Chapter 222: Dark Curses
Cai Yunhai was supposed to come with Jia Hao and Old Yang to the Chi Village.
However, Although the Chi Village was the main entrance point, there were other paths where the dark monsters would invade.
Therefore, giving the mantle to Jia Hao and Old Ynag, Cai Yunhai led a part of his troop to help the other villages.
‘ There are three villages near the Chi Village. These are the four weak points where the dark monster going to swarm in.’
‘ Father in law can take care of the remaining three at once. But the Chi Village…This is where the main event is going to happen.’ Jia Hao sighed inwardly.
‘ Damn it, I should have picked the faraway village. The danger in Chi Village is rather high.’
‘ However, If I want to turn the tide of this situation, I need to stay in Chi Village.’ Jia Hao sighed inwardly.
” Anyway! Let’s farm some points, shall we?”
Jia Hao pulled out his saber as he jumped forward. His Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art circulated around his body, bolstering his physical and internal strength.
” DIE!! Crimson Frenzy Slash!”
*SWISH! SWISH!*
Jia Hao’s saber flashed with a chaotic light as he slashed a couple of dark goblins at once. His internal energy swirled as his saber turned into a chopping machine, killing the dark goblins before him.
” Fuck! Fuck you bastards! You were really powerful back then, Huh? What about now? Where are you running?!”
He remembered the day when he fell to the Yunlan Continent. If it wasn’t for his Holy Dragon Torch and Cai Lingzhi, he would have died at the hands of dark goblins.
But now, since he has gained power, Jia Hao let his anger go free.
The Crimson Frenzy Blade technique was perfect for unleashing the wildest power. With Jia Hao’s strength and the power of his saber, he instantly killed the dark goblins whose strength rivaled of Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
Jia Hao’s Sage’s Divine Eyes shone as he felt the ground trembling. Arching his legs, he jumped above and used the Fading Moon Steps to retreat a few feet.
The ground trembled as rock pikes erupted from the ground. However, Jia Hao only scoffed as he stood far. With his gaze, he looked around and found the goblin shaman.
” There you are, Son of bitch. You think I will let you live?” Jia Hao snorted as he quickly charged toward the goblin shaman.
After all, a living mage can deal a lot of damage. Therefore, Mages needed to be killed as fast as possible.
However, Jia Hao’s expression changed as he used the Fading Moon Steps as he vanished from his position. A giant rock fell on the ground, where he was standing previously.
With a booming sound, a crater was formed, killing a few dark monsters along with three soldiers.
” GRAHHH!”
” Damn, an undead ogre is protecting the shaman, huh?” Jia Hao snorted as he shouted.
” Archers! Take down that bastard!”
Suddenly, two arrows covered with Evil Exorcising Talisman shot towards the ogre. However, before they could reach it, a monster wolf jumped towards the arrow, taking shots.
“*BOOM! BOOM!*
The goblin shaman used the chance as he launched a giant fireball toward Jia Hao. With a snort, Jia Hao dodged the attack with his agility.
‘ Dark goblins, giant wolves, goblin shamans, undead ogres, and undead men, there are so many monsters here.’ Jia Hao’s mind rushed as he looked at the grinning goblin shaman.
‘ They realized the power of the talisman, huh? They are using the wolves as the bait to take down those arrows.’
” Attack the ogres! I will deal with these small fries.” Jia Hao lunged forward as his saber flashed with a dim golden light. His pure yang internal energy burst out as it covered the saber.
To his surprise, his saber cleaved the undead open, like a hot knife slicing through the butter. After his slash, the small undead didn’t even get up.
The corpses of the undead fell as it turned into black goo. However, the power of the ogre was too much.
” Don’t worry, Young Lord.” Old Yang shouted. ” I will see the trolls.”
Saying that Old Yang hurled his horse as he charged toward the ogre. His spear was covered with a crimson radiance, making it look like a magical lance.
” Great Army Thrust!”
*BOOOM!*
His spear pierced through the chest of the ogre, making a giant hole in its torso. The ogre snarled as it swung a giant tree trunk to attack Old Yang.
However, his soldiers backed him up, shooting an Evil Exorcising Talisman at the ogre.
The moment the talisman was plastered on the ogre’s body, its body sizzled with black smoke, falling on the ground like crumbling mud.
Using the chance, Jia Hao’s body blinked as he shot toward the goblin shaman. The shaman’s expression changed as it swung its bone towards Jia Hao, trying to cast a spell.
” Too late, bastard!”
*SWISHH*
With a single blow, Jia Hao beheaded the shaman. The head flew as it rolled on the ground.
[ Ding! Host gets Basic Elemental Affinity Shard (1/5)]
” Well, That’s something good.”
Jia Hao’s lips curled as he looked at the remaining goblin shamans. With the speed of his Fading Moon Steps, he appeared and disappeared like a ghost.
With each swing of his saber, he took a few lives like a reaper. Suddenly, his gaze fell on where three shamans gathered together.
” Hoho? Thank you for speeding up my exp farming.” Jia Hao grinned as he used his Dominance Aura.
The wolves trying to protect the shamans retreated instantly as if they felt the imposing aura of their king. Even the shamans were stunned for a moment, albeit lesser than the wolves,
However, that was enough for Jia Hao to close the distance. His saber flashed with a sharp ray as his internal energy overflowed.
” Crimson Storm!”
The area filled with the painful screeching of the shamans as Jia Hao’s saber bloomed like a crimson flower. The severed limbs pilled up as he killed the shamans instantly.
However, as he was savoring the exp, Jia Hao’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly saw the corpses of the wolves and dark goblins were twitching around him.
Not only his but where Old Yang was fighting, the corpses showed unusual movements.
*PLUFF! PLUFF!*
The corpse puffed out like someone popping balloons. Strange green smoke erupted from the corpses, spreading across the area.
” Cough! Cough! What the hell?”
” My eyes…My eyes are burning!”
” Ugh, I am feeling weak!”
Jia Hao covered his nose as he rushed out, reaching a place where there was no gas.
Using his Sage’s Divine Eyes, he looked at the corpses and strange green gas.
[ Rotting Corpse Gas: A dark technique that rots a corpse and releases toxic gas. Direct contact can cause injuries and nausea. Prolonging effect can cause deadly plague disease and death. Can be treated with holy power]
” Everyone! Use don’t inhale the gas!” Jia Hao shouted. ” Rip the Evil Exorcising Talisman and cleanse the air around you.”
The ogres were mostly dead. So, using the Evil Exorcism Talisman to protect the soldiers is alright.
Jia Hao saw even Old Yang was struggling. After all, he was at the center of the explosion. The miasama like gass seemed to be alive, slowly poisoning Old Yang and the elite soldiers around him.
” Old Yang! Hang on!”
Rushing towards him, Jia Hao pulled out a Purification Talisman and slapped in Old Yang’s back, The talisman burned as it enveloped Old Yang with a gentle radiance, making his symptoms vanish.
” Cough! Curses!” Old Yang shouted as he kicked a dark goblin away. ” What was that? Some sort of dark arts?”
” Our entire troop is getting affected.” Jia Hao’s face turned grim as he shouted. ” Fall back! Don’t stay near any corpses!”
Due to the power of the Cai Family’s Silver Lightning Cavalry and the ground soldiers, the Chi Village was piled with monster corpses.
But still, around three hundred Cavalry and a thousand ground troops died.
‘ Damn it! This is a spell. But I don’t think goblin shamans could cast it. Who is it…Who it could be…’
Suddenly, the ground trembled as the corpses slowly twitched again.
” Retreat! Retreat!”
Hearing the nose, the troops started to retreat. Old Yang’s face changed as he pointed at the corpses.
” The corpses…They are standing again!”
