Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 654 - 476 Terrifying Prison-level Demon_1

The ghoul, enveloped in pitch black and exuding incessant, ice-cold auras, suddenly burst forth. With the flapping of its bat-like wings, an eerie wind materialized between heaven and earth, and the temperature dropped so low that large patches of frost appeared out of the void.

"Coming at me?" Gu Chen frowned with consternation. Compared to the severely injured barbarian clan leader, Yelanbar, his own blood energy was naturally more vigorous, masculine, and intense, making him a favorite of the ghoul.

If it could successfully devour him, even a ghoul of this level would see a significant increase in strength.

Seeing this, Gu Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light. He stood firm, without dodging, and with a single palm strike, he collided with the sinister claws of the approaching ghoul.

Bang!

The void trembled, cracks appeared between heaven and earth, and as Gu Chen's palm collided with the ghoul's claws, he felt an extremely cold aura invading his body through the ghoul's palm.

Boom!

In the next instant, Gu Chen's eyes flickered uncertainly as the Tri-Yang True Qi within him erupted, instantly incinerating the invading cold aura to ash.

But at that moment, a hint of mockery flickered through the ghoul's pitch-black pupils devoid of any brightness, and Gu Chen caught it.

It was surprising to see such humanized emotions in the eyes of a ghoul, leaving Gu Chen somewhat astonished.

Before he could ponder it deeply, the ghoul before him opened its mouth and emitted a piercing screech.

"Ao!"

It was like a wraith howling, the sound piercingly sharp. Being so close, Gu Chen's body trembled instantly, and even with the Heavenly Martial Arts, God Tempering Heart Sutras protecting his body, he couldn't help feeling a stabbing pain in his mind, as if his soul was being torn in two.

The ghoul's tactics were somewhat horrifying!

Hiss!

At that moment, a flash of cold light streaked through the space, and the ghoul stretched out its sharp claws, aiming for Gu Chen's chest.

As the cold gleam flashed, even heaven and earth seemed to be cloven in two. It was evident that the ghoul's claws were extremely sharp!

Clang!

At the critical moment, Gu Chen reacted, extending his arm to block. The ghoul's claws passed over his arm and actually drew out beads of blood.

This sight was undoubtedly astonishing—the ghoul's claws could actually breach Gu Chen's unyieldingly tough body!

This was nearly sharper than some of the most legendary divine weapons!

Moreover, at the wounds Gu Chen had suffered, strands of black gas spread, with the ghoul's claws containing potent toxicity. Thankfully, Gu Chen's nature was supremely yang and resolute, with his Three Suns Scorch the Heavens Skill circulating within, unafraid of any toxins and sinister auras, otherwise he would have been in danger.

"Worthy of being a ghoul of this level," commented Gu Chen gravely, not daring to be the least bit careless.

But what concerned him most was the flicker of human-like emotion he had just seen in the ghoul's pupils.

Theoretically, ghouls shouldn't possess high intelligence; even the underworld ghouls were no exception. Although they were stronger than other ghouls, they hadn't reached this level.

If a ghoul of this level had intelligence comparable to that of the Human Clan, then the difficulty of slaying it would undoubtedly increase tremendously.

Furthermore, how troublesome would it be if such a powerful ghoul fused with a warrior of the demonic sect?

Gu Chen was certain that once a warrior successfully merged with a ghoul of this level, they would become a top master of the Coagulation Field realm, and their strength would be extraordinary, not something an ordinary cultivator in the Coagulation Field realm could contend with.

This only added to the weight on Gu Chen's heart.

The only consolation for Gu Chen was that the demonic sect, having been decimated by his actions, had few strong warriors left; there remained only the so-called two great envoys and the sect leader, Dugu Yun.

Whoosh!

As Gu Chen was deep in thought, the ghoul once again charged at him. Its body was also incredibly tough, such that even Gu Chen would have a hard time shattering it with ease.

"Hmm?"

Then, much to Gu Chen's surprise, as he attempted to use the God Tempering Heart Sutras to see if he could control or at least influence the ghoul before him, he failed.

His divine consciousness couldn't affect the ghoul in the slightest. In fact, the dense, sinister aura from the ghoul nearly contaminated Gu Chen's divine consciousness in return.

But what truly shocked Gu Chen was that the ghoul before him suddenly transformed into a cloud of black mist, disintegrating entirely.

"What's going on?" Gu Chen watched this scene with astonishment in his eyes.

And the next moment, the black gases suddenly surged toward all the pores around Gu Chen's body, seeking to invade and take complete control of him.

"To turn substance into void, the ghoul actually possesses such a method?" In that moment, Gu Chen felt waves of coldness throughout his body. At the same time, he realized he was stiffened in place, as a force contended with him for control over his body.

Not only that, but the ghoul's sinister power was also assaulting his internal parts, including his flesh, bones, and organs.

If these parts were corroded by the ghoul's power, Gu Chen would be severely injured, losing control over himself and fully becoming the ghoul's puppet.

It could be said that ghouls, no matter their strength or tactics, were extremely terrifying and unfathomable.

Especially now, as the ghoul turned from substance to void and surged into a warrior's body, even the pinnacle fighters of the Coagulation Field might not be able to withstand it.
