119: Nine Nether Corpse Refining Technique

Wu Yue's gaze was stern as he attacked Fang Huai.

He was not a foolish man; he knew the current situation meant he could no longer negotiate with Fang Huai.

Although the fox demon was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she was clearly Fang Huai's servant. Only by killing Fang Huai quickly could he escape this dangerous situation.

"Purple Sun Sword Qi!"

The spirit sword shot out several beams of purple light, rushing toward Fang Huai.

Fang Huai vanished on the spot, his figure appearing ten zhang away. He then swung the crimson heavens cry, and several cyan-red Sword Qi beams shot toward Wu Yue.

Wu Yue's spirit sword's purple light surged to block the attack, shattering the cyan-red Sword Qi, and he said in surprise: "You actually have a Leap Plate?"

He then frowned and said: "But it's just a low-grade imitation. With your level of spiritual power, you can use it at most twice. Let's see how many of my Sword Qi beams you can dodge!"

Just as he was about to attack Fang Huai again, he suddenly felt a slight soreness in his meridians.

Looking closely, he realized that at some point, a faint red mist had appeared in the air.

At the source of the red mist, Li Zhu's delicate fox face split to her ears, her giant mouth wide open, as Blood Jade Worms mixed with poisonous fiendish energy poured out continuously.

Seeing Wu Yue looking at her, she scratched her cheek with her furry paw and said apologetically:

"Sorry, there are just too many Gu worms in my body. I'm expelling some, could you help me raise them?"

Gu worms?

Wu Yue was shocked. If it were ordinary Gu worms, he would have noticed them long ago, but these Gu worms were actually able to affect his five senses, which was why he only just realized it.

Unknowingly, thousands of Blood Jade Worms had entered his meridians.

He tried to force them out but discovered that the worms were biting tightly onto his meridians. It took a massive amount of spiritual power to barely force out a hundred of them.

The Blood Jade Worms were eroding Wu Yue very slowly, but the feeling of his spiritual power gradually being blocked made Wu Yue increasingly desperate.

He turned to look at Fang Huai, his voice hoarse: "Fellow Daoist, I am willing to give you all the treasures in my Storage Pouch, just spare my life!"

"If I kill you, won't everything in the Storage Pouch be mine anyway?"

Fang Huai tapped his Storage Pouch and took out a blue Talismanic Incantation: "A dignified Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Righteous Cultivator actually begging a Demonic Cultivator for mercy, how laughable. Do you recognize this? This is an image recording talisman; it can record images and sounds. If you repeat what you just said about begging for mercy, I will spare your life."

"You demonic brat, since that's the case, let's die together!"

Wu Yue's face showed madness as he gathered all his spiritual power, preparing to use a secret technique to self-destruct.

Seeing this, Li Zhu's furry fox ears instantly stood straight up, and she said in terror: "Run! This guy is going to risk his life."

Fang Huai used Teleportation again, while simultaneously injecting his remaining spiritual power into the crimson heavens cry, looking at Wu Yue with a calm gaze.

Seeing Wu Yue's [Abundant Spiritual Qi (Red)] status turn into [Spiritual Power Depleted (White)], Fang Huai struck instantly, swapping his own [depleted spiritual power] status with him.

Then he said: "You want to die, but I won't let you. I still have use for you."

Wu Yue laughed in anger and roared: "You demonic brat, you are too arrogant! Taste my Purple Sun Body-Destroying Technique!"

But the next second, his expression suddenly froze, immediately replaced by extreme terror. His voice trembled: "What kind of monster are you?"

The little spiritual power he had left in his body had vanished completely, and even the self-destruct Spell that was about to condense fell apart due to the lack of spiritual power.

Fang Huai said calmly: "To deal with trash like you, do I need to be a monster?"

"I'll kill you!" Wu Yue's expression twisted as he rushed toward Fang Huai.

"I'll kill..."

Wu Yue didn't get a few steps before stopping, a hint of confusion appearing on his face: "Who am I killing?"

His expression gradually became painful as he grabbed his hair with both hands: "I... who am I?"

His eyes widened as he stared at Fang Huai: "Who are you? Why am I running in your direction?"

Fang Huai walked up to Wu Yue and reached out to touch his forehead: "Good son, your name is Wu Yue, you are my son, and I am your father."

"What is a father?"

"A father is the person who created you. You must always be loyal to your father; you must do whatever your father says."

Hearing Fang Huai's words, Wu Yue's twisted expression gradually relaxed, and he nodded, appearing to half-understand.

"Hee hee hee hee, Wu Yue, I am your second mother, call me second mother."

Li Zhu leaned over, smilingly cupping Wu Yue's face: "I didn't expect that I would suddenly have a good son who is nearly two hundred years old!"

"Second mother..." Wu Yue said slowly.

"She is not your second mother, she is just my fox demon follower." Fang Huai shook his head, "Wu Yue, remember, only I am your kin, and you must only listen to me."

"Listen to you... Father... I am in some pain... I feel my skin and flesh separating..."

Wu Yue scratched his fingernail and casually tore off a piece.

Fang Huai pulled his head into his arms, waving his fingers as the Confusing Evil Qi slipped into Wu Yue's Sea of Consciousness: "You are not in pain, you are just sleepy. Go to sleep for a while."

Li Zhu watched Wu Yue, who was trapped in an illusion, muttering "Father", "Second mother", and "Fox demon" over and over again, and clicked her tongue:

"This guy really brought this on himself. Not only did he get backlashed by his own technique, but he also picked up a cheap father for nothing."

Seeing Fang Huai didn't speak, she added: "I'm saying, have you gone crazy from missing a son? Out of everyone you could pick, you had to pick a two-hundred-year-old old man to be your kid?"

Fang Huai couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her, his gaze locked on the Cultivation Technique Jade Tablet not far away. He walked up slowly, his Divine Sense immersed in it.

[Nine Nether Corpse Refining Technique]

A moment later, the Jade Tablet turned into powder, and the Nine Nether Corpse Refining Technique was completely imprinted in Fang Huai's mind.

He sighed in his heart; the Refining Corpse Peak was truly worthy of being the second peak of the Corpse Fiend Sect, second only to the Sect Master Peak. This bottom-of-the-box corpse refining technique was simply absurd beyond measure.

The Human Race can refine it, the Yao Race can refine it, and the Beast Race can refine it. Even the plant Essence Spirits that crawl out of the dirt can all be refined;

Dead people can be refined, and living people can be refined even more;

Even skeletons, severed limbs, or scattered pieces of meat like hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys can all be refined into a Baleful Corpse;

The most evil part is that there is even a path to refine oneself into a Baleful Corpse!

His Divine Sense quickly sorted through the chaotic information, finding the corpse refining technique he needed—the Living Corpse Technique.

When he was in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he had seen Shen Yuan carrying Zhang Zhu, who had been refined into a Living Corpse, and using the Vow Fiend with Zhang Zhu's help. That scene was still fresh in his memory.

"Shen Yuan once said that a Living Corpse refined from a person one loves and is close to has the best connection of hearts and minds. Now, in Wu Yue's heart, I am his father. In that case, I should count as his closest and most loved person, right?"

The Living Corpse Technique introduced three methods for refining a Living Corpse: Copper-Armored Baleful Corpse, Silver-Armored Baleful Corpse, and Golden-Armored Baleful Corpse, with increasing difficulty of refining.

After carefully analyzing the Living Corpse Technique, Fang Huai set his target on the Golden-Armored Baleful Corpse.

Wu Yue was at the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage. If the Living Corpse refined was of too low a quality, it would be a waste of this body.

"Li Zhu, release all the Blood Jade Worms you have stored and drive them into Wu Yue's body."

Li Zhu didn't understand, but she still did as Fang Huai requested.

After absorbing a massive amount of Blood Jade Worms, Wu Yue's whole body swelled up and turned red.

Seeing that he was about to explode, Li Zhu shook her head and said: "Your good son is finished."

Just at this moment, Fang Huai pressed his palm against his chest, and the Small Corpse Meteor Worm took the opportunity to enter Wu Yue's body, suppressing the irritable Blood Jade Worms.

"You..."

Li Zhu's mouth opened wide, her eyes full of disbelief. She had thousands of questions in her heart, but she held back and did not continue to ask.
