Chapter 95 - 94: The Little Brat Is Actually Hinting at Me

Chapter 95: Chapter 94: The Little Brat Is Actually Hinting at Me

He Xiaotian’s footsteps echoed through the small basement. He stepped past seven corpses filled with mercury and approached a mahogany coffin.

He raised the iron hammer in his hand, planning to crush this "corpse" that had yet to fully emerge and send it to reunite with Li Wencai. A family reunion.

BOOM!

But before He Xiaotian could bring the heavy hammer down, the mahogany coffin’s lid flew open violently.

HISS!

The moment the coffin lid touched the raging cyan flames, all the moisture within it evaporated instantly, turning it into a piece of charcoal.

It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The ultimate realm of *Fire-refined Golden Body*, the Uncovered Golden Body and its +10 Wood-Annihilating Fire Aura, was no mere decoration.

A male corpse, about 185 centimeters tall, shot its hands out with a ferocious expression, stabbing toward He Xiaotian’s chest.

From the looks of it, it clearly wanted to rip his heart out.

CLINK! CLINK!

Its long, sharp fingernails were clearly unable to pierce He Xiaotian’s tough skin.

The corpse’s attack failed, and it was even sent flying out of the coffin, crashing into a large patch of candles.

"Awkward, isn’t it?"

He Xiaotian asked with a smile.

’Looks like the corpse-refining materials that Gourmet Kitchen gave Li Wencai were pretty high-grade.’

’Otherwise, how could this corpse have developed a hint of intelligence in just six short months?’

He stomped his right foot, unleashing his Eight Steps Chasing Cicada Qinggong. He Xiaotian moved like a phantom, appearing before the male corpse in an instant.

ROAR!

This sudden development startled the male corpse.

It then let out a low, bestial growl and thrust its arms toward He Xiaotian’s eyes.

"Honestly."

As he spoke, he raised his iron hammer and slammed it against the corpse’s hands.

BANG! BANG!

He Xiaotian controlled his strength and didn’t shatter the male corpse.

Instead, he ’pinned’ it to the wall.

ROAR!!

The male corpse bared its teeth at He Xiaotian, as if threatening him not to come any closer.

"Interesting. So because it’s a corpse, it has no moisture, which makes its density higher and greatly increases its defense? Its strength seems to be about that of three adult men, and the look in its eyes is mostly like that of a crazed beast.

All things considered, this is a corpse refinement that couldn’t be more of a failure. Li Wencai’s son wasn’t born with a yin fate, nor did he die during a yin hour. This basement isn’t a land of fourfold yin, either.

If not for the decent materials, Li Wencai probably couldn’t have even refined this shoddy excuse for a corpse. You poor bastard, maybe your grandson wasn’t your grandson after all. Otherwise, why didn’t the black-robed figure turn your son into a malevolent spirit too? Why help you refine a corpse instead?"

After saying his piece, He Xiaotian was no longer in the mood to study the male corpse.

He stepped forward, reached out his right hand, and placed it on its head.

CRACK!

The hard skull shattered in an instant, and cyan flames flowed down his arm into the male corpse’s body.

SIZZLE!!

The sound of intense burning crackled, and in a few moments, it was reduced to nothing but ash.

[Ding! You have slain one failed ’corpse’ and gained 300 Experience Points.]

’As expected, it was only worth 300 Experience Points.’

’Even lousy paranormals like Zhao Lei and Zhou Yun could probably deal with it easily.’

He Xiaotian glanced at the top left of his vision, at his remaining Experience Points.

[52,800]

’I killed about one hundred fifty ghouls and got seven thousand five hundred Experience Points.’

’Add to that the three hundred from this failed ’corpse’...’

’That’s seven thousand eight hundred in total.’

"The haul’s not bad."

With that, he stored his twin hammers in his storage space, left the basement, and headed for the ancestral hall.

When He Xiaotian arrived, he immediately saw Lei Yang and Captain Su smoking.

"You’re back?"

"All taken care of."

"Good to hear."

Then, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"There’s something I’m not sure if I should say." He Xiaotian hesitated for a moment but decided it was better to speak up. After all, they were the ones involved; it wasn’t right to keep them in the dark.

"You mean about us being abandoned?" Lei Yang said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a smug look on his face.

"?!"

"Don’t be surprised. Su just logged into the Cleaner homepage. All hell has broken loose over at the Medical University. Wouldn’t I be an idiot if I couldn’t figure it out? What are the lives of a few team members compared to the seal at the Medical University?

If the thing trapped inside gets out, it’ll be a massive disaster for Shanghai. No one expected that behind the Mirror Spirits and Dream Eyes, there was yet another power at work.

But really, I don’t know if we should call ourselves lucky or unlucky. Lucky, because we ran into an X-factor like you, which foiled Gourmet Kitchen’s plan and saved all our lives. Unlucky, because the anomalous items the vice-minister requested were just too damn useless.

Aside from the potion we drank earlier that enhances resistance to Illusion Techniques, only the Immobilization Talisman came in handy at the last critical moment. If we’d known there were so many Mirror Spirits and Dream Eyes, who the hell would chase them with Talismans that can only immobilize one person at a time?!"

Their initial plan was quite neat: use the Immobilization Talisman when the Mirror Spirit tried to escape.

But they never expected that not only was there a mole on the team, but the number of malevolent spirits also far exceeded their imagination.

It had to be said, Liang Kun’s "coating" ability was just too broken.

He had silently smuggled out so many malevolent spirits from the Medical University.

He Xiaotian: "..."

’This little bastard... he keeps bringing up the Immobilization Talisman. Does he think I’m going to secretly keep it?’

"Your tablet and the Immobilization Talisman."

He casually reached into his clothes, pulling the tablet and the yellow paper talisman from his storage space, and handed them over.

Captain Su reached out and took them with a chuckle.

"Call 037 and have them come pick us up."

While Lei Yang was speaking, He Xiaotian had already taken out some Netherworld Currency, lit it, and thrown it on the ground.

"???"

The two captains were dumbfounded by his actions.

’Didn’t I just hint at it a few times?’

’Was it really necessary to get so pissed off that you’re already burning paper money for us?’

GULP! Captain Su swallowed hard, looked at Lei Yang, and said, trembling, "I told you not to do that! You should have just said what you meant directly. Now look, he’s burning joss paper for us!"

"X, it’s just one Immobilization Talisman! If you want it, just take it! There’s no need to kill us for it. Besides, an Immobilization Talisman isn’t even that much of a treasure."

Listening to them go back and forth, He Xiaotian felt his face darken.

’Are you two premium VIPs on Qidian or something? Just how many novels have you read to imagine a whole drama where I’m about to kill you to silence you?’

"I’m hailing a ride! What in the world is going on in your heads?"

’Hailing a ride? Bullshit!!’

’Who the hell hails a ride by burning joss paper?’

Five minutes later, Lei Yang and Captain Su stared, utterly bewildered, at the ghostly Bentley that had pulled up in front of them.

’You really were fucking hailing a ride?!’
