"Earth Yin Blood Talisman!"
Liu Xiao and another Night Patrol Division Manager quickly recognized the talisman, as it had a fearsome reputation. Even after several years, it remained a nightmare for many Qi Refining Cultivators.
The number of Corpse Peak disciples who died under this talisman was easily over a thousand, and many were left permanently disabled because of it.
The most terrifying thing was that even a low-grade first-tier talisman could affect a fourth-layer Qi Refining Cultivator, while a third-layer cultivator would basically die on contact. This was a level that neither Yang Talismans nor Yin Talismans could achieve.
The reason was simple: the Earth Yin Blood Talisman was powered by lifespan.
Activating one.
Lightly, it cost one to two years of lifespan.
Heavily, it cost eight to ten years.
For an aging elder like Chen Feng, even using just one would likely leave him with only a few years to live.
So, when Chen Feng pulled out the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, Liu Xiao and the other manager immediately realized that Chen Feng intended to take them down with him!
"Retreat!"
Liu Xiao swung his spear backward, pulling his body with it as he rapidly retreated. The other Night Patrol Division Manager quickly followed.
But Chen Feng, grinning menacingly, chased after them, unwilling to give Liu Xiao and the other manager a chance to escape. He tightened his grip on the Earth Yin Blood Talisman and, in the next moment, a large amount of blood surged from his palm into the talisman.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng looked seven or eight years older.
This caused Liu Xiao and the other manager's expressions to change drastically. When they saw Chen Feng throw the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, they were so shocked that they immediately threw their magic tools and took out seven or eight defensive talismans from their storage bags to activate.
The next moment.
A deafening roar echoed through the sky.
BOOM!
A massive burst of Earth Fiend Yin Energy and Blood Qi erupted from the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, spreading out as a blood-red halo.
Wherever the blood-red halo passed, whether it was demons, members of the Chen family, or disciples of the Night Patrol Division.
They instantly turned to ash.
There wasn't even time to react.
After the blood-red halo dissipated, nothing remained within a hundred zhang. Everyone except Liu Xiao and the other manager had been wiped out by the blood-red halo.
Although Liu Xiao and the other manager survived, the price was the self-destruction of their magic tools, the complete expenditure of their defensive talismans, and significant physical impact. Their strength was reduced to less than three-tenths, and they were on the verge of serious injury.
"What a shame... it's just a mid-grade first-tier low-rank Earth Yin Blood Talisman..." Chen Feng said regretfully upon seeing that Liu Xiao and the other manager were still alive.
The moment he spoke.
He also spat out a mouthful of blood.
His aura weakened further, but the madness on his face grew even more ferocious.
The next moment.
Chen Feng suddenly turned and fled the Chen family's territory using his magic.
His speed was so great that he had clearly used some other talisman.
Liu Xiao wanted to pursue, but was stopped by the other Night Patrol Division Manager. "Don't chase. If you pursue, he's likely to take us down with him... Let's deal with the demons below first. If we delay further, more people will die!"
Liu Xiao looked down at the Night Patrol Division disciples who were battling the demons, felt his own chaotic mana, and his near-crippled body. With no other choice, he had to give up and let Chen Feng leave.
As for the other Night Patrol Division managers, seeing this, they also dared not pursue and chose to deal with the demons first.
Formidable enemies were not scary.
What was scary were enemies who didn't even care about their own lives.
What if he had another Earth Yin Blood Talisman?
In the absence of the supervisor, anyone who pursued would die.
However.
Wen Jiu, who was in the Red Maple Forest, was stunned when he saw this.
Damn it!
He's coming towards me!
"What rotten luck!"
He was just hiding in the Red Maple Forest, seeking to avoid the conflict.
Why was the Chen family's strongest and most insane individual heading in his direction?
Without a second thought, Wen Jiu immediately used Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, preparing to avoid the confrontation and let Chen Feng go. After all, that Earth Yin Blood Talisman was too terrifying, and it had instilled a deep sense of dread in his heart.
However.
Chen Feng, after charging into the Red Maple Forest for only a few breaths, collapsed. It was clear he could no longer fly using his magic.
The moment he fell, his body hunched over, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. The ferocious, frenzied aura he had moments before was now less than one-tenth.
Seeing Chen Feng take out several Swiftness Talismans from his storage bag, Wen Jiu instinctively looked at the Black Zombie beside him.
At this moment.
He and the Black Zombie were only three zhang away from Chen Feng.
A sneak attack might succeed.
If that didn't work, he could also use Blood Corpse Escape to get away.
The Black Zombie instantly understood, and with a surge of chilling ghost qi, it pounced towards Chen Feng.
"Ghost!"
Chen Feng was startled.
But the Black Zombie was only three zhang away from him. With the Black Zombie's Three Rivers Ghost Concealment speed, Chen Feng had no chance to cast a spell to block it.
In his panic, Chen Feng pulled out a talisman. It wasn't a blood talisman, but a normal low-grade first-tier Yin Talisman.
However, its quality was top-notch!
The Yin Talisman activated, and a huge, chilling ghost face suddenly appeared, lunging at the rapidly approaching Black Zombie.
In a short while, the ghost face bit the Black Zombie.
Chen Feng's face lit up with joy.
But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
Because the ghost face was directly torn apart by the Black Zombie's claw, as easily as tearing thin paper. In an instant, it was right in front of him.
Squelch—
Two hands, carrying chilling ghost qi, plunged into Chen Feng's chest. Chen Feng, already at the end of his strength, didn't even have the ability to activate another talisman for defense. He could only watch in disbelief as the Black Zombie tore him apart.
Seeing this, Wen Jiu was truly somewhat shocked—the Black Zombie at the Advanced Stage, combined with the Blood Transformation Body and Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, was actually this strong!
A top-quality low-grade first-tier Yin Talisman, comparable to the full might of a Qi Refining third-layer unorthodox cultivator, was torn apart just like that.
"How strong will it be if it evolves into a Walking Corpse..."
Wen Jiu was filled with anticipation.
Could it tear apart a Qi Refining fourth-layer cultivator?
Putting away his thoughts, Wen Jiu subconsciously glanced outside the red maple forest. A Night Patrol Division Manager had already noticed the commotion here.
Without a second thought, Wen Jiu swept his Spiritual Sense, grabbed the Storage Bag, and quickly disappeared into the forest with the Black Zombie.
All that remained was a mangled corpse and chilling ghost qi scattered everywhere.
It was exactly the same as when he killed Fang Zheng and the other two.
Dozens of breaths later.
Wen Jiu was already in a dense forest three miles away.
It was quiet all around.
Not even the chirping of birds or the buzzing of insects could be heard.
Only from the direction of the Chen family, and from underground, came the continuous roars of spells and Magic Tools.
Originally, Wen Jiu planned to find a place to calm his mind and examine the spoils of his "loot," but as soon as he stopped, he felt a large amount of Blood Qi surging from the direction of the Chen family. He turned his head, and a bloody light shot up from the cave below.
That surging Blood Qi, its density, made Wen Jiu momentarily lose himself, and it also made the Black Zombie become excited.
Two thoughts arose.
How much Blood Qi was down there?
Why did it feel like there was more than in Dead Corpse Land?
Despite his excitement, Wen Jiu forced himself to be rational. After all, the sudden surge of Blood Qi was definitely not normal.
"What happened down there..."
After much deliberation.
Wen Jiu decided to go back later and follow the main group to check the situation.
If there was danger, he could just use Blood Corpse Escape to get away.
No matter how deep the cave was, it couldn't be twenty miles deep, right?
Blood Corpse Escape could travel five miles at a time.
With the abundant Corpse Qi currently within the Black Zombie, it could still be used three more times.
When Wen Jiu circled around the back of the Chen family mountain and returned to the battlefield from the other side, the demons and monsters had already been dealt with. When he saw Mu Canglong and Si Kongbai appear in the Chen family's ancestral land, Wen Jiu understood everything.
As Wen Jiu appeared, Mu Canglong, Si Kongbai, and Liu Xiao all cast their gazes towards him.
Mu Canglong's pair of solemn eyes seemed to relax considerably upon seeing Wen Jiu. Perhaps he had thought Wen Jiu was dead just now. Si Kongbai, on the other hand, had a cold expression, and a hint of hostility could still be felt.
It was very clear.
He still remembered the matter concerning Li Ye.
and held a grudge.
Wen Jiu didn't care about this.
As long as Mu Canglong was present, he wouldn't dare to touch him.
Upon approaching, Liu Xiao quickly got up from his seated, healing state and said with pleasant surprise, "Wen Jiu!"
"Brother Liu."
Wen Jiu walked forward slowly, holding the thumbs of a few Chen family disciples in his hand. As he was bowing to Mu Canglong and the other person, Liu Xiao, who had moved closer, placed his hand on Wen Jiu's shoulder. "Not bad, not bad. Not only are you unharmed, but you've also killed a few people."
"I was lucky."
Wen Jiu replied humbly.
Then, he scanned his surroundings with his eyes.
There were many demon corpses.
But there were also quite a few Night Patrol Division disciple corpses.
They were now neatly arranged on the open ground, over thirty in total.
Seeing this, Wen Jiu felt a mix of emotions.
At the same time, Mu Canglong, following behind Wen Jiu, observed him with satisfaction for a few moments. However, his gaze eventually fell upon the Black Zombie. He felt something was off. After probing with his spiritual sense, he still felt something was off, though he couldn't pinpoint what.
But he had a hunch.
The Black Zombie had become stronger.
Perhaps it was not far from reaching the Advanced Stage.
This kid!
This kid's talent for unorthodox paths was truly terrifying!
He was even stronger than the one who created the Yin Province Corpse Raising Method!
Mu Canglong looked at Wen Jiu, his eyes filled with surprise and other complex emotions, but he didn't express them directly.
"Alright, take what you can, leave what you can't. With me here, no one will dare to snatch our Night Patrol Division's spoils!" Mu Canglong finished speaking and turned to see the bottomless pit behind him.
"Everyone."
"Prepare to enter!"
As he spoke, Wen Jiu's gaze shifted from the corpses to the blood-filled pit.
At such close proximity, the concentration of blood qi leaking from the pit was already comparable to the central area of the Dead Corpse Land.
If they went deeper...
He couldn't imagine how much there would be.
This also made Wen Jiu curious. What were these Blood Robe Tower remnants doing down here?
[Two chapters, nearly six thousand words.
The amount of three chapters for others.
Asking for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets isn't too much, right?
Hehe.
Thank you all!]
