Chapter 160: Female Ghost

  Golden light suddenly splits in the midst of a flock of ravens, instantly splitting into countless golden flying blades, extremely sharp, killing in all directions.

  Pffft!

  Quack quack quack...

  Crows shrieked one after another, and in the air burst open one after another a puff of blood mist, which was surprisingly black.

  Just then, a dangerous warning suddenly rose in Ye Chen's heart. In the place where the crows had surrounded and eaten before, a figure suddenly burst out at an extremely fast speed, so sudden that Ye Chen didn't even have time to react effectively.

  A sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and in an instant, Ye Chen caught a whiff of an extremely nauseating stench that seemed to come from right in front of him, almost making him vomit.

  Hiss!

  The air was torn apart by a sharp, ear-piercing sound. Ye Chen felt his vision blur for an instant as a dark, forest-like claw tore through space with the sharpness of a divine sword, striking with lightning speed.

  Ye Chen was slightly startled in his heart, and the Wind Step quadrupled its speed, instantly retreating a distance, but still failed to completely avoid this claw.

  Clang!

  Those dark and shiny claws swept across Ye Chen's chest, sparks flying everywhere, as a series of metallic clashing sounds rang out.

  It was only then that Ye Chen saw clearly what had attacked him. It was a rotting corpse, the same one that the crows had been pecking at earlier.

  The corpse now stood ten meters in front of Ye Chen, its entire body overflowing with foul-smelling corpse water. Its face was sunken and exposed bones, but the pair of red eyes were moving, flashing a fierce and menacing light.

  Corpse monster!

  Ye Chen suddenly thought of it, the thing in front of him must be what they called a corpse monster, he didn't expect it to have such a disgusting appearance, and it was far from the zombie image in his mind.

  However, this guy in front of him obviously has a high level of spiritual intelligence. That group of crows is clearly being raised by this corpse monster. Just now, it was deliberately used to distract Ye Chen's attention and achieve a fatal blow.

  Never in a million years did I think that this person's physical strength would be so freakishly strong, his sharp claws couldn't even be broken through defense.

  Ye Chen's divine consciousness swept over and immediately saw the corpse demon's cultivation realm, equivalent to the third life spring of the Secret Realm of the Sea of Fate.

  "Hooray!!"

  The corpse monster stared at Ye Chen, letting out a series of loud roars. Its two arms hung down on both sides, with its black fingers being three inches long, curved and gleaming with a cold, dark light.

  "I smell the scent of fresh blood, so delicious and enticing. Your vital energy is full, if I drain you dry, I can break through to the next realm!"

  A divine consciousness fluctuation came, the corpse monster's rotten mouth moved a few times, its claws lifted, and with a scratching sound, it scratched out deep scratches on a large stone beside it, and the scratched area turned black.

  "Monk, offer up your vital energy!"

  The corpse monster let out another roar and pounced over.

  Ye Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed, a large orange-golden hand appeared out of thin air, and with one grasp, it seized the corpse's skull. With a twist of force, there was a cracking sound, and the corpse's skull was directly twisted off.

  "Hooray!!"

  The corpse's skull was still roaring in Ye Chen's golden blood-filled hand, its fierce howls unceasing. With a single pinch of his five fingers, Ye Chen crushed the corpse's skull with a loud bang, and the roars came to an abrupt halt.

  In an instant, a brown corpse core appeared before his eyes, about the size of a thumb. The surface of the corpse core was flowing with spiritual energy, containing the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy absorbed by the corpse demon for a long time, as well as the vital energy refined from the living creatures it had absorbed.

  Ye Chen casually put the corpse core into an empty storage bag. These corpse cores were too disgusting, he wasn't planning to use them to refine elixirs, but in the future when entering the Spiritual Spring Blessed Land, they could be used to exchange for sect contributions and obtain items, which wasn't bad either.

  Ye Chen looked around, his vigilance growing even more intense. He hadn't expected these corpse monsters to also use tactics to lure their enemies in. If not for his strong physical body, he would have already been injured by the corpse monster earlier, and the consequences of being poisoned by its venom were too terrible to contemplate.

  Meow meow's back, Little Fairy Powder removed the small hands covering her eyes and looked ahead. Suddenly she clapped her hands in excitement, "Big brother is so awesome! He chased that disgusting thing away!"

  Ye Chen stroked her little face, smiled dotingly, and continued walking forward.

  At this time, outside the edge of the Fushi mountain range, Liu Feng and others looked at the mountain range, with cold lights flashing in their eyes. "Yang brother, you said that little guy has really entered the Fushi mountain range? We've been chasing all the way and haven't even seen his shadow, I suppose that little guy still has a spiritual soldier with wind spirit attribute on him, huh, unexpectedly that little guy is also a local tyrant."

  "Brother Liu, I dare to conclude that he must have already entered the Fushi Mountain Range. From Fushi City going south, there's no other place to go except for the Fushi Mountain Range. We'd better hurry up and follow him in, lest something unexpected happens." Yang Xiao said.

  "Not bad, we'll follow up, if the other person dies it's fine, but if that spiritual beast is okay, won't we have been busy for nothing? After the matter is settled, the spiritual soldiers will be yours, and the spiritual beast will belong to me. Does Brother Yang have any objections?"

  "In the absence of any objection, Brother Liu's decision is final." Yang Xiao said, not that he had no objections, but rather that he couldn't have any objections. Even if they were to give him the spiritual beast, his family still wouldn't be able to protect it, and might even bring about greater disaster. Moreover, the Liu family wasn't someone that the Yang family could afford to offend.

  "That's good." Liu Feng looked at Yang Xiao with a hint of a smile, raised his hand and beckoned, saying: "Let's go, we'll follow them in."

  Inside the Fushi mountain range, Ye Chen quickly shuttled back and forth, with Xiao Xianfeng tightly following behind him.

  This mountain range hides too many dangers, Ye Chen wants to cross the edge of the Foshi Mountain Range as soon as possible.

  As it went deeper, the resentment and yin energy became more intense, and the grayish air seemed to have become a belt.

  Ye Chen did not try to take another road and always followed the route indicated on the map.

  About two or three hours later, a vast canyon appeared before Ye Chen's eyes.

  On both sides are towering mountains, with fog swirling above that cannot be dispersed, eerily desolate. There is only one wide canyon that can be traversed.

  The canyon was very large and deep, and at a glance, it seemed endless. Ye Chen stepped into it, with Miao Miao following closely behind.

  After entering the canyon, what enters the eye is the endless graveyard on both sides of the canyon, densely packed with tombs, countless white bones scattered between the tombs, filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

  In the tomb, there were some tattered white cloth sails everywhere. The sails swayed in the wind, and due to the long years, the white sails had all turned grayish black, with some even stained with dark blood.

  Under this scene, even Ye Chen had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. The canyon was filled with a gloomy wind that made a mournful sound, and the sails were blown by the wind, making a rustling noise.

  Ye Chen was perplexed, thinking that this place was the path leading to the Lingquan Blessed Land. If so, the strong practitioners of the Lingquan Blessed Land should have purified all the yin energy here and eliminated the undead creatures.

  Judging from the scene in front of us, everything here has been around for a very long time.

  "Big brother, this place is scary, Xian'er is afraid, waaahhh..." Little Xianfeng shrank her neck and carefully looked at the tombs in the canyon.

  "Come, go to the Chaotic Fairy Ruins space." Ye Chen stretched out his hand and beckoned, and Xiao Xue's body flew over from Miao Miao's back, and with a thought, the Chaotic Fairy Ruins opened and took her in.

  Meow!

  Meow, she let out a low cry, and with her bright blue eyes, she gave Ye Chen a sideways glance, her expression seemingly quite dissatisfied.

  Ye Chen ignored it, of course he wouldn't bother with a spiritual beast. He just glanced at Miao Miao and continued walking deeper into the gorge.

  The deeper you go, the more eerie and gloomy it becomes, making one's whole body feel cold.

  "Uggghhh... Ahhhh..."

  Suddenly a shrill and mournful cry echoed through the entire valley, with a sharp voice that was extremely piercing, like a female ghost wailing.

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his muscles tensed up involuntarily. The white cat behind him stood up on its hind legs, its fur standing on end like snow needles, and its bright blue eyes gazed vigilantly in the direction of the mournful sound.

  Ye Chen's heart was filled with a creeping sense of dread. What kind of place was this Fushi Mountain Range, anyway? It was so eerie and strange, could it be that there really were ghosts here?

  BOOM!!

  A figure fell from the sky a few miles away, heavily landing on the ground. It was an ancient corpse, wearing armor with rust spots all over it, and covered in scars left by swords and knives.

  The ancient corpse fell from the sky and directly trampled a grave below, splashing up a sky full of dust. Immediately afterwards, a fierce and unparalleled ghostly energy burst out of the exploded grave and shot into the sky.

  "Wow!"

  It was that chilling scream again, Ye Chen's pupils constricted, and this time he finally saw it clearly.

  The person who let out that mournful cry was surrounded by a malevolent aura as she burst forth from the grave, her clothes tattered and disheveled, her hair loose and wild, her entire body covered in bloodstains, one arm severed, fresh blood flowing freely.

  "Female ghost!"

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, he hadn't expected that there really was a ghost. The woman's face was deathly pale, her mouth was bleeding from the corners, and she didn't have any vital energy left, her entire body emitted an intense aura of a ghost, absolutely not a zombie!

  "Roar!"

  At the same time the female ghost rushed out, an ancient corpse wearing armor let out a roar, two sharp fangs protruded from its lips and pounced directly at the female ghost.

  "Save me, save me..."

  The female ghost rushed frantically towards the direction where Ye Chen was, shouting for help loudly.

  But the ancient corpse seemed to have also seen Ye Chen and Miao Miao, with an even more ferocious glint in its blood-red eyes. Suddenly, it abandoned the female ghost and pounced directly at Ye Chen.

  A few li away, he arrived in a flash. As the ancient corpse pounced over, with a wave of his arm, a long spear with rust spots appeared in his hand.

  The long spear pierced through the air with a loud whoosh, as if it had even pierced through the void. Its sharpness was unmatched, and it shot straight towards Ye Chen's chest.

  "Damn it!"

  Ye Chen coldly snorted and raised his hand, slapping a palm onto the long spear.

  Clang!

  The long spear quivered and buzzed incessantly, being knocked off its trajectory. At the same time, Ye Chen's leg swept towards Gu Shi's skull.

  That leg shone with golden light, carrying the power of a thousand tons, and killed with a loud noise. The ancient corpse raised its hand to block it.

  Boom!

  A violent force burst forth from the intersection of Ye Chen's leg and Gu Shi's arm, surging wildly in all directions. The momentum was like wave after wave, as if it had distorted space itself. In an instant, the surroundings shook violently, and the eight directions trembled.
