The corpse's stiffness carried a chilling wind, lunging towards Nangong Tianlu.
Worried that Lin Xuan might get hurt, Long Xiao quickly took out the Vajra Pestle of Subduing Demons from his pocket and stood in front of her.
"Lin Xuan, let's go. This guy is very powerful. The Nangong family definitely can't handle him," Long Xiao said, watching the corpse fight Nangong Tianlu.
"No, Mr. Luo and the others haven't arrived yet. I need to call them first. What if they get hurt when they arrive?"
Lin Xuan made a phone call while Long Xiao stood in front of her, watching Nangong Tianlu and the corpse fight.
Nangong Tianlu's strength was formidable, having reached the early stage of the Earth level. Every punch he threw carried a whistling wind.
The corpse was completely different from the zombies in movies and TV shows. Not only were its movements agile, but it also understood some martial arts. Their fight was no different from two normal people brawling.
Due to the difference in strength, the corpse was often hit by Nangong Tianlu. After being punched, the corpse would only retreat one or two steps, its body emitting thudding sounds.
With every punch that landed on the corpse, a trace of pain would appear on Nangong Tianlu's face. It seemed the corpse's body was too hard; every time Nangong Tianlu hit it, his hand would be injured.
Without the absolute strength to shatter the corpse with a single punch, using fists against it was the most foolish approach. Fighting like this, he was bound to lose eventually, perhaps even losing his life.
Long Xiao wasn't entirely confident in dealing with this corpse, so he merely watched from the side, with no intention of intervening.
Just as Lin Xuan's call was connected, a car stopped not far from them.
"Ms. Lin, we've arrived. It's quite lively here, let's take a look before we go," Luo Xiaotong said.
Luo Xiaotong was the boss of Kangtai Pharmaceuticals. He owned seven pharmacies in Donghai and a company specializing in medical equipment. The people who came today were all in the pharmaceutical industry, including salesmen and business owners.
Luo Xiaotong got out of the car and approached Long Xiao and the others. Lin Xuan introduced Long Xiao to him.
Luo Xiaotong glanced at Long Xiao and reluctantly extended his hand, saying, "Long Xiao, I actually sympathize with you. Being a live-in son-in-law is really tough, always being bullied."
Seeing Luo Xiaotong's mocking expression, Long Xiao didn't say much. He didn't want to offend Luo Xiaotong and make Lin Xuan angry.
Nangong Tianlu's fight with the corpse continued, but now a few more people had joined, all of them Nangong family thugs.
After watching for a few minutes, others arrived one after another. Everyone agreed that eating could wait; they wanted to watch the excitement first.
These people seemed to know about Long Xiao's status as a live-in son-in-law. They talked amongst themselves, and no one was willing to speak with Long Xiao.
After watching for a while, Long Xiao said, "If this continues, Nangong Tianlu won't be able to leave."
"Long Xiao, did you notice something?" Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao shook his head. "I only understand some aspects of feng shui. I don't understand this."
Lin Xuan said, "The Divine Doctor Long Xiaotian should understand this. If he were here, he could definitely defeat this corpse."
After watching the spectacle for a while, a few more cars stopped near Yuelai Restaurant.
Seeing the people getting out of the cars, Lin Xuan was taken aback. She hadn't expected her grandfather, Lin Wei, to come.
Yuan Nandou walked at the front, followed by Hua Xianfeng, Lin Wei, and several other experts from Donghai's metaphysical community.
"Grandpa, why are you here too?" Lin Xuan ran to Lin Wei and said.
Lin Wei looked at Lin Xuan and Long Xiao. "You are both here? That puts my mind at ease."
Lin Xuan didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Wei's words. She pointed to the corpse fighting Nangong Tianlu. "Grandpa, that thing is too powerful. The Nangong family might not be its match."
Lin Wei glanced at Long Xiao. Seeing that Long Xiao said nothing, he didn't elaborate. He said to Lin Xuan, "Let's just watch for now. Someone will surely be able to deal with it."
After watching for a few minutes, Lin Wei secretly shook his head. He couldn't find any weakness in the corpse and didn't know how to dispel its negative energy.
Lin Wei looked at Yuan Nandou and Hua Xianfeng. Both of them also shook their heads slightly, indicating they had no way to dispel the corpse's negative energy.
As they were watching, Long Xiao's phone suddenly rang.
Long Xiao pressed the answer button. After listening for a minute, he said urgently, "Wife, I don't have time to have dinner with you. There's a patient at Xinglin Caotang who needs emergency treatment."
Lin Xuan looked at Long Xiao worriedly and asked, "Can you handle it? Why don't you rush him to the hospital?"
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Mi Tianfu has already called Li Yizhen. With him there, it should be fine."
Long Xiao drove away. Lin Xuan prepared to leave with Luo Xiaotong and the others to find a place to eat. However, they were so engrossed in watching that they could only stay and watch with them.
More and more people gathered. Nangong Tianlu and his subordinates were fighting with increasing difficulty, and gradually, some people started to get injured and withdraw from the fight.
The old man in the Tang suit stood with his hands behind his back, watching Nangong Tianlu and the corpse fight with confidence, occasionally making sarcastic remarks.
"Hurry up and call your father out. If your father comes late, he won't even see your intact body."
Nangong Tianlu grew more and more alarmed as he fought. This corpse was completely indestructible, and its attack speed remained constant, like a perpetual motion machine, never tiring.
After watching for a while, Yuan Nandou shook his head helplessly and took out his phone to call Nangong Fu.
"Nangong Fu, I can't take this job. This is a white-haired corpse. Our strength isn't enough to break its negative energy."
"Master Yuan, if the three of you can't do anything, then this corpse has no opponent in Donghai."
"That should be the case. However, it's not necessarily true that there's no opponent. A few days ago, the Divine Doctor Long Xiaotian appeared. If we can find him, he should be able to deal with this corpse."
The Divine Doctor Long Xiaotian was elusive. He hadn't appeared for over a decade, but suddenly showed up at a medical association conference a few days ago, only to disappear again.
At that time, various forces in Donghai had sent people to search for his whereabouts, but not a single piece of information about him was found.
"Master Yuan, the Divine Doctor Long Xiaotian is as elusive as a dragon's head and a snake's tail. Where do you expect me to find him?"
"If you can't find him, you'll have to handle this matter yourself. We are truly helpless."
After ending the call, Lin Wei looked thoughtfully at the corpse and suddenly said, "I can try. The pure yang and fiery energy of 'Crimson Flame Insect Amber' might be able to dispel this corpse's negative energy."
"Then hurry and get it. Nangong Tianlu looks like he can't hold on much longer," Hua Xianfeng said.
Lin Wei reached into his pocket and took out a small box. "I usually carry something this important with me."
Yuan Nandou looked at Hua Xianfeng, and they both nodded. Yuan Nandou said, "Old Lin, you make your move. We two will assist you."
Yuan Nandou and Hua Xianfeng each took out their magical artifacts and walked forward with Lin Wei.
"Nangong Tianlu, step back. Leave this guy to the three of us," Lin Wei said.
The Nangong family was primarily involved in the funeral business and had close ties with the Donghai metaphysical community. He knew these three big names from Donghai's metaphysical world.
"You've finally arrived! That's great," Nangong Tianlu said happily, signaling his subordinates to retreat and making space for the three.
