129: It's quite satisfying to plunder someone's life force.

"Are you getting a little too big for your britches?"

Slime! Chen Heng slapped Weng Hua across the face.

Two sharp canine teeth flew out, embedding themselves directly into the wall.

His head was also stuck in the wall.

"Heh heh, you foolish thing, you can't kill me!"

Even after being beaten like that, Weng Hua still didn't give in.

This kind of person is a classic example of someone whose mouth is the hardest part of their entire body.

"..." Chen Heng fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. He felt as if he had heard these exact words many times before.

Without exception, everyone who had ever said such words ended up being beaten to death by Chen Heng.

"I possess a Zombie Body; only a Zombie stronger than me can kill me!"

"So that's how it is." Chen Heng glanced around, and only after realizing there was no one else present did he nod in relief.

"Since you put it that way, I won't hold back."

The next moment, Chen Heng's entire body turned pitch black, and four sharp fangs replaced his previous canines.

His eyes were blood-red, and his entire being exuded a fierce Qi that seemed to come from the wilderness.

"No, an Unmelting Bone?" Weng Hua's eyes nearly popped out, and his arrogant demeanor immediately vanished.

How could this be? Shouldn't he just be a Mortal martial artist?

Why did Chen Heng, who had no Corpse Qi just a moment ago, suddenly transform into an Unmelting Bone?

Not only was Weng Hua dumbfounded, but Junior Brother Yuan, who was preparing to ambush Chen Heng from the side, also froze in place.

The already not-so-bright minds of these two had begun to smoke.

It was only just now that Chen Heng remembered that the evolution of a Zombie Body precisely required other Zombies.

He used his Zombie Body so rarely that Chen Heng had almost forgotten its combat attributes.

After all, he had always treated his Zombie Body as a moon energy absorber.

"You said only a Zombie stronger than you can kill you, right?"

Chen Heng grinned sinisterly, looking more like a villain than Weng Hua.

The Zombie Body had an ability that Chen Heng had never used: absorbing Qi and blood.

Chen Heng had always believed this ability was too cruel and didn't quite fit his persona.

But in the current situation, using this ability, Chen Heng felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

He even felt a slight anticipation.

One should know that those beasts from Ghost Corpse Temple mostly followed the Corpse Dao.

The Corpse Dao not only controls Zombies but can also transform oneself into a Zombie.

That means they can basically all turn into Zombies.

"Then isn't this hitting the jackpot?" Chen Heng's ferocious appearance, coupled with his inexplicable words, made Weng Hua and Junior Brother Yuan even more terrified.

This was no Mortal martial artist; this was clearly a Devil Head comparable to their Master!

"S-Senior, this junior knows his mistake. Please spare this junior's life."

Junior Brother Yuan knelt very quickly, immediately prostrating himself on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Junior Brother Yuan, you!" Weng Hua glared at Junior Brother Yuan with a face full of fury. He hadn't expected Junior Brother Yuan's backbone to be so soft!

"Hmph! Senior, please just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Weng Hua had just been angrily scolding Junior Brother Yuan, but the next moment, he too plopped down to his knees.

"Why should I let you go?" Chen Heng was bewildered by their sudden change. Weren't they unyielding, iron-willed tough guys just a moment ago?

Their personas collapsed so quickly.

"We know the whereabouts of the soul hook hairpin, and the soul suppressing bell is already in your hands."

"As long as we find the corpse quelling gong, we can open the Hundred Corpse Tomb, and the Opportunity inside will be all yours!"

"Legend has it that the Opportunity within the Hundred Corpse Tomb can allow a Drought Demon to evolve into a Hou, an extremely rare and valuable chance!"

"You are currently an Unmelting Bone; as long as you sacrifice and refine this entire Qiyang City, becoming a Drought Demon will be child's play for you!"

"Yes, my Master Cao Jihan has also set his sights on this Qiyang City. As long as you eliminate him, all the blood food in Qiyang City will be yours..."

Weng Hua's mouth rattled like a machine gun for a full three minutes.

Chen Heng did not interrupt Weng Hua's outpouring, simply listening to him babble quietly.

"Senior Brother, you..." Junior Brother Yuan hadn't expected Weng Hua to sell out their Ghost Corpse Temple completely.

He hadn't even hesitated.

"Senior, with our help, that old dog Cao Jihan will definitely not be your opponent!"

Weng Hua thumped his chest, making a 'you can trust me' expression.

"No need."

After hearing Weng Hua's words, Chen Heng shook his head and grabbed his head.

"You beasts, are the living lives in Qiyang City really so worthless in your eyes?"

"Compared to bullying the weak, I prefer to punch those who are stronger."

"So, I will personally go find your Master, but I don't need your help."

"The best fate for a beast like you is to become my nourishment."

With that, Chen Heng bit into Weng Hua's neck amidst his terrified gaze.

The Zombie Body's Qi and blood absorption ability activated, and Chen Heng began to frantically plunder the Corpse Qi and Qi and blood within Weng Hua's body.

The Corpse Qi was used to strengthen the Zombie Body, while a portion of the Qi and blood was converted into cultivation base, and another portion into Chen Heng's own Qi and blood.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Weng Hua's skin visibly dulled at a rapid pace, and his muscles shriveled.

He tried to say something but couldn't, only able to produce meaningless gurgling sounds from his mouth.

Junior Brother Yuan, on the side, was filled with despair. This way of dying looked even more terrifying than being made into a living corpse!

Soon, Chen Heng threw Weng Hua, who was reduced to only a skeleton, onto the ground with a thud.

Although Weng Hua was a beast who treated human lives like grass, draining him allowed Chen Heng to gain a full sixty years of cultivation and five thousand points of Qi and blood.

Even the Zombie Body received a significant boost.

"It's your turn." Chen Heng's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam.

The feeling of plundering Qi and blood was incredibly exhilarating, making one unable to stop.

However, this ability absolutely could not be used on Mortals.

Firstly, it wasn't cost-effective, and secondly, it was too damaging to karma.

"Spare my life, Senior, spare my life!"

Junior Brother Yuan knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, snot flying far and wide.

"Want to live?" Chen Heng asked, stepping on Junior Brother Yuan's head with one foot.

"Yes!" Junior Brother Yuan's eyes lit up, knowing he had a chance to survive.

"Very good. Take me to your current base. I'll help you kill your Master."

Chen Heng squatted down and patted Junior Brother Yuan's head, just like petting a dog.

"Oh, right, how many of you are there in total?"

"Ghost Corpse Temple has come out in full force this time. Besides our Master, there are a total of twenty-seven Disciples!"

"There are also seventy-seven Purple Zombies, one hundred twenty White Zombies, fifty-five Green Zombies, twenty-three Hairy Zombies, and nine Flying Zombies."

"Aside from Cao Jihan's cultivation reaching the Unmelting Bone level, the strongest of the other Disciples only reached the Wandering Corpse level."

"Wandering Corpse..." Chen Heng glanced at Weng Hua's skeleton, then turned to look at Junior Brother Yuan.

"What's your name?"

"This junior's name is Yuan Hua. I only know how to control corpses, not how to transform into one."

Yuan Hua honestly revealed all of Ghost Corpse Temple's arrangements, without any concealment.

"Yuan Hua?" Chen Heng paused, looking at the guy kneeling before him with some surprise.

"Little Merman, huh?"
