Chapter 465
"Ah, Bad Guy lied to me, it hurts so much!"
As the liquid entered their mouths, it instantly felt like they had been struck by lightning. Lin Yueru, who had the lowest cultivation, felt as if ten thousand ants were biting her body and couldn't bear the pain, so she bit down on Lin Fan’s arm.
As for Zhao Zhao Linger and Xin Shisanniang, their faces were also struggling, and their bodies were trembling; clearly, the taste of the Thunder Tribulation Liquid was not pleasant.
"Were they bitten by zombies? It looks like the corpse poison is acting up. Quick, kill them!"
The villagers of Baihe Village were attracted by Lin Yueru’s loud shout.
When they looked over, they saw Zhao Zhao Linger and Xin Shisanniang struggling, and Lin Yueru biting Lin Fan’s arm. Thinking the three women had been bitten by zombies and the poison was now erupting, causing them to turn into zombies, they immediately surrounded them with hoes and sickles, wanting to kill them.
"Kneel!"
Lin Fan frowned at the villagers surrounding them. Then, as if his words carried the mandate of heaven, with just a light shout, all the villagers involuntarily knelt down.
"What happened?"
At this moment, an old man dressed as a physician walked over with a beautiful girl. Seeing the villagers kneeling before Lin Fan, he couldn't help but ask.
"Physician Han, we don't know where these four came from. Those three women seem to have been bitten by zombies, and now the poison is erupting. We wanted to kill them, but that man shouted 'kneel' at us, and we involuntarily knelt down!"
The villagers kneeling on the ground explained in a jumble.
Lin Fan looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise, because he discovered that these two were not disguised as Moon-Worshipping Cultists. Could it be that Moon-Worshipper didn't intend to use the same trick in front of him?
"Young Master, let’s talk this over. I see these three young ladies don't look like they have been poisoned by zombies; it must be a misunderstanding. Why don't you show mercy and let the villagers go?"
Physician Han walked closer to Lin Fan and the others, noticing that although Zhao Zhao Linger and the others looked pained, there was faint lightning flickering on their bodies. He realized they hadn't been bitten by zombies but were being electrocuted by lightning. Knowing it was a misunderstanding, he quickly tried to mediate.
"Wait!"
Lin Fan didn't let the villagers get up. Ignorance is also a crime; letting them kneel for a while was already a small punishment.
"Bad Guy, the electricity made my bones go numb!"
After a while, Lin Yueru came to her senses. Her cultivation had risen from the peak of Spirit Gathering to the late Nascent Soul stage, an improvement of nearly a whole major realm.
"This Thunder Tribulation Liquid is truly powerful, like having heavenly lightning strike one’s body. I’ve used the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art to strike others, but I’ve never been struck by lightning myself!"
Zhao Zhao Linger also sighed softly; this feeling was incredibly intense, but her realm had also improved from the early Nascent Soul stage to the early Void Return stage.
"Thank you for your grace, Young Master. Fourteen is eternally grateful!"
Xin Shisanniang gained the most, not only because her cultivation rose from the late Void Return stage to the mid Undying stage, but because after being baptized by the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, she was completely reborn. The demon aura hidden in her body was completely dispersed. She was no longer a demon fox, but an immortal fox. The difference between a demon beast and an immortal beast is self-evident.
"Hmm, you all have improved; you didn't waste my heavenly treasures!"
The three women had gained a lot, and Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
"Young Master, you forgot Nie Xiaoqian!"
At this moment, Nie Nie Xiaoqian, who was in Lin Fan’s arms, said with some resentment.
"If you, a little ghost, drank the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, you would be reduced to ashes!"
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. Nie Nie Xiaoqian was truly bold; a ghost actually dared to drink Thunder Tribulation Liquid.
"Young Master, look at this..."
Seeing Zhao Zhao Linger and the others recover, Physician Han asked tentatively again.
"Brother Lin Fan, what are they doing?"
Zhao Zhao Linger and the others finally noticed the large group of villagers kneeling around them.
"Hmph, get up!"
Lin Fan didn't make things difficult for the villagers anymore and let them get up.
"Thank you, Young Master. I don't know what brings you to our Baihe Village? Nowadays, there are zombies haunting the vicinity of Baihe Village, so the villagers are a bit jittery and making a fuss. I hope you will forgive us. If you are going out, you must be careful of the zombies!"
Physician Han first thanked Lin Fan and then explained to him.
"The zombies appeared because of the Skeleton General in the nearby General’s Tomb. Once we kill it and the Red Ghost King behind it, the zombie problem will naturally be solved!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he directly controlled his sword and took the three women to leave for the General’s Tomb.
"Thank you, Immortal!"
The villagers of Baihe Village knelt down again, but this time it wasn't because of Lin Fan’s pressure, but out of heartfelt awe and admiration. They had misunderstood the immortal, yet the immortal was still running around to solve their troubles; he was truly magnanimous.
"Bad Guy, is there any more Thunder Tribulation Liquid? Give me another drop!"
On the flying sword, Lin Yueru had actually become addicted to the Thunder Tribulation Liquid and wanted more.
"I have some, but it has no effect, only pain. Do you want to eat it?"
"Am I stupid? If it only has pain, why would I eat it? Isn't it just to improve my strength?"
Lin Yueru shook her head repeatedly. If eating it had no effect, then forget it. Who would look for trouble for no reason?
"We’re here. You three go up; I want to see if you’ve made any progress!"
"Go up then!"
Lin Yueru split the tomb door of the General’s Tomb with one sword strike and charged in first. Zhao Zhao Linger and Xin Shisanniang looked at each other and immediately followed.
"Such an impatient temperament; they really haven't been beaten by society yet!"
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and then walked into the tomb with a leisurely pace.
By the time Lin Fan reached the depths of the tomb, the three women were already fighting the Skeleton General.
This Skeleton General was an outlier; not only was it immensely strong, but its speed was as swift as the wind. Perhaps it was because its flesh and blood were still on its body.
However, the combination of Zhao Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, and Xin Shisanniang was much stronger than the combination of Li Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru in the original story. The Skeleton General was beaten back repeatedly and was soon surrounded and killed by the three women.
The Skeleton General was dead, and the passage to the Red Ghost King’s blood cave was opened. The four of them walked into the Red Ghost King’s blood cave as leisurely as if they were sightseeing.
"Everyone be careful, the Red Ghost King is in the blood pool, and its power is much higher than the Skeleton General’s!"
Zhao Zhao Linger couldn't help but remind them, though her reminder was mainly for Lin Yueru.
"Is this the Red Ghost King? Watch me kill it!"
Lin Yueru didn't care about that; she drew her sword and charged directly, only to be whipped back by a long whip made of blood. If Lin Fan hadn't caught her, she probably would have fallen quite hard.
"Impulsive! You didn't even see the strength of the enemy before charging in!"
Lin Fan put Lin Yueru down and casually gave her a flick on the forehead.
"Hmph, isn't that why I have you, you Bad Guy? Watch my Seven-Formula Sword Qi!"
Lin Yueru was not convinced after being whipped away by the Red Ghost King and charged again, unleashing her Seven-Formula Sword Qi.
However, the sword qi entered the blood pool like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace, not even causing a ripple. Moreover, the Red Ghost King’s two blood whips lashed out at Lin Yueru again.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhao Linger immediately drew her Green Cord Sword to help, but unfortunately, the usually invincible Green Cord Sword couldn't do anything against the blood. As the saying goes, softness can overcome hardness, let alone water!
Xin Shisanniang also wanted to help, but her magic power couldn't hurt the Red Ghost King at all when it hit the blood pool. Although they were both in the Undying Realm, she really couldn't do anything about the Red Ghost King.
The key was that the Red Ghost King was too shameless, hiding in the blood pool. The three women couldn't do anything to it, but it could cause damage to them.
If it weren't for the fact that they were underground, Zhao Zhao Linger would have wanted to use the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art.
"Their methods are still a bit lacking. Yueru’s Seven-Formula Sword Qi is of no use, Zhao Linger only knows one Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art, which is too limited, and Xin Shisanniang, this wild fox demon, only knows a few small spells. She has the Undying Realm but can do nothing against the Red Ghost King of the same realm."
Lin Fan watched from the side as the three women were chased and beaten by the Red Ghost King, analyzing the situation seriously.
"Bad Guy, stop talking nonsense and kill it for me!"
Lin Yueru was dodging left and right, in a sorry state, and quickly shouted loudly.
"Say 'Husband, please save me'!"
"What are you doing? I won't say it!"
"Say 'Husband, please save me'!"
"Go to hell! If you don't make a move, I’ll fight this Red Ghost King to the death. If I die, you’ll have one less wife. Are you going to make a move or not?"
Lin Yueru stubbornly refused to ask for help and instead threatened Lin Fan with her own life.
