The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 76 Soul Killing

The little ghost cheered "mission" and disappeared on the spot.

Li Zhen slowly climbed out of the coffin.

After the body recovered slightly, it was no longer as stiff as before.

However, using this evil magic can only enhance the vitality of his body in a special way, and cannot completely solve the process of his body turning into a corpse, because the "corpse curse" has not been completely lifted.

Since he cannot kill himself, the only way to lift the "corpse descent" is to find the true form of the bat-faced evil demon and completely kill it, or find a way to completely cut off his connection with the bat-faced evil demon.

This is something Li Zhen cannot do.

Look at the body next to the coffin.

Although the skin of these corpses was originally a little pale due to excessive blood loss, it had now turned a dark brown and the luster on the skin had completely disappeared, as if they had been exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Naimi's evil magic is indeed terrifying...

There was a commotion outside and someone shouted "ghost" in fear.

Not long after, the door was pushed open and a stiff middle-aged man was dragged in by the little ghost.

The man was holding a knife that was flashing with cold light.

Li Zhen looked at the man and asked, "Are you Mr. Miao's man?"

The man found that he could move, and said tremblingly: "Yes... yes... I am Master Miao's man..."

After looking at the little ghost that made his hair stand on end and the corpse beside the coffin, he could tell that this man had a strong mental state if he didn't faint from fright.

Old Master Miao was good friends with a wizard and often invited the wizard to perform rituals at the Miao family.

As Old Master Miao's thugs, these people had naturally seen the wizard and knew how terrifying a master with magical powers could be.

So this person had no intention of resisting at all.

Li Zhen continued to ask, "Why did that old man Miao ask you to come here?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied, "The housekeeper of Old Master Miao's house was killed. Old Master Miao was very angry and beat up many people in one night..."

"Just after I fell asleep, the Miao family started being haunted again. A... a vampire zombie broke into the Miao family. It was terrifying... It tore several people alive..."

Li Zhen was surprised and asked, "That vampire zombie is so scary, but it didn't kill all of you?"

The middle-aged man's throat rolled over: "When it heard the rooster crow, it automatically retreated."

"Where did you retreat to?"

"Looking at the footprints in the big lake next to the Miao family... he went there. Old Master Miao used to row a boat there..."

"Why did Old Master Miao ask you to come to the charity cemetery?"

"After seeing the vampire zombie, Old Master Miao was very scared. After the zombie left, he asked us to go to the charity cemetery to check the situation. If those corpse-driving Taoist priests from other places are still there, we will capture them and bring them back to the Miao family."

Li Zhen suddenly turned over and lay back in the coffin.

The middle-aged man didn't know what Li Zhen was going to do, but he felt something weird that made him feel cold.

A person who looks like a ghost, who can not only drive away ghosts, but also rest in a coffin, is simply the most bizarre thing for ordinary people.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly felt the wind blowing from his side. When he turned his head, he did not see the person he thought should be there, but only saw the little ghost looking at him in horror.

No, I was looking at his side.

The knife he was holding suddenly slipped out of his hand and slashed towards his neck.

Blood splattered, and the middle-aged man's neck was almost cut in half. He lost his life in the blink of an eye.

The little ghost became even more frightened and quietly took two steps back.

Li Zhen, who was in the state of Yuan Shen, looked at the little ghost.

The little ghost quickly said, "I'm not tasty! Don't eat me!"

Li Zhen ignored it.

Throwing down the knife in his hand, he once again observed the charity cemetery and himself in it from a unique perspective.

It feels so good to be free from restraints...

Since he became ill, he had never felt the freedom and unfettered freedom he felt now. This was the first time Li Zhen had actively experienced an out-of-body experience.

After feeling it, he found that the connection between his soul and body was stronger than before.

That means his previous guess was correct.

So if more people were to perform that kind of evil magic, to what extent could his body be restored?
"Take care of me." Li Zhen instructed the little ghost, then pushed the door and walked into the courtyard of the charity cemetery.

His body is now almost the same as a ghost. He can affect physical objects and pass through them directly when necessary. Ordinary things cannot hurt him at all.

Not only that, in his spiritual state, he could intuitively see the resentment in others without even relying on the red-eyed bat's perception.

For example, the man just now was full of dark resentment, and I don’t know how many evil things he had done.

Li Zhen had never felt so powerful.

He had a feeling that once he became more proficient in controlling his soul, his soul would appear at the place where he wanted to go.

……

Old Master Miao, who had a fierce look and could stop children from crying at night in Maxiangping, was sitting alone in the hall.

He was always strong, but at this moment he couldn't hide the uneasiness on his face.

Ever since he became the head of the Miao family, all the big and small things happening in Ma Xiangping were under his control, and everyone thought he was the local emperor of Ma Xiangping.

He would not give face to anyone except the governor.

If he took a fancy to a girl from a certain family, that family would have to respectfully send their daughter to him as a concubine, even if the daughter was actually the same age as his granddaughter.

Whoever's land he took a fancy to would offer it to him, even if that land was the one on which another family depended for their survival.

Anyone who disobeyed him died.

Just like that singer couple, what if he killed everyone?
Even though the person was dead, he didn't want to let the woman go, so he kept the woman's body.

But what was happening now was completely out of his control.

First, the housekeeper was found dead in the room where the woman's body was hidden. His death was extremely tragic and suspected to be caused by inhuman means.

Later, a vampire zombie broke in and almost tore him alive.

What's even more bizarre is that he saw with his own eyes the bandages wrapped around the vampire zombie.

In other words, he sent the corpse to the corpse-driving Taoist last night, and as a result, the corpse turned into a terrible vampire zombie tonight and came to take his life.

Any normal person would think that this is probably related to the two corpse-driving Taoist priests.

The two men were originally unwilling to help him take the body out, but they agreed to help him take the body out only for the sake of money and not daring to offend him.

If he is dissatisfied afterwards, or becomes more greedy and wants to obtain more treasure, he will most likely use the corpse to scare him.

Those Taoist corpse-driving masters are mysterious, maybe they have this ability.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Old Master Miao put down the teacup in his hand and shouted outside, "Someone come here."

A middle-aged man with long hair and a short coat pushed open the door and walked in.

"What are your instructions, Master?"

"The people who went to the charity cemetery haven't returned yet?"

"They should be back soon. It's not far from here. I'll send someone to check it out."

"Send someone there immediately. If you have any news, let me know immediately. Has the person who went to ask for the magician not returned yet?"

"It's a bit far over there, and it's night time, so the road is difficult to walk. We might not be back until daybreak."

"It's too slow. Send someone over here to hurry it up."

"I'll go right away."

The middle-aged man hunched over and retreated out the door.

Suddenly, the man seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and fell back into the house.

After landing, he knocked over tables and chairs, struggled in pain for a few times, and was obviously dead.
