pitiful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I died so miserably...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-pitched cry of a woman grew from small to loud, from distant to near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like someone was whispering beside his left ear, blowing cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causing a burst of chill to instantly spread to his neck, auricle, and other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi jerked his head around, but saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Playing tricks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently activated the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique, and the Secret Blood circulated rapidly inside him like fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant flush of crimson over his skin surface eradicated the coldness thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I died so miserably!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you come to save me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice came again, on his right side, making Lou Yi’s heart skip a beat, and the rapidly circulating Secret Blood slightly stalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his right side waist, he also felt a chill, as if a piece of ice was stuck on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi delivered a vicious punch towards the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pa!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a force of four to five thousand pounds, it produced a sharp tearing sound, like a large firecracker igniting and exploding in the Deceitful House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I died so miserably!\" The voice did not weaken in the slightest, and the chill on his body remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful force had no effect on it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be immune to physical attacks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pa!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi delivered another punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This punch was augmented by Secret Blood, its power surpassing the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of his fist glowed a bright red, clearly visible in the pitch-black night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female spirit let out an incredibly sharp scream, and an invisible wave spread out from Lou Yi like ripples in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, leaving his gaze a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red from the Qi-Blood on his skin rapidly faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, a red old candlestick on the table flew towards Lou Yi’s side with incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rusty iron tip gleamed with an eerie black light in the dark, aiming for his carotid artery at the neck, stabbing fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it pierced through, even with a martial artist’s physical strength, the outcome was likely grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the purple Treasure Pearl from Qi Bao in Lou Yi’s pocket suddenly glowed brightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s eyes instantly regained clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger on one side, he lunged forcefully to the other side, evading the charged strike of the red candlestick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was it a mental attack?’ Lou Yi felt a bit frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for wearing Qi Bao’s pearl, he might have suffered a substantial loss today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you’ll take one from me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splitting Mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi got angry and threw a third punch forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest rose and fell rhythmically, the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique operated at high speed, and the entire right fist turned blood-red, with even a billowing white steam visible coming off it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hu!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This punch had more force than before, with a sound deep and heavy, like a prehistoric beast’s low roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an invisible energy emitted from the surface of the fist, covering the location Lou Yi sensed the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second scream issued, and compared to last time, it noticeably carried a tone of pain and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s head also took a heavy hit from the sound wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, prepared and with the presence of the purple Treasure Pearl, Lou Yi did not sink into confusion like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he still felt a splitting headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was enraged, the Mountain Opening Skill activated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arm turned into an indiscernible black blur, the fist into a Red Agate, and in an instant, he threw five consecutive punches at the source of the sound, each punch utilizing 100% of his strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghastly creature let out consecutive screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candlestick that had been suspended in the air also fell to the ground with a ’clang,’ clearly heavily injured and unable to control physical objects anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even its form couldn’t be concealed anymore, gradually appearing in the air as a vague white shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white shadow vanished in an instant, darting towards the direction of a dry well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to escape?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi sneered, his right foot stomped fiercely into the ground, causing a deep pit to form instantly in the muddy earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his body shot like a cannonball behind the white shadow, reaching its rear in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mid-air, every muscle in Lou Yi’s body tensed, his back arched like a bow, his waist like a string, and his right arm like an arrow, delivering a hook punch heavily towards the white shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splitting Mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi felt a metallic taste rise in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the consequence of excessively using advanced skills, but in order to eliminate this ghastly creature, he pressed on with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white shadow emitted a scream, its vague form flickered unsteadily, as if about to be extinguished like a candle in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it managed to withstand, continuing its flight towards the dry well, just one step away from the wellhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Piercing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi mobilized Secret Blood to impact the Candle Dragon Acupoint, feeling a tingling in his chest, with his inner Qi-Blood surging forth for a second explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every muscle in his body visibly bulged, all aligned in one direction, rolling like waves and surging dramatically towards the right arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single punch he had exhausted his strength on birthed a second, stronger force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This force made Lou Yi’s fist itch and swell, as if it would explode without release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch landed, the air shattered, akin to a thunderous explosion out of the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white ghastly shadow, about to escape to a safe zone, froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It expanded and contracted repeatedly, finally exploding with a ’pa’, leaving no trace in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a white pearl fell into Lou Yi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pearl was the size of a longan seed, slightly smaller than the purple Treasure Pearl, emitting a faint glow in the darkness, clearly a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, familiar semi-transparent small text appeared: ’Energy +3, absorb it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yes.’ Lou Yi silently chanted in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ghostly being increased energy more than an average martial artist or spirit creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it’s also much more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t mastered the Mountain Opening skill, he might not have made it out of this house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi wiped under his nose, his fingertips stained with red, his brain nearly splitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Opening skill consumes extreme amounts of energy, overuse can deplete Primordial Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lou Yi’s appearance was somewhat terrifying at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nose bleeding, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, face pale, eyes lifeless, as though he had suffered a severe illness and was not long for this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name column in the Attribute Panel turned from pure green to pale red, with a faint ’+’ sign appearing behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expend a bit of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool liquid entered his body from the void, quickly repairing his injuries in all limbs and bones...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having settled the ghastly creature, Lou Yi wasted no more time, heading out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his ears twitched, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silent village, the night wind carried over the faint sound of a distant conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, that kid’s been fooled inside, should be biting the dust now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just him alone isn’t enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I’ve already lured three waves of people in, should have worn that grudge spirit down enough, perfect for us to take advantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice, you’ve done well, I’ll mention this to the young master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master Lei, for the kind words...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","e2791e0b8617231f4a4fbda64d7a5f70688d407fbc0aa1f742b1f1372a262338","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-110","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-108",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
