The Clown stood up from the ground, brushed the dirt off his butt, and hurried to catch up with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan walked straight towards the midst of the ghost cavalry soldiers.
These ghost cavalry soldiers had all kinds of bizarre wounds. Some were missing half of their heads, some had bare shoulders where the flesh had rotted away.
Some had broken spears sticking out of their chests, and some only had half a body left sitting on the horse.
The warhorses were also in an extremely miserable state.
These cavalrymen stared blankly at Lu Yuan, and wherever Lu Yuan went, the soldiers made way for him.
The Clown looked around curiously and asked, "Dr. Lu, were there really eight thousand of them in the beginning?"
Lu Yuan walked with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "There were indeed eight thousand in the beginning."
"How about now?"
"Probably around three thousand now."
"Where did the other five thousand go?"
"I killed them."
"..."
"Haha, just kidding. Actually, the spiritual energy accumulated here was only enough to revive about three thousand."
The Clown hesitated for a moment.
"I feel like your previous sentence was the real lie. Otherwise, why would they be so afraid of you?"
"Because the remains of over forty higher ranked officers and generals are hanging in the basement of my clinic. Feel free to go appreciate them when you have time."
"Clown, you should be thankful that the revival of spiritual energy has given you the chance to observe the corpses of ancient people. Otherwise, you would only get to see piles of bones."
Clown: "Dr. Lu is right. This really is one of life's great fortunes."
Soon after, a one-armed cavalryman holding a big saber and looking like a general charged at Lu Yuan on horseback.
His rotting face could barely be distinguished for nose and mouth. He gestured at Lu Yuan incomprehensibly for a while.
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I understand, I won't blame you for it."
The cavalry general nodded vigorously, then waved at the soldiers around him to scatter and disappear into the deep fog.
Even the headless cavalryman who had attacked Sun Ying's convoy at first galloped away.
Seeing this, the Clown asked in puzzlement, "So these cavalrymen didn't actually harbor any malice towards our guests?"
Lu Yuan: "That's right. They just wanted to warn Sun Ying's group to leave quickly, but their methods were a bit too aggressive."
"..."
Because of the thick fog, Sun Ying and the others couldn't see what was happening on Lu Yuan's side at the moment.
By the time Lu Yuan led the Clown back, the crawling human skeletons were already clinging tightly onto the roof of their convoy vehicle.
The few people inside the vehicle, including Wei, Sun Ying and Long, visibly looked a few decades older.
Long was in slightly better shape, while except for a few more wrinkles on his face, Wu Xiong seemed unaffected.
Just within the short time Lu Yuan walked over from the highway, a few more wrinkles had appeared on Sun Ying's face.
"Last night I embroidered your robe, eyes brimming with sorrow for your departure."
"My warrior returns from a hundred battles, will you take me as your wife..."
The melancholy singing continued, but when the skeleton saw Lu Yuan, it stopped singing, "Ah, ah——!"
The bloated skeleton corpse looked at Lu Yuan, opening and closing its mouth, emitting a whimpering sound.
When Lu Yuan raised both his hands and made a motion like holding surgical knives for dissection, it instantly provoked a reaction in the skeleton corpse before him.
"Ah!!!"
In an instant, as if recalling some unpleasant memories, the skeleton corpse let out a shrill shriek!
Its shriveled hands that could see the bones deformed the armor plating on the vehicle roof that it was grabbing onto!
As the skeleton's shriek sounded, the protective armor on the vehicle rapidly corroded and aged!
At the same time, the skeleton's own flesh quickly grew more substantial!
The Clown silently watched everything happening in front of him, and asked expressionlessly, "Dr. Lu, relying solely on me doesn't seem very suitable against an opponent like this, right?"
"Hmm? Your task is already completed."
"I..."
The Clown understood. His purpose in coming here was just to provide Lu Yuan with some fear energy.
"My fear alone can increase your fear dimension to the intermediate level?"
Lu Yuan said lightly, "Didn't you see so many people just now, plus one clinging onto the roof over there?"
"The fear of three thousand people can enter the intermediate dimension?"
"No, twelve thousand."
"?"
"You and the one over there, the two of you count for three thousand each."
"That's still only nine thousand."
"Horses can feel fear too."
Clown: "..."
"Ah!!"
At this time, the shriek of the skeleton corpse suddenly grew louder. It suddenly jumped towards Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan pushed outward with one hand. Boom!
In an instant, with the pouncing skeleton corpse at the center, a raging fire ignited in the area in front of Lu Yuan!
"The intermediate fear dimension alters the attributes of all matter. Whether this is air or fire, cold or hot, it's all at my whim!"
"Ah!!"
The screams of the skeleton corpse grew even more wretched. It still pounced at Lu Yuan despite being engulfed in flames, and the ground it passed over rapidly turned barren and crumbled into gravel!
On the other side, Lu Yuan pressed downward with a flip of his hand, as if a wall had suddenly appeared before the skeleton corpse!
"Not just hot or cold, whether this air is gaseous or solid also depends on my will!"
Pa!
Lu Yuan snapped his fingers, and several streams of air swiftly converged above his head!
Then he lightly flicked his finger. Puff, puff, puff, puff!
The streams of air rapidly shot through, opening up four bloody holes on the limbs of the screaming skeleton corpse, nailing it to the ground!
Watching Lu Yuan's maneuver, the Clown was shocked!
"This, this is also—"
"This is the effect achieved by combining intermediate fear dimension attacks with psychic powers."
"If you want to see more..."
Next, Lu Yuan slowly raised the five fingers on his right hand, one by one.
In the area between him and the skeleton corpse, five sharp scalpel-like streams of air abruptly took form!
Seeing these familiar objects, the skeleton corpse nailed to the ground completely freaked out!
The screams coming from its mouth were like those of ghosts from the underworld!
Its eyes staring at Lu Yuan were filled with endless despair and malignance!
"Hmm hmm..."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Go!"
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish--
The five scalpels swiftly swung at the limbs and torso of the skeleton corpse!
After a while, only the skeleton was left of the corpse.
Clown: "Dr. Lu, are you going to take it back to study after slicing it up..."
"Or should I go buy some fried lotus root cakes, sweet bean sauce, cucumber shreds?"
At this time, Lu Yuan spread his hands apart.
Swoosh--
The air surrounding the skeleton instantly turned into an air fryer!
Clown: "Just missing a bit of salt and pepper, and the bones will be cooked through."
"Dr. Lu, your culinary skills sure are quite seasoned..."
"You must have eaten your share of crispy roast duck skin in the past?"
Then, Lu Yuan's hands changed motion again!
"Dr. Lu, please stop showing off..."
"Ugh--"
Lu Yuan: "You understand jackshit!"
"Only by going through this whole process can its resurrection time be prolonged to the maximum extent!"
"How does its resurrection ability compare to Lin Youyou's self-healing ability?"
"An enhanced version of Lin Youyou's."
"Did any of the abilities you gave it include Lin Youyou's self-healing power?"
"Don't ask anymore, I already regret it."
"..."
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
