Chapter 755: Chapter 44 Stirring Trouble in Living Fish Valley (Part 2) Chapter 755: Chapter 44 Stirring Trouble in Living Fish Valley (Part 2) Hong Liangyu had not gone far out of the Tang Family Village when he headed south into a grove of locust trees, suddenly feeling a strong gust of wind heading for his face. With a hawk’s flip, he somersaulted in midair, his right foot kicking out and striking the chest of the oncoming person, only to feel both cold and hard, as if he had kicked a century-old chunk of ice that would not melt. He could only borrow the force to swing himself far away.

As the night had deepened, Hong Liangyu leaned against a locust tree, using the dim moonlight for clarity. He saw that this person was barely clothed, with disheveled hair, and a face so pale and swollen it was unrecognizable. The left eye socket had been gnawed empty by birds and beasts, leaving a bloody hollow. It turned out to be a walking corpse.

He suddenly recalled the talisman papers and Bagua mirrors posted on every household in just-experienced Tang Family Village, and it dawned on him—Tang Family Village was actually experiencing a corpse transformation.

Without uttering a word, the walking corpse lunged towards the rich blood meal before it. Hong Liangyu, unarmed, did not confront it head-on, instead, he used his hands to climb and leapt onto the tree with two moves. The walking corpse hit the tree head-on, causing the not-so-sturdy locust tree to tremble incessantly.

Witnessing the walking corpse wandering below the tree, Hong Liangyu casually broke off a somewhat sharp branch. He whistled downward, and as if obeying the call, the walking corpse looked up. Hong Liangyu leaped down from the tree canopy, holding the pointed end of the branch, and with one thrust, it pierced through the walking corpse’s eye socket, exiting from the back of its head, along with some gray-white brain matter.

This forceful and heavy thrust twisted the walking corpse’s neck at a strange angle. It swayed from side to side for a while and ultimately fell flat on the ground with a thud in front of Hong Liangyu, never making a sound again.

“Eh!”
