On his way, Xu Fan avoided the patrolling Demon Ghosts and swiftly traversed through the night. Soon, he reached the vicinity of the house where the Thorn Squad was being held.

Hiding himself in the darkness, Xu Fan looked towards the entrance and saw two men dressed in Miaojiang attire standing guard under the dim yellow light.

Xu Fan had no sympathy for these Heavenly Witch Sect members. He raised his hand, and soon, two streams of Qi Force condensed, like sharp swords, slicing through the air towards the two men!

Bang! Bang!

An Entering Dao Realm master, even with just a palm strike, could deliver a lethal blow!

These two were merely the lowest-level disciples of the Heavenly Witch Sect and had no time to react before they were killed.

Not daring to be careless, Xu Fan swiftly moved to the doorway like a cat.

After finding the main gate key on the two men, Xu Fan carefully opened the door and threw the bodies inside.

He then slipped into the house himself.

As soon as he entered, a pungent smell of blood hit his nose!

Covering his nose, Xu Fan looked ahead and saw that several soldiers hanging in the room had already died, their bodies emanating a rotting stench.

"Damn..."

Scanning the room, Xu Fan did not see Zhang Shicun's fiancée, making him feel uneasy.

He approached one of the surviving soldiers and began administering first aid to him.

"Cough... cough..."

"You... Who are you?"

Fortunately, his efforts paid off as the soldier gradually regained consciousness.

Seeing the soldier's confused eyes, Xu Fan smiled wryly and said, "I am Zhang Shicun's brother, here to rescue you."

"Zhang... Lieutenant Colonel Zhang's friend?"

Having endured inhuman torture in this place, the soldier's lifeless face lit up with joy upon hearing that someone had come to rescue them.

But soon, the joy turned into overwhelming fear.

"You... you'd better leave, these people, they are not human!"

Recalling the cruelty of their captors, terror filled the soldier's eyes, and he desperately shook his head at Xu Fan.

The Thorn Squad had already fallen into these monsters' hands. He did not want anyone else to suffer the same fate!

"Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but these people are not someone you can handle alone. Listen to me, please, leave quickly..."

Enduring his pain, the soldier gritted his teeth and tried to convince Xu Fan to leave.

Xu Fan looked at him and shook his head, smiling helplessly.

"Alright, don't worry about me for now. Let me get you down first."

There were still a few soldiers in the room who could be saved. Xu Fan carefully lowered the soldier and then began to rescue the others.

"Not good! They... they are coming!"

Before Xu Fan could wake everyone, the soldier whispered urgently.

Following his gaze towards the doorway, Xu Fan could hear footsteps approaching.

Evidently, they had discovered the missing guards outside. The footsteps quickened, heading towards them.

"Brother..."

The soldier knew that a fierce battle was imminent. He gritted his teeth, preparing to rise and fight alongside Xu Fan.

"You stay down, I'll handle this."

Xu Fan came over and pressed him back down.

"But..."

Knowing that even if he could stand, he would be of little help.

But how could Xu Fan face the strong enemies outside alone?

Lying on the ground and looking at the doorway, the soldier's heart filled with anxiety.

Bang!

Soon, the people outside arrived and kicked open the door with a bang.

"It's you?"

The man leading the group was the one who had previously captured Xu Fan and Gongsun Qin.

Apparently, Xu Fan being out of the cellar did not please him.

"Kid, how did you escape?"

Xu Fan should have been paralyzed by the Demon Ghosts' poison and bound by the Ghost Withered Vine Lock. How could he possibly...

"What? Did you think a few Demon Ghosts could hold me?"

"If I hadn't needed to find your hideout, you'd already be dead."

Meeting the confused gaze of his captor, Xu Fan smirked.

"Hahaha! What a joke!"

Xu Fan's taunting gaze made the man burst into laughter.

Just because he took down a couple of guards, did he think he could take on the whole camp alone?

Wishful thinking!

"I planned to turn you into a Living Corpse after dealing with other matters, but you being uncooperative means I'll have to teach you a lesson first."

They had intended to turn Xu Fan and Gongsun Qin into Living Corpses.

Xu Fan escaping from the cellar had already put him in a foul mood.

With a few signals, his men stepped forward.

Evidently, they wanted to show Xu Fan the consequences of escaping.

"Attack!"

At the command, several of them drew their weapons and charged at Xu Fan!

Seeing their aggressive approach, Xu Fan snorted coldly.

Before they could get close, Xu Fan raised his palm gracefully, and struck out!

In an instant, the air seemed to stir as if a rock had fallen, rippling outwards!

The ripples spread and collided with the charging attackers, causing intense quakes!

Under the ripple's effect, the fierce Heavenly Witch Sect assassins showed extreme terror on their faces in the blink of an eye!

The fear spread, turning into agony, and with the sound of cracking bones, they lost their balance and fell.

"This..."

The palm strike was eerily silent, yet it killed several of his best men.

Adal's gaze towards Xu Fan turned wary.

"Hehehe, kid, you've got some skills..."

But the wariness was fleeting.

Adal's eyes on Xu Fan grew gleeful.

"I can't wait to turn you into a Living Corpse."

"Hehehe, with such Cultivation Level, becoming a Living Corpse with iron bones and bronze skin, what a masterpiece it will be?"

Initially, Adal hadn't thought much of Xu Fan after he fell to the Demon Ghosts' poison so easily.

But Xu Fan's displayed cultivation level now had him excited.

The higher the cultivation level of the martial artist, the stronger the Living Corpse.

Xu Fan gave him hope, the hope of creating a Unique Grade Living Corpse!
