Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Formidable Black Corpse

”Earth Yin Blood Talisman!”

Both Liu Xiao and another steward from the Night Patrol Department quickly recognized this talisman, as its notorious reputation was too fierce. Even after several years, it remains a nightmare in the minds of many Qi Refining Cultivators.

Disciples from Deadman Peak who perished under this talisman number at least a thousand, if not three thousand, and many have suffered lifelong disabilities due to it.

The most terrifying aspect is that even though it is a Tier One Lower Grade, it can still shake Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer cultivators. Qi Cultivation Third Layer individuals are basically dead upon contact. This is a feat that both Yang Talismans and Yin Talismans are incapable of achieving.

The reason is simple: the Earth Yin Blood Talisman is driven by life-force.

Activating one talisman.

Costs a year or two in life-force.

Or even up to ten years or more.

An elderly person like Chen Feng, even just using one talisman, probably doesn’t have many years left to live.

So when Chen Feng took out the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, Liu Xiao and the other quickly realized that Chen Feng wanted to perish along with them!

”Retreat!”

Liu Xiao swung his spear backward, propelling his body into a sudden retreat, and the other steward from the Night Patrol Department hurriedly followed.

But Chen Feng, sneering, pursued them, clearly not wanting to give Liu Xiao and his companion any chance to escape. He raised his hand, tightly gripping the Earth Yin Blood Talisman. In the next moment, a torrent of blood flowed from his palm into the blood talisman.

In just a blink, Chen Feng seemed to age seven or eight years.

This caused Liu Feng and his companion’s faces to suddenly change. When they saw Chen Feng throw the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, they were so shocked that they quickly threw out the magical artifacts in their hands while pulling seven or eight defense talismans from their storage bags to activate them.

The next moment.

A deafening explosion echoed through the skies.

Boom—

A massive burst of Earthly Evil Yin Qi and blood energy erupted from the Earth Yin Blood Talisman, transforming into a crimson ring that spread outward.

Wherever the crimson ring passed, whether demon corpse or Chen Family members, or even disciples of the Night Patrol Department.

All were instantly turned to ash.

Without any time to react.

After the crimson ring dissipated, within a hundred-zhang radius, nothing remained except Liu Xiao and his companion, all were erased by the crimson ring.

Though Liu Xiao and his companion survived, the price was self-exploding their magical artifacts, exhausting all their defense talismans, and their bodies suffering significant impact, leaving only about thirty percent of their strength, nearly heavily injured.

”What a pity... it was only a medium quality Tier One Lower Grade Earth Yin Blood Talisman...” Seeing Liu Xiao and his companion hadn’t died, Chen Feng muttered regretfully.

As the words fell.

He also spat a mouthful of blood.

His breath weakens further, yet the frenzy on his face became even more hideous.

The next moment.

Chen Feng suddenly turned around and flew towards the outskirts of the Chen Family territory.

His speed evidently enhanced by some talisman.

Liu Xiao intended to pursue, but was stopped by the steward of the Night Patrol Department beside him, ”Don’t chase, catching up with him, he might very well perish along with us... First deal with the demons below, the later it gets, the more people will die!”

Liu Xiao glanced at the disciples of the Night Patrol Department engaged in fierce battle with the demon corpses, felt the chaos within his magical power, and his nearly severe injuries, he helplessly refrained himself, allowing Chen Feng to escape.

As for the other stewards of the Night Patrol Department, seeing this scene, they also dared not pursue, opting to deal with the demon corpses first.

Strong enemies aren’t frightening.

What’s frightening is a strong enemy who doesn’t even care about their own life.

What if he has another Earth Yin Blood Talisman?

Without the steward present, anyone who chases will die.

However.

In the Red Maple Forest, Wen Jiu saw this scene and was bewildered.

Damn!

He’s coming towards me!

”What terrible luck!”

Just hiding in the Red Maple Forest, merely avoiding the sharp edge for a moment.

How could the strongest and craziest person from the Chen Family be heading towards me?

Without hesitation, Wen Jiu directly used the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, intending to temporarily avoid the conflict, allowing Chen Feng to leave, especially since the Earth Yin Blood Talisman was too terrifying, filling his heart with deep dread.

However.

Chen Feng crashed into the Red Maple Forest after just a few breaths, clearly unable to fly any longer on magical artifacts.

As he fell, his whole body stooped a bit, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, his previous hideous and frenzied aura reduced to barely ten percent.

Seeing Chen Feng taking out a few Divine Movement Talismans to increase his speed from his storage bag, Wen Jiu instinctively looked at the Black Corpse beside him.

At this moment.

His distance from the Black Corpse to Chen Feng was only three zhang away.

Perhaps a sneak attack could succeed.

If not, he could escape using Blood Corpse Escape.

The Black Corpse instantaneously understood, rolling with sinister ghostly energy towards Chen Feng.

”Ghost creature!”

Chen Feng was startled.

But the Black Corpse was only three zhang away, with its speed under the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, Chen Feng had no chance to cast a spell to block it.

Panicking, Chen Feng pulled out a talisman, not a Blood Talisman, but a normal Tier One Lower Grade Yin Talisman.

But its quality was top-notch!

As the Yin Talisman activated, a massive sinister ghost face appeared, rushing towards the rapidly approaching Black Corpse.

Instantly, the ghost face bit into the Black Corpse.

Chen Feng’s face lit up with joy.

But his face quickly changed yet again.

Because the ghost face was torn open by the Black Corpse with just a swipe, like tearing thin paper, reaching him in an instant.

Thud—

The two hands, filled with sinister ghost energy, pierced into Chen Feng’s chest, already a spent force, Chen Feng lacked the ability to activate another talisman for protection, and could only be torn apart by the Black Corpse’s direct attack in disbelief.

Witnessing this scene, Wen Jiu was genuinely a bit shocked—Black Corpse at the top realm, combined with the Blood Transformation Body and Three Rivers Ghost Concealment was actually so strong!

A top-tier Tier One Lower Grade Yin Talisman, comparable to the full force of a Qi Cultivation Third Layer Heterodox Cultivator, was torn apart just like that.

”If it evolves into a walking corpse... how strong would it be?”

Wen Jiu was filled with anticipation.

Could it tear apart a Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer with bare hands?

Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu glanced outside the Red Maple Forest, noticing the Steward of the Night Patrol Department had already taken note of the disturbance here.

Without a second thought, Wen Jiu swept his Divine Sense, grabbed his storage bag, and quickly vanished into the forest with the Black Corpse.

Leaving only a corpse and an eerie ghost aura scattered around.

Exactly the same as when he killed Fang Zheng and the others.

...

Dozens of breaths later.

Wen Jiu was already in the dense forest three miles away.

All around was silent.

Not even the sound of birds, beasts, or insects.

Only the continuous roar of magic and magical artifacts coming from the direction of the Chen Clan Territory, as well as from underground.

Originally, Wen Jiu planned to find a place to calm his mind and check what he had obtained from the corpses, but as soon as he stopped, he sensed a surge of blood aura from the Chen Clan Territory. Turning his head, a blood-colored light shot up from the ground.

The overwhelming blood aura, its richness, momentarily entranced Wen Jiu and made the Black Corpse excited.

Two thoughts arose spontaneously.

How much blood aura is beneath there?

Why does it feel more than the Corpse Remains Death Land?

Though a bit excited, Wen Jiu forced himself to stay rational, as the sudden surge of blood aura was definitely abnormal.

”What’s happening down there...”

After pondering repeatedly.

Wen Jiu decided to return later with the main group to check the situation below.

If there’s danger, he can escape using Blood Corpse Escape.

No matter how deep the groundhole is, it couldn’t possibly be more than twenty miles deep.

Blood Corpse Escape covers five miles each time.

Considering the abundant corpse energy within the Black Corpse, it can still be used three times.

When Wen Jiu circled around the back of the Chen Clan’s mountains and returned to the battlefield from the other side, the demon corpses had already been dealt with, and seeing Mu Canglong and Si Kongbai appear in the Chen Clan Territory, Wen Jiu understood everything.

Upon Wen Jiu’s appearance, Mu Canglong, Si Kongbai, and Liu Xiao all directed their gazes at him.

Mu Canglong’s heavy eyes seemed to relax significantly upon seeing Wen Jiu, perhaps having thought he was dead before. Si Kongbai was cold, with an indistinct hint of hostility.

Clearly.

He still remembered the matter of Li Ye.

And held a grudge.

Wen Jiu didn’t mind this.

As long as Mu Canglong was around, he wouldn’t dare act against him.

As he got closer, Liu Xiao quickly rose from his seated state, healing wounds, and delightedly said, ”Wen Jiu!”

”Brother Liu.”

Wen Jiu walked forward slowly, holding the thumbs of several Chen family disciples as he greeted Mu Canglong and the others. Liu Xiao’s hand patted him on the shoulder, ”Not bad, not bad, not only unharmed but also managed to kill a few.”

”Just lucky.”

Wen Jiu replied humbly.

Then he glanced around.

There were many demon corpses.

But there were also quite a few corpses of the Night Patrol Department disciples.

At this moment, they were neatly placed on the open ground, with more than thirty in total.

Seeing this scene, Wen Jiu felt a mix of emotions.

Meanwhile, Mu Canglong also glanced at Wen Jiu with satisfaction but finally focused on the Black Corpse, sensing something was wrong. Even after probing with Divine Sense, something still felt off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

But he had an intuition.

The Black Corpse had become stronger.

Perhaps it was not far from advancing.

This kid!

This kid’s Left-hand Path talent is truly terrifying!

Even more potent than the creator of the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique!

Mu Canglong looked at Wen Jiu, eyes filled with surprise and complex emotions but didn’t express it directly.

”Alright, take what you can, leave what you can’t, with me here, no one will dare to rob the Night Patrol Department’s spoils!” Mu Canglong’s words dropped as he turned to gaze at the deep, bottomless groundhole behind him.

”Everyone.”

”Prepare to enter!”

With those words.

Wen Jiu’s gaze shifted from the corpses to the blood atmosphere-filled groundhole.

At this close distance, the severity of the leaked blood aura from the groundhole equaled the central area of the Corpse Remains Death Land.

If they continued to go deeper.

One couldn’t imagine how much it could be.

This also piqued Wen Jiu’s curiosity about what these remnants of the Blood Robe Tower were doing underground.

Hehe.
