Chapter 383: Infinite Resurrection?
Roar!
An angry roar erupted from the bottom of the lake of corpse fluid, and something protruded out of its surface. In fact, Chen Ah Sheng was trying to push his way out of the black lake with both hands.
Corpse Child abruptly disappeared from the edge of the lake and reappeared right above Chen Ah Shengs head. Before the Half-Step Grandmaster could react, he raised his right foot and brought it down gently.
Corpse Childs stomp was not even close to being as powerful as Chen Ah Shengs stomp earlier, but it still possessed the strength of many mountains. It pushed the Half-Step Grandmaster all the way back to the bottom of the crater.
Corpse Childs face was completely bluish purple at this point, and the world around him seemed to be decaying by the second. But although the black lake was calming down, Corpse Childs face was growing increasingly severe.
A few breaths later, a series of pops and cracks came from the bottom of the black lake. It grew louder and louder until it sounded like a thunderstorm.
A pair of arms punched through the surface of the corpse fluid again, and this time, it was unable to maintain its form. It split away in multiple directions and exposed Chen Ah Sheng at the center.
Chen Ah Sheng was currently covered in bluish purple spots and reeked of the stench of death, but as soon as he broke free from the corpse fluid, they began disappearing at a visible rate.
The Chaos Demon Ape was strong, resilient, flawless, and overflowing with vitality. As a result, not even the life-killing corpse fluid was able to affect it overly much.
After Chen Ah Sheng had broken free from the corpse fluid, he threw a mighty punch that ripped apart the astral wind surrounding Corpse Child and shattered him into bits.
It was a wasted effort though. Another Corpse Child floated out of a pool of corpse fluid, and he looked perfectly unharmed.
I bet you cant resurrect indefinitely! Chen Ah Sheng snarled and raced toward Corpse Child, but he was only halfway there when the one-horned giant appeared and slammed into his side, hard. Like a pair of meteors, they crashed into a nearby cliff so hard it nearly fell apart.
Graaaaahhhh! Just die! Chen Ah Sheng grabbed the one-horned giants horn with one hand and his left arm with the other. Then, he ripped its arm right out of its sockets.
Crack!
Blood flew everywhere and caught on fire as soon as it made contact with the ground. Screaming in pain, the one-horned giant ripped its head out of Chen Ah Shengs grasp and slammed its horn into his chest.
The sharp pain brought out Chen Ah Shengs violent impulse in full force, and he caught the one-horned giant by the neck before it could withdraw. Then, he began twisting his body as if he would rip One Horns head right out of its neck.
One Horn sensed his intentions and struggled with all its might. However, it was unable to break free because its horn was still lodged inside Chen Ah Shengs chest.
RAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Chen Ah Sheng let out a full-throated roar and pressed down on the one-horned giants arms, causing his head to move downward. At the same time, Chen Ah Sheng kneed him in the face with all his might.
Bang!
The attack flung the one-horned giants head upward, and caused its horn to slice right through Chen Ah Shengs flesh. However, it quickly came to a stop when it got caught in between his tough rib cage. Sensing an opportunity, Chen Ah Sheng kneed the one-horned giant a couple more times until the horn snapped in half, and the one-horned giant was sent flying.
Is that all you got, small fries?!
Corpse Child tilted his head to one side. This group is known as the Chaos Heaven Brigands, and they are one of the Thirteen Brigands who plagues Chu. The Chaos Heaven Brigands in particular have caused quite a lot of havoc in Tian Yong, Northern Xinjiang, and other prefectures. That doesnt concern us though. What does concern us is the fact that they had amassed a massive amount of wealth and treasures. What makes you think father wouldnt reward me if I present him these loot?
Oh, right. Money is the only thing that matters to that bitch. I dont even know why a ghost would need that much money, but to each their own, I suppose, the Heartless Brain exclaimed in realization.
Are you done? If youre done, then were heading back to Fengdu, Corpse Child said.
What is the meaning of this, Corpse Child? The Heartless Brain immediately figured out what Corpse Child was planning when the Stranger began walking toward him. I gave you everything you need and helped you to the best of my abilities, and this is the payment I get? Another eternity inside my jar? Just how shameless can you get, you ungrateful, backstabbing bastard!
What do you mean? I let you live and talk to your hearts content for a whole day. You might not agree, but Ive shown you plenty of benevolence already. Corpse Child continued to walk toward the Heartless Brain. Plus, you already received your payment. I dont see how Im being shameless or ungrateful.
The Heartless Brain shuffled backward, but it was nowhere as fast as Corpse Child. Aw dude come on, man! Let me stay here a little longer! If not, can you at least get me a bottle of wine before you pack me away? Too much? What about a sip? Not even a sip? Can I at least smell the alcohol?
The Heartless Brain begged, but Corpse Child was unmoved. Seeing this, the Heartless Brain shrugged helpless before breaking into a sudden smile. Theres no helping it, I suppose. Remember, youre the one who asked for this.
Hmm? Corpse Child paused in his tracks as a bad premonition suddenly struck him. The next moment, he felt the puddle of corpse fluid underneath his feet bubbling like boiling water and evaporating in just the blink of an eye. He blanched.
Realizing that he was in mortal danger, Corpse Child didnt hesitate to jump to the side. Someone was faster than him, however. He grabbed Corpse Childs head and slammed it into the ground.
Boom!
The hardened ground cracked from how much force tha man exerted, but he was just starting. He lifted Corpse Childs head and slammed it back into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, Corpse Child melted into a puddle of corpse fluid and seeped into the earth. Seeing this, the man sneered and said, Seriously?
He lifted his right foot exactly half an inch and brought it down. On the surface, it looked like the stomp did nothing at all, but under the ground, it was havoc. The corpse fluid was immediately pushed back onto the surface.
After the black puddle transformed back to Corpse Child, he said with a severe expression, Its you?!
The man standing before him was none other than Jiang Chongshanthe thief that shouldve died a while ago.
Its me! Are you surprised? Jiang Chongshan patted away the dust on his palms and grinned.
It was all a ploy from the start. You got me. Corpse Childs pupils contracted into pins.
From the moment he saw Jiang Chongshan, Corpse Child realized that he had been fooled. No wonder he felt like something was off even before the battle began. The Chaos Heaven Brigands granary and treasury had caught on fire, but he wasnt the one who ordered the sabotage. Jiang Chongshan had died a sudden death, but no one on his side had actually laid a finger on him.
It was all to enrage Chen Ah Sheng into battling them to the death. It was all so that Jiang Chongshan, the fisherman, would win it all.
Thank you for your praise, but Im just average. Jiang Chongshans grin widened.
You Youre not one of the Chaos Heaven Brigands, are you? Corpse Child asked suddenly.
Huh! Youre definitely a smart one! Im glad I didnt give you a chance to think! Jiang Chongshan remarked, but the absence of denial was itself an admission.
