After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 880 The vengeful Corpse Badger, Annihilated!

"Susususu..."

In the dense forest, a dark figure moved swiftly through the shadows of the trees.

According to radar, it was more than 200 meters away from them and looked like a furry lump. They didn't know what it was, but there was obvious residual Yin energy in the places where it passed.

The shadowy figure moved incredibly fast, traversing the rugged forest as if it were flat ground. Even when Chen Yang used his Flying Swallow Technique to leap onto the branches and directly dart between the treetops, he couldn't keep up with its speed.

The 200-meter distance is still widening.

Xu Qingchuan was in front; his lightness skill was also quite good, but he wasn't much faster than Chen Yang.

Under the moonlight, the two leaped and chased each other from treetop to treetop. The trees ahead swayed constantly, clearly indicating that something was fleeing at high speed.

A dozen minutes later, we arrived at Tiger Leaping Cliff at the top of the mountain.

The dark figure quickly climbed up and pressed down.

"Roar!"

A roar, like a lion's bellow, shook the night sky and made the shadows of the trees sway.

When Chen Yang and Xu Qingchuan caught up to the top of the cliff, the thing had already run to the other side of the cliff.

"Shh!"

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Chen Yang drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"boom!"

The arrow rubbed against the air, creating a streak of sparks, like a rocket, shooting towards the dark figure with tremendous force.

Xu Qingchuan was startled.

Are young people these days really this energetic?
You didn't even see what it was before you shot it?
The shadowy figure clearly sensed the danger beforehand, and immediately leaped off the cliff.

The arrow missed.

When the two chased after him, it was already pitch black below the cliff. Chen Yang deployed the radar and could only see the shadows of trees swaying, but he could no longer find the dark figure.

"What is it?" Chen Yang asked.

Xu Qingchuan was running ahead, so he probably had a clearer view.

Xu Qingchuan scanned the surrounding mountains and forests with his mental energy, but found nothing.

"That's it!"

His expression, however, was quite serious.

"Who?" Chen Yang asked.

Xu Qingchuan said, "When I came back a while ago, I passed by Wuguniang Mountain and encountered a corpse beast. I thought about killing it to prevent it from causing trouble, but this thing was strong and fast, and very troublesome. I chased it all the way from Wuguniang Mountain to the vicinity of Jinjia Mountain in Ya City, but I lost it. I searched all over but couldn't find it, so I had to give up..."

"Corpse beast?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised. What was this thing?
Xu Qingchuan said, "After human cultivators die, they can use some secret techniques to refine their physical bodies and forcibly retain their consciousness, thus obtaining a different kind of immortality. Similarly, some powerful wild beasts, who feed on corpses and rotten matter year after year and consume yin and evil poisons, eventually mutate their physical bodies. Under certain special conditions, they can be resurrected and become corpse beasts. These creatures are violent, cruel, bloodthirsty, and have fierce combat power..."

Chen Yang nodded.

Xu Qingchuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Dao True Realm Corpse Badger. This wretched creature is probably holding a grudge and secretly followed me here..."

A corpse badger?

Chen Yang looked at the darkness below the cliff, his brows furrowing slightly.

When he heard Xu Qingchuan mention Jinjiashan, those three words seemed to trigger a key phrase in his mind.

Wuguniang Mountain is not far from Jinjia Mountain, and this beast was lost by Xu Qingchuan on Jinjia Mountain.

Could it have escaped from that ancient cultivator's cave in Jinjia Mountain?

Chen Yang had previously heard the eight-winged centipede mention that the seal on that cave had been broken, meaning something had probably escaped.

Xu Qingchuan said, "This thing is very fast; catching it will be quite difficult..."

"Senior, how long have you been back?" Chen Yang asked.

Xu Qingchuan said, "It's been about ten days."

Ten days or so!
Chen Yang did the math and realized that they probably really did come from Jinjia Mountain.

"On June 20th, two people were attacked at the location of Dog Climbing Rock. They were both at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, one dead and one injured. Could this thing be the culprit?" Chen Yang asked.

Xu Qingchuan nodded. "That's probably it. Corpse beasts are bloodthirsty, but they don't care for the blood of ordinary people. The spiritual blood of cultivators is what they love most. If it's a cultivator at the Spirit Realm, it's normal for them to attack..."

Chen Yang's expression was serious; this thing was very dangerous.

Although it looks down on the blood of ordinary people, it doesn't mean it won't attack them. This beast has already made its way into the bitter bamboo forest. If it were to run into the village, what would become of it?

"Corpse beasts are generally not very intelligent, and when they go berserk, they rely almost entirely on instinct. Keeping them around is just a menace. Xiao Yang, you're no match for them. Go down the mountain first, and I'll search it thoroughly while I search the mountain..."

"Senior, you can't outrun it, how are you going to find it?"

"That beast is very vengeful. It followed me here from Jinjia Mountain, it must be looking for revenge. Even if I don't go looking for it, it might not be able to resist jumping out and attacking me..."

"Then I'll help you look for it."

"Although this corpse beast is only at the Creation Realm, when it goes berserk, it's not something a Creation Realm expert can handle..."

"Don't worry, senior, I'm not weak either."

Chen Yang gave a wry smile.

He couldn't possibly tell Xu Qingchuan that he had even killed a beast in the late stage of the Dao Realm, could he?

Xu Qingchuan had no choice but to assume that Chen Yang was just a young calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Without saying anything more, he stood directly on the edge of the cliff, released his primordial spirit, and used the power of his primordial spirit to survey the surrounding area.

Suddenly, the primordial spirit energy spread in all directions, instantly enveloping several miles around Tiger Leap Cliff, searching back and forth.

For Chen Yang, things were simpler.

He went directly to Shan Yuyin to ask the camellia tree for help.

Qishan is quite large, and it's difficult to investigate using either spiritual power or primordial spirit. If that thing escapes beyond the boundaries of Qishan, then all our efforts will be wasted.

The camellia tree can communicate with all the plants on Qishan Mountain that have developed spiritual awareness. These plants are like its eyes and ears everywhere. Wherever these plants are, any slight disturbance can be reported in time.

This is much easier than directly expending your spiritual energy to search.

Xu Qingchuan searched for a while but couldn't find a single hair.

"Let's go back first; that beast probably won't come out."

Because he had Chen Yang as a burden, he dared not venture deep into the mountains to search. After all, Chen Yang was the descendant of an old friend, and he would feel uneasy if anything happened to him while he was in charge.

In his eyes, Chen Yang was just a Creation Realm cultivator. Although it was a bit exaggerated that he was such a young Creation Realm cultivator, the Creation Realm was still just the Creation Realm. No matter how capable you were, you would only be destroyed when you encountered a creature like the Corpse Badger.

Xu Qingchuan had fought this corpse badger several times and knew its strength very well. Although he could suppress the beast, it always managed to escape easily.

When this beast goes berserk, even he has to be wary, let alone a young man like Chen Yang, who was probably raised in a pampered environment and definitely lacks combat experience...

Xu Qingchuan immediately wanted to take Chen Yang down the mountain.

After all, the badger was coming for him. As long as he left, the beast would definitely follow him. He could then figure out a way to deal with it himself, so as not to implicate others.

At this moment, Chen Yang, who was communicating with the camellia tree with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"We've found it! It's running towards Tulonggou!"

Chen Yang said something and then turned and ran into the deep mountains.

Xu Qingchuan was somewhat taken aback.

Even using my own spiritual power, I couldn't find it. How did he find it?

But seeing Chen Yang run far away, he was afraid that Chen Yang would suffer a loss, so he suppressed his doubts and quickly chased after him.

……

Tulonggou.

After entering the deep mountains, about a mile from Laoguilin, there is a stream flowing downwards. The stream flows downwards and merges into a horizontal ditch at the bottom of the gully before flowing out of the mountains.

This is Tulonggou. Chen Yang had been here a few times before when he hunted the wild boar king. The gully was overgrown with weeds and filled with a thick, damp miasma.

What Chen Yang remembers most vividly is that there was a leech forest here, full of leeches that were very voracious bloodsuckers.

It was already late at night, and there wasn't a single insect chirping or bird singing in the entire gully. Anyone could sense that the atmosphere was very abnormal.

It was an extreme sense of oppression, so oppressive that the air itself seemed to freeze.

There hadn't been a drop of rain for days, and the ditch was almost dry, but the woods remained damp and there wasn't a breath of wind.

It gives people a feeling that is both dull and gloomy.

The last time I came here was more than half a year ago. At that time, I didn't think there was anything special about this place. But now that I have a higher level of understanding, when I come here again, I see that this ditch is clearly a terrain that gathers evil spirits.

The miasma lingers here, unable to dissipate for a long time, eventually forming a yin energy. Under the Heavenly Eye, especially in the area of ​​the leech forest, is the center of the vortex, where a considerable amount of yin energy gathers.

No wonder, both the Wild Boar King and Ye Mingtang, who was later resurrected after being possessed by the Three Corpse Worms, liked to come here.

It turns out this place is a blessed land for these creatures.

According to the information from the camellia tree, the badger ran into this ditch, most likely into the leech forest.

"Senior, I'll go in and take a look. You stay outside the woods and keep watch so it doesn't get away..." Chen Yang said in a low voice outside the woods.

"you?"

Xu Qingchuan paused for a moment, "You're no match for that thing. I'll go in. You stay away..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang's figure vanished into the darkness.

"Neither you nor I are as fast as it. If you go in, it'll probably still run away. I'll do it..."

Chen Yang's voice came from the darkness.

This young man is quite adept at hiding himself.

Xu Qingchuan was somewhat surprised. They were standing face to face, only three or five meters apart. If he hadn't heard the voice, he would have had a hard time telling where Chen Yang was standing.

"You just need to disturb it and drive it out. Once this thing goes berserk, its combat power skyrockets. You can't control it, so don't be reckless," Xu Qingchuan said.

Xu Qingchuan could go in, but going in would inevitably disturb the corpse badger, and it would probably be too frightened to even get close before it ran away.

Chen Yang's ability to hide is quite remarkable; it's possible for him to get close without being detected.

"it is good."

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Qingchuan felt the grass in front of him rustle, indicating that Chen Yang had already entered the woods.

... —

In the woods.

The air was terribly damp and cold, and the grass was so tall it almost reached Chen Yang's waist. There was a constant rustling sound from the surrounding leaves and grass.

He didn't even need to look to know what kind of sound it was.

Leech.

There were so many leeches in this forest. As Chen Yang walked along, insects fell from above like rain.

These brightly colored, bloodsucking things are really testing one's psychological endurance.

He immediately opened the insect bag and collected all the leeches he had passed by.

These were all insects below grade D, offering very little experience reward. However, Chen Yang wasn't doing this for the reward; his main concern was preventing these insects from falling on him.

Although he is now physically strong, and these insects might not be able to bite through his skin, it's still disgusting.

For most people, these brightly colored, wriggling creatures are nothing short of a nightmare.

……

Chen Yang had been here several times and was quite familiar with the place.

He didn't use his mental power or primordial spirit, for fear of disturbing that being. Chen Yang only used the radar to probe, and the situation in the forest was clear to him.

They quickly located the corpse badger.

In the place where he once fought Ye Mingtang, deep in the forest beside a large tree, a large rock was stuck in the mud. The beast was lying on the rock, inhaling and exhaling the Yin energy released from the mud.

How uncomfortable!

Chen Yang had collected countless leeches along the way.

The Moon Shadow Technique doesn't allow him to make any big movements, otherwise there's a risk of being exposed.

On the rocks in the mud, a monster the size of half an ox, covered in long, black fur, lay quietly.

Its head is flat, and its head and face are covered with white fur, which contrasts sharply with its pure black body, making it look very eerie and really like a ghost.

Its claws had long, black nails that gleamed eerily in the moonlight.

Judging by its appearance, it looks a bit like the honey badger that Chen Yang saw in the animal documentary.

This thing is just bigger and looks more ferocious.

Using the Moon Shadow Technique for cover, Chen Yang directly approached a spot about twenty meters away from it.

The ferocious beast on the rock seemed to sense something.

It raised its head and looked in the direction of Chen Yang. In the faint moonlight filtering through the forest, it could only see the grass swaying.

Thinking it was just a gust of wind, he didn't pay any attention and immediately lay down again.

Chen Yang carefully moved his feet and found a convenient spot.

……

"Ding! S-rank Yin Sha [Corpse Badger] detected. Encyclopedia entry unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Questioning Pill] *2. Items have been placed in the system warehouse and can be retrieved at any time."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Mission: Hunt the S-rank Yin Sha [Corpse Badger], progress (0/1)."

Reward: Sword Offering Stone *2

……

A system prompt appears.

Although it's only S-rank, the rewards are SS-rank, which shows that this beast is indeed quite capable.

Since it's a sneak attack, they definitely have to unleash their ultimate move right from the start.

Falling Sword Technique!
Just as Chen Yang activated his sword technique, the badger, which had been resting on the rock, suddenly stood up.

"Roar!"

It looked around warily, instinctively sensing danger. Suddenly, it noticed Chen Yang's presence, bared its teeth, and let out an angry roar.

But at that very moment, an immense pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on it.

A massive sword intent rapidly condensed and took shape in the air.

The sword pressed down, locking onto the corpse badger below. The corpse badger's legs trembled, its whole body shook, and it could barely stand.

"Roar!"

Its eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and its furious roar shook people to their core. The leaves in the forest trembled violently, and leeches fell from the trees like raindrops.

"fall!"

The giant sword suddenly fell.

"boom!"

It instantly struck the corpse badger in the mud.

The sword energy surged and swept across all directions, turning everything around into chaos. The powerful impact forced Chen Yang to retreat twenty or thirty meters.

Mud flew everywhere in the swamp, and an unbearable stench filled the air.

The huge rock in the pool was split in two.

"Roar!"

A furious roar rang out, as loud as a thunderclap.

Despite being hit hard, the beast was still alive. It leaped out of the mud, roaring angrily, searching for Chen Yang's location.

Its body was covered with hideous wounds, clearly indicating that it had been seriously injured by the sneak attack just now.

That beast is quite strong; it's still alive.

In its berserk state, it is clearly unaware of pain; pain only makes it angrier.

Chen Yang had encountered many similar Yin Sha creatures, such as wandering masters and corpse demons. Once they went berserk, fighting against opponents of higher levels was commonplace for them.

Chen Yang stopped hiding and seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. He activated his golden body, wielding a sword in one hand and a hammer in the other, and charged towards the corpse badger.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Badger was initially stunned, but after going berserk, it immediately entered its ultimate combat state, locked onto Chen Yang's location, and charged straight at him.

"Shh!"

Like a raging tiger, its claws tear through the air, creating two claw-like shadows.

"Oh!"

Chen Yang swung the hammer at him.

With a loud bang, the hammer and claws collided.

Chen Yang felt a violent jolt in his arm as a tremendous force struck him, sending him flying backward.

He casually swung his sword out.

It hit the badger in the abdomen.

"Roar!"

The corpse badger let out a roar, and was also forced back by the immense force of Chen Yang's hammer.

Chen Yang was greatly surprised.

After this beast went berserk, even in its severely injured state, its strength did not decrease but increased, and it was even slightly stronger than me.

You should know that in his current golden body state, plus the Five Dragon Pills he just ate, one strike of his hammer is already more than the power of ten dragons.

"Roar!"

The pain drove the corpse badger into a frenzy, and it lunged at Chen Yang again.

Chen Yang swung his hammer and fought it fiercely, occasionally striking it with his sword.

"What a beast!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but secretly admire the power of the corpse beast at the Creation Realm.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, the badger lashed out with its claw, forcing Chen Yang back more than ten meters. Without saying a word, it turned and ran.

"Where to run!"

Just then, a loud shout came from not far away.

It turned out that Xu Qingchuan had noticed the commotion and run in.

Seeing Chen Yang's ferocity and now having a formidable foe, it would be strange if this beast didn't run away.

The badger ran straight to the side, but it wasn't far from Xu Qingchuan.

Do you think you can get away this time?
Xu Qingchuan shook a hemp rope in his hand, and it shot out suddenly.

It instantly wrapped around the badger's hind legs.

He just yanked it off!
"Roar!"

The badger stumbled as it was pulled, and just as it was about to struggle, it sensed an immense danger approaching.

But then Chen Yang took a few steps forward and leaped into the air.

Refa!

Thunderous energy flowed into his right palm, and his entire right arm was enveloped in arcs of light.

"Oh!"

He struck the badger on the forehead with a palm strike.

With a loud bang, the corpse badger was sent flying.

"Zizi..."

Enveloped in arc light, his body convulsed, and he fell silent shortly afterward.
