The Corpse of the Demon Revives!

"The three Black Mountain demons have already been executed! Brothers, follow me to slay the remaining demons and pacify Black Mountain!"

Chen Fan roared, directly attacking a White Wolf Great Demon. This was the Howling Moon Wolf Demon's most valued son, revered by the Black Mountain demons as the White Wolf Prince.

His strength was considerable. Even with Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue holding him back, he could still erupt and kill. Many yamen runners, constables, Brocade Guard, and county soldiers had died at his hands.

"Lord Chen Fan, I wish to surrend—" Pfft!

Before the White Wolf Prince could finish speaking, Chen Fan killed him with a single strike. His massive head flew off, landing heavily on the ground.

"What was he about to say?"

Chen Fan glanced at Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue, asking the question.

Lu Xuening: "???"

Huang Chengyue: "!!!"

[Killed a Divine Treasury Realm Level 5 Wolf Demon, stealing 298 years of its remaining lifespan!]

This White Wolf Prince was indeed a promising individual. At such a young age, he had cultivated to the peak of the Divine Treasury Realm without expending much of his own lifespan, far surpassing his father's generation.

This wave directly brought Chen Fan nearly three hundred years of demonic lifespan.

Didn't this make up for the previous losses from deducing the Heaven and Earth One-Blade Slash?

Good!

This is just too good!

"Forget it, it's not important."

Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but were ruthlessly interrupted by Chen Fan.

"Hey, you demons, leave me two!"

Chen Fan shouted, then picked up the Meteorite Iron Blade and once again slashed at the few remaining demons, leaving Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue to look at each other in dismay!

"You can tell he really enjoys slaying demons."

Lu Xuening said with a sigh.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"It's much better than someone like Cao De, who colludes with demons, right?"

Huang Chengyue smiled and said.

"That's true."

Lu Xuening nodded upon hearing this, then, holding her longsword, she also charged towards the few remaining demons on the battlefield.

Soon, with the combined efforts of Chen Fan and the others, the three Black Mountain demons, including all the demons who had followed them, were exterminated. However, Chen Fan's side also suffered heavy casualties, with almost everyone who survived being injured. Nevertheless, hope shone in everyone's eyes.

Ping An County had suffered from demons for far too long. Now, the Black Mountain demon calamity had finally ended in their generation. Even if demons were to be born in Black Mountain in the future, as long as they patrolled diligently, they would surely be able to nip them in the bud.

It could be said that as long as no foreign great demons took root in Black Mountain, Ping An County could rest easy from now on!

"It's a zombie!"

"The demon is a zombie!"

Someone suddenly shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The person was pointing at a Boar Demon not far from him, which had been shot into a hedgehog with arrows, and was now standing up.

"Be careful!"

The next second, the Boar Demon directly pounced towards him. Seeing this, Chen Fan roared and threw the Meteorite Iron Blade in his hand, hitting the Boar Demon and sending it flying several meters away.

But more and more of the already dead demons stood up, including the three Black Mountain demons that Chen Fan had killed. Especially the Tiger Demon Mountain Lord. After standing up, he groped around, actually looking for his head.

The Three-Eyed Ape Demon had a huge penetrating wound on its head and had already lost its breath, but at this moment, it stood up again. Its two eyes emitted a turbid, grayish-white light, and it bared its teeth at Chen Fan.

"What's going on?"

Chen Fan was also startled by the scene before him. These demons were clearly dead, so why could they come back to life?

"Chen Fan, look at that tiger demon!"

Lu Xuening pointed at the Tiger Demon Mountain Lord, reminding him.

Chen Fan looked towards the Tiger Demon Mountain Lord and saw countless fine branches growing out of the severed part of its neck. The severed part of its head was the same. These fine branches connected with each other, and the Tiger Demon Mountain Lord's head grew back like this!

"Could it be that we've all encountered something evil?"

Huang Chengyue said in a solemn voice with a grave expression.

"It's not encountering something evil, but someone is using tricks!"

Lu Xuening said with great certainty.

Although even her master, a Divine Aperture Realm peak expert, could not do this.

However, some demons were born with some incredible demonic arts, such as the charm of fox demons, the control of伥鬼 by tiger demons, and the ability of dragons to summon wind and rain, and so on.

The reason why these demons could be resurrected should be that there was a more powerful demon manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"I was wondering why the three Black Mountain demons, three wild great demons, could all step into the Divine Aperture Realm. It turns out there is a more powerful existence guiding them."

Lu Xuening, seeing this, also understood some things.

"Playing tricks? If you have the guts, get out here!"

Chen Fan shouted, pulling the Meteorite Iron Blade from the Boar Demon's body. He then unleashed the Heaven and Earth One-Blade Slash, the terrifying force of the blade nearly materializing.

Boom!

With a single slash, he directly cleaved the resurrected demon in two once more.

However, the bizarre scene that had previously occurred with the Tiger Demon reappeared. The demons he had cut in half were once again pieced back together by the branches growing from within their bodies.

"These seem to be willow branches, Black Willow Branches!"

Chen Fan frowned, speaking aloud.

"Black Willow Branches?"

"I remember a Brocade Guard brother who strayed deep into Black Mountain and lived to tell the tale once said that he saw an extremely tall willow tree deep within Black Mountain, almost capable of blotting out the sky."

"However, this willow tree was completely black. He suspected that lightning had charred it."

"Could it be that the willow tree became a demon, and was thus rejected by Heaven and Earth, ultimately dying under a heavenly tribulation? After its death, unwilling to accept its fate, its remnant soul transformed into an evil spirit?"

Huang Chengyue thought for a moment, then spoke.

He was practically an old-timer at the Ping An County Brocade Guard Precinct. Back when he joined the Brocade Guard, it was still powerful, suppressing demons to the point where they couldn't breathe. They even formed groups to venture into Black Mountain to slay demons and eliminate evil, all to accumulate merit points.

Back then, some of the Brocade Guard who had entered Black Mountain with them got lost and strayed deep into Black Mountain, returning to recount their experiences.

"A completely black willow tree?"

"Could it be a willow tree that has fallen into demonic ways?"

Chen Fan said with some curiosity, as if talking to himself, but also as if asking a question.

"These demons are all parasitized by Black Willow Branches. When they were alive, you might not have been able to see anything amiss."

"But now that they've died, the willow branches parasitizing them are using their bodies as nourishment, growing wildly, and then completely controlling their bodies!"

Lu Xuening swung her sword, directly severing an arm of an Ape Demon. She held the arm, and saw that black willow branches were growing wildly from the Ape Demon's severed limb, and these willow branches were continuously wrapping around her arm and towards her body!

Seeing this, she immediately threw away the Ape Demon's arm she was holding, and then waved the sharp sword in her hand, cutting down all the black willow branches that were wrapping around her.

"Burn them with oil!"

"There's oil on the city walls, go get it immediately!"

Chen Fan reminded them.

Even if they dismembered these demons into eight pieces, or even shattered them into a million pieces, these strange willow branches could still sew the demons' bodies together like fine needles and thread.

But if they directly burned these demons' corpses, then these Black Willow Branches would inevitably have nowhere to hide!

Furthermore, no matter how strange these Black Willow Branches were, they were still inclined towards the wood element, belonging to wood. Using fire to attack them might be able to completely suppress them, or even directly destroy them!
