Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Chaos Battle at the Chen Family

”Chant the incantation!”

The Peak Master of Feixian Peak ordered once again.

Disciples on the flying ship began chanting incantations and casting spells, with sword shadows and fireballs appearing one after another.

Ready to strike.

Wen Jiu followed suit but only pretended to chant, as the only spell he knew was Magic Power Flick, so he prepared to shoot off two shots as well.

Very soon.

As the flying ship descended, the Peak Master of Feixian Peak ordered again. In an instant, over eight hundred spells rained down like a storm, instantly engulfing the Chen Clan Territory within the Red Maple Forest.

Houses exploded instantaneously, and the maids who were walking with fruit plates just a second ago were consumed by flames.

But in the center of the Chen Family, an array suddenly appeared, blocking the descending spells.

From Wen Jiu’s distant observation, many people rushed out from the houses, all showing astonishment upon seeing the flying ship from Feixian Peak.

There was panic.

There was also disbelief.

It seemed like they couldn’t believe Feixian Peak would launch a surprise attack.

At that moment, the Peak Master of Feixian Peak spearheaded the charge, commanding hundreds of sword shadows to howl toward the Chen Family, followed closely by seven elders, throwing the Chen Clan Territory into panic.

Just then, one person rushed out from the Chen Family; his presence instantly provided a calming effect, stabilizing the panicked minds within the Chen Clan Territory. He then charged forward, enveloped in ghostly aura.

His laughter was sinister, and Wen Jiu recognized him at a glance as the Blood Robe Tower strongman who injured the Feixian Peak Master on that night.

”To think you’ve tracked us down; it seems there’s a Divine Sense Mark on the corpse that even I couldn’t detect... but you dared to come after being hit by my Soul Devouring Technique, truly courting death!”

After speaking.

The remnant of Blood Robe Tower raised his hand and summoned a Ghost Head, which gradually expanded into a purple-black lotus, overwhelming as it charged toward Feixian Peak Master Ji Qiubai, just like that night.

Seeing the attack of the purple-black lotus, the people of the Chen Family no longer panicked; they steeled their minds and charged at the seven elders of Feixian Peak.

However.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in combat, the Peak Master of Feixian Peak, Ji Qiubai, suddenly surged with a skyrocketing aura.

Instantly, he no longer looked gravely injured as before.

His aura reached an unprecedented peak, crushing the opponent with overwhelming superiority.

With a wave of his hand, a giant sword rose into the air with a roaring speed, falling toward the black lotus.

Boom—

With just one strike.

The Ghost Head and black lotus shattered completely, and the once invincible remnant of Blood Robe Tower was also smashed down into the Chen Family.

”Retreat!”

”It’s a trap!”

At this moment.

Seeing the heavily bleeding remnant of Blood Robe Tower, how could they still be clueless?

As soon as the words were spoken.

The floor tiles crumbled.

Revealing a huge tunnel.

The strong remnant of Blood Robe Tower quickly darted into it, and the others, realizing the truth, lost their erstwhile composure.

In panic, they quickly followed.

”Pursue!”

The Peak Master of Feixian Peak, Ji Qiubai, laughed coldly, charging into the tunnel first with his sword.

Many disciples of Feixian Peak, who had yet to jump off the flying ship, were astonished but felt a surge of morale upon witnessing this scene.

So it was all within the Peak Master’s plan!

The Peak Master wasn’t injured after all!

It was all a facade!

Watching this unfold, Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised, and after disembarking from the flying ship, he didn’t follow the excited Feixian Peak disciples, who vowed to slaughter all remnants of the Blood Robe Tower and the Chen Family, into the tunnel.

But Wang Nian was blazing the trail.

Charging ahead faster than anyone else.

Running and shouting about getting rich!

Unable to stop him, Wen Jiu could only let him rush forward, while he stayed behind the crowd.

He was wary of them putting on an act too.

True or false.

False or true.

Who could really tell?

So, Wen Jiu decided to first follow the disciples of the Night Patrol Department to deal with the Chen Family outside, after all, killing one Chen Family member would earn twenty low-grade spirit stones.

Not seeking a big haul.

But seeking a steady gain.

”Lao Hei, go!”

Wen Jiu immediately rushed into the burning Chen Family Mansion with the black corpse.

Seeing the approaching Chen Family members, he effortlessly killed them with a single Magic Power Flick, then sliced off their right thumb.

As proof for claiming the reward.

”Twenty!”

”Twenty!”

”Twenty!”

In just a moment.

He earned a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It’s best in the sect.

Loose cultivators don’t have such perks for killing enemies.

However, although he earned spirit stones, he was puzzled by one thing.

Why would the Chen Family collude with the remnants of the Blood Robe Tower?

As Wang Nian said, obviously the Blood Robe Tower had a blood feud with them. Not saying they’d fight to the death, but at least they should be extra hostile to their enemies.

It can only be for profit, it seems.

But what kind of profit could make one forget a family feud and instead collude with their enemy?

While pondering, Liu Xiao’s voice rang out in the air, ”Night Patrol Department disciples, quickly resolve all the Chen Family members, then search the surroundings for other exits, and don’t let a single Blood Robe Tower remnant escape!”

Following the voice.

Liu Xiao stood firm with his spear amidst the burning houses, but before him was an elderly Chen Family member, crying in grief, who was also at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer. It seemed these words were intentionally directed at him.

And he was clearly infuriated by Liu Xiao’s words, shouting with tears in his eyes, ”Feixian Peak, damn Feixian Peak... The Chen Family is finished, my Chen Family’s three hundred-year foundation is completely over.”

Liu Xiao spoke coldly, ”Chen Feng, from the moment you betrayed Feixian Peak, you should have been prepared for this. I not only want to kill but to eradicate the entire Chen Family! Your relatives outside won’t be spared either!”

The Chen Family elder roared in defiance, his body bursting with blood energy, ”Then today, you will be buried along with us!”

The words fell.

Chen Feng shot out explosively.

With a raise of his hand, he conjured a bloody Ghost Hand and viciously grasped at Liu Xiao, who confronted him head-on, wielding his spear.

Their clash was immediate.

Liu Xiao was sent flying backward.

He retreated ten zhang before he could stabilize himself.

Then his expression changed.

”Never imagined the Patriarch of the Chen Family, the eldest son and grandson of the former Peak Master, would fall so low to become a Heterodox Demon, practicing blood magic to cultivate the Blood Ghost Hand of the Blood Robe Tower!”

Chen Feng roared, ”To restore the glory of the Chen Family and no longer be trampled by your Feixian Peak, any means to grow stronger is the right path! It’s unfortunate you came just as my Blood Ghost Hand reached the third layer...”

With that declaration.

Chen Feng once again charged at Liu Xiao.

Wen Jiu watched the scene, with no intention to assist.

Because he sensed an energy emanating from the Chen Family Mansion, a surge of blood qi was gradually rising.

Perhaps greater trouble was approaching.

Sure enough.

In the next moment, countless demonic creatures burst forth from the ruins among the flames, crazily attacking the Night Patrol Department disciples. Of course, they didn’t spare the Chen Family either, killing any they encountered.

Just thirty zhang away from Wen Jiu, the battling Night Patrol Department disciples and Chen Family members had no time to react before several demons overwhelmed them, biting their necks.

Under the demonic frenzy, those disciples and Chen Family members were decapitated on the spot, terrifying many disciples into retreating quickly. One or two demons were manageable, but dozens were extremely frightening.

Wen Jiu also stepped back.

Because the number of demons was not only large, but their strength was also formidable, each body akin to a Body Refining Second Layer cultivator.

Even for Qi Cultivation Third Layer, dealing with them was not easy, let alone the ordinary Qi Cultivation Second Layer disciples of the Night Patrol Department.

There were at least five or six around him!

However, fortunately, there was a Black Corpse guarding him.

None could approach him.

But Wen Jiu was not pleased.

”It seems, as I suspected, remnants of the Blood Robe Tower were not entirely unprepared.”

Perhaps.

They anticipated this day long ago.

Just then, Wen Jiu noticed the demons torn open by the Black Corpse’s claws, their wounds oozing with rich blood qi, which made Wen Jiu suddenly think of something.

Blood qi.

Demon flesh.

Corpse blood cultivation precisely requires demon flesh.

Isn’t this convenient?

Level-entering demons are not easily found.

And unaffordable.

After all, one jin of meat costs a Low-grade Spirit Stone.

These beast-like demons here, each weighing at least one hundred jin!

Upon realizing this, Wen Jiu instructed the Black Corpse to slaughter the demons with full force, an Upper Realm Black Corpse paired with Triple Blood Transformation Body, shredding ordinary level-entering demons effortlessly, tearing apart any in its path.

In moments, three demons fell to the Black Corpse.

Saving nearly three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Saving is equivalent to earning.

Equivalent to gaining three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

At that moment, Wen Jiu didn’t regret coming here after all. Though dangerous, in such a short span, he earned a decade’s salary.

With a raise of his hand, Wen Jiu used Corpse Eye to devour and absorb, then continued to hunt demons with the Black Corpse.

However.

The more they killed, the more they came.

Only then did Wen Jiu notice that demons kept emerging from beneath the Chen Family’s houses, as though there was a demon nest underground.

”Demon nest!”

Wen Jiu was startled.

Instinctively glanced at the ground beneath him.

Could it really be there?

Seeing the ever-increasing number of demons emerge, already numbering over a hundred, chasing and tearing at the Chen Family and Night Patrol Department disciples.

Wen Jiu instantly understood; it was the Blood Robe Tower’s people arranging a do-or-die strategy, they indeed foresaw this.

Quite ruthless.

”Time to withdraw.”

Though the Black Corpse was powerful.

Facing an onslaught of more than a dozen demons, there was little recourse.

Rather than exhausting corpse energy, better to retreat first.

With this thought in mind, Wen Jiu glanced at the now advanced Liu Xiao, who had a new ally and gradually gained the upper hand, and upon seeing no need for assistance, repelled a few attacking demons before slowly pulling back.

Retreated outside the Chen Family.

Retreated into the Red Maple Forest.

After jointly slaying three pursuing demons with the Black Corpse, Wen Jiu then sought higher ground to quietly observe the Chen Family’s battle situation.

Just at that moment, Wen Jiu saw Chen Feng suddenly unveil a talisman, a palm-sized demon skin Blood Talisman.

Even from a mile away.

Wen Jiu recognized its extraordinary nature.

Blood Talisman.

Even more Heterodox Dao than a Yin Talisman.

Yin Talismans are at least drawn normally; Blood Talismans require a large amount of Cultivator Essence Blood.

A Blood Talisman demands at least the death of several cultivators.

And the greater the Blood Talisman’s power, the stronger the cultivators it requires to kill.
