Puff—
Chu Ge spun sharply and landed, feeling an icy chill in his abdomen. Giving himself no room to catch his breath, his surging blood and Qi caused his claws to cross before he lashed them outward.
Whoosh, whoosh!—
The violent force tore through the air and surged wildly, like a raging wave splitting the shore, spinning and pressing down through the void toward the Flying Head Zombie.
With a loud bang!
This massive Flying Head Zombie was merely halted mid-air by the impact.
The next moment, a fierce, malevolent light flared in its pair of pale-green eyes. Its intestines cracked through the air like a series of iron whips, snapping in rapid succession as they lunged forth like an evil dragon, chopping downward with a fierce, whistling gale.
Caught off guard, Chu Ge could only use his sharp Crimson Scale Claws to parry left and right, his fiercely violent fist force frantically gushing outward to avoid being entangled by the slimy intestines.
Yet after just a few contacts, he felt his arms grow numb from the shock.
A chillingly cold aura invaded his arms, actually entangling with the exotic power within the Crimson Scale Claws and causing the strength in his arms to diminish.
This absolutely has to be that most powerful Flying Head Zombie!
Chu Ge's heart chilled inwardly, thinking it was no wonder Lin Hongtu had suffered grievous injuries. His figure retreated swiftly as he once again resorted to his old trick, running in a circle around the pillar to dodge.
The Flying Head Zombie roared, its hair flying as it charged back and forth like a speeding meteorite, slamming fiercely toward him.
With a bang-crack sound.
The entire attic seemed to vibrate. Even when brushed against by the pillar, it was as if struck by a flying hammer, instantly shattering into a huge gap with wood chips flying in all directions.
Yet right at that moment, Chu Ge had completely unclasped his cloak.
The final Shadow Puppets carrying a medicine vial of the exotic wine instantly expanded in size, taking the initiative to lunge toward the Flying Head Zombie.
In that instant, Chu Ge's figure rushed forth at a gallop like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.
He suddenly threw a punch, his thick arms covered in scales carrying a violent, thick Qi as he fiercely smashed away the intestines rushing over like a plunging waterfall.
Bang!—
The sleeve on his upper arm shattered and his arm throbbed with numbness, but the various golden threads on his Flying Pig Boots were illuminated by the exotic power.
The twin wings radiating a golden glow at the heels were especially prominent, bursting forth with a singular, explosive force.
Bang!—
The floorboards suddenly sank, cracking and exploding to form a shallow pit.
Chu Ge's figure was like a ghost, faster than a squall. In a flash, he crossed a distance of seven zhang and instantly bolted down from the attic.
Almost at the exact moment his figure leaped down from the attic, the silk thread connected to the Shadow Puppets in his hand rapidly lengthened as well.
Inside the medicine vial of the Shadow Puppets, the exotic power wrapping around a single drop of the exotic wine was swiftly drawn out, racing along the silk thread.
Bang!—
The Shadow Puppets was smashed apart by the fiercely charging Flying Head Zombie.
The drop of wine inside the medicine vial instantly collided and dispersed amidst the mighty Qi.
A rich, heavy wine fragrance instantly diffused into the air.
The rampaging Flying Head Zombie had its entire face instantly covered by the mist-like wine. Amidst the strong wine fragrance, it suddenly changed direction, preparing to charge once more toward Chu Ge, who had already leaped outside the attic.
Chu Ge's heart was already hanging high.
The effect of the wine-exoticism's wine poison on non-living evil spectres was questionable, and just how the alcoholic exotic power would attack remained hard to say.
Once the effect on the Flying Head Zombie proved minor, he would have to kill the Corpse Controller within an extremely short time or escape using the Flying Pig Boots.
Primarily, this oversized Flying Head Zombie had appeared far too abruptly, completely catching him off guard.
It was impossible for him to directly throw out his biggest trump card the moment he saw the Corpse Controller, leaving him slightly passive now.
Yet right at that moment, the Flying Head Zombie had barely flown a zhang before it suddenly began to sway, spinning up and down. Although its pale-green eyes remained clear, some bizarre force seemed to be invading and disrupting its consciousness, preventing it from smoothly receiving the Corpse Controller's commands.
Suddenly, it stumbled to the ground with a bang, rolling over in a single tumble. Something within its skull seemed to be struggling, emitting a scream on a spiritual level.
Chu Ge, whose figure had rushed out of the attic, instantly relaxed his tense heart. The very first moment he touched the ground, he bent his knees, the muscles in his legs instantly tightening like compressed springs before his feet kicked off.
Bang!!—
The floor bricks shattered under the stamp of the Flying Pig Boots, bursting open a large cloud of dust and scattering gravel.
His body, like a fiercely charging carriage, carried formidable Qi as he slammed savagely toward the Soul Chasing Old Man, who had already escaped to the courtyard gates on the opposite side.
So fast!! How could he shake off the big head so quickly?!
At the entrance, the Soul Chasing Old Man felt the terrifying aura of Chu Ge charging up from behind, and his expression changed drastically.
His legs were severely injured, making escape utterly impossible.
Moreover, this demonic martial artist was simply too terrifying and bizarre, with endless types of tricks completely unlike a normal martial artist.
I'll fight you to the death, old man!
He suddenly let out a furious roar, his face swelling red and purple, and both hands swelled rapidly as if filled with blood.
Hm? Exotic power secret technique?
Chu Ge grew instantly vigilant in his heart.
Die!!—
With a furious, wild roar, the Soul Chasing Old Man abruptly thrust out both palms simultaneously. Scorching, fierce palm winds struck out heavy, terrifying palm shadows, violently bombarding Chu Ge to force him back.
A strong pressure accompanied by a wave of air that suffocated the nose vented outward, even carrying a terrifying imagery impact like a volcanic eruption.
Yet just as this terrifying imagery impact shook Chu Ge's mind, the porter's mask worn on his face automatically blocked a portion of the mental assault for him.
Chu Ge snapped back to clarity instantly, his carriage-like charging body maintaining its momentum without slowing!
The instant his sole touched the ground, he slammed down fiercely with a heavy stomp!
Bang!—!
The Flying Pig Boots could no longer bear it and suddenly burst apart, the floor bricks shattering thunderously into dust.
His fists quickly collided head-on with the heavy layers of incoming palm shadows.
Clang, clang, clang!!—
The air split apart like rushing waves, and the collisions of wave upon wave of formidable Qi stirred up layer upon layer of surging waves, supremely dangerous!
Suddenly, a puff-crack sound rang out.
The Soul Chasing Old Man's eyes bulged, his body trembling violently. The clothing over his chest exploded into a sky full of flying fluffs, revealing the soft armor beneath the dark green garments that had been torn open.
His body was sent flying out with a bang, crashing heavily against the courtyard gates in the rear, smashing the heavy doors flying and tumbling heavily onto the ground before he spat out a bloody arrow with a wa.
Chu Ge was likewise jarred back two steps, his foot crushing the floor bricks with a crack.
He felt a burning force invade the meridians of his hands, scorching the Laogong points on his palms with a sharp pain.
Yet this force was quickly neutralized by the exotic power he had poured into the Crimson Scale Claws on his arms.
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed swiftly to the entrance and struck out with a fierce punch toward the Corpse Controller, who was still alive on the ground.
Swoosh!—
The Qi billowed and erupted, cutting through the air into a white wave!
The Soul Chasing Old Man's entire body trembled as if struck by lightning, his bulging eyes staring wide at Chu Ge. His internal organs were ruptured by the impact of this Qi.
Blood flowed in gurgles from his mouth. Staring at Chu Ge, he said with difficulty, "You kill me, and my sect's Exotic Demon won't let you—"
Die!—
Chu Ge's eyes blazed fiercely as he kicked out, striking squarely on his temple.
Instantly, the Soul Chasing Old Man's eyes turned completely bloodshot, blood streaming from his seven orifices as his brain turned to mush.
Though his body was still twitching, no matter how strong a Blood Change Realm martial artist's vitality might be, he was thoroughly dead by this point.
Seeing this, Chu Ge let out a long breath of relief.
The Corpse Controller was at death's door yet still spouting so much nonsense; indeed, villains died of excessive talking.
However, his opponent truly had been too strong and too thorny.
Having employed nearly all of his tricks—with the effects of the Beast Power Paper Talisman having already worn off—he had only managed to take down this Corpse Controller by a hair.
Had he collided with him right from the start, facing the simultaneous siege of both the large and small Flying Head Zombies along with a Blood Change Realm martial artist, he might well have faced mortal danger.
Now, merely relaxing slightly, Chu Ge felt a wave of weakness from his declining blood and Qi. His arms felt a numb ache in waves, and his iron-tower-like, robust body was thoroughly exhausted.
He bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself clear-headed. Still feeling uneasy, he bent over, reached out to send his opponent off to the end, and sacrificed the corpse along with the opponent's large banner directly into the Dragon Clock.
He made it a rule to be diligent and thrifty with no waste.
Shortly after, he returned swiftly to the courtyard, fished up the shrunken little Flying Head Zombie whose skull had been cracked open by a punch, and sacrificed it into the Dragon Clock as well.
Having finished all this, Chu Ge paused in his footsteps, looking at the corpses of a family of four lying on the courtyard ground.
Among these corpses was a young girl of about five or six, dressed in a flowered silk padded jacket and a leek-green pleated skirt.
At that moment, her skirt was stained with fresh blood as she lay facing upward, already decapitated with her little head placed upright on the ground, her innocent eyes filled with terror and confusion.
It was as if she felt terror and confusion over why someone could be so unreasonable and evil, coming inside to slaughter her entire family.
"In this era, those who deserve to die do not, while those who don't deserve to die perish in droves."
Chu Ge cursed under his breath. A ball of fire surged into his eyes, which had remained calm until now, making him feel terribly irritable.
He wanted to drag the Corpse Controller's corpse back out and whip it savagely a few more times.
He took a deep breath to calm his mood.
Sensing the little girl's corpse might be uncomfortable, he bent down anyway and placed her little head back beside her tiny body.
"Afterward, the yamen will have coroners to help stitch her up, right?"
Chu Ge shook his head, then looked toward the attic.
At this moment, it was still not the time to let down his guard.
He pulled a handkerchief from his body, folded it into several layers to cover his nose and mouth, and while holding his breath, closed and contracted all the pores of his body under muscular control.
Having made these preparations, he carefully climbed back upstairs.
Before long, he arrived in an attic filled with the fragrance of wine, immediately spotting the oversized Flying Head Zombie lying in a state of deep unconsciousness in a corner of the floor.
Drip—
The moment he took a single step out, he felt slightly dizzy and lightheaded, a trace of shock inevitably surfacing in his eyes.
A single drop of this wine-exoticism's fine wine was simply too terrifying.
Just the wine fragrance alone, despite him having made so many defensive preparations, could actually still affect him!
