Chapter 171 Subduing Lionrock Roar, Goodbye Hugu
In an instant, Xia Yuhui was surrounded by crimson lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth. He then directly used a lightning-summoning technique, smashing the lightning down on Lion Rock Roar like Mount Tai crushing an egg.
Lion Rock Roar was instantly struck by the lightning, its skin torn open and its entire body paralyzed.
After this initial probing, Xia Yuhui pressed on. This time, as soon as the two clashed, Lion Rock Roar suffered a great loss.
Xia Yuhui's physical body was incredibly powerful; a few flames couldn't seriously injure him. While Lion Rock Roar's physical defense was equally indestructible, it was protected by crimson lightning.
This kind of lightning not only causes horrific scars on the surface, but also sneaks into the target's interior like a ghost, burning and paralyzing its internal organs and meridians, causing the target unbearable pain.
However, Lion Rock Roar was a tough nut to crack, and it actually fought Xia Yuhui for nearly an hour before Xia Yuhui finally beat it to the ground, panting heavily.
Xia Yuhui smiled coldly and walked up to the monster that was at least five zhang tall.
"Roar!"
Like a startled lion, Lion Rock Roar immediately began to roar in a low voice. However, Xia Yuhui only glared at him coldly, and Lion Rock Roar was so frightened that it buried its head deep in its chest as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
In the battle just now, Xia Yuhui did not intend to kill the monster; he was merely torturing it to his heart's content.
At this point, the monster had probably already been beaten to a pulp by Xia Yuhui, and even escaping had become a pipe dream.
Not to mention continuing to resist, seeing the obvious submissive attitude of Lion Rock Roar, Xia Yuhui made a decisive decision and conveyed his will to the monster through soul communication.
After hearing Xia Yuhui's telepathic communication, the demonic beast, though unwilling, could only nod helplessly.
Xia Yuhui then began to use the unique beast-taming secret technique of the Xia family and Guiyun Sect. Since the beast to be tamed was a mid-grade second-tier demon beast, Xia Yuhui had prepared some items in advance.
The core of these items is a Soul-Softening Pill, which can soften a part of the demon beast's soul, ultimately allowing Xia Yuhui to more easily implant the secret technique into the demon beast's soul.
Half an hour later, Xia Yuhui successfully subdued the monster.
Upon success, Xia Yuhui activated the secret technique, and Lion Rock Roar instantly felt as if his soul was being devoured by millions of ants, experiencing excruciating pain.
The excruciating pain was like a surging tide, engulfing it and causing it to fall to the ground, writhing in agony.
After a dozen or so breaths, Xia Yuhui stopped activating the secret technique. At this time, Lion Rock Roar was covered in cold sweat, and its eyes looked at Xia Yuhui pleadingly, like those of a frightened deer.
It was so painful; this kind of excruciating pain in the soul was a thousand times, ten thousand times more intense than the physical pain.
After confirming the success of the secret technique, Xia Yuhui nodded in satisfaction and leaped directly onto the back of Lion Rock Roar.
That's right, he was just testing whether the secret technique was successful. As for whether Lion Rock Roar was in pain, that had nothing to do with him.
"Go!" Xia Yuhui gave the order, and Lion Rock Roar immediately got up and ran like an arrow.
Now, its body and soul have been severely damaged, but if it does not obey its master's orders now, the consequences will be unimaginable, so it can only endure the pain and continue running.
You should know that, judging from what he just did, his master is not a soft-hearted person.
Xia Yuhui stood firmly on the broad back of Lion Rock Roar, like an unshakable mountain. His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the ever-changing environment. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face, like a flower blooming in spring.
Lion Rock Roar moved with the speed of a whirlwind, covering tens of thousands of miles in just a few hours like a flying bird.
After Xia Yuhui arrived outside Qingshui Market, he carefully put the Lion Rock Roar into his storage bag before discreetly entering the market.
At this time, the market was gradually recovering its former glory before the war ended. Many cultivators had come out to set up stalls again, and shops selling pills and magical artifacts were springing up one after another.
Xia Yuhui was in an exceptionally good mood, and he began to look around with great interest. However, at that moment, a pungent stench of corpses entered his nostrils.
He turned his head sharply and a familiar face came into view: Zhou Gulin.
This person was the formidable rival Xia Yuhui encountered during his Qi Refining stage when vying for the Crimson Fruit; he was a Body Refining cultivator.
It seems that after agreeing to Yan Hanyun's request to kill the evil cultivator, he disappeared from Jinling County. Now, when they meet again, he has been turned into a walking corpse.
It's true what they say, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence!"
Xia Yuhui quickly followed, his heart filled with curiosity. Who was this person who had such ability to turn this person into a zombie?
After all, based on his observation, although Zhou Gulin was only at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, after being refined into a zombie, his strength had been completely transformed, making him capable of competing with ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, he was no longer Zhou Gulin, but a walking corpse or a zombie.
Soon, Xia Yuhui followed the zombie to a cave dwelling, which was rented out by the market to independent cultivators for cultivation.
After witnessing the zombie rush into the cave like a ghost, Xia Yuhui unhesitatingly released his powerful aura like a surging wave.
In a short while, the cave door slowly opened, and a man dressed in black robes walked out.
The man was utterly astonished upon seeing Xia Yuhui and exclaimed, "How could it be Fellow Daoist Chi Lei?"
Xia Yuhui stared at Hu Gu's face, also astonished. After a moment's thought, he realized that this was to be expected. This person's method of refining corpses was truly unfathomable. He could refine a body-refining cultivator like Zhou Gulin into a second-tier zombie. He must be able to do it with ease.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, I was wondering who had refined Zhou Gulin? It turns out it was you."
"Hahaha, I see. So Fellow Daoist Chi Lei came here following this zombie. It seems we are truly destined to meet."
After saying this, he stepped aside to make way for me. "Since we are so fortunate, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xia would be so kind as to come and sit in my cave for a while?"
Xia Yuhui smiled and strode inside. Hu Gu was a cunning man, and if it were before, he would definitely not have dared to enter. However, the situation was different now. Even if Hu Gu had ulterior motives, he was confident that he could deal with him calmly.
Seeing that Xia Yuhui's expression remained unchanged, Hu Gu followed him inside, but his expression was somewhat strange.
Before long, the two entered the cave. Hu Gu was a demonic cultivator. Xia Yuhui had little contact with him, only knowing that he was a demonic cultivator who was extremely skilled at refining corpses.
At this moment, his cave dwelling was quite different from those of other cultivators. Other cultivators all wanted to fill their cave dwellings with all sorts of glittering items, and Xia Yuhui was no exception.
Inside this person's cave, apart from a table and four chairs, the rest were all coffins. Moreover, those coffins looked quite peculiar; even when placed there, they could still emit a chilling aura.
Looking at the dazzling array of coffins in the cave, Xia Yuhui couldn't resist using his divine sense to investigate again. But upon doing so, he discovered an astonishing secret.
