"Not good."
Beside her, people were amazed at the prowess of the couple, Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun, but Qiu Zhihe’s expression remained cool as she slightly shook her head.
"Miss, what’s wrong?"
Liu Su asked, puzzled.
Qiu Zhihe replied with dissatisfaction, "Too weak."
"..." Liu Su was at a loss for words:
"Miss, are you saying this Earth Mole is too weak and cannot give the master a proper challenge?"
Qiu Zhihe nodded, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, harboring so resentnt towards the Hamr Girl in her heart.
You said you’d leave it half-dead for my husband to practice on, but you’ve already beaten it down to just thirty percent strength. What’s the point of my husband fighting it now?
"Such a ferocious demonic beast, and Sister Qiu deliberately ant it for Uncle Qin to practice with? Sister Qiu is so impressive!"
Not far away, Fang Xue overheard, and looked at Qiu Zhihe with increased admiration, inadvertently thinking of her own master.
Her master said Uncle Qin was her senior brother, and she could tell her master also had a fondness for Uncle Qin.
Uncle Qin is truly blessed to be highly regarded by both her master and Sister Qiu, two remarkable won!
Si Minglan reminded, "Qiu Zhihe, be wary of any hidden tricks that ghost thing might have!"
Qiu Zhihe slightly nodded, and said to Qin Gengyun, "Husband, finish it."
"Alright!"
Qin Gengyun fought with increasing ease. With a wave of his hand, the Heaven-Reaching Staff flew into the air, suddenly expanding in size and length, turning enormous—larger than a pavilion.
Moreover, the massive staff emitted a brilliant golden light, clearly imbued once again with the intent of the Golden Dawn Fist.
Qin Gengyun raised both hands, controlling the gigantic staff as it smashed down onto the Earth Mole, which lay writhing and howling on the ground!
In an instant, the wind roared, thunder crashed, and brilliant light shone; the gigantic staff crashed down like a pillar reaching the heavens, as if a teor fell from the sky, creating a huge pit in the Patriarch’s courtyard!
The ground shook violently, causing the hundreds of cultivators around to stagger and reel about in shock.
"Is this the power of a Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator?"
"Don’t forget the Heaven-Reaching Staff, the Chang Family’s heirloom!"
"And his wife, who has great divine power!"
The crowd was both astounded and envious, collectively breathing a sigh of relief.
This viciously evil Chang Shengzi should have no path left to escape!
"Husband, watch out!"
Qiu Zhihe’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, suddenly shouting to Qin Gengyun.
Suddenly, a massive cloud of black energy rose from the ground, rushing straight at Qin Gengyun!
Thankfully, with Qiu Zhihe’s warning, Qin Gengyun was already on guard and swiftly dodged.
Everyone was horrified: "What’s happening?!"
The black cloud dispersed in mid-air, revealing a massive scroll, which unfurled to reveal it was filled with images of people.
Yet these people in the scroll were bizarre, their eyes vacant, limbs rigid, resembling soulless corpses.
"Northern Wilderness Spirit Corpses?!"
Xingluo Town, being next to the Northern Wilderness, often saw people from there coming and going, so it was quickly recognized that the scroll depicted Northern Wilderness Spirit Corpses!
"Thousand Corpses Painting?"
Qiu Zhihe looked up, frowning slightly.
Liu Su exclaid, "It’s actually the Thousand Corpses Painting, such an evil treasure! How could the Chang Family, a Guardian of the Righteous Path, have hidden evil artifacts like this?"
Qin Gengyun was sowhat puzzled, but Qiu Zhihe had already explained:
"The Thousand Corpses Painting is a Northern Wilderness Evil Artifact, capable of summoning a thousand spirit corpses. The bodies of the spirit corpses are tough, and they are filled with deadly poison, be careful!"
"Hehehe, my Chang Family has stood for hundreds of years, did you really think you could kill so easily?"
Suddenly, a sharp shriek was heard, and Chang Shengzi, transford into an Earth Mole, appeared behind the Thousand Corpses Painting. Its left eye had beco a blood hole, and its body bore many wounds, looking quite miserable.
But at this mont, a hideously sinister smile appeared on that face, which was half-human, half-beast.
The next mont, a pallid, stiff arm actually reached out from the painting.
Then more and more arms stretched out, as one by one the spirit corpses crawled out of the scroll.
These spirit corpses had crooked heads, eyes white and vacant, and as soon as they landed, they raised their arms and charged at the surrounding cultivators.
Although they seed rigid, their movents were incredibly fast. A few loose cultivators from Xingluo Town were unable to dodge and were pounced upon in an instant.
The spirit corpses opened their mouths wide, biting into the cultivators’ necks, and began to suck blood!
Even more strangely, as the spirit corpses sucked blood, their bodies started to slowly grow larger.
The surrounding cultivators retreated, terrified: "Watch out, once spirit corpses absorb the cultivators’ spirit blood, they’ll beco more powerful!"
However, more and more spirit corpses were pouring out of the Thousand Corpses Painting, quickly surrounding the entire courtyard—at a rough count, there appeared to indeed be a thousand of them!
"Kill them!" Chang Shengzi cackled viciously, and the spirit corpses imdiately sward towards the people from all directions!
"Dear wife!"
Qin Gengyun flew to Qiu Zhihe’s side, swinging his staff and sending more than a dozen spirit corpses flying, but the Heaven-Reaching Staff striking them only produced a thudding sound, unable to smash them to pieces in one blow.
Qiu Zhihe was shielded behind him, warning:
"Husband, be careful. The spirit corpses have tough bodies due to Evil Techniques, only their heads are weak points."
Qin Gengyun turned and grinned at her, "Don’t worry, my dear, I’ll protect you."
Qiu Zhihe was slightly taken aback, a hint of smile appearing on her delicate, pretty face.
"Alright."
Liu Su, unafraid, giggled from behind Qiu Zhihe, "Tsk tsk tsk, the master has grown, he can finally protect the miss. Miss, isn’t it sweet?"
Qiu Zhihe’s smile faded as she followed her gaze, Qin Gengyun’s expression instantly darkened.
In the distance, Mo Xiaolan and her three companions were already surrounded by a group of spirit corpses.
The poison in them hadn’t been neutralized, and their cultivation hadn’t recovered, so they were powerless to fend off the spirit corpses.
"Dear wife, I will go assist Taoist Friend Mo and her companions, stay safe!"
Without further delay, Qin Gengyun darted over, striking away the spirit corpses surrounding Mo Xiaolan and the others.
But there were far too many spirit corpses, relentless and unafraid of death, constantly rushing towards his direction.
"Taoist Friend Mo, Taoist Friend Si, Xiaoxue, follow !"
Qin Gengyun shielded the three behind him, the Heaven-Reaching Staff swirling, relentlessly crushing the heads of spirit corpses, making them fall one by one.
Mo Xiaolan, behind Qin Gengyun, anxiously warned, "Taoist Friend Qin, be careful not to let the spirit corpses touch you."
Qin Gengyun shouted, "Taoist Friend Mo, today I will surely get you out of here!"
Si Minglan quipped cynically nearby, "Rember to save and Xiaoxue as well."
Mo Xiaolan gazed unwaveringly at Qin Gengyun, who stood like a mountain before her, her lips involuntarily curving into a smile.
This scene fell into the distant gazes of Qiu Zhihe and Liu Su, who clicked her tongue:
"Miss, at a ti like this, the master is still flirting, aren’t you going to reign him in!"
"Shut up!"
Qiu Zhihe’s expression slightly changed, her figure flashed, as she reached Qin Gengyun, hugging his waist. The two soared into the sky.
In the next mont, the ground burst open, and the Earth Mole drilled out from underground, its huge mouth wide open, swallowing Mo Xiaolan, Si Minglan, and Xiaoxue whole!
