Chapter 1683 - 1683: Scaring Off the Corpse Ghost Dragon

Watching Huangfu Ziyu rise into the air with the Sun Shooting Bow, Divine Doctor An Shiping was slightly surprised, and then softly said: "Unexpectedly, the Sun Shooting Bow has actually been restored. It seems it is indeed this era!"Everyone was staring at Huangfu Ziyu, and no one noticed the words of Divine Doctor An Shiping. Otherwise, they would have been amazed and wondered what Divine Doctor An Shiping meant by this era?

Huangfu Ziyu flew directly above the manor, based on the sound of the Corpse Ghost Dragon within the manor, she located its position. Following Divine Doctor An Shiping's instructions, she opened the porcelain bottle and sprinkled all the medicine powder inside. The powder floated down and landed entirely in the sea of fire.

Everyone was watching intently, uncertain what Divine Doctor An Shiping's intentions were. Moreover, after the powder was sprinkled, there didn't seem to be any special changes in the sea of fire; it looked exactly the same as before, which puzzled everyone further.

"Divine Doctor An, what is this medicine powder for?" Shen Tianjun couldn't help but ask, as the matter of confronting the Corpse Ghost Dragon was not to be taken lightly by anyone.

An Shiping smiled faintly, looked at the returning Huangfu Ziyu, nodded lightly, and said, "You'll understand in a moment."

Everyone exchanged glances; although they were curious, they didn't ask further questions. An Shiping's confident demeanor indicated a deeper meaning behind his actions.

About half a minute later, the roar of the Corpse Ghost Dragon in the sea of fire suddenly changed. Previously, its voice sounded pained yet loud, as if the pain was still bearable. However, at this moment, it seemed particularly tormented, as if the pain had penetrated to its bones, and its cries were especially piercing.

"Huh, what's happening?" Ding Lianshun exclaimed in curiosity. The Corpse Ghost Dragon's cries had clearly lost their previous confidence. At this moment, its cries sounded almost hysterical. And it was obvious that the Corpse Ghost Dragon was frantically running outwards, seemingly trying to escape the sea of fire.

"Hahaha..." An Shiping laughed heartily and said, "Corpse Ghost Dragon, does the taste of the Purple Lotus Flower feel good?"

"Who exactly are you!" The distant voice of the frantic Corpse Ghost Dragon yelled: "How do you know about the Purple Lotus Flower?"

An Shiping replied loudly: "You have entered Beimang Mountain, I have been through the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates; everything you learned at Beimang Mountain, I can predict. You think using the karma fire to purify your human-shaped Gu makes it more pure? The Purple Lotus Flower's severe damage will at least cost you one-tenth of your cultivation power!"

"You've been through the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates? You... are you An Shiping?" The Corpse Ghost Dragon's voice suddenly shifted to a roar: "Impossible! Impossible! You died thirty years ago! You died thirty years ago! How can you still be alive? Impossible, you can't still be alive?"

"If you can fake death for thirty years, why can't I?" An Shiping laughed: "I know you've calculated my affairs, but I had the True Buddha help me to disrupt the heavenly order long ago, even Shijia Wuji cannot calculate my affairs, let alone you. Thirty years have passed, and finally, we meet!"

"You... you actually waited for thirty whole years!" The Corpse Ghost Dragon's voice clearly held panic, angrily shouting: "An Shiping, what deep scheming you have. Unexpectedly, I was deceived by you!"

An Shiping said, "Didn't you also wait for thirty years? It's just a pity that thirty years later, this world is still not yours. Corpse Ghost Dragon, I advise you to create more good karma and stop committing slaughter. Otherwise, even if you escape fate, this time will still leave you with nowhere to be buried!"

"An Shiping, you do not need to preach to me. Even if you haven't died, what does it matter?" Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted angrily: "An Shiping, you simply can't kill me; this world will always hold me as reverence!"

"I may not be able to kill you, but this world is not without someone who can." An Shiping paused, then suddenly said loudly: "Corpse Ghost Dragon, do you remember Wu Tianchi!"

"Wu Tianchi!?" At hearing these three words, not only did the Corpse Ghost Dragon cry out in surprise, but even Ye Qing, Shen Tianjun, Ding Lianshun, and others beside them turned pale. They had learned about Wu Tianchi at Beimang Mountain, and who would have thought An Shiping would mention it again. Just who is Wu Tianchi?

An Shiping spoke loudly: "Thirty years ago, you ambushed Wu Tianchi during his Nirvana, did you think you could kill him? In thirty years, Wu Tianchi has long restored his vital energy. It's just that he couldn't be bothered with you. Corpse Ghost Dragon, I advise you not to attack ordinary people. Otherwise, Wu Tianchi will certainly come to find you personally!"

"How do you know about Wu Tianchi?" Corpse Ghost Dragon said gravely: "Thirty years ago, when I ambushed Wu Tianchi, you had already faked your death. How do you know about external affairs? No one in this world could know about Wu Tianchi; where... where did you get this information?"

An Shiping laughed heartily and said, "Wu Tianchi was ambushed by you and his primordial embryo was injured. How do you think he repaired it?"

"It was you!?" The Corpse Ghost Dragon became furious again, roaring, "I wondered how Wu Tianchi could recover his vital energy, it turns out you helped him repair the primordial embryo. An Shiping, you dare thwart my plans; I will never let it rest with you!"

"Corpse Ghost Dragon, you really have no sense of gratitude!" An Shiping said loudly, "If it weren't for me speaking on your behalf, do you think you could have walked out of Beimang Mountain? For so many years, Wu Tianchi has not sought you out, you should have cultivated your character by now. If you continue to act wrongly, someone will eventually take your life!"

"An Shiping, don't think I'll be grateful to you. You ruined my plans, and today you broke my divine skill, I will not let you off!" The Corpse Ghost Dragon roared, his voice gradually fading, showing that he had already left.

Shen Tianjun urgently said, "Divine Doctor An, should we pursue and kill him?"

"No need!" An Shiping shook his head decisively and said, "Although the Corpse Ghost Dragon has been severely injured by me, we still can't break his human-shaped gu. Moreover, his strength is extremely formidable, even I can't defeat him. If we pursue him, we definitely won't be able to kill him, and if he counterattacks and drains the inner strength of one or two people, it will instead enhance his own power, which would be troublesome!"

Everyone looked at each other, not expecting that even An Shiping couldn't defeat the Corpse Ghost Dragon. The strength of the Corpse Ghost Dragon was truly terrifying.

Listening to the departing vehicles of the Corpse Ghost Dragon's group, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Just now, even the incendiary bomb couldn't harm the Corpse Ghost Dragon, and their hearts were all on edge. But now that the Corpse Ghost Dragon had finally been driven away by An Shiping, their suspended hearts finally settled. No matter what, they had managed to escape danger this time.

"Divine Doctor An, what exactly was the medicine powder you threw onto the flames just now?" Helian Tiehua asked, "Why did it seem like the Corpse Ghost Dragon was severely injured after the powder was thrown into the fire?"

Everyone turned to look at An Shiping, all equally curious about this matter. Just now, An Shiping also mentioned the Purple Lotus, which was something even they had never heard of.

An Shiping smiled faintly and said, "Do you know why the Corpse Ghost Dragon, although he could obviously walk out of that sea of fire, chose not to?"

Everyone shook their heads simultaneously; they had been puzzled by this matter earlier, and no one knew the answer.

"Using this sea of fire tactic against the Corpse Ghost Dragon might have worked 30 years ago. But against the Corpse Ghost Dragon of today, it's useless." An Shiping said, "No, I shouldn't say it's useless. This sea of fire is actually quite beneficial to the Corpse Ghost Dragon!"

"Beneficial?" Everyone was even more astonished, Shen Tianjun asked curiously, "What benefit could the sea of fire have for the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"

"You don't know, the Corpse Ghost Dragon hid in the Demon Hideout Cave of Beimang Mountain for thirty years. Though he remained in a fake-death state during these thirty years, with his cautious nature, he would have ensured the safety of the location before that. Hence, before his fake-death, he undoubtedly inspected every place within the Demon Hideout Cave." An Shiping said, "And the Demon Hideout Cave is where the Great Demon King was laid to rest, filled with numerous secret techniques of the Demon Sect. Most of these are hidden near the coffin of the Great Demon King, unreachable by people. However, there are a small portion outside, which is the main reason why Demon Sect figures occasionally appear over the years."

"While the Corpse Ghost Dragon couldn't obtain those secret techniques near the coffin, he could certainly see the ones outside. Among them, the most beneficial to him should be the Indestructible Demon Body personally created by the Great Demon King. This technique is the best body cultivation secret, much like the Vajra Indestructible Body of the Buddhist Sect. Furthermore, the human-shaped gu of the Corpse Ghost Dragon also originates from this Indestructible Demon Body. If he could obtain this Indestructible Demon Body, it would certainly further enhance his human-shaped gu, making his physical strength even greater. Therefore, the Corpse Ghost Dragon has definitely practiced the Indestructible Demon Body!"

Hearing An Shiping's words, everyone was shocked. The power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon was already invincible in the world. If he became stronger, how could they possibly handle him?

"Is his immunity to the damage of the sea of fire because he practiced the Indestructible Demon Body?" Shen Tianjun asked urgently.

"Exactly!" An Shiping nodded slowly and said, "Moreover, he surely practiced the Indestructible Demon Body. Otherwise, with merely the power of his human-shaped gu, the sea of fire would have been able to burn him. Moreover, the most crucial point is that because he practiced the Indestructible Demon Body, he lingered in the sea of fire for such a long time without directly walking out!"

"Is there a connection?" The people around were all puzzled, not understanding the direct link between the Indestructible Demon Body and the Corpse Ghost Dragon staying in the sea of fire.
