Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

```

On the night when the moon was full, an isolated village nestled among the mountains.

The chilly moonlight shone down on the river flowing past the solitary village, reflecting scaly patterns of light upon the water.

The river roared and churned.

From the riverbed, a woman's corpse dressed in red and entangled in black aquatic weeds, her skull half twisted and deformed, crawled out like a lizard.

Ominous, distorted, crawling.

Zuo Qianfu hid in a small grove by the riverside, his gaze sharp as a hawk's as he watched the twisted, crawling shadow. By his side lay in ambush dozens of strong youths, armed with long spears and fishing nets, all agile and capable.

Closer, closer.

The shadow drew nearer.

A strange smell began to permeate the air, a mix of corpse stench and riverbed silt, inducing nausea.

"Attack!"

The Zuo Qianfu of today had undergone a complete transformation and was no longer the skinny youth he used to be. His physique was now robust, his muscles bulging and powerful, like a fierce tiger.

A violent shout erupted.

A glint of cold light struck first, followed by a spear thrusting forth like a dragon, its shiny silver tip suddenly hitting the chest of the mutated female corpse.

Zuo Qianfu's strength burst forth. With a twist of his hand, a continuous force of hidden power surged into the spear, piercing through the thick scales of the female corpse and impaling her.

His eyes then hardened, and with a sudden slap on the spear's shaft, the century-old white wooden spear bent into the shape of a crescent moon under the tremendous force, springing back like a spring.

Humm~

A dull thud resounded. Just as the female corpse, enraged, lunged at Zuo Qianfu, the spear snapped back, and with Zuo Qianfu's divine power, surpassing that of lions and tigers, he flipped the mutated female corpse forcefully into the ground, planting her like a stake in dry land.

"Master Zuo's skill is truly impressive."

"Everyone, attack together."

A handsome youth clad in brocade, with a sinister air between his brows, couldn't help but rejoice at the sight. He raised his hand and threw a series of darts, which struck the mutated female corpse on the ground, making a sound like metal clashing, the darts sparking and then flying off after their momentum was greatly reduced.

The surrounding men, hearing this, rushed forward. One group wrapped the mutated female corpse with a steel wire fishing net soaked in black dog's blood and other substances, while another group secured her with sturdy vines soaked in kerosene. The rest, plucking up their courage, thrust their long spears at the female corpse.

Roar~

The female corpse, in pain, let out an angry roar as moonlight coalesced around her. Suddenly, her dark aura surged, her elongated limbs grabbing the wire net and violently flinging it, sending the more than twenty men controlling the net and vines flying.

With a pull of her arms, the fishing net tore apart, but the sturdy vines remained tightly wound around her torso.

"Damn demon, be gone!"

Seeing this, Zuo Qianfu became furious and lifted his spear to advance.

At that moment, the monster's eyes, full of malice, scanned the surroundings before fixing upon Zuo Qianfu.

She suddenly screamed:

"All of you must die!"

"And you, so-called hero, you too! I am a demon, do you know the torment of Yin Qi entering the body?"

"Bu Wantian, to ascend the social ladder and marry the only daughter of a wealthy family, yet not wanting to be branded as fickle or a social climber, crushed me with a rock in my dream, and threw my body into the river."

"Heaven took pity on me, letting my corpse sink in the center of a Yin whirlpool at the bottom of the river. You all must die, you all deserve to die!"

The gigantic mutated female corpse rose to her feet, her malevolent aura surged, her eyes blood-red, facing Zuo Qianfu's shiny spear tip without flinching, letting it pierce through her shoulder blade, then with a powerful push from her hind legs, she used the recoil to accelerate her charge.

As if 'Heaven and earth would perish together', the female corpse, despite the pain of being impaled by the spear, was determined to kill the tall youth who had wounded her earlier.

Zuo Qianfu's complexion altered dramatically, never anticipating such a twist. His face twisted fiercely and without hesitation, he let go of the spear with both hands.

"Overbearing Bear Palm Technique!"

Suddenly, Zuo Qianfu's arms swelled dramatically, dark purple veins emerged on his skin like a spider's web, and as he circulated his Inner Qi, he clenched his fists and collided fiercely with the claws of the creature before him.

With a burst of rebounding force, Zuo Qianfu's breath faltered, blood spattered across the sky, and he was sent flying more than ten meters, breaking three large trees before coming to a stop.

The mutated female corpse fared no better; half of her leg was embedded into the hard ground.

Seizing this heaven-sent opportunity, the brocaded youth, referred to by the female corpse as Bu Wantian, bit his finger, took out a blood charm, and with a trace of spiritual power in his body, ignited the charm and threw it onto the vine wrapped around the female corpse's torso.

Suddenly, flames burst forth, and the female corpse turned into a huge torch, wailing loudly.

"Bu Wantian, I won't let you go. You might dodge the first but not the fifteenth. I will come back."

In midst of the wailing and screaming, the female corpse dashed away like the wind, her form again disappearing into the turbulent waters of the river.

The moonlight remained as silver as ever, and the sound of the river flowing continued unabated.

"Brother Zuo, I merely awakened some minor skills from an unorthodox path and was still unable to kill that harmful spirit. I truly apologize."

The brocaded youth, looking around at the pained cries of the young men, frowned slightly, but then made his way toward where Zuo Qianfu had fallen.

By now, Zuo Qianfu had picked up his spear and struggled to his feet. He wiped the blood from his lips and raspily said:

"Brother Bu, tell me if what that evil spirit said earlier is true!"

"Of course not. Believe the words of a ghost? As the saying goes, the innocent prove their innocence, and the impure reveal their own impurity. Brother Zuo, if you don't believe me, you can go to the city and report to the officials." The brocaded youth spread his hands, an expression of grievance on his face,
