Chapter 127: Arrival

At this moment, Sun Xuan was not afraid that Third Young Master Li would come to look for trouble with him after discovering that Steward Liu was missing.

After all, through the matter of letting Sun Xuan secretly dispose of the corpse, it could be seen that Third Young Master Li also did not want the matter of him murdering and disposing of the corpse to be exposed.

As a result, not only did Sun Xuan not have to worry about Third Young Master Li dealing with him openly, but he also held Third Young Master Li's leverage in his hands.

As for making a move against Sun Xuan in secret, with the martial arts in Sun Xuan's hands at this time, even if Master Zhao and Master Han made a move personally, they definitely would not be able to take him down.

After returning to the chores quarters, Sun Xuan looked at the various handymen lying on the heated brick bed sleeping, but a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

Because in Sun Xuan's vision, right above the heads of all these handymen, a line of information popped out:

[Spirit Slave locking on…]

Looking at this scene, a trace of a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth as he thought:

"It seems that this entire Li Family has been targeted by that Awakened female corpse.

Hehe, in this way, things are going to get interesting.

It is estimated that at the earliest tonight, and at the latest tomorrow, there will be a good show to watch in this Li Family residence!"

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan carried a trace of vigilance in his heart on one hand,

while finding a spot on the kang bed, he began to sleep lightly.

However, although Sun Xuan was sleeping at this moment, because of his fear and wariness of that Awakened female corpse, his heart was extremely alert.

Once there was even the slightest disturbance in the outside world, Sun Xuan would definitely notice it.

Right after Sun Xuan lay down, in Third Young Master Li's room, Third Young Master Li—Li Quan was pacing back and forth with an expression of anxiety on his face.

Having waited for so long, yet still unable to wait for Steward Liu to return to report, Li Quan already realized that something must have happened to Steward Liu.

Seeing Li Quan pacing, he suddenly stopped, then slammed a palm fiercely onto the table, roaring in a somewhat tyrannical and low voice:

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

And just when Third Young Master Li Quan was irritable and furious in the room, an inexplicable chill suddenly crawled up Third Young Master Li's spine.

Li Quan, who was in a rage, instantly shivered involuntarily, and then glanced around a few times with a somewhat startled and uncertain expression.

After not discovering anything, Li Quan cursed a few words of bad luck in a low voice with a gloomy expression,

then suppressing the anger in the bottom of his heart, he suddenly thought of something.

"Right, where did that ancient bronze sword given to me by Master Zhao after he returned go?

This is a valuable old item after all. Although it was stained by that bitch's dirty blood, after wiping it clean, it is still just as valuable.

Damn it, it couldn't be that that dog of a handyman dragged it away together and threw it into the mass grave, right?

This bastard, if you didn't die in Old Liu's hands, I will definitely drag you out with my own hands and chop you into meat paste!"

The entire night, Li Quan spent it in anger, only dozing off in a daze for a short while in the early morning.

As for that female corpse, not long after Sun Xuan dropped her off, she opened a pair of unblinking big eyes and abruptly sat up from the flatbed cart.

And right within the right hand of this female corpse, she was tightly gripping a somewhat eerie ancient bronze sword.

The blade edge of this ancient bronze sword happened to match the terrifying wound on the female corpse's neck.

After sitting up, the female corpse stared straight ahead without moving.

After more than an hour, the female corpse's head suddenly turned rigidly toward the headless corpse of Steward Liu lying prone on the ground.

A trace of bizarre and evil light suddenly shot out from the female corpse's eyes, and then shone upon Steward Liu's headless corpse.

The moment it was illuminated by the evil light, Steward Liu's headless corpse instantly twitched rapidly as if having an epileptic seizure.

After twitching for a while, Steward Liu's headless corpse actually slowly crawled up using both hands and feet,

then, like a puppet, it slowly stood in front of the female corpse.

The female corpse gently placed the ancient bronze sword in her hand onto Steward Liu's neck, which was covered in dried bloodstains.

Streaks of cyan shimmering light immediately flowed rapidly from the ancient bronze sword into the headless corpse.

After the cyan light flowed in, Steward Liu's stiff headless corpse instantly took on a bronze hue.

A sense of unspeakable evil suddenly emanated from Steward Liu's headless corpse.

Immediately following that, a strange sound like fingernails scratching glass suddenly came from inside Steward Liu's headless corpse:

"Ugh… ugh ugh… Where is my head!"

After the sound came out, Steward Liu slowly turned around, step by step walking slowly along the forest path in the direction of the Li Family residence.

And just after Steward Liu's headless corpse left, that eerie female corpse holding the ancient bronze sword actually slowly became transparent.

After just a moment's time, the female corpse seemed to melt into the air, and her figure could no longer be found.

Time passed quickly, and soon it reached the latter half of the night.

Sun Xuan, who was sleeping lightly, was suddenly startled awake by an unspeakable chill.

Sun Xuan quickly opened his eyes, then rolled over and sat up, scanning his surroundings with a vigilant gaze.

On his two palms, a faint jade color was gathered without releasing, and within his entire body's muscles and flesh, a trace of thick profound black color was also revealed.

At this moment, Sun Xuan was like a ferocious tiger ready to burst forth and devour people at any time, his entire person tensed up.

However, after Sun Xuan vigilantly scanned the chores room for a while, he didn't discover anything at all.

His tensed state of mind also relaxed slightly.

"Boom!"

Yet right at this moment, a resounding explosion suddenly rang out fiercely from within the Li Family residence.

Amidst this loud noise, the entire Li Family was startled awake.

Inside the chores room where Sun Xuan was located, all the other handymen were also awakened by the sound of this loud noise, and then one by one they blankly climbed up, talking to each other at a loss:

"What is this commotion? What happened?"

A handyman spoke, half to himself and half inquiringly.

However, the surrounding handymen were as clueless as him, having no idea what had happened at all.

At this time, Sun Xuan was quietly hiding among the crowd of handymen, similarly pretending to have a blank expression.

In Sun Xuan's view, that Awakened female corpse should have come looking for the Li Family.

Under this circumstance, the Li Family would naturally have experts come out to deal with it. He would temporarily hide among the handymen first, and as for subsequent matters, he would see how the situation developed before deciding.

Just as Sun Xuan walked out of the room with the crowd of handymen and arrived at the chores small courtyard, someone suddenly pulled his sleeve.

"Brother Sun, what kind of expression is that on your face? It's rather scary."

After Hou Liang pulled Sun Xuan's sleeve and wanted to say something, he discovered that Sun Xuan suddenly turned his head over,

then staring at him with Killing Intent in his eyes.

Hou Liang was instantly startled, and then spoke to Sun Xuan with trembling lips.

Sun Xuan thought that the eerie female corpse had sneaked up behind him, but turning around to look, it turned out to be Hou Liang.

His heart, which had leaped to his throat, immediately slowly fell back down.

"You brat, making a fuss over nothing, why did you pull me?"

Sun Xuan said to Hou Liang speechlessly.

"Brother Sun, how am I making a fuss over nothing? It's clearly you standing there not knowing what you were thinking about, just deep in thought.

However, Brother Sun, what was that commotion just now? I was sleeping so soundly when such a huge commotion suddenly burst out, almost scaring me to death."

Hou Liang reached out and patted his chest, speaking to Sun Xuan with a lingering fear on his face.

Hearing this, Sun Xuan pondered slightly on his face before speaking:

"I also don't know what happened, but if we go out and take a look, won't we know?"

The voice with which Sun Xuan spoke to Hou Liang was not soft, and the surrounding handymen basically all heard it.

At this moment, everyone immediately agreed with Sun Xuan's proposal, and then pushed open the courtyard gate, walking in the direction from which the sound came.

Sun Xuan and Hou Liang also followed closely behind the crowd of handymen step by step, walking out of the chores quarters.

As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, they saw a large number of handymen walking out from their respective chores courtyards.

Coupled with the hurried-looking guards, the Li Family residence, which had already reached the late night, appeared rather bustling.

Everyone was walking toward the front courtyard direction from which the sound came, especially those guards whose steps were extremely fast, with solemn expressions clearly on their faces.

Not long after, the crowd of handymen and guards arrived at the location of the front courtyard.

And the scene before their eyes caused everyone's heart to be shocked.

Even some cowardly handymen were already so frightened that they fled sprawling in the direction away from the front courtyard.

The main gate of the Li Family residence was currently shattered into several pieces, scattered across the open space of the front courtyard.

It seemed that the explosive sound from earlier should be the sound coming from the main gate of the Li Family residence being blasted to pieces.

Having the main gate blasted to pieces was one thing, but what terrified people the most was the scene happening right now in the open space of the front courtyard.

A Headless Zombie, with the exposed skin on its body presenting a bronze color,

was currently squatting on the ground, holding with both hands the head of a guard that had been plucked off, fitting it onto its own neck.

Then bursts of sounds like fingernails scratching glass came from the corpse's chest and abdomen:

"Ugh… hehe… Wrong, wrong, this is not my head, this is not my head!"

The Headless Zombie held the dead-eyed guard's head with both hands, fidgeting with it on its neck for a good while,

before slamming it fiercely onto the ground with a thud.

In an instant, this guard's head was smashed into pieces on the bluestone ground.

Red and white matter was shattered all over the ground. Coupled with the two guard corpses lying on the ground, a feeling of extreme cruelty and disgust instantly spread out.

Those two guard corpses should be the two guards who were keeping watch in front of the Li Family residence main gate,

killed directly on the spot by the suddenly appearing Headless Zombie.

Especially on the neck of one of the headless guard corpses, its head was obviously forcefully torn off by a huge force.

As for the identity of this Headless Zombie that rushed into the Li Family residence, Sun Xuan recognized it the very first time he saw it.

Isn't this Steward Liu, whose head was beaten into his stomach by his single palm? How did he turn into this ghost-like appearance?

A trace of doubt flashed through Sun Xuan's heart, but then he thought that this was very likely caused by that Awakened female corpse.

The bizarreness of that female corpse truly somewhat exceeded Sun Xuan's expectations.

Just Steward Liu's corpse influenced by it alone had reached this level of combat power.

From this perspective, that Awakened female corpse was even more extraordinary.

Looking at the Headless Zombie reaching its hand toward another guard corpse on the ground, Sun Xuan observed secretly with somewhat cold eyes,

searching for whether this Headless Zombie had any weaknesses on one hand, and on the other hand, also observing just how strong its combat power truly was.

After all, if even the Li Family couldn't deal with this zombie, Sun Xuan, who had been locked onto, would sooner or later have to face it.

The hand of this Headless Zombie grabbed the head of that guard corpse, and with a ripping sound, forcefully tore it off along with skin, flesh, and bloodstains.

After tearing it off, the Headless Zombie then placed this head onto its own neck once again.

Then that extremely unpleasant and piercing sound came out from its chest and abdomen once more:

"This one isn't it either… This one isn't it either… Where is my head… Where is my head… Ugh ahhhhh…"

Immediately afterward, this Headless Zombie once again slammed the head grasped in its hand fiercely onto the ground,

and then roared somewhat plaintively.

Then its entire body stained with blood, like a fierce tiger, pounced fiercely toward the surrounding handymen watching the commotion.

At this moment, there were very few handymen who still dared to watch the commotion here.

Most of the remaining handymen, after seeing this bloody and terrifying scene, had already fled back as if their guts were frightened out.

Only a few bold enough ones were still hiding behind the trees and rockeries of the front courtyard watching the excitement.

Aside from these bold handymen, there was a group of guards who had arrived first, holding broadswords in their hands.

However, these guards only knew some basic fist and foot kung fu.

Now seeing that this Headless Zombie was so ferocious, they, much like the handymen, were already almost frightened out of their wits.

The reason they hadn't scattered in a flurry yet was purely because the Li Family had raised them for so long, and now that trouble had struck, they had to step up.

The so-called saying goes: raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a moment.

Usually eating and drinking well, other than doing a bit of training, they didn't have to do anything else.

Now that the Li Family had reached a moment of crisis, these guards of theirs had to risk their lives to fight.

Otherwise, once they dared to flee, the Li Family, once they recovered, would not only hunt them down to the end, but even their entire families and elderly relatives would not be spared.

An influential and wealthy prominent clan like the Li Family was definitely not running a charitable hall.

However, under the circumstance of the Headless Zombie pouncing over, those handymen watching the commotion immediately met with great misfortune.

The Headless Zombie randomly selected a handyman watching the commotion, and with a single grab, pounced and knocked that handyman hiding behind the big tree to the ground.

Immediately afterward, amidst the shrill and terrified screams of the handyman beneath it, the Headless Zombie plucked off his head with a single grasp.
