Chapter 332: The Yin Corpse Appears

The figure landed; he was stiff all over, wearing a burial shroud. It was the Yin Corpse, none other than Deng Yuan's grandfather.

"Grandfather, this has nothing to do with me, please let me go. It was my father who wanted to do this; he said that since you were already dead, you might as well do something more for our Deng Family. The Three Corpse Blessing Dharma was his idea."

Deng Yuan was so terrified her face turned deathly pale; she fell to her knees with a thud and began to tremble.

The Yin Corpse was expressionless; no sorrow or joy could be seen on his face, which was as wrinkled as tree bark. Suddenly, he took a step forward, gliding ten zhang in an instant. His hands, as hard as steel pipes, reached out, intent on taking Deng Yuan's life.

Deng Yuan screamed in terror, clutching her head tightly as she sprawled on the ground.

Whoosh—the Yin Corpse reached her, but the Taiji diagram beside her lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky, repelling the Yin Corpse.

Green smoke rose from the Yin Corpse's hands. He seemed not to have expected a master to be here. He let out a hiss, turned his body, and looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu gripped the Lichen Sword in his hand, staring fixedly at the Yin Corpse.

Suddenly, the Yin Corpse leaped up and charged fiercely at Chen Yu. He reached out with both hands, clawing at Chen Yu's throat.

This fellow was dead but not stiff, and his strength was surprisingly great. Chen Yu swung the Lichen Sword; with several chi-chi sounds, several streaks of Sword Qi blossomed upon the corpse's body.

Yet the Yin Corpse's body was now impervious to blades and spears. Even though the Lichen Sword was incomparably sharp and known as the Seven Brilliance Weapon Spirit, it could hardly damage his skin. After several rounds, the Yin Corpse was actually unscathed.

"Chen Yu, are you even capable or not? Hurry up and kill him, hurry!" Deng Yuan, inside the circle, trembled in fear as she watched the battle before her with a pounding heart.

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Chen Yu was furious. Everything was caused by this ruthless woman; if not for her, none of this would have happened today.

Was her own father plus five human lives not enough?

As they spoke, the Yin Corpse lunged forward with a whoosh. Having fought Chen Yu for so long, he had lost his patience. With a whoosh, a mouthful of white vapor surged from his mouth.

This white vapor was corpse Qi; everything in the vicinity, whether flowers, trees, or any living creature, withered upon contact.

Once the corpse Qi emerged, the leaves of several large trees nearby slowly turned yellow and withered. The vitality in the trees vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye. A moment later, only a dry, main trunk remained of the large tree.

"So powerful." Chen Yu was startled. Before he could react, the Yin Corpse moved forward again, lunging fiercely at him while blowing a mouthful of corpse Qi toward him.

Chen Yu dodged to the side, and the white vapor blew toward Deng Yuan without reservation.

Deng Yuan screamed. She had just seen how powerful this corpse Qi was; a vibrant, living tree withered upon contact. If she were really hit by it, what hope of survival would she have?

She screamed and, ignoring Chen Yu's warning, stood up and scrambled to escape to the side.

But the Taiji diagram around her was the Extreme Ridge Array set up by Chen Yu, which no Demon could cross. The moment she stepped out of the Taiji circle, she immediately attracted the Yin Corpse's attention.

The Yin Corpse suddenly turned, glided several zhang, and attacked Deng Yuan fiercely.

Deng Yuan screamed and turned her body to the side, then felt a sharp, intense pain in her left shoulder. She shrieked as she fell to the ground, then looked at her left arm in disbelief.

Her left arm had been pierced and broken by the Yin Corpse's palm; the entire arm vaporized, and then a visible black mist spread from her arm throughout her entire body.

"I told you not to come out; are you trying to die?" Chen Yu was shocked. He quickly stepped forward, forced the Yin Corpse back with a sword strike, then clamped two Talisman Papers and pressed them onto her body.

A beam of light flashed, the Talisman Papers vanished into her body, and the black mist spreading upward also disappeared.

Whoosh—the Yin Corpse lunged again. Chen Yu was enraged; he swung the Lichen Sword with his right hand, slashing the Yin Corpse and forcing him back a few steps.

He formed a hand seal with his right hand, and several Talisman Papers quickly gathered, converging on the Yin Corpse. Immediately after, with a boom, flames ignited.

The Yin Corpse hissed; this kind of Talisman fire caused him great damage. Although it could not defeat him, his body was burned until his skin was torn and flesh mangled.

Chen Yu's move successfully enraged the Yin Corpse. He turned his head abruptly, his eyes blood-red, and then lunged at Chen Yu with a whoosh.

Chen Yu retracted the Lichen Sword and quickly ducked into the small Bamboo Forest to the side.

The furious Yin Corpse chased him directly. The moment he stepped into the Bamboo Forest, a huge Taiji diagram lit up beneath his feet.

The crimson Taiji diagram rotated slowly. The Demon-Exterminating Great Array, prepared here long ago, activated instantly. Countless profound golden symbols slowly floated upward, and invisible chanting sounds echoed between heaven and earth, like the hymns of gods and Buddhas.

In mid-air, thick clouds gathered, slowly forming a vortex above the Great Array.

Within the vortex, lightning flickered. Immediately after, a white lightning snake formed in mid-air and struck down with a boom.

The Yin Corpse looked up at the sky and hissed. Then, the white lightning pressed down, and a light wave suddenly formed, rippling out in all directions.

With a boom, the Bamboo Forest was destroyed; within a radius of several dozen zhang, not a blade of grass remained.

Chen Yu was also blown away several dozen meters by the aftershock of the Great Array. He scrambled up; the Yin-Yang diagram on the ground still held a lingering glow, but everything inside the array had vanished along with the heavenly thunder.

Chen Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His strength was insufficient, and forcibly erecting such a Great Array consumed a massive amount of energy; he had nearly suffered a backlash from the Array Base just now.

But fortunately, the Yin Corpse had been eliminated; he had finally removed a major thorn in his side.

Looking back, he saw Deng Yuan struggling to stand up and running to the side; she wanted to escape.

But one of her arms had been struck off by the Yin Corpse's palm, and she had lost too much blood. Coupled with the fear and anxiety of the entire night, she had already exhausted all her strength. As soon as she took a step, she fell to the ground with a thud.

Yet her desire to survive was extremely strong; even after falling, she struggled to crawl forward.

"Give up, you can't run away." Chen Yu put away the Lichen Sword and looked at this woman with some pity.

"Give up? Chen Yu, do you know how long I have been planning for today? Do you know how much effort I have put in for today?" Deng Yuan raised her head, staring fixedly at Chen Yu with eyes full of hatred.

"I was about to succeed, but why did you have to come out and ruin it? One step, just one step away and I could have obtained the Deng Family. Why?" Deng Yuan screamed hoarsely.

"If it isn't yours, forcing it is useless, really." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Deng Yuan, there are many ways to obtain the Deng Clan, but you chose this cruel method."

"To obtain the Deng Family, you were going to kill all your own relatives. Just how cruel are you?"

"Chen Yu, you are nothing but someone struggling at the very bottom of society. Even if your strength is super strong, and even if you have heaven-defying Medicine skills, it cannot change that fact." Deng Yuan's tears fell like rain.
