Chapter 2788: Chapter 116: Kneel

"The world is like a chess game, all living things are like the pieces..."

At that moment, Mo Hua had a deeper understanding of this phrase.

And just as Mo Hua was moved, a familiar evil thought suddenly spread, and a strange, deathly silence emanated from beneath the earth.

It was as if something had come back to life again.

Mo Hua was startled, then his pupils trembled slightly, and he immediately shouted:

"Lugu, be careful!"

This sentence was very abrupt, breaking the current atmosphere.

Lugu, immersed in sorrow, was somewhat confused.

The next moment, the soil beneath his feet exploded, and a huge bloodstained hand reached out from under the earth, gripping Lugu’s right leg tightly.

Lugu’s expression changed.

The others were also shocked.

They were very familiar with this hand.

Just now, it was this hand that had crushed the skulls of many barbarian soldiers, tearing apart dozens of bodies alive.

Mo Hua immediately shouted: "Retreat!"

The crowd held their shock in their hearts and backed away one by one.

The heavily armed Bone soldiers detected the abnormality and gathered, protecting Mo Hua in front.

Lugu’s right leg was held tightly, unable to break free.

Just then, the stone monument personally erected by Lugu exploded completely, and amidst the flying dirt, a figure as gigantic and fierce as an evil god crawled out from the depths of the ground.

It seemed as though a dead evil ghost had returned to the living world.

Everyone was visibly stunned.

"Sishen!"

"He’s still not dead?!"

The first thing Sishen did upon climbing up from the underground was rush toward Lugu.

The bloody, dirt-stained arm firmly grasped Lugu’s right leg.

The fingertips pierced into Lugu’s flesh, making it impossible for Lugu to break free.

And Sishen’s body, once as massive as a monster’s in life, had now become surprisingly soft, like a boneless mass of flesh, transforming into a giant boa constrictor wrapping tightly around Lugu.

Then Sishen opened his massive mouth, carrying a stench of decay, and bit at Lugu’s neck.

He intended to "consume" Lugu, sucking his brother’s flesh—like he did to the third of the Shugu Monsters.

At the critical moment, battle-hardened Lugu reversed his grip and drove the Demon Bone Cutting Knife diagonally into his back.

The Demon Bone Cutting Knife slashed through the flesh on Lugu’s back, but at the last moment, it wedged itself into Sishen’s mouth poised to devour.

Sishen’s mouth split open, teeth biting tightly onto Lugu’s Bone Knife, looking ferocious.

Lugu’s fresh blood stimulated the craving inside Sishen.

His younger brother had killed him, severing his last chance at life.

And now, he wanted to "consume" his younger brother, savoring the flesh of family.

A profound desire filled Sishen’s heart.

Sishen began to exert strength, his limbs like a giant boa, locking Lugu with terrifying strength, his mouth and teeth moving, bit by bit, toward Lugu’s neck over the Bone Knife.

Even if his mouth and teeth were cut by the Bone Knife, the gums deformed, corrupted blood oozed out, and his head seemed to be split in two by the Bone Knife.

Yet Sishen still looked excited, determined to bite into Lugu’s neck regardless.

It seemed as if tasting the flesh of his brother would make the splitting of his head worthwhile.

Even Lugu, being caught so closely, could not break free momentarily.

Mo Hua said sternly: "Strike together!"

Dan Zhu and Chi Feng immediately joined forces, one wielding Mystic Fire Feather to burn the four limbs of Sishen, while the other thrust a burning long spear straight at Sishen’s face.

The other twelve Golden Core masters also attacked, various magic treasures, bone artifacts, and witchcraft all targeted Sishen.

Such numerous Golden Core strikes occurring simultaneously should not be underestimated.

Sishen’s flesh was immediately mangled, his body covered in wounds, and his firm grip on Lugu’s arms loosened somewhat.

Lugu finally seized the slight slack in strength, let out a furious roar, reversed the Bone Blade, and with the overwhelming force of his Late Golden Core Stage, slashed hard at his own arm.

Sishen’s flesh body was intertwined with him.

To kill Sishen, he would inevitably cut himself as well.

But at this moment, he could not care less.

Lugu’s slash indeed injured himself substantially, shaving off a large piece of flesh from his own right arm, blood gushing out.

But he also took the opportunity to sever Sishen’s right arm.

Sishen’s iron-like arm, with a lock-like grip, lost an arm in the process.

Lugu felt the constriction vanish, turned his left hand around, and punched Sishen’s chest.

Sishen’s chest caved in a large portion, knocking him back four or five steps.

Lugu also followed up by retreating, completely breaking free from the biting, and when he steadied himself, his whole body was in pain, his right arm exposed, bleeding profusely.

Yet Lugu did not pay heed to these wounds, but rather raised his head, carefully scrutinizing his "resurrected" brother.

If earlier Sishen could be described as a "living dead" with a shred of life still remaining, his rationality almost wiped out by hunger.

Now Sishen was a completely life-lacking, even mind-lacking, indescribable "flesh monster".

His heart vein had been dug out, his chest a dark cavity, oozing black blood.

His limbs were severed and hastily pieced together at the time of burial.

But now, Lugu inadvertently moved, his limbs and body fused into one, resembling a self-sewn flesh monster.

"Corpse transformation?!"

Lugu’s pupils contracted.

Yet even for corpse transformation, it couldn’t happen so quickly...

Corpse transformation requires long years to absorb heavenly yin energy, the essence of sun and moon, or the filthy qi precipitated by the earth.

It’s not something that transforms just by burying it.

Corpse Refinement isn’t possible either; no one could have refined his immensely powerful brother into a zombie, let alone that Corpse Refinement also requires time.

Sishen also showed no signs of having been "refined".
