Chapter 93

This fire burned for the entire afternoon, almost completely destroying the house. The wooden roof and the two-story structure inside were all reduced to ashes, leaving only broken walls. Dozens of large holes allowed the setting sun to shine through. From the few released baique (a type of bird), it seemed that the giant corpse had been burned to death.

But Chuci did not feel the slightest bit relieved. The alchemy array beneath his feet faintly transmitted a counter-energy shock, and the main god did not remind Chuci that the kill was complete. However, it was obvious that the giant corpse's power had greatly weakened. Otherwise, with the current situation, as the sun set and large shadows provided ample space for it to move, if the giant corpse were to rush out and wreak havoc, drawing the essence and blood of the living, even Chuci would be unable to stop it.

But the giant corpse did not do that. Instead, it still tried to escape by burrowing underground, which showed a gap in intelligence. Even if the giant corpse had just gained a bit of wisdom, it did not know how to assess the situation.

It didn't understand, but Chuci did! Since the giant corpse's survival exceeded his calculations, he decided to change the plan and attack all at once.

"Ze-stali (Steel Body) moc-?wiat?a (Power of Light)" Wei Lan immediately cast two enhancement spells on the martial officer. At the same time, Chuci clasped his hands together, and in a flash of light, he forged dozens of weapons—swords, spears, halberds, axes, and more, everything one could imagine!

"Attack!" Chuci had no intention of putting Wei Lan or贞子 (Zhenzi) at risk. Even if the giant corpse was near death, he only sent the puppets, which had no flesh or vital energy, to attack, ensuring that the giant corpse could not recover.

The martial officer, holding a sword, immediately had the white light of the light element spread to his weapon. He led a group of puppet soldiers into the house.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, a roar was heard, and a massive giant corpse, several meters tall, burst out of the ground, slapping the martial officer with a palm the size of a fan. If that palm had hit the martial officer's head, the automaton would have been destroyed.

It had been hiding at the bottom, digging tunnels with its hands. Physical digging was something Chuci could not prevent. Fortunately, Chuci had sent the automaton forward by chance. The slight vibrations from the ground made the giant corpse think someone had entered, so it quickly emerged to kill and drink blood, replenishing its corpse energy.

"Damn! That scared me!" Chuci, whose eyes were linked to the martial officer, was also startled by the sudden ambush. The martial officer then displayed an extremely high level of martial arts, performing an iron board bridge, bending backward almost to a 90-degree angle. The putrid, decaying hand swept over his head and hit another puppet, instantly turning it into broken clay!

But the giant corpse's aggression was only effective with the first ambush. With shared vision, the spell officer stood outside the house, using precise single-target spells to continuously attack the giant corpse—ice, lightning, and rock hands, all slowing down the giant corpse's movements.

The puppets charged one by one. Although they were quickly scattered by the giant corpse, some managed to pierce it with their weapons, causing wounds that spewed a mixture of green and white liquid, the highly toxic blood of the giant corpse. Often, before the giant corpse could kill the puppet again, the puppet was already corroded by the corpse blood.

These wounds, though small, accumulated and affected the giant corpse's agility. With a roar, the giant corpse emitted a visible, emerald-green corpse energy from its body, concentrating it on the wounds to heal them. It attacked while healing, almost unstoppable.

The martial officer also swung his sword and spear, which, enhanced by the light element, naturally restrained dark and evil creatures. Even if not specialized, the effect was still about 70-80% effective. The areas where the giant corpse was cut were like being burned by fire, emitting a scorched, putrid smell. Even with the corpse energy covering it, the healing speed was extremely slow. The putrid smell and corpse blood were both attack methods of the giant corpse, containing deadly toxins and hormones that could cause mental fatigue in humans. However, these were ineffective against automata and puppets.

The martial officer, armed with weapons that could threaten the giant corpse, continuously inflicted damage, hiding behind the puppets when attacked. The spell officer stood outside, using magic to restrict the giant corpse's movements and prevent it from escaping. Chuci, from a distance, continuously summoned disposable puppets, while Wei Lan and Zhenzi protected themselves.

This battle strategy was like a summoner's, with powerful experts protecting themselves and summoning waves of minions to eliminate the enemy. This method was safe and reliable; even if the minions couldn't kill the enemy, they could still retreat safely.

With the eternal alchemy passive, Chuci could summon disposable puppets as easily as eating or drinking. He had already consumed several energy drinks and was still energetic, ready for another soccer match.

The giant corpse, however, could not sustain the fight. Most of its corpse energy was used to repair its body, and it could not replenish it. Finally, the martial officer found a weakness and slashed with a long sword, severing the giant corpse's arm at the elbow. A spray of green corpse blood flew out, but the severed arm did not immediately lose its vitality and flew out of the house, sweeping toward Chuci and the others.

The sky—turned dark!

"Ahh, save me!" Fu Tianqiu and the others quickly retreated. Facing such a terrifying existence, even Qingfeng Yuechi, with her high martial arts, found it difficult to resist.

At this moment, Wei Lan stood in front, extending her slender index finger and pointing at the approaching corpse hand. The tip of her finger, covered in fine dragon scales, blocked the pervasive corpse poison. Her red lips parted, and she spat out a dragon flame, burning the corpse hand to ashes.

The giant corpse burst out of the house, its massive body, nearly ten meters tall, coming into view. Chuci and the others saw this enormous, terrifying creature for the first time. Its rotting, bloated body was covered in tumors, and its large head had two rows of yellow, poisonous teeth. The dense corpse energy made the night even more sinister.

Fortunately, the giant corpse had already consumed a lot of corpse energy and strength, and it was missing one arm. Once it emerged, the non-human-type magical puppets immediately attacked. The magical spider sprayed silk, a hellish specialty that could not be broken by brute force. The gargoyle swung its mace, smashing the giant corpse's other arm, causing it to twist and collapse, hanging limply from the shoulder. Then came the magical eagle, whose talons had already blinded the giant corpse. The magical black panther, magical rhinoceros, and magical lion-tiger beast, completely ignoring the corpse poison, pounced on the giant corpse, tearing and biting it like a brutal jungle fight, with beasts fighting over food.

Wait, isn't this supposed to be about exorcising demons? How did the scene change so much?

Fu Tianqiu looked at Chuci speechlessly. As a high-ranking official, he had seen many other mystical techniques, but Chuci's methods were truly... unheard of.

After the giant corpse was dismembered by the magical puppets, it could no longer form a complete body, and its corpse energy became very loose, unable to coalesce and repair itself. At this point, it was almost completely defenseless. Chuci clasped his hands together and smiled lightly, "This is excellent material."
