Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 142 Greedy Beast
Dusi Office, inside the morgue
Under the light, dozens of soldiers and coroners were wielding knives and axes, deftly cutting the flesh and skinning the strange beasts that had been killed at the previous ritual for later use.

The weather in Jiaozhi in July was hot, and if ordinary skin and flesh were not treated in time, it would soon become unrecognizable and unusable. So even though it was late at night, the soldiers were not allowed to rest and had to work hard.

"Old Cow, are the heads of those monsters all tanned?"

The burly, short-bearded soldier raised the sharp knife in his hand, and a beautiful clouded leopard fur was separated from the dark red flesh.

Hearing the question, the soldier threw the leather away and replied in a muffled voice.

"It's been done a long time ago, and it's drying under the eaves now."

After receiving the feedback, the thin and dark old man nodded, put down the half-sawn elephant skin in his hand, stood up and walked out the door with a pile of wooden boxes in his hands.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The old man took off several shriveled monster heads and put them into a box, making low clashing sounds.

A flash of yellow light flashed, and the dark and thin old man fell to the ground. Ma Qi appeared quietly and waved his sleeves, and several wooden boxes were put into his pocket.

Stepping into the room, the old eunuch looked at the blood-stained floor and the crooked body of the soldier coroner who was bewitched by the Pixiu's aura, his eyes full of disdain.

They couldn't even block half of his Pi Xiu magic. They are such trash.

Covering his nose, he passed by the remains of many strange beasts. Within five breaths, Ma Qi found the body of Li Li, whose body was covered with black patterns, and the body of Li Zhu, whose abdomen had been ripped open.

With a light touch of his palm and the surge of strength, Li Li's corpse, which was already charred after being struck by lightning, was now shattered into pieces by the impact of the qi and blood, and could not rest in peace.

After secretly attacking both corpses, Ma Qi, who had his own plan in mind, put them into the Pi Xiu treasure bowl.

"Be good, baby. If you bear with it for a while, you will have a big meal soon."

After calming the Pi Xiu basin on his chest, the old eunuch flashed away and left the morgue filled with thick blood.

"Here are the things, but where is the gold?"

The hidden corpse looked at the miniature mummy in the Pi Xiu basin and Li Li's head in the wooden box, and after confirming that they were correct, he sneered.

"Sir, it is not convenient to trade in the city. Please follow me."

The hidden corpse's body gradually became transparent, and with a few leaps it flew dozens of meters away, creating a gust of black wind under the moon.

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, revealing a fleeting cruelty. With a tap of his toes, his figure followed the hidden corpse like a venomous snake.

One man and one corpse, they climbed over the city wall, crossed mountains and forests, crossed rivers and streams, and silently hurried on their way in the night.

Half an hour later, the two arrived outside the cave where Li Zhi and the other man were hiding.

"Old Four, there's an old eunuch outside, tell your beasts to be on guard."

White mist returned to the still warm body. Li Zhi opened his eyes and while calling upon Yaksha, he whispered instructions to Li Cai.

"Understood, second brother."

After drinking the medicinal soup for two days, Li Cai, whose upper body was barely able to move a little, whistled, and the remaining beasts in the forest followed Li Zhi out.

The long night never changes, and the thick clouds under the moon are filled with humid water vapor.

"Sir, this pearl is worth a thousand gold coins. Here are ten of them. I wonder if you can return my brother's body to me?"

Ma Qi looked at Li Zhi who was surrounded by many evil beasts, with no expression on his face.

"Brother? We have never seen you before in Blue Mountain."

Bang!
The mummy and two wooden boxes fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. The half-black, half-white flying yaksha also came to Ma Qi holding ten precious beads, showing his sincerity.

The old eunuch gathered his sleeves, coughed lightly, and without waiting for Li Zhi to reply, he stretched out his hand.

"Then our family will accept this generous gift!"

Call ~
With a wave of his big hand, the orb disappeared, and the fist wrapped in strong yellow light hit Yaksha's face in an instant.

The old eunuch took the money on the surface but attacked secretly. His timing of this punch was very good.

The Pixiu's precious light collided with the Taiyin corpse qi, and the Flying Yaksha's head tilted. Its two corpse claws did not retreat but advanced, and suddenly it slashed towards Ma Qi, wanting to rip him open.

Li Zhi, who had already put away the corpse, was also muttering something, with a dark aura all over his body. Three faint phosphorous flames appeared out of nowhere, burning towards the old eunuch who was fighting with the Yaksha with strange coldness and amazing heat.

"Humph!"

Ma Qi snorted coldly, the precious light in his hand was mixed with half blood, the sharp teeth of the greedy beast appeared on his heavy fist, and the air was hit with a sonic boom!
Greedy!

The white-haired Yaksha with a deeply sunken chest flew backwards, smashing many thick-skinned and tough beasts in the forest along the way!
Green flames hissed above the greedy beast's aura, and an eagle's cry that was powerful enough to shatter gold and split stone reached Ma Qi's ears, causing the old eunuch to pause.

good chance!
A faint light flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and three black coffins appeared out of thin air, and three hairy zombies strode out.

There were limbs scattered all over the ground, blood raining down, and the leaden clouds in the sky were torn apart, allowing the moonlight to shine briefly.

The remaining beasts that were able to fight against ordinary weather were now like rotten wood and gravel, and were easily dispersed by the ferocious Qilin wrapped in the Pixiu's precious light. They had none of the arrogance they had during the Three Judicial Council.

The Flying Yaksha turned back and led three hairy zombies. Grey, white and black lights intertwined above their heads. As soon as eight black talismans formed by Yin energy appeared, Li Zhi threw them into the leading Flying Yaksha.

"go with!"

The body of the Flying Yaksha suddenly swelled up, and the gray-black light around it surged. The white hair on its body expanded and intertwined, forming a piece of ancient armor with simple patterns.

"How dare you show off your mere tricks in front of an expert?"

The old eunuch roared, and a ferocious and greedy beast resembling a Qilin emerged, condensing into substance. The rich blood and energy wrapped in the light of the Pixiu swung out countless fist shadows!

Evil swallow!

The scales of the greedy beast on Ma Qi's arms were as bright as gold, and the shadow of his fist was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, with water pouring out.

Facing the raging waves, the Flying Yaksha remained unmoved. The moonlight in the sky shone through the thick dark clouds and spread over the gray-white ancient armor, and its two wings shook violently.

The Flying Yaksha, weighing more than a thousand pounds, dodged the fist shadow as if it were a fleeting shot, and delivered a heavy kick in Ma Qi's incredulous eyes.

boom!
The solid bodies collided with each other, and the ferocious beast with gilded scales on its body let out a wail, and its solid body under the Pixiu's precious light became a little more illusory.

"Master Military Supervisor, it's not too late to stop now."

Looking at the Taoist corpse-controller who was calm and composed without any panic, the old eunuch raised his eyelids with a fierce look in his eyes.

"dream!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong light exploded, causing Li Zhi to squint his eyes.

The wealth transformed from the ten precious beads was frantically sucked out of the Pixiu basin, and a ferocious and greedy beast resembling a Qilin suddenly jumped out.

The greedy beast waved its claws, the Yaksha flapped its wings, the Fiery Beast and the Corpse Evil bit each other, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.

The old eunuch stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and a figure appeared in front of Li Zhi like a ghost.

The negative energy exploded, but the old eunuch's heavy punch seemed to hit nothing, without any response at all.

Not good! Before Ma Qi could turn around, several evil winds whistled from behind his head, going straight for his vital points!
The old eunuch inhaled lightly, and used his muscles to the utmost, and the golden red light reappeared. After dodging the corpse's claws, Ma Qi used his hammer, knees and elbows, and with his body rising and falling, he broke the tendons and bones of a hairy zombie, destroying its fighting power.

"Ah~"

A faint sigh was heard, and a bright red polka-dot flower appeared in Li Zhi's hand. With a gentle blow, thousands of poisonous powders floated towards Ma Qi.

The old eunuch did not dare to be careless. He immediately contracted his pores, closed his mouth and nose, and the gilded patterns on the exposed parts of his hands, neck, etc. were faintly visible, and it was obvious that he had used all his strength.

Even so, Ma Qi still felt his limbs gradually becoming sore and his head becoming dizzy.

Seeing that Ma Qi had fallen into his trap, Li Zhi calmly took out a yellowish-brown sacrificial mask and put it on solemnly.

"rise!"

The yellow-brown translucent waves suddenly covered an area of ​​100 meters in radius, and the thick ground also rose and fell like waves in the sea along with Li Zhi's thoughts.

Stalagmites! Earth spikes! Mud!

A myriad of magical spells were cast, and looking at Ma Qi who was still struggling to hold on, Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

Just as Ma Qi was about to die under the claws of the corpse, a huge golden basin suddenly appeared under the old eunuch's feet. Ma Qi stepped on the bottom of the basin and moved his other foot lightly. In the blink of an eye, he moved sideways like a spinning top.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. But in a moment, Li Zhi pinched his fingers and blew a breath of gloomy wind and fire from the Nine Netherworld towards Ma Qi who was rushing towards him.

The wind was howling and the ghostly flames were threatening.

Within three breaths, the gray-green current completely enveloped Ma Qi.

The old eunuch raised the golden basin with his toes, burned all the remaining energy, clasped the Pi Xiu basin with his forearm, and split open a gap against the wind and flames, then punched out again with a heavy punch that flashed with flickering yellow light.

Pixiu attacks and bites greedily!
The flames and waves were instantly reversed, forcing the Taoist in gray to extinguish the wind and fire. Li Zhi jumped back, and a voodoo doll made of straw appeared out of thin air, dying in his place.

laugh! !

Looking at the old eunuch who was covered in green flames and crackling from time to time, Li Zhi waved his Taoist robe, and the huge totem pole fell to the ground with a bang, shocking Ma Qi who was rushing forward again back.

"Om Mara Zai Meng Soha!"

Buddhist mantras were muttered, strange hand seals were made, Li Zhi's expression was solemn, and his whole body exuded an incomparable evil holiness.

Countless streams of gray-white air gathered in the sky and were then swallowed up by the totem pole, condensing into a solemn image of a Buddha standing on a lotus, holding a celestial fan in his left hand and his right hand hanging down.

Seeing this situation, Ma Qi knew that Li Zhi had already used his killing move. He immediately called the greedy beast in the distance, wanting to fight to the death.

With a flap of its wings, Flying Yaksha arrived in time and joined forces with the remaining hairy zombies to hold Ma Qi and the Tan Beast down.

Li Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and there seemed to be a flame of anger rising behind his head.

The solemn Buddha image on the totem pole also changed drastically, turning into an angry image wearing red celestial clothes, with a face as red as the sunrise, a pagoda on the head, and three faces and eight arms.

Hehehehehe~
Li Zhi, who had two more illusory heads, laughed strangely. A red light flashed in his hand, and a three-foot-long, double-edged blood sickle with a huge barb appeared out of thin air, pointing at Ma Qi, who had merged with the greedy beast.

"Old eunuch, die!"

There was another strange laugh, and saliva flowed from the pig face with sharp mouth and fangs. The clothes on Li Zhi's right arm exploded, and he swung the blood sickle with his exaggeratedly huge muscles to chop at the gilded greedy beast.

The yellow light flickered unsteadily, and a powerful punch was thrown out at a high speed!
Pixiu attacks and swallows evilly!
The greedy beast opened its mouth and the Pixiu protected it. Relying on the rich blood like the deep sea, Ma Qi once again swung out countless fist shadows!
The greedy beast, formed by countless fist shadows, bit down with its sharp teeth, but it was as if it had encountered something extremely hard.

The fist shadow shattered, and the strange sickle blade split the greedy beast's big mouth into two like a hot knife through fat, and chopped Ma Qi away alive!
"Eat, eat, eat, eat!"

Listening to the pig-faced mumbling, Li Zhi looked a little painful. With trembling fingers, he took out a leaf, chewed it up and swallowed it.

Ma Qi, who was several feet away, saw Li Zhi's strange behavior and had already decided to retreat. He then planned to climb onto the beast and temporarily avoid the attack.

"Want to escape?"

The handsome boyish face on the right side of Li Zhi had a fierce look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not going to let the greedy old eunuch go easily.

The blood sickle disappeared, and was replaced by a bow and an arrow. Li Zhi (the boy) drew the bow with his left hand and shot the arrow with his right hand.

The bow is like the full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star.

Without aiming, the black gold arrow shot out like lightning and pierced through the old eunuch's heart, killing him instantly.

Thump~
Ma Qi was defeated, the greedy beast disappeared, and the forest returned to silence.

Hu~hu~hu~
Panting, Li Zhi used his remaining consciousness to take out another leaf, swallowed it reluctantly, bit the tip of his tongue, and managed to take the wild boar head and the boy's face back into his body by relying on the severe pain and instant clarity.

After a long time, Li Zhi, who was sweating profusely as if he had been fished out of the water, called on the Yaksha to pick up Ma Qi's body.

After a while, Li Zhi, who had recovered some of his magic power, carefully took back the totem pole with lingering fear.

Back in the cave, before Li Cai could ask any questions, Li Zhi spoke.

"The bodies of the eldest and third brothers have been found, and those who knew about the incident have been killed. We cannot stay here for long, we need to leave immediately."

"My little brother understands."

Li Cai glanced at the Yaksha carrying Ma Qi's body and said nothing more. Today is different from the past. It is difficult to find the bodies of martial artists at the fourth level of Taoism. Now it is great to be able to collect the corpses and enhance strength.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Zhi and Li Cai sat on the back of the wild elephant returning to Thanh Hoa, looking at each other in silence.

Dusi Office, inside the morgue
The burly soldier with a short beard woke up from his dream and shuddered when he smelled the blood in the air.

"Wake up, wake up everyone!"

Lao Niu woke up all the soldiers and went out to take a look.

My goodness, the skinny old man lying under the eaves was snoring in front of an old witch's head.

"Lao Bi, wake up!"

After waking up the thin and dark old man, Lao Niu went out and found the captain of the Cavalry Guard who was on duty at night.

"Captain Sha, after our inspection, we found that all the exotic beast treasures were intact."

"Oh? What does the thief want?"

Sha Ting carefully observed the clues while asking Lao Bi, who was in charge.

"Two bodies and five heads are missing, they are Li Li and Li Zhu."

"Wait, the bodies that were stolen were also theirs?"

Sha Ting seemed to have grasped some clue and hurriedly asked the thin and dark old man.

"Yes, Master. But we have already saltpetered the heads of these monsters, so they should not be used for evil purposes."

"This matter is of great importance. Please follow me and go with me to see the Deputy Envoy."

Sha Ting was also undecided, so he immediately decided to inform the chief officer tonight about the matter first.
