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

The Bagua array pattern on the ground was completely swallowed up by the black water.

"boom!"

A jet of foul-smelling black water shot up more than two meters high, splashing onto the iron fence next to it.

"retreat!"

Master Simu grabbed Qianhe, who was about to rush forward, and pulled her back seven or eight steps.

Lin Chen reacted the fastest, grabbing the terrified Mayor Li by the back of his collar with one hand and throwing him into the passageway outside. He then stepped forward to block Uncle Jiu.

The black water receded, revealing a black hole half a meter wide at the core of the formation.

"Giggle giggle..."

A monster covered in tattered rags and with purplish-red skin crawled up.

The monster had no eyes, only two black holes on its face, a mouth full of fangs, and its body dripping with foul-smelling black water.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third also crawled out of the hole.

Four eyes widened, gripping the sword hilt: "Where did this monster come from? There's not even any corpse energy, just pure Yin energy!"

"These are the blood-fiend corpses that the White Lotus Sect used for burial!" Uncle Nine coughed twice, clutching his chest.

"They've been soaking in the mass grave for over a hundred years; their flesh has long since crystallized into malevolent energy, making them impervious to blades and spears. The black water is highly poisonous; don't try to touch it!"

Mayor Li fell in the passageway, gasping for breath in pain.

He watched as the three monsters crawled out of the cell and scrambled toward the stairs.

"Help! Shoot! Help!" Mayor Li screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

One of the Blood Fiend Corpses heard the noise and suddenly turned its head toward Mayor Li.

It pounced on all fours with incredible speed, reaching the iron gate in just a few steps.

"Help me!" Mayor Li used both hands and feet to back away.

Lin Chen watched coldly from the sidelines.

This warlord, in his quest for territory, disregarded the lives of everyone in Renjia Town; they deserved to die.

Lin Chen drew the lightning-struck wooden sword from his back and directly confronted the other two blood-fiend corpses that were charging towards Uncle Nine.

"Lin Chen, don't touch it with your hands!" Uncle Jiu urged urgently.

Lin Chen's inner energy vortex surged wildly, and the power of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture was poured into the lightning-struck wooden sword without reservation. The wooden sword lit up with blue lightning, mixed with a slight sound of wind and thunder.

The lightning-struck wooden sword, imbued with the righteous energy of heavenly thunder, struck the shoulder of the blood-fiend corpse charging at the forefront.

"Bang!"

A chunk of the Blood Fiend Corpse's hard shoulder was cleaved off; instead of bleeding, a plume of foul-smelling black smoke billowed from the wound.

Heavenly thunder, righteous energy, overcomes yin and evil.

The Blood Fiend Corpse let out a scream, flew backward, and crashed into the wall.

As soon as Master Four Eyes saw Lin Chen succeed, he swung his fifty-pound Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword and charged forward.

"Take this!"

The greatsword slashed at the waist of another blood-fiend corpse.

The blood-fiend corpse reacted extremely quickly, grabbing the spine of the sword with its claw.

The yang fire of the crimson copper scalded the blood-fiend corpse's claws, causing white smoke to rise from them, and the four eyes were also shaken, making their tiger's mouth numb.

"This thing is incredibly strong!" Si Mu swung his arms.

Master Qianhe bit his middle finger and smeared it on the peach wood sword. He then slapped the Five Emperor Coins onto the sword and stabbed the Blood Fiend Corpse in the side.

The peach wood sword only pierced in half an inch, and could not go any further.

With her left hand, Qianhe pulled out a brass Bagua mirror. Using the faint moonlight filtering in from outside the cell, she bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of pure Yang essence blood onto the mirror surface.

A beam of golden light shone directly into the face of the blood-red corpse, scalding it and causing it to scream in agony.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Si Mu swung his greatsword and slammed it to the ground.

In the passageway, Mayor Li was unable to dodge in time and was pinned to the ground by the Blood Fiend Corpse. The Blood Fiend Corpse opened its large mouth full of fangs and bit Mayor Li's thigh.

"what!"

Mayor Li screamed in agony as a piece of flesh, including his trouser leg, was torn off.

Lin Chen pinched out two Fiery Talismans with his left hand, and the talismans turned into two beams of yellow light and stuck to the back of the Blood Fiend Corpse.

"burst!"

Two bursts of Yang Fire exploded on the back of the Blood Fiend Corpse.

The Blood Fiend Corpse staggered from the explosion, released Mayor Li, and turned to stare intently at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen drew his sword and strode closer.

The Blood Fiend Corpse swung its claws toward Lin Chen's face, but Lin Chen dodged it by tilting his head. He then used his right hand to slash upwards with the lightning-struck wooden sword toward its throat.

"Lin Chen, attack the nodule three inches below its throat!" Uncle Nine shouted from behind.

Lin Chen heard it clearly and pressed down with his sword.

The wooden sword, its tip crackling with blue electricity, pierced three inches below the throat of the blood-fiend corpse.

The sword tip plunged straight in, Lin Chen clenched his left fist, and the power of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture gathered at the tip of his fist, unleashing a Maoshan Ordinary Fist into the end of the sword hilt.

"Penetrating force!"

The penetrating force traveled along the wooden sword, piercing through the body of the Blood Fiend Corpse, where the righteous energy of heavenly thunder exploded.

The Blood Fiend Corpse's chest cavity suddenly swelled, and a hole exploded in its back.

The black aura dissipated, and the century-old blood-fiend corpse collapsed to the ground, turning into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

Lin Chen withdrew his wooden sword and shook off the black water from the blade.

Mayor Li clutched his bleeding thigh and rolled on the ground, nearly fainting from the pain.

"Senior brother, they're still draining Yin energy from Blackwater Town!"

Master Qianhe retreated to Uncle Jiu's side and pointed to the large hole in the ground.

The black water inside the dark hole swirled wildly, forming a funnel-shaped waterspout.

The temperature in the entire cell plummeted, a layer of frost formed on the ground, and even the breath turned into white mist.

Uncle Nine's face turned ashen: "That evil cultivator is using this path to cast a spell! He's going to use the more than one hundred coffins in Blackwater Town to suck up the most ferocious thing in this mass grave!"

"Once that thing is allowed to travel along the earth's veins to Blackwater Town and merge with the zombie generals of the former dynasty, this area within a hundred miles will become a complete wasteland!"

Four Eyes brandished his sword, forcing back the last remaining blood-fiend corpse, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Feng Jiao, what do we do now? We can't just fill that hole with mud!"

"We must sever the earth's veins!" Uncle Nine exclaimed urgently. "Use an extremely yang object to strike the hole and blast apart the yin energy channels inside!"

Master Qianhe looked troubled: "This black water is too corrosive. Ordinary fire talismans thrown in won't even make a splash. I only have a few high-level corpse-suppressing talismans, which can't withstand this yin energy."

The ground began to shake violently.

A deep, muffled roar echoed from the depths of the dark abyss, its sound filled with boundless resentment.

The black water at the center of the whirlpool began to surge upwards, and a black outline could be vaguely seen rising rapidly.

Lin Chen kicked the blood-fiend corpse in front of him away, using the force to retreat to the edge of the array.

He glanced down at the bottomless whirlpool of black water and felt the chilling aura beneath.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen reached into his robes.

Seeing Lin Chen's actions, Uncle Nine assumed he was about to take the corpse-suppressing talisman and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Lin Chen, it's useless! A high-level corpse-suppressing talisman can't suppress the earth's yin energy, don't waste your energy!"

Lin Chen held a yellow talisman that emitted a faint blue light between his fingers.

As soon as the talisman was taken out, a restless, stormy atmosphere filled the air.

Uncle Nine immediately recognized the array patterns on the talisman: "Five Thunder Talisman? How do you know how to draw such a high-level talisman?"

Master Simu was also dumbfounded, his sword-wielding hand frozen in mid-air.

The Maoshan Five Thunder Talisman is a deadly weapon that only elders can barely draw. How long has this disciple been cultivating it?

Lin Chen stared at the vortex below, bit his finger, and smeared a drop of blood onto the talisman.

The Five Thunder Talisman flashed with lightning, and the yin energy in the cell was scattered by this extremely strong yang energy.

Lin Chen turned to look at Uncle Nine, his face illuminated by lightning.

"Master Uncle, the corpse-suppressing talisman is not working."

"What about the Five Thunder Talisman?"
