"It's okay. The meaning of my existence is to protect you. Hurry up and hide." I urged them once again.
These heartfelt words deeply shocked the four girls. They looked at each other, their beautiful eyes unable to hide their emotions. If they continued to stay here, they would only become a burden to me. The room wasn't big, so they could only run to the bathroom.
While I was talking, the monster attacked again. Its speed was astonishing. Although it looked simple, it contained a destructive power. Even if I had a strong physique, I didn't dare to take it head-on.
Looking at those eyes, I couldn't help but think. If I wasn't wrong, the faint blue light I saw in the bathroom was this thing!
Right now, I still didn't know that this monster was a corpse puppet. I couldn't feel a strong life force from it. Just think about it, if I went to take a bath and was taken advantage of, it was likely that the four women would be in danger.
While I was dodging, I didn't forget to launch an attack. I didn't hold back as I threw a punch. Unexpectedly, the corpse puppet didn't dodge. In an instant, my invincible fist smashed into its chest.
However, the surface of its skin was extremely tough. It was as if I had hit a sponge. Moreover, a black cyclone appeared where my fist came in contact with its skin. It had an amazing protective effect.
Because of this black cyclone, I only managed to push the corpse puppet back. It didn't cause any substantial damage.
Heavens, I used almost all of my strength in this punch. With the support of my astral energy, even a HuaJin Master couldn't resist it. However, the corpse puppet was unharmed.
My thoughts were a mess. This time, I had met an unprecedented enemy.
"Hehe."
After taking a punch, the corpse puppet's eyes flashed with blue light like two balls of fire. Then, it let out a sharp cry that made people's scalps feel like they were going to explode.
My internal energy was deep, so I could still resist it. Sister-in-law and the others weren't so lucky. They subconsciously covered their ears, their faces full of pain.
I used my energy to cover the door of the bathroom. However, the sound was extremely penetrating. Their expressions were still painful. What I was doing wasn't going to solve the root of the problem.
'No, I can't fight here. It's too easy to harm them.' I made up my mind and grabbed its arm, breaking the window to escape. However, the corpse puppet kept attacking me. Since the situation was special, I had no choice but to resist. My Overbearing Fist Technique had clashed with it several times, but I didn't have the upper hand. Moreover, I could feel a poisonous power constantly eroding my fists.
Fortunately, I have reached the fifth cycle of Muscle Tendon Metamorphose Scripture. My defensive power has improved by leaps and bounds. I can use my Stellar Energy to defend myself.
If it wasn't for my special constitution, I might have been decapitated. What was certain was that the corpse puppet had already surpassed the limits of a human. It looked like a walking corpse.
When Sister-in-law and the rest saw it with their own eyes, they felt their hair stand on end and their hearts tremble.
"Pa da."
Soon, I broke through the window with the walking corpse. With a few strides, I reached the top of the building.
I threw a punch and distanced myself from the corpse puppet. Now that I was in a spacious area, I could give it my all. With a flip of my hand, the Golden Snake Sword appeared in my hand. I flicked it slightly, and a ray of sword light was reflected into the corpse puppet's eyes.
The blue light had clearly dimmed and the Corpse Puppet had become irritable. In this dark environment, it was like an object in the void. Without any hesitation, I stomped my feet and soared into the sky.
At the tip of the Golden Snake Sword, seven small golden snakes leaped out. Each of them had the lethality of a martial artist in the late phase of negative jing. Just like that, I used the Golden Snake Sword to deal with the corpse puppets.
Normally, only a HuaJin Master would be worthy of me using my sword. After all, after the Golden Snake Sword had been repaired, it had slightly surpassed the scope of a mid-tier refined weapon. When I killed Master Li, the Golden Snake Sword had tyrannically swallowed his blood.
The corpse puppet's lethality was more than enough. Each of its simple moves made me extremely fearful. At the very least, its damage was no less than that of a HuaJin Master.
However, in terms of reaction speed, it was still not as nimble as a martial artist. I used this weakness to find an opportunity and stabbed its chest. To be more precise, it was where a normal person's heart was.
In the next moment, black blood flowed out from the Golden Snake Sword. I could feel that the Golden Snake Sword seemed to reject the black blood. I stirred the Golden Snake Sword, and soon, a hole appeared in the corpse puppet's chest.
"Hmph, that's all." Although it was a bit of a fight, I was quite satisfied with the result.
However, when I pulled out the Golden Snake Sword, a black vortex filled the wound, and new flesh grew out. In a few blinks of an eye, the hole was completely filled with flesh!
"Hiss."
I couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. This was too fake. I knew the power of the Golden Snake Sword. As long as the heart was hit, it would definitely die.
How could it be unharmed? Could it be that this thing didn't have a heart?!
In just a few seconds, the corpse puppet had already recovered to its original state. There wasn't even a single wound. Not only that, after being injured by the sword, the corpse puppet's overall combat power seemed to have increased.
I didn't know if I had angered it, but the blue light in its eyes was like a raging flame. It was obvious that after receiving the sword, the corpse puppet's reaction speed had become sharper.
I pierced through its defense a few times, but the wounds healed quickly. It was as if this monster was an unkillable cockroach. Moreover, it was a great threat to me. That was the scariest part about it.
In the next battle, I seized the opportunity and cut off one of its arms. Before I could rejoice, the severed arm instantly turned into a black mist and shrouded its arm again. After a while, a new arm grew out.
I was a little dumbfounded. If this continued, I wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. While we were fighting, the corpse puppet had hit my shoulder violently. I felt unbearable pain.
Moreover, there was a burning sensation from my wound, which severely affected my reaction speed.
