A Corpse Puppet?
Cloud Sea Square is holding an annual festival. There are more than a hundred thousand people there.
Now a Corpse Puppet has appeared?
“Fake news?”
!!
This was the first thought that flashed through Su Jingxing’s mind after he saw the message.
But it was quickly ruled out, because the sender was the City Guard Office.
The number was indeed an emergency notification number.
“Team Leader Gu and the rest are in danger!”
This was Su Jingxing’s second thought after seeing the words “Corpse Puppet”.
Gu Bo, Kong Dabao, and the others were still at Cloud Sea Square. Now that a Corpse Puppet had appeared, Gu Bo and company were immediately put in danger.
Including the hundreds of thousands of people at Cloud Sea Plaza and the nearby streets, everyone was facing death.
“Great!”
This was Su Jingxing’s third thought as he stared at the words “Corpse Puppet”.
There was a high chance of extracting Martial Arts Practice Cards after killing the Corpse Puppet.
With the Martial Arts Practice Card, he would be able to quickly master the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique and the Energy section of the Colossal Divine Dagger.
These three thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the next second, Su Jingxing took out a cloak and a mask from his palm s.p.a.ce and quickly put them on. He executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon to soar into the sky.
…
Cloud Sea Square.
It was already chaos. Screams, angry roars, shrieks, and cries could be heard everywhere.
The festival was halfway through when a Corpse Puppet rushed out of the mall.
The moment it appeared, it dismembered a dozen people.
The b.l.o.o.d.y, brutal, and horrifying scene was displayed on the huge screens on both sides of the square. The sight shook everyone.
More than a hundred thousand people instantly became a mess as they fled in all directions. Their screams echoed through the sky.
The security guards in the square and the security team responsible for the venue were scattered by the panicking crowd before they could make a move.
The same went for Gu Bo, Kong Dabao, Feng Tiejian, and the others. Before they could recover from their shock, they had already charged in all directions along with the screaming crowd.
When Kong Dabao pa.s.sed by a corner, someone pushed him from behind. He sprained his ankle and fell to the ground.
In his flurry, he couldn’t care less about the pain. He hurriedly dragged his leg and quickly crawled on the ground. He hid in a corner and pressed himself against the wall, allowing the crowd to rush past him. He did not dare to move or make a sound.
“Roar!”
Yet a beast-like snarl slowly approached him.
The Corpse Puppet with disheveled hair and a hunched body was crazily killing. Like a cheetah, it chased after the fleeing crowd, leaving broken limbs everywhere it pa.s.sed.
The repulsive smell of blood spread and lingered in the air.
“Don’t come here, don’t come here, don’t come here…”
Kong Dabao, who was pressed into a corner and didn’t dare to move, kept his eyes fixed on the Corpse Puppet as he prayed inwardly.
However, the more he prayed, the closer the Corpse Puppet got.
“What to do! What to do! What to do!”
Kong Dabao’s entire body was trembling, and his heart was pounding so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat. Despair filled his eyes.
50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters…
Close, even closer now!
Bam!
There was a sudden loud bang in the sky.
The despaired Kong Dabao subconsciously looked up into the sky.
In his field of vision, he saw a huge, silver-black, translucent fist imprint explode the air and descend from the sky.
Boom!
The earth shook and dust billowed.
Ads by PubFuture Under Kong Dabao’s astonished gaze, the silver-black fist imprint that fell from the sky accurately struck the Corpse Puppet, smashing this monster controlled by the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg into the ground.
The terrifying force created a huge pit with a radius of three meters. The edge of the pit was full of cracks that extended for more than ten meters.
One of the cracks just so happened to brush past Kong Dabao’s feet.
Kong Dabao was dumbstruck and forgot everything.
He stood rooted to the ground in a daze as he stared blankly at the figure that descended from midair. He had a blank gaze, shocked speechless.
…
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
[Corpse…]
…
Too many people had died, and everywhere the Corpse Puppet had pa.s.sed, there were incomplete corpses.
Before Su Jingxing had landed on the ground, notifications for extraction were popping up.
Su Jingxing responded to them as he approached the large pit where the Corpse Puppet was.
[Parasitic Worm Zombie discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
There was no change in his expression. Su Jingxing looked down at the Corpse Puppet at the bottom of the pit.
Right now, the incomparably solid and invulnerable body of the Corpse Puppet had already shattered into pieces.
A year’s cultivation of the Heaven Trampling True Energy weighed around 1000 catties.
Su Jingxing was afraid of unexpected situations just now, so he had unleashed all his cultivation. He gathered all 60 years of true energy in his fist and released the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist.
A year carried 1000 catties. 60 years would make 60,000 catties, multiplied by another seven times.
Nearly 400,000 catties of strength!
Falling from 200 meters up in the air, under the acceleration of gravity, no matter how st.u.r.dy the Corpse Puppet’s body was, it could not withstand the impact and shattered into pieces on the spot.
Even so, this Corpse Puppet, who was obviously a woman, was still alive.
On the remaining half of its face, it’s mouth was still opening and closing, biting the air.
It’s pale pupils shone with a deathly light.
“Extraterrestrial Devil Insect…”
After mumbling to himself, Su Jingxing did not stay any longer. Pushing on the tip of his toes, he soared into the sky and used the Eight Steps Rising Dragon to soar into the clouds.
Accompanied by a dragon’s cry, he disappeared into the horizon.
In the square.
The crowd who had fallen behind that were screaming in panic and trying their best to escape now stood rooted to the ground and looked into the sky. For a long time, no one made a sound.
Too fast!
From the appearance of the Corpse Puppet to the frenzied slaughter, to the loud bang in the air, and then to killing the Corpse Puppet with one punch, the entire process took at most five minutes.
Countless people had died under the claws of this Corpse Puppet in these five minutes.
The people who had escaped the calamity were extremely agitated. They did not know how to express their emotions regarding the Corpse Puppet and the experts who had appeared in time to save them.
Hundreds of people stood rooted to the ground with blank looks in silent shock.
It was not until the sound of helicopters came from the sky and a dozen figures leaping from the roofs of the buildings on all sides of the square that the crowd came back to their senses.
At the next moment, cries and shouts filled the air. Hundreds of people who had escaped death collapsed onto the ground, crying and screaming to vent their emotions.
The experts from the Martial Suppression Office led by Li Linzhou arrived at the edge of the Corpse Puppet pit.
A group of people surrounded the two-meter deep pit and silently looked at the Corpse Puppet that was in a dozen pieces but still opening and closing its mouth.
…
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing landed on the ground. Just as he removed his cloak and mask, the phone in his pocket rang.
He picked up the call.
“Little Su, where are you now? Are you still at the Cloud Sea Square?”
“No, I just got home,” Su Jingxing replied.
The call was from the manager in charge of the Corpse Collection Teams at the crematorium.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
The manager on the other end of the phone heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then, he anxiously asked, “Did you know that a Corpse Puppet appeared in Cloud Sea Square?”
Without waiting for Su Jingxing’s reply, the manager continued, “Now the Corpse Puppet has been eliminated, the higher-ups have ordered us to go to Cloud Sea Square immediately and move the corpses back to the crematorium to cremate…”
“I’ll head to the intersection right now!” Su Jingxing interrupted.
Beep… beep…
The line went dead.
Without any hesitation, Su Jingxing put away his phone and placed his cloak and mask back into his palm s.p.a.ce.
He took out the card extracted from the Corpse Puppet and held it in his hand. As he walked out, he read the information.
Martial Arts Practice Card!
As expected, it was another Martial Arts Practice Card.
Furthermore, it had an exceptionally long practice time of 16 years!
What is going on?
