Facing Fu Jiu’s Green Hair Corpse, Hook Snake’s expression remained calm.
The strength of this Green Hair Corpse was not weak.
Its physical body was comparable to a True Martial Realm body cultivator, coupled with its zombie poison and its fearless fighting style.
When an ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivator encountered this Green
Hair Corpse, it would be challenging to defeat it.
However, Hook Snake was not an ordinary person.
While others might fear the Green Hair Corpse’s zombie poison, Hook Snake wasn’t afraid at all.
To him, the mere zombie poison was as insignificant as eating and drinking.
After blocking the Green Hair Corpse’s attack with one hand, Hook Snake launched his counterattack.
The scales on his right hand began to twist rapidly, and the muscles under the scales also writhed.
Within a breath or two, his right hand transformed into a large black snake.
The Green Hair Corpse’s pupils instantly contracted upon seeing the black snake.
Without any hesitation, the Green Hair Corpse retreated.
However, if it wanted to retreat, Hook Snake would not let it escape so easily.
The giant black snake formed by the arm chased after the Green Hair Corpse.
In no time, the black snake entangled the body of the Green Hair Corpse. Feeling the tremendous oppressive force on its body, the Green Hair Corpse immediately began to struggle.
However, its physical body, which was comparable to a True Martial Realm body cultivator, was completely powerless against the crushing power of the black snake.
No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn’t break free from the Hook Snake’s attack.
In a moment of desperation, the Green Hair Corpse lunged and bit at the body of the black snake.
Thrust!
When the Green Hair Corpse’s teeth sank into the snake’s body, a sharp metallic collision sound rang out.
To its surprise, the Green Hair Corpse’s formidable teeth were unable to penetrate the black snake’s scales.
Realizing that its attack did not affect the black snake, the intelligent Green Hair Corpse immediately felt despair.
Everything happened very quickly.
Only a few breaths had passed since the Hook Snake launched his attack and the Green Hair Corpse launched its counterattack.
Fu Jiu didn’t expect that Hook Snake would be so powerful.
He could sense that Hook Snake’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But now, it was evident that this person was far beyond Foundation Establishment Stage. His strength was undoubtedly at the Core Formation stage.
Furthermore, with such techniques and power, he was one of the outstanding cultivators at the Core Formation Stage.
Realizing this, Fu Jiu no longer concealed his strength.
Fu Jiu took off his Daoist robe and bit his finger, then proceeded to draw a special talisman symbol on his body.
Not long after, Fu Jiu’s upper body was covered in numerous distinct patterns.
These black patterns spread all over Fu Jiu’s body, eventually converging at his chest.
A terrifying aura of death emanated from Fu Jiu’s body.
Then, a closed-eyed grimacing ghost face slowly emerged from Fu Jiu’s chest.
This grotesque ghost face appeared as though it was an integral part of Fu Jiu’s body, tightly fused with his skin.
At that moment, Hook Snake, who was controlling the Green Hair Corpse, also noticed Fu Jiu’s unusual transformation.
Upon seeing the ghostly face on Fu Jiu’s body, Hook Snake’s initial calmness faded away.
He gazed at Fu Jiu and spoke with a grave tone, “1 didn’t expect someone in the Lower Realm to possess the means of nurturing a corpse. It seems you have domesticated an ancient corpse within your own body, haven’t you?”
“Aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to suppress that ancient corpse and it will seize control of your body?”
Fu Jiu calmly looked at Hook Snake and responded, “Even if such a situation were to arise, it would be a matter for the future.”
“Compared to an unpredictable future, I prefer to seize the present.” “Understood.”
After saying so much, didn’t he feel confident that he could suppress this ancient corpse?
He believed his talent was extraordinary, so he must be able to do things that others couldn’t.
This was a common flaw among all heavenly pride.
However, Hook Snake had already killed countless heavenly pride like him. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated his Hook Snake to his current state? After Fu Jiu activated the ancient corpse residing in his body, the battle situation suddenly became strange.
Although Hook Snake had managed to suppress the Green Hair Corpse earlier, it was not an easy task to kill it in a short period.
Fu Jiu’s Green Hair Corpse was not an ordinary corpse found anywhere.
If he wanted to get rid of it, he would have to spend a lot of effort.
However, at the moment, Hook Snake had no such opportunity.
This was because Fu Jiu had also joined the battlefield.
Fu Jiu, transformed into an ancient corpse, was covered in peculiar talismans all over his body. His skin dried up visibly at an alarming rate.
Paired with his bloodless face, Fu Jiu no longer had the semblance of a living person.
He resembled a zombie even more than the Green Hair Corpse.
At least the Green Hair Corpse had well-defined muscles, unlike Fu Jiu who now seemed as thin as a skinny dog.
However, Fu Jiu’s combat power was even stronger than the Green Hair Corpse’s.
With Fu Jiu joining the battle, Hook Snake couldn’t find an opportunity to deal with the Green Hair Corpse in the short term.
In the face of a two-on-one situation, Fu Jiu found himself entrenched in a grueling fight.
What the two of them did not know was that this battle was being watched by a third party.
Lu Yuan looked at Fu Jiu and Hook Snake, who were fighting fiercely, and felt that he had arrived at the right moment.
Lu Yuan wasn’t surprised by Hook Snake’s current strength, and he even sensed that Hook Snake hadn’t put forth his full effort yet.
However, Fu Jiu’s ability to transform into an ancient corpse was something Lu Yuan didn’t expect.
What era was it now? There were people who walked in this retro style..
