Chapter 158 Corpse Demon
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan walked along the passage inside the cave, leaving behind a trail of corpses, all reduced to pools of blood, flesh, and bone. These were all the work of Huo Yuhao's corpse puppet, many of which were transformed from the corpse puppet of that evil soul master at the Soul King level, with only a few being the torn flesh and blood of living bandits.
The scene was a complete mess of flesh and bone, long since stripped of their original explosive power. Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan wouldn't be in any danger walking among them; they simply felt nauseous...
It was sticky and wet, with a smell of blood and rotting flesh.
Even for these two people who had long been weathered by life, experiencing such extreme sensations inevitably made them feel nauseous. Fearing they couldn't withstand the stench, they quickened their pace, hurrying away from this hellish scene.
But the deeper they went, the more blood, flesh, and bone fragments they encountered, and the stronger the stench of blood and rotting flesh became. Zhang Lexuan turned pale and vomited repeatedly.
Huo Yuhao wasn't in much better shape; things couldn't continue like this. After a moment's thought, he summoned his second martial soul, and terrifying freezing energy quickly spread out, turning all the surrounding flesh and bone fragments into scarlet ice crystals.
After some maneuvering, Huo Yuhao took out a box of mints from his storage soul tool, chilled them, and handed them to Zhang Lexuan. "Sister Lexuan, eating some mints should make you feel better. I've frozen all this filth, so the taste has lessened considerably."
Zhang Lexuan nodded weakly, took out a piece and put it in her mouth. The cool sensation and faint sweetness spread in her mouth, and the uncomfortable feeling finally eased a little.
They dared not delay any longer and, advancing at full speed, finally reached the deepest part of the cave.
Huo Yuhao's gigantic corpse stood there silently, and next to its horse's hooves lay a thin, hunched-over middle-aged man in black robes, looking like a sewer rat.
Huo Yuhao glanced at this heinous, irredeemable piece of trash, stepped forward, and stomped hard on his head, saying indifferently, "Stop playing dead, you can't escape."
A kick and a word, waking the dog from its dream.
The middle-aged man in black robes twisted his head menacingly, his skull-like face forced to rub against the ground beneath Huo Yuhao's shoes.
"You! Who are you? How can you possess such a powerful corpse puppet! Are you also an evil soul master? I have never offended you, why are you humiliating me like this?"
"An evil spirit master? Are you kidding me? I'm not an evil spirit master! I advise you to explain clearly the sins you've committed over the years! Or rather, do you have any other forces behind you? Explain everything clearly, and I might still give you a quick death! If you don't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences..."
"Then I'm sorry, I'll have to resort to some unconventional methods to get the information I want."
Huo Yuhao said coldly, and then kicked the evil soul master again.
"Hehehe...hehehehe..."
This evil spirit master was already somewhat mentally unstable, and under Huo Yuhao's questioning, he inexplicably began to laugh even more maniacally.
"I am a chosen one of Heaven! I am the messenger of Death! Who can be my protector? I am my own protector!"
Seeing his madness, Huo Yuhao stopped trying to get the information he wanted by questioning him.
Immediately, a golden beam of spiritual energy shot out, and the evil soul master who called himself the messenger of death immediately fainted.
"You suspect there are even stronger evil soul masters behind him?" Zhang Lexuan had already understood Huo Yuhao's thoughts, but if an evil soul master at the Soul King level was just the tip of the iceberg, then the entire evil soul master force behind this person was too terrifying.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan felt a chill run down her spine.
"It's hard to say, but I feel the probability is high. I want to use this guy to infiltrate the possible evil spirit master forces. In any case, at least this way we won't be completely blind."
"But how are you going to control him?" Zhang Lexuan asked, puzzled.
"Sister Lexuan, you know the special nature of my first spirit ring. Tianmeng granted me a total of four spirit skills: Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, Mental Interference..."
At this point, Huo Yuhao paused, turned his head to look at Zhang Lexuan, whose eyes were somewhat dazed, and then smiled slightly, "There is also something called Puppet Spell."
Zhang Lexuan's mind went blank as she listened to Huo Yuhao's words. She thought she knew enough about Huo Yuhao's secrets, but tonight, bombarded her with information one after another, and she still needed time to process it, just like she did in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"You...you bastard! How many things are you hiding from me?"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly and said, "There shouldn't be many left... I'll definitely tell you if there are any more! But since you asked, I can't think of anything else I haven't told you yet."
Zhang Lexuan pouted, but didn't say anything more. It was already good enough that Huo Yuhao was willing to tell her; digging for details wasn't a good thing.
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan was no longer asking questions, Huo Yuhao raised his right index finger. As the first spirit ring on his back lit up gently, a pale golden vertical eye emblem appeared at his fingertip.
Then, Huo Yuhao frowned and stuck the vertical eye emblem directly into the evil soul master's forehead. The emblem flashed twice with a pale golden light and then disappeared.
"Okay, it's all done."
Zhang Lexuan asked, "Is that all?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, then ordered, "From now on, I'll call you Corpse Demon. Now leave this place and find a force of evil soul masters to join, becoming my inside man."
The ghoul slowly rose, knelt on one knee, raised its head, and looked up at Huo Yuhao with its eerie dark green eyes, saying respectfully, "Yes, my master!"
"Do not commit any more evil deeds, but if someone rides on your head, you don't need to be polite to him."
The Corpse Demon rose, bowed to Huo Yuhao again, and said, "I will respectfully obey my master's instructions and take my leave."
Zhang Lexuan watched the departing figure of the corpse demon, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is this really alright?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "You can rest assured."
"Since you've said that, then the mission is over. We'll blow this place up in a bit, leaving no trace!"
"Okay! But Sister Lexuan, how are we going to explain this?"
Zhang Lexuan was immediately troubled by Huo Yuhao's question. She couldn't very well say that the two of them had taken matters into their own hands in the middle of the night and wiped out the bandits, could she?
"Sister Lexuan, what do you think about us doing some disguise? We can take everyone up here again for a stroll later and say that some unknown expert wiped them all out first."
"
"But what kind of soul power aura could it be disguised as?"
"Hehe, my corpse puppet is just what I need to solve this problem."
