Chapter 340: The Monster Appears, Who Will It Kill?
Under the influence of fresh human blood, all the walking corpses evolved, becoming bigger and more powerful than before, appearing more menacing and blood-thirsty.
“Ha-ha-ha-ha Die! Die for me! Rip them apart!” Brother Di manically shook the Soul-Attracting Bell in his hand, his eyes filled with madness.
Mary too, began to shrilly scream from the side. “Kill! Kill! Kill! Anyone against Brother Di deserves to die!”
The evolved corpses had gained the ability to leap, exhibiting impressive explosive power. With a strong push from their legs, they could jump several meters into the air, pouncing at their prey.
These level of zombies had begun to develop a cover of impenetrable skin. Even if Lin Jing started to shoot at them, the bullets could no longer penetrate and would be thrown back.
Moreover, their nails had grown even longer and sharper, capable of eviscerating anyone with a single swipe.
At this time, one zombie after another leapt forward, ready to slaughter Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing.
A mocking smile crept onto Huang Xiaolong’s face, as he took out a suppressive talisman from his bag. He tossed several onto the foreheads of the zombies who began to dissolve. However, they seemed to dissolve slower than before.
“This…this…this is impossible! A suppressive talisman shouldn’t be able to destroy an evolved corpse! You! You…who are you?” Brother Di was finally taken aback.
“Ha-ha-ha ordinary suppressive talismans can only suppress and destroy ordinary corpses. But, the ones I’m using, I’ve drawn myself…Oh? Grasped their power yet? As I’ve said before, a bunch of lame ducks. “Huang Xiaolong retorted cavalierly.
While Huang Xiaolong was talking, Lin Jing couldn’t help but turn her gaze to him. She saw him standing tall amidst the gloom, calm and collected, like a statue. He was devilishly handsome and frivolous in-between, which left her slightly spellbound but her bravery only grew, feeling that with him by her side, they could overcome any crisis.
“Damn it!” Brother Di cursed quietly. He finally realized that he had underestimated them. He hadn’t expected this young Taoist to be so powerful!
Brother Di started shaking the Soul-Attracting Bell more frequently, causing the zombies to charge towards Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing like mad demons in a strategic formation.
Under Brother Di’s control, a group of zombies fought like well-trained soldiers, demonstrating combined strength that was greater than the sum of their individual abilities.
Lin Jing assessed that if these zombies, controlled by the corpse herders, were let loose on society, it would result in catastrophic consequences. Even if the army were to intervene, they’d suffer a heavy cost!
However, Huang Xiaolong remained nonchalant, throwing out a variety of signs and Taoist magics, confusing them and converting the zombies into pus.
The battle ended within 20 minutes.
The zombies controlled by Brother Di were all annihilated by Huang Xiaolong, not a single one remained.
“HeyGot any other tricks? Your underhanded tactics are simply not up to scratch,” Huang Xiaolong taunted Brother Di.
“Enough with your cheap tricks, just surrender!”Lin Jing declared righteously.
Just then, Brother Di burst into laughter. “Ha-ha-ha-ha Ha-ha-ha-ha~You think that’s all I’ve got? Ha-ha-ha-ha To be honest, I was just stalling for time…I made it! Ha-ha-ha! I made it! Now, you are definitely dead! My darling…come out!”
As he spoke, Brother Di began shaking the Soul-Attracting Bell once again!
Roar
A loud roar, like a tiger’s bellow, erupted from the ancient well.
Amidst the roar, the entire basement seemed to shake a few times.
Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing turned to the source of the sound, a cloud of blood fog, resembling a mushroom cloud, erupted from the ancient well, filled with malicious evil Qi!
Next, two bloody claws grasped onto the edge of the well, ready to crawl out, akin to a demon emergence!
“Little Long! There…there’s a more formidable zombie coming out!”) Lin Jing furrowed her brows, “That guy was stalling for time on purpose, waiting for the birth of the well creature!”
“Ha-ha-ha-ha I’ve finally succeeded! I’ve finally nourished a blood corpse! I drained countless ho okers of their blood, fed plenty of Yang Qi, and finally, my masterpiece, my darling, is born! I, Di, am the first in my family to birth a blood corpse! I am the pride of my family! With this blood corpse, I exist at the top of Binhai’s food chain! No one can defy me! I can kill anyone I want! I can destroy anyone I want! Wealth, women, power…they’re all mine! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”
Brother Di broke into frantic laughter, his countenance a portrait of demented ecstasy.
Elated beyond words!
“Brother Di, congratulations! All these years of hard work have finally paid off!” Mary started to flatter and fawn on him from the side.
“Don’t worry, Mary, you’ve followed me for many years, I won’t forget your merits.” Brother Di assured her arrogantly.
“Oh, a blood corpse.” Huang Xiaolong nodded nonchalantly. “To rely on a blood corpse to rule Binhai, I can only say, your mind is out of order.”
“Nonsense! I’ve cultivated this blood corpse, using the filthy blood of hundreds, if not thousands of prostitutes, and allowed walking corpses to absorb the Yang Qi from men, thus, feeding the blood corpse! This blood corpse is the king of all zombies!” Brother Di’s utter madness displayed his arrogance.
“Sister Jing, blood corpses are remains of bodies that have turned in a geomantic treasure site. Their attack power is pretty good, immune to blades and spears, and their bodies carry poison. A living person in contact with them, will dissolve into pus within seconds. Tomb raiders are most afraid to run into blood corpses.” Huang Xiaolong started explaining to Lin Jing praтtling on and on. “But by and large, blood corpses are just a lower-grade version of zombies and moreover, those bred artificially, they are naturally weaker than naturally formed blood corpses. There’s no need to worry about them.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong smiled at Brother Di. “Although blood corpses are weak, do you think you can control one with your abilities? You’re being too naive. How about this… let’s both stand still and see whether your blood corpse will kill you or me first… Ha-ha-ha-ha~~~~”
Suddenly!
Roar
With a roar, a creature about 2 meters high, its face obscured by blood, jumped out of the ancient well!
Its whole body was wrapped in blood Qi, making it impossible for anyone to see its true identity, except for its furiously brutal, gloomy-colored eyes and its claws, which were about a foot long, and sharper than a knife!
The stinky blood all over it sizzled wherever it dripped, creating a puff of green smoke and corroding holes into the ground.
“Darling! My darling! You’re finally out! My years of cultivation haven’t been in vain. From today, you’ll be my son! My darling son! Ha-ha-ha Kill! Kill them!” Brother Di, shaking the Soul-Attracting Bell, ordered the blood corpse.
Huang Xiaolong remained unmoved. “I already said that I’ll just stand and watch to see whether your raised blood corpse ends up killing you or me… keep shaking your bell”
