In the desolate village, mist churned.
The Yin Evil Aura was so dense it had nearly solidified, and the wild grass on the ground turned to black ash beneath the assault of evil power.
A crimson radiance rose from Zuo Yongjun's body.
It was his protective true qi resisting the invasion of the evil aura.
Yet the real threat was not the Yin Evil Aura filling the surrounding space, but a gigantic Corpse Centipede!
Its head and legs were formed entirely of white bones. Its long body was covered in naked walking corpses, while a pair of curved mandible teeth, like sharp scimitars, scraped against each other with a tooth-aching screech.
The latter half of the Corpse Centipede's body was concealed within the thick fog, making it impossible to tell how long it truly was. But the gaping maw exposed between its mandible teeth could easily swallow a person whole.
Faced with such a monster, Zuo Yongjun's expression grew grave to the extreme.
He had served in the Imperial Guard Department for many years and had seen all manner of Evil Spirits.
This Corpse Centipede before him was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying Evil Monsters Zuo Yongjun had ever encountered!
Yet that did not make this Innate Martial Artist afraid. His fighting spirit, like the true qi within his body, boiled and burned.
Within Zuo Yongjun's body, the five Great Fiend Wheels—Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Yin, Devouring Thief, and Non-Poison—were driven by Innate true qi, unleashing different powers to Empower his entire body.
Confucian Cultivators tempered the Three Souls, while soldiers forged the Seven Souls. Zuo Yongjun cultivated the most orthodox Military Cultivation Technique; of the seven Great Fiend Wheels, he had already condensed five, and his strength overshadowed all of Southern Shao.
Others could flee or hide,
