"Corpse ghoul!"
Two words flashed through Lin Chen's mind. The Corpse Puppet before him bore quite a few similarities to the corpse ghouls he had encountered before.
And ordinary cultivators couldn't possibly refine such a powerful, exquisitely crafted Corpse Puppet!
"What's your relationship with Corpse Demon Elder?" Lin Chen asked, looking at the old man in the distance.
"What Corpse Demon Elder? I don't know what you're talking about!"
The old man sneered coldly. With a thought, he and the Corpse Puppet charged at Lin Chen from either side.
After their brief exchange, the old man had already realized that the Corpse Puppet alone was no match for Lin Chen. Only by joining forces with it did he stand a chance of killing him.
"If you won't talk, I'll beat it out of you!"
Lin Chen's expression turned stern. He urged his Blood Qi True Flame to its limit, moved in a flash, and appeared before the Corpse Puppet, driving a punch toward it.
Boom!
His fist, empowered by the Blood Qi True Flame, came down with a world-shaking crash. The Corpse Puppet exploded on the spot, scattering into flying ash.
"What?"
Disbelief spread across the old man's face. Corpse Puppets had astonishing defenses. Even a Fifth Order cultivator wouldn't be able to kill a Fourth Order Corpse Puppet so easily.
"You were hiding your strength!"
Only now did the old man realize that Lin Chen hadn't been fighting with all his might. His opponent was at least a Fifth Order cultivator, perhaps even Sixth Order!
"I never said I was going all out."
Lin Chen scoffed, then darted toward the old man. "Now it's your turn, old geezer!"
"Damn it!"
The old man's expression changed. He hurriedly summoned his ghost energy, and countless wisps surged up from the ground.
