Li Qingge closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Li Qingge opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a familiar figure standing in front of him, waving a long sword in his hand, bringing up bursts of sword energy, forcing all the monsters back.
"Chen Yang?!" Li Qingge shouted in surprise.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Yang asked without turning his head, the sword in his hand kept swinging, killing the monsters one by one.
"I'm fine, just a little hurt."
Li Qingge shook his head and struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground again weakly.
"Don't be so stubborn, leave this to me."
As Chen Yang spoke, he swung his sword and split a monster that was trying to sneak attack Li Qingge into two halves.
Warm blood splashed on his face again. The monster that was killed instantly made Li Qingge feel completely relieved, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"Why did you come just now? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you..."
Li Qingge looked at Chen Yang aggrievedly, his eyes slightly red.
"Sorry, I met an old friend on the way and was delayed for a while."
Chen Yang said calmly, without any emotion in his tone.
"Did you waste some time? Did you know I'm here..."
Li Qingge wanted to complain a few more words, but was frightened by Chen Yang's cold eyes and swallowed the rest of his words.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's get out of here first."
As Chen Yang spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Li Qingge up from the ground, put his arm around her waist, tapped her toes lightly, and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the depths of the tunnel.
Li Qingge only felt the whistling of the wind in his ears and the scenery in front of him rapidly receding, while he was held tightly in Chen Yang's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat and warm breath.
For some reason, Li Qingge's originally nervous mood miraculously calmed down at this moment.
She raised her head and looked at Chen Yang's angular profile, and suddenly a strange emotion surged in her heart.
"Hello, Chen Yang..."
"Um?"
"You..." Li Qingge opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly stopped and looked forward vigilantly.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingge asked puzzledly.
"There is someone in front." Chen Yang said lightly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"People?" Li Qingge was shocked and looked in the direction Chen Yang was looking.
At the end of the corridor not far away, a vague figure actually appeared.
Chen Yang and Li Qingge looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
In their previous explorations, they had never detected any trace of a third party in this corridor. This sudden appearance of a figure was indeed eerie.
"Who?"
Chen Yang protected Li Qingge behind him and asked in a deep voice with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
However, the other party seemed to have heard nothing and continued to walk towards them slowly, with stiff steps, like a puppet.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Why aren't you answering my question when you're playing tricks on me, fellow Taoist?!"
Li Qingge was a little annoyed, after having been chased and now in such a strange environment.
It is difficult for her to regain her composure now.
Chen Yang didn't say anything, but just narrowed his eyes slightly and tightened the Seven Deadly Sword in his hand.
His intuition told him that the man before him was no ordinary person. As the figure drew closer, a chilling aura blew over him, causing Li Qingge to shudder.
"He...seems a little strange..."
Li Qingge's voice was trembling. She tightly grasped the corner of Chen Yang's clothes and hid behind him, daring only to stick out half of her head to observe him.
When the figure was less than ten steps away from them, Chen Yang finally saw the other person's true face.
It was indeed a person, or rather, it had been a person.
He was wearing a tattered cloth covered with wounds of varying sizes. Some of the wounds had even rotted away, revealing his bones.
What’s even more creepy is that his face, neck, and even his exposed arms are covered with strange black lines.
Those lines seemed like living things, wriggling constantly under the skin, making people's scalps tingle.
"What the hell is this?!"
Li Qingge screamed in shock and quickly hid behind Chen Yang, not daring to look again.
If she were to deal with spirit beasts or something, no matter how strong the opponent was, she would dare to draw her sword and swing her knife.
But this was the first time she had seen such a strange and creepy person.
Chen Yang did not answer, but he already had the answer in his heart.
The evil spirit has entered the body and the mind is completely gone. It is clearly a walking corpse corroded by the evil spirit!
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes.
He shook his wrist and swung the Seven Deadly Sword violently. A sharp sword energy broke through the air and went straight to the center of the eyebrows of the evil corpse.
However, to Chen Yang's surprise, the evil corpse did not dodge or evade, but took his sword head-on!
"clang!"
There was a sound of metal clashing, and Chen Yang felt a huge force coming from the sword, which made his palm numb.
With the help of the recoil force, he took Li Qingge back four or five steps again, to a safer distance, before he stabilized his body.
Looking closely, I saw that there was only a shallow white mark left between the eyebrows of the evil corpse.
However, he seemed to feel no pain at all and continued walking towards them, even faster than before!
"As expected, after the evil spirit entered the body and turned into an evil corpse, although the spiritual energy was completely gone, the realm disappeared."
"But the body strengthened by evil spirit is the most troublesome existence."
"The body of this ghost thing should have reached the level of a Jindan cultivator."
Chen Yang felt a little heavy in his heart. With the previous test, he had already collected a lot of things he wanted.
"Chen Yang, what should we do?"
Li Qingge also felt something was wrong. She grabbed Chen Yang's arm tightly, her eyes full of fear.
Chen Yang didn't say anything, but just pulled Li Qingge behind him. At the same time, he swung the Seven Deadly Swords in his hand again, and sharp sword energy whizzed out and attacked the evil corpse.
However, this time, the evil corpse did not take it head-on, but just shook his body.
The originally crooked body suddenly dodged Chen Yang's attack at an incredible speed!
Then, under the surprised gaze of the two, he suddenly pounced on Li Qingge who was farther away from him!
"careful!"
Chen Yang's expression changed slightly. He never expected that the target of this evil corpse was not him, but Li Qingge!
However, Chen Yang's speed and reaction were also extremely fast. Almost at the moment when the evil corpse pounced on Li Qingge, he flashed in front of her.
The Seven Deadly Swords were swung, bringing up a sharp sword wind that barely blocked the evil corpse's rotten claws.
