Oh no! I've been reincarnated as a corpse!

While Lu You was still confused, the rat demon and Nangong Yi had already exchanged dozens of rounds of ping-pong.

Nangong Yi is a martial arts master who specializes in tempering his physical body and refining his qi and blood, making him extremely fierce in close combat.

Although the rat demon has mixed bloodlines, as a demon, its physical strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and close combat is also its forte.

The human and the demon were evenly matched, their battle going back and forth.

Every punch that landed, every claw that swung, was filled with immense power.

Each head-on collision produced a dull, booming sound that seemed to echo in the air, like someone beating a drum in your ear.

Soon, both the human and the demon were injured.

Nangong Yi's clothes were torn into strips, and his bronze skin was covered with claw marks and blood, making him look like he had just crawled out of a cage of wild beasts.

The rat demon's left arm hung limply, its bones broken into several pieces, swaying back and forth like a soggy fried dough stick.

Both the human and the demon had bloodshot eyes and were filled with murderous intent. They were clearly engrossed in the fight, and their eyes even said, "Today, it's either you die or I live."

Just then, Nangong Yi suddenly stumbled.

His expression changed drastically, and in a moment of haste, he threw a punch, the phantom tiger roaring as it forced the rat demon back.

He then took several steps back and looked down—the edges of the wound were faintly black, and wisps of gray aura were seeping out.

"poisonous?!"

His face darkened, and he quickly took out a pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

Detoxifying pills.

As a martial arts master who had lived a life of constant danger, Nangong Yi was no stranger to such scenes, and antidote pills were one of the essential medicines he always carried with him.

The problem is that the detoxifying pills need to be slowly catalyzed by the body's Qi and blood to gradually remove the toxins from the body.

He is currently engaged in a fierce battle and can only barely suppress the poison; he has no time to completely eliminate it.

Once the battle continues, the effects of the detoxifying pill will be largely washed away by the blood and qi, making it extremely difficult to suppress the toxins at that point.

The rat demon squeaked a few times, glanced at its ruined left arm, and said smugly, "Human brat, you're quite strong indeed, actually making your rat grandpa suffer such a big loss! But... your rat grandpa's plague is no joke!"

As a minor demon of the first realm, its magic was indeed lacking, even embarrassing.

However, being a rat demon, it was born with the ability to condense plague toxins.

In battle, this thing can catch your opponent off guard and strike without them even realizing it.

This is its biggest trump card, and the reason it has been able to crawl back from the brink of death countless times.

Otherwise, with its small, mixed-blood body, it would have been eaten by other monsters long ago.

Nangong Yi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his expression kept changing.

He then let out a low growl, his eyes turning completely cold: "You beast, you forced me to this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a talisman from his pocket.

On the talisman was engraved a cyan longsword, surrounded by intricate and complex runes, with a faint flow of sword intent. Just one glance at it felt like something had pierced your eyes.

The rat demon's fur stood on end, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; its entire body was tense and extremely alert.

"A talisman?!"

As a demon race, it has a much more acute sense of danger than humans.

The moment it saw the talisman, its heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from the tip of its tail straight to the top of its head.

This talisman is strange!

Something's very wrong!

It instinctively took a few steps back, its legs feeling weak.

Nangong Yi's expression twisted into a ferocious grin as he sneered, "You beast, this is a demon-slaying talisman issued by the Demon Suppression Division. To die by this talisman is a stroke of good fortune for you, you wretched creature. Go!"

His blood surged, and he suddenly activated the talisman.

The blue light suddenly intensified.

A sharp sword aura shot into the sky, filling the air with a feeling of being sliced ​​open.

Even from ten meters away, the rat demon felt a sharp pain in its skin from the sword intent, as if someone were poking it with needles.

Without a second thought, it turned and galloped wildly toward Lu You in the distance.

That speed was three points faster than when they were fighting earlier.

"Friend! Help!! Help me!!"

Lu You was originally engrossed in watching it.

To be honest, although these two were a little slower and weaker than him, Lu You discovered that they had something he currently lacked the most.

Combat experience.

In his past life, he couldn't even fight, let alone argue; he could only review the situation afterward.

Needless to say, both times he made a move, he relied on the gloomy and mysterious nature of the underworld to sneak up and launch a righteous sneak attack.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, without involving any fighting techniques.

Therefore, the actual combat exchange between these two was practically a free tutorial video for Lu You.

Although the Taiyin Huishuo Sha is good, it consumes too much Yin energy.

If he encounters an opponent of similar strength in the future, and the opponent has mastered the combat techniques, he won't need to resort to sneak attacks anymore.

In short, learning some proper combat skills to protect yourself is definitely a good idea.

He was engrossed in watching when, unexpectedly, Nangong Yi took out a talisman.

Lu You sensed the sword energy above him, and he was somewhat surprised.

This thing looks pretty impressive.

It feels even stronger than the talisman that the guy surnamed Qin took out before.

He was evaluating the strength of the talisman when the rat demon suddenly ran towards him.

Lu You was dumbfounded.

You fucking...

We'll just sit here quietly and watch the show; you guys go ahead and fight!

You can't beat them, so you need me to save your life?

Besides, you rat demon are so ugly, howling like a ghost as you rush over, what am I supposed to do with save you!

Lu You cursed inwardly, but her mouth was also busy.

"Get lost! We agreed on a one-on-one fight, why are you bothering me?! Get lost!"

When the rat demon saw that Lu You not only didn't come forward, but instead took two steps back, its heart sank.

It cried out at the top of its lungs, "Friend, how can you stand by and watch me die?! Save me! My master will surely reward you handsomely! Spirit stones, elixirs, demon beast flesh and blood, anything is fine!"

When Lu You saw that the rat demon was shamelessly persistent, his face darkened.

He could see that the talisman in Nangong Yi's hand had been fully activated, and a cyan sword light was floating out of the talisman, like a sword tip growing out of the paper.

Even before the sword light had fully taken shape, the air was already filled with a chillingly sharp aura.

Lu You's heart tightened.

The rat demon is so close to him. When the sword light shoots over, won't it just skewer him into a kebab too?

He didn't want to be the second one, the one who had to take on two others.

Lu You immediately stopped retreating, his eyes flashing with a sharp look.

He turned around, raised his leg, and kicked out.

The entire movement was executed in one smooth motion, so fast that it was like a blur.

"Get lost!"

The rat demon never expected Lu You to suddenly turn around and attack it.

Even more unexpectedly, the zombie was incredibly fast.

The kick landed squarely on its abdomen, and the rat demon felt as if its stomach had been rammed by a wild bull. The intense pain exploded instantly, almost causing it to lose consciousness on the spot.

By the time it came to its senses, its body was already tracing an ungraceful parabola in mid-air, flying backwards towards Nangong Yi.

It saw a streak of cyan sword light flash across its field of vision.

Then I got a headache.

Before its consciousness completely faded into darkness, it only managed to utter one last curse: "You motherfucking zombie, you have no sportsmanship, sneaking up on your grandpa Rat..."

Lu You watched as the azure sword light pierced through the rat demon's head, then shot into the mud not far away, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and the soil was still emitting bluish smoke.

Lu You felt a chill run down her spine.

The power of this sword energy is truly formidable.

If he hadn't decisively kicked that rat demon, he might have been pierced through twice by that sword energy.

Given his small, undead body, he'll be severely injured even if he doesn't die.

In the distance, Nangong Yi's expression did not relax after killing the rat demon; on the contrary, it became even more solemn.

He was filled with disappointment.

He could have activated the talisman much earlier and killed the rat demon directly.

But the moment he saw the rat demon run towards the living corpse, he suppressed his impulse.

His idea was simple: once these two prodigies got together, he would simply pack up a talisman and take them away, killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, the zombie saw right through him.

Sure enough, this zombie is incredibly cunning and treacherous!

He deliberately let the rat demon lead the charge, probably from the very beginning to deplete his own strength and force out his trump card.

Now that he had used all his talismans and revealed all his trump cards, the living corpse remained completely unharmed.

Next, it was his turn to close the net.

hateful!

How could a mere zombie from a single realm possess such profound thoughts?!

A low-level corpse cultivator should have intelligence roughly the same as an ordinary minor demon.

But these living corpses...

Nangong Yi recalled the kick that the zombie had just delivered.

Its speed and power were even greater than those of the rat demon.

Despite possessing such strength, he has always remained patient and restrained, even managing to suppress the most primal bloodlust of the undead, quietly standing aside and watching the show.

These zombies are terrifying!

A deep sense of despair welled up in Nangong Yi's heart.

I'm afraid I can't escape this fate today.

He didn't think the zombie would let him go.

A martial arts master with abundant qi and blood is a delicious feast in the eyes of a corpse cultivator!

Seeing Nangong Yi's ever-changing expression, sometimes gritting his teeth and sometimes looking tragic, Lu You felt somewhat puzzled.

What is this person thinking?

Why are your expressions changing like a revolving lantern?
