Chapter 58 Sweep (Fifth Update)

A flash of golden light, and its body began to spontaneously combust, quickly drying out.

Perhaps because these corpse puppets have physical bodies, even when they were harmed by the power of exorcism, they did not turn into ashes like the barbarian ghosts.

Their bodies have some remains.

One fatal blow!

"So fast!"

The captain gasped.

He had just tried to attack the vital points of these rotting corpse puppets, but their heads were exceptionally hard and could not be broken by ordinary attacks.

But Li Yuan only needed one strike—

That kind of power was absolutely terrifying.

Before everyone could react, Li Yuan moved again.

His figure moved like a ghost among the rotting corpse puppets.

Each swing of the bat was accompanied by a dull thud and the cracking sound of bones breaking.

There were no unnecessary movements or fancy techniques.

It's simply about drawing, breaking, sweeping, and clicking.

But every strike was precise and fatal.

It was as if those rotting corpse puppets in front of him were just a pile of straw waiting to be harvested.

"Bang!"

A rotting corpse puppet was struck in the chest, and its entire ribcage collapsed.

"Snap!"

The other arm was smashed by a blow, sending bone fragments and rotting flesh flying.

"Bang!"

The third one had its kneecap shattered by a single blow and collapsed to its knees.

In less than thirty seconds, all six rotting corpse puppets at the forefront collapsed to the ground.

Golden flames burned on them, dispelling the darkness of the night, but no heat was emitted.

Clearly, the golden flames themselves are not fire, but rather an external effect that activates the evil-repelling properties.

The remaining rotting corpse puppets seemed to sense a threat and actually stopped their attack.

Their cloudy, lifeless eyes stared intently at Li Yuan, and they let out threatening growls.

"Holy crap—that's incredible!"

The burly man with a thick beard swallowed hard, his eyes filled with shock.

He had just fought a rotting corpse puppet head-on for several minutes before barely managing to knock it back.

As a result, Li Yuan killed them one by one with a single blow.

The difference is just too big!

His strength—has probably truly reached the Innate Realm?

The captain took a deep breath, secretly astonished: This strength seems to be even greater than before, and by a significant margin!

He wasn't mistaken; when Li Yuan was wreaking havoc in the Wilderness World, the "Master of Staying Up All Night" statistic wasn't active.

Now, Li Yuan's strength is equivalent to an improvement of two units in physical fitness.

"I had heard before that he only had a limit after birth, but now it seems that the rumor was completely inaccurate!"

"The limits of what can be achieved through natural processes?"

The middle-aged man in the Taoist robe looked serious: "The power of that blow probably surpasses that of an ordinary expert at the Innate Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"Innate Realm —"

That would already be considered mid-to-high-level combat power in the Exorcist Association!

It should be noted that Vice President Fang Leng appears to be only at the Innate Realm.

How could a newcomer like Li Yuan, who only recently registered, have already reached this level?

This talent is terrifying!

Just as everyone was in shock, Li Yuan made his move again.

He charged towards the remaining rotting corpse puppets, moving even faster than before.

The rotting corpse puppets roared and pounced on him, trying to tear him to pieces.

But their attacks seemed to move in slow motion in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan casually dodged the attack of a sharp claw, then swept his staff horizontally.

"Bang!"

The rotting corpse puppet was struck in the waist, and its body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Before the corpse hit the ground, Li Yuan had already turned to face the other one, and the bamboo stick shot out like a nimble snake, accurately hitting the other's Adam's apple.

"Snap!"

The throat bone was fractured.

The rotting corpse puppet clutched its neck and staggered backward, making a hissing sound as it collapsed to the ground.

Several exorcists were already dumbfounded.

This is not a battle, it's a massacre!

Those rotting corpse puppets they had been besieging for half a day were utterly helpless in front of Li Yuan.

In less than two minutes, most of the rotting corpse puppets in the square were cleared away.

It must be said that these corpse puppets are indeed very strong, at least stronger than the barbarian ghosts that Li Yuan had encountered before.

Some of them were even stronger than the rotting corpse puppet he had encountered before.

The remaining seven or eight seemed to finally realize that the human in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.

They let out unwilling roars and actually began to retreat, clearly not without consciousness.

Of course, it's also possible that something behind them is manipulating all of this.

"Don't let them get away!"

The captain realized what was happening and shouted loudly.

Before he could do anything, Li Yuan had already taken a step forward, his figure appearing in front of the retreating corpse puppet as if by teleportation.

"Trying to run now?"

Li Yuan sneered and unleashed a barrage of blows with his cyan-gold bamboo staff, like a violent storm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five muffled thuds followed, and the heads of the five rotting corpse puppets exploded like fireworks.

The last three were so frightened by this terrifying scene that they turned and ran away.

But how could Li Yuan possibly let them go?

"Bang!"

One of them, its waist nearly shattered by the blow, was ignited by golden flames as it flew through the air.

"boom!"

Half of one shoulder exploded, and golden patterns instantly spread across the entire body before turning into golden flames. It slid across the ground for twenty or thirty meters before coming to a stop, having become a dried-up corpse.

At this point, the last rotting corpse puppet was already sixty or seventy meters away.

With a flick of their wrists, the bamboo sticks flew out of their hands, piercing the chest of a rotting corpse puppet with pinpoint accuracy, like javelins.

A flash of golden light, and the rotting corpse puppet was pinned to the ground, its body quickly enveloped in golden flames.

In the blink of an eye, all the rotting corpse puppets were dealt with.

The entire square fell completely silent.

All that remained were the rotting remains of corpses burning in golden flames, and a thick, foul stench permeating the air.

"Done."

Li Yuan swiftly arrived in front of the corpse, pulled out the cyan bamboo stick, and then turned and walked back to the crowd.

His current true strength is at the fourth level of the Oddity Realm.

With the added boost from the "night owl," it has reached level five of the ominous signs.

This level of skill should be considered top-tier within the entire Exorcist Association of Donghe City.

Moreover, he also has a bamboo stick enhanced with the [Equivalent Evolution] attribute.

Therefore, this battle did not take much effort on him.

"Brother Li—no, Senior Li!"

The middle-aged captain strode forward, his eyes filled with awe and excitement: "Thank you so much, Senior Li, for saving us. If you hadn't arrived in time, we probably would have—"

"It's nothing, just a small favor."

Li Yuan waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "But how come you guys encountered so many rotting corpse puppets?"

At this moment, he recognized the other person. The other person's name seemed to be Sun Changwei.

"Why--"

Sun Changwei sighed, "We were patrolling nearby, trying to maintain order, when we suddenly heard a commotion here and came to check. We never expected to encounter so many monsters."

"We fought for ages and only managed to take down three or four of them —"

The burly man with a thick beard scratched his head somewhat ashamed.

"These rotting corpse puppets are already close in strength to ordinary innate masters."

Sun Changwei said gravely, "If it weren't for Senior Li's intervention, even if we had managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived, we would have suffered heavy losses."

"really----"

The female exorcist continued, a flicker of lingering fear in her eyes: "That creature that attacked me just now almost—"

"It's good that you're alright."

Li Yuan nodded, took out his phone, took a few photos and uploaded them, then said, "I've already reported this location, and the association should send someone to handle the follow-up soon."

[The release was so sudden that I can only release five chapters at a time. From now on, since it's already released, I'll try to update three chapters a day; any extras will be considered a bonus. Please vote and give me a reward!]
