
With a crackling sound, the golden arrow exploded into a golden lightning.
Zhang Ling happened to catch a glimpse of this scene and was surprised. He could see that this puppet was one that could exert the strength of the late Golden Core stage.
Looking at the style, it was similar to the puppets he saw at the entrance of the ghost market in Tianmu City. It's just that Third Elder Qin's puppet seemed to be more exquisite, as if it was specially made.
Could it be that this person is also proficient in puppetry? Third Elder Qin only has his Nascent Soul left, but he cleverly used the puppet body as a physical body. This kind of usage was the first time he had seen it.
But now is not the time to explore these things. The thought only flashed in his mind, but Zhang Ling's movements were not slow.
Under his control, the gray mist formed by the Four Direction Flags formed a gray whirlwind, and rolled towards the green cloud that had been mostly scattered.
At the same time, the Earth Essence Gourd was turned upside down, and another piece of Heavenly Star Sand flowed out. The scattered yellow sand was like a river of quicksand, circling around his body again and again.
As the magic spell in his hand flashed, another seven or eight stone dragons condensed from the yellow sand. They shot out petrifying spiritual light as they wagged their heads and tails.
Under their combined efforts, the green cloud created by the Corpse Infant was instantly shattered. However, the shattered green cloud did not dissipate. Wisps of green gas quickly gathered into three green wind clusters.
In one of the wind clusters, the sound of cracking bones colliding resounded. A green, glowing bone bird rushed out from it. It looked like the same kind of creature as the bone birds they had killed before.
But this green bone bird was extremely large, more than twenty feet in size. It looked like it was made of emerald, and its aura faintly had the strength of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
With a strange cry, the green bird flapped its wings and shot out green bone spurs, attacking Old Fire.
As the bone bird chirped, a series of strange cries also came from the volcano-like crater next to it. Only a grey-white bone bird flew out from it.
In the blink of an eye, it covered most of the sky, numbering in the thousands. They fearlessly attacked Zhang Ling and the others.
Seeing this scene, how could Zhang Ling not know that the scene where the group of bone birds they encountered earlier were fighting for the blood cloud fruit was not accidental.
It must have been controlled by the Corpse Infant to attack them by surprise.
If he had coincidentally obtained the Corpse Pill at that time, he might have been the one who was attacked.
At this time, a burst of bone-like gray-white gas emerged from another green wind cluster, and more than a dozen black snakes, fifty to sixty feet long, swam out from it. They also exuded a strong corpse aura, and were a group of zombie snakes.
One by one, they spewed out wisps of gray-white corpse fire, attacking Zhang Ling.
Although there were not many of them, Zhang Ling glanced at them and his face darkened. These were all corpse snakes with the strength of the sixth or seventh rank, and the leader was a one-eyed snake that was a hundred feet long.
It looked like the kind of one-eyed snake that the Ghost King Sect cultivators had released before.
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by a group of corpse snakes and a group of bone birds.
Zhang Ling also caught a glimpse of a bloody figure flying out of the last green wind. It was a human figure, but it exuded a foul bloody aura. It was an even more terrifying blood corpse. The Corpse Infant was lying on the blood corpse's back, heading straight for the puppet possessed by Third Elder Qin.
This Corpse Infant actually controlled so many high-level corpse monsters, and three corpse kings comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. Could it be a natural ability?
Zhang Ling thought to himself as the grey mist restriction of the Four Direction Flags floated in front of him.
These corpse snakes fearlessly rushed into it, and their movements slowed down a lot, and they were all imprisoned.
Although the largest corpse snake was surrounded by gray-white corpse fire, it had a tendency to break free as it wagged its head and tail.
But the other corpse snakes were like they were nailed in the air.
Taking this opportunity, the petrifying spiritual light shot out by the earth spirit stone dragon hit these corpse snakes, and a loud bang came.
Following closely, the seven flying swords were even more powerful. With a flash of sword light, the corpse snakes with the strength of the middle and late stages of the Golden Core realm were all cut into sections of minced corpses.
Zhang Ling even changed the magic spell with both hands, and the bodies of the seven flying swords overlapped, turning into a huge cyan-white sword light, and a white tiger phantom appeared on the sword light.
With a roar of a tiger, the sword light slashed out, heading straight for the head of the largest corpse snake.
He directly summoned the White Tiger Sword Spirit, intending to kill this corpse monster with one blow.
However, just as the sword light flew out, the single eye in the center of the one-eyed snake's head suddenly opened. There was no pupil inside, it was a piece of gray-white.
Zhang Ling only felt a piece of gray light in front of him, as if he was blind, unable to see anything. His divine sense also became chaotic and heavy.
The magic spell in his hand couldn't help but slow down by half a beat, and the one-eyed snake instantly broke free from the gray mist restriction.
However, the sword light still slashed on the snake's body. After merging with the White Tiger Sword Spirit, the spirituality of his flying sword had increased a lot, and it faintly had the spirituality of automatic attack.
But unfortunately, it did not slash on its head, but slashed on the snake's body, cutting off half of the snake's tail.
What was even more dangerous was that in the moment of his daze. Not far behind him, a piece of green light suddenly emerged, and in the green light, the Corpse Infant appeared silently behind him, opened its mouth and spat out more than a dozen black lights, heading straight for Zhang Ling's body.
With a clang, these black lights pierced through the yellow sand outside his body and nailed on the protective cover of the Yellow Luo Umbrella.
The yellow spiritual light of the Yellow Luo Umbrella suddenly became unstable, and cracks appeared.
Another black light shot out, it was the black tongue in the Corpse Infant's mouth. With a clear sound, it shattered the protection of the Yellow Luo Umbrella.
The Corpse Infant even let out an excited cry. But then his cry turned into a scream.
A black-faced youth had appeared next to Zhang Ling at some point. With a wave of his hand, a silver-black arc of light flashed, and the Corpse Infant's tongue was cut off.
At the same time, blue light flashed in Xuan Turtle's mouth, and a blue-black lightning beam shot out. It directly hit the Corpse Infant.
The Corpse Infant's scream stopped abruptly.
Zhang Ling didn't know when he had turned his body around, looking coldly at the Corpse Infant hit by the Water Astral Divine Thunder. At the same time, he threw out seven or eight cyan-red round beads in his hand.
These round beads collided with each other, bursting out a terrifying thunder fire, sweeping the location of the Corpse Infant.
It was the thunder fire bead he refined.
The scene just now was really extremely dangerous. As soon as the one-eyed snake's eyes opened, it seemed to fall into an illusion. He instantly lost his perception of the outside world.
Fortunately, he immediately ran the Nine Yuan Refining God Technique, guarded his mind, and at the same time, the Yuan Soul Qinglian in the sea also emitted a cold aura, which made him wake up.
But in fact, when he woke up, it was exactly the moment when the Corpse Infant spat out its tongue to attack.
Zhang Ling suppressed the thought of immediately dodging, while summoning Xuan Turtle and quickly counterattacking.
This is why the Corpse Infant was attacked at this moment.
But Zhang Ling's face did not look much better, because when he swept his divine sense, he found that there was only a group of green corpse energy in the thunder fire, which instantly dissipated.
He didn't think that he could eliminate the Corpse Infant so easily.
Sure enough, the next moment he found that the Corpse Infant had appeared on top of the one-eyed snake's head, staring at him and Xuan Turtle fiercely.
Its aura only decreased a little, and it seemed that it only suffered a slight injury at most.
Looking not far away, half of the sky was surrounded by a fire cloud, and Old Fire had turned into a flame eagle, revealing its body and pressing down on the green bone bird.
Half of the green bone bird's wings were missing, trapped in a fire light, constantly screaming.
Old Fire's strength is indeed not weak, Zhang Ling sighed inwardly. It seems that it will be able to solve the ancient bird in a moment.
Third Elder Qin's side was also fine. Although he was being besieged by a group of bone birds and the blood corpse, he kept retreating the blood corpse with several powerful magic weapons and the longbow that could release golden lightning.
As long as he was not approached by the blood corpse, he would be safe if he tried his best.
What surprised Zhang Ling a little was that there was still a green Corpse Infant lying on the blood corpse's back, constantly spitting out green corpse fire. For a time, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
"Avatar."
Zhang Ling muttered, unexpectedly the Corpse Infant still had this kind of method, and was quite proficient in secret methods. He actually sneaked behind him and launched a sneak attack.
It's really not easy to deal with.
Hundreds of bone birds were also flying around him, attacking, and were all blocked by the earth spirit.
With a thought, the earth spirit stone dragon shot out thick head cones, and after a series of loud bangs, these low-level bone birds were beaten into bone fragments and fell from the sky.
Seeing this scene, the ferocity in the Corpse Infant's eyes became even stronger. "I was careless, your cultivation is a little weaker than those two, but it seems that your methods are stronger. And you have hidden a helper, it seems that it will take a little effort to take out your Nascent Soul."
The Corpse Infant smiled sinisterly, patted its round belly, and spat out a thicker green mist from its mouth, covering the remaining one-eyed corpse snake.
Zhang Ling's divine sense sensed two spiritual lights flashing in the green mist. Upon closer inspection, they were two magic weapons.
A gray long banner, the style looks very similar to the Soul Refining Banner recorded in the Ghost King Sect's Ming Wang Art, but the Soul Refining Banner should be black and white when it is refined, but it is covered with a piece of gray light, and it does not emit Yin evil ghost energy, but a strong corpse energy.
Obviously it has been re-refined by this Corpse Infant.
The other one is a black round bowl, with the sound of water in it, and a piece of turbid yellow water emerges from it. I don't know what magical power it has.
Zhang Ling would naturally not watch this monster sacrifice the magic weapon.
Xuan Turtle's body instantly turned into a half-demon form, with scales growing on his face and hands. He held a black gourd in his hand, releasing the heavy water inside.
Xuan Turtle opened his mouth and spewed out a cold air, and the black heavy water twisted into a black ice dragon more than twenty feet long and rushed over.
Zhang Ling himself also shook his arm, and a dozen black vines were thrown out from his left arm, growing in the wind, and each turned into a huge black vine.
At the same time, the black bone giant claw also appeared in his hand, and spiritual power was injected into it.
The sword light that had just cut off the corpse snake also returned, turning into a miniature white tiger, staring closely at the one-eyed snake in the green mist.
