I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2118 Corpse Fish

Thousands of soldiers poured out of the city gate like a tide, instantly surrounding Liu Jun, Amo, and Xu Baoer. These soldiers were exactly the same as the ones they had encountered before, emitting a strong stench, as if they were zombies crawling out of a pile of rotting corpses. The air was filled with a disgusting smell, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Liu Jun frowned, trying to hold back the stench, secretly alert in his heart. Ah Mo beside him could no longer hold on, his face turned pale, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the ground. Seeing this, Xu Baoer quickly took out a delicate sachet from her arms, shook it gently, and the faint fragrance instantly dispelled the stench around. The three of them took a deep breath, and then they felt a little better.

"Who are you?" Liu Jun raised his head and looked directly at the young man in white robe on the city wall, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

The white-robed young man raised his lips slightly, revealing a proud smile, and said slowly: "The next generation leader of the Corpse Sect is Corpse Yuer."

"Corpse Sect?" Liu Jun frowned slightly and murmured softly, as if searching for clues about this sect in his memory.

Seeing this, Xu Baoer lowered her voice and explained, "The Corpse Sect was once a well-known sect in the God Realm, famous for controlling corpses and refining corpse puppets. However, they later acted too recklessly, arousing public anger, and were almost wiped out by the major sects. I didn't expect that they still exist in the world and have taken root in Xiangdong City."

"Huh? The sect has been destroyed?" Liu Jun said with narrowed eyes, his voice deliberately raised, a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

His eyes swept across the corpse fish's face, as if trying to catch a hint of panic or anger in the other's expression.

Shi Yu'er's face darkened instantly, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his voice was low and full of murderous intent: "You are looking for death!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand violently, and thousands of corpses rushed towards Liu Jun from all directions like a tide. The air was filled with a rotten smell that was disgusting.

The fact that the Corpse Sect was almost wiped out has always been the deepest pain and taboo in Shi Yu'er's heart. In that catastrophe, the Corpse Sect was almost wiped out. Shi Yu'er escaped by chance, but witnessed the tragic death of his fellow disciples. That memory haunted him like a nightmare. Whenever someone mentioned it, the anger in his heart would instantly ignite and could not be contained.

Liu Jun still stood there, without any fear on his face. He just patted his sleeves lightly, as if brushing off dust, and then sneered: "You think you can hurt me with these zombies?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared like a ghost. When he appeared again, he was standing behind the corpse fish.

Shi Yu'er's pupils shrank, and he was horrified. He didn't expect Liu Jun to be so fast, and he broke through the encirclement of the corpses almost instantly. He turned around suddenly, and there was a black dagger in his hand. The dagger was shining with a faint cold light, and it was obviously coated with poison.

"Do you think you can escape?" Shi Yu'er said gritting his teeth, and the dagger pierced Liu Jun's throat.

Liu Jun was not in a hurry. He raised his right hand and clamped the blade of the dagger with two fingers. His fingers were covered with scales, as firm as iron clamps. No matter how hard the corpse fish tried, the dagger could not move forward.

"Escape? I'm not planning on escaping." Liu Jun smiled faintly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "I just want to see what else you can do."

Shi Yu'er was startled, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He realized that he might have underestimated the strength of the man in front of him. However, he was unwilling to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and quickly took out a black talisman from his arms with his left hand. The talisman was engraved with strange runes.

"Go to hell!" Corpse Fish roared and slammed the talisman hard onto Liu Jun's chest.

A flash of surprise flashed across Liu Jun's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He loosened his fingers holding the dagger and quickly retreated to avoid the attack of the talisman. The talisman exploded in the air, turning into a cloud of black smoke. A shrill wailing sound could be heard faintly in the smoke, as if countless wronged souls were struggling in it.

"Interesting." Liu Jun narrowed his eyes, with a hint of appreciation in his tone, "I didn't expect you to have such a method."

Shi Yu'er did not respond, his face became even paler, it was obvious that the spell just now consumed a lot of his energy. He was panting, but his eyes were still full of resentment and anger.

"However, this alone is far from enough." Liu Jun shook his head, with a hint of pity in his tone, "The Corpse Sect has already fallen. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change this fact."

Shi Yu'er's body trembled slightly, and the anger in his eyes almost swallowed him whole. He raised his head suddenly, and his voice was hoarse and full of hatred: "Shut up! The Corpse Sect will not perish! I will definitely revive the Corpse Sect and make everyone pay the price!"

Liu Jun sighed, a complex look flashed in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, and a ball of golden light condensed in his palm. The light contained powerful energy, as if it could destroy everything.

"In that case, I'll give you a ride." Liu Jun said calmly, and then waved his hand, and the golden light pierced the corpse fish's chest like a sharp sword. The corpse fish's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and despair. He wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't move at all, as if he was bound by an invisible force. He could only watch the golden light getting closer and closer, as if it would pierce his chest in the next second.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared in front of everyone like a ghost, so fast that people had almost no time to react.

The black shadow flashed and stood firmly in front of the golden light, like an insurmountable mountain, cutting off the sharp golden light.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the black shadow was wearing a gray robe with sleeves fluttering in the wind, revealing an otherworldly temperament.

He wore an ancient Taoist hat on his head, inlaid with a crystal clear gem, which shone faintly in the sun. His face was obscured by the shadow of his robe, and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but his deep eyes were as bright as stars, revealing an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Seeing this, Liu Jun frowned slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He was about to attack the corpse fish, but at this moment he had to stop and focus his eyes on the gray-robed man who suddenly appeared. Liu Jun thought to himself: "This person has bad intentions. He can easily block my golden light. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

In a moment, Liu Jun had made a decision. He no longer paid attention to the corpse fish, and in a flash, he rushed directly towards the gray-robed man. His movements were as fast as lightning, and his dragon claws drew a sharp cold light, going straight for the gray-robed man's throat.

The gray-robed man seemed to have anticipated this, and he slightly turned his body to easily avoid Liu Jun's attack. He did not fight back, but just put his hands behind his back, and walked lightly, moving through Liu Jun's attack like flowing water. Liu Jun's attack became more and more fierce, but the gray-robed man remained calm, as if he was playing with a moth flying into a flame.

The battle between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot stage. Liu Jun's claws were extremely sharp, and each claw carried the force of thunder and lightning, but the gray-robed man always focused on defense and never took the initiative to attack. His body movements were like a ghost, sometimes like a breeze blowing on the face, sometimes like water flowing around rocks, and he resolved Liu Jun's attacks one by one.

"Stop, no more fighting!" Liu Jun panted, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly. He fought for a long time and found that he couldn't defeat the opponent no matter what. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but reason told him that if he continued to fight, he would only bring humiliation to himself, so he stopped decisively.

"Oh? Did you find you can't win?" The man in gray robe stood in place, still calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face, as if the battle just now was just a warm-up for him.

Liu Jun rolled his eyes, secretly cursing the old man for his pretense, but he said without showing any weakness: "You are a master in the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, and you come to bully a junior like me? Isn't that too rude? How about I call the two seniors Wu Rendi and Su Wen'er over to fight with you?"

When the gray-robed man heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly. Although he was quite powerful and had reached the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, he was only slightly better than the deputy hall masters of the Heavenly Lord Hall. If he really faced the two strong men, Wu Rendi and Su Wen'er, he might not even last half an incense stick of time, let alone escape unscathed. Thinking of this, the gray-robed man felt weak in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on his face.

"Hey, I was just joking with you. What did you ask them to do?" The man in gray robe laughed dryly, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

"This joke is not funny." Liu Jun snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes. Although he was not as strong as the other party, he had two big men backing him up, so he was confident.

Seeing this, the gray-robed man secretly thanked himself for not going too far, otherwise he would have really angered Liu Jun, and the consequences would have been disastrous. He then coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Young man, don't be so angry. I came here this time to discuss something."

Liu Jun raised his eyebrows, and became alert in his heart: "Is there something you want to discuss? You are a master of the half-step God King realm, what do you want to discuss with a junior like me?"

The gray-robed man sighed, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "This Corpse Sect's Corpse Fish has some connection with me. Can you give me some face and let him go?"

"We are not familiar with each other." Liu Jun refused without hesitation, his tone cold and firm. Although he knew in his heart that he might not be the opponent of the gray-robed man, he did not intend to give in easily. What's more, Xu Baoer had not yet joined the battle. With Xu Baoer, even if he could not defeat the gray-robed man, at least he would be able to save his life. Moreover, Liu Jun had a vague feeling that Wu Rendi was likely nearby. If the gray-robed man really wanted to kill him, Wu Rendi would never sit idly by.

Seeing Liu Jun's firm attitude, the gray-robed man's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing his displeasure. He took a deep breath and softened his tone a little: "If there is a benefit, don't rush to refuse."

"What benefits?" Liu Jun raised his eyebrows, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. Although he didn't intend to let the corpse fish go easily, if the gray-robed man could really offer him conditions that moved him, it was not impossible to negotiate.

The gray-robed man smiled and took out an ancient jade pendant from his sleeve. The jade pendant was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint light. He gently threw the jade pendant to Liu Jun and said, "This is a 'revelation jade', which contains a long-lost alchemy secret. As long as you let Shi Yuer go, this jade pendant will be yours."

Liu Jun took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and thought to himself. He had heard of the name of Tianqi Jade, and it was said that it contained many ancient alchemy methods. If this jade pendant was real, it would be a great temptation.

However, Liu Jun did not agree immediately. He looked up at the gray-robed man, his tone still cautious: "How do I know whether this jade pendant is real or fake? Besides, Shi Yu'er is already my enemy. If I let him go, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain?"
