  "Ha!"

  With a yell, Linger Yao hacked her Purple Thunder Sword forward, unleashing a bolt of purple lightning and slashing toward the Zombie Emperor with great force.

  The lightning bolt was so fast that it was upon the Zombie Emperor before he could react.

  Crack!

  The purple lightning hacked into his arm and shattered it. His flesh turned black and even the black bone inside was exposed to the air. It was a pathetic sight.

  It was so painful that the Zombie Emperor turned white and trembled all over. Although he was very powerful and was invincible in front of any blades or swords, he was most vulnerable to the lightning attacks.

  "Demonic woman, how dare you attack me with lightning! I will kill you for it!" The Zombie Emperor’s face turned dark and a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

  He lifted the lid of the black bottle and circulated his corpse energy. A beam of black light shot out of the bottle.

  The light beam was so fast that it shot into Linger Yao’s arm instantly, punching a black hole in her arm and causing blood to gush from it.

  With a grunt, Linger Yao’s face turned white.

  Qingfeng Li was lying on the ground and his whole body was blackened with corpse energy.

  He felt he was dying or was turning into a corpse since his body had been completely engulfed by the that poisonous energy.

  The energy eroded his body and brain and left his body in tatters.

  At this critical moment, the golden flame in his body appeared suddenly and, spreading from his Dantian, it began to burn off the corpse energy in his body.

  The golden flame was as hot as 5,000 degrees and the black corpse energy was burned into nothing by the fire.

  The golden flame started from his Dantian and travelled to his belly, chest, head, neck, back, waist, legs and feet. It burned all the deadly energy in his body.

  Although the corpse presence was burned off, the energy it contained didn’t vanish with it, instead entering Qingfeng Li’s Dantian and providing him with great amounts of vital essence.

  The spirit nucleus within Qingfeng Li’s Dantian experienced a transformation and the number of marks on the spirit nucleus became six instead of five.

  Six marks was the symbol of the breakthrough into the sixth level of the Spirit King Realm.

  After the breakthrough into the sixth level of Spirit King Realm, the huge amounts of energy continued to surge into the spirit nucleus and transformed the egg-sized spirit nucleus once again.

  One more mark appeared on the spirit nucleus and seven marks, the symbol of a breakthrough into the seventh level of Spirit King Realm, appeared.

  In a short moment, Qingfeng Li had broken through two levels and reached the seventh level of the Spirit King Realm. It was considerably fast.

  Of course, the fast speed of his breakthroughs was the result of the powerful energy that Qingfeng Li had absorbed from the Zombie Emperor.

  "Hahaha, I broke through!" Qingfeng Li burst into laughter, his face full of excitement.

  With the breakthrough of his strength, Qingfeng Li’s spiritual energy had also increased.

  Before this, Qingfeng Li could only use the golden flame twice every 12 hours due to his limited mana energy and strength.

  But now, he could use the golden flame three time, which meant he could use it against the Zombie Emperor.

  Seeing Qingfeng Li jump up from the ground, the Zombie Emperor was surprised.

  He didn’t understand how the young man could suddenly recover after being eroded by his corpse aura. It was astonishing.

  Black Puppy was stunned, too, having not expected that Qingfeng Li would have dissolved the corpse aura in his body and even increased his strength.

  Qingfeng Li stood up from the ground, his muscles and bones crackling with power. He was full of energy and wanted to jump into a good fight.

  Suddenly, his eyes turned grim when he saw Linger Yao was wounded in her arm. The black corpse energy in the bloody hole was eroding her arm and then the rest of her body.

  Strong as she was, Linger Yao didn’t have the golden flame to dissolve the corpse aura and could only circulate her cultivation techniques to stall the eroding progress.

  Qingfeng Li’s body shifted and, as fast as lightning, he arrived beside Linger Yao instantly. His right hand reached out and grabbed her arm.

  "What are you doing?" A flash of anger appeared in Linger Yao’s eyes when Qingfeng Li grabbed her arm.

  As a woman, Linger Yao hated to be touched by a man, even when the man was Qingfeng Li.

  Shaking his head, Qingfeng Li explained, "You’re seriously wounded. Let me dissolve the corpse energy for you."

  A trace of surprise appeared in Linger Yao’s eyes. She asked doubtfully, "Can you really do that?"

  Qingfeng Li smiled slightly and said, "You saw that I was also attacked by the corpse energy from the Zombie Emperor, but now it is all gone."

  Qingfeng Li extended his palm for her inspection.

  His palm was very healthy without a trace of the poisonous corpse energy, and so was the rest of his body.

  Qingfeng Li channelled the golden flame in his body and extracted a wisp of it, containing great heat. He shot it onto Linger Yao’s arm.

  The fire expelled all the corpse aura in her arm and burnt off the rotten flesh around the black wound. After the healing was finished, Qingfeng Li put the Golden Flame back into his body.

  With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li walked towards the Zombie Emperor with strong murderous intent in his eyes. the Zombie Emperor had almost killed him and now he would pay it back.

  "Fellow, you dare to stay here after your narrow escape. Do you want me to kill you again?" Looking at Qingfeng Li, the Zombie Emperor’s eyes were full of killing intent.

  Qingfeng Li was calm at the Zombie Emperor’s threat. He said coldly, "Today I will kill you, so you can’t harm people anymore."

  In his opinion, the Zombie Emperor was even more evil that the unorthodox self-cultivators. Just a little while before, the Zombie Emperor had killed over a hundred self-cultivators in the cave before drinking their blood dry. Only a few had escaped this pathetic fate.

  If the Zombie Emperor had not focused his attention on killing Qingfeng Li, those surviving half-step Spirit Emperor Realm self-cultivators would have been dead, too.

  "Hahahaha, this is hilarious. As a mere Spirit King Realm fighter, you dare to declare your intention to kill me. Who do you think you are, reckless man?" The Zombie Emperor looked at Qingfeng Li with disdain and irony in his eyes.

  Although the Zombie Emperor had turned into a corpse, he still remembered the difference between the Spirit King Realm and the Spirt Emperor Realm. He knew that even the combined forces of ten Spirit King Realm masters was no match for one Spirit Emperor Realm master.
