Chapter 585: Desperation Struggle

were different."Tsk, I knew this wouldn't stay hidden from you. That simpleton just thinks his cousin is truly in love with my sister-in-law and came to offer his heartfelt blessings."Hong Lian just g...Liàn yī gǎo dì le chē lǐ de kuī lěi shī tǐ, bù ràng zhè xiē dōng xi chū lái xià rén hé gěi zì jǐ tīn dù, jiù yī gè kōng fān luò ge dào dì shàng, qù zhuī wàn zǐ zhōng le.

As he ran, Man Chi Chung waved his hand and sent the black insect in his grasp flying toward the other person, commanding it to enter Wu Lianyi's body. This way, he still had a chance.

He was confident that he wouldn't be discovered by the ripples because it was night now, and darkness was the best cover for black insects.

But Lian Ri had become accustomed to caution. With a celestial master of this caliber, she couldn't be too careful. So, her divine sense remained constantly draped over Wan Zi Zhong, observing his every move clearly and distinctly.

The black worm vibrated its wings, silently flying towards the ripples and preparing to burrow into the artery in her neck. Just as it was about to do so, Ripples grabbed it with her bare hands and crushed it into a paste.

Man Zi Zhong, who was running ahead suddenly spat out blood and collapsed to the ground. His vision went black because his contract puppet insect died, and he was also injured internally.

But now he couldn't afford to grieve for his comrade, struggling to get up immediately. He had to leave. If he fell into Wu Lianyi's hands, he would be finished.

Ripple saw Wan Zizhong struggling to get up, she rushed over and kicked him down again with a flying kick. She then picked up the black backpack from the ground.

"Running so fast for what I haven't even finished speaking!"

Liàn Yī's nose twitched, catching a whiff of blood and a fleeting red light. She nimbly sidestepped the opponent's dagger, kicking at their wrist. However, the blade seemed to be fused to Wàn Zǐzhōng's hand, refusing to detach. Instead, it pivoted and continued its attack towards her.

After retreating a step, rippling pulled away from the two of them, only to discover that Man Zi-Chung was now acting abnormally. His eyes had turned red and seemed to have become one with the short sword in his hand. He looked as if he were being completely controlled by the blade.

Liàn Yī confirmed that the metallic scent she had just smelled was coming from this short blade. She tossed the opponent's backpack aside, her wrist flipping to retrieve her own cursed dagger from space.

The ripples clearly saw that the short knife in Wan Zizhong's hand seemed to tremble slightly when it appeared as a dagger in her hand.

"Kill!"

Chen Fei arrived with his team, almost being knocked over. He immediately stopped his colleagues:

"Don't go over there yet. Master Wu instructed us not to get close until she has subdued the opponent. It's easy to get caught in the crossfire and give them an advantage."

The first call he received that day was from Master Wu, and the other party's first words almost made him jump.

"Officer Chen Fei, the Master Wan Zizhong who came with me has a problem. Perhaps the missing persons cases here are related to him. I can't provide you with evidence right now, but I believe that after seeing me leave tonight, he will definitely take action."

"And to avoid suspicion, he'll definitely find an excuse to split up and keep watch separately. You just need to make sure you know his location. Don't act rashly. Leave the rest to me. Don't approach him while I'm not there, I don't want to have to clean up your messes. Understood"

"I understand!"

Chen Fei only answered this one sentence, and before he could ask further questions, the other party hung up.

He was a little unsure, because both of them were masters of Taoism. He wasn't sure if this Wu Master was on their side, and besides, the two had gone to Ziyu County together. So after hanging up the phone, he decisively went to find the chief.

The Chief utilized his connections to inquire about Wu Lianyi from Long Tiger Mountain, confirming that she was indeed a moderately well-known Taoist priest. She had assisted the village of Shishan in Lin County with a case of a vengeful spirit just a few days ago. The descriptions given by his colleagues about Wu Lianyi matched Chen Fei's description perfectly.

On the other hand, Master Wan Zizhong from Miaoshan didn't seem very famous. In the end, the director chose to believe Lian Yi's words. As he put it, there are different levels of masters. He believed more in Master Wu, who was skilled.

As expected, that evening, Wan Zi-chung found an excuse to separate from them. Chen Fei nonchalantly gave the other party the walkie-talkie used for positioning. After confirming the other party's location, he called Lian Yi back.

Master Wu, Man Zi-zhong is very strange. He actually went to the cemetery in Ziyujian County.

"I saw, you guys are coming later, when I didn't catch him, your people don't get too close."

"Okay, I understand."

When they arrived, they saw the two people fighting. Although they were using cold weapons, they fought with the power of hot weapons. They didn't even dare to approach them, for they had opened the door to a new world.

The ripples and Wan Zizhong sparred, he swung his blade and she blocked it, occasionally trading blows with fists and feet. In Chen Fei's eyes, both of them had become a blur.

In the end, the ripples still won out. She had been leading him on all along, just to see how long that short knife could hold up.

In less than half an hour, the red light on the dagger disappeared, and Wan Zizhong's crimson eyes returned to normal. However, he looked as if his energy had been drained, aging instantly. His face was now creased with wrinkles, and white hairs appeared at his temples.

This time, the ripple kicked at the same spot on the opponent's wrist, causing the short knife to fly out of their hand. Wan Zizhong let out a painful cry and knelt on the ground clutching his wrist.

The ripples advanced, directly striking the opponent's head with a palm strike. Her power surged into their body instantly, sealing their meridians and leaving Wan Zizhong unable to resist.

"Come here!"

The ripples signaled to Chen Fei hiding in the distance.

Chen Fei then took the people and ran all the way over, looking at the drastically changed Wan Tian Shi, his eyes couldn't hide the surprise, and immediately asked:

"How did he become like this"

"After the consequences of using sorcery, let's shackle them first!"

Chen Fei's captain walked over, cuffed the unconscious Man Zi Zhong to the ground, and then said to Lian Yi:

"Master Wu, since you brought us here and captured him, have you found the missing person"

Upon hearing the captain's question, Liàn Yī sighed and replied to him:

"Come with me!"

Then, he led everyone to the van and put away his divination set. He opened the back door, revealing a pile of corpses stacked inside, causing Chen Fei and the others to gasp in shock.

"They're all dead!"

"Yes!"

"How could this be"

There are evil Taoist priests who kill people to make corpses.

Lin's face paled as well. Wan Zizhong wouldn't hesitate to kill and steal a corpse here, it definitely wasn't something he could do alone. Besides, refining a corpse wasn't just about having the body; there was so much more involved. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

"Master Wu, this person doesn't seem right, come and have a look."l return your deposit."Ripples never take advantage."No, Miss Chou came by and was very helpful. At least now I know that Fen Yin has a habit of animal abuse. So maybe the hurt she caused wasn't accid...
