Chapter Forty-Seven: Robbery and Plunder

  "Kill!" Guo Fei roared. Four long spears, without any pattern or order, stabbed at the two battle-hardened zombies in front of him. The spears emitted gray swirling auras, and charged forward like ferocious bulls.

  "We must find a set of gun skills to teach them!" Guo Fei shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself. The four dead soldiers had not practiced gun skills when they were alive, only one had practiced short guns and looked somewhat decent, while the other three were simply unbearable.

  Fortunately, the vengeful spirit zombie that had just merged with the corpse also didn't have any moves. Its body was still a bit stiff, and compared to the four jumping corpses in front of it, which were as agile as monkeys, it was far inferior.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Four corpse soldiers surrounded two battle ghosts, wildly slashing and stabbing. The ground was filled with swirling dust and fog, the fight was extremely intense.

  Sha Wujiao was frightened, his body slightly trembling as he retreated backwards. He had managed to survive until now solely due to his cautious and timid nature, but somehow he felt that today he had kicked an iron plate, and if he didn't escape, there would be no other way out. He silently cursed himself for being momentarily muddle-headed, after decades of prudence and careful planning, it was all undone today.

  "Clang!" A dull sound, the dust scattered, and the two large swords in the hands of the two battle ghosts were broken into two pieces. Four long spears were inserted into the body of the battle ghost, pinning it to the ground.

  Sha's eyes twitched, and he hastily retreated, leaving behind the two zombies he had spent years accumulating materials to refine.

  "Hiss!" Guo Fei had long since taken notice of him, and with a flick of his wrist, two flying knives shot out, piercing through the black robes, stabbing into the flesh, only to hear a muffled cry of pain, yet he didn't fall, still retreating in arrow steps.

  "Xiao Hei, Huo Qiang, block him! Otherwise, I'll let the Soul Devourer swallow you all!" He passed by Xiao Hei's side and waved at Xiao Hei and Huo Qiang, shouting in a terrified tone.

  At this time, another astonishing scene appeared. Xiao Hei kicked out with one foot and directly kicked Sha Wujue's face door. In the midst of Sha Wujue's stunned gaze, he was kicked to the ground. Xiao Hei jumped up, snatched the skull staff from his hand, then pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it down, directly inserting it into Sha Wujue's heart. Sha Wujue didn't even have time to react before he died.

  This string of actions was completed in the blink of an eye, as if he had practiced it thousands of times in his heart. Sha Wujue wore a large black robe that covered his body, and with one swift motion, he found the heart and killed him instantly, not giving him time to react. Guo Fei thought to himself, this was very difficult to do, unless you were extremely familiar with the person.

  "Haha, I did it! I did it!" Xiao Hei was overjoyed, hastily biting his finger and dripping a drop of blood onto the crystal skull. With a wave of his staff, he muttered "return" under his breath, and from his head emerged a soul body resembling a gray snake. This soul body looked extremely ferocious, with razor-sharp teeth in its misty mouth, and was truly terrifying. The two eyes of this misty snake flashed red light as it was instantly absorbed into the skull crystal.

  Then Xiao Hei waved his staff again, pointing at "Fire Gun", and a similar fog-like snake emerged from the head of Fire Gun, entering the staff.

  Huojian's melancholic eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

  "Captain, we've avenged ourselves! We're saved!" Little Hei waved his staff wildly, overjoyed to the point of tears. The two vengeful spirits were sucked back into the skull staff from the already mutilated and unrecognizable corpses that had been pierced by the undead soldiers.

  Xiao Hei finished all this and turned to rush towards Huo Qiang, who pushed him away with one hand. In a loud voice, he said: "Shameless traitor, don't come near me!"

  "Captain, don't you understand? I've been enduring humiliation and hardship just to get one hit in. Don't you understand my heart?" Little Hei exclaimed, pounding his chest and bowing his head.

  Huǒ Qiāng's face twisted in agony as he tightly hugged Xiao Hei, and the two of them wept bitterly.

  "This man is a ruthless and cunning fellow!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold as he looked at Xiao Hei, and with a wave of his hand, the four corpse soldiers moved Sha Wu's body in front of Guo Fei.

  Sha Wujiao unexpectedly managed to move out two corpses, he must have a storage treasure. Guo Fei himself would not personally search him, for this type of dark cultivator, Guo Fei was extremely cautious and ordered the undead soldiers to take action.

  The two people next to him briefly celebrated, then turned their heads to watch Guo Fei's movements with great vigilance. Huo Qiang had no expression on his face, looking at Sha Wu Zhou's corpse with extreme disgust. On the other hand, Xiao Hei Yan's eyes chilled as he watched Guo Fei command the undead soldiers to search the corpse, revealing a hint of helpless regret in his eyes.

  "Pffft!" The black robe of Sha Wujiao was torn open, and a burst of black air suddenly emerged. Guo Fei pulled Hu Xiaoyue away in an instant, while the four corpse soldiers remained unmoved, continuing their search.

  The two hid in the upper wind tunnel, waiting for the black fog to disperse before walking over. Where the black fog had drifted, a layer of white foam appeared on the black rocks, making people feel a chill in their hearts. It was clearly an extremely toxic substance.

  The corpse under the black robe was almost inhuman, like a withered skeleton, with thin skin covering the bones. If it weren't for the layer of skin on the outside, it would be indistinguishable from a dried-up skeleton. On its right hand, it wore a ring that Guo Fei recognized as the Qian Kun Storage Ring.

  The corpse soldier handed the ring to Guo Fei, who grasped it in his hand. It didn't immediately bleed to recognize its master, but instead looked towards Xiao Hei.

  "An adult with a majestic and heroic demeanor, young and promising, with profound cultivation that cannot be measured. It is the first time I have seen such a person in my life, making me feel deeply revered. To be able to see such a heroic and chivalrous figure in this lifetime, even if I were to die, I would have no regrets." Little Hei spoke as if a river had burst forth from his mouth as he rushed towards Guo Fei.

  "Grandma's words make me feel like I'm just like the Jade Emperor!" Guo Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

  "Shut up!" Hu Xiaoyue shouted in disgust.

  "This young lady is truly an immortal among mortals, and I was amazed by her beauty the moment I saw her. From the Western Regions to the Northern Plains, I, Xiao Hei, have traveled to many places, but I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you. It's really enviable that a noble like you has such a talented attendant!"

  Guo Fei laughed, this guy is a smooth talker and a treasure. Xiao Hei saw Guo Fei laughing and immediately smiled with joy.

  "Bring it on!" Guo Fei laughed and pointed at the skull-shaped cane in Xiao Hei's hand.

  "What!" Xiao Hei's face changed color, he shrunk back his skull-patterned club and retreated a step back, standing beside Huo Qiang.

  "Bring it!" Guo Fei's face turned cold, his gaze towards Xiao Hei was no longer kind, and the four corpse soldiers simultaneously raised their long guns, pointing them at him.

  "Xiao Hei, give this to the young brother. This thing is someone else's spoils of war. We can be saved thanks to the young brother. We cannot be too greedy. Moreover, this thing is a great evil, cultivators who practice it become neither human nor ghost. Don't be tempted." Huo Qiang said in a low voice.

  Xiao Hei's face showed a struggling expression, his eyes looking at Huo Gun were filled with disappointment for an instant. Helplessly, he raised the skull staff, and with a wave of Guo Fei's hand, a corpse soldier went to fetch it back.

  Xiao Hei looked at Guo Fei, who held the skull staff, closed his eyes and withdrew all his divine thoughts. Guo Fei smiled, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of fresh blood on it.

  "Master, this is a yin evil object, it cannot be used!" Hu Xiaoyue's face lost color, her pitiful and delicate appearance was revealed without a doubt, she said in a soft and urgent tone.

  The little black dog next to her couldn't help but lick its lips with its tongue and stare at Hu Xiaoyue with wide, round eyes.

  "Yes, young brother, Sha Wujue cultivated this method and became half-human and half-ghost. You're still young and have a great future ahead of you, you should take the right path and not use evil methods to improve your cultivation, lest you go astray." Huo Qiang looked at Guo Fei with a sincere expression, his voice low and serious.

  "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have a plan. This thing is an ominous object, and the reason I came back was to seal it!" Guo Fei said with a smile.

  At this time, Guo Fei's fresh blood seeped into the skull staff, and his mind was suddenly shaken. He discovered that there was a huge space inside the skull staff, with two warring ghosts floating in the space, and two snake-like soul devourers curled up in one corner. As soon as Guo Fei's divine thought entered, he trembled with fear.

  "The vengeful spirits have seen their master!" The two vengeful spirits possessed spiritual intelligence, so they naturally knew that they had changed masters again. However, they had already gone through several masters before. The skull staff was also obtained by San Wujue in a tomb treasure trove, where the two vengeful spirits were sealed inside at the time. Although they had spiritual intelligence, they were still ghostly soldiers of the vengeful spirit level. It wasn't until San Wujue got them that he used his own vital energy to nurture them, and after the vengeful spirits grew up, he killed people to seize their vital energy and forced them to undergo a transformation.
