Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Chapter 28 In Desperate Situation
“So now, even if an ordinary person returns the Soul-Catching Bell, it will be useless. The Zhuyou Sect cannot pass the imperial court’s test of refining corpses from living people, not to mention the sect that participated in the destruction of the corpse-refining lineage.”

Han Yu groaned and looked at the two of them.

"So after they take back the Soul-Catching Bell and transfer the bodies, they will definitely kill the laymen as well." My cousin said solemnly.

At this time, the layman suddenly said, "Bao Ruijie has gone to get reinforcements! Let's go now! Hurry and get your Iron Kite out."

The cousin rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "My Iron Kite will scatter if I hit it. There are a group of cultivators outside. They will be scattered in the sky soon. The pharmacist won't die, but we will definitely fall to our deaths. We might as well fight our way out."

"I can't do anything to the corpse king outside, so I have to fight..."

The common man stopped talking abruptly, then looked at Han Yu with a slight movement of his eyes, muttering, "It seems like I can fight the Corpse King!"

At the foot of a long slope thirty miles outside Shuzhou City.

Pianshigang.

This is just an ordinary small village in Shuzhou Prefecture. It has a small population, crisscrossing paths and fields, and farmers are sometimes working in the fields.

Outside a small melon field, in a small shed, Ran Shiqing, nearly fifty years old, with white hair and beard and wrinkles on his face, looks no different from any other farmer. He lies sideways in the shed with his hat covering half of his face.

Bao Ruijie entered the village with an uneasy heart.

"Ran Shiqing? I haven't heard of this person."

A young man shook his head at Bao Ruijie who was asking for directions.

Bao Ruijie thought about it and changed the question, "It's an old man who moved in not long ago."

The young man suddenly realized and laughed, "Are you talking about the old man who grows melons? He is in the east of the village. He should still be sleeping in the shed in the melon field right now!"

After saying goodbye to the young man, Bao Ruijie hurriedly walked eastward.

After a while, they found the shed, but Bao Ruijie felt a little uneasy and hesitated to move forward.

After standing there for a long time, his face was uncertain, and finally he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, bowed and called out respectfully, "Elder Ran!"

The old man seemed not to hear, so Bao Ruijie repeated the call a few more times.

At this time, the bamboo hat was taken away, and the old man sat up straight. His cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up and he looked at the visitor in a captivating way.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that I would be in the dark and leave as soon as I was done? Don't come here if you have nothing else to do?"

Ran Shiqing's face was filled with anger, which frightened Bao Ruijie so much that he staggered and almost fell to his knees.

"Tell me, what's going on."

Ran Shiqing looked at Bao Ruijie who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked with a frown in his mind.

Bao Ruijie said in a low voice with a look of panic on his face, "The soul-catching bell used to refine the new corpse was stolen."

Hearing this, Ran Shiqing stood up suddenly, his murderous aura bursting out, and he said with murderous eyes, "Say it again."

Bao Ruijie did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story of how he refined the corpse until it was discovered and how the soul-catching bell was stolen afterwards.

Ran Shiqing's face was as gloomy as water. If it wasn't difficult to fight here, if it happened in the sect, Bao Ruijie would probably be hit in the face.

"You're useless. You can't even handle a small thing."

After Ran Shiqing cursed loudly, he gritted his teeth and said, "You will be punished when you go back!"

"That……"

Bao Ruijie looked up timidly and asked for instructions.

"I'll go with you and take care of that little loach first."

Ran Shiqing waved his hand and was about to walk out.

After walking a few steps, he stopped abruptly.

"Wait for me at the entrance of the village."

Bao Ruijie didn't dare to ask more questions, he just nodded and left.

After the people walked away, Ran Shiqing suddenly coughed a few times, bowed and called out, "Your Excellency!"

A disembodied voice came from nowhere, and the person's whereabouts could not be seen. The tone was quite cold, "The people from Hidden Moon Peak have been exposed, right?"

Just one sentence and Ran Shiqing broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, it is."

But he didn't dare to lie and could only reply hesitantly.

The owner of the voice was silent for a long time, and finally ordered coldly, "Let's not use Shuzhou Prefecture for the time being. Go over there and deal with the ends as soon as possible. If necessary, abandon the corpse puppets. Now that Bao Ruijie has been exposed, don't keep him."

Ran Shiqing bowed repeatedly and nodded, cold sweat dripping down his back.

"Since we don't need the Shuzhou Prefecture line, you don't have to stay here. Let's deal with things more cleanly."

After the voice finished speaking, there was no movement for a long time. Ran Shiqing kept bending over and waiting for a moment. After making sure that there was no one around, he straightened up slightly and slowly exhaled.

It was already nighttime. After discussion, the three decided that Han Yu, who had the strongest physical body, would be responsible for holding back the Corpse King, while the other two would be responsible for the remaining group of monks.

If the plan goes well and the monk is dealt with, the remaining corpse king can be fought by the three of them together.

After finalizing the details, the three of them began to sneak towards the valley entrance.

Soon they saw a group of monks standing at the exit, looking around. The layman pointed at the tallest and most motionless figure among them and said, "That's the Corpse King. You'll have to deal with him later."

Han Yu nodded in understanding.

After everyone was ready, Han Yu took a sprint, his steps getting faster and faster, instantly attracting the attention of the group of monks at the entrance of the valley.

"Who is it? Stop!"

A group of monks quickly drew their swords and were on guard. Han Yu smiled slightly, then leaped up with great speed, and the three or two monks in front were the first to be knocked away.

My cousin and the layman looked at each other and nodded, then he quickly rushed up and joined the battle with Han Yu. A few blind monks relied on their Divine Bridge cultivation to fly into the air and attack from a distance with flying swords, but after Han Yu threw several balls of fire at their faces, they fell down one by one, wailing.

The Corpse King seemed to have smelled the breath of a mortal and moved instantly. Han Yu had been on guard against it. As soon as the Corpse King moved, he immediately dodged and punched it, followed by a ball of flame that also hit its face.

"Why doesn't it work?"

Han Yu was shocked at first when he saw the corpse king was unharmed.

The fire that even Shura was afraid of at the beginning did not have any effect on the Corpse King. Moreover, the Corpse King's body was indeed as ordinary people said, extremely hard.

"Idiot, Shuras and Hungry Ghosts are both products of the underworld, so they are naturally afraid of Yang Fire. The Corpse King is artificially refined. You can imagine that someone refined it like a weapon, so naturally there will be no flaws."

Xiao Liuli's voice came in my mind.

Han Yu felt a chill in his heart. It was so cruel to refine people like objects.

The Corpse King seemed to be angered by Han Yu. He no longer chose the mortal man, but instead rushed towards Han Yu.

Well done!
Han Yu threw a punch straight at the corpse king, and the collision of the two fists produced a huge wave.

Then the man and the corpse each took a few steps back.

“It’s very powerful too.”

Han Yu commented with a frown, he had a strong body and was quite powerful.

There was no problem on his side. Seeing that the corpse king's arms were constantly shaking, it seemed that Han Yu was victorious in the physical body, but the corpse king was victorious in that he did not feel any pain and could risk his life.

It’s still tricky!
After thinking about it, Han Yu couldn't help but communicate with his sea of ​​consciousness and was about to release the hungry ghosts.

"No, the hungry ghosts don't distinguish between friend and foe. Your two unlucky friends will also be attacked by the hungry ghosts."

Xiao Liuli reminded in her mind.

Han Yu quickly relaxed his sea of ​​consciousness and could only helplessly step forward again to fight the Corpse King with fists and blood.

On the other side, the laymen moved nimbly left and right in the battle group, and a monk would fall to the ground every two or three moves.

My cousin connected three iron-boned flying swords together and threw them out like a windmill. The flying swords then kept spinning and hovered over the heads of many monks. From time to time, a monk would be caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the windmill.

Those who were luckier would only have their wrists cut, while those who were less lucky would have their necks cut and would basically die on the spot.

Only on Han Yu's side the battlefield was in a stalemate. The Corpse King had no sense of pain at all. Even after his chest was hit and dented several times, he remained indifferent. It recovered again after a short while, and then rushed forward again, howling.

"It seems we can only wait for the two of them to come and help."

Han Yu sighed and said to himself.

However, things in this world often cannot keep up with the changes in plans.

At this moment, a violent roar came from the air.

"You deserve to die!"

As soon as the words were spoken, two figures fell down one after the other.

Ran Shiqing watched the Corpse King being beaten by Han Yu, with his chest dented from time to time, and his eyes suddenly turned red with anger. The sect had spent decades of effort and huge cost to refine this creature, and now it had been beaten into this state.

After Bao Ruijie landed, he first spotted the layman who was moving among the disciples. Seeing his enemy, he was extremely jealous and could not help but gnashing his teeth and yelling, "It's you, the thief."

"You guys take care of these two little guys."

After Ran Shiqing turned his head and gave an order, he stared at Han Yu.

At that moment, his true energy surged and the person disappeared instantly. Han Yu had just blocked the attack of the Corpse King when a strong wind blew from the left side. Before he could react, he was knocked away heavily.

Damn it, this is another scene of high-level monks bullying young monks.

After Han Yu fell to the ground, his shoulders felt numb and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Half-step to see the gods!"

The common man dodged Bao Ruijie's attack and looked over here and exclaimed.

"Your body is pretty good. It seems to be comparable to the Corpse King. No, it's even better than the Corpse King, hehe!"

Ran Shiqing's original murderous intent was suddenly suppressed. It turned out that there was someone with such a strong body. If he could capture him alive and bring him back to refine him into a corpse, he could give the sect another corpse king.

"Han Yu, he is greedy for your body." Xiao Liuli reminded in her mind.

Han Yu's face darkened. Regardless of whether he was greedy or not, the fact that he was targeted by this group of people probably meant that they wanted to refine corpses.

"Just stay and be a corpse king to protect our sect!"

Ran Shiqing gave a sinister smile and came closer.

Han Yu felt a chill in his heart and kept backing away.

On the other side, after Bao Ruijie failed to deal with the common people several times, he turned his attention to his cousin. He secretly used his true energy to control the two knives on the ground and then shot out.

puff!puff!
My cousin, who was dealing with the remaining disciples, was completely unaware of this. By the time he reacted, two knives were already stuck in his chest.

"asshole!"

The layman was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He shook off a few disciples and rushed forward.

Bao Ruijie had already had a plan in mind, so he flew into the air at this moment, and was the first to arrive at the layman. He waved his hand from behind the layman, and a short knife shot out from his sleeve like thunder.

puff!
The dagger pierced into the layman's left leg, splashing blood.

"Aren't you a very good runner? Then I'll break your legs first."

After the layman landed, Bao Ruijie walked over with a sneer on his face.

　I hope you will support my new book!
