Chapter 116: Bloody Scheme

Chapter 116: Bloody Scheme

Yang Haoran completely ignored Master Zhou. Seeing the chain formed by his Yin spirit power being grabbed by the corpse fiend, his face darkened. With a fierce flick of his wrist, the chain immediately turned into strands of Yin Qi, then bypassed the corpse fiend and directly attacked Master Zhou from behind!

Master Zhou's expression remained unchanged, calmly waving his hand, a grayish-white light flashed by, dispersing the oncoming Yin Qi.

At this moment, under Yang Haoran's ghost eye, not only was the corpse fiend shrouded in a layer of grayish-white Corpse Qi, but Master Zhou himself was also enveloped in a layer of grayish-white special power.

Compared to the corpse fiend, the fluctuations of this grayish-white power on Master Zhou's body were much stronger, they were simply not in the same league. In other words, in terms of strength, Master Zhou was definitely much stronger than the corpse fiend.

Recalling yesterday when he only sensed a faint fluctuation of power from Master Zhou, Yang Haoran had thought that Master Zhou might have some power, but it was too weak. Now it seemed that his thoughts at that time were simply ironic.

It was precisely because the power fluctuation he sensed from Master Zhou was very weak at that time, so Yang Haoran didn't pay much attention. If he had paid attention at that time and carefully observed the power fluctuations emanating from Master Zhou with his ghost eye, he would have discovered that the power fluctuation on Master Zhou was related to Corpse Qi!

If he had realized that Master Zhou was acting strangely at that time, would the tragedy of Yangjia Bay have happened?

At this moment, Yang Haoran's heart was not only filled with anger but also with self-blame.

In fact, it was his own strength and vision that couldn't keep up. If it were Xu Meijing instead, the outcome would definitely have been different.

Yesterday, it was because Yang Haoran had contact with Master Zhou that there was a layer of Corpse Qi entwined outside his Yin Qi. However, this Corpse Qi was very faint, and Yang Haoran himself did not notice it. On the contrary, when Xu Meijing saw Yang Haoran for the first time, she immediately noticed that his aura was off. This was the difference in strength and vision between the two.

At this moment, seeing that Yang Haoran not only had no intention of letting him speak but was also manipulating Yin Qi to attack him frantically, Master Zhou chuckled and spoke.

"Taking action against Yangjia Bay was also a last resort for me. You've all seen these giant stone gates in front of us. I've already opened the others, and now only this last one remains. Tell me, can I just give up?"

With his hands behind his back, Master Zhou had a dignified demeanor. As he spoke, he occasionally waved his hand to dispel the Yin Qi approaching him.

Most of Yang Haoran's attacks were blocked by the corpse fiend, and only a few cunning attacks managed to break through the corpse fiend's defenses, but still couldn't harm Master Zhou.

"I must open this stone gate, but there is a very powerful spell on it. Even I had no way to deal with this spell initially. It was only after a long study that I found a feasible solution. Although this method is somewhat cruel, it won't cause me any harm. What I came up with is to use strong Corpse Qi to defile this spell, gradually eroding its power."

Casually dispersing an incoming wave of Yin Qi, Master Zhou chuckled and continued, "To obtain strong Corpse Qi, zombies are naturally the first choice. However, I won't waste the corpse fiend that I painstakingly crafted. So I thought of using a grade lower than the corpse fiend, the corpse puppet."

Master Zhou looked at Yang Haoran, then glanced at Xu Meijing, who hadn't spoken or made any movements. He smiled happily, seeming to feel that the appearance of Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing not only didn't cause him trouble but also seemed like a good thing.

The continuous rumbling that had never stopped finally ceased after Master Zhou finished speaking. The gazes of the three were all directed towards the tightly closed stone gate.

On the huge stone gate, the intricate spell still existed, but the released golden light was no longer as dazzling as before. The golden light was still there, but it had dimmed quite a bit.

In front of the stone gate, there was a large area of foul-smelling grayish-white liquid, and those terrifying corpse puppets were nowhere to be seen.

Without the corpse puppets crashing into the stone gate, the entire cave naturally ceased the continuous rumbling caused by the impacts.

"Hehe, the spell is still there. It seems it's time to use the blood of you two," Master Zhou withdrew his gaze from the stone gate and looked at Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, smiling as he spoke.

Xu Meijing, who had been silent and inactive, also smiled when she heard Master Zhou's words. Her hands were in her pockets, and her gaze towards Master Zhou was full of mockery.

"Oh, you seem quite confident?" Xu Meijing's tone was lofty as she asked with a smile.

Master Zhou remained unchanged, nodding with a smile, and said, "Of course. If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't have been able to come this far today. Although you are much stronger than Haoran and a bit troublesome to deal with, I'm not without any preparations. I had already considered this yesterday, so I made some preparations in advance."

Speaking here, Master Zhou looked at Yang Haoran, who had a fierce expression, and asked with a smile, "Haoran, do you remember the talisman I lent you?"

As soon as Master Zhou said this, Yang Haoran's face suddenly changed drastically, and he inwardly cursed!

He just remembered the talisman that Master Zhou had lent him yesterday, the talisman that Master Zhou repeatedly urged him to return in the future!

Originally, he thought that this talisman should have been Master Zhou's life-saving treasure. Master Zhou had been practicing as a Yin Yang Master for so many years without any accidents. It was very likely that it was related to this talisman. But now, everything seemed to be completely different!

Just as a bad premonition arose in his heart, Yang Haoran hadn't had time to react, and a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted from his body. However, this powerful wave of energy did not belong to him.
