Excessive ferocity due to caution

Burial Valley.

Outside stood a Taoist priest, holding a compass, with a solemn expression.

"To find the dragon's aura, first look for its veins; where clouds and mist abound, lies the dragon's spine. At the turn of spring and summer, and the equinoxes, look for where the clouds and mist appear at night..."

He muttered to himself, but before he could finish, someone stepped over him from behind, snatched the compass from his hand, and sent it flying into the distance with a "whoosh."

The Taoist priest stared in astonishment.

Depend on!

His frisbee... no, his compass!

This is a family heirloom!

"Who the hell are you, getting so handsy?!"

He grabbed the man's clothes, but as soon as the man turned around, the Taoist immediately let go, trembling with fright!

"Zhao Yi, the Demon?!"

Zhao Yi straightened his collar and frowned, saying:

"We're all adults; we should be more mature."

"Don't call me by such childish nicknames for no reason."

"Oh, by the way, did you need something?"

The Taoist stared at Zhao Yi's face and swallowed hard.

"No...it's nothing."

Zhao Yi turned his head away.

With a heavy heart, the Taoist went to retrieve his flying...compass.

Danger lurks in every corner of the Valley of the Dead.

He arrived at the location of the compass, picked it up from the ground with a heavy heart, wiped off the dirt, and suddenly saw a terrifying head appear in the grass, which startled him so much that he fell to the ground!

However, the Taoist soon discovered that the head belonged to a strange creature that was already dead.

His heart was pounding, and he let out a long breath.

The Taoist priest stood up cursing and looked back at where he had been standing. Zhao Yi and the others who had followed him had disappeared.

"I wish you good fortune and longevity, Daoist Master."

He cursed them a couple of times, but after hesitating for a moment, he still followed them eagerly.

Having come this far, it would be very difficult for him to give up.

This road leads to the heart of Burial Valley.

There were bound to be countless dangers on the road. He himself had not dared to enter rashly before, but now that Zhao Yi was clearing the way, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

On the way, Zhao Yi made a move, killing several powerful evil spirits with overwhelming force, leaving the seven people accompanying him feeling numb.

They had already witnessed Zhao Yi's power, but even now, they found that Zhao Yi was beyond their imagination and understanding.

Is this... really someone who has just entered the Great Perilous Realm?

As for the heartland, Zhao Yi stopped making a move and instead led them up a high mountain with a wide view. Using the trees for cover, they watched the dense black shadows gathered in the open area in the distance!

Those... are all evil spirits that have gathered from various places.

The number of extremely dangerous and bizarre creatures is around fifty or sixty!

The remaining thousands are all treacherous tales born from great misfortune!

Although they were not at the level of the Great Fiend, everyone present knew that the real problem with these vengeful ghosts was that they carried 'diseases'!

Unless you eliminate them with overwhelming force like Zhao Yi, you could be infected at any time once you get entangled with them!

Even if some people know how to prevent infection, they often can't afford to think about that when fighting an enemy of similar strength!

Once infected... it means certain death!

Looking down at the evil spirits gathering below, everyone on the mountain felt a chill run down their spines.

"What...are they doing?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice.

"Unify thinking."

The rotting heart in Zhao Yi's hand opened.

"They are receiving 'instructions'."

"Under the repeated brainwashing of 'instructions,' they will become precise but emotionless machines."

Zhao Yi squinted.

"Are they afraid?"

The rotting heart paused for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yi slowly picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and threw it towards the ghosts in the open area below amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd!

That's the idea.

He said.

Rotten heart:

"You're like a madman!"

"Fortunately, while they are being brainwashed, they are not sensitive to external influences..."

As soon as it finished speaking, a dazzling aurora suddenly burst forth in the distance below!

He was stunned by the rotting heart that Zhao Yi was holding in his hand.

boom!

The mountain shook.

A terrifying explosion rang out, and the power of the Great Sun from the Analects was fully released, causing the brainwashed ghosts below to let out a terrible howl!

"Zhao Yi! Are you crazy?!"

The seven people following behind Zhao Yi were also terrified by Zhao Yi's sudden behavior!

"There are thousands of strange things down there!"

"You...you!?"

Zhao lit a cigarette, took out his long sword Taotie, and twirled it.

There's only one.

As he spoke, to the astonishment of the seven people, he took a step forward and jumped off the cliff!

The group quickly arrived at the cliff edge, and just as they were about to look down, they saw a terrifying blade of light sweeping in with the force of wind and clouds!

The first strike... cleaves the heavens!

With the evolution of the laws of nature, the power of the Heaven-Opening Blade was increased to the extreme. The blade light was hundreds of feet long and directly shattered hundreds of evil spirits in front of it, startling tens of thousands of crows in the mountains and forests!

As the blade's power waned, the surviving eerie creatures looked at Zhao Yi, who was slowly approaching with his blade dragging, and a barely perceptible fear flashed across their pale faces.

That is the innate fear of the weak towards the strong.

"Where is your boss?"

Zhao asked these vengeful ghosts.

The calmer the sound, the greater the pressure.

At that moment, these almost mindless vengeful ghosts all took a step back in unison.

"It...is..."

"You...look...look..."

There was a vengeful ghost that had been severely injured by Zhao Yikaitian's sword. It could not speak clearly and was unable to express its true thoughts.

It is the most powerful ghost here.

Its strength is at the high level of the Great Ferocity.

If they were to meet head-on, it would be extremely troublesome for Zhao Yi to deal with him.

Unfortunately... because it was almost completely unprepared when it received the 'command', it took a direct hit from Zhao Yikaitian's blade without any warning!

Even so, the ghost did not die!

This is enough to demonstrate its power!

The other ghosts involuntarily retreated when they saw Zhao Yi dragging his sword towards them.

That last strike pierced their very souls, unleashing their deepest fears!

Like brainless insects, they would also flee in terror when faced with a huge creature!

Clang!

The blade hummed softly.

Zhao Yidao pointed indifferently at the forehead of the vengeful ghost kneeling on the ground before him.

Where is it?

The vengeful ghost raised its head.

Her dark green eyes met Zhao's gaze.

"I...it...the...mausoleum...palace...all..."

It managed to utter a few words.

Then Zhao Yi cleaved him in two.

Blood was everywhere.

PS: Second update.

Goodnight, my darlings!!

I'll set an alarm for tomorrow morning so I can get up early and get to work. My stomach has been upset lately, it keeps throbbing, and even though I'm eating normally, it's really strange. It feels like I'm back in junior high. Back then, I would thrash around every day after lunch, and going to the public restroom felt like going home.
