Uncle Nine: You were supposed to drive corpses, so you summoned the Monkey King!

Red-haired man's withered lips opened and closed.

Two indistinct syllables were squeezed out from deep in his throat: "Zhuge..."

The dry, thin claws went straight for Zhuge Kongping's throat.

The distance is too close.

Wang Hui cried out in surprise and thrust her peach wood sword forward, trying to block the attack.

Click.

The red-haired demon didn't even dodge. He raised his arm and smashed the peach wood sword in half. The force of the impact sent Wang Hui flying, crashing onto the stone steps.

The red-haired demon's momentum did not diminish; the tips of his fingernails were only half an inch away from the major artery on Zhuge Kongping's neck.

"clang!"

The fifty-pound Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword slashed down from the sky, getting stuck between the Red-Haired Demon's claws and Zhuge Kongping's neck.

Master Simu gripped the sword hilt with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead.

"You fatso! What are you standing there for, waiting to die?!" Four Eyes roared, the pure yang essence blood on the sword was aroused by the baleful aura and began to hiss and emit white smoke.

Zhuge Kongping then came to his senses, dodged to the side, wiped the blood from his chin, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"They've dared to bully Fatty!"

Zhuge Kongping tore open his long robe, revealing a ring of brass tubes tied inside. He pulled out a half-foot-long jujube wood nail, spat out a mouthful of blood from his tongue, and then shoved the nail hard into the crack of the floor tiles beneath his feet.

"Qimen Dunjia, Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

Zhuge Kongping quickly formed hand seals and stomped his feet three times.

The jujube wood nails driven into the paving stones shone brightly with a red light. The extremely yin energy that was originally brought by the Red Hair Demon in the courtyard was forcibly drawn by this force and poured out of the courtyard wall along the earth's veins.

The chill in the air immediately lessened by a third.

Red-haired Demon sensed the loss of Yin energy around him, let out an angry roar, abandoned Four-Eyed Taoist, and turned to stare at Zhuge Kongping.

"Master, move aside."

Lin Chen's voice came from the side.

Master Simu turned his head and his eyelids twitched.

Lin Chen planted the lightning-struck wooden sword, tainted by corpse blood, into the ground. His entire right arm was wrapped with pure copper wire, the other end of which was directly connected to the positive terminal of Xiao Ming's diesel generator.

A layer of magical light emanated from Lin Chen's body, and the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture was running at full speed, isolating the high-voltage current from his physical body.

Three hundred and eighty volts of alternating current flowed across the copper wires of his right arm, bursting into clusters of dazzling blue arcs.

"Xiao Ming, floor the gas!" Lin Chen shouted.

Zhuge Xiaoming squatted next to the generator, holding the throttle cable with both hands. Thick black exhaust gas spewed out of the diesel engine's exhaust pipe, and the engine body vibrated so much that it seemed about to fall apart.

The red-haired demon ignored Lin Chen completely and pounced on Zhuge Kongping again. Its remaining consciousness was filled only with resentment towards the Zhuge family bloodline.

Lin Chen took a step with the Seven Star Step, his figure blurred, and he directly stood between the red-haired demon and Zhuge Kongping.

Facing the long, hairy claws that reached out, Lin Chen swung his right arm in a wide arc and threw out a Maoshan-style ordinary punch.

With his full power attribute unleashed, his fist, wrapped in electrified copper wires, struck the red-haired demon's palm squarely.

"Bang!"

A high-voltage electric arc shot up the red-haired man's arm, burning that stiff section of red hair until it was charred and curled, and the air was filled with the smell of a burnt dead rat.

The red-haired demon was forced back five or six steps by this brute force.

Lin Chen was also in bad shape; his right arm went numb. The monster's bones were ridiculously hard, even harder than the copper-armored corpse from Xishuangbanna that he had encountered earlier that day.

"Such hard bones." Lin Chen flicked his right hand, arcs of electricity dancing on his fingertips.

Master Four Eyes walked over, dragging his Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword, and stood side by side with Lin Chen.

"This thing has been buried underground for at least two hundred years, absorbing the earth's energy every day. Its bones have long since turned to jade. Ordinary magic artifacts can't break through its defenses at all." Four eyes stared at the red-haired demon.

Red-haired Demon steadied himself, looked down at his charred palms, and the red light in his eyes flickered uncertainly, as if he realized that the vigorous young man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

"Brother Four Eyes, Junior Nephew Lin, I'm here to help you!"

After regaining his composure, Zhuge Kongping took out a handful of copper coins engraved with cinnabar runes from his pocket.

He grabbed a few copper coins, aimed carefully, and threw them out.

"A net that can trap you from heaven and earth!"

The copper coins scattered in mid-air and fell into the eight directions surrounding the Red-haired Demon. As soon as they landed, visible yellow light appeared between the copper coins, forming a temporary trapping formation.

Red-haired demon took a step forward, bumped into the yellow light, and white smoke rose from his body.

"Now's the time!" Zhuge Kongping shouted.

Without hesitation, Master Si Mu raised the fifty-pound sword with both hands, exerted force with his legs, and leaped high into the air, delivering a powerful blow that cleaved Mount Hua straight towards the top of Red Hair Demon's head.

The red-haired demon's speed was restricted by the formation, so he could only raise his arms to block.

Clang!

The Crimson Copper Greatsword struck Red-Haired Fiend's arms, causing his knees to bend.

The red-haired demon let out a painful growl from its throat. Large patches of red hair on its arms were burned away by the yang fire of the Crimson Flame Copper, revealing the withered and blackened flesh underneath.

Lin Chen was not idle.

He rushed forward in two strides, and taking advantage of the fact that the red-haired demon was suppressed by the four eyes, he once again gathered strength in his right arm.

"Penetrating force!"

The electrified fist slammed into the red-haired demon's chest.

The magical power, mixed with 380 volts of high-voltage electricity, penetrated the hard outer skin and struck directly into the chest cavity of the red-haired demon.

The clothes on the back of the red-haired demon instantly ripped apart, and a stream of black blood spurted from its mouth, splashing onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

Master Simu used the recoil to perform a backflip and land on his feet, panting heavily.

Lin Chen also took two steps back, creating some distance.

Red-haired Demon knelt stiffly on the ground, his chest caved in, seemingly motionless.

The courtyard quieted down, with only the diesel generator still whirring.

Zhuge Xiaoming poked his head out: "Is he dead?"

Lin Chen stared at the red-haired demon, his brows furrowed.

He did not feel the yin energy dissipate; instead, he sensed an even more violent aura brewing within that withered body.

"He's not dead, step back!" Lin Chen called out to remind them.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the red-haired demon, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly moved.

Instead of attacking Lin Chen and Si Mu, it landed on all fours and aimed directly at the several white-haired zombies outside the gate of the Ghost Sealing Warehouse, which had been charred by the electric net.

The speed is twice as fast as before.

The temporary copper coin formation set up by Zhuge Kongping was smashed by it with its body, and the copper coins were scattered on the ground.

The red-haired demon pounced on a white-haired zombie, its thin arms wrapped around the zombie's neck, and it opened its mouth full of fangs and bit down.

It didn't suck blood because the zombie's body was already dry.

It's absorbing the stench of corpses.

Visibly, the white-haired zombie shriveled up at an extremely rapid pace, turning into a pile of grayish-white powder in just a few seconds.

After absorbing the essence of one corpse, the red-haired demon immediately pounced on the next.

"Oh no! It's devouring its own kind to replenish its yin energy!" Zhuge Kongping exclaimed in alarm. "Stop it quickly!"

Master Simu was about to charge forward with his sword in hand.

Lin Chen grabbed him.

"It's too late." Lin Chen looked over there.

The Red-Haired Demon has already drained three White-Haired Zombies dry.

The once restless horde of corpses in the sealed ghost vault were now completely silent, seemingly sensing some kind of extreme fear, and huddled together in the corner of the iron fence.

Having absorbed enough corpse energy, the red-haired demon slowly stood up.

The bone in its chest that Lin Chen had dented made a cracking sound, but it actually popped back out on its own and returned to its original shape.

Moreover, large areas of its charred red fur began to fall off.

Instead, a layer of fine, bluish-black metallic scales emerged from its flesh, covering its neck, arms, and chest.

A malevolent aura, several times stronger than before, spread throughout the courtyard.

Master Four Eyes tightened his grip on his sword, his face turning grim.

"It's grown scales! This isn't some red-haired demon anymore, this thing is evolving into a flying yaksha!"

Zhuge Kongping's expression turned solemn upon hearing this name.

"It's over, the Zhuge family is finished today..."
