Chapter 90: Corpse, Health Bar

Someone on the sea surface?

Li Jing and Lu Yangcheng looked at each other, instinctively standing up.

As the two of them gazed towards the turbulent nearby sea, Yi Xiuzhu had already used Sky Control to approach a spot on the distant sea surface that was slightly reflective, scooping up a figure and heading towards the shore.

Lu Yangcheng’s face subtly changed as he saw this scene from afar.

"It seems like a person who fell into the water!"

"Let’s go and check it out."

Li Jing said, then rose into the air using Sky Control.

His Vanishing Skill was fully powered.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the seashore.

At the same time, Yi Xiuzhu arrived on the shore with the person he had scooped out of the sea.

Before Yi Xiuzhu could land and steady himself, Li Jing spoke.

"Put the person down."

The somewhat urgent words caused Yi Xiuzhu to hesitate.

Without much thought, he laid the person flat on the ground, saying.

"This person is already dead."

Even before his words ended, Lu Yangcheng arrived, having used Sky Control.

After seeing the person on the ground clearly, Lu Yangcheng’s eye twitched.

"The uniform on this person...".

"Disaster Management Bureau."

Li Jing’s eyebrows were furrowed.

He had only barely seen the uniform of the person Yi Xiuzhu brought ashore.

Looking at him now.

This person is undoubtedly dead.

The person lying on the ground had no signs of life, the skin was white and swollen from being soaked in seawater, and it was impossible to tell what he looked like when he was alive.

However, above his head, Li Jing saw a full health bar with a value as high as 4124.

It was precisely because he had seen the health bar from afar that he hurried to the shore to meet Yi Xiuzhu.

This was no joking matter.

Yi Xiuzhu, in his eagerness to save the person, had scooped up someone with a health bar from the sea. If anything happened, it could be dangerous.

But the worst didn’t happen.

However, the situation was indeed beyond expectation.

A member of the Disaster Management Bureau, who had clearly been soaked in the sea for a long time after death, had a full health bar above his head. It was obvious that something was wrong!

Li Jing looked serious.

A full health bar definitely does not belong to a dead person.

Even if it’s a human-shaped demon, once it’s dead, it’s dead.

There’s something else inside the body!

Quickly assessing the situation, Li Jing looked at Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu.

"Both of you back off and alert the patrol."

?

Lu Yangcheng looked up in confusion.

Yi Xiuzhu was slightly taken aback by his words, his expression then turned serious, and he pulled Lu Yangcheng away.

"Let’s go!"

Then, without further ado, he pulled the latter up into the sky using Sky Control.

Lu Yangcheng, being brought into the sky, responded in surprise and doubt.

"The King..."

"He must have found something, trust him."

Yi Xiuzhu said, and flew towards the rooftop of the seaside house where they had rested earlier.

Seeing Yi Xiuzhu unhesitatingly take Lu Yangcheng away, Li Jing felt somewhat touched.

Trust, which exists between the three members of the Heavenly King Group.

What’s admirable is the decisiveness and no-nonsense attitude Yi Xiuzhu has.

After watching the two leave, Li Jing turned his gaze back to the body on the ground.

The corpse did not move.

The thing hidden inside it didn’t show any abnormality after Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu left.

A monster? Probably not.

Monsters do not linger after their host’s life force dissipates.

After weighing the situation, Li Jing took out his phone, took a picture for evidence, and then placed it in the storage space.

He always took great care of his phone.

And he only had one, if it broke, he wouldn’t have another.

Looking down at the body, Li Jing murmured,

"Sorry for the disrespect."

While speaking, he flicked his finger and,

"Zi!"

A thin arc of electricity jumped out.

At the same time, the body lying on the ground suddenly opened its pale eyes and slid across the ground without rising.

Li Jing had anticipated this sudden change.

He had released the electric arc to test whether the thing hidden inside the body would react or not.

There indeed was a reaction.

However, he never expected that the corpse would open its eyes directly, evading just like a living person!

"Snap!"

The arc of electricity fell into empty space.

Li Jing looked up in surprise.

What caught his eyes was the corpse, which had slipped away and hovered not far away, its pale eyes quietly watching him.

Their eyes met, and Li Jing’s eyes squinted in suspicion.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, it was clear that whatever was hiding inside the corpse had the ability to directly control the host.

"Clang!"

With a ring of a sword, Qingfeng Sword was unsheathed, hovering beside Li Jing.

Seeing Qingfeng, the entity controlling the corpse clearly felt threatened.

With a screeching roar, the corpse conjured a flying sword out of thin air.

Li Jing was taken aback at the sight.

This flying sword didn’t belong to the entity controlling the corpse, but to the deceased.

So...

What the hell is this thing?

Not only can it control the corpse, but it can also use the deceased’s flying sword?

What alarmed Li Jing even more...

When the corpse roared just now, he vaguely saw something hiding in its throat.

The screeching noise was made by that thing, not the corpse itself.

This all too familiar scene quickly made Li Jing think of two words.

Parasite!

Suppressing the various thoughts brought up by the word "parasite", Li Jing looked stern. As the Qingfeng Sword spun around, it turned into a sword light and shot out.

Under the command of the Heavenly Sword Jue at the Great Perfection level, the Qingfeng Sword’s blade was sharp and speed was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the blade’s light was right in front of the corpse, targeting its neck.

Seeing that there was an unknown entity hiding in the corpse’s throat, Li Jing naturally targeted its main body.

The parasite controlling the corpse reacted extremely quickly, meeting the sword light with a retaliatory slash.

"Ding!"

The light of the Qingfeng Sword was repelled.

Meanwhile, a fragment of the flying sword in the corpse’s hand was sent flying.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing immediately made a determination.

The quality of the flying sword in the corpse’s hand was slightly lower, far inferior to the Qingfeng Sword.

Additionally, the parasite controlling the corpse was so skilled it could even control the flying sword.

With these two discoveries, Li Jing did not hesitate to continue attacking it with the Qingfeng Sword while making seals with his hand.

In addition to being able to control the corpse and utilize its flying sword, the parasite hiding in the corpse’s throat must have other abilities.

Even the weakest member of the Disaster Management Bureau would be at the Three Realm level.

Killing a Three Realm entity wouldn’t be easy.

The parasite’s health bar, with a high value of 4124, indicated that its strength was equivalent to the late stage of the Three Realm.

As for what abilities the parasite has, Li Jing had no interest in finding out.

What he did know was that it was extremely dangerous.

Using the most violent means to obliterate it was undoubtedly the correct course of action!

As he formed the seals with his hand, electric arcs continuously emerged around Li Jing, and a force as mighty as a mountain fell from the sky.

The parasite controlling the corpse had sensed the abnormality the moment it occurred.

After repelling the light from Qingfeng Sword, it raised its head to look at the increasingly darkening sky, then turned its gaze back to Li Jing and roared harshly once again.

Just as the roar sounded, the spirit robe inside Li Jing’s body surfaced on its own.

A large amount of spiritual power gathered around his ears, forming a solid defense, blocking an elusive and obscure force.

A sound attack!?

Is it like Qu Lianghong’s, deceptive in nature?

It shouldn’t be.

The spirit robe surfaced completely, indicating that it was on full defense.

A simple deceptive trick wouldn’t go so far.

Li Jing’s facial expression did not change as he judged the situation. The seals in his hand accelerated their transformation.

Seeing its roar didn’t work and Li Jing’s body was surrounded by a dense and frightening spirit robe, the parasite controlling the corpse turned and attempted to flee over the sea without hesitation.

"Puff!"

As the parasite tried to escape without using the flying sword to counter, the Qingfeng decapitated its arm that was wielding the flying sword at the very moment it turned around.

It’s clear that the parasite wants to escape, but would Li Jing let it get away?

The Flying Sword Blue Edge, which had just decapitated its arm, shot out again instantly, catching up with the corpse controlled by the parasite and targeting its neck.

Caught up in an instant and having its main body targeted, the parasite had no choice but to turn back and throw a punch.

Pitting its flesh against the Precious Items flying sword, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

"Puff!"

The Qingfeng swiftly and decisively cut off the only remaining arm of the corpse.

At this moment, Li Jing formed the last seal with his hand.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder exploded in the sky.

A streak of incomparably well-trained thunder tore through the night sky, becoming the only thing in the world!

Nine Heavens God Thunder!
