Chapter 441: Chapter 440: White Ape Sword Immortal

In this single point, Gu Yuan’s strength is no less than its!

Besides, Zhong Tian can actually sense that within Gu Yuan’s body, there are also a few faint presences hidden very deeply.

If not for its special status, it would really be unable to sense anything.

One of them is extremely sharp, fierce, and domineering, clearly a terrifying Sword Intent.

This indicates that Gu Yuan has clearly mastered an exceedingly fearsome Swordsmanship!

Another aura is obscure and profound, yet it seems to contain a power capable of splitting heaven and earth, domineering and unparalleled.

Moreover, this power seems to be very restraining to it, even causing it to instinctively feel a bit of apprehension.

This is one reason it sought out Gu Yuan.

Such formidable strength, deserving of alliance.

Even if the sinister Elder Demon really acted up, it would be a divine ally, capable of assisting greatly in crucial moments.

One person, one demon – more accurately, one person, one corpse – were just about to take action when they saw three figures pass through layers of fog, approaching from not far away.

These three were precisely the old man Hu from the Demon Suppression Bureau of the Great Jin Dynasty, along with Qin Ming and that female loose cultivator, Xu Hui.

Seeing Gu Yuan here, Old Hu and the others were quite surprised, but didn’t find it strange.

Given Gu Yuan’s strength and cultivation, arriving earlier than them was perfectly normal.

However, when they saw Zhong Tian’s figure, they were dumbfounded.

Initially, they didn’t pay much attention, mistaking Zhong Tian for Mei Changshan.

Upon closer inspection, they were all stunned.

Zhong Tian’s appearance was truly terrifying and horrifying; the rotten flesh on his body, the foul corpse water dripping to the ground, the dark yellow scales on his chest and abdomen, and that rigid, frightening face capable of scaring normal people half to death.

Any discerning person could tell that this was definitely not a person, but a corpse, a sinister corpse!

“Fellow Daoist Gu, this is…”

The few were first startled, yet seeing Zhong Tian indifferent, merely staring coldly at them, and witnessing Gu Yuan equally unperturbed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Gu Yuan and this sinister corpse showed no sign of intending to attack.

Clearly, from the looks of it, they wouldn’t be making a move against them.

“This is Zhong Tian, Fellow Daoist Zhong, an old friend of mine.”

Gu Yuan simply explained briefly, without going into details, nor was there any need to explain further to them, just saying: “If you all could, it’s best to step back, to avoid getting caught in it.”

“Next, Fellow Daoist Zhong and I will join forces to break open this tomb; the sinister Elder Demon is hiding inside, and very likely still alive.”

Old friend?

Isn’t this a sinister corpse demon?

Gu Yuan actually has a sinister corpse as a friend?

The few exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

Hearing Gu Yuan’s subsequent words left them even more perplexed.

That sinister Elder Demon is actually hiding in the tomb, and Gu Yuan plans to join forces with this sinister corpse to break open the tomb, pulling the sinister Elder Demon out; this really sounds somewhat magical.

The three were somewhat confounded for a moment, remaining silent, uncertain of what to say.

Especially Old Hu and Qin Ming, who seemed clearly conflicted.

Stop Gu Yuan?

On what grounds?! What reason is there to stop Gu Yuan?

After all, as Captains of the Demon Suppression Bureau, they came to investigate the situation; now Gu Yuan stepping in to deal with the sinister Elder Demon is, in essence, helping them, thus logically they should support Gu Yuan.

Besides, to actually stop him, given Gu Yuan’s strength, even tying both his arms, the three of them combined are no match.

Don’t stop Gu Yuan?

Inside the tomb lies a Yin God Giant; if they casually ransacked anything from it, who knows what rare treasures it might be, potentially making them a fortune.

Once Gu Yuan truly breaks open this tomb, things would naturally go to Gu Yuan, while they, painstakingly reaching this underground cavern, would ultimately gain nothing?!

Gu Yuan didn’t pay them any more attention, exchanging a glance with Zhong Tian, nodding slightly.

There was a sense of tacit understanding between the person and the corpse.

Zhong Tian stepped forward, the whole figure seemingly shifting and transforming, pulling out a long phantom as he reached the tomb.

Raising its hand, the somewhat dry, decayed palm suddenly lit up with a dark yellow light.

This light was dim, impure, dead, and profound, exuding an oppressive, uncomfortable aura.

Then as Zhong Tian’s palm swung, a dim yellow beam of light emanated from his palm, directly blasting toward the tomb.

Boom!!!

When the light beam hit the tomb, the Restriction Spiritual Light within it erupted, colliding with the beam, sparking a splendor of grey-yellow brilliance.

Waves of shockwaves, like a tornado, fiercely and rapidly surged in all directions.

The surrounding fog was also swept away in rejection.

This strike was formidable in momentum, causing Old Hu and the others to recoil hurriedly in panic.

Meanwhile, they also activated their Protective Magical Artifacts, Body-Protecting Divine Techniques, and the like.

Despite this, the few felt their faces pale, oppressed by the incoming Spiritual Pressure, barely able to stand.

Zhong Tian’s strike had clearly far exceeded their expectations.

This single strike was enough to slaughter the three of them!

Fortunately, this sinister corpse was somewhat odd, seemingly possessing sufficient Spiritual Wisdom, although the reason for his seemingly decent relationship with Gu Yuan is unclear, but at least it wouldn’t attack them.

As for Gu Yuan, he was slightly surprised, clearly taken aback.

Gu Yuan’s surprise wasn’t due to the potency of Zhong Tian’s strike, but rather that this attack, though merely a simple blast of internal corpse and death Qi, contained within it a Sword Intent of extreme purity.

Though faint, it was enough to catch Gu Yuan off guard.

Because Zhong Tian’s identity seems clearly to be nothing more than a Yellow Springs Demon Corpse.

Thus the source of this Sword Intent could only be, unsurprisingly, the extraordinary Sword Skill Divine Techniques mastered during its lifetime.

A Sword Intent lingering within, refusing to disperse, capable of stimulating some power even post-mortem, as an undead!

Though this Sword Intent was feeble, in Gu Yuan’s perspective, it was indeed incredibly pure, and by no means inferior to Gu Yuan himself, which left Gu Yuan quite astonished.

Considering its pre-death identity as a disciple of White Ape Mountain, and possibly even a student of the renowned White Ape Sword Immortal from White Ape Mountain.

That White Ape Sword Immortal, whose name Gu Yuan doesn’t know, was renowned long ago, with qualifications surpassing even the Supreme Elder Zhu Que Shenjun of Medicine King Mountain and Ancestor Danxia.

It’s said that this Sword Immortal had been renowned globally four or five thousand years ago.

This “man’s” true form was not human, but a mountain-dwelling white ape.

Legend had it that this white ape was innately intelligent, stumbled upon celestial fortune, later comprehending the universe’s mysteries, taking nature as a mentor, mastering unparalleled Swordsmanship, forging the Yang Spirit Dao Fruit, claiming the title of White Ape Sword Immortal.
