Chapter 9
After a series of vigorous left and right tosses.
Yi Chen had basically completed his testing, arriving at a conclusion.
That is, for such corporeal evil spirits, pure physical attacks actually do deal a certain damage, only that the force is weakened by the protective corpse qi, barely transmitting one-tenth of its power.
Only by breaking through that protective corpse qi can the force have more room to play.@@pleting the tests, Yi Chen stopped his actions, holding onto the ankle of the female corpse bride, pondering.
He sensed something was amiss.
This was also why he left the female corpse bride “alive”; otherwise, by stimulating pure Yang qi, with his brutally violent method of left and right smashing, ten female jiangshis would have been dead.
Aside from the first hit, Yi Chen mainly used pure physical strength to smash the female jiangshi subsequently.
Even so, the female corpse bride has now dissipated her corpse qi, her head deformed, tormented to the point that the person controlling her might not recognize this was their refined corpse.
“Wow, just as I was enjoying it, why did Taoist Master Yi suddenly stop?”
“I have no idea. Perhaps Taoist Master is concocting some other scheme. His heart is dirty like those who strategize; he even tricked a jiangshi before.” Wang Lao Si peeked in the crowd, looking scared but curious.
...
Master Lianhua agreed, convincing everyone to consent, leading to the current scene.
The group followed the jiangshi out of the town to a small wooden house.
A signboard hung on the house’s entrance, bearing the three characters “Fushou Tang” (Blessing and Longevity Hall), with a soul-attracting flag and two high quality redwood coffins placed upright in the yard.
“Eh, isn’t this the house of Boss Shi of the coffin shop? Why have we come here?” A young man in the crowd, noticing the white flag fluttering in the wind, expressed his astonishment.
Yi Chen gestured for the others to stop following, while he continued to tail the corpse bride.
Under the cover of night, Yi Chen failed to notice that as the corpse qi gradually dissipated, the deformed head of the female corpse bride slowly returned to normal, her previously ghastly complexion now revealing her delicate features.
Yet, as the corpse qi continued to fade, the female corpse bride’s hopping grew lower and slower until she couldn’t even hop over the wall of Fushou Tang.
Just then, the door creaked open, and a dark figure lifted the female corpse bride into the yard by her waist.
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
“There’s definitely something fishy. Master, cover for me outside.”
“I’ll go have a look .” Yi Chen shouted to Master Lianhua before approaching the house’s entrance, contemplating for a moment, then smiling. Kicking the door open, the doors shattered, impressing the onlookers.
