Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Blood Beast or Walking Corpse—Which Does Wu Prefer?

However, when Su Yuan got back on the road with Jin Hao and instinctively distanced himself a few steps, he suddenly understood Wu Ziying’s reaction earlier.

Tsk! Looks like this Flood Dragon Poison is a debuff!

But whatever, since Wu Ziying isn’t suspicious, I’ll just keep following her to pick up the Spirit Beast corpses.

Once I get a speed-type elixir, I won’t need to ambush anymore, just go head-on!

After that, Su Yuan followed Wu Ziying from a distance, close but not too close.

Along the way, he occasionally came across Spirit Beasts either freshly slaughtered by Wu Ziying or ones that were already lying dead before.

For the Spirit Beasts that died earlier, Su Yuan refined them into Spirit Pills, and for those whose souls hadn’t dissipated yet, he quickly made them into Blood Beasts.

From Qi Cultivation Early Stage to Qi Cultivation Late Stage Spirit Beasts, he accepted them all.

In just over an hour, Su Yuan’s blood beast army grew to seven.

These seven Blood Beasts were placed around him, ready to fight at any time.

Jin Hao Walking Corpse consumed many Spirit Pills, some enhancing intelligence, others increasing resistance to impacts, and even boosting strength and speed, and even developed a digging ability.

Looking again at Wu Ziying’s points, it had already grown to over five thousand, firmly holding the second place.

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised to find Chen Nuoyi’s points ranking closely chasing behind Wu Ziying, nearly reaching the four-thousand mark.

He was curious about how she managed to gain points so quickly.

If Wu Ziying, the enemy, weren’t nearby, he would’ve definitely gone to check out the class monitor’s live stream.

Just as Su Yuan was happily trailing behind the expert to scavenge, Wu Ziying suddenly sped up ahead.

He paused slightly, then understood after a glance at the minimap.

It turned out another examinee had entered this woman’s hunting range.

Su Yuan felt a surge of excitement; this was good news for him!

If the other party was a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer expert, even if they couldn’t defeat Wu Ziying, just causing some distraction would let him steal attack from behind.

As the saying goes, when the sandpiper and the clam fight, it’s the fisherman who profits.

He unhesitatingly led his gang along.

After rushing for a bit, right before Wu Ziying caught up with the examinee, Su Yuan saw the latter from the other side of the forest.

Seeing who it was, Su Yuan was taken aback.

Because it wasn’t someone else, it was his classmate, Wu Xingqi.

At this moment, Wu Xingqi was battling a silver-gray giant wolf. Having just broken through to Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer recently, she struggled with this fight, barely holding the upper hand.

But with Wu Ziying and Su Yuan’s approach, the girl’s expression visibly turned anxious.

She clearly understood she was going to be surrounded, but being entangled with the Demon Wolf, she couldn’t break free.

Su Yuan stood atop a large tree, clearly watching the scene unfold.

He could also see Wu Ziying nearby, ready to take down both Wu Xingqi and the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Demon Wolf.

When he was in trouble, Wu Xingqi was the first to support him. Now that she was in danger, it was only right and proper to help her.

With this thought, Su Yuan ordered his strongest Blood Beast, the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Blood Tiger, to take action.

Having hidden in the dense forest for a long time, once the order was given, the Blood Tiger dashed out like lightning, its foul wind sweeping toward... Jin Hao.

With a smack, Jin Hao Walking Corpse was knocked down flat.

Immediately after, Su Yuan imitated Jin Hao’s voice, calling for help to Wu Ziying not far off.

"Sister Wu! I’m getting attacked here!"

Preparing to strike Wu Xingqi, Wu Ziying cursed under her breath, "Useless," ignoring it completely without even moving.

But then she heard Jin Hao calling:

"Sister Wu, I’m not going to make it, hurry and give me a hand, I still have a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Spirit Beast here, don’t let it get away!"

These words instantly caught Wu Ziying’s attention.

Jin Hao was Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, plus a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Spirit Beast, the points were definitely higher than these two Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer weaklings here.

And finishing him off wouldn’t take long, right?

After taking care of Jin Hao, she could come back and handle Wu Xingqi, without missing much.

With this thought, Wu Ziying quickly went to where Jin Hao was, and indeed saw Jin Hao being bitten in the neck by a Blood Tiger, blood gushing.

Seeing this Blood Tiger, Wu Ziying’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of confusion.

She couldn’t identify the tiger species.

But it didn’t matter, with so many Demon Beast species, not knowing one wasn’t strange.

Just a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Tiger Demon, could it still turn the tables?

The girl summoned her Flying Sword, and as the potent Spiritual Power surged into the sword, waves of ripples spread from the standard Flying Sword’s tail, much like a missile ready to launch!

Whoosh—

The next second, the Flying Sword shot out, instantly piercing through the Blood Tiger’s neck.

The ferocious tiger head was sliced into two, and the jaws clamping Jin Hao’s neck gradually slackened, the whole head dropping aside.

Dead as can be.

Wu Ziying then glanced at Jin Hao, noticing a bone-deep wound on his neck, his life slipping away.

Unfortunately, because he was completely corpse-like, Wu Ziying couldn’t see his expression clearly.

Jin Hao stiffly lifted a hand, pointed to his neck, seemingly asking for a finishing blow.

The purple-haired girl nodded slightly, recalled the Flying Sword, and quickly approached Jin Hao, delivering a sword strike to his neck wound.

A perfect head flew skyward.

Qi Cultivation Cultivators clearly cannot survive head decapitation, so with this sword, Jin Hao was surely dead.

Wu Ziying instinctively checked her points ranking, only to be astonished to find no change in her points, whether for slaying the Blood Tiger or Jin Hao!

"Something’s wrong!"

Finally realizing something was off, Wu Ziying hurriedly looked at the soaring Jin Hao head.

She saw it hanging mid-air in an uncanny pose, jaws widened, rocketing towards her like a cannonball.

This strike was incredibly bizarre and swift; even though Wu Ziying noticed something amiss immediately, she couldn’t dodge.

Chomp—

Jin Hao’s jagged teeth sank into Wu Ziying’s shoulder, piercing through her fair, delicate skin.

Corpse poison and Flood Dragon Poison violently injected into her body, spreading a crippling fatigue through her in an instant.

Thud—

Exhausted, Wu Ziying pushed Jin Hao’s head away, collapsing into a seated position, powerless.

Just then, a voice lazily spoke from above the trees.

"I already cut off Jin Hao’s head earlier; no matter how many times you hack at his head, it’s zero damage."

"While refining Jin Hao, I took advantage of this feature and turned him into a Flying Head Corpse for a surprise attack."

"After planning for so long, you finally fell for it."

Wu Ziying looked up in disbelief to see a young man descending from above, riding the Chi Yuan Sword.

With a casual gesture, the severed Blood Tiger melted back into a pool of blood and reformed.

Reshaped, the Blood Tiger resurrected, showing no sign of any wounds.

Jin Hao’s head also floated back, reattaching to his body.

The corpse lying on the ground stood up again, taking position behind Su Yuan.

Meanwhile, rustling sounds came from the jungle, and as Wu Ziying looked around, one Blood Beast after another, each unique in appearance, stepped out of the brush, completely surrounding her.

"Would you like to become a Blood Beast or a Walking Corpse? Wu, take your pick."

Su Yuan asked calmly, standing in mid-air.
