Chapter 1499: This Is a Ghoul

"What was that just now?" Su Yan asked, still shaken.

"Not sure, but it had a stench of a corpse; it certainly wasn't a normal person." Chen Yu leaned down, looking at the liquid on the ground. A rotten smell surged over; this nauseating odor seemed to be the smell of a rotting corpse.

"Something like a Walking Corpse?" Su Yan asked.

"Doesn't look like it. Although there is a corpse stench, Walking Corpses don't move this quickly, and in that place, Fusang, there is no such thing as a Walking Corpse." Chen Yu shook his head: "Let's keep watching. That thing is hiding in the dark; it seems to have human consciousness. It's waiting for us to let our guard down."

Su Yan nodded. Seeing Chen Yu's grave expression, she couldn't help but feel nervous herself. She knew of the Ghoul, a very formidable creature in the legends of Fusang.

This thing was indeed formidable, because even Chen Yu could not lock onto its location. Although it belonged to the corpse category, it was different from zombies or Walking Corpses.

This creature had a high level of agility, moved like the wind, and possessed keen senses. It was practically a bug-like existence among these fierce corpse-type creatures, except that they were few in number, and it was difficult for an ordinary Onmyoji to keep one.

But the Onmyoji encountered this time really had some tricks up his sleeve, to actually be able to tame this thing.

The two walked slowly forward. Suddenly, a sharp wind flashed slightly behind them again. This time, Chen Yu's reaction was extremely swift. The moment the wind swept past his back, he turned around abruptly and slashed a sword toward his rear.

*Sshhh*... The thing behind him was split in two from the middle and fell heavily to the ground.

Su Yan hurriedly turned around, the gun in her hand pointing at the ground.

She was an ordinary person. Although she had received professional training, she was only slightly better than an ordinary person. Therefore, when she encountered these things, only by holding the gun in her hand could she feel a little bit of comfort in her heart.

Looking at the person who fell to the ground... no, this person could not actually be called a person.

His skin was gray-blue all over, and his face was even more terrifying. Although he had been cut diagonally from his left chest, he still kept his copper-bell-sized eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Chen Yu.

"He's actually still alive?" Su Yan felt it was inconceivable; the scene before her shocked her quite a bit.

"Ghouls have tenacious vitality, like some cold-blooded animals. Even if you cut him into two pieces, he might still reconnect his body and regenerate." Chen Yu's expression became increasingly serious; the guy in front of him was truly troublesome.

"Reconnect his body and regenerate?" Su Yan lowered her head and looked at the Ghoul. At this look, she couldn't help but gasp.

She saw the Ghoul on the ground twisting its limbs, desperately wriggling its body, trying its best to piece its severed body back together.

His body pieced itself into one, and sickly green liquid flowed all over the ground. Under his efforts, his body, which had been severed into two, actually really pieced itself back together.

Then he stood up with difficulty, raised his head, and a strange smile appeared on his terrifying, pale, and vein-covered face. Immediately after, he stretched out his claws and reached toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu slashed out with his sword, severing his claws, and he stumbled back two steps.

Although his body had already been hacked into a mangled mess by Chen Yu's several sword strikes, that strange smile still appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his other hand.

Chen Yu sneered. Although this guy had tenacious vitality, it wasn't enough to stump a Spirit Rhinoceros Realm Dharma Cultivator. He thrust his right hand forward, and the Lichen in his hand pierced through the Ghoul's head.

At the same time, a surge of Primordial Qi poured into the Ghoul's head. A spark erupted, and immediately after, firelight instantly filled the Ghoul's entire body.

A hoarse roar came from his mouth, and then he stumbled backward. His figure turned into ten thousand sparks and then disappeared without a trace.

With a retraction of his right hand, Lichen vanished from Chen Yu's hand. The entire movement was smooth and fluid, without the slightest hesitation.

Just after resolving this Ghoul, several Star Arrays suddenly lit up around the two of them. Above each Star Array, there was an Onmyoji wearing a long robe and a very tall hat.

And they looked exactly the same; this was a Phantom Art where one person split into several.

Several Onmyoji simultaneously crossed their hands to form a hand seal, and at the same time, they stretched out their hands. Several strands of Mind Power condensed into firelight, forming a whip that lashed toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's wrist tightened, being firmly bound by the opponent. He struggled, attempting to break free, but these several strands of Mind Power condensed into one force, which was indeed a power not to be underestimated. Under this struggle of his, he actually did not manage to break free.

Immediately after, these Onmyoji retracted their hands, intending to subdue Chen Yu. Their movements were surprisingly uniform, making them impossible to guard against.

Chen Yu, of course, would not be subdued by these people so easily. He sneered, took a deep breath of Primordial Qi, and then sank his body, spreading his arms. The Primordial Qi erupted in this instant. With a *hum*, several rays of brilliance whistled over, shattering all the fire ropes wrapped around his arms.

Then, Chen Yu moved his Divine Sense, having already locked onto one of the Onmyoji. Then he condensed his Primordial Qi and struck toward the opponent with a palm.

*Whoosh*, several figures retreated one after another, finally condensing into one person. This was the main body of that Onmyoji. His body paused, and he retreated seven or eight steps in succession before barely stabilizing his figure.

Just after stabilizing his figure, his two hands quickly formed seals. His figure flickered, splitting into three. Then, the expressions on the faces of the three phantoms gradually became ferocious, and after a moment, they turned into three Ghouls.

These Ghouls roared and then lunged fiercely at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu moved his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, rushing forward, and he thrust Lichen out in succession.

His figure crossed paths with the bodies of the several Ghouls. *Puff, puff, puff*, three sounds, and those three Ghouls, amidst wails, turned into specks of firelight, and then their figures turned into ashes. A gust of wind blew by, and the ashes scattered with the wind.

That Onmyoji appeared again. He brought his palms together, quickly changing his finger seals, clearly about to unleash another underhanded trick.

Chen Yu would not give him this opportunity again. His figure flickered, surging forward, and he struck toward him with a palm.

This Onmyoji beckoned with his right hand, and a ring of light appeared. Before Chen Yu could strike, he dove into the ring of light and disappeared.

Immediately after, a ring of light formed behind Chen Yu, and the Onmyoji's figure suddenly emerged from this ring of light. He struck toward Chen Yu with a palm.

Chen Yu turned around abruptly, reaching out to grab him, but before he could touch the Onmyoji's figure, this guy dove into the ring of light again.

His movement speed became faster and faster, disappearing from one ring of light and then emerging from another, making him impossible to guard against.
