Mortal Mirror

Around her, countless zombies were kneeling in worship. The innermost circle consisted of Green-Scaled Zombies, numbering over a hundred. The next few circles were Purple-Haired Zombies, totaling over a thousand. The outermost circles were layer upon layer of White-Haired Zombies, densely packed and countless. Such a scene would make anyone's scalp tingle.

Li Ergou was hiding beneath a tall tree on the hillside, using his spiritual insect, the firefly, to see everything clearly. Now that his cultivation had improved, the firefly's range had increased from the initial five hundred meters to a thousand meters.

Through the firefly, he saw that the woman on the mountaintop had delicate and fair features. It was none other than the Corpse Fiend he had seen before. So, this fellow had been running around and actually came to Bitter Water County. This was not good news. If this fellow attacked Bitter Water County with her horde of zombies, he would probably have to run for his life.

What puzzled him even more was what this fellow was up to. It was impossible for all these zombies to be from Bitter Water County. Could it be that she brought many of them from other places? That was very possible.

His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but he didn't know what this fellow was planning. He felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Brother Gou, what's going on up ahead? It looks very terrifying," Ye Wanwan said, staring at Li Ergou with her bright, watery eyes, a look of confusion on her face.

Black Cat also looked at Li Ergou, its eyes filled with inquiry.

Li Ergou naturally didn't come alone. He brought Ye Wanwan with him, and Black Cat carried them both here.

The reason he didn't bring anyone else was that there wasn't a good candidate. Ye Wanwan was a sharpshooter, so she could provide ranged attacks to help him in a pinch. With Black Cat around, he didn't have to worry about her not being able to escape.

As the saying goes, a hero needs two helpers. He wasn't a god, so he couldn't do things that involved venturing into danger alone.

Li Ergou quietly explained the situation on the mountaintop. Ye Wanwan clicked her tongue in amazement, feeling that this matter was very, very complicated. Black Cat's eyes also lit up, but who knew what this fellow was thinking.

Li Ergou continued to observe and noticed that the Corpse Fiend raised her head. She continuously chanted obscure incantations, and her hands constantly formed complex hand seals. With a sudden roar, a powerful suction force emanated from her body.

A variety of colored corpse energy began to rise from the heads of those zombies. They gathered in one place and were directly sucked away by the Corpse Fiend.

Li Ergou widened his eyes in disbelief at this scene. At this moment, he finally understood one thing: the reason this Corpse Fiend created so many zombies was for another purpose. It seemed that she wanted to use their power to achieve an even stronger cultivation.

Corpse energy filled the sky, and the Corpse Fiend continuously absorbed this corpse energy. The pressure on her body began to become even stronger.

Li Ergou was terrified. If this Corpse Fiend were to advance another step, it would be even more terrible, and perhaps no one would be able to restrain her anymore.

Unfortunately, Li Ergou could only worry anxiously. After all, with his cultivation, he couldn't do anything at this moment. If he dared to go out, he would probably be instantly killed by the Corpse Fiend. In that case, wouldn't he die without even knowing how?

He sighed in his heart and could only say, "I'm sorry, everyone in our village. It's not that I, Li Ergou, am not loyal, but I'm really powerless."

With that thought, he wanted to take Ye Wanwan and quickly escape from here, returning to the county town to notify everyone to quickly flee.

Just as this thought arose, he saw dozens of sword lights flashing across the sky like meteors streaking across the night sky. Before he could think too much, he heard a voice filled with righteousness from the distant sky: "Monster, you still don't know how to repent? You actually want to use the power of ten thousand corpses to break through to the next realm? You're really courting death."

Those sword lights quickly flew closer. Li Ergou saw that most of the people in that group were wearing the clothes of constables and deputy constables, but their constable clothes had various patterns on them, making them look much more impressive. They must be constables from Fish City.

The firefly quickly surveyed the area, and he suddenly saw a familiar face. It was actually Chen Bajin.

Li Ergou immediately confirmed that these people were indeed Fish City constables, and the person who had just spoken was actually a stern-faced middle-aged man. This person was not wearing official robes, but rather a Confucian robe. Without thinking too much, he knew that this must be some big shot from the Fish City Academy.

The Corpse Fiend looked at the crowd, but she ignored them. She suddenly increased her power. For a time, a powerful force was unleashed, and corpse energy was extracted even faster from those White-Haired Zombies. Some zombies couldn't withstand the enormous power, and their entire heads exploded directly.

Even the plump bodies of the Green-Scaled Zombies began to become withered.

The zombies' faces were twisted, as if they were enduring great pain. Countless corpse energy gathered together in the entire sky, actually forming a thick cloud of corpses.

Under the shroud of the corpse cloud, the Corpse Fiend's long hair flew up, and the blackness in her eyes disappeared, actually turning completely white. Countless corpse energy turned into huge cyclones and was quickly absorbed into her abdomen. Her brown corpse horns were gradually turning pure white. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before she advanced to the next level, becoming a White-Rank Corpse Fiend.

At this moment, those sword lights finally arrived near the Corpse Fiend. They saw one person in the lead shout, "Quickly stop her! If she succeeds in advancing, it will be terrible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his flying sword. A light golden flying sword came swiftly.

The golden flying sword actually spat out a ten-foot sword light, shining with endless dazzling golden light, carrying unparalleled terrifying power, and slashed down towards the corpse cloud.

The Corpse Fiend opened her mouth and roared at the sky. She saw the light on her corpse horns flashing, and then a red light shot out from the corpse horns, hitting the golden sword with a bang.

With a loud bang, the golden sword was blasted away by the red light.

The person from the academy was shocked and said, "Not good, she can already use the power of her corpse horns. She has successfully advanced, but her current cultivation is very unstable. Everyone, attack together and be sure to kill her, otherwise, it will definitely be an endless disaster."

When the people behind him heard this, they unleashed their weapons and charged towards the Corpse Fiend.

The Corpse Fiend laughed loudly and said, "Despicable and shameless villains, you actually dare to attack me? Today, you will all die."

"Roar..."

She roared again, waved her hand, and the corpse cloud above her head turned into a sharp sword, slashing towards the crowd. She waved her hand again, and those Green-Scaled Zombies stood up and roared as they charged towards those people.

Unfortunately, the current Green-Scaled Zombies had been absorbed too much corpse energy, and their strength was less than half of what it was before. The Purple-Haired Zombies were even more不堪, and many of them couldn't even stand up. Most of the White-Haired Zombies had been sucked into white bones, and when the wind blew, they turned into powder.

It must be said that this Corpse Fiend is so powerful that she harmed all these guys to death in one breath.

On the tall tree in the distance, Li Ergou saw the sword lights flashing over there, fighting fiercely. He said to Ye Wanwan beside him, "Both sides are very powerful, and I don't know which side will win. Let's wait and see. If Fish City wins, we'll go pick up a bargain. If the Corpse Fiend wins, we must run away quickly, otherwise, we'll die without a burial place."

Ye Wanwan said, "That's not good, right? We should at least go and cheer them on now, otherwise, when we pick up a bargain, will we be despised by those people? Show our faces, we can help them clean up those little喽啰, and at the end, we can also receive credit together."

Li Ergou didn't expect Ye Wanwan's little head to be quite useful. With that thought, just as he was about to agree, he heard a miserable scream from over there, which made his scalp tingle.
