Chapter 478 - Triple Evil Position. Bronze-Armored Corpse!
Chapter 478: Triple Evil Position. Bronze-Armored Corpse!
Thud…thud…
The huge black coffin was still shaking, and the nails on the lid of the coffin especially began to loosen as if there was a hand constantly banging against the lid of the coffin from inside.
Tang Yuanshan and his sons were extremely stunned.
Until now, they still did not understand why there was such a strange-looking coffin in their ancestral grave.
After hearing Qi Qingfeng’s words, Ye Chen could not help but look at him. “What’s the Triple Evil Heavenly Coffin?”
Qi Qingfeng did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned to Tang Ning and asked, “Miss Tang, do you have a map of Hong Kong?”
“Yes, I do!” Tang Ning suddenly snapped out of her daze. Her terrified gaze moved away from the black coffin and she opened her bag to take out a map and handed it to Qi Qingfeng.
Qi Qingfeng placed the map on the ground and opened it. He then looked up at the ancestral tomb of the Tang family in front of him and used his finger to measure the distance between them.
A few seconds later, he was so shocked that he fell to the ground. “The Triple Evil Position! It really is the Triple Evil Position. It seems my guess was right. I can’t believe someone actually set up a Triple Evil Position here.”
“What’s a Triple Evil Position?” Ye Chen asked with a frown.
Qi Qingfeng swallowed his saliva and said, “Master Ye, you may not know this, but the so-called three evils are the Fiends, the Calamities, and the age fatalities. And the triple evil position is where these three evils meet.”
At this point, he could not help but look at the black coffin and the solitary tomb in front of him. He muttered, “And the Triple Evil Position is the tomb layout that’s formed by positioning three graves together. The coffins in the other two graves are used as burial objects for the real coffin. This coffin is called the Triple Evil Heavenly Coffin. It will absorb all the energy of the other two coffins, including resentment, Corpse Qi, Dragon Qi, and so on…”
Thud…thud…
The black coffin began to vibrate more and more intensely.
Qi Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with fear. “The Triple Evil Position is a technique administered by evil sects. They want to use the power of Feng Shui and the three evils to raise a corpse!”
“In other words, there’s…there’s…” Tang Ning stared at the black coffin in front of her in fear.
She had experienced zombies before. Previously, she had encountered a zombie in the Tang family’s tomb in BA County. It had been a nightmare that she would never forget.
She did not expect to encounter it again.
“That’s right! It’s a zombie!” Ye Chen slowly opened his mouth as his gaze stopped on the black coffin in front of him. “Elder Tang, you may not know this, but Shen Tiannan’s son, Shen Xingye, died at my hands. Shen Tiannan set up a fake tomb for him and tried to raise his son to become a zombie. Now that I think about it, the person in the coffin must be Shen Xingye.”
“What?” Tang Yuanshan was suddenly shocked and his expression was filled with anger. “In other words, Shen Tiannan used the Tang family’s ancestral grave to raise a zombie? And you’re saying that the changes in my Tang family’s ancestral grave were also caused by it?”
As he said this, he actually wanted to approach the black coffin, but Tang Guodong hurriedly pulled him back. “Father, don’t be rash!”
It was not his fault for being so furious. However, this was too vicious and heartless. Had it been anyone else, they would probably not have felt good.
“Master Ye, looking at the situation before us, the thing in the black coffin has probably already turned into a zombie.”
Qi Qingfeng’s expression was extremely grave. He looked at his feet and said, “This vile beast has absorbed the fire element of the Shun Yeung Peak. This is a sign of the makings of a Drought Demon. Shen Tiannan actually dared to use such a method.”
The moment these words were said, Yinshi’s expression changed as well!
Drought Demon!
That was practically the highest grade among the zombies.
It was rumored that wherever there was a drought demon, the land within a thousand miles would be stained red. This meant that wherever there was a drought demon, there would be a great drought within a thousand miles and the soil would crack open.
“It doesn’t matter!” Ye Chen shook his head slightly. “If I had discovered it a little later, in another 30 to 50 years, Shen Xingye might have been able to become a drought demon, but now, it’s impossible for that to happen!”
He had also known about the drought demon before.
There was a sect in the world of cultivation called the Yin Corpse Sect. The members of the sect did not cultivate magical treasures or abhijnas. Instead, they focused on refining corpses. Almost every member of the sect would have a corpse that was also known as a corpse puppet.
When they summoned a corpse puppet in the face of an enemy, their battle prowess would increase drastically. The level of the corpse puppet was about the same as that of a zombie. Among them, the drought demon was equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator.
If Shen Xingye had really become a drought demon, even Ye Chen had to retreat!
“All of you, retreat a hundred meters away!”
After saying this, Ye Chen stretched out his hand and slapped the black coffin in front of him.
Bang!
The coffin lid shattered.
Roar!
With an angry roar, a black figure dashed out of the coffin. From afar, it looked like a burnt person with smoke coming out of his body.
After the black figure landed on the ground, its face was revealed. It was wearing a black shroud and its long hair covered its eyes. It had tanned skin and its fangs were exposed.
The clothes on its arms were torn apart, revealing its two furry arms. At first glance, it looked like it was made of fur, but in reality, it was made of countless tiny steel needles.
“That’s a bronze-armored corpse!” Qi Qingfeng, who was standing in the distance, exclaimed in shock!
Although Tang Ning was terrified, she still asked, “Master Qi, what is a bronze-armored corpse?”
“After normal zombies are born, they first become white zombies. They are afraid of chickens, dogs, light, and even more so of humans. After that, they become black zombies. Compared to the former, black zombies aren’t afraid of humans.”
Qi Qingfeng continued to explain, “After evolving into black zombies, they become bronze-armored corpses. They are buried in a land that has strong metallic elements and are then born 10 years later. After these zombies absorb the strong metal elements of the land, their bodies become sharper. It’s as if they were coated with a layer of copper powder. They become invulnerable and extremely strong.”
“Xiao Lin, fire!” Tang Guodong turned around and ordered the driver.
The driver did not hold back as he immediately pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the copper-armored corpse in front of Ye Chen. As a result, when the bullet hit the corpse, apart from a burst of sparks, it did not cause any harm. Instead, the gunshot provoked its ferocity.
Roar!
The corpse let out an angry roar as it turned its head towards Tang Ning and the others. With a leap, it jumped over as though a spring was installed in its feet.
“Sh*t!”
Qi Qingfeng’s expression changed drastically.
The Guigu Sect’s strong knowledge in Feng Shui had not prepared them for combating magic.[1] Plus, even if they were to fight magic and catch demons, they would need a special weapon.
If it was an ancient martial arts practitioner, they would not have been afraid. Nevertheless, since it was a zombie, things were different. After all, a zombie had no senses. Even if you chopped off one of its hands, it would only attack fearlessly.
“Where are you going?!”
At this moment, Ye Chen leaped into the air and directly jumped above the copper-armored corpse’s head. His speed was even faster than it. Then, the shadow of his fist swept across the sky.
Bang!
With just one punch, he knocked it down to the mortal world, creating a huge hole in the ground. Almost immediately, the zombie leaped onto the ground again and bared its teeth at Ye Chen.
It was obvious that the zombie had realized the danger Ye Chen posed.
“As expected of a copper-armored corpse!”
When he saw that it was still unscathed, Ye Chen was slightly surprised. He asked with his hands behind his back, “Shen Xingye, do you still recognize me?”
