The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 423

Chu Xuan's left hand sliced through the whip with the precision of a blade, while his right hand shot out in a blur, catching the massive war hammer with a single grip!

With a sudden surge of power in his arms, there was a sharp crack as the whip split into two, and another crack as the warhammer shattered into fragments, scattering across the deck.

The two robbers were immediately stunned! They exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Two top-tier magic treasures... and you shattered them with a single hand? We knew you were a Body Refining cultivator, but how is your strength this terrifying?!

Without hesitation, the robbers threw several talismans and attempted to flee toward their respective flying boats.

Chu Xuan smiled faintly, standing with his arms crossed. As the two robbers turned to flee, they suddenly froze in horror. Two corpse puppets had appeared silently behind them, standing like towering, lifeless guardians.

The aura radiating from these puppets was chilling to the core. They were clearly corpse puppets of the corpse king level!

"Shit!" One of the robbers cursed aloud.

This wasn't a defenseless lamb waiting to be slaughtered—this was a ravenous wolf ready to tear them apart!

"Fellow daoist, please don't make a move!" one of them hastily called out, his voice filled with desperation. "We were only following the orders of the Moon Association to bring you to Moon Island. Our methods were a bit rough, but please, show some understanding."

The other robber, awkwardly trying to smooth things over, also smiled nervously.

Chu Xuan returned the smile, though his expression was colder than friendly. "This is how you invite people?" he asked, his tone calm but cutting.

He slowly stroked his hands in the air.

Whoosh!

Hu darted out like a whirlwind, moving too fast for the robber to react. In an instant, it twisted the first robber's neck with a swift snap. The second robber's face turned pale, his hands trembling as he hurriedly summoned a set of flags.

Thick, dense mist immediately filled the air, suffocating all sense of space and casting a veil over the deck. This mist carried an oppressive effect on spiritual senses—he had used it countless times before with great success.

The robber hoped that, amid the fog, he would be able to make his escape. However, he never expected that Chu Xuan's spiritual sense had already surpassed the limits of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This fog, which could suppress the spiritual senses of even Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators, had no effect on Chu Xuan, who had bathed in the Soul Cleansing Golden Rain and refined the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus with boundless merits!

In the blink of an eye, the Evil Soul Chain shot out like lightning, binding the remaining robber in place with ease.

The robber struggled, but it was futile. He was now completely at Chu Xuan's mercy.

Chu Xuan approached the fallen robber, standing behind him. With a single hand raised, he gently stroked the air, invoking the soul-searching technique.

Moments later, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"So this is how it is," he murmured softly. "I've been targeted by the Moon Association. Is it because I'm a Body Refining cultivator?"

As Chu Xuan combed through the robber's memories, he learned that the two had been sent after him based on information from Sun Fan, the second-in-command of the Moon Association, and the third disciple of Moon True Master.

Further probing revealed disturbing details. The two robbers had also targeted other Body Refining cultivators in the past, all based on information provided by Sun Fan.

Every Body Refining cultivator who arrived on Moon Island was closely monitored by the association, and these cultivators were often "invited" to the island by the association's white-glove operatives.

Of course, as one of the robbers had admitted, the methods used were often brutal. Eventually, these cultivators would fall under the control of Moon True Master, losing their autonomy and being forced to serve him.

Chu Xuan found that the Moon Association had already used these tactics to control over twenty Body Refining cultivators, all at least at the thirty-first level of Body Refining. The whereabouts of these cultivators were now unknown, their fates sealed somewhere on the island.

It became clear that the reason two Nascent Soul mid-stage robbers had been sent to kill him was because Sun Fan had underestimated Chu Xuan's true strength.

Sun Fan casually took the treasure, his face softening a little. "Your thoughts are appreciated. Let me tell you, this is your only chance to redeem yourself. Make sure you grasp it. I'll speak on your behalf to Master."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for speaking on my behalf," Tie Jun said, repeatedly nodding. "I am deeply grateful!"

Without saying anything more, Sun Fan controlled the flying boat and turned it around, leaving without another word.

Tie Jun watched his retreating figure, his gaze deep and cold.

"Such a greedy man," he muttered under his breath.

...

Blue Star, one year later.

Chu Xuan looked at the three successfully hatched True Steel Centipedes, nodding in satisfaction.

Normally, five eggs would yield only one successful hatch, which was considered fortunate. To his surprise, this time, he had hatched all three.

It seemed that his innate luck was truly exceptional, with only a small contribution from his virtue.

Five years later, the three True Steel Centipedes had grown from the size of an adult arm at hatching to more than three meters long.

They had faced very few obstacles along the way and had effortlessly reached the third transformation of their kind.

Their bodies were now covered in a pitch-black, hard metal-like exoskeleton. Their terrifying jaws could crush even low-grade magic treasures with ease.

In comparison, wild gu worms and those bred by most gu masters had far slower growth rates. But under Chu Xuan's care, the centipedes had been fed an unlimited supply of their favorite blood meat and spiritual plants.

With an abundant supply of food, the True Steel Centipedes grew rapidly, unfettered by any limitations. They ate to their hearts' content and continued to thrive.
