192: Chapter 192 Yin Sha Corpse Puppet

Mo Zixing tilted his head slightly, looking at Hu Jiuying hiding behind him, his brows furrowing slightly:

"Didn't you say the Elders who stayed behind were all dead?"

"I... I don't know either."

Hu Jiuying stared nervously at the large door:

"I thought they had long since..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a second Celestial Fox head poked through the crack in the door, followed immediately by a third.

The three Celestial Fox heads were squeezed side-by-side in the crack, their eyes hollow, their fur matted with blood and filth.

Immediately after.

Several claws reached out from the darkness behind the door, gripping the doorframe and pulling with force.

Clang.

The large door collapsed with a crash.

Mo Zixing narrowed his eyes to observe carefully, finally seeing clearly what was behind the door.

That was not three Celestial Foxes at all.

It was a bizarre monster formed by the corpses of three Celestial Foxes forcibly stitched together.

Three heads were stuck to the same torso, and claws attached to arms extended from various parts of the body.

Three tails tangled together dragged behind it.

Rotting flesh hung from the bones, and black liquid constantly dripped down, emitting a pungent stench.

How disgusting.

Mo Zixing couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Ugh..."

Hu Jiuying could no longer hold it back, covering her mouth and bending over to retch, both of her fox ears trembling violently:

"This... this is those three Elders..."

Mo Zixing's brows locked tight, and he pulled up his system panel.

[Target: Yin Sha Corpse Puppet]

[Cultivation: Golden Core Sixth Layer]

[A corpse puppet formed by the aggregation of multiple corpses by yin sha energy; it possesses neither life nor consciousness.]

Golden Core Sixth Layer.

Its strength is not considered strong.

But this image really is nauseating.

Mo Zixing tried hard not to observe the monster's grotesque appearance, focusing his attention on its movements instead.

Just then.

The corpse puppet moved again.

Its three heads opened their mouths simultaneously, yet made no sound.

Only clumps of rotting flesh fell from its face and mouth, hitting the ground.

The next second.

Its six legs exerted force simultaneously, and its massive body lunged violently toward Mo Zixing.

"Tsk."

Mo Zixing did not want to have intimate contact with such a thing.

He raised his hand and waved, and a full hundred Spirit Power Flying Swords instantly condensed around him.

Forming a sword formation that could be called airtight, it swept toward the corpse puppet to shred it.

Pfft.

Sshh.

The sound of cutting was incessant.

The Flying Swords easily tore through the corpse puppet's rotting flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the massive body was hacked into countless pieces of minced meat by the sword formation, scattered across the ground.

"Is it solved?"

Hu Jiuying poked her head out cautiously and asked.

Mo Zixing did not speak, only staring intently at the pile of minced meat on the ground.

Just as he had anticipated.

Before long, the minced meat on the ground began to squirm on its own, attracting and undergoing Fusion with each other at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not long after, it had reassembled into an even more grotesque corpse puppet, looking even more hideous than before.

"This... it can't be killed?"

Hu Jiuying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

"I suspect it wasn't destroyed thoroughly enough."

Mo Zixing said in a deep voice.

This corpse puppet itself has no life; it relies entirely on yin sha energy to aggregate the various parts of the corpses together.

Therefore, as long as the corpses exist, the yin sha energy will continue to gather them together endlessly.

Mo Zixing took a deep breath.

He didn't believe that if he chopped the corpse pieces into paste and burned them to ash, the yin sha energy could still re-aggregate them.

Just as he was preparing to act, Ling Lin's voice entered his mind:

"Master, this thing seems to have no life; it relies entirely on yin sha energy to support its movements."

"Without consciousness or a Divine Soul to resist, I can try to absorb the power within its body directly."

"Good."

Hearing this, Mo Zixing nodded in agreement.

If Ling Lin could really absorb some power while she was at it, that would naturally be even better.

He reached out and gestured, and Ling Lin returned to his hand.

As his Movement Technique was activated beneath his feet, his figure flashed, and he rushed forward holding his sword.

The corpse puppet roared, and its three tails lashed out like whips toward his entire body.

Mo Zixing shifted his footsteps left and right, weaving flexibly through the dense attacks.

At the same time, he condensed a few Spirit Power Flying Swords to strike.

Taking the opportunity while the corpse puppet was restrained by the Flying Swords, Ling Lin in Mo Zixing's hand turned into a beam of black light.

It fiercely pierced through the corpse puppet's three heads.

That was exactly where Ling Lin sensed the yin sha energy was most concentrated.

Hum!

Ling Lin's blade vibrated violently.

Mo Zixing released the sword hilt and quickly retreated a distance.

Large swathes of black mist surged out from the corpse puppet's wounds, as if being attracted, all pouring into the blade.

The corpse puppet's massive body began to convulse violently.

Its flesh decayed and dissolved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the black-spotted bones inside.

A pungent stench permeated the entire area.

In just over ten seconds.

That massive corpse puppet had completely turned into a pile of scattered broken bones on the ground.

Afterward, Ling Lin's blade vibrated.

A beam of black light flashed by.

That pile of broken bones turned into powder filling the sky, disappearing without a trace when the wind blew.

The temple returned to silence once again.

Mo Zixing gestured toward Ling Lin, summoning her back to his side.

Having absorbed all the yin sha energy of this Golden Core Sixth Layer corpse puppet, her strength seemed to have improved quite a bit.

She shouldn't be too far from the Golden Core Medium Grade rank now.

Behind him.

Hu Jiuying looked at the powder scattering in the air, her fox tail drooping, and she didn't speak for a long time:

"Thank you for letting them rest in peace."

After a good while, she slowly raised her head:

"Follow me, I will take you to get the ninghong fox core."
