"You… how is my corpse Qi gone?" a blue-skinned woman screamed as her skin slowly got more human color.
"Sigh, why do you all say the same thing? Don't you have any other sentences to use?" Ning asked. He then used One True Spear to strike at the woman and killed her at once.
This was the 5th woman he had killed this night. They were all surprised when he could suddenly take away their corpse Qi and didn't know what to do after that.
Well, the most they did after that was breathing for a few more moments. Death would come to them all eventually.
Ning once more left the area after clearing away the Corpse Qi in the place.
He was making a spiral around the city clearing both the enemy and the corpse Qi in the process. He was very confident in the fact that there were other much stronger enemies in the city and didn't want to get caught up in a fight against them yet.
So, he was trying to clear as many as he could by himself. Screams and shouting rang out from everywhere. The fire was under control for one moment and out of it in another. Zombie ran about everywhere, showing just how many people had died.
This was a true tragedy on a scale Ning had never seen before.
Suddenly, Ning stopped running. In front of him were a bunch of people fighting against a hoard of zombies. They were fighting with swords and shields and were trying to stay as far from the zombies as possible.
"Don't let them or her touch you. You will get turned to one of them," someone was shouting. It seemed by now many had realized that getting touched was the reason the people turned into zombies in the first place.
The hoard of zombies was too much for the people and they would be overrun very quickly. So, Ning ran forward and immediately jumped into the middle of the hoard.
"OI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"YOU WILL DIE!"
People started shouting the moment they saw Ning do something so nonsensical. Ning didn't care about their concerns and immediately started sucking in the corpse Qi towards himself.
Immediately, the zombies lost their rotting and decrepit skins as they returned back to being healthy people and fell to the ground dead. They had all lost their corpse Qi and were now just a bunch of dead bodies.
The sound that came out from this much corpse Qi was beyond anything Ning had gathered the whole day today. It was so bad that he himself was starting to wince from the sound. It was too distracting.
"You… stole their corpse Qi?" a woman who was a little further away from him said as she looked at Ning. "What did you do to it? Destroy it? Absorb it? Either way, it seems you are kind of dangerous to keep alive huh," The woman said as she walked forward.
Ning looked at her blue skin and knew without question that she was an enemy. Ning immediately ran forward and used the One True Spear strike at the woman.
The woman took out a blue-colored sword and made it brighter as she used a technique to block the attack. Using the momentum of the attack, she also jumped back at the same time to create a gap between them.
"Haha, no way I'm letting you get close to me. I don't know what you are doing to the corpse Qi, but I am not going to let you do that to me," the woman said.
This was the first woman that had managed to survive his spear strike without losing a single bit of advantage. Ning curiously checked her Qi cultivation.
'9th realm huh? No wonder. Her actual battle prowess with the corpse Qi must be around 1st realm of foundation establishment,' Ning thought. This was going to be a troublesome battle.
He needed to close the gap to about 5 meters before he could start sucking away the Corpse Qi from her. He needed to think of something but he was having a hard time.
'Damn, this sound is too distracting. Will I die immediately if I stop it?' he wondered. He didn't want to give a single chance for the woman to attack him.
'Closing the gap comes first.' He immediately dashed forward and stopped right as he reached the woman. He didn't attack as she would use the opportunity to run away.
Instead, Ning used the hypnotizing dance to try and get the woman to stop thinking for a bit. It only worked for a few seconds before she was back to her normal self, but that was enough.
Ning was already spinning his spear around attacking her from both sides one after another. The woman used her sword to block the spear, but she realized it was getting harder to stop.
Not only was the spear getting stronger, but she was also getting weaker as well. Ning was sucking away her corpse Qi from her, but there was just too much.
'Is their level of corpse qi dependent on their cultivation level?' Ning wondered.
Blue light shined from her sword as she directly attacked Ning. A large blue light appeared from her sword sending him flying away.
Ning fell amongst the dead bodies that softened his landing. He hadn't taken a lot of damage, but the loud sound was getting to him now.
He needed to do something that wouldn't distract him or impede his ability to think during the fight.
'There is one more thing I can do, isn't there?' Ning thought. He immediately stopped the sound. The surroundings felt as if it had all turned silent, even though the crackling of the fire and the screams of people were as prevalent as ever.
The sound turned back to corpse Qi and started attacking Ning at once. But Ning didn't fret. He immediately used the Yin to sound conversion once more as the corpse Qi started turning to sound.
However, his body also started smoking. He was also using Yin To heat conversion technique to equally distribute the corpse Qi in his body.
