Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Ghost Corpse Tide
Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He could feel this thing seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and was constantly absorbing the True Qi released by both of them, attempting to resist them.
Beside him, Feng Jiuge also had a serious expression, sweat beads seeping from her temples, her pearly teeth tightly biting her red lips.
Fortunately, their True Qi did not repel each other, so despite the difficult extraction process, no errors occurred.
After a whole incense stick’s worth of time, they finally extracted the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum fully from underground.
It was a fist-sized liquid, its surface flowing with a blood-red and silver glow, seemingly alive, slowly circulating in the True Qi held in their palms.
Yang Cheng quickly took out a Jade Bottle from his backpack and carefully guided the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum into it with True Qi, afraid to waste even a fraction.
Jiang Yu likely wouldn’t need so much Moon Marrow Blood Platinum, and if there’s any left, he could give it to Feng Jiuge, after all, without her help, he couldn’t have extracted it so easily.
As soon as the Jade Bottle was filled, its body began to emit a cold aura, with blood-silver patterns appearing on its surface, as if some ancient power was awakening within.
"Finally got it!"
Yang Cheng exhaled a long breath, carefully placing the Jade Bottle into his bosom.
Feng Jiuge also retracted her True Qi, leaned against the wall slightly panting, her cold and beautiful face showing a few traces of exhaustion, yet her eyes remained vigilant, looking at him.
If this person took the item and ran away, she wouldn’t know where to find him.
However, before they could relax, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, cracks spreading like a spider web in every direction.
"What’s happening?"
Feng Jiuge’s expression changed, her body tensing abruptly.
Yang Cheng looked down at the black hole, his pupils shrinking rapidly, instinctively jumping away.
Then suddenly, a pale, rotten hand thrust out from the black hole, its fingers curled like hooks, nails long and black, still hanging with decaying flesh, emitting a stench.
Then a second hand, a third...
Dozens of rotten hands extended from the crevice, as if the evil ghosts from hell were crawling up from below.
"Not good! Quick, let’s go!"
Yang Cheng exclaimed, grabbing Feng Jiuge’s wrist, ready to dash outside.
But it was too late!
Those rotten hands exerted force, twisted human figures crawled up from underground, surrounding them.
Their bodies highly decayed, some exposing white bones, some still draping broken clothes, their eyes cloudy and white, mouths leaking black, stinking liquid, issuing hoarse "hoho" sounds from their throats.
Ghost Corpses!
Yang Cheng felt a heavy weight in his heart, recalling the words of that old man; the Yin Qi in the Land of Extreme Yin is sustained by the suppression of the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum.
Now that the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum is removed, those Ghost Corpses, having absorbed years of grievance and Yin Qi, naturally awakened.
"What are these ghost things?"
Feng Jiuge’s face turned pale. Even the fiercest woman would fear such things, instinctively drawing closer to Yang Cheng.
She was now grateful she encountered Yang Cheng. Alone in the morgue confronted with so many terrifying ghostly entities, she’d probably be too scared and weak to run.
"Ghost Corpses, monsters formed from concentrated Yin Qi."
Yang Cheng, always gentlemanly, kept her shielded beside him, speaking in a deep voice, "Their claws contain corpse poison; getting scratched would be trouble, be cautious."
As he spoke, the nearest few Ghost Corpses had already rushed over.
Their movements seemed stiff and clumsy, yet fast beyond expectation, rotten claws tearing the air, bringing a gust of foul wind.
Yang Cheng’s figure flashed, evading a Ghost Corpse’s pounce, retaliating with a Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm.
Boom!
The scorching palm wind hit the Ghost Corpse, its mouth opening wide to emit a piercing, shrill howl, flames suddenly igniting on its body, staggering back a few steps yet failing to fall, instead crazily charging onward.
"My Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm couldn’t take out a Ghost Corpse in one strike, this is dire!"
Yang Cheng frowned, his Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm could restrain negative energies, but these Ghost Corpses’ Yin Qi was too severe, a single palm couldn’t solve it.
"Ah!!"
On the other side, Feng Jiuge screamed, watching as three Ghost Corpses lunged at her, turning pale.
But she quickly forced herself to calm, moving with extreme agility, like a black butterfly darting among the Ghost Corpses, palm strikes sharp, each carrying a fierce coldness.
The number of Ghost Corpses was overwhelming, seeming tireless; one falling, more crawling out from the cracks, deeply encasing them in the middle, utterly unbreachable.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Feng Jiuge cried out as a Ghost Corpse’s claw grazed her shoulder, tearing off a piece of fabric, her fair shoulder instantly showing several blood marks, the wound darkening and swelling, appearing quite frightening.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng’s figure flashed to her side, embracing her waist, immediately striking away the nearest Ghost Corpse, the two retreating to a relatively safe area.
"Forget about the wound for now; focus on escaping."
He spoke with gravitas, activating the Moon Golden Wheel at his waist.
Buzz——
Infusing True Qi, the Moon Golden Wheel expanded swiftly, spinning in his palm, two Spirit Stones emitting abundant Spiritual Energy, vibrant red and green glories, blades rotating at high speed, producing an ear-piercing buzzing sound.
Yang Cheng willed the Moon Golden Wheel to fly out like a meteor, sharp blades slicing through Ghost Corpses’ necks, making a rotten head fly off, black liquid gushing out.
Without a head, the Ghost Corpse’s body paused momentarily before finally tumbling down with a thud.
"Having such a weapon, why didn’t you reveal it earlier!"
Feng Jiuge’s eyes brightened, slightly annoyed inside, thinking if he acted sooner, she wouldn’t have been hurt.
"Initially, I thought there weren’t many; a bit of effort could handle it. Didn’t want these Ghost Corpses dirtying my weapon; who knew these Ghost Corpses were unexpectedly tough."
Yang Cheng chuckled awkwardly.
Before coming, the old man warned him; many had come seeking Moon Marrow Blood Platinum but perished in the Land of Extreme Yin. Although abandoned for years, no one dared dismantle it, evidently due to excessive Yin Qi—a place none dared touch.
Still overconfident, never expected so many Ghost Corpses would be nurtured in this mortuary.
Feng Jiuge seemed speechless, pulling out from the side of her thigh a pair of black short blades, their edges glinting with a mysterious, blue icy sheen.
More and more Ghost Corpses rushed in, the two naturally stood back to back: one using Moon Golden Wheel for ranged attacks, the other wielding short blades for close combat, growing increasingly synchronized, covering each other’s back, focusing solely on the Ghost Corpses in front.
