Chapter 74: Fang Yi strikes! Confronting the White Stiff!

In an inconspicuous corner.

The City Lord's Wife's eyes turned slightly cold as she stared at the group that had suddenly broken into the City Lord's Mansion, intending to assassinate the City Lord, and she let out a disdainful snort.

"A bunch of trash."

If it weren't for the City Lord constantly playing along, treating you like monkeys for his amusement, you lot wouldn't deserve to be alive till now.

She lightly shook her head, no longer paying them any mind, and turned to walk toward the room where Fang Yi and the others lived.

But she hadn't gone far when she spotted the sneaky Shen Huairen, and couldn't help giving a light smile as she said, "Doctor Shen, what are you doing here?"

"Madam?"

Shen Huairen's face shifted, and he stumbled backward.

He hadn't expected that, having just arrived, he would run into this City Lord's Wife.

"How come? You're nervous?"

The City Lord's Wife smiled charmingly, stepping closer step by step.

Her scarlet tongue instinctively licked her lips.

"No, I'm just old and came to have a look."

Shen Huairen, strong and composed, said, "I'll take my leave first."

He turned and walked off, about to leave this place.

"Doctor Shen, since you're here, don't go."

An icy, indifferent voice came from behind.

A thick surge of danger, like a gale, swept straight at Shen Huairen's back, making every pore on his body snap upright and his skin prickle with pain.

He was greatly startled, hurriedly trying to resist with all his might, but unexpectedly, at that moment a white‑clad, stern‑faced man flashed into view, seized Shen Huairen in one grab, his palm bearing a scarlet‑burning terrifying poison, and slammed it straight toward the City Lord's Wife.

Boom!

With a blast, the deadly poison spread, and the sound rumbled.

Fang Yi grabbed Shen Huairen, and in an instant used the force to fly backward ten or so meters.

The City Lord's Wife's face also shifted slightly; her body floated back a step, feeling a burning sensation and discomfort.

"Poison King Ouyang Feng!"

Fang Yi's face turned icy, then he released Shen Huairen and said, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out now!"

"Thank you, thank you."

Shen Huairen's face was shocked; he repeatedly thanked and quickly left the area.

A man's name, a tree's shadow.

During this time, the Poison King Ouyang Feng's fame spread throughout Qingyang City; hardly anyone was unaware of him.

He actually took the opportunity to enter the City Lord's Mansion?

Could it be that he also knows the City Lord's Wife is a monster in human form?

"Mr. Ouyang, have I not offended you? You're not a constable‑in‑chief, are you? Why would you act against me?"

The City Lord's Wife showed a smile, probing.

"I'm delighted!"

Fang Yi's voice was hoarse.

"Delighted?"

A fleeting, barely perceptible cold glint flashed in the City Lord's Wife's eyes as she lightly laughed, "What a delight."

Her killing intent surged, a cruel smile rose, and dozens of ways to torment a person already appeared in her mind.

Boom!

Sand and stones flew, the aura terrifying.

The space before them seemed to blur in an instant.

The City Lord's Wife's body vanished in an instant, then suddenly appeared right before Fang Yi, her five fingers like hooks, wielding an unfathomable terrifying power, and she lunged to claw wildly at Fang Yi's face.

Fang Yi's body flickered, and he abruptly stepped back.

But the City Lord's Wife clung to him like a shadow.

Fang Yi not only failed to dodge, but saw the chilling five fingers drawing ever closer, as if they would land on his forehead the next moment.

At the critical moment, his fingers rose, imbued with deadly poison and blood strength, and he pointed straight at her palm.

Hiss!

Boom—rumble!

With an explosive blast, power surged and the air exploded.

Both figures were flung backward.

Fang Yi was bodily hurled away by the City Lord's Wife's absolute strength.

The City Lord's Wife had transformed into a White Stiff; her power was immense, clearly that of a Muscle‑Tendon Changing Realm expert, her strikes carrying the force of a mighty elephant.

The City Lord's Wife, meanwhile, was instantly invaded by Fang Yi's three deadly poisons, her viscera aching, and she was forced to fly backward.

At this moment.

The City Lord's Wife's face grew gloomy, as if meeting a drop of water, her robes fluttering as she gazed at her own palm.

Only a scarlet mark surfaced within her jade‑white palm.

The strange, overbearing poison had already entered her body, like three different poison dragons raging and wrecking inside her; even her blood strength could not stop it in the slightest, instead igniting upon contact.

Even her bones transmitted waves of stabbing pain.

"What an Ouyang Feng—I'll make you die in a way too horrible to behold!"

The City Lord's Wife's voice was grim, already somewhat distorted.

But the next moment, her complexion suddenly changed, as if sensing something, she hurriedly flew back, performing a dodge.

Boom—

Suddenly, the surrounding ground exploded, and the earth veins trembled.

Innumerable terrifying deadly poison surged out from the earth veins, like a volcanic eruption, the poison tyrannical, rolling and shaking, madly covering her body.

"Ah!"

Instantly, a shrill miserable cry rang out, sharp and piercing.

The City Lord's Wife's body was submerged by countless deadly poison surging from the earth veins, as if terrifying sulfuric acid had been poured on her all at once, her whole body hissing and smoking, she struggled miserably, her voice tragic.

Fang Yi seized the opportunity, at the instant the City Lord's Wife was covered by countless 'Earth Poison', his body flickered, he instantly approached, a clanging sound came from all over his body, the Poison Fire Vajra Armor directly emerged, and then he struck like lightning, both palms covered in terrifying scarlet flames, directly madly bombarding down upon the City Lord's Wife's body.

Overlord Poison Fire Palm!

Linked Eighteen Forms!

Boom boom boom boom!

The sound rumbled, the palm force exploded, innumerable fire poison madly drilled into the opponent's body.

In the blink of an eye, all eighteen moves of the poison fire palm were finished, he abruptly switched martial arts.

He shot out his fingers like lightning, making a hissing sound, simultaneously containing threefold deadly poison of fire, earth, and metal, he rapidly jabbed at the opponent's vital points all over the body.

Sever Pulse Sever Soul Finger!

Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

Thirteen Consecutive Fingers!

Every move is a deadly point!

After all points were struck, his five fingers were like dragon claws, grim and terrifying, he suddenly grabbed at the opponent's face.

"Howl!"

Suddenly, a painful and terrifying howl burst from the City Lord's Wife's mouth, Fang Yi's expression changed, he instantly felt a terrifying unknown aura surge forth, directly sensing a life-and-death crisis.

Without thinking, he deployed Poison Shadow Mirage, instantly retreating.

Boom—

Just as he had retreated, innumerable corpse and death qi erupted directly from the City Lord's Wife's body, like a terrifying black waterfall, directly madly charging toward Fang Yi.

Fang Yi pushed the Vajra Armor to the extreme, his body surface glowed, countless runes flickered, simultaneously he connected with earth vein power, boundless earth vein energy surged forth, forming a second defense on his body surface.

Boom boom boom boom!

Wave after wave of linked booms rang out, the whole ground shook violently.

An indescribable violent aura swept wildly in all directions.

Finally, that terrifying death and corpse qi were completely blocked.

Fang Yi's body also directly retreated tens of meters away, his gaze solemn, he looked at the City Lord's Wife.

At this moment, the City Lord's Wife had long since lost any human form.

There appeared a terrifying existence, two and a half meters tall, covered head to toe in sinister white hair, ugly visage, nails like hooks, its five features almost painfully twisted together.

Her entire body hissed continuously, emitting a putrid stench, some pores oozed poisonous fluid, multiple areas of her body suffered corrosion from deadly poison.

Even the flesh and hair on her surface had melted considerably.

"Damned thing, I will have you cut into thousands of pieces, torn into minced meat!"

The City Lord's Wife's voice pained, she stared fixedly at Fang Yi.

The deadly poison within her body was unimaginable; even though she manifested the White Stiff prototype, she could not resist it.

She felt her viscera, bones, and meridians seemed about to melt entirely.

Even her abdomen transmitted excruciating pain.

"Howl!"

The City Lord's Wife let out a howl, carrying terrifying corpse and decay qi, she lunged forward madly, both her strength and speed greatly increased.
