Chapter 124: 103. Buyu Monk
Songyang Town, the biggest town within Tongling County, though incomparable to the three counties, still boasted a population of over seventy thousand, with hundreds of martial artists. Incredibly, right under the watchful eyes of the prefectural city, it had been slaughtered...
Bai Dongyu and Hou Yuduan realized the severity of the situation at the same time, as countless resentful spirits began to stir!
They didn't charge up directly, but instead all entered the bodies on the ground, and what followed was a spine-chilling scene.
The broken corpses on the ground all stood up in twisted postures, then turned to the duo with cackling laughter growing louder and more sinister, creating a moment of extreme dread.
Before the duo could react, the corpse monsters controlled by tens of thousands of resentful spirits surged forward, all claws and teeth.
Although Bai Dongyu was visibly frightened, his movements were not slow. He clenched his fists, a dense Gangsha coalesced around them, and he ferociously smashed at the closest corpse monster approaching.
Bang!
Ah...
The corpse monster was immediately smashed to pieces, and its spirit tried to flee but was still stuck by Bai Dongyu's Gangsha, then turned to ash with only a scream left behind.
The triumphant Bai Dongyu did not relax his expression but grew even more serious, striking like pounding the sea, each blow taking one or several corpse monsters controlled by the resentful spirits.
Even so, as Bai Dongyu fought back the tide of corpses, he turned to Hou Yuduan, who was by his side, and said in fear, "These corpse monsters, all have cultivation of third or fourth body-opening, they are too many, we need to find a way to break through, you..."
Bai Dongyu had originally thought that Hou Yuduan, being at the peak of the Coagulate Gang phase and not having cultivated Gangsha, could at best only shatter the bodies of the corpse monsters without being able to kill the resentful spirits. Thus, he had purposely stood in front of Hou Yuduan, but upon looking back, he realized he was wrong.
In Hou Yuduan's hands, the Dragon Dust Sword shimmered with a layer of Holy Light, and the corpse monsters simply died upon contact, even the fleeing resentful spirits turned to ash instantly upon touching the white light.
He dealt with the group of corpse monsters as easily as chopping vegetables, the dense sword light instantly clearing a path two to three meters wide.
"Good lad, you've kept this hidden deep, Confucian Righteous Qi!"
Bai Dongyu, being a nephew of Bai Yunfan and a well-traveled man, pondered for only a moment before he recognized the origin of the white light in Hou Yuduan's hand, his face immediately showing a hint of joy.
Demons and evil spirits of the world are most afraid of this Confucian Vast Righteous Qi. Shen Xiao had abandoned them and fled alone; he had just worried that tonight might be their end, but unexpectedly, Hou Yuduan gave him such a great surprise in a blink of an eye.
However, he was clearly celebrating too soon!
The endless tide of corpses was not to be taken lightly. Hou Yuduan and he had fought hard for a full quarter of an hour, yet the path remained only two to three meters wide with no change whatsoever. Their combat had only provoked the viciousness of the corpse monsters, which intensified their attack.
As they slaughtered the corpse monsters, they leaped up, and seeing the continuous tide of corpses still coming from behind, both of them broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
Suddenly, a flash of Qing-colored lightning struck fiercely from right in front of them, instantly slicing through a dozen corpse monsters along with destroying the resentful spirits. A thin figure briskly moved through the tide of corpses—it was Shen Xiao, who had just fled.
The duo was stunned. Shen Xiao had just fled through the archway behind them, how had he reappeared from the front...
"Songyang Town has been wiped clean, controlled by a demon capable of manipulating mind and spirit, we must have already been trapped in a demonic barrier without realizing it. That cunning demon is hiding, controlling these corpse monsters to fight us!" Shen Xiao mentioned with a fearful tone, the Lei Kun Sword in his hand chopping down corpse monsters, his eyes constantly scanning around, obviously afraid of the demon suddenly appearing.
Hearing his words, Hou Yuduan's face darkened, his tone grave, he asked, "Is there any way to break this demonic barrier?"
"You have Vast Righteous Qi, right? Find the demon's true body. This barrier must have been released by it; as long as you find it, you can break it!"
This was why the cowardly old man dared to come and join them, having seen the Confucian Righteous Qi on him. Hou Yuduan and his companion couldn't help but purse their lips, thinking it was because Shen Xiao had a change of heart.
Despite not liking Shen Xiao, but now concerned about their safety, Hou Yuduan didn't think much, focused his Vast Righteous Qi into his eyes, and leaped up to the arch of Songyang Town, scanning across the entire town.
But other than the desolate, hopeless tide of corpses, he saw nothing...
"No good, I see nothing."
"Useless!"
Shen Xiao cursed Hou Yuduan silently, and after seeing no hope in him, his Lei Kun Sword flashed with lightning again, taking away dozens more resentful spirits.
Standing by his side, Bai Dongyu, though still waving his fists, felt a sense of despair rise in his heart.
Conversely, the most comfortable person at this moment was Hou Yuduan.
Right after his leap onto the archway, although the corpse monsters could still follow, they couldn't mass on it heavily.
And they were clearly terrified of the Vast Righteous Qi on Hou Yuduan's sword edge. After killing hundreds, they started to act timidly, no longer attacking him madly, instead switching their main target to Shen Xiao and Bai Dongyu on the ground.
What do you think?
