Chapter 92: Demonization of the Evil Corpse

  (The last week was strongly promoted, thank you brothers and sisters for their persistent votes...)

  ……

  After the punch was thrown, Chen Mo was also slightly surprised. Although there was no apparent move or momentum earlier, it had secretly combined with the overbearing and majestic meaning of that Ta Huang Thunder Path, and had brought out that strand of Ta Huang Thunder Qi to its fullest extent.

  That angry strike, a surge of power within him like the mighty thunder on the vast earth, was unstoppable and burst out. Savoring it carefully, he suddenly felt that his fist intent had greatly improved.

  Although it was only for an instant, it made the crowd in front of them seem like they were in a different realm, as if the person standing in front of them was not the tattered Chen Mo from just now, but a ancient ferocious god who wielded lightning and judged the world!

  The four of them suddenly fell silent, and the crowd behind them had their hair standing on end, with a faint chill running down their spines. Even Jiang Chen, the most formidable one, narrowed his eyes, as if deep in thought, and for the first time, he took Chen Mo seriously.

  "Hmm!" Chen Mo carefully savored the atmosphere of the Thunderclap afterimage for a moment, then continued on his way with Little Turtle, walking out of this empty space.

  It's unclear whether they were intimidated or because Jiang Chen, who was leading the group, didn't make a move, but it ended up with everyone watching them leave.

  Some trivial matters were soon thrown to the back of his mind.

  One by one, they followed the turtle deeper into the Devil's Swamp, and their surroundings became increasingly treacherous.

  Withered wisteria, old tree withered branches broken roots, scattered and reborn.

  In the withered forest, large and small muddy bogs are scattered all over, as far as the eye can see, and it's hard to count them. From time to time, some mud would churn up and down, it's unknown whether it's the miasma rising or the poisonous insects shuttling back and forth.

  A dense and mysterious aura, like a thin fog, carrying the breath of decay and confusion, drifted everywhere, obscuring one's vision.

  The Great Brightness Mantra is turned, and the most yang and strong brightness mysterious energy rises suddenly.

  His entire body was emitting a faint, pale blue glow. As he took a step forward into the denser demonic energy, the surrounding demonic energy quickly cleared out a small circle of several feet in diameter. The dark demonic energy that came into contact with his body was like layer upon layer of white snow touching scorching hot steel, silently melting away.

  The Great Brightness Spirit Incantation seems to have been born to suppress this kind of filthy demon, destroying the withered and rotten.

  With this advantage that others can't match, Chen Mo has gained a lot of advantages in this demon's den.

  To deal with this kind of stubborn demonic poison, one must either rely on a strong and dense aura to forcibly resist it, or consume some precious medicinal pellets, such as the Protective Body Pellet, to counteract its effects.

  Even so, the effect is far from being as effortless as Chen Mo's, who seems to be strolling in his own backyard.

  Night fell, Chen Mo chose a withered and dead old tree as his nest for the night.

  After a day of rushing around, he lit a bonfire under the tree, ate some dry rations, and lay down on the wide branches of the old tree to rest for a while.

  The night's demonic swamp was eerily silent, and the demonic aura grew thicker.

  The sky is pitch black, without a single star or moon in sight. The surroundings are shrouded in thick, rolling fog that's as dark as ink.

  The surrounding marshy waters also began to rise with the tide, gradually connecting into a piece, like a black glass merging with the surrounding black mist.

  As the night deepened, gusts of deathly wind blew gently from the direction of the dead city. The wind was mixed with wails like those of monsters, breaking the previous silence of the demon bog.

  Chen Mo was startled awake, such a far distance, yet the sound reached his ears, piercing his soul. What great resentment.

  Standing on the high branch of an old tree, looking far into the distance.

  It's simply outrageous!

  The surrounding demonic aura was like a huge canopy, tightly shrouding the entire demon swamp from the direction of the dead city. Only the bonfire under the tree swayed uncertainly in the gloomy wind, and apart from that, not a single light source could be seen.

  The dense demonic aura made Chen Mo secretly shocked. If not for his own bright Xuan Qi being able to easily suppress the demonic aura, even a pre-heavenly strong cultivator would have a hard time here.

  As the bonfire was about to go out, Chen Mo jumped down from the tree and added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire.

  Under the firelight, Chen Mo discovered that in the distance by the black water's edge, several dark human figures were slowly swaying towards his direction.

  This is...

  Chen Mo was wondering how someone could have walked here, had they seen the fire he lit?

  "A low growl, like an animal but not quite, like a human but not quite, echoed over."

  What the heck is this thing?

  Only four figures were seen in front, and they had slowly walked to the edge of the flames.

  Chen Mo looked carefully and his eyes narrowed, his expression extremely solemn. Before him, the four men had faces as black as coal, their teeth sharp and jagged, their eyes pitch-black, making it impossible to distinguish between the whites and pupils. Their bodies emitted a faint dark iron glow in the flickering firelight, with threads of black gas flowing rapidly beneath their skin. One of them even had half his face torn off like an animal had gnawed at it.

  What's there is a person? It's clearly just one of those legendary demon corpses.

  Chen Mo had also heard that in this world, there would be some people who would be invaded by demonic energy and turn into demonic corpses.

  Even now, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill run down his spine despite his calm demeanor.

  These few have a coloration that should be at the Iron Corpse level, with combat strength comparable to that of an early-stage Spirit Master.

  Only two iron corpses were seen in front of them, suddenly revealing their sharp teeth, letting out a long howl, and charging towards Chen Mo like a ferocious beast.

  On the eve of battle, Chen Mo became even more calm, holding his breath and steadying his mind. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and launched a powerful Golden Road Opening Blow at the iron corpse rushing towards him.

  Under the urging of the majestic and mysterious aura, a simple move burst forth with astonishing force, sending the ferocious iron corpse flying backward, crashing into the swamp with a loud thud.

  Borrowing momentum, he swept his leg back and kicked another one flying.

  Its body flashed like lightning, rushing upwards from below, meeting the other two iron corpses that followed. One of them bowed its head, suddenly leapt up, and with both claws grasped the necks of the two iron corpses, slamming them fiercely to the ground.

  The iron corpses struggled to counterattack, but Chen Mo counted down and launched a fierce punch, his fists imbued with the aura of light and mystery. The two iron corpses were knocked into the ground, their chests bursting open as black smoke billowed out.

  The iron corpse that was previously drawn away stood up again, and came back to life with a loud roar, fearless of death.

  Chen Mo's face was cold and indifferent, he raised his hand and grabbed the iron corpse, lifting it off the ground by several feet, then fiercely slammed it to the ground. He lifted his leg and kicked with one foot, making a "puchi" sound, as if stepping into rotten mud, and crushed the corpse's chest with one kick.

  In a flurry of strikes, in just over ten breaths, Chen Mo had utterly annihilated the four iron corpses.

  The Bright Mystical Aura seemed to have a natural restraining effect on these demonic creatures. Looking at the four corpses with surging black aura dissipating before his eyes, Chen Mo's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  This dark energy feels like I've seen it somewhere before, maybe... the poisonous gas inside Qu Tianya's body. It also seems a bit like the poison that the Second Elder and the Great Elder of the family were afflicted with.

  Could it be...

  No sooner had he fallen into a silent reverie than a loud wail suddenly came from behind him.

  Two more zombies caught wind of a living person's scent and came charging forward, one in front of the other.

  In front of him, the one with a copper-iron luster all over his body was obviously an even more powerful Copper Corpse. And behind it, there was another one with an even more majestic aura, fierce flames raging, its skin like white silver wrapping around its body, extremely ferocious.

  It's not over yet, Chen Mo secretly operated the mysterious energy, and the meaning of thunderbolt rose in his chest. The whole person seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the two corpses face-to-face, leaving behind a trail of residual shadows.

  As he approached the copper corpse, Chen Mo suddenly ducked down and swiftly dodged under the copper corpse's claws, meeting the silver corpse head-on as it rushed towards him.

  Underfoot, the wild and desolate thunderous sound was faintly audible, one foot swiftly shot out, directly and forcefully kicking the silver corpse's belly. Originally, it should have been a full-powered kick, but somehow, it felt as if the foot had kicked against steel-reinforced concrete, causing the calf to go numb with shock.

  Jian Yin's corpse retreated a few steps back, and wisps of black smoke rose from his abdomen.

  What a powerful monster, it's probably no less than a high-ranking Spirit Master.

  He stomped his foot and swung out a more overbearing "Thunder Cannon" with his hand. Suddenly, the bright mysterious energy gathered rapidly in his hand, mixed with the intention of rushing thunder, and the cyan-white light burst forth with a loud crackle.

  A loud rumble, the silver corpse let out a mournful howl as it was sent flying several meters away.

  Chen Mo hadn't even had time to catch his breath when the copper corpse approached, raising its hand to block a claw. His body flashed, and a "Vajra Quake" struck the copper corpse's chest like a wooden mallet striking a bell, causing it to retreat several steps, stumble, and spew out black gas.

  His fighting style has never been about fancy moves, but rather about using brute force to overpower his opponents. He excels at taking on powerful foes like the undead.

  The braver you are, the more courageous you become; the more courageous you are, the more fierce you become.

  In a flash, he was already behind the copper corpse, his hands grasping it like iron pliers. With a low growl, his hands stiffly lifted the copper corpse up.

  With a slight upward motion of both hands, he stored up his strength and unleashed a "Vajra Tower"! The powerful blow shot out with a loud "Boom!" like striking a bronze pillar. The bronze corpse crashed heavily to the ground ten feet away.

  After being tempered by the I Ching Dan and Jin Zhong Zhao, his physical strength has also become much stronger than before. If it were done previously, he would not have been able to achieve such a powerful and overbearing feat.

  At this time, the silver corpse stood up again as if it didn't feel any pain, and was about to launch a fierce attack.

  One copper one silver, two magical corpses. Almost equivalent to a mid-tier spirit master and a high-tier strongman, indeed not easy to deal with.

  He immediately retreated backwards, picked up Xiao Ba who was lazily hiding aside to watch the battle: "What kind of war pet are you? Help me drag that Silver Corpse for a moment, I'll come after I've dealt with the Copper Corpse."

  Xiao Ba glanced at him, then lazily turned his head back, his eyes disdainful of the two demonic corpses. As if to say, are these even worthy of Shen Shou's attention?

  "Two products of spiritual elixir, one pill, no bargaining." Chen Mo said temptingly.

  The tortoise heard the two words "Ling Dan", its eyes widened, and it let out an excited cry as it charged towards the silver corpse like a fierce beast.

  Soaring high, Xiao Ba transformed back into his true form in mid-air, swelling up against the wind. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a three or four zhang long, over one zhang wide giant turtle with a ferocious and sinister exterior. Like a small mountain, he charged towards Yin Shi. A long wail like ghostly crying and wolf howling came from behind Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo was speechless for a moment, this guy's explosive strength was truly astonishing, and he had actually defeated the Silver Corpse in a battle of abilities. Once it grew up some more, its abilities would probably surpass those of the Innate.

  Maybe later we can suppress its combat effectiveness.
