The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 360: The Melee

Chu Xuan? Chu Xuan!

In Wei Ji's heart, Chu Xuan was the one and only Nascent Soul cultivator in this world. During the Mystic Azure battle, Chu Xuan single-handedly defeated Zhao Kai and the other cultivators from the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace. Even the dragon puppet that Zhao Kai had summoned was casually taken by Chu Xuan.

What followed in the Heavenly Infinite Sect only deepened Wei Ji's fear and awe toward Chu Xuan. Even now, when he thought about the new sect regulations that Chu Xuan had introduced to "push" disciples to grow, his spine still tingled with discomfort.

When they arrived at the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, after being ambushed by righteous cultivators in Heaven-Six City, they lost contact with Chu Xuan. At first, Wei Ji had assumed that Chu Xuan, being so powerful, would surely escape and that they might meet him again someday. But as time passed and he never saw Chu Xuan's figure, he gradually began to forget about him.

Now, hearing Shang Xingchen mention his name, Wei Ji's heart suddenly leapt into his throat.

"Are you sure? Is it really him?" Wei Ji's voice trembled with uncertainty.

Shang Xingchen stroked his chin, his eyes squinting as he studied the figure from afar. "Yes, it's him... Wait, no... It doesn't quite seem like him..."

Wei Ji felt his emotions surge dramatically, almost choking on the confusion and uncertainty.

"Could you please speak clearly?" Wei Ji gritted his teeth, struggling to keep calm.

Shang Xingchen smiled faintly. "It's too far. I can't make out the details clearly."

He paused, then added, "But after thinking about it, I don't think it's Chu Xuan. It's probably just someone who looks like him."

Wei Ji froze. "Why do you think that?"

Shang Xingchen casually answered, "If it were really Chu Xuan, and he saw the situation unfolding here, do you think he'd reveal himself so easily? Do you think he'd let us spot him?"

Wei Ji took a moment to think. "No, he'd stay hidden, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."

"Exactly," Shang Xingchen continued. "Someone who can't hold back and jumps right into the fray like this is definitely not Chu Xuan."

With a grin, Shang Xingchen added, "Actually, it's quite easy to test if someone's really Chu Xuan."

Wei Ji blinked in confusion. "Easy?"

Shang Xingchen smiled knowingly. "Yes, wait for him to make a move."

Wei Ji thought about it and nodded. He realized Shang Xingchen was right. After all, they'd fought alongside Chu Xuan before and knew his methods. If Chu Xuan had his eye on this large spiritual stone mine, he would undoubtedly take action. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

As long as they saw someone using Chu Xuan's familiar techniques, they'd be able to confirm with certainty that it was him.

At this moment, Wei Ji's emotions were conflicted. On one hand, he looked forward to Chu Xuan's appearance. After all, the three of them were all cultivators from the Heavenly Infinite Sect, which meant they knew each other well and would be more suited to working together.

On the other hand, he was reluctant for Chu Xuan to show up. With Chu Xuan's strength and abilities, if he realized what was happening in the battle, it was likely that... the large spiritual stone mine would no longer be theirs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More cultivators were forced to join the battle. The cultivators at the center of the fight were no fools. They wouldn't let the ones waiting on the sidelines take advantage of their hard work.

So, the cultivators in the thick of the battle often deliberately targeted those hiding on the edges, forcing them into the fray. As a result, the battle became even more chaotic. Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji weren't exempt—they too were drawn into the maelstrom.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Chu Xuan stood quietly, his aura completely retracted, watching as the cultivators fought fiercely. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his move. His breath-concealing technique wasn't particularly sophisticated, but the cultivators engaged in battle were all suffering from varying degrees of weakened cultivation. Most had fallen to the Golden Core stage. And with the ongoing, intense battle, they were too focused on their enemies to notice anything around them. With no trace of his aura leaking out and his temperament under control, if these cultivators could still sense his presence, then something was seriously wrong.

"Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji are here, too. They haven't suffered too much of a decline in their cultivation. They probably took over a spiritual stone mine."

Chu Xuan observed the battlefield filled with flickering shadows, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Apart from Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji, he spotted many familiar faces. But they were mostly fleeting acquaintances.

"Let them fight it out," he mused. "Once they've exhausted their tricks, I'll step in."

Chu Xuan remained completely at ease. Even though several spells passed dangerously close to him, he didn't flinch. After all, the spells weren't aimed at him. There was no need to dodge. If he dodged, his Spiritual Qi would fluctuate and he'd be detected.

He was in no rush. The best time to strike was when everyone else had spent their resources and were no longer a threat. Chu Xuan knew how to wait for the perfect moment to enter.

The battle raged on. Many Nascent Soul cultivators had already fallen, their corpses littering the ground. Their faces still carried traces of unwillingness in death. In their respective cultivation realms, they were once Nascent Soul Ancestors, held in high esteem, revered and respected by thousands.

With a single order, legions of cultivators would carry out their every command. But here, on this battlefield, they were no more than pawns, fighting to the death. And worse, their Spiritual Qi had greatly diminished. Many were only at the Golden Core stage, and to put it bluntly, they died with less dignity than a dog.

The cultivators who considered themselves weaker or had sustained serious injuries gritted their teeth and fled the battlefield, retreating far away, unwilling to fight any longer.

Wei Ji was among them. He could only rely on his puppet beasts for protection, accelerating his escape.

Now, only the most powerful cultivators remained in battle. From Heavenly Infinite Sect, Shang Xingchen. From Falling Sun Demon Fortress, Dong Qi. From Heavenly Corpse Palace, Su Jue. From Celestial Sound Zen Temple, Miaochan. And from Red Flame Temple, Song Lingfeng.

Indeed, even the righteous cultivators had set their sights on this large spiritual stone mine. In the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, large spiritual stone mines were few and far between. Every one of them was now crucial for survival, a key to holding on until the very end.

Among these five, Song Lingfeng was the most powerful. A Nascent Soul Ninth Layer cultivator, his strength hadn't declined significantly and he still retained the battle power of the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage.

Moreover, Song Lingfeng commanded two Nascent Soul-tier puppets: one a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Puppet Tiger, the other a Nascent Soul Early-Stage Puppet Wolf. With these, he absolutely dominated the battlefield.

Shang Xingchen, Su Jue, and Dong Qi had fought through several rounds of intense combat, and were now severely wounded. If the battle continued, they would inevitably lose. However, their spiritual stones and elixirs were almost depleted. If they couldn't achieve something from this battle, even if they miraculously escaped, it would all be in vain.

Song Lingfeng laughed loudly, "Master Miaochan, these three devils are running out of steam! We should strike now and kill them! After this, we'll take over the large spiritual stone mine together! The ones on the left, leave them to me!"

Miaochan nodded, "Eliminating demons and defending the righteous path is my duty!" She spoke, then slammed her hands on her ancient zither. The sound waves from the zither were sharp as a blade, targeting Dong Qi.

At the same time, Song Lingfeng summoned his massive magic treasure hammer, bringing it down with tremendous force! But it wasn't aimed at Shang Xingchen or Su Jue. No, the hammer was aimed straight at Miaochan!

Feeling the powerful gust of wind coming from behind, Miaochan's expression changed drastically. She immediately threw out a white whisk, "Song Lingfeng! Why are you attacking me!"

Song Lingfeng grinned wickedly, "If you hadn't been holding back, I would have killed these three devil cultivators a long time ago! I'm killing you first!"
