Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

243 A Corpse Demon

The Black Sun’s poison had already worked into her system, wreaking havoc in her body.

“Black Sun, Dark Spirit Intimidation,” Shen Fei continued. The Black Sun, once it had retrieved its tail hook, swung it at the woman in black and released a black mist.

“Aargh…” The Black Shadow let out a shrill scream. She felt a sharp pain in her head, like her soul was about to be torn apart. She could only lie on the ground and curl up into a ball.

Shen Fei coldly stood to the side, quietly waiting for the Black Shadow to recover.

This woman had obviously encountered an unfortunate experience and was somewhat mentally deranged, so her attacks were completely based on instinct and were unpredictable.

Not long after, the Black Shadow slowly got up. Her face was filled with hatred once more, and her red eyes were even bleeding. She glared at Shen Fei with her cold and vicious eyes. Her body exuded an evil aura, like a vengeful spirit.

“Just kill me… I’m begging you… Just kill me,” the Black Shadow said hoarsely. Her voice was filled with the need for everything to end, and she was on the verge of collapse.

Shen Fei saw her shriveled body and hesitated. Even though this walking corpse was once a peerless expert, her body had long since lost all of its life essence, and she had become so thin that only a skeleton remained. Moreover, her body was shrouded in black smoke, which emitted a foul smell.

It was obvious that she had already become a corpse demon and was being controlled by a phantom known as the Black Shadow.

“Kill me… Just kill me!” The Black Shadow seemed to have sensed Shen Fei’s hesitation. Her voice became even hoarser, and her red eyes stared at Shen Fei with a trace of pleading, hoping that he would free her.

Shen Fei sighed. He understood that the Black Shadow really wanted to be free. If he had known sooner, he would not have used the Ancient Prestige skill.

Shen Fei shook his head and sighed. “Forget it. Let me send you on your last journey and help you end your pain.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Shadow disappeared. In the next moment, a wisp of pitch-black and blue suddenly made a noise in Shen Fei’s ears, as if a ghost was whispering to him.

Shen Fei’s expression turned serious. His body suddenly shifted to the side, and his right hand smashed at the sound. His fist smashed onto a thick tree branch. On the other end of the branch was a snake’s tail, which held a translucent bead, about the size of a green bean.

“So, it’s Gu poison. No, your poison is the product of the combination of the Gu techniques in the poison-making world…” Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of doubt.

He had never thought that this woman would possess such an incredibly powerful item. The bead was cone-shaped and covered in veined patterns. It gave off a faint green luster, and with a single glance, one could tell that it contained boundless energy. It was extraordinary.

However, this bead clearly did not belong to the corpse. Shen Fei guessed that the reason why the corpse turned into a corpse demon might be related to this bead.

The huge snake tail suddenly retracted, disappearing in a blur. Shen Fei frowned. He could feel faint fluctuations in the surroundings.

In the next moment, a dense and sharp sword ray streaked across the sky, directly aimed at Shen Fei’s head.

Shen Fei snorted. He took a step forward and sent out a roundhouse kick. His roundhouse kick was extremely powerful. It brought with it a rushing sound and shattered the sword ray.

Shen Fei’s feet did not stop as he swept his foot into the air, forcing the Black Shadow to reveal itself.

Just as the Black Shadow appeared, Shen Fei commanded the Black Sun, “Black Sun, destroy her!”

“Graar!” the Black Sun roared and pounced forward.

“Black Sun, you shouldn’t have come out…” The Black Shadow growled and struggled madly. She exuded a monstrously evil aura, even as she tried to escape her bonds.

Her speed was extremely fast, and she crossed a distance of several meters with each teleporting jump. She had rushed into the forest in a blink.

“Black Sun, chase her. Don’t let her escape,” Shen Fei said to the Black Sun and then gave chase as well.

…

The forest was still lush, and the weeds were still overgrown.

Shen Fei followed behind the Black Shadow. He and the black figure sped on and gradually disappeared from sight. The Black Sun was following closely behind the Black Shadow as well. Its huge body zipped through the forest, stirring up a strong wind.

Suddenly, the Black Sun opened its mouth and let out a roar, “Graar!”

Its entire body was emitting black smoke, and it became pure darkness. Its aura became even more terrifying, and its body became even more agile. After a few flashes, it disappeared from its original spot.

At the same time, the Black Shadow stopped and turned to look behind. She saw the Black Sun’s figure appear less than five meters behind her, its blood-red eyes pinned on her.

“Hehe, since we’re already here, why are you still running?” Shen Fei asked with a smile.

This woman’s cultivation was truly terrifying. It had actually surpassed the realm of a martial apprentice. Her body, at this point, was also unusual. It was becoming less human, and more like the corpse demon she was.

“Why don’t you kill me?” The Black Shadow’s voice was low and hoarse. Her throat seemed to have been burned, and it was unpleasant to hear.

“Why would I kill you? You didn’t offend us. You can only choose to submit now.” Shen Fei shrugged.

The Black Shadow heard this, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. “I’m just a corpse now… Who else is there for me to submit to?”

Her face was filled with sorrow. She used to be an expert who commanded the entire southern border, but it was a pity that everything was ruined. She had become a corpse demon, and would never be able to get rid of this rotten, bloodthirsty, and violent state.

“We don’t mind what you’ve become,” Shen Fei said. “What I want is a puppet. As long as you’re willing to submit to me, I can help you recover your body, and even help you raise your cultivation.”

The Black Shadow raised her head, her red eyes lit up. She gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t need to recover my physical body. I just want to be free…”

“You’re already a corpse demon. No matter how hard you try, your cultivation won’t improve,” Shen Fei said.

The Black Shadow was silent.

Shen Fei continued to ask, “Do you want to be resurrected?”

The Black Shadow still did not speak.

Shen Fei asked again, “Your corpse demon power isn’t your own, right? You must have absorbed it from a corpse, right?”

The Black Shadow remained silent, which could be taken as an admission.

“Don’t you want vengeance?” Shen Fei continued. “Your corpse was refined by a Gu master, I think you should be very familiar with Gu masters.”

“Yes.” The Black Shadow nodded. “A Gu master, as the name implies, is skilled in using all kinds of poisonous insects, and can even refine materials for their Gu poisons.”

Gu worms were capable of taking the life of an expert, especially so in the hands of a Gu master.

Shen Fei chuckled. “Do you want to get rid of the Gu poison in your body? If I help you get rid of the Gu poison, would you be willing to be my puppet?”

“Really?” The Black Shadow was overjoyed. Her eyes flickered with anticipation, and she said excitedly, “Can I recover my human body and even cultivate?”

Shen Fei smiled and nodded.
