Chapter 235: The Strange Corpse Demon

Boom…

At the moment Li Wushuang turned around, a heavy sound that seemed to come from hell shook the entire valley, and the noise came from the dark cave.

Li Wushuang, who had taken a step forward, couldn’t help but stop. He stared at the cave ahead, filled with fear, his throat tight, truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

Boom…

Then, another heavy sound came from inside the cave, and shadows rushed out. Each shadow was extremely eerie, as if they were devils walking out of hell, ghosts emerging from the darkness, giving a spine-chilling feeling that made one’s heart tremble.

Terrified, Li Wushuang exclaimed and turned to run to the side.

The shadows appeared too quickly; in the blink of an eye, there were over a hundred of them. Once they appeared, they immediately surrounded Yun Yi.

This scene was seen by Li Wushuang not far away, and he looked confused, not understanding why these shadows only surrounded Yun Yi and ignored him, a living person.

Yun Yi’s gaze fell on the suddenly appearing shadows and discovered that these beings, resembling humans, were lifeless and were nothing but corpses.

However, these corpses were different from Li Wushuang’s corpse puppet, which was created by the Corpse Yin Sect using special methods and only obeyed its master’s commands.

The corpses in front of him carried a strong demonic energy and violent aura, clearly transformed into a new species due to the death of the person or demon and the special environment, gaining a hint of intelligence. Yun Yi called them Corpse Demons.

There were over a hundred Corpse Demons before him, each one looking fearsome and frightening. Some had only half a body, while the other half floated beside them; some were missing arms, others legs, and some even had only half a face.

The scene was truly terrifying; anyone with a weak heart would be scared to death, and there was no desire for battle at all.

Hah…

The Corpse Demons let out hoarse screams and surrounded Yun Yi.

“Creatures like the Corpse Demons should not exist in this world. Since you have encountered me, your destruction is inevitable.”

Yun Yi’s eyes shone like the blazing sun as the Red Lotus Karma Fire erupted, transforming into a fiery sword in his hand. He swept it across, and at least seven or eight Corpse Demons were tragically killed and completely burned to ashes.

The strength of these Corpse Demons was not very strong, at least not a threat to Yun Yi. The Red Lotus Karma Fire in Yun Yi’s hand completely restrained the Corpse Demons; it was their true nemesis.

In the distance, Li Wushuang observed everything with delight on his face.

“Truly, heaven is helping me. These Corpse Demons only attack Yun Yi and not me. Since that is the case, Yun Yi, you can stay and have fun with them while I leave first.”

As Li Wushuang spoke, he turned and headed out of the valley.

Seeing Li Wushuang trying to escape, Yun Yi would not let it go. He immediately leaped out of the circle of Corpse Demons and chased after Li Wushuang.

However, the moment Yun Yi charged out, more Corpse Demons suddenly appeared from nowhere, as if falling from the sky or appearing out of thin air, completely surrounding Yun Yi from all sides.

Yun Yi found himself trapped in a terrifying dark world, surrounded by nothing but menacing ghostly faces.

“Damn it, how did so many Corpse Demons suddenly appear? It seems like they are being controlled by someone; they are here to save Li Wushuang.”

Yun Yi was anxious; he was not foolish and could clearly see the strangeness of these Corpse Demons. He also sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed.

The Hundred Spirit Realm is full of dangers. The Corpse Demons, like the Nine-Lived Rock Demons, are creatures from the Hundred Spirit Realm, known for their bloodthirsty nature. They do not choose their victims; any living being with flesh and blood is a target for their attacks.

However, these Corpse Demons were only attacking him, and when he tried to chase Li Wushuang, more Corpse Demons came out to stop him. They were clearly protecting Li Wushuang.

Yun Yi did not understand why these Corpse Demons wanted to protect Li Wushuang. It was obvious from Li Wushuang’s earlier behavior that she did not know these Corpse Demons and, like him, was seeing them for the first time. She also showed strong signs of fear.

Since these Corpse Demons had nothing to do with Li Wushuang, the fact that they appeared to protect her raised an important question: who controlled these Corpse Demons? Perhaps it was the one behind them who truly wanted to protect Li Wushuang.

Meanwhile, in the center of the Hundred Spirit Realm, inside an ancient city.

A man in black robes sat cross-legged, surrounded by snakes and lizards crawling around him. A black rune flashed on his forehead. In front of him, a dark war flag moved on its own without wind. The man continuously formed Mana Seals with his hands and silently chanted a spell, as if he was controlling something.

Above the Shadow Evil Valley, Li Wushuang gazed down at the hellish scene and couldn’t help but shiver.

“Why do these Corpse Demons want to save me?”

Li Wushuang furrowed her brow. She was not foolish and could see that the sudden appearance of these Corpse Demons was not a coincidence. However, she could not understand why they wanted to save her; it made no sense to her.

“I can’t worry about that now; it’s better to leave first and get revenge on Yun Yi another day.”

Li Wushuang used the Hidden Shura Secret Method again, turning into a cloud of black smoke that rose into the sky and quickly disappeared.

Yun Yi was surrounded by hundreds of Corpse Demons but showed no fear at all.

“Six Character Mantra, open for me.”

Yun Yi shouted loudly, and a golden light shone all around him as the Six Character Mantra burst forth like six great mountains, crashing in all directions. The moment the golden light appeared, the Corpse Demons let out dreadful screams, clearly unable to withstand the impact of the light.

Boom…

The six powerful words collided fiercely, scattering the Corpse Demons. Many were smashed into pieces, and the once eerie Shadow Evil Valley became clear and bright under the golden light, as much dark energy and demonic power was purified.

The remaining Corpse Demons seemed to sense Yun Yi’s terrifying power or perhaps were controlled by someone behind them, and quickly disappeared, vanishing completely from the valley, some directly returning to the dark cave in Black Mountain.

The once chaotic valley fell silent again, leaving only Yun Yi alone.

Although he had driven the Corpse Demons back, Li Wushuang had completely vanished. Yun Yi wanted to search for Li Wushuang again but found nothing at all. This situation made Yun Yi even more certain that the appearance of the Corpse Demons was no accident. Their purpose was clear: to rescue Li Wushuang. Once Li Wushuang successfully escaped, the Corpse Demons would vanish again.

“Damn it, he still got away.”

Yun Yi looked helpless. This time he couldn’t kill Li Wushuang, and trying to kill her again would probably not be easy.
