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

"Snapped!"

Blood Maiden's long whip, like a venomous snake lurking in wait, lashed towards my face.

I turned my head to avoid it, the tip of the whip grazing my ear and leaving a deep white mark on the tree trunk behind me, sending wood chips flying.

"What a ruthless woman."

While I was giving my opinion, my hands moved with lightning speed.

The ink line in his left hand suddenly shot out, drawing a straight black line that precisely wrapped around the whip that had not yet been retracted.

"Come here!"

I gave a low shout and pulled hard with my wrist.

Blood Maiden clearly hadn't expected that my seemingly ordinary ink line would be as tough as steel wire. Caught off guard, she was pulled and stumbled towards me.

"court death!"

Seeing this, the demon monkey on the flank let out a strange cry, curled up into a ball like a rolling hedgehog, and thrust its two poisoned daggers straight at my lower body.

At the same time, the black tiger in front roared and swung its thick-backed Miao knife down with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Above were heavy blades, below were poisonous thorns, and in front were long whips that entangled him.

This is a situation where certain death is inevitable.

But I didn't panic. Corpse stitchers deal with corpses all year round, and their specialty is finding a glimmer of hope in a small space.

I loosened the ink line and fell backward. Just as my back was about to hit the ground, I kicked my right foot into the air and struck Black Tiger's wrist.

"when!"

The Miao knife veered a few inches off course, grazing the tip of my nose as it slashed into the soil, kicking up a cloud of mud.

Using the recoil from that kick, I slid along the ground, narrowly avoiding the monkey's dagger. With a swift motion, I swung my willow-leaf knife upwards, tearing a deep, bone-revealing gash in his thigh.

"ah--!"

The monkey screamed and rolled to the side, clutching its leg.

I took the opportunity to roll over and get up, panting heavily. Sweat mixed with muddy water flowed into my eyes, stinging them terribly.

"Li Qing! How long are we going to have to wait?!"

I shouted loudly in the direction of the grave.

Logically speaking, that little bit of time was enough for this kid to draw a Heavenly Thunder Talisman. If another lightning bolt were to strike, these three guys would be lucky to escape with their lives.

However, all I received in response was deathly silence.

My heart skipped a beat, and I turned around abruptly.

Li Qing was kneeling on the ground, his hands gripping the ground tightly, his whole body trembling violently.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was muttering to himself.

On the cliff not far from him—the highest point of the "Broken Dragon Ridge" that was struck by lightning—a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It was an old man dressed in a gray cloth robe, holding a dark gold compass in one hand and with the other hand behind his back, looking down at Li Qing.

Feng Shui Master!

Since Li Qing and I arrived at Huilongzhai, we have seen his work everywhere, but we have never seen him.

And sure enough, it's here!

"Feng Shui battle...remote suppression of evil spirits?!"

The vocabulary that Li Qing had mentioned to me during our casual conversation in the car flashed through my mind.

This old guy actually severed Li Qing's connection with the earth's veins all by himself, and even suppressed him in the opposite direction!

This person's feng shui skills could even be described as those of a grandmaster!

It seems your friend is in trouble.

In the instant I was distracted, a sweet, cloying fragrance suddenly wafted into my nostrils.

not good!

The hairs on my body stood on end instantly, and I instinctively swung my knife backward.

"Ding!"

The willow-leaf dagger struck a jade flute of emerald green.

The Miao woman had somehow sneaked up behind me like a ghost. She blocked my knife with one hand, and her eyes, which were exposed outside the mask, were full of mocking laughter.

"You dare to get distracted while fighting me? You're such a disobedient brat."

With a flick of her wrist, a tremendous, subtle force surged forth, directly knocking the willow-leaf knife from my hand.

Immediately afterwards, her other hand shot out like lightning, its five fingers forming a claw, aimed straight for my throat.

The fingernails had an eerie purplish-black color, clearly indicating they were coated with a potent poison.

I leaned back with all my might, barely avoiding my throat, but then I felt a chill on my shoulder.

"Sizzle—"

My clothes, along with my flesh, were ripped off in large chunks, and blood instantly stained half of my body.

The excruciating pain made my vision go black, and I stumbled, almost falling.

"Big brother! Third sister! Let's attack together! Chop him up!"

The ghost monkey, having recovered, screamed venomously.

Black Tiger and Blood Maiden regrouped and surrounded them again.

A Miao woman was demanding his life from the front, three fierce men were attacking from behind, and powerful reinforcements from afar were rendered useless.

I clutched my bleeding shoulder, leaning against the cold, fang-shaped boulder, watching the four people closing in on me, a bitter smile creeping onto my lips.

Now, it's truly a situation where no one can survive.

"Cough cough..."

I leaned against the tiger-tooth rock and coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

At this point, the wound on my left shoulder had gone numb, and that numbness was spreading up my neck to my brain.

I know this is a sign that the poison is about to reach the heart.

Once the poison enters the brain, even a miracle cannot save you.

"What? You're not running anymore?"

Black Tiger, wielding his heavy Miao sword, approached step by step. "Where did that fierceness go? Chen family brat, stick your neck out and I'll give you a quick death!"

The ghost monkey beside him chuckled sinisterly as it bandaged the wound on its thigh, its eyes filled with venomous hatred like a mad dog.

Blood Maiden lashed out with her long whip, blocking all my escape routes.

Not far away, a Miao woman was playing with a jade flute in her hand, as if watching the last struggle of a trapped beast.

"Run? Why should I run?"

I looked down at my hands covered in blood and suddenly chuckled softly.

"Grandpa, I'm going to break my promise to you."

I silently chanted in my heart, and slowly raised my right hand, pressing my blood-stained fingers onto three major acupoints: my brow, my Adam's apple, and my heart.

The "Chen Family's Heavenly Garment Strategy" - Forbidden Chapter at the End of Volume: [The Cloak of Evil].

Corpse stitchers live among corpses year-round, absorbing far more yin and evil energy than ordinary people. While most people avoid them like the plague, we regard them as treasures.

This technique, 【Bearing Evil】, reverses the meridians, no longer actively circulating the evil energy stored within oneself, but instead directing it into the limbs and bones!

He used his body as a corpse and his clothes as a demon!

However, what I want to do is not just that.

With formidable enemies all around, a feng shui master of unknown strength lurking nearby, and even the Gu King that Li Qing had mentioned earlier, whose whereabouts were now unknown.

And who knows if this Miao woman has any hidden spies yet to appear!

In this situation, only a desperate fight offers a glimmer of hope!

My other hand was already on the tiger-tooth boulder.

I will forcefully introduce the overwhelming malevolent energy within this "White Tiger Carrying Corpse" formation, along with my own killing intent, into my limbs and bones!

"Buzz—"

As I exerted force with my fingers, I felt as if the blood in my body was boiling instantly, and then quickly cooling down, becoming as icy as ice water.

My heartbeat became heavy and thunderous, and with each beat, a violent force was pumped into my entire body.

Almost instantly, my physical fitness doubled!

Moreover, as the malevolent energy within the White Tiger Carrying Corpse Formation continued to surge into my body, I felt my power increasing stronger and stronger!
