Bai Yu used Lingxu Step to escape, but Golden Dragon Abbot struck him down with Buddhist beads used as hidden weapons.

Although he had cultivated the Vajra Iron Shirt Skill, and his skin was tough, he hadn't fully tempered his bones yet.

Golden Dragon Abbot's Buddhist beads were heavy and powerful, the force penetrating bone, causing Bai Yu's Blood Essence to churn.

Anyone else would have died on the spot.

At this moment, Golden Dragon Abbot charged like a leopard, his speed not even slower than Bai Yu's!

Clearly, he had also cultivated a powerful swift-movement skill.

However, Bai Yu's Lingxu Step was as light as a swallow, while Golden Dragon Abbot was a whirlwind of speed.

Seeing Golden Dragon Abbot about to pounce, Bai Yu hurriedly took a breath and leaped up again.

Like a swallow skimming the water, he stepped on the ground a few times and leaped over the wall.

Golden Dragon Abbot chased to the wall, only to see Bai Yu already leaping dozens of feet away, using a stone lion as a foothold to shoot off.

Seeing Bai Yu about to disappear into the darkness, Golden Dragon Abbot sneered:

"Where do you think you're going, kid? If I let you run like this, this old monk will never eat meat again."

With that, he leaped, covering dozens of feet in a single bound, instantly closing the distance between him and Bai Yu!

He landed on the stone lion, reached into his robes, and produced several hidden weapon iron Bodhi seeds in his palm.

He was about to leap again and throw the hidden weapons to chase Bai Yu when he suddenly heard a shrill sound cutting through the air.

"Something's wrong, there's a trap!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw three crossbow bolts shooting from below, aimed directly at his crotch and lower abdomen.

The three crossbow bolts were fast and swift, about to hit Golden Dragon Abbot!

He stomped down hard, stopping his forward momentum, and his body suddenly fell backward.

Two crossbow bolts grazed his clothes and flew past.

The other one, however, tore a gash in his thigh.

Golden Dragon Abbot broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had reacted a little slower, he would have suffered a fatal blow to the groin.

He couldn't help but curse.

Then he discovered the clue.

It turned out that a repeating crossbow was tied behind the stone lion.

Bai Yu had left a backup plan before entering the Mortuary, tying the repeating crossbow behind the stone lion.

The trigger mechanism for the repeating crossbow was pressed on the top of the stone lion's head.

Bai Yu cultivated Lingxu Step, and was light as a swallow, so stepping on the mechanism would not trigger it.

But when Golden Dragon Abbot stepped on it, it would trigger the mechanism.

Golden Dragon Abbot was directly set up.

He was so angry that he cursed:

"Damn it, this kid is too cunning, setting up traps in the dark, and even using himself as bait, luckily this monk reacted quickly."

"Consider yourself lucky this time, if you fall into this monk's hands next time, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

However, at this moment, Bai Yu's voice came slowly:

"What you should be worried about now is yourself."

He hadn't taken the opportunity to escape, but had instead turned back.

Golden Dragon Abbot laughed loudly:

"Kid, you truly have a road to heaven but you don't take it, a gate to hell but you barge in."

"If you had run, this monk wouldn't have bothered to look for you, now that you've come back to die, don't blame this monk."

Bai Yu wasn't flustered at all:

"Oh? Is that so? Why don't you take a look at your thigh?"

Golden Dragon Abbot remained vigilant, glancing down.

He saw that the wound on his thigh had already started to turn black, and was spreading to other parts of his body!

"Damn it, the arrowhead is poisoned!"

As a generation of cautious kings, poisoning arrowheads was a basic operation.

He wished he could coat all the arrows with every poison he had.

Without ten or eight backup plans, how would Bai Yu dare to enter the Mortuary?

Bai Yu picked up a dagger and charged towards Golden Dragon Abbot without another word.

Golden Dragon Abbot's expression changed drastically.

His leg was poisoned, and his opponent was strong; this situation was too disadvantageous.

He took a breath and turned to run.

With each step, the poison on his leg spread further, and even a layer of black gas appeared on his face.

But even so, he didn't dare to stop at all, running straight into the Mortuary.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, took out a copper bell from his arms, and chanted a spell while shaking it.

Ding-dong, ding-dong…

The crisp sound of the bell rang, and a Bronze Armor Corpse rushed over from the backyard.

Golden Dragon Abbot pointed at Bai Yu.

"Bronze Armor Corpse slave, kill him for me!"

After saying that, he hurriedly took out various detoxification medicines, pouring them onto the wound as if they were free.

And he began to circulate his internal energy, trying to force the poison out of his body.

As for Bai Yu, he wasn't worried about him at all right now.

He knew the power of the Bronze Armor Corpse very well; dealing with a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist was a piece of cake.

Sure enough, the Bronze Armor Corpse roared and blocked Bai Yu.

A pair of claws a foot long, as black as ink, extremely sharp, went straight for Bai Yu's heart.

Bai Yu was also taken aback, pushing Lingxu Step to the limit, and dodging to the side.

The Bronze Armor Corpse missed, and its claws stabbed into the stone pillar of the Mortuary.

The stone pillar made of bluestone was pierced through as easily as cutting tofu.

The Bronze Armor Corpse pulled out its claws and pounced on Bai Yu again.

Bai Yu roused himself to full alertness and fought with the Bronze Armor Corpse.

This Bronze Armor Corpse was as swift as the wind, with infinite strength, and its pair of claws were comparable to divine weapons.

Most astonishingly, it was covered in copper skin and iron bones, and no matter how Bai Yu attacked, he couldn't hurt it in the slightest.

It should be known that Bai Yu now possessed monstrous strength of more than a thousand pounds, and an ordinary Baleful Corpse would be directly blown apart by a punch.

But he couldn't even break through the Bronze Armor Corpse's defense.

Fortunately, it wasn't very agile when turning around, and Bai Yu could use Lingxu Step to deal with it.

While Bai Yu was entangled with the Bronze Armor Corpse, he glanced at Golden Dragon Abbot.

He saw that Golden Dragon Abbot had already forced out a stream of poisonous blood, and the black gas on his face had dissipated a lot.

If it continued like this, he would recover in no time.

Bai Yu was anxious and took out a Corpse Control Talisman from his arms.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Bronze Armor Corpse turned around, he quickly stuck it on its forehead.

The Bronze Armor Corpse did indeed pause, stopping in place.

However, the next moment, the Corpse Control Talisman exploded, and the Bronze Armor Corpse returned to normal, and began to hunt down Bai Yu again.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Golden Dragon Abbot's mouth.

Corpse Control Talisman, it seems this kid has a trick or two in Yin-Yang techniques.

Unfortunately, the Bronze Armor Corpse is not an ordinary Baleful Corpse; a Corpse Control Talisman is like a tickle to it.

He couldn't help but sneer.

In a moment, he would be able to force out the poisonous blood and restore his combat power.

A Bronze Armor Corpse, plus him, Golden Dragon Abbot, this kid is dead!

When the time comes, he would definitely skin this kid alive and refine his body into a Baleful Corpse.

But at this moment, Bai Yu took out a pile of Blood Talismans from his arms.

One Corpse Control Talisman is not enough, then let's have a few more!

Swish, swish, swish, Bai Yu moved like lightning, sticking dozens of Corpse Control Talismans on the Bronze Armor Corpse in one breath.

The Bronze Armor Corpse, covered in yellow talismans, was directly suppressed!
