Zhang Lin lifted a massive stone pillar from the ground behind him. It weighed tens of thousands of pounds.

The blood energy covering his body extended outwards and enveloped it.

From a distance, it looked like a fiery red poker.

"Eat my staff blow!"

He took a step back, leaning his body backward, his blood energy surging. He hurled the stone pillar at the Corpse Giant.

It flew like an arrow from a bow, swift as the wind!

His feet dug two deep pits into the ground from the force of his step, and the stone floor cracked inch by inch.

Without stopping, he pushed off the ground again.

"Bang!"

Zhang Lin shot forward, leaping onto the flying stone pillar to gather more power!

At this moment, the Corpse Giant shattered the stone slab in front of it and noticed the rapidly approaching red light.

It quickly used all four of its arms, wrapping them together and forming a massive shield!

The shield was covered in scales and had bony barbs.

"Boom!"

They clashed again.

The stone pillar and the shield collided, beginning to crack bit by bit.

The bony barbs on the shield shattered, and the scales broke apart and fell off.

In the end, the Corpse Giant retreated over a hundred meters, its defense holding, but a large hole had been ripped through the shield in front of it.

Before it could react, Zhang Lin charged out from the hole.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

First, a sonic boom caught it off guard, making both its heads ring and causing temporary disorientation.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Hundred Fists!"

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Lin closed the distance and appeared before the Corpse Giant.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

He unleashed a hundred consecutive punches, landing them squarely on the giant's body.

Although the Corpse Giant's physical defense was not bad, it couldn't withstand this barrage. A hundred bloody holes instantly appeared on its body.

No blood flowed out, but rather a viscous green liquid that emitted a foul stench.

Maggots were visible within the bloody wounds.

Just then, the Corpse Giant recovered!

The head with six eyes opened its maw and spewed a cloud of green mist, which quickly spread and obscured the surrounding area.

The other head, resembling a snake, bared its fangs and flicked its tongue towards Zhang Lin.

The Corpse Giant's four limbs also regenerated and began to grab at Zhang Lin.

Relying on his powerful perception and stamina, Zhang Lin dodged the Corpse Giant's attacks, launching a few blows from time to time.

He had already discovered the Corpse Giant's strong regenerative abilities; even severed limbs could regrow.

If he couldn't find a weakness, his blood energy would eventually run out, and he would be as good as dead!

As he was momentarily stunned, the snake head attacked.

It first spat a stream of poisonous projectiles, blocking Zhang Lin's escape route, and then its tongue whipped out.

The tongue was covered in dense barbs.

"Slash!"

Zhang Lin poured a large amount of blood energy into his right hand, forming a three-foot-long red blade.

He instantly unleashed ten consecutive slashes at the snake's tongue.

The snake's tongue was severed into more than ten pieces.

As if feeling no pain, the snake head spat out another plume of black smoke, accompanied by several slashes.

Zhang Lin turned and countered with several punches.

The snake head took the opportunity to bite directly, engulfing Zhang Lin in an instant.

Its four long fangs could instantly pierce an elephant.

For someone as small as Zhang Lin, he would surely snap like a twig!

Zhang Lin reacted with incredible speed, grabbing two of the fangs with his hands and forcing the snake's jaws open.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

He communicated with the White Tiger within his Dantian.

The White Tiger opened its eyes, its phantom image spreading outward, quickly enveloping Zhang Lin. A sonic roar carrying lightning erupted.

Detonating directly inside the snake's mouth, the damage was far beyond what it could have inflicted from the outside!

The snakehead exploded on the spot, and its long body vanished along with it. The Corpse Giant was left with only its head.

At this moment, Zhang Lin was still on the Corpse Giant.

He suddenly felt a burst of red light erupt, immense evil energy radiating from within, and he could even sense a faint, elusive soul fluctuation.

Zhang Lin leaped around, searching for the source of the red light and quickly found it.

The Corpse Giant's chest burst with red light, and the snakehead began to reconstruct itself bit by bit.

Seeing this, and combining it with the red fleshy ball he had seen earlier, Zhang Lin immediately understood what was happening.

The red light before him was emitted by the red fleshy ball, and this red fleshy ball was the Corpse Giant's core.

As long as the red fleshy ball was not destroyed, the Corpse Giant could regenerate infinitely!

The Corpse Giant seemed to notice Zhang Lin. Many tentacles appeared on its body, and its limbs began to move again, surging towards Zhang Lin.

"Slash!"

Zhang Lin channeled red light into both his hands this time, cutting through the tentacles and even severing the Corpse Giant's limbs. He then charged towards the red fleshy ball!

"Whirlwind Slash!"

Zhang Lin unleashed a furious attack, spinning his body and slashing towards the Corpse Giant's chest.

"Huh? Missed the target!"

Zhang Lin turned his head and saw that the Corpse Giant was actually shrinking bit by bit until it was human-sized.

"Bang!"

Zhang Lin landed, his expression grave as he looked at the shrunken Two-headed Corpse before him.

The Corpse Giant's snakehead had already regrown, and the aura it exuded was even stronger than in its giant form.

A red fleshy ball was exposed on its chest, but it was protected by some bones, and the area still emanated a strong deathly aura.

Suddenly, it raised an arm and pointed a finger at Zhang Lin, unleashing a stream of green evil energy.

"Crack!"

Zhang Lin punched forward, but the defense reinforced by his own blood qi showed signs of breaking.

His heart tightened, and he quickly retreated, dodging the attack.

"Rumble!"

A huge pit was blasted behind him, and dust and smoke billowed everywhere.

The shrunken Two-headed Corpse was powerful, and Zhang Lin wasn't confident he could defeat it quickly!

"Whoosh!"

The Two-headed Corpse vanished from its spot.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Spinning Kick!"

Zhang Lin sensed a sharp attack coming from the back of his head. He channeled his blood qi to his right leg and delivered a fierce whip kick behind him.

The two forces collided and separated instantly.

Neither was able to gain the upper hand.

The Two-headed Corpse retreated more than ten steps, and one of its arms regrew.

"Have you found a way out? I can't deal with this thing anytime soon!"

Zhang Lin also retreated a few steps, falling back to the entrance of the main hall.

His blood qi had been depleted by more than half from the prolonged battle. If he continued, who knew if other evil spirits might appear.

Although he craved the blue-white energy produced by defeating the Two-headed Corpse, it was clearly not the best time.

"I haven't found any exits around! Only one of the paper cranes I sent out has returned, perhaps we should check that!"

Qingyuan Old Daoist sighed, holding the only paper crane in his hand.

"Old Daoist, look over there!"

Zhang Lin patted the Old Daoist's shoulder and pointed at the Buddha statue in the center of the hall.

"Strange! Before you arrived, I glanced at it, and the Buddha statue's head still hadn't appeared. How is it now..."

The Old Daoist turned to look at the revealed Buddha statue's head, feeling a chill creep up his spine!

"Perhaps it's related to this!"

Zhang Lin pointed at the Two-headed Corpse, which was gradually approaching the hall!

Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the hall!
