Chapter 151: Corpse Poison

"Such terrifying Corpse Poison." Meng Yifan's expression changed drastically; he keenly sensed that his body was undergoing a bizarre transformation.

The nails on his hands and feet were rapidly lengthening and becoming sharp, just like small Daggers.

Meng Yifan also sensed that his upper and lower gums were itching, as if two pairs of fangs were about to bore out from within them.

Moreover, the color of his skin was also undergoing a drastic change; the blood-red hue faded, turning into a pale white, and his blood vessels turned pitch-black, looking like small snakes crawling all over his body, a sight that made one's hair stand on end.

Not only that, some of the Corpse Poison within Meng Yifan's body was rushing toward his brain, wanting to contaminate his Divine Soul.

If Meng Yifan's Divine Soul were to be contaminated by the Corpse Poison, he would lose his sense of self and become a walking corpse.

Meng Yifan mobilized the True Qi within his body to suppress the Corpse Poison, wanting to force it out of his body, but the Corpse Poison was like maggots on a bone; although the thick True Qi of a Third Grade Martial Artist could suppress the spread of the Corpse Poison, it could not expel it, which gave Meng Yifan a massive headache.

Meng Yifan took a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, which contained the Detoxification Pill formulated by Liu Zhongyong; according to him, it could neutralize dozens of common poisons.

Liu Zhongyong's background was very mysterious, and the poisons he formulated were extremely powerful; even Third-grade Monster Beasts and Third Grade Martial Artists could be affected by the poisons he concocted, which was very rare.

Because as Martial Artists or Monster Beasts continuously evolved, their skin, muscles, bones, and even microscopic cells, every single part underwent magical changes, like a leap in life, becoming a higher-level existence.

"I hope the Detoxification Pill can neutralize the Corpse Poison." Meng Yifan took out a small red pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

He did not know what medicinal herbs the pill was made of; after entering his body, it quickly turned into a stream of cool energy, beginning to circulate within Meng Yifan's body. When it encountered the pitch-black Corpse Poison, the two were like natural enemies that could not coexist, engaging in a fierce struggle.

"Eh! It really works." Meng Yifan discovered with pleasant surprise that as the Detoxification Pill took effect, the speed at which the Corpse Poison spread decreased once again.

When Meng Yifan was first poisoned by the Corpse Poison, his body would have completely mutated into a Zombie in about an hour; after circulating his True Qi to suppress the Corpse Poison, his body would still mutate into a Zombie in about two hours.

Taking the Detoxification Pill, combined with circulating True Qi to suppress the Corpse Poison, greatly reduced the speed at which the Corpse Poison spread.

However, what made Meng Yifan uneasy was that although the speed of the Corpse Poison's spread was very slow, it was still slowly advancing; at the current rate, in four hours at most, he would completely mutate into a Zombie.

"I must end the battle as quickly as possible and find Liu Zhongyong to take a look; I hope he has an antidote for the Corpse Poison." Meng Yifan was anxious, holding the Ghost Head Blade in one hand and the Luolong County Great Seal in the other, charging rapidly toward Zuo Moyan.

Zuo Moyan was also in a fluster now; he had used Zombies to form a large meatball to protect himself, but he was forcefully interfered with by the Spiritual Power of over twenty thousand Subjects under Meng Yifan, and the Control Array within many of the Zombies was destroyed by the collective Spiritual Power.

The Bloodthirsty ghost rats were charging madly and were already on the verge of exploding. Zuo Moyan was terrified; he wanted to retreat into the Valley, only to find that the Zombie meatball originally used to protect him had now become immobile, turning into a cage that blocked his exit, which was very awkward.

While waving the Command Flag to mobilize more Zombies from the Valley to assist in the battle, Zuo Moyan said quickly, "Kid, I can help you neutralize the Corpse Poison. If you let the Bloodthirsty ghost rats leave, we can turn hostility into friendship, how about that?"

"You give me the antidote first," Meng Yifan said.

"There is no cure for Corpse Poison; only by letting me cast a spell on you can the corpse energy be extracted." Zuo Moyan was getting anxious and urged, "Kid, if you don't want to turn into a Zombie, hurry up and let the Bloodthirsty ghost rats leave. It is about to explode; if I am blown to death, you will have to turn into a Zombie."

"Cast a spell on me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Meng Yifan sneered.

Zuo Moyan was a demonic practitioner who used children to refine Zombies; if he wanted to perform a ritual on Meng Yifan, he was likely trying to refine Meng Yifan directly into a controllable Zombie.

Meng Yifan did not believe Zuo Moyan's nonsense, preferring to finish him off and then search his body to see if he could find any medicine to neutralize the Corpse Poison.

Meng Yifan quickened his pace and joined Shuke in besieging Zuo Moyan.

Zuo Moyan was trapped inside the Zombie meatball and could not get out, so he could only engage in close-quarters combat with Meng Yifan and Shuke. However, Zuo Moyan was a Third-Grade Immortal Cultivator; although his physical fitness was slightly stronger than an average Second Grade Martial Artist, it was far inferior to Meng Yifan's, and he was soon beaten black and blue by Meng Yifan.

Zuo Moyan also waved the Triangular Command Flag to mobilize some Zombies, but he only had three Third-grade Zombies and one Flying Night Yaksha. The elites of his Zombie army had already been used, and the rest were just ordinary Zombies that couldn't be brought to the table; not only was their power low, but their speed was also very slow, and they couldn't help at all.

"It's a pity that I obtained the secret scroll too recently and found too few children of the right age; otherwise, I could have refined more Flying Night Yakshas, and I wouldn't have been forced to this point by a kid like you who hasn't even grown his hair out," Zuo Moyan said.

"I'll ask you one last time: let's stop here. From now on, we won't interfere with each other, how about that? If you want to rebel, go ahead; I won't stop you, and I can even help you fight. How about it?"

"Demonic practitioner, you are devoid of conscience, using children to refine Zombies. I disdain to associate with you. Go to hell!" Meng Yifan thrust the Ghost Head Blade in his hand forward, intending to pierce Zuo Moyan through.

"You forced me to this. If you want me dead, then let's die together." Zuo Moyan's expression was ferocious, and then he took a deep breath, his stomach swelling up, similar to the large belly of a Flying Night Yaksha, filled with an extremely chaotic Yin Attribute energy.

"Die, all of you die!" Zuo Moyan shouted, and then his large belly exploded violently, black-red pus gushing out and enveloping Meng Yifan.

"Damn it! He can even self-destruct." Meng Yifan was shocked and quickly swung the Ghost Head Blade in his hand, wanting to block the incoming black-red pus. His speed was very fast, and the Ghost Head Blade swung like a Wind Turbine, but unfortunately, a lot of pus still splashed onto his body.

This pus was even more terrifying than that of the Flying Night Yaksha; Meng Yifan felt as if he had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, his skin was corroded, and waves of even more violent Corpse Poison spread into his body.

The Detoxification Pill formulated by Liu Zhongyong could only barely suppress the Corpse Poison of the Flying Night Yaksha, but it could not resist Zuo Moyan's Corpse Poison at all.

Even though Meng Yifan mobilized all his True Qi, trying his best to suppress the spread of the Corpse Poison, the Corpse Poison within his body was still spreading toward his brain, internal organs, and other vital parts at an astonishing speed.

The speed of his body's zombie transformation accelerated greatly; at this rate of toxicity, perhaps in just twenty minutes, he would completely mutate into a Zombie that only knew how to kill.
