Chapter 568: Corpse ghost, curse!
Although Lin Mo's Night-Zhan Dao was broken during the fight with the Yin God Meng E, his swordsmanship reached perfection.
Just by raising your hand, you can use it as a knife.
A flash of knife light suddenly appeared.
In the illusory sword shadow, there is a faint hint of blood-red edge!
The man's pupils shrank and he wanted to dodge but it was too late.
He didn't care about Leng Lingding at the moment and crossed his arms to block hastily.
But when the knife flashed, his arms were cut off at the root like rotten wood!
Even the sharp nails that had previously withstood Leng Lingding's short blade broke with a crisp "crack" sound.
What was strange was that there was not a trace of blood oozing out of the wounds on the severed arms. Instead, they were a strange dark brown color!
"what--!"
The man let out a sharp beast-like roar and staggered backward.
Then, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes, a phlegm sound came from his throat, and his green eyes stared at Lin Mo.
"The Immortality Jade is not something you can afford!"
After saying this, his face gradually turned pale, his eyes became lifeless, and a sense of decay suddenly emerged from his body.
Then, unexpectedly, he stuffed the severed arm into his mouth and started chewing it frantically!
The clothes on his body were also rotting rapidly and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
On the exposed chest, a huge black talisman appeared.
At the same time, the black lines under his skin squirmed and twisted like an earthworm, and his body expanded rapidly.
The whole scene was extremely weird!
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by black air and turned into a monster with a green face and fangs!
"What the hell is this? Isn't it the living dead? No, it looks like..."
Ao En's face was filled with astonishment, and he cursed under his breath.
At this moment, the black talisman on the monster's chest attracted his attention.
The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a strong look of horror flashed across his eyes.
Leng Lingding had never seen such a strange scene.
I originally thought that the other party was just a petty thief who was tempted by money and wanted to rob people on the road.
But I didn't expect it to be a monster!
Sure enough, not all people in the ghost market are human!
At the same time, the monster with a green face and fangs growled and pounced towards Lin Mo!
Just before he pounced on her—
Lin Mo raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Demon Slaying Technique!"
He put his right fingers together and slightly turned them, then struck again with the knife!
Cut down heavily!
The knife flashed like lightning.
"laugh!"
The blade instantly pierced through the monster's chest.
It trembled all over, and then collapsed to the ground like mud.
Ao En, who was standing by, witnessed this scene with shock in his eyes.
"Good swordsmanship..."
He stared at Lin Mo's right hand and muttered to himself, "What kind of sword technique are you using... You can actually condense sword energy out of thin air? This is unheard of!"
The monster's body had long since decayed, its dry skin clinging to its bony skeleton, and only its cloudy eyes still burned with the last bit of malice.
A hoarse roar came out of its throat, like the wind blowing through a rotten coffin.
"You... thought... it was over?"
The corners of the monster's twisted mouth cracked, revealing sharp yellow teeth, and dark purple blood dripped down its chin.
Lin Mo looked at it coldly with an indifferent expression, as if what he saw was just a dying beast.
The monster's voice suddenly rose, like countless dead souls screaming -
"I curse you... Like me, your body will rot away piece by piece! Your flesh and blood... will become food for maggots! Your soul... will fall into an endless hell! I curse you...!"
In an instant, a cold and invisible aura burst out from the monster's body.
It wrapped around Lin Mo's body like a poisonous snake, drilled into his skin and seeped into his bone marrow.
The power of the curse was like a substance, traveling through the blood vessels and bringing needle-like pain, as if countless tiny worms were wriggling in the flesh and blood.
Lin Mo frowned and swung the knife again.
The monster's head suddenly moved away, and it completely collapsed, turning into a pool of foul-smelling black mud.
Lin Mo raised his arm, looked at the faint black lines on his skin, and then smiled contemptuously.
"A boring trick."
He muttered softly, his blood boiling.
Then he started to practice the Dragon-Tiger Prajna Sutra and the Xuanyuan Internal Classic.
The vast energy, blood and dragon vein power instantly surged out like a flood.
In the blink of an eye, the cold breath carrying the power of curse was completely swallowed up.
Lin Mo's expression was indifferent, as if he was just brushing off a speck of dust.
"Gudong!"
A head rolled to the side.
Lin Mo took a quick glance and saw that the monster's originally green face and fangs had returned to normal, with the remaining half of the face covered with corpse spots.
"You just said he was the living dead?"
Lin Mo glanced at Ao En and pointed at the body on the ground and asked.
"Huh? Yes."
Ao En was still immersed in the shock brought by Lin Mo's sharp swordsmanship and had not yet recovered.
At this moment, when he heard Lin Mo asking the question, he didn't want to answer it.
But when he saw Lin Mo's indifferent eyes, he shuddered all over and spoke subconsciously: "But he is not an ordinary living dead."
"What do you mean?" Leng Lingding looked puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is most likely a corpse ghost that escaped from Fengmen Village!" Ao En explained patiently.
"Corpse ghost? What is a corpse ghost?" Leng Lingding was even more confused.
If it were any other time, Ao En wouldn't have the patience to tell this to a stranger.
But today, he rarely hid anything.
"People have three souls and seven spirits. After a person dies, if the incomplete soul is sealed in the body so that it cannot be reincarnated, even though it is a dead person, it can be like a living person, keeping the body intact and able to move freely. However, it loses its humanity and human emotions, and becomes a half-corpse, half-ghost existence that feeds on rotten flesh."
"So that's how it is." Leng Lingding nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Mo was more concerned about a word in Ao En's words.
"You said he was a corpse ghost from Fengmen Village?"
Ao En's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had let something slip.
He quickly laughed out loud: "Ah? Did I say that?"
Leng Lingding nodded: "You said so."
Ao En said calmly, "Oh, maybe I slipped my tongue."
"you!"
Leng Lingding was speechless. This guy was really lying with his eyes open.
Lin Mo knew that even if he continued to ask, Ao En probably wouldn't say too much.
If you don't need anything from him, you can just interrogate him directly.
But now we still have to rely on him to reforge the Zanyaku Sword, so we can't push him too hard.
Lin Mo smiled slightly and asked slowly, "Master Ao, can you help me with the matter I mentioned earlier?"
Ao En was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Okay, I can help you recast this sword, but I have a condition--"
He stared at Lin Mo with burning eyes, "After the matter is done, the ancient jade will belong to me, how about it?"
Lin Mo slowly shook his head: "I can't give you that piece of jade, I still have a use for it."
Are you kidding? That’s the little black dragon’s residence, how could I give it to this guy?
Leng Lingding was worried that after Lin Mo refused, Ao En would not agree.
Unexpectedly, Ao En was not angry, as if he had expected Lin Mo to answer like this.
He curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Since you are unwilling to give me the ancient jade, I don't want to force you. So, I will change the conditions."
Lin Mo gave him a deep look.
This old fox is not as honest as he looks, he is full of tricks!
Sure enough, none of those who can make a name for themselves in the world are easy to deal with.
"You said that the remuneration can be negotiated."
"I am old now, what use do I have for all that gold and silver?"
"Then what do you want?"
"You are so skilled, I want you to help me kill someone!"
"Who?"
"Meng Dehai!"
