28 Corpse Pills
"Who launched a sneak attack on this place?" The Xuan Yin Sect member blocked the exit and asked with a sneer.
"Reporting to you, sir, it was a young swordsman with a knife who killed anyone he saw. I barely escaped with my life," Er Baozi quickly replied.
The Xuan Yin Sect member chuckled coldly, saying, 'Very well. We were planning to slowly accumulate blood offerings, but we didn't expect there to be such a bold individual who exposed themselves so easily.'
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Erbaozi by the neck with one hand.
"My lord, spare me! I didn't hear anything!" Erbaozi quickly begged for mercy.
'You're a blood-eating being too, how can I let you go?' With that, he tossed the ghoul to the ground as easily as crushing clay. Then, sensing something, he strode towards his ghoul.
He Chen punched the ghoul to the ground, feeling incredibly satisfied. One punch landed on its arm, but instead of breaking it, it dented like metal. Another punch landed on its chest, but it didn't die; its chest just caved in a little.
The ghoul was smashed so hard that it screamed in agony, its cries echoing throughout the room, sounding as if it had been bullied! He Chen was still going to continue his study.
"Stop!" The Xuan Yin Sect member shouted as he looked at the ghoul being beaten on the ground. Then, a hidden weapon resembling ghost fire swiftly attacked He Chen!
He Chen retreated half a step, missing his target!
The Xuan Yin Sect members, carrying skull-shaped magical artifacts, approached the ghoul. Their eyes gleamed with golden light; their ghoul had consumed a large amount of blood energy and was about to break through!
Then, looking at He Chen's blood-red aura, he thought happily, 'My little darling who fed you to me can probably break through to the sixth rank now. When I get back, I'll be an elder, hehe. Holy Maiden, watch how I deal with you, I'll turn you into a female ghost, hehe!'
Thinking of this, and then of the stunning beauty behind the saintess's veil, he couldn't help but chuckle, his voice strange.
He Chen looked at the spot on the ground where the ghostly fire had struck, corroding a large hole in the stone, and thought to himself, 'What a vicious and insidious trick.'
With his sword in hand, the gentleman demanded sharply, "So you're the one behind this? Wasn't this place supposed to be government-run mining?"
The Xuan Yin Sect member chuckled, "It's just a little trick. This iron mine is real, but we're just trying to slowly collect blood offerings without attracting too much attention."
But now that I'm almost there, I'll feed you to my baby and then leave. Who will know? Besides, this place is a small arena for power struggles now; who cares?
It's like looking at a dead person and having them reveal their brilliant scheme. It feels so satisfying. Otherwise, with such a good plan and so many results, wouldn't it be a waste of my intelligence to not share it with someone?
No wonder so many people talk a lot; it turns out everyone wants to show off, especially when talking to someone who is about to die.
Upon hearing this, He Chen was secretly surprised and asked, "Is it true that the local government no longer wants to manage this area, or has the magistrate been bribed by you?"
The Xuan Yin Sect member said, 'Don't overthink it. Such complicated matters are not for you to meddle in. Besides, you're about to become my precious meal. Just obediently offer your neck and kill yourself; it's better to die in agony than watch yourself being eaten!'
Then, as the skeleton artifact appeared, several faster and darker will-o'-the-wisps, like blinking eyes, tried to sneak up on He Chen.
He Chenyun moved with the speed of wind, shifting freely within a thousand feet, but instead of dodging, he charged directly into the flying ghost fire while the Xuan Yin Sect members were still in shock.
With a hissing sound, five layers of bell covers were broken, and the clothes were corroded with large holes. He Chen himself came in front of this person and slashed out with his sword in mid-air. The power was so great and the speed was like lightning. He slashed five times in one stroke.
The Xuan Yin Sect members were about to rejoice at their sudden attack on He Chen, whose clothes had been corroded, when a large sword came at them. They quickly slashed horizontally with their skull magic weapon to block, but four other swords appeared out of thin air and severed their limbs, which fell to the ground.
All that could be heard were the screams of pain from the Xuan Yin Sect members!
He Chen casually kicked the man to the ghoul who was silently recovering. The ghoul was stunned for a moment, and then actually started chewing on him.
The Xuan Yin Sect members, enduring the pain, cried out, "Stop! Stop! Save me! Please! Save me! I'll give you gold, magical artifacts, and treasures! Please!"
But soon all was quiet. In the still night, the cold wind howled all around, and the sound of chewing could be heard incessantly. A chilling atmosphere filled the air, making one shudder!
Moreover, the ghoul's aura grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, ghostly flames ignited from its claws, marking a breakthrough to the sixth rank. True Qi could now be attached to objects, and spiritual energy could be liquefied. By borrowing from objects, it could injure people from a distance—truly formidable! At the sixth rank, it also developed a sliver of intelligence.
"Hehe, thank you so much," the voice mumbled, "To repay you, let us become one, and live forever."
He Chen watched silently, then suddenly burst into laughter, 'Finally broken through! Looks like your Corpse Core should be worth even more now.'
Upon hearing this, the ghoul was furious. Moreover, the increased power made it even more tempting. The aroma of He Chen's delicious food made its mouth water!
Then, it roared, 'Hehehe, I'm going to eat you! You smell so good!'
Then the claws suddenly attacked, with eerie will-o'-the-wisps above, making my scalp tingle!
"Well done!" He Chen shouted, taking a step forward. His broadsword swept across the air, slashing towards the ghoul's head. The slash was as powerful as Mount Tai pressing down.
'Clang, clang,'... Five metallic clanging sounds rang out, yet the limbs weren't severed with a single strike.
It's okay, keep going. The ghoul was in excruciating pain and turned to run away.
Having gained wisdom, they no longer blindly seek battle, but instead feel fear!
He Chen moved with lightning speed, covering a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. He combined his five swords into one, slashing horizontally at the ghoul's waist as if splitting Mount Hua in two. The ghoul fell to the ground, but no blood flowed. He Chen pressed his advantage without hesitation. Without a word, his Gentleman's Blade flashed down, severing the ghoul's head.
[650 kill points added!]
Then, after breaking open the skull and carefully feeling around, he found the corpse pill. It should be said that the corpse pill was neither scarlet nor pitch black, but actually red, bright red. It was truly amazing!
A sixth-tier corpse pill, that's valuable, extremely rare! I'll put it into my storage bag!
Then, he activated the Thunderfire Heart Technique, and instantly the Gentleman's Blade in his hand turned completely red, with flashes of fire and lightning. The blade pierced into the corpse, which then burst into flames as if it were on fire, filling the air with a disgusting stench. It was truly horribly ugly!
There was no time to worry about anything else at that moment. He immediately burned all the other severed limbs to ashes, then walked backward with his knife. Of course, he had to kill all the evil ones. He wanted to see if any had escaped and also check if the corpse-controller had any belongings.
