Chapter 166: You Are Truly Useless

The Corpse Fiend stared at the two of them; suddenly, its body lunged forward violently. Yan Yue flipped her hands, let out a sharp cry, and a faint light radiated from the Dharma Mirror, attempting to suppress this thing.

But once a walking corpse becomes a fiend, its strength increases greatly, so the Dharma Mirror did not have much effect, though it did at least cause its figure to stall, stopping its advance.

Chen Yu, to the side, stepped forward and smashed a fist out.

Bang! He threw this punch with almost his full strength, but it was like hitting a piece of tree bark; the Corpse Fiend only retreated a few steps, its movements unaffected.

Once this thing becomes a fiend, it is impervious to blades and spears, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, the mark on his wrist lit up, and Lichen appeared in his hand. He slashed out with the sword, and three streaks of Sword Qi whistled out, attacking the Corpse Fiend.

Pfft, pfft, pfft—three wounds erupted on the Corpse Fiend's body. It let out a roar and retreated several steps in a row.

After all, it is a Seven Brilliance Weapon Spirit; even if the power Chen Yu exerted was limited, it is still the nemesis of such yin-fiend entities.

The Corpse Fiend roared a few times, its voice carrying a trace of shock and even more fear. Suddenly, its right hand slowly lifted upward.

The six corpses behind it, covered in white cloth, suddenly sat up in unison, then began to walk toward the two of them with stumbling steps.

The corpses were all recently deceased; the Corpse Fiend forced the corpses' yin energy to condense in their hearts, so they could flip up and be controlled by the Corpse Fiend to harm people.

Yan Yue, to the side, flipped her hands with the Dharma Mirror. A faint light suddenly appeared on the mirror, dispelling the yin energy, and then these corpses fell to the ground in a jumble.

Chen Yu rushed forward, and the Lichen in his hand sealed off the path with a sword strike. With a flash of cold light, the Corpse Fiend was struck by the sharp Sword Qi; it staggered a few steps, then turned and ran.

Chen Yu leaped up, broke through the window, rolled on the ground a few times, and pursued the Corpse Fiend closely.

Yan Yue was startled; this was the third floor, and Chen Yu just jumped down like that? She rushed to the window, but Chen Yu had already gone to chase the Corpse Fiend. She turned and went downstairs, chasing after them.

The Corpse Fiend's movements were extremely fast, almost like a gust of wind. Moreover, this was a funeral home, and there were dead people everywhere. Wherever it went, the yin energy was intense, causing the dead to slowly sit up. For a time, the entire funeral home felt quite like a Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.

Chen Yu passed through these walking corpses like a gust of wind. He waved his right hand, and more than ten Paper Talismans suddenly scattered, turning into streams of light that attached themselves to the bodies of these dead people. The dead spat out a mouthful of yin energy and then fell to the ground, motionless.

Boom... Chen Yu smashed through a door and appeared in the backyard. He stopped abruptly, only to see that the walking corpse had stopped, but it was already clutching a person in its hand—this person was none other than Feng Yuanlong.

"Senior Brother." Yan Yue, who followed behind, was startled. The Dharma Mirror in her hand moved, ready to strike.

"Do not act rashly; he is a hostage now," Chen Yu shouted to stop Yan Yue.

Yan Yue was slightly stunned. Sure enough, the walking corpse was holding Feng Yuanlong with one hand, while the long, slender fingernails of its other hand were pressed against Feng Yuanlong's temple.

The walking corpse's eyes, filled with fiendish energy, stared at Chen Yu and Yan Yue, seemingly warning the two not to act recklessly.

"Junior Sister... save, save me." Feng Yuanlong was scared pale. He was supposed to be guarding the entrance, but now the Array Flag in his hand had fallen to the ground.

If this guy had properly guarded the entrance and waved the Array Flag when the Corpse Fiend came out, the Corpse Fiend would have been subdued by now. But he had to go and barge in recklessly; honestly, even if he were wiped out by the Corpse Fiend, no one else could be blamed.

The Corpse Fiend's right hand formed a claw, and the sharp claw-tips brushed across Feng Yuanlong's face. It tilted its head to stare at the two, actually revealing a smile like a villain who had gotten his way.

Suddenly, there was a warmth between Feng Yuanlong's legs, and a yellowish liquid flowed down his legs. This guy had actually been scared to the point of peeing himself.

The Corpse Fiend seemed unable to bear the smell; it threw Feng Yuanlong forward violently and turned to flee.

Thump—Feng Yuanlong slammed heavily into the wall and rolled onto the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had been displaced.

Chen Yu chased out quickly. This thing triggered the array Chen Yu had set up upon exiting. For a moment, a faint light flashed, and it was immediately caught by the array.

Chen Yu arrived shortly after, and the Lichen in his hand struck forward. With a pfft, the guy's chest was pierced through by Chen Yu's sword. It let out a long hiss toward the sky and turned back in anger, wanting to fight Chen Yu to the death.

Chen Yu had Talisman Paper in his hands and formed a Dao Seal. With a whoosh, six talismans flew out on their own, tightly adhering to the Corpse Fiend's body. Following that, he let out a violent shout, his hands moved in succession, and with a boom, flames soared into the sky.

A terrifying roar came from the Corpse Fiend's throat. It fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then became motionless. The flames gradually extinguished, and it turned into a pile of ashes.

Only then did Chen Yu heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy hadn't become a Blood Fiend; otherwise, it would have been truly troublesome today.

Yan Yue rushed over. After seeing the Corpse Fiend turned to ashes, she also breathed a sigh of relief: "Chen Yu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's fortunate he didn't form into a Blood Fiend, otherwise, he would have been truly hard to deal with." Chen Yu glanced at Feng Yuanlong: "Weren't you told to guard here?"

"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" Feng Yuanlong said angrily.

Slap... Chen Yu swung a slap across, and half of Feng Yuanlong's face instantly swelled up red.

"You surnamed Chen, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am?" Feng Yuanlong was furious.

"Who are you?" Chen Yu swung another slap across. Slap—Feng Yuanlong retreated with a mouthful of blood.

"The Corpse Fiend touched the funeral home today. If he had been allowed to absorb enough yin energy, he would have become a Blood Fiend. Do you know what a Blood Fiend is? By then, even if your master came out in person, he might not be able to subdue it. Do you think that because you are a member of the Esoteric Sect and know a little bit of Mysterious Gate Arts, you are very remarkable?"

"Let me tell you, if you had ruined the big event today, your master would be the first to kill you to sacrifice to the flag," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Chen Yu, I am truly sorry. After we go back, I will report this truthfully, and my master will definitely punish him," Yan Yue said hurriedly: "The Corpse Fiend is eliminated, but the person who refined the corpse hasn't been found yet. We should go find that person now."

"You don't need to trouble yourselves with this; I'll go myself." Chen Yu glanced at Feng Yuanlong: "I don't know where you get your confidence from. A single Corpse Fiend could scare you into wetting your pants. How do you have the face to call yourself a member of the Esoteric Sect's world?"

"You..." Feng Yuanlong was furious.

"Senior Brother Feng, if you dare say one more word of nonsense, I will administer punishment on behalf of the master. When we came out, Master gave instructions. If you dare not listen to me, I can punish you on his behalf. Don't think I won't leave you any face then." Yan Yue's face sank.

Feng Yuanlong backed down. He kept his mouth tightly shut, but the look he gave Chen Yu was full of venom.

"Chen Yu, let me bring some people and go with you," Ren Zhenghao ran over.

"No need, this is my personal grudge," Chen Yu shook his head and turned to leave.

In the suburbs, in a villa.

Fengyang Jushi had a ferocious look on his face: "My Blood Fiend was almost complete. Damn it, truly damn it."

"Who is the person who destroyed the Corpse Fiend?" Du Feng asked.

"Chen Yu. I underestimated this kid. It seems I can only ask my master to come out," Fengyang Jushi said hatefully: "My master is a Dharma Cultivator, only one step away from the Primordial Qi Realm. With him coming out, he will definitely be able to kill Chen Yu."

"Such an expert, I'm afraid he's hard to invite," Du Feng's expression was somewhat strange.

"He is a bit hard to invite, and he generally doesn't interfere in these matters, but I will try my best," Fengyang Jushi said.

"Are you his only disciple?" Du Feng asked again.

"That's right, I am his only disciple," Fengyang Jushi said sinisterly: "It's just that he is currently overseas and hasn't returned. I will ask him to come immediately."

"No need." Du Feng walked close to Fengyang Jushi's side. Suddenly, he extended his right hand, and a dagger pierced Fengyang Jushi through the heart.
