Chapter 625: A son in the Prince

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a dense crowd of experts had surrounded the lakeside outside the Listening Tide Pavilion.

They all stared together at the head floating on the surface of the lake.

The person beneath the lake, seeing so many experts, was not only unafraid but instead began to laugh with a shrill voice.

"Hehehe... truly lively!"

On the lake surface, that head suddenly began to move in a bizarre fashion, and following that, endless black mist emanated from within its body, shrouding the entire lake.

"This is? Corpse poison!"

Sensing the thick corpse Qi permeating the air, the Old Kui at the bottom of the lake suddenly tightened his expression.

Within the lake, the endless black Qi gathered more and more.

A black-robed monster gradually revealed its form.

The monster was pitch black all over, its body shriveled, as if it were a dried corpse.

Only, upon its chest, there were many white bones arranged in a dense, packed manner.

The monster's eyes were scarlet as blood, and its entire body was filled with towering corpse Qi, as if it were a Corpse Fiend.

"Roar~~~"

The monster let out a beast-like roar from its throat, and a chilling, sinister intent filled the surroundings, causing the air nearby to freeze, and even the lake water began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You are a Corpse Fiend?" The Old Kui at the bottom of the lake stared in horror at the monster in the lake, his eyes filled with shock.

He truly found it hard to believe that the thing before him was actually a living Corpse Fiend, and judging by its appearance, it was no weakling among Corpse Fiends.

A Corpse Fiend!

How could these two fellows appear here?

The Old Kui at the bottom of the lake was filled with doubt; he did not recognize these two fellows. Logically speaking, a powerhouse of his level should have long been famous throughout the world, yet the monster before him was completely unfamiliar.

What was even more terrifying was that these two fellows had actually snuck into the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, and he had not known at all!

"Hehehe!"

One of the retainers kept by the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion stared at the dried corpse on the lake surface and let out two strange laughs, then gritted his teeth and leaped out of the Listening Tide Pavilion.

His name was Wang Hu.

He wielded a horse-chopping saber that was a full zhang long.

In the Wu Lin, he was known as the Mountain-Opening Saber.

"Boom!"

As Wang Hu leaped out, the lake surface trembled violently, and endless corpse Qi erupted. A sinister and terrifying low roar resounded through the clouds. Beneath the lake, countless corpses shattered one after another, turning into pus and blood that merged into the lake bottom, only to be swallowed into the lake water by a massive suction force.

In just a few short breaths, the lake surface, which had previously been rippling with green waves, instantly turned into a pool of extremely filthy mud.

On the lake surface, that head slowly rose and hovered in mid-air. That shriveled, ugly head locked its scarlet eyes onto Wang Hu.

Wang Hu took a deep breath, bent his legs, and kicked off the ground violently. His entire person turned into a stream of light as he lunged toward that hideous head. His arm swung, and the horse-chopping saber, like a meteor, slashed toward the shriveled monster's throat.

The shriveled monster grinned, revealing ghastly white teeth, and met the blow with its palm.

"Bang~~~"

Wang Hu felt a pain in his wrist, and the horse-chopping saber in his hand nearly fell. He staggered back several steps before steadying himself, looking at his wrist, which was dripping with blood.

"Such fast speed!"

Wang Hu's expression changed slightly; this fellow's strength was actually comparable to the Finger Profound Realm of the First Grade, Second Stage.

"Awoo~~~"

On the lake surface, the monster roared, its figure soaring into the sky once more, lunging toward Wang Hu.

"Seeking death!"

Wang Hu was furious, swinging his horse-chopping saber, intending to clash head-on with the monster.

At the critical moment, Qi Dangguo appeared, holding a long halberd.

With a single strike of the halberd, he pierced directly toward the monster.

With just that one strike, the Corpse Fiend, which had appeared so terrifying, was severely wounded.

The monster let out a miserable howl, its body instantly disintegrating, leaving behind only a wisp of faint green smoke before disappearing, and even those corpses vanished without a trace. ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
