Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Death of Two

The Yin Soul comparable to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, strictly speaking, its Ghost Body can be compared to a Body Refining Fourth Layer cultivator.

Even during the day, though it would be weakened, it would still be within the realm of a Body Refining Fourth Layer.

This is also why even after the top ten techniques certified by the Night Patrol Department over a hundred years—the Wind Patrol Sword Technique and Hundred Gold Hammer—combined, they couldn’t repel it. Though they couldn’t defeat it, they could hold it off.

After all, it’s daytime.

But the ghost creature in front of them, even in the day, could easily shatter the Wind Patrol Sword Technique and a top-quality Tier One Lower-grade Protective Talisman with one strike.

”Damn it!”

Li Ye’s face grew increasingly grim, and he hurriedly took out a palm-sized golden bell artifact and threw it directly.

As soon as the golden bell flew out, it suddenly expanded to over a man’s height, then crashed towards the oncoming Black Corpse.

This bell is called the Earth Gold Bell.

It is a life-saving treasure given to him by his master.

Though it’s only a Tier One Lower-grade Spiritual Artifact, its defensive power is extremely strong and has restraining effects against ghost creatures.

Two years ago, he used it to kill a Yin Soul comparable to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, but he didn’t hope the Earth Gold Bell could kill the ghost creature in front of him; he only hoped to trap it for a moment to gain a chance to escape.

As for Mu Ye.

He could only let things take their course.

Dong!

The bell vibrated.

The sound spread hundreds of feet.

Just at the moment when the Black Corpse was covered by the bell, a huge vibration rang out again, followed by a cracking sound.

”Sure enough, it can’t be harmed!” Realizing the immense strength of the ghost creature again, Li Ye understood why even Elder Gong Chi sought it.

Clearing his thoughts, Li Ye immediately prepared to retreat.

Seeing this, Mu Ye quickly shouted.

”Brother Li!”

”Brother Li! Help me!”

However, in a moment of distraction, a large chunk of flesh was torn from Mu Ye’s chest by the Half-Faced Yin Soul, causing him to howl in pain, unable to call for help.

Li Ye seemed as if he hadn’t heard, crushed the Divine Movement Talisman, and turned to quickly flee. But just then, a giant bloody Ghost Hand appeared out of thin air, grasping at him fiercely. With no room to evade at such close range, he had no chance.

The Blood Ghost Hand of Blood Robe Tower!

Upon seeing this Ghost Hand, Li Ye’s face changed dramatically.

However.

By the time he realized it, he was already caught by the Blood Ghost Hand, unable to move the Flying Sword Artifact no matter how he chanted spells, and instead felt the Ghost Hand squeezing tighter, suffocation following thereafter.

”Die.”

A voice suddenly appeared.

Upon hearing this voice, Li Ye’s pupils instantly constricted, his eyes full of astonishment.

It’s Wen Jiu!

It’s Wen Jiu’s voice!

But how could it be Wen Jiu? The blood of this Blood Ghost Hand is so ample, it’s at least cultivated to the third layer, requiring more blood and time than just a day or two. Yet Wen Jiu had just entered Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

Crack!

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, Li Ye’s curiosity was abruptly cut off, the blood flowing from his seven orifices as his tendons and bones were shattered by the grasp of the Blood Ghost Hand.

In the next moment.

With a loud bang.

The Black Corpse also smashed the Earth Gold Bell to pieces, pouncing toward Li Ye, but upon seeing Li Ye dead, it again had to stop urgently.

Seemingly unwilling.

Seemingly angry.

Clearly, it also very much wanted to kill Li Ye.

Sensing the Black Corpse’s emotion, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but be startled, as such things had not happened before. Could it be due to the Three Evils Corpse Nurturing Technique?

”There is still one more person.” Wen Jiu couldn’t bother thinking more and immediately reminded the Black Corpse, although Mu Ye was cornered by the Half-Faced Yin Soul, if he didn’t die, Wen Jiu would still be sleepless.

The Black Corpse immediately roared in anger, looking towards Mu Ye.

Witnessing this scene, Mu Ye’s shock was even greater than seeing Wen Jiu’s Blood Ghost Hand.

The ghost creature was actually listening to Wen Jiu!

Could it be that Wen Jiu was not searching for the Yin Soul, but lying in wait for him and Li Ye?

The reason the Half-Faced Yin Soul appeared during the day, was it Wen Jiu’s doing?

Doubt arose.

Mu Ye couldn’t remain calm any longer.

In the next moment.

Mu Ye’s survival instinct exploded.

He must escape.

Otherwise, even if he didn’t die at the hands of the ghost creature, he would die at Wen Jiu’s hands.

Boom!

The hammer-shaped artifact in his hand flew out first, exploding open.

Then a second and a third followed.

Boom!

Boom!

Three artifacts self-destructed simultaneously, not only forcing the Half-Faced Yin Soul back but also forcing Wen Jiu to hide behind the Black Corpse.

”He’s willing to sacrifice anything to stay alive.” The self-destruction of an artifact would definitely exceed the full-force strike of a Qi Cultivation Third Layer, but the cost would be over a hundred Spirit Stones.

Mu Ye’s artifacts must not be of ordinary quality.

So it will be even more expensive.

Three simultaneous explosions.

At least four hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones!

A Loose Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, even after saving for two or three decades, would only have this much.

However, Mu Ye was already at the end of his tether.

Given the speed of the Black Corpse, it’s simply impossible for him to escape; self-destructing a Magical Artifact is just a final desperate struggle.

The next moment.

The Black Corpse leaped forward, swiftly chasing after Mu Ye, who was flying low, controlling a Non-Rank Spiritual Artifact.

The half-faced ghost creature also let out a low roar, angrily pursuing.

One ghost.

One corpse.

Perfectly coordinated.

The half-faced Ghost Cultivator didn’t even realize that the ghost beside it was actually its mortal enemy—a zombie.

Wen Jiu remained in place, absorbing Li Ye’s corpse into the Corpse Nurturing Coffin, preparing to refine it later so that the Night Patrol Department could find no trace.

”I didn’t expect the Corpse Nurturing Coffin to have the function to obliterate traces.”

Without leaving behind a corpse, the Night Patrol Department cannot use soul searching to uncover the truth.

After absorbing Li Ye’s corpse into the Corpse Nurturing Coffin, Wen Jiu did not immediately retrieve the coffin because the half-faced ghost creature was not yet dealt with.

Comparable to a Yin Soul at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, it’s a significant supplement for the Black Corpse, which cannot be found in the Corpse Remains Death Land. The Yin Techniques previously stored within the Corpse Eye were all released, so he could only rely on the Corpse Nurturing Coffin.

Soon.

Wen Jiu caught up with the Black Corpse.

To Wen Jiu’s surprise, the Black Corpse was already fighting the half-faced Yin Soul, as they were both competing for Mu Ye’s corpse.

The half-faced Yin Soul was pulling at Mu Ye’s lower half with ghostly energy, while the Black Corpse was tightly gripping Mu Ye’s neck.

There was a sound of tearing, Mu Ye was brutally torn into two parts, blood, internal organs, and intestines spilled on the ground. Mu Ye couldn’t even let out a scream before dying completely, his death exceptionally tragic as his soul was directly extracted by the half-faced ghost creature and swallowed in one gulp.

But Wen Jiu couldn’t afford to pay attention to this because the time for the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment was about to end, and once it ends, the Black Corpse would leak corpse energy.

Once the corpse energy leaks.

He would be exposed.

”Bind it!”

Wen Jiu immediately spoke, activating the Corpse Nurturing Coffin with a Yin Technique, attempting to directly absorb the half-faced Yin Soul into the coffin.

The Black Corpse understood, charged straight at the half-faced Yin Soul, firmly clamping it while its four fangs bit viciously onto the ghost body, starting to devour ghost energy voraciously.

Immediately after.

Wen Jiu opened the coffin.

The Corpse Nurturing Coffin instantly created a strong suction, pulling at the half-faced Yin Soul, attempting to draw it inside.

However.

The resistance from the half-faced Yin Soul was far more terrifying than Wen Jiu had expected, with ghost energy continuously raging and pouring out, then abruptly exploding into a tide of ghost energy, astonishingly shaking off the Triple Blood Transformation Body Black Corpse.

Wen Jiu was inwardly shocked.

Previously, it didn’t exert its full strength!

When the Black Corpse tried to charge again, it was already too late because the half-faced Yin Soul was rushing towards Wen Jiu.

Ghost energy and murderous intent surged forth.

Wen Jiu quickly used the Corpse Nurturing Coffin to shield himself, then heard a loud booming sound as a terrifying force followed right behind.

Despite holding the Corpse Nurturing Coffin, Wen Jiu staggered back over ten steps, crashing into a tree trunk before stopping.

The next moment.

The half-faced Yin Soul suddenly fled far away, and uttered human speech.

”Yinzhou... Corpse Nourishing... I will remember this!”

After coldly spitting out this sentence, the half-faced Yin Soul abruptly cast a ghost technique, disappearing instantly into the dense forest.

Wen Jiu wanted to pursue, but with Three Rivers Ghost Concealment nearing its end, he was left with no choice but to quickly let the Black Corpse enter the Corpse Nurturing Coffin.

”Such a pity!”

Wen Jiu looked in the direction the Yin Soul disappeared, sighed softly.

Truly worthy of a Yin Soul Ghost as formidable as one at Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, even knowing how to preserve hidden cards, luckily it was daytime.

If it were night.

He might have been the one running away.

After withdrawing his gaze, Wen Jiu looked at Mu Ye’s corpse.

The storage bag hung around his waist, but Wen Jiu did not search the corpse because Yin Soul Ghosts do not search corpses after killing.

Though unfortunate.

But he had no choice.

Carefully scanning around with Divine Sense, making sure there were no oversights, Wen Jiu crushed a Divine Movement Talisman and swiftly departed.

But all along the way.

Wen Jiu couldn’t stop thinking about the words the Yin Soul left when it departed.

”What exactly is going on with that half-faced ghost creature, that it suddenly saw through the true form hidden by the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment of the Black Corpse.”
