Chapter 841 447: Evenly Matched Opponents—What Fun! Nonsense!
Overcast sky, the Wang Family Manor is very quiet, a quiet that seems somewhat eerie.
This is also the usual state of the manor on the mountain; it is not frequently inhabited, likely leaving only a few servant girls to watch over the house.
However, through Leng Yimeng's expression, it is clear that the murderer should have been here.
"Not good."
Duan Yun reacted instantly, his figure sweeping inside.
This is a three-entry manor built along the mountain, with a staggered terrain.
It's clear that a lot of thought went into constructing this Wang Family Manor, with interspersed streams and lush bamboo amidst the uneven terrain, quite beautiful.
But at this moment, the entire manor seems quite eerie.
Because despite entering the manor, they haven't seen anyone yet.
Duan Yun quickly quickened his pace, following the stone steps toward the backyard.
A moment later, the two sisters and Feng Ling heard Duan Yun's voice—"Damn it!"
They quickly chased after him and finally saw people.
The people inside the Wang Family Manor were actually more than they expected, but the reason why it was so quiet despite the number of people is that they were all dead.
In the backyard lay seven corpses, both male and female, judging by their clothing, they seemed to be servants of the Wang Family.
There was a very tall wutong tree in the yard, Leng Yixue's nostrils moved slightly as she looked up.
The next moment, she involuntarily stepped back two paces in a panicked state.
As a Goddess Catcher, she instantly smelled the scent on the tree and raised her head to look.
The result of that glance gave her quite a scare.
Because amongst the branches of the wutong tree was a woman's face.
This woman's tongue might have been naturally long, further stretched by someone, thus at a glance, she resembled a long-tongued ghost, extremely horrifying.
Evidently, this was also a corpse, deliberately made this way, placed in the tree.
Feng Ling'er even recognized who this corpse was.
This was the wife of Young Master Wang, once famous in Wangchun City for her tongue skills, said to twist her tongue nine times in one go, deeply loved by Young Master Wang.
And now, she was dead here.
These corpses all carried a strong earthy stench, a smell that made Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue uncomfortable.
Because, in their eyes, this seemed like a plague, a plague brought by Rat Phase.
In the Martial World, rat disasters are often linked to plagues, always giving a sense of ominousness.
If this was indeed the work of Rat Phase, it could only be said that they were facing the most terrifying rat in the world, without exception.
Duan Yun had already pushed the door open and entered.
Because of the overcast day, the room at the back of the courtyard felt deep and thus appeared extremely gloomy.
Along with the corpses inside and outside, the entire Wang Family Manor appeared eerily horrific.
Duan Yun walked inside, stopping after ten steps.
He raised his head, and what met his eyes was a corpse hanging upside down.
The corpse was a young man, clothes disheveled, and Duan Yun was almost certain that this was the work of that damned rat.
Martial World rumors said Rat Phase Wei Wuxing once enjoyed toying with noble concubines, Lady God Hunters, and even Lord God Hunters, and during his antics, his victims would suffer extreme humiliation, marked with his unique imprint.
Each of the Emperor's ten favorite concubines had it.
The people of Yuzhu Manor knew about it but never knew what the imprint was, after all, it was a secret between the concubines and the Emperor, the imprint on a concubine would never be known to outsiders.
But at this moment, Duan Yun finally knew what the imprint was.
The imprint was Mickey Mouse.
More precisely, a mouse fallen into a rice vat.
On this corpse's navel was carved a mouse fallen into a rice vat, the lines simple yet lifelike, you could even feel the mouse's joy upon falling into the vat.
Then, Feng Ling'er walked in with a solemn expression and said, "This is Young Master Wang."
Duan Yun had never seen Young Master Wang before, but he did recognize the Wang Family.
During the turmoil in Wangchun City, especially when he had yet to win against the Mo Sect, few supported him, after all, the Mo Sect was already deep-rooted in Wangchun City and the affluent families in the city who had been benefiting for years with the Mo Sect wished nothing more than to get rid of him.
Yet the Wang Family was an exception.
The Wang Family was among the few influential families that supported him.
When he achieved victory, those Hero Flags that suddenly appeared were already woven in advance by the Wang Family.
And that perceptive Young Master Wang now lay dead here, quite unfortunate.
Duan Yun leaped into the air, wanting to take the humiliated corpse down.
Just as he jumped above the rope, he instinctively felt his hair stand on end, sensing a dangerous aura.
Almost simultaneously, the corpse which had been definitely dead suddenly opened its eyes.
Due to the inverted position, as Young Master Wang opened his mouth, a series of pitch-black poison nails shot straight toward Duan Yun's lower vital part.
The force of these poison nails was terrifying, perhaps even more powerful than the Tang Sect's infamous Intestine Piercing Bone Nails, and given the close distance and suddenness, even if Duan Yun wanted to dodge, it was too late.
One could only say this "revival" of the corpse was extremely cunning, not only in the stealthy strike but also in the precise timing.
Because this was precisely when Duan Yun's old strength was exhausted and new strength hadn't developed, even for a top Qinggong expert in the Martial Arts, trying to change posture under such circumstances was impossible.
Duan Yun was able to act, suddenly stepping on his right foot with his left, generating another surge of strength, pushing himself backward.
But due to the rapid speed of the poison nails, as he swung back, the poison nails pierced through his pants and brushed against his skin.
