What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

"Corpse Gu... or rather, it's a quick-fix method."

I squinted at the monsters.

The guardian of the cauldron certainly had more methods than I had imagined.

Every guardian I've met seems to use a different method.

It seems that the people in this organization come from different backgrounds, which is probably why the Bureau of Folklore defines it as an "organization" rather than a sect.

With the addition of the Corpse Gu to the battlefield, the pressure on Lu Yan's side increased dramatically.

The gunfire became more rapid, even interspersed with the sounds of grenades exploding.

"Attention all units! Change to cinnabar rounds! Flamethrowers ready!"

Lu Yan's voice echoed through the rainy night through the loudspeaker.

Lu Yan is indeed reliable in crucial moments.

At this moment, she was using her most intense firepower to desperately draw the attention of the demon mask.

Now, it's my turn.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickened my pace and headed towards the bronze cauldron.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

I have reached the edge of the altar and successfully blended myself into the shadow of the stone pillar.

The masked actor was standing less than ten steps away from me.

At this moment, he was completely focused on controlling that menacing ghost face to defend against Lu Yan's attack, with his back to me.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered something surprising.

There was even a face on the back of that masked actor's head!

No, to be precise, it was a face tattoo on the back of his scalp.

The tattooed eyes were closed, but when the malevolent energy surged, those eyes seemed to open slightly, revealing an eerie green light.

"A two-faced person?"

A chill ran through me.

This is not just a tattoo; it's some kind of substitution ritual or soul-splitting technique.

If I were to attack his main body directly, I would likely be blocked by the back of his head.

I didn't rush to make a move, but instead quietly took out three silver needles from my pocket.

Controlling Qi!

Having grown over this period, I am now able to manage multiple targets with some effort.

Although the precision and power are far less than those for manipulating a single target, what I'm about to do doesn't require much precision either.

At this moment, the surroundings are filled with dense Yin energy, which is highly poisonous to ordinary people, but for me, who cultivates Yin energy, it is the best cover.

My spiritual energy was attached to the silver needles, and the three silver needles silently floated up, slowly swimming towards the bottom of the bronze cauldron under the cover of the rain.

That place is where the phosphorescent fire burns most intensely, and it is also where the vent of this cauldron is located.

If the air vent is sealed, the evil energy inside the cauldron will become uncontrollable.

At that time, I won't even need to lift a finger; the backlash alone will be enough to give this masked monster a hard time.

"Hold on! In just fifteen minutes, the treasure cauldron will be complete, and all these mortals will die!"

The masked actor was still shouting wildly.

He had no idea that three deadly needles had appeared beneath his feet.

"A quarter of an hour? You're not going to make it."

I replied coldly to myself.

He suddenly hooked his finger.

"go!"

The three silver needles instantly transformed into three streaks of silver light, piercing into three locations on the bottom of the bronze cauldron with lightning speed.

Those three directions also form the Three Powers Formation in Taoist formations.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The three crisp impacts were not noticeable on the noisy battlefield.

But the next second, something unexpected happened.

The pale green phosphorescent flames that were burning fiercely suddenly went out by half, as if they had been strangled.

Immediately afterwards, the bronze cauldron began to tremble violently.

Above the cauldron, the enormous, malevolent face began to disintegrate uncontrollably, turning into countless wisps of black smoke that frantically scattered in all directions.

"What's going on?!"

The masked actor was terrified.

He turned around abruptly, wanting to check on the condition of the cauldron.

At that very moment, the tattoo of a human face with closed eyes on the back of his head was pointing directly at the direction where I was hiding.

Those eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly snapped open, revealing a pair of jet-black pupils that stared intently at me!

It was discovered!

Now that we've been discovered, there's no need to hide anymore.

kill!

I will no longer suppress the power within me.

Forbidden Technique: Cloak of Evil, Activate!

Facing an expert of this caliber, I had no intention of testing the waters; I simply went all out.

boom!

A violent black aura erupted from my body in an instant, shaking all the surrounding rainwater into white mist.

I shot forward like an arrow, the willow-leaf blade in my hand drawing a black arc, aiming straight for the back of Ghost Face's neck!

The masked actor clearly hadn't expected that such a formidable figure was lurking behind him.

The moment he turned around, he instinctively wanted to back away.

However, he was manipulating the formation, and under the influence of the energy, his movements were a beat slower.

"Where did this rat come from!"

He let out a sharp shriek and slammed his folding fan backward to block the attack.

That folding fan was clearly custom-made, with all the fan ribs made of fine steel and edges as sharp as knives.

"Clang!"

The scalpel and the folding fan collided violently.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The immense recoil made my hands go numb, but my movements didn't falter at all.

Because my killer move is never just a knife.

In the instant the blades and fan clashed, I suddenly thrust out my left hand, my five fingers forming a claw.

Thick liquid malevolent energy swirled around his fingertips as he aimed directly at the masked face of the man!

"Get down here!"

"You're asking for death!" the masked actor shouted sharply.

He was clearly flustered when I reached for his face with my left hand.

For those who practice evil arts, their physical bodies often conceal great secrets and weaknesses, especially their masked faces, which may hold some unspeakable secrets.

He suddenly slammed the folding fan shut in his hand, aiming it at my palm like a short stick, while simultaneously folding his body backward in an extremely strange manner, trying to create distance.

"when!"

The sound of metal clashing together rang out.

My palms went numb from the shock, and an extremely cold internal force emanated from the folding fan, trying to penetrate my body along my meridians.

Normally, this would have been enough to cripple my left hand.

But right now, I'm in a state of being afflicted by evil spirits.

The moment that chilling internal energy entered my body, it was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, instantly swallowed up by the boiling malevolent energy within me.

Using the recoil from the attack, Ghost Face retreated five meters and landed steadily on the other side of the bronze cauldron.

He covered his mask with one hand, and his exposed eyes were filled with resentment and fear.

And that's exactly the reaction I wanted.

"break!"

I gave a low shout and suddenly clenched my right hand in the air.

Controlling Qi!

The three silver needles that I had previously driven into the bottom of the bronze cauldron instantly unleashed a sharp shockwave as my malevolent energy exploded.

At the same time, I sprang up again, gripping the reforged willow-leaf blade tightly with both hands, and poured all the murderous energy in my body into the blade.

Then, it came crashing down on his head!

This strike brings together my current peak power.

The malevolent energy condenses into liquid, amplifying its power, further enhanced by the internal force of the silver needles.

"Smash it!!"
