Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Solo Battle Against the Ghost Cultivator

He had already reached the second layer of Qi Cultivation.

Leaving other things aside, just in terms of cultivation, Wen needed to become an apprentice disciple to obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Yinzhou Corpse Nourishing Technique. He also understood that since he had decided to perform, he might as well perform well.

This opportunity.

Was once in a lifetime.

The Corpse Remains Death Land extended for ten miles, and after nightfall, the Yin energy was extremely strong, making it impossible for Divine Sense to fully expand within. Beyond it was the Hundred Li Dense Forest, and once someone got in there, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

If it weren’t for the three people’s greed for the Black Corpse, such an opportunity would not be encountered, and even if it was, it couldn’t be resolved.

”Brother Wang, they’ve spread out.”

After making up his mind, Wen spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Before Wang Nian could stop, Steward Liu impatiently inquired, ”Can you still sense the positions of the three?”

As he asked this, he had already taken out several Vaginal Charms.

These were far superior to the ones Wang Nian used earlier to disperse the Yin energy.

”They separated in that mountain stream three breaths ago.” Wen quickly pointed at the mountain stream shrouded in heavy Yin energy.

As soon as he spoke.

Steward Liu controlled his sword and flew over, throwing down one Vaginal Charm after another where the three separated.

Boom——

Boom——

The activated Vaginal Charms.

Instantly dispersed the Yin energy within several hundred feet around.

”You’ve killed over a dozen of my Night Patrol Department disciples, and you want to run?” Steward Liu continued to throw down Vaginal Charms as if they cost nothing, the murder intent in his eyes growing more intense, terrifying Wang Nian beside him.

After throwing down over a dozen Vaginal Charms, the figures of two people were finally exposed in front of everyone.

Seeing the two dressed in the Night Patrol Department’s attire, Steward Liu’s anger flared even more, and he directly controlled his sword to attack the two.

The remaining Night Patrol Department disciples hurried to follow.

Wang Nian wanted to act but was stopped by Wen, ”Brother Wang, we’ll chase the other person; I can sense her location.”

”Let’s go!”

Wang Nian was delighted.

After glancing back at the Night Patrol Department’s people, Wang Nian again said, ”Wen, are you sure it’s just her alone?”

”Mm-hmm.”

Wen nodded.

Pointing to the other side of the Corpse Remains Death Land.

Wang Nian immediately controlled his sword and pursued, taking out Vaginal Charms from his hand with a quality similar to those Steward Liu had just taken out, and he took out four or five at once, a departure from his usual thriftiness.

Before Wen could say anything, Wang Nian hurriedly said, ”Wen, this is your opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Originally, entering the second layer of Qi Cultivation, becoming an apprentice or disciple was more than sufficient for you... But the trouble lies in the fact that your cultivation is heterodox. Although not many stewards dislike heterodox techniques, there are ultimately some, so you need proof that you haven’t sacrificed longevity, foundations, or potential at the cost of a forced advancement in your realm.”

Wang Nian added, ”This lone spy is the best proof! But the other party is a disciple of the Night Patrol Department, and their magical techniques and other means are likely abundant, while you must face them alone; if I help you, it won’t count... So how you choose, it’s up to you.”

Wang Nian looked serious, eager to help Wen become an apprentice, a disciple of Deadman Peak.

But the rules were such.

He couldn’t do anything about it, so it was all up to Wen himself.

Looking at Wang Nian, who was serious but thinking of him, Wen felt a warmth inside, then immediately responded, ”Brother Wang, leave her to me.”

Wang Nian nodded, patting Wen’s shoulder heavily, and said in a firm voice, ”Good! Then I’ll use a Memory Charm on the side to help record your performance... Don’t worry, if the other party brings out cards you can’t handle, I will certainly assist immediately.”

”Thank you, Brother Wang.”

Wen cupped his fists in gratitude.

When he looked back, his eyes were already locked on the Ghost Cultivator darting around in the mist of Yin energy, then he leaped down.

Wang Nian didn’t waste words, directly throwing out five top-tier Tier One Lower Grade Vaginal Charms, valued at a total of thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones.

But if they could assist Wen.

These spirit stones were well spent!

Boom——

Accompanied by the sound, five Vaginal Charms instantly dispersed the Yin energy within several hundred feet.

The Female Cultivator’s complexion drastically changed, hastily holding a Ghost Head to resist, and upon discovering they were just Vaginal Charms, she heaved a sigh of relief.

And then she saw only Wen clad in cloth jumping down alone.

Realizing the Steward at the third layer of Qi Cultivation was merely watching mid-air, the Female Cultivator instantly understood what was going on.

”Daring to use me as a stepping stone!” As she said this, the Female Cultivator threw the Ghost Head towards Wen, which instantly turned into an eight-foot ghost rushing relentlessly, its aura rising steadily.

Steadily suppressing Wen.

Seeing this, Wang Nian’s expression changed.

An elite Yin Soul comparable to the peak of the second layer of Qi Cultivation!

Just as Wang Nian hesitated to act, a sudden explosion was heard, the Black Corpse behind the Female Cultivator suddenly erupted with surging blood energy and corpse energy, shattering the Corpse-Suppression Talisman. Before the Female Cultivator could react, the Black Corpse’s sharp fingers lunged.

The Female Cultivator was horrified, ”How is it possible, that Corpse-Suppression Talisman was enough to subdue an Upper Realm Black Corpse, how can it not...”

The Female Cultivator’s voice abruptly ceased.

Because the Black Corpse was already lunging, she hurriedly summoned a Black Mirror Spiritual Artifact and spat a mouthful of dense blood essence onto it. As it turned scarlet, she aimed it at the Black Corpse.

In the blink of an eye.

Blood-colored ghost energy surged forth.

Engulfing the Black Corpse.

The Yin Soul Ghosts originally charging towards Wen also turned to assault the Black Corpse, whose corpse body, without retreating, radiated a blood glow.

”No wonder it’s a Night Patrol Department disciple, they even have a Ghost Artifact!” Seeing the Ghost Artifact, Wen not only didn’t have the Black Corpse retreat but urged it to keep advancing.

Meanwhile.

Wen also raised a hand to cast a Yin Technique, which entered the Black Corpse, helping its corpse energy reach its peak.

Watching this, Wang Nian’s heart pounded.

Is this still second-layer Qi Cultivation combat?

It feels even if he went up, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

And that Black Corpse.

He remembered Wen had only recently nurtured it.

Now it’s strong enough to contend with Ghost Artifacts and Yin Soul Ghosts—this kid’s heterodox talent is truly monstrous!

Truly worthy of being the person he had his eyes on!

But now was not the time to be happy.

Wang Nian also took out a Magical Artifact, prepared to assist at any time, after all, Wen had only entered the second layer of Qi Cultivation that very night.

Perhaps very strong.

But definitely limited.

The next moment.

The black zombie lunged at the Yin Soul Ghosts, actually biting into its body, swallowing it bite by bite, no matter how the Yin Soul Ghosts roared and attacked the black zombie, it remained motionless.

Like a mountain.

As for the surging bloody ghost aura, the black zombie swallowed it all, refusing nothing, making the face of the female cultivator change dramatically.

She initially wanted to retreat.

But discovered that once bitten by the black zombie, she couldn’t retreat.

Even her ghost artifact couldn’t be retrieved.

”How strong was this black zombie when it was alive!”

In the female cultivator’s understanding, the stronger a corpse was before death, the stronger the zombie after being refined.

This Middle Realm black zombie before her could suppress her ghost artifact and ghost, could it be refined by a late-stage Qi Cultivation death cultivator?

”No, this can’t continue!” Seeing she couldn’t retrieve at all, the female cultivator decisively abandoned the ghost artifact and ghost in her hand.

She took out a few talismans to throw.

To fight for one last chance to escape.

However.

Wen Jiu continuously sent Yin Techniques over.

The female cultivator hurriedly released ghost aura, threw talismans to block, but after several times, she felt increasingly wrong.

Where the Yin Technique splashed.

The Yin Technique was spreading!

It was corroding the ghost aura!

The Yin Technique on her arm even invades her flesh, like Gu Insects spreading rapidly.

And faster and faster.

When she wanted to use ghost techniques, she found that as soon as she tried to mobilize ghost aura, it was directly corroded and devoured by the Yin Technique.

”You’re not from Deadman Peak!” The female cultivator screamed, throwing out all the talismans she had accumulated over the years.

Panic-stricken, she fled.

However.

Not long after she ran, she suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

No longer alive.

Watching this scene, Wang Nian’s heart was turbulent with joy, as if he was the one who killed the female cultivator.

”Wen, well done!”

Just entered Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

And killed the Night Patrol Department’s Qi Cultivation Second Layer traitor.

What kind of achievement is this?

How many formal disciples can achieve this?

However, when Wang Nian landed and looked closely at the female cultivator’s corpse, he was startled by the tragic state corroded by the Yin Technique.

When he looked at Wen Jiu, he couldn’t help but swallow dryly.

Luckily, this guy is from Deadman Peak.

And not an enemy.

...

Soon.

A large number of Night Patrol Department disciples arrived.

As for the other two Night Patrol Department traitors, one was killed by Steward Liu with a sword, and the other had both legs chopped off and was thrown into the Night Patrol Department’s dungeon.

When the Night Patrol Department arrived at Wen Jiu’s location and saw the female cultivator’s brutally dead state, their faces changed dramatically.

This was worse than being chopped off at the legs.

When they learned from Wang Nian’s mouth that it was killed by Wen Jiu alone, every Night Patrol Department disciple was shocked.

And when they looked at Wen Jiu, their gaze was no longer as before.

And just when Wen Jiu was preparing to pack up and leave, the appearance of one person attracted everyone’s attention.

”Steward Mu!”

”Steward Mu!”

It was the Night Patrol Department’s steward seen that day.

Moreover.

There was Steward Li Ye and other stewards present.

When Li Ye saw Wen Jiu already stepping into Qi Cultivation Second Layer, and the black zombie behind him with an aura stronger than Wen Jiu.

He was surprised.

How is it possible?

How long has it been?

Wen Jiu surprisingly entered Qi Cultivation Second Layer with the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique and cultivated a black zombie stronger than himself.

How is it possible?

Even with heterodox talent, it shouldn’t be this strong, right?

His spirit root is clearly a poorly one.

While he was still astonished, Steward Mu of the Night Patrol Department took a closer look at the female corpse and the black zombie before speaking.

”Not bad, very good. Two months entering Qi Cultivation Second Layer with the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique, showing impressive heterodox talent... Despite the poor spirit root, the talent for corpse nurturing is nice. Now that you’ve single-handedly killed our Night Patrol Department’s traitor, would you be willing to join Mu Canglong’s ranks?”

Once these words were spoken.

Many Night Patrol Department disciples’ faces froze.

Wang Nian was the same.

But the most astonished were Li Ye and other stewards of the Night Patrol Department.
