I shouted a hasty warning.
Old Mo, though pained for his new car, had no choice but to retreat.
The yellow corpse qi surged towards us like a tide.
Under its touch, the surrounding trees and flowers withered and died in an instant.
"So corrosive," I exclaimed, retreating repeatedly.
The last time I encountered such potent corpse qi was the green mist spat by the old yellow weasel woman.
But that green mist dissipated quickly after being expelled.
This yellow mist, however, was clearly different.
It was dense, unyielding, and rolling in.
After retreating a few steps, Xiao Mei suddenly inhaled sharply.
The next moment, her human face transformed into a fox's head.
She also exhaled a plume of white mist towards the yellow miasma.
The white mist pushed back the yellow qi, creating a gap.
However, the yellow miasma quickly closed in, engulfing Xiao Mei's expelled mist and continuing its advance.
Not only that.
Behind us, several gigantic corpse monsters suddenly appeared.
These monsters had only a single head, but they too expelled clouds of yellow mist.
The yellow mist spread and merged, continuously.
In moments, we were completely surrounded.
"Damn it, is this cat demon trying to corrode us with this corpse qi?" Old Mo grumbled.
"It appears so," I replied.
But to think they could trap us with such a tactic was underestimating us.
I quickly retrieved my Yin Gathering Pearl and activated it.
Simultaneously, I channeled the Yin and Yang energies within my dantian.
Though these two energies were distinct, they were intertwined.
There was only a wisp of them in my dantian.
Once activated, my spiritual energy would be consumed at an extremely rapid rate.
However, once the Yin and Yang energies were in motion,
The Yin and Yang Pearls would become attuned to me, automatically circling around me.
This was the "special effect" Old Mo desired.
And it would allow me to control the Yin and Yang Pearls more effectively.
At this moment, the two pearls circled before me.
I invoked the "Chi" incantation.
Pointing my sword-finger towards the yellow mist ahead.
The two pearls shot out with a "bang."
They carried the entwined Yin and Yang energies, exuding immense power.
As soon as they entered the yellow mist, they sliced through it.
Although the yellow mist would close in quickly, it didn't matter.
As long as I swirled the pearls within the mist, the resulting gale would tear apart the corpse miasma.
I wondered how the mist could possibly re-form.
With my sword-finger, I swept left and right through the mist.
The Yin and Yang energies clashed within the yellow miasma.
The Yin and Yang Pearls moved with incredible speed, their windswept aura.
Soon, the yellow mist was dispersed.
Most importantly, I was able to locate the three-headed corpse monster within the mist.
Seeing this, my eyes narrowed.
I pointed at the monster again.
"Chi!"
The two pearls abruptly changed direction, a "swish swish" sound as they intertwined and then charged towards the three-headed corpse monster.
The three-headed corpse monster's cultivation was likely at the peak of the Soul Palace realm.
If not for its ability to expel this dense corrosive mist, it would have been dealt with long ago.
Now, facing such a powerful artifact as the Yin and Yang Pearls, it could only attempt to flee.
But escape was impossible.
Once locked onto by me, the pearls pursued it, and with a flash, struck its left head from the side.
"Meow!"
With a piercing shriek, the corpse monster collapsed.
However, this time, the blood splattering from the three-headed corpse monster was not black, but green.
This indicated that this three-headed cat had transcended being a mere "corpse" and had become a corpse demon.
As the three-headed corpse monster fell, the crushed head continued to ooze green blood.
Its other two heads let out mournful meows.
Without its control, the surrounding corpse mist began to dissipate, no longer coalescing.
I controlled the Yin and Yang Pearls, preparing for a fatal blow.
But the smaller corpse cats around us swarmed forward, using their bodies to block the Yin and Yang Pearls.
The corpse cat with two heads remaining seized the opportunity to flee into the nearby woods.
Furthermore, the surrounding wild cats and corpse cats once again began to attack us.
Seeing the three-headed cat escape, and its distance exceeding the limit of my control over the Yin and Yang Pearls, thirty meters,
I did not pursue.
Because now was not the time for a lone pursuit into the dense forest.
With a wave of my hand, I recalled the Yin and Yang Pearls.
I also ceased the activation of the "Yin and Yang energies" within my dantian.
In just this short time, eight percent of my spiritual energy reserves had been consumed.
It was a massive expenditure, to say the least.
Looking at the surrounding horde of corpse cats, I picked up my peach wood sword and began to hack and slash again.
Or I used talismans to suppress the malevolent energy.
By the time the corpse mist dissipated, the corpse cats attacking us were mostly dead.
But more corpse cats and wild cats had retreated back into the surrounding woods.
At this moment, Old Mo stomped on the last struggling corpse cat.
I also sheathed my peach wood sword, and Xiao Mei's fox claws had reverted to her hands.
I glanced at everyone and asked,
"Is anyone injured?"
Corpse demons, corpse monsters, zombies, and the like, were almost all carriers of corpse poison.
A scratch could lead to infection and poisoning, requiring immediate attention.
That's why I cautiously asked.
Xiao Mei shook her head.
"I'm fine!"
Old Mo ignored me and walked towards his warped, almost stripped paint, new car, his face dark.
"My Yellow God of War.
When Yun Xia Gu arrives, I will definitely raze their lair.
And slaughter every single one of these abominations..."
