Chapter 23 - Ferocious Giant Corpse!

Rain poured down from the sky. The young man in white sensed something as he moved quickly. Soon, the three of them arrived at a barren field in Nan Nong Bo.

This barren field has long grown weeds that were half the height of a person. The three of them stopped by the side of the field and looked at the center of the field. All of them were shocked.

Crack! Crack!

There was a biting sound. In the middle of the field, a tall and burly figure was munching on a long-haired roe deer.

"This… this is the demon? It's too tall!"

The younger of the two brothers, Zhang Wen, gulped. The tall and burly figure was two to three meters tall and extremely muscular.

With the help of the lightning, the three of them could clearly see the appearance of the burly figure.

This was a creature with dark green skin and slightly rotten flesh. It was muscular with sharp teeth and a green face. It was not human at all. There was a faint rotten smell in the moist air near it!

"Corpse… This is a reanimated corpse. How can it be so tall? It's like a little giant!"

The white-robed youth whispered with a solemn expression.

Reanimated corpses were similar to zombies but the difference was that zombies were mostly puppets refined by some evil people through special means. On the other hand, reanimated corpses were demons that were naturally formed under certain conditions after people died. They did not have much intelligence and ate flesh and blood.

The reanimated corpse in front of him was too tall. It could simply be called a giant corpse!

RUMBLE!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the fields. The giant corpse that was gnawing on the roe deer suddenly looked up. Its green face, with its fangs and rotting muscles, looked at the Young Master Bai and the other two by the field.

A pair of eyes flickered in the darkness!

"Uncle Wen, Uncle Xue! Be careful!"

Young Master Bai quickly reminded them.

Previously, Young Master Bai had sensed that there seemed to be a demon causing trouble in Nan Nong Bo, which was why the three of them came here. Now that they had discovered this giant corpse that was causing trouble, they decided to kill it.

"Vile creature! Come!"

Zhang Wen and Zhang Xue each pulled out their weapons at their waists. The former pulled out a knife while the latter pulled out a sword. They were on guard.

"ROAR!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the rotting throat of the giant corpse. It almost drowned out the thunder.

"BOOM!"

In the next second, the giant corpse stomped on the ground and pounced at the three of them like a cannonball.

The White Prince and the others immediately scattered. The huge corpse fell to the ground, causing the soft ground to cave in.

With the sound of air being torn apart, Zhang Xue held a long sword in his hand. Under the infusion of Qi, the sword blade had the Village Chief's Sword Qi around it, revealing its deep internal cultivation. He stabbed the sword towards the abdomen of the giant corpse.

"Psst!"

With a ripping sound, the blade sank more than half a foot in. Dark blood sprayed out. Zhang Xue was caught off guard. His eyes hurt as if they were on fire. He couldn't help but scream.

"Look out!"

Zhang Wen sounded from the side. The huge corpse was stabbed in the abdomen but it was not affected at all. Instead, it swung its huge arm and smashed it fiercely at Zhang Xue's head!

"Wind Splitting Saber Technique!"

In the nick of time, Zhang Xue rolled on the ground and avoided the giant corpse's attack. However, Zhang Wen did not stand by and watch. He slashed out with his saber, creating a violent sound as he wanted to cut the giant corpse in half.

"Psst!"

However, this slash filled with Qi could only cut two to three inches deep into the rotten but extremely tough muscles. It was difficult to cause effective damage to it.

Instead, the consecutive attacks made the giant corpse furious. A ferocious glint flashed in its dark green eyes as its two huge hands suddenly stretched out to grab Zhang Xue and Zhang Wen.

The two of them reacted quickly and nimbly, dodging backwards to avoid the giant corpse's grab.

Crack! Crack!

Unexpectedly, with a crisp sound, the giant corpse's arm extended by more than half a meter. This strange trick caught Zhang Xue and Zhang Wen off guard. Their throats were grabbed by the giant corpse's claws.

Just as the giant corpse was about to crush their necks, a white light suddenly flashed in the darkness!

"Whew!"

It was the Young Master Bai. He flicked his finger and white light shot out like a bullet, hitting the giant corpse's head.

Bang!

Blood splattered from the giant corpse's forehead, revealing a bloody hole the size of a baby's fist after the sound of the explosion.

The power of this flick was extremely shocking!

"Huh? I couldn't pierce its skull? Did I use too much magic power before this?"

Young Master Bai's expression changed slightly. He was prepared to kill the giant corpse in one strike, but it did not work. This giant corpse was far beyond ordinary reanimated corpses and its bones were harder than steel!

"ROAR!"

The giant corpse's head was attacked, which made it roar in anger. It reached out and threw Zhang Xue and Zhang Wen at Young Master Bai.

Young Master Bai originally formed a hand seal with one hand to continue attacking. When he saw this scene, he could not help but hesitate for a moment. This hesitation caused him to fall into danger!

BANG!

Zhang Xue and Zhang Wen were thrown twenty to thirty feet away by the huge corpse-like stones. Young Master Bai, who could not dodge in time, was also thrown to the ground in a sorry state.

"No… not good!"

The three of them felt a splitting pain all over their bodies and realized that things were going horribly wrong.

As expected, the attack succeeded. The huge corpse pounced on the three people who had fallen to the ground. Disgusting saliva flowed out of its bloody mouth. It wanted to eat them today!

However, at that moment, a tall figure rushed out from the side and slammed into the side of the giant corpse like a galloping beast.

Bang!

The tyrannical divine power erupted and sent the huge corpse flying two to three meters away before crashing to the ground.

"It's … it's him?"

The three of them were shocked to see that the person who had saved their lives was the black-clothed youth they had encountered in the temple!

The newcomer was Su Jie. He had been hiding from the rain in the temple but when he heard the deafening roar of the giant corpse, he was attracted by it.

"Is this thing… a demon? Is it the one doing evil at Nan Nong Bo?"

Su Jie was also stunned when he saw the huge corpse in front of him.

Su Jie's purpose in coming here was to deal with the murderer who might threaten his hometown. He originally thought that the murderer might be a beast or something but he did not expect it to be a demon!

"Is this the demon that Father mentioned?"

Su Jie's eyes lit up. He knew from Su Wu that there were demons and ghosts in this world that ordinary people could not deal with. He also wanted to see how strong these so-called demons could be!

"Get out of the way! This giant corpse is not something ordinary martial artists can deal with!"

At that moment, Young Master Bai and his companions stood up. The White Prince shouted as white light condensed between his fingers.

"Even two quasi-first-rate martial artists like us can't deal with the demon… He'll die!" The Zhang brothers' hearts were heavy.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Xue were both quasi-first-rate experts. Even when they joined forces, they were defeated by the giant corpse.

This unknown black-clothed youth wanted to fight this ferocious giant corpse? He was simply courting death!
