Chapter 712
Excessive fear made Yang Fan seem to fall into a state of frenzy. He smashed the intermittently screaming dry corpse head into pieces, nearly pulverizing it, before collapsing onto the ground.
Intense fear also triggered intense courage. Only after the enemy was dead did the shadow of fear quietly seep from deep within Yang Fan’s body. In an instant, he was drenched in sweat, soaking his back, while his hands began trembling.
His gaze was locked on the dry corpse head on the ground, its one eye still glaring wide open. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "What on earth are you anyway? How can something so ugly even exist? No, wait... sorry, dead people all look like this, right? I shouldn’t insult you. Maybe I’ll look worse than you when I die."
"But how come you were just lying there as a corpse and then got up again? Fine, you came back to life, but why the hell did you have to scare me? Aren’t you supposed to be a vegetarian? What’s the deal here? Did I suddenly look appetizing to you? Damn it, you pick your prey depending on who you see?"
No violent incidents had occurred nearby, nor were there any missing persons reported, which pretty much proved that this guy probably didn’t eat humans. He might rely on some other method for cultivation or survival.
But, he displayed intense hostility towards Yang Fan.
For the time being, Yang Fan couldn’t figure out whether he had angered the guy or if the guy had deliberately targeted him.
"Forget it, considering you’re as dead as you can be, I’ll forgive your rudeness," Yang Fan suddenly quipped with a dark joke.
After resting for a while, his energy, spirit, and vitality seemed to return to his body. His mind felt a lot clearer now, and his breathing became smoother. What really pleased Yang Fan, enough to make him crack another joke, was this:
His Inner Qi had grown!
The Inner Qi that had been nearly depleted had suddenly replenished by more than half.
