407 Corpse Boy
When the black-robed man was angry, his voice changed from that of a man to that of a woman. To be more precise, it sounded like a witch.
“How dare you? It seems like if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t hand over the thing obediently.”
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle and opened the lid. He poured some liquid into the black boy’s mouth. The moment he opened the bottle cap, Qin Xi smelled a nauseating smell.
Was that… cadaveric oil?
The boy hugged the small bottle and poured it into his mouth. His severely injured body instantly healed, and he gradually turned from a palm-sized body to a year old. The black fog around it became even stronger, and his green eyes turned red. He bared his fangs at Qin Xi.
Qin Xi said in disgust, “What an ugly and disgusting thing.”
Qin Xi summoned the Chain of Darkness and threw it at the boy at an extremely fast speed. The boy opened his mouth, ready to bite it. He believed that the hardness of his teeth could even bite rocks like bread, let alone a chain.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Qin Xi’s strength and the power of an ancient artifact.
Not only did he fail to bite it, but the dark chain also wrapped around him at an extremely strange speed. He struggled with all his might and let out a scream that was enough to shatter the surrounding porcelains. However, the more he struggled, the tighter the dark chain became. In the end, his power was drained away bit by bit, and he returned to the size of a palm.
The more the black-robed man looked at the Chain of Darkness, the greedier his eyes became. He grabbed it, but the Chain of Darkness did not resist. The black-robed man thought that he had succeeded. Just as he was about to pull it down, a strange dark fire suddenly burned on the Chain of Darkness.
The black-robed man subconsciously shook off the Chain of Darkness, but it was too late. The dark fire instantly devoured his entire right arm.
He covered his arm in horror and screamed, “Ah!!!”
However, this was not the end. The fire burned brighter and brighter, burning down his arm to his chest. In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped by the dark fire and let out a miserable scream.
Qin Xi was stunned. She had never used the Dark Fire on anyone before. Seeing him in so much pain, she was a little surprised.
She thought that it would only burn for a moment, but a few seconds later, the black-robed man was burned to ashes, leaving only clothes on the ground.
Um… He died just like that?
Seeing such a powerful fire, the boy was immediately frightened. If even his master was burned to death, wouldn’t he die faster?
At the thought of this, just as he was about to escape, the dark chain on his body tightened again, as if it knew what he was going to do.
Qin Xi sized up the boy seriously and threatened with a faint smile, “Tell me, what exactly are you?”
The boy did not want to say it at first, but the dark chain wrapped around his body frightened him into answering.
“I’m Lord Yin’s corpse boy. Please don’t kill me. I was forced to do this. If I don’t listen, he will turn me into corpse water. The thing I drank just now… was the corpse water of the other disobedient corpse boys…”
The boy lowered his head. “Although I look like I was just born, I’m actually already eight years old. However, Lord Yin used a very cruel method to make me like this.”
