Is this what a zombie is?

47. The bloody battle begins

The moment Chen Bo saw Attorney Luo, his face turned incredibly grim.

He had his suspicions, thinking that Jiang Chen and Attorney Luo were working together to lure him into a trap.

But he had witnessed Jiang Chen's sneak attack on Lawyer Luo. He had been caught off guard by the powerful and fierce palm strike, and it had cost him his life.

He couldn't understand how Attorney Luo had survived, especially since he even had the Gu worms to test him.

He was still not entirely at ease, so he sent a vengeful cat to destroy the evidence.

"You...you're still alive? I clearly..."

"You sent this guy just to finish me off, didn't you?"

Attorney Luo pulled out the kitten-sized vengeful cat, as if it had been grabbed by the scruff of its neck. The cat's eyes were now clear, without the ferocity it had shown before.

"Master, master, save meow!"

"You are indeed very cautious, but unfortunately it's a cat."

Attorney Luo's statement is merely stating a fact: no matter how many vengeful spirits a vengeful cat is composed of, or what kind of vicious black magic it was created with, its soul essence is still that of a cat.

They also have a cat here, a cat named "Master Cat," who has an absolute natural dominance.

But to Uncle Chen, Lawyer Luo's words carried a slow, sarcastic tone, as if he were saying...

You, an old fox who has lived for over a hundred years, are being completely outmaneuvered by Jiang Chen, a greenhorn just starting out, and even by this blind man. Your subordinates are utterly useless.

"What a bunch of trash, go! Kill them!"

Uncle Chen formed hand seals, commanding the seven soul corpses to launch another attack, fiercely lunging at Lawyer Luo.

Attorney Luo's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the sickle tightly with both hands. Facing the fierce wind, he advanced instead of retreating, and charged forward fiercely.

boom--

The Grim Reaper's scythe clashed with the steel claws of the Seven Soul Corpses, sparks flying in the dim underground space.

An unimaginable, terrifying force traveled along the hilt of the knife, causing Lawyer Luo's hands, which were gripping the sickle, to go numb.

He was secretly alarmed; the monster's power far exceeded his expectations.

More importantly, Attorney Luo's abilities are insufficient to gain an advantage against the Seven Soul Corpses.

Attorney Luo exerted all his strength and barely managed to force the Seven Soul Corpses back half a step.

He didn't linger in the fight, using the recoil to quickly retreat back to Jiang Chen's side. The two stood back to back, warily watching the powerful enemy ahead.

"Are you alright?" Attorney Luo asked in a deep voice.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen's neck.

Jiang Chen had a deep purple palm print on his neck, left by the zombie in the illusion.

The five fingers were deeply embedded, and the cervical vertebrae beneath the skin were even fractured.

"Well……"

Jiang Chen clutched his neck, the intense pain and suffocation making his vision blur and rendering him completely unable to answer Attorney Luo's questions.

It was at this moment that the Resurrection Incense he had inhaled began to take effect.

Jiang Chen felt a stream of energy flow into his body from the Rejuvenating Incense on his chest, and after it traveled through his limbs and bones, his physical condition was restored.

The fractured cervical vertebrae healed quickly without leaving a trace of crack, and the dark blue handprint on the neck melted away as quickly as ice and snow.

Witnessing this scene, Uncle Chen's eyes blazed with even more intense greed.

To bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones—this was what he had been searching for and dreaming of for many years.

His injuries were fully healed, and the Yin energy and corpse energy that had been corroding his body were completely eliminated, rendering all the debuffs on Jiang Chen ineffective.

As he stood up, the electric patterns on his body flashed with a deep blue light, and arcs of electricity wrapped around him, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth. Even the ferocious Seven Soul Corpses were instinctively afraid.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

The two stood side by side, facing Chen Bo in front of the altar, the seven-souled corpse exuding a terrifying aura.

A bloody battle has officially begun.

Lawyer Luo "came back to life," and Jiang Chen was surrounded by lightning. One's lightning magic was incomparably fierce, and the other's abilities were unpredictable, both of which made Uncle Chen very wary.

So when the two showed signs of joining forces, he immediately tried to nip it in the bud, but unfortunately he failed.

Now the worst has happened: these two are now on his opposite side, forming a united front.

Do you think that will make him afraid?

He had planned his whole life and lay low for thirty years, all for this day. How could he possibly let all his years of hard work go to waste?

"Fine, fine...you forced me to do this!"

"You two little bastards are too green to kill me!"

A resolute glint flashed in Uncle Chen's eyes. He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his palm.

Then he smeared the blood from the tip of his tongue onto his face.

Judging from his posture, you can tell he's about to unleash his ultimate move, his trump card.

Can Jiang Chen let him release it?

Of course not, interrupting the opponent's spellcasting is the best option.

"Interrupt him!"

Jiang Chen let out a low shout, exerted force with his feet, and his whole body transformed into a bright blue afterimage. Lightning surged in his palm, heading straight for Uncle Chen's face.

He wanted to nip all dangers in the bud!

However, since Uncle Chen dared to perform magic in front of them, how could he be completely unprepared?

Just as Jiang Chen was about to get close, the dozen or so old wine jars around the altar that seemed to be just decorations suddenly exploded all at once.

"Bang bang bang—"

Thick black smoke billowed from the broken pottery jar, and from within the smoke, dozens of hideous and strangely shaped demons roared and surged out one after another.

They were filled with resentment, clearly the souls of those who died violent deaths, which Chen Bo had refined and imprisoned here using secret methods.

These evil spirits formed a formation, layer upon layer, blocking Chen Bo's path. Even when facing Jiang Chen's lightning magic, they showed no fear, bravely shielding Chen Bo from harm.

Lightning struck.

The three demons at the front didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly reduced to ashes in the lightning.

But the remaining evil spirits kept coming, relentlessly entangled Jiang Chen, and slowed him down.

At the same time, the Seven Soul Corpses, which had been eyeing the scene with predatory intent, let out a muffled roar, becoming an obstacle in Lawyer Luo's path.

The monster felt no pain and charged forward despite the sharpness of the Grim Reaper's scythe, forcing Lawyer Luo to defend himself.

The seven-souled corpses and the evil spirits bought Chen Bo enough time; the blood smeared on his face from the tip of his tongue seemed almost alive.

The words darted and writhed across his face, outlining a hideous and terrifying demonic mask.

It had a blue face and fangs, a bloody mouth hanging upside down, and even two streaks of bloody tears at the corners of its eyes.

In this dark and bloody pit of bones, the blood-red mask on his face writhed, making him look exactly like a vengeful demon crawling out of the depths of hell.

An evil aura, even colder than that of the Seven Soul Corpses, suddenly erupted from his body.
