The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1127: Corpse King

Ye Qian nodded, "There are many more perverts like that. I think that Hu Tiesheng must be one of them too!"

"The Xinglong Gang shouldn’t all be like that, right? The guy I met before was alive!" Ling Feng said.

"Probably not."

Ye Qian shook her head, "Such people usually follow their old leaders; judging by logic, they wouldn’t just show up randomly. I wonder why this one is here!"

"We’ll know once we encounter some living members of the Xinglong Gang!"

Ling Feng chuckled, "You can’t get a word out of the living dead, but I have my ways to make the living speak!"

Saying this, the three of them continued into the mountains along a river valley formed by a flash flood. The rainy season was over; now, only a small stream was gently flowing.

After walking along the stream for a while, Li Fei’er suddenly said, "This place is indeed strange; there’s not even a single fish in the water!"

"Uh, did you want to catch them if there were fish?" Ling Feng asked.

"Of course not. Any place with water should have small fish or shrimp. If I’m right, this water might be toxic!" Li Fei’er said.

Hearing this, Ye Qian crouched by the stream and took out a piece of talisman paper, dipping it into the water.

Seeing the yellow talisman paper turn light green, she nodded several times, "No mistake; there’s corpse poison in the water!"

"Damn, doesn’t that mean the groundwater is contaminated?" Ling Feng said in astonishment.

"Corpse poison doesn’t last long in the natural environment; this isn’t intentional poisoning. It seems there are many bodies upstream, probably those zombies!" Ye Qian said.

The three continued along the stream; Ling Feng’s divine sense began to scan the surroundings and soon found several human figures!

They were living people, sitting under a tree cooking with an alcohol stove!

Seeing this, Ling Feng sneered, "These people are really at ease!"

Then he turned to look at Ye Qian and Li Fei’er, "We’ve got living ones now!"

The three of them sped up, rushing towards them. Before the others could react, Ling Feng’s blade was already aimed at them.

"Who are you?"

There were four of them, and an older man among them asked loudly.

"Investigators of the Security Bureau!" Ling Feng said coldly.

The old man was startled, then squinted his eyes, "You’re here already!"

"Correct, now tell me, are you from the Xinglong Gang? What are you responsible for? Are you here on watch?" Ling Feng asked.

"Exactly so!"

The old man chuckled but unexpectedly a burst of fire shot out from behind him!

The flare shot into the sky and exploded into a cloud of black smoke!

Ling Feng immediately understood; he was signaling to his companions!

He looked at the old man, "Old man, facing imminent death, you’re still so loyal. What benefits has Hu Tiesheng given you?"

"How dare you address the prince like that, you deserve to die!"

The old man roared in anger, drawing a long knife and charging forward.

Ling Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue, his blade flashed, directly cutting him down instantly!

"Hall Master!"

The remaining three shouted in surprise and lunged at Ling Feng!

To such brainwashed individuals, willing to die for a living corpse, Ling Feng showed no mercy, slashing down two with a swift swing, and breaking the other’s spine with a quick kick!

As painful howls echoed, Ling Feng stepped forward, pressing on his pressure points, "Stop shouting and answer some questions!"

Without needing him to speak, Ling Feng grabbed his hand and quickly asked several questions in succession.

After asking enough, he kicked him away.

"What did you learn?" Li Fei’er quickly asked when she saw the man died.

"The burly guy just now was a Mountain Patrol Envoy, in charge of them, but he was unlucky, being the first to be taken down by us!"

Ling Feng chuckled, then said somewhat regretfully, "Unfortunately, this isn’t the main headquarters of the Xinglong Gang, just a temporary storage site for those zombies!"

Li Fei’er: "What exactly are they using these zombies for?"

Ling Feng put away his smile, looking serious, "We were all wrong, these zombies aren’t meant to form an army to scare civilians, but for Hu Tiesheng’s cultivation!"

"Hmm?"

The two women were stunned, then Ye Qian seemed to understand, crying out, "My god, that guy wants to refine zombies to become the Corpse King!"

"What’s a Corpse King? What level?" Li Fei’er immediately asked.

Before she could answer, a sinister voice came from afar, "The Corpse King is the ruler of this world, the highest realm of life!"

As the voice came, a black-robed figure appeared on the opposite lawn.

Seeing the other’s attire, Ling Feng sneered, "What? Dressed like that, can’t stand the light?"

"This is proof of my status!"

The black-robed figure said in a deep voice before shouting, "Ignorant fools, coming to die on your own, I shall fulfill your wish!"

As the words fell, he suddenly split into two figures, rushing from left and right!

Without needing Ling Feng to speak, Li Fei’er immediately shouted, "Wang Cai, Yellow!"

Two giant beasts appeared in an instant, opening their massive mouths!

The two speeding figures had no time to retreat, being directly swallowed!

Silence in the valley, Ling Feng was momentarily dumbfounded, "Is that it?"

"No, Wang Cai and Yellow didn’t catch anything, those two were illusions!" Li Fei’er said.

Hearing her words, Ling Feng immediately released his divine sense!

But there were no figures around; the black-robed man seemed to have never appeared!

"What the heck is this?"

Ling Feng thought to himself, but out loud, he shouted into the surrounding bushes, "Is that all you’ve got? Are you going to hide like a turtle?"

His intention was to provoke the opponent, making him reveal himself again. But after shouting twice, there was still no movement.

Ling Feng was speechless, "What is this, shouting and running?"

Such nonsense!

Turning to look at Ye Qian, Ling Feng asked, "That guy was clearly bluffing earlier, what exactly is a Corpse King?"

"Absorbing zombies’ evil qi, he’ll become a higher-level zombie, potentially regaining human consciousness, and immensely powerful, comparable to the most formidable flying zombie!" Ye Qian said.

"God-like level?" Ling Feng asked in amazement.

"Not quite, in cultivator terms, the Corpse King should be at the Nascent Soul Realm!" Ye Qian said.

Ling Feng’s eyes widened, "Damn, if that old guy succeeds, his realm will surpass Zhou Yi’s, that’s terrifying!"

"Yes, so we absolutely cannot let him succeed!" Ye Qian nodded.
