I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Chapter 69 He's Here

"I feel like something is following us in the dark!"

On the cold, potholed street, Zhao Fei felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but look back again and again, but he still couldn't see any ghostly figures.

However, the intuition that he was being watched kept throbbing in his nerves.

Looking at Su Wuchen and his companion, they didn't seem to be being watched at all.

"Don't you feel anything?"

"There should be, right?"

Wang Chen smiled. "But even if we sensed it, so what? Neither of us are seventh-rank martial artists who can determine the other's location through spiritual sense. Why bother with that?"

Su Wuchen's heart skipped a beat: "So, Shangguan Yun sensed the other party's presence just now?"

Wang Chen: "Otherwise, why would he dump such a critical matter on me?"

The three of them fell silent.

Zhao Fei muttered, "This guy is so unreliable. He's a seventh-grade martial artist, after all. He dumped the trouble on us, and now he's not coming along?"

Wang Chen: "Although the news was released to the public that he was injured in a fight with a master from the Myriad Things Pavilion, in reality, he was really injured."

"what?"

"Moreover, the Gu worms cultivated by Gu can sense things that are in no way weaker than those of a seventh-grade martial artist."

"Then wouldn't I be left with nothing?"

Zhao Fei was dumbfounded.

Su Wuchen: "I'll do your makeup beautifully."

Zhao Fei: "Thanks!"

The three of them were unhurried, but they were extremely nervous and dared not relax for a moment.

Even the slightest disturbance would put the three of them on edge, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Meow.

Suddenly, the three of them stopped in their tracks.

A stray cat with gray and white fur emerged from the bushes ahead, carrying a bone in its mouth. After looking at the three of them, it turned and ran away.

"Oh……"

"You're scaring yourself."

Wang Chen smiled, but the smile on his face froze instantly the next second.

A gray shadow suddenly darted out from the bushes on one side, its sharp claws aimed straight for his throat.

"roll!"

Wang Chen raised his hand and threw a punch.

puff.

The gray cat flew backward, but several claw marks appeared on Wang Chen's fist.

At the same time, without saying a word, Su Wuchen affixed talismans to his body.

Vajra Talisman, Swift Travel Talisman, Qi Convergence Talisman...

The gleaming talismans left Wang Chen completely dumbfounded!

Not a buddy...

Is that right?

Now let's look at Zhao Fei...

Good guy.

Its entire body was covered with talismans, making it look like a zombie covered in talismans!

Meow.

The gray wildcat stared at the three of them with its deep blue eyes.

Strange chirping and crawling sounds came from the grass. In the blink of an eye, poisonous insects crawled out of the grass and gathered towards Su Wuchen and his companions.

Chirp chirp.

A strange, bat-like cry rang in the ears of the three.

Su Wuchen and the other two understood what was going on.

coming!

he came!

However, the Gu cultivator remained as cautious as ever, and what appeared around Su Wuchen and the other two were either poisonous insects or that strange gray cat.

As for the Gu worm that makes strange noises, it has not yet shown itself.

The three people stood back to back.

Wang Chen: "Where did you get so many talismans? Give me two quickly."

Zhao Fei casually handed over a few bills, "Eight thousand per bill, boss, remember to reimburse me."

"..."

Wang Chen silently affixed the talisman to his body, only then did he feel a little safer.

It wasn't that the three of them were afraid, but rather that the scene before them was too bizarre.

The three of them truly experienced what it felt like for Li Gang to be surrounded by a swarm of poisonous insects.

I feel nauseous, numb, and covered in goosebumps.

Most importantly, so far only these poisonous insects and Gu worms have appeared; the Gu cultivators have not yet shown themselves.

"Are you two done talking?!"

Su Wuchen, holding the talisman, said, "Hurry up and get rid of these poisonous insects."

With that, Su Wuchen threw out a blazing fire talisman.

Wang Chen and his companion didn't hesitate either, each throwing out their talismans.

The talismans transformed into raging fire, ice, and clods of earth, slaying the poisonous insects surrounding the three.

Suddenly, a dark shadow descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Before Wang Chen could react, the Vajra Talisman on his body instantly burst into flames and turned to ashes.

"It's a blood bat!"

Although he was unable to avoid the Gu worms' attack, Wang Chen recognized the Gu worms controlled by the Gu cultivator at a glance.

"Eighth-grade blood bat!"

"Fuck you! What kind of hero hides like that? Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

blah blah.

In response to Wang Chen's angry rebuke, a figure emerged from the darkness.

The newcomer wore a mask with a blue face and fangs, and was short and thin, like a minor. However, he was filled with a strange smell that wafted over even before he got close.

"Shangguan Yun is such an idiot for handing over the Gu worms to you."

The newcomer gave a sinister smile. "Could it be that you have a grudge against Shangguan Yun, and he's doing this on purpose, trying to use me to kill you?"

Su Wuchen raised an eyebrow. "You're the Gu cultivator that Shangguan Yun was chasing?"

"Doesn't it look like it?"

"It certainly doesn't look like it."

Su Wuchen nodded, then shielded Wang Chen and the other person in front of him, saying, "This bastard is very likely a Great Perfection Eighth Rank cultivator. You two be careful."

"...?"

Wang Chen and the other person turned around at the same time to look at Su Wuchen behind them.

Zhao Fei, in particular, was completely puzzled. What's wrong with being at the Great Perfection of the Eighth Rank? You've done it before, so why are you hiding behind me now?

"Zhao Fei, cover for me!"

Wang Chen gave a low shout and made the first move.

As Wang Chen leaped towards the Gu cultivator, he flipped his hand, and a large knife appeared in his palm. With a flash of cold light, he aimed straight for the Gu cultivator's neck!

It seemed as if he intended to sever his head with a single blow!

Ding!

The Gu cultivator calmly raised his hand and grabbed the broadsword, glancing silently at Wang Chen.

"Grass!"

"Corpse refining!"

Wang Chen's expression changed instantly as he saw the Gu cultivator's fist appear in front of him.

Wang Chen hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, but the opponent's powerful force sent him flying back, and even the broadsword in his hand fell into the opponent's hand.

"Corpse refining?"

"What, corpse refining?"

"He transformed his body into an ancient corpse!"

"WTF?"

Su Wuchen and the other person looked on in astonishment.

He transformed himself into an ancient corpse?

and so……

"This thing isn't human, it's a corpse?"

"Almost there, half-dead, with thick skin and flesh, as if wearing armor."

Wang Chen shook his left hand vigorously; it was bruised. "Be careful. Usually, corpse refiners release poison into their bodies, and if you get injured, the poison will enter your body."

"I'll give it a try!"

Zhao Fei flicked his staff, unleashing a devastating blow that struck the Gu cultivator's ribs.

The Gu cultivator remained unmoved, letting the staff fall on his body, and then threw a punch.

Bang!

The Vajra Talisman shattered instantly, and Zhao Fei staggered back to Su Wuchen and the other person's side.

"Grass……"

Zhao Fei's face was a little pale. "Boss, it seems we're really in trouble!"

"Burying the corpse, Su Ni..."

Zhao Fei turned around to look at Su Wuchen, but Su Wuchen was nowhere to be seen, and he froze on the spot.

"Why?"

"Where are the others?"

They ran away.
