Chapter 152

Watching the Miao King's head explode in front of him, with even flesh and blood splashing on his face, Yongjie turned his head away, unable to bear looking.

Although he didn't hold back in the slightest when striking the Miao King, he knew very well that the Miao King, or rather Ge Puqi, was telling the truth.

She still remembered everything; she had just changed.

And Li Miao's words were not solving the problem, but just teaching him how to avoid this problem—she doesn't love you anymore, so don't talk about feelings. Just kill her according to Jianghu morality; anyway, doing things according to great principles can't be wrong.

That's what was said, and Yongjie could do that.

But, just as Xingchi couldn't let go of this Jianghu before he died, Yongjie couldn't just let go because he wanted to. Watching his wife's head explode in front of him, how could Yongjie not be moved?

A while later, Yongjie pulled out his fist, his face showing grief, and he reached out to catch the Miao King's falling corpse.

Bang!

A muffled sound, and Yongjie suddenly retreated violently!

It was Li Miao who had imprinted a palm on Yongjie's chest, knocking him back!

Yongjie's eyes changed in an instant, and he raised his fist to strike toward the Miao King's corpse.

Li Miao's strike was not to hurt anyone; the force covered his entire body, just to knock him back. Li Miao wouldn't shoot without a target; doing this meant—the Miao King wasn't dead yet.

Li Miao also unleashed a "Great Nine Heavens Palm" from the air, striking the headless corpse together with Yongjie.

Bang!

Both of them struck with full force; in an instant, the corpse suddenly exploded, severed limbs and arms splashed, and blood sprayed.

Yet it didn't revive again.

At this moment, the Gu insects around that had been driven away by the things An Ziyang prepared had gradually gathered around, and when they passed the Miao King's shattered corpse, they actually started eating it directly.

In just a moment, the corpse had disappeared.

Yongjie scanned left and right, casting a questioning look at Li Miao.

"Inside the head is a Gu insect."

Li Miao said indifferently.

"I killed a few Heavenly Human Gu soldiers on the way here; there were no brains inside their heads either, just a pile of Gu insects. I brought a few Great Shamans of the Twelve Branches over before; after she killed them, she could also talk to me through the Gu insects in their bodies."

"She said that Gu insects don't think and don't speak. That means someone is manipulating this body through the Gu insects."

"The Miao King is not dead yet."

Yongjie suddenly turned his head to look around.

There were still some insect corpses on the ground ignited by kerosene, swaying with firelight, dispelling the darkness of this space.

This space was not large, only a few dozen zhang square, and could be seen at a glance. Yongjie's gaze swept over, and in just an instant, he took in the entire situation here.

Yongjie suddenly felt cold all over.

In a tide of Gu insects, more than a dozen snow-white human bodies were vaguely revealed.

Beautiful faces, graceful figures, stark naked, hands hanging down, standing blankly.

Eyes closed.

Every face was exactly the same as Ge Puqi's.

Buzz—buzz—

The Gu insects vibrated their wings, making a buzzing sound.

That sound was originally noisy and scattered, but it paused, slowly becoming orderly, carrying a certain rhythm.

Finally, it gradually integrated.

"Buzz—Hus—Husband—"

"You—look—"

"I—compensate—you—"

In the darkness, a beautiful humanoid figure opened its eyes and spat out cold words.

"I'll compensate you with ten Ge Puqis, how about that?"

Yongjie's expression changed in horror, the veins on his neck bulged, his eyes were red, and he was already furious.

"You!"

That humanoid figure smiled sweetly and reached out to touch her own face.

"Husband, look, this body of mine is exactly what I looked like at twenty. The skin is tight; isn't it better than your original wife who was over thirty?"

"I'll compensate her to you; you can take her back to Shaolin to play with~"

"Hahahaha—"

"Husband, you can shave the hair off this body of mine and put on a cassock. A Shaolin Abbot with a little nun, isn't that just right? Your master, seeing that Shaolin finally has a successor, will also be comforted in heaven, right?"

"Hahahahaha—"

That humanoid figure laughed crazily, and Yongjie's gums had already been bitten until they bled.

If she were just insulting him, Yongjie could endure it. But these words clearly insulted Ge Puqi, Xingchi, and Shaolin together, already touching Yongjie's reverse scale. His eyes were about to crack, and he only felt that the operation of his internal energy was almost out of the cycle, and his murderous intent was surging.

Li Miao walked up and patted Yongjie on the shoulder.

"Master, calm your mind."

"She is attacking your heart, wanting to disturb your state of mind."

"Your Heavenly Human realm was forcibly raised, your foundation is unstable; if you go into demonic deviation, you will likely be seriously injured and dying immediately. Don't fall for it."

"Thank you, Benefactor, for the reminder."

Yongjie squeezed words out from between his teeth, silently reciting the "Heart Sutra," forcibly gathering his thoughts.

Li Miao turned to look at that humanoid figure and said.

"So, now we're playing ghost hunting, right?"

There were sixteen naked humanoid figures standing around.

As soon as Li Miao finished speaking, the eyes of these sixteen humanoid figures opened in unison and said in unison.

"Yes."

"You find me, I die. You don't find me, you die."

Li Miao smiled.

"But you don't seem to have a way to kill me?"

The sixteen humanoid figures said in unison.

"Every one of these bodies of mine stores Gu poison."

"For every one you kill, the Gu poison in the air becomes a point thicker."

"My daughter tried it; a Three-Way Integration Heavenly Human expert can only hold on for ten bodies. After ten bodies, your cycle operation will be stagnant, and your flesh will gradually melt."

"After twelve bodies, you will surely die."

They reached out in unison and pointed at Yongjie.

"Husband, you used the Shaolin secret method to forcibly raise your realm; you don't have many days to live. You don't have another chance to kill me."

"Come on, this is your last chance to kill me."

"Let's see if you die first, or I die first."

Li Miao sneered and said.

"Still lying; sure enough, beautiful women are the best at lying."

Li Miao flashed, and his figure disappeared.

The Miao King looked up; Li Miao had already appeared in mid-air.

"Since we're playing a life-betting game, don't cheat."

Li Miao said coldly, raising his right leg, his force surging.

Smashed down violently!

Boom!!!

Like an earth dragon turning over, in this small space, the entire ground suddenly lifted! Broken stones flew!

Li Miao reached out his hand into a claw and suddenly inserted it into the broken stones.

He pulled his arm out!

In his hand, he was actually clutching a humanoid figure that was struggling continuously!

In another direction, Yongjie also punched through a head exposed from the ground.

And in other directions, three snow-white humanoid figures were also revealed in the broken ground.

Li Miao's fingers exerted force.

Bang!

The head he was holding exploded, and the headless corpse fell.

"Twenty-one bodies; you put sixteen on the surface and hid five under the ground."

"Now there are nineteen left."
