Chapter 687: Chapter 485: Black Evil Corpse

Watching Li Yi and Yang Wei effortlessly evade the Evil God’s hooks, Hai Li and Mei Ling, adventurers of this world, were shocked. The Evil God’s hooks had snatched away countless powerful adventurers, and none of those taken away had ever returned alive.

Those powerful adventurers had indeed tried to find ways to resist the Evil God’s hooks.

But without exception, they all failed.

The fishing line couldn’t be severed, the hook couldn’t be destroyed, and even hiding inside a building was useless—the Evil God’s hook could ignore the protection of the colossal corpse.

Due to the existence of these hooks, the world had never produced top-class powerhouses. Even powerful adventurers dared not reveal their strength, choosing instead to hide in the corners of this world to avoid being noticed and hooked away by the Evil God.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi and Yang Wei managed to dismantle the unsolvable Evil God’s hook with ease today.

At this moment.

Hai Li and Mei Ling seemed to see hope for the future.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Li Yi and Yang Wei paid a considerable price to counter the Evil God’s hook, with the former losing ten years of life span and the latter wasting a doll that could substitute for death, a supernatural artifact from World No. 36.

"Quick, let’s get out of here."

Li Yi shouted, his expression grave, without the joy of fending off the hook, as he felt the danger hadn’t ended yet. They were all still carrying the curse of the Evil God, and the longer they stayed in this Dark World, the worse things would become.

The group quickened their pace, passing through the sea of fire and successfully escaping.

But ahead was still a stretch of darkness.

Fortunately, there were no monster attacks, allowing them to move faster, crossing five kilometers in one go.

During this period, the surroundings were unexpectedly quiet.

No sounds of monsters, no hellfire, and the buildings in the distance started showing lights, indicating that the dark area was about to end. Just a little further, they could leave here and seek shelter in a normal building.

Li Yi’s mission on this trip could be considered successfully completed.

But reality was not as beautiful as imagined.

Just when they were about to walk out of the dark area, Li Yi discovered a colossal corpse sitting in the middle of the road. This corpse was entirely black, had four arms, no facial features, only one gigantic eye with vertical pupils, like a creature standing at the top of the biological chain, and at this moment, it was gazing at everyone.

"Is it the colossal corpse?" someone exclaimed.

Such a tall body inevitably made people think of the colossal corpse inside the building.

But the colossal corpse inside the building lacked vitality and emitted a peculiar energy to protect it from monster invasion. Yet, the giant corpse before them was filled with a dark aura and was not devoid of life; instead, it showed a massive surge of vitality.

Clearly, the impeding corpse was not a dead thing, but a living creature.

"It’s not the colossal corpse, it’s a monster. No wonder there weren’t any dangers along the route—a truly perilous entity lies here," Yang Wei suddenly paused, glancing around.

They were now close to escaping the darkness, and he didn’t want to tangle with this evil object, preferring to find an opportunity to slip away.

Li Yi frowned too, unwilling to confront such a thing, as it appeared terrifying. Just the aura it leaked made his soul alert. If they engaged in combat, unexpected mishaps might occur, and Xuan Yuezi shouldn’t act recklessly.

Otherwise, great disasters would descend from the darkness.

The depths of this world were astonishing; upon truly facing it, one realized crises existed regardless of one’s strength.

On the enormous black corpse, the vertical pupil eye slightly rotated, and the four arms drew four weapons from the enveloping darkness—a sword, an axe, a hammer, and a staff—as if readying for battle.

Yet, as the massive corpse moved, a terrifying storm swept over, almost toppling every person, enveloped by an evil presence suffocatingly overwhelming.

Moreover, abruptly, the giant black corpse advanced.

Its large stature moved with astonishing speed, in a blur, it reached everyone, its weapons slashing down before anyone could respond.

"This speed..." Li Yi’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively operating Gang Qi and activating his Mana.

Silver Gang Qi and red Mana intertwined, consolidating on the Jiao Long Armor, granting him unimaginable defense.

Yet even so, one swipe felt like being hit by a speeding train; the Mana and Gang Qi exploded instantly, his sturdy physique couldn’t withstand that power, and he was sent flying, tumbling for several rounds before halting.

But Li Yi appeared unscathed, swiftly standing up, as the sound of Dragon and Tiger Energy resonated from him.

It was the Dragon and Tiger Energy bestowed by Xuan Yuezi earlier that protected him.

Otherwise, this strike would have been truly perilous.

Yang Wei, ahead, was equally unfortunate, being struck by the hammer, and his body immediately caved into the ground. The nearby surface cracked uniformly, forming a pit, and his entire being was embedded within, disappearing, unknown how deep he’d been smashed.

The axe and the sword targeted Xuan Yuezi, as the evil giant corpse sensed Xuan Yuezi to be the greatest threat, and thus concentrated its strength against him.

However, at that instant, Xuan Yuezi shone with Divine Light, cloud rose beneath feet, and above crowned the Liangyuan Divine Flower and Mana Flower bloom, instantly launching Dragon and Tiger Energy skyward, and a True Dragon alongside a fierce tiger roared forth to meet the axe and sword.

Boom!

The surrounding vacuum exploded, the overwhelming aftereffects spread, like a giant bomb detonating amidst them.

The next moment.

At the center of the roaring energy, a pitch-black arm tightly grasping a treasure sword was flung out, the massive sword fell to the ground with blood continuously dripping from the severed arm.

Following that, there was another loud boom echoing in the distance.

A hand axe as tall as half a building flew out, with cracks all over it, as if it could shatter at any moment.

In this exchange of blows, the massive black corpse seemed to be at a disadvantage, stumbling backward with each step causing a tremor around it, leaving clear giant footprints on the ground, while its huge vertical pupil kept turning.

It seemed quite shocked and somewhat frightened.

Apparently, it didn’t expect to be overpowered.

"Do you really think I can’t subdue you?" Xuan Yuezi was furious, and she also sensed Li Yi’s aura.

Only after confirming it, she felt relieved.

After all, she had prepared beforehand, channeling her mana onto Li Yi to ensure his safety, but she hadn’t expected the evil object to be so unreasonable, charging up with the intent to kill everyone in one blow, completely disregarding her status as a Tri-Floral Realm cultivation expert.

If it weren’t for the dread of the powerful being in the depths of the dark sky, she would agree to be so submissive.

"Li Yi, you take the others and leave first. Once I kill it, I will definitely expose myself, and by then it will be tough to protect you. Be careful." Xuan Yuezi took a deep breath, knowing she could no longer remain hidden.

Without exposing her strength, she couldn’t kill the evil object.

Yet, by exposing her strength, it would lead to more beings hunting her.

But, by now, Xuan Yuezi couldn’t care about that much.

"Okay, Fairy be careful. If there’s a chance, you should leave this world first and don’t worry about me. I have a Dao Artifact to protect myself and won’t be in danger." Li Yi nodded, then amidst the aftermath, he found Yu Chuan, Ning Wu, Hai Li, and others. Without further ado, he channeled his mana, generating auspicious clouds to swiftly carry them away.

"Wei is still over there," Ning Wu immediately reminded.

She was very concerned about Yang Wei.

"If he lives, great. If he dies, it’s no matter... No, this guy won’t die; he always manages to survive somehow." Li Yi remained expressionless, continuing to flee, for he alone knew that the Yang Wei wasn’t a real person but a supernatural product, because he had seen the real entity behind him in the Ghost Post Office, named Yang Jian, a genuine Ghost Tamer.

And Yang Wei did not house a fierce ghost, thus he was a counterfeit.

While Li Yi was escaping, the black corpse had no intention of letting go so easily.

In an instant, a beam of light shot out from the eerie vertical pupil, heading straight for Li Yi.

But at the next moment.

An ancient scroll appeared out of nowhere, suddenly unfurling before them, so the menacing gaze, falling upon this ancient painting scroll, vanished without a trace, not even causing a ripple.

Xuan Yuezi stood on the Heavenly Dao Map, like a fairy emerging from the painting, her grace was unmatched, at this moment the Dragon and Tiger Power coiled around her, making her appear like a deity descended onto the world.

"To make me use the Inheritance Dao Artifact, the Heavenly Dao Map, if I do not slay you today, it would tarnish the name of the Seven Immortals." Her anger was unabated, raising her hand, infusing the Dragon and Tiger Power into the Heavenly Dao Map.

In an instant, the Dao Map unfurled as if the heavens and earth were sweeping by, aiming to engulf the evil object in front of it.

The huge black corpse seemed to sense the crisis it faced, clutching a cudgel and hammer, it tried desperately to fight back, but to no avail, its attacks couldn’t break through this Inheritance Dao Artifact or harm Xuan Yuezi in the slightest, and that massive vertical pupil began frantically spinning, trembling, as if utterly terrified.

"Kill!"

Xuan Yuezi cast a sigil and shouted again.

Within the Heavenly Dao Map, a burst of limitless light erupted, in an instant, the massive black corpse exploded into pieces, with blood and flesh drenching the Heavenly Dao scroll, which absorbed them, turning them into nourishment for repairing the Dao Artifact.

But just after finishing off the massive black corpse.

Countless cracks appeared in the sky, with eerie black hair dangling down, countless crimson fishhooks floating, and eyes filled with evil appearing in the depths of the darkness, densely covering the firmament, all these eyes fixed on Xuan Yuezi, regarding her as an enemy that must be eliminated.

"Go!"

Xuan Yuezi had anticipated this scene long before; she didn’t want to entangle further, stepping on the Heavenly Dao Map and sprouting a pure white cloud, fleeing at unimaginable speed in the opposite direction.

She aimed to divert danger, to protect Li Yi’s safety, ensuring Li Yi would not be targeted by the evil beings.

Before leaving, Xuan Yuezi struck across the air, releasing a Dragon and Tiger Power attack through the dark sky.

In the darkness, the beings suffered severe injuries, with blood and flesh falling, while cries of anger echoed due to the distress, shaking the nearby buildings until they were all cracked, as if about to collapse at any moment.

"Puny." Xuan Yuezi glanced sideways, dismissing them, continuing to flee while clutching a glowing Dragon Scale, absorbing its immense spiritual energy to maintain her peak state, preparing for a fierce battle.

Not until everyone had left.

Yang Wei then emerged from the ground.

Looking up, he found nothing, no enemies, no allies, he was just standing alone in the big pit.

"How come they all left before I’m even out?" Yang Wei widened his eyes, feeling somewhat abandoned.
