“Patriarch, Eldest Young Master, someone outside has been invaded by a ferocious creature and is killing people all over the streets!”
Gao Ping went out to investigate and returned to report to Ye Hongde and Ye Feng.
Ye Hongde’s expression was extremely grim.
Even commoners in the city could be invaded by ferocious creatures; if this continued, the great calamity of Linjiang was drawing nearer!
Ye Feng’s gaze was profound, and he inwardly calculated.
If it was just commoners invaded by ferocious creatures, they shouldn't be as strong as true ferocious creatures, right?
At the very least, they should be weaker than yesterday’s Ghost Child!
If he killed them, would he gain experience points?
It was worth a try!
Ye Feng immediately stood up, his expression extremely serious as he spoke.
“Captain Gao, you and Captain Chen guard the mansion gate. The other guards should get onto the courtyard walls. Do not let any ferocious creatures break in!”
Ye Hongde and Gao Ping hastily looked over.
Ye Hongde thought for a moment, nodded, and told Gao Ping to gather the guards, then looked at Ye Feng.
“Feng’er, go to the ancestral hall and comfort…”
Ye Hongde didn’t finish his sentence, but Ye Feng shook his head and said in a deep voice.
“Father, I must go out!”
Ye Hongde’s expression changed drastically!
“No! The outside is full of ferocious creatures, how can you go out? Feng’er, you are just a scholar; going out is suicide! Listen to your father, stay honestly inside the mansion!”
Ye Hongde urgently tried to persuade him, even gripping Ye Feng’s hand tightly, not letting him leave.
Ye Feng, however, gave a wry smile, his expression solemn as he reversed his grip, breaking free from Ye Hongde’s hand and instead grabbing Ye Hongde’s arm.
“Father, thanks to Master Huihai’s teachings yesterday, your son is no longer the same as he was yesterday!”
Ye Hongde shook his head repeatedly, almost without thinking, and said, “That’s still not allowed! It’s only been one day, you haven’t even…”
Boom!
Mid-sentence, Ye Feng had already lifted his foot and stomped down hard!
This stomp directly shattered a large piece of the bluestone on the ground, and the entire main hall seemed to tremble!
Ye Hongde’s eyes widened suddenly in disbelief, but that wasn’t all!
Buzz!
Ye Feng touched his other hand to his glabella, and a golden light erupted, instantly spreading throughout his entire body!
At this moment, Ye Feng was like a golden War God!
Even his voice took on a metallic clang!
“Father, while you were unconscious yesterday, Master Huihai, before his death, imparted all his Cultivation Technique to me. My strength is now no weaker than a Great Master!”
Ye Feng also had no choice; if he directly said that he had cultivated three Martial arts to Major Achievement in just one day, no one would believe him. It was better to attribute it to Master Huihai; at least for now, he needed to quickly make Ye Hongde accept this reason. As for other things, he would explain later!
Ye Hongde stared blankly at the resplendent golden Ye Feng, utterly shocked, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.
Ye Feng smiled, patted the back of Ye Hongde’s hand, and said softly.
“Father, don’t worry. I’m just going out to check the situation and act in secret. There will be no danger. Father just needs to wait for me to return in peace!”
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Hongde to say anything more, Ye Feng directly turned around, swiftly rushed out of the mansion gate, and disappeared around the street corner in a blink of an eye!
At the entrance, Gao Ping and the deputy captain of the guards, Chen Zhan, stared dumbfounded at Ye Feng, who had just rushed past them, shimmering with golden light, their faces utterly blank.
After a full moment, a roar echoed from a street away. The two then snapped back to reality, hastily closed the mansion gate, propped it shut with wooden stakes, and guarded the entrance… After leaving the Ye Residence, Ye Feng put away his Indestructible Divine Skill.
This Cultivation Technique was indeed very strong, but the shimmering golden light was too conspicuous.
Soon, Ye Feng arrived two streets away. Not far off, a group of people fled down the street, and roars came from behind them. Ye Feng’s expression changed, and he quickly flashed into a nearby civilian house to hide.
The room was somewhat dim, empty, with a broken window frame and a patch of blood on the floor. It seemed the owner of this house had already met their demise.
Ye Feng felt a little heavy-hearted, but he couldn't dwell on it and looked outside.
On the street, more than a dozen people fled for their lives, constantly screaming in terror, while behind them, dozens of figures gave chase.
They were people!
Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed!
Those chasing from behind were clearly a large group of people!
But these people were already disfigured.
Through the broken window, Ye Feng saw one of these “people”—or rather, it was no longer a person, but a monster transformed from a human!
The monster’s skin was indigo, its face ferocious like a vicious beast, its mouth wide open, its teeth much sharper, especially the canines on both sides, which had grown three inches long, protruding from its lips like two small knives!
Seeing this monster, Ye Feng was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't this just like the zombies that often appeared in movies in his world before Transmigration?
The appearance was almost identical!
The only difference was that the Chinese zombies in movies from his previous life all hopped, and while terrifying, their movements were inconvenient. These monsters, however, moved like the zombies in Western films, swift and fierce!
This was a hybrid of a zombie and a ghoul!
Combining the advantages of both, it became even more terrifying, impossible for ordinary people to deal with!
Ye Feng decided to call them Corpse Monsters!
After watching for a moment, Ye Feng’s expression gradually turned cold, and his scattered thoughts collected.
The next moment, watching the last Corpse Monster run past the window, Ye Feng instantly burst forth!
His figure was like a nimble leopard, directly smashing through the window frame, and before the Corpse Monster could react, he kicked it down!
At the same time, golden light covered his entire body!
In his first direct battle with these ferocious creatures, Ye Feng would never underestimate them. From the start, he went all out!
The Corpse Monster reacted extremely quickly, rolling on the ground and pouncing back, roaring as it tried to bite Ye Feng’s neck!
Ye Feng dodged to the side, his fists striking like the wind.
Luohan Fist!
Thud!
The Major Achievement Luohan Fist allowed Ye Feng to fully exert his strength. This punch landed squarely on the Corpse Monster’s lower jaw!
The Corpse Monster’s body was sent flying by this blow, directly soaring over two meters high!
As it fell, Ye Feng was already waiting below. Before it could land, he delivered punch after punch!
Ye Feng would not stop until he was sure the Corpse Monster was completely dead!
In mid-air, the Corpse Monster was repeatedly smashed upwards, unable to land, only able to roar and struggle frantically, flailing its arms.
The Corpse Monster’s fingernails had all turned black and were extremely sharp, but they could not scratch Ye Feng’s golden body. Each time they struck, there was only a harsh metallic scraping sound.
The golden body’s defense was indeed formidable!
But in Ye Feng’s heart, he grew increasingly anxious, his eyes even a little bloodshot!
It was just one Corpse Monster, yet after taking dozens of his punches, it was still full of vigor!
The Corpse Monster’s body was almost smashed to pieces, its limbs and torso twisted, and all its bones should have been shattered, but the Corpse Monster seemed to feel nothing, still struggling, still fighting back!
This wouldn’t do!
Ye Feng had already heard the roars from the surroundings growing closer.
The roar of the Corpse Monster in front of him had attracted other Corpse Monsters!
If he were surrounded, it would be troublesome; his stamina was not endless!
With this thought, Ye Feng’s Qi completely turned ferocious. With a fierce roar, he grabbed the Corpse Monster’s neck with his left hand, dug his right hand into the Corpse Monster’s chin, and then pulled violently!
Pfft!
The Corpse Monster’s head was directly torn off by the frenzied Ye Feng!
“Congratulations! You have slain an Elementary Corpse Soldier and gained 7 experience points!”
“First independent kill of a ferocious creature. The Myriad Things Tome has been activated for you!”
