Chapter 48: The Poisoned Martial Cultivator

~12 min read 2,230 words

It proved once again that Dugu Qingli’s judgment was correct... There was no need to touch these corpses at all; the aura of these living people was the fuse for the corpse change!

"Whoosh!" A divine sword with faint purple light hovered in front of Shen Tang. It was the trump card flying sword that she hadn't used since Lu Xingzhou met her.

"Boom!" The overwhelming sword light crushed over, and the corpses were still moving slowly and hadn't had time to stand up before they were crushed by this sword, instantly turning into broken limbs and arms, extremely fierce.

Imperial Extreme World-Shocking, gods and ghosts avoid.

But Shen Tang’s sword was effective, but her expression was even more solemn.

Those corpses began to squirm and re-spliced themselves.

"Clang!" Dugu Qingli’s ice sword was drawn, her figure flashed, and the sword light appeared.

The white-haired girl stood in the center of the corpse group with her sword held horizontally, and the surrounding squirming corpses gradually froze, then shattered with a bang, and the ice crystals scattered.

Lu Xingzhou felt that no matter how the two of them were strong, they were holding it tight in terms of aesthetics. It was really beautiful...

"Not as strong as imagined." Dugu Qingli commented: "These should be attendants brought by guests, who were killed by the array in this place before they could react... Their strength in life was in the upper three grades, but they have been dead for so long, their power has disappeared, and the remaining soul fire is extremely weak, not difficult to deal with."

Upper three grades as attendants, and so many of them, would make others terrified, but the three people in the field didn't show much surprise.

All three had profound inheritances, and coincidentally, they were the top three in the Great Qian today... although they were all young and only had a small part of the inheritance, it was enough to call themselves the ceiling of knowledge for newcomers.

They all knew that the real immortals didn't even use the current nine-grade grading method; that was the grading that the current practitioners made themselves. The so-called upper three grades now were probably just getting started in the eyes of immortals? The specifics were not very certain.

"Array..." Lu Xingzhou rowed his wheelchair and circled: "There is indeed a soul-snatching array hidden here. They were directly extracted from their souls and died instantly, and the array was quickly destroyed by someone... Hmm, you leave ten feet away."

Both of them retreated ten feet, watching Lu Xingzhou take out a set of array flags, inserting them on the left and supplementing them on the right, and then rowed away at high speed: "This array has been changed by me. Now it is a fixed-soul array. If there is a difficult opponent later, remember to lead him here. The swaying soul fire of the dead is very restrained by this kind of array."

Dugu Qingli looked at his desperate performance, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

It always felt that Lu Xingzhou was deep and unpredictable, but when it came down to it, he was still a young man...

She didn't know that this smile of hers looked like a ghost in Shen Tang’s eyes.

This might be the first time Shen Tang had seen her smile since she had known her for so long! But the smile disappeared in an instant, and Shen Tang was a little suspicious for a while whether she had misread it just now.

Forget it, this is not the occasion to pay attention to these.

Dugu Qingli still pushed Lu Xingzhou, and Shen Tang was still opening the way in front. There were divisions and forks ahead, roughly pill rooms, weapon refining rooms, and so on.

Shen Tang also opened the door and looked at them. There were no finished products in the weapon refining room, but there were a few good materials, which she collected directly; the pill room was full of expired medicinal materials, no finished pills, and no furnace.

Very normal, the furnace and pills were outside... This place was roughly just for medicinal material storage, but it was useless after such a long time.

Judging from the overall layout, this cave was small and relatively simple, just a temporary residence. Not far ahead, they reached the core of the cave, and a standing corpse came into view.

The corpse’s muscles were intact, tall and mighty, with muscles knotted and blocks distinct. It could be seen that the body tempering was strong in life, and even if he died, he was standing with his eyes wide open, feeling that he should be a brave martial cultivator in life.

Carefully bypassing to the front to look, he found that the death was extremely miserable. Looking at the body from behind, it was complete, but looking at the front, the abdomen was pierced and rotten, completely corroded, revealing an empty big hole, and the internal organs were all gone.

Lu Xingzhou’s heart moved: "The tea in the front hall is problematic... He found he was poisoned and angrily chased the original owner, but eventually died of poison."

"Then... where is the original owner?" Shen Tang looked around but didn't see it, but saw the phosphorus fire in the corpse’s eyes suddenly brighten.

Dugu Qingli, who was prepared, immediately stabbed the corpse puppet’s brow with a sword, and the frost instantly spread from the brow, freezing the soul fire.

"Frost Heaven Freezing Moon?" The corpse puppet actually spoke: "How is it so weak..."

Dugu Qingli: "..."

The steel-like arm slapped Dugu Qingli’s lower abdomen like lightning. Shen Tang slashed with her sword to the side, "clang," the arm didn't even break a cut, but Shen Tang’s overbearing power slashed the corpse puppet’s offensive slightly offset.

But it was only slightly offset.

Dugu Qingli dodged and the ice sword had reached the back of the corpse puppet’s head.

The corpse puppet still didn't dodge or evade, took her sword, and pushed Shen Tang’s sword away with one hand: "Imperial Extreme... Heaven-Walking Sword Technique? Heh."

This familiar tone, besides proving that everyone’s inheritance was very long, proved nothing. In fact, no matter the enemy or friend, no matter the good or evil of this person, in the state of a corpse puppet, these were meaningless. He would only have the hatred of dying, and equally create all living people.

The two women ignored him, circled the corpse puppet and attacked fiercely, but it was unscathed.

This didn't seem to be fightable. They couldn't break the opponent’s defense, but the opponent’s fist strength was injured if touched.

Even if he had died for so long and his strength had regressed countless times, this corpse puppet was now firmly above the third grade! Fortunately, this was not a deliberately arranged corpse refining, otherwise, if he retained his strength in life, everyone would not be able to deal with it at all.

Lu Xingzhou observed for a while, slapped his wheelchair and retreated: "Come."

The two immediately remembered the array they had changed before and fled quickly.

Even if the corpse puppet could speak and had spiritual light, the spiritual light was actually chaotic, the soul fire swayed, and the reaction was slow. Seeing that the two opponents who had been fighting him suddenly ran away, he was stunned for several breaths before chasing after him with big strides: "Coward... sure enough, they are all cowards under the Mohe sect..."

Mohe? Who is that...

He recognized the Frost Heaven Freezing Moon Sword and the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture. Could it be that both were Mohe inheritances? But everyone’s classics didn't record this person...

Or another explanation, Mohe was the original owner of this place, and this person’s brain was not flexible enough to think that he was fighting Mohe. As for why Mohe’s sect had these cultivation techniques, his brain was not enough to think about it.

The second explanation is more likely.

Thoughts flashed, and the three had retreated to the front of the array.

"Boom!" The corpse puppet stopped, ejected like a cannonball, and went straight to Lu Xingzhou, who seemed to be the most unable to move.

Lu Xingzhou slapped his wheelchair, and the wheelchair ejected several feet flexibly. The corpse puppet seemed to have never seen such a "high-tech" thing, and was stunned for a moment, and had already fallen into the array.

The next moment, he hugged his head, a painful roar, and the soul fire in his eyes flickered.

Fixed-Soul Array!

Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli waited for this moment, and two sharp sword lights went straight to his temples.

Lu Xingzhou had a talisman in his hand, ignited it quickly, and a bolt of thunder in mid-air struck the corpse puppet’s forehead heavily.

Five Thunders Orthodox Method, the absolute nemesis of the Yin corpse class!

"Roar!" The corpse puppet erupted with violent gang qi, shaking Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli away.

Shen Tang’s cultivation was higher, so she was better, but Dugu Qingli was clearly shaken and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Xingzhou happened to be in the direction she was falling backward, and immediately adjusted the wheelchair to catch her.

With a "bang," Dugu Qingli fell in, and Lu Xingzhou’s hands couldn't hold her, and the whole person fell into his arms, hitting his internal organs as if they were about to shift.

The wheelchair was slid backward wildly, hitting the corner of the wall.

It happened to be a rotating secret door, which turned in directly and closed directly.

"Grass!" Lu Xingzhou couldn't hold his momentum, and threw a talisman quickly as the secret door closed.

Shen Tang over there stopped her falling figure, flew over to open the door urgently, but this time she couldn't push it open no matter what.

Shen Tang looked at the closed wall and was dumbfounded.

You used such a hugging posture to hide in the secret room?

Should I blow a flute outside to help the fun?

The corpse puppet is still there, the situation does not allow Shen Tang to find the switch slowly. She quickly picked up the talisman that Lu Xingzhou deliberately threw out, held the sword and turned around, staring nervously at the corpse puppet in the array.

The corpse puppet stood there woodenly, the soul fire in his eyes flickering: "I... am dead?"

Fixed-soul naturally has such an effect, making his soul sea peaceful, and naturally distinguishing the current situation. The sword of the two and Lu Xingzhou’s thunder just now also played a relevant effect.

Shen Tang didn't dare to be careless, cautious: "Yes. We are juniors who came to explore, not the enemy of the senior. Just now the senior’s soul fire was chaotic, we had to offend."

The corpse puppet was silent for a while, and slowly said: "Mohe?"

Sure enough, Mohe is the original owner... Shen Tang said: "We didn't see it."

"Yes, he fled far away with serious injuries... But he will definitely come back..." The corpse puppet said slowly: "He borrowed the momentum of mountains and rivers to refine the Dragon-Tiger Pill, trying to become an immortal in one step... This pill was not completed at that time. When the pill is completed, he will definitely come back to take it..."

Shen Tang didn't speak.

It turns out that the original owner fled in a hurry at that time. I don't know what the reason was, but he never returned, and even missed the day the pill was completed... There is a certain probability that he really died outside or was captured or trapped. But as long as he didn't die, he could come back at any time.

The corpse puppet said again: "Mohe fled in a hurry at that time, and many things were not taken away. Since you are here to explore, come over, I will tell you where Mohe’s things are..."

Shen Tang walked over slowly, stepped into the array, and was startled: "Not good!"

"Greedy fool!" The corpse puppet laughed wildly: "Taste the taste of your own fixed-soul array?"

With the sound, the soul fire flourished, and an extremely cold aura rushed straight to Shen Tang’s spirit platform: "This body is broken, and I can’t wait for Mohe to return... Although you are a woman, the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture is practiced well, which is enough for me to stay temporarily..."

Possession!

A mocking smile appeared in Shen Tang’s eyes, and a talisman appeared in her hand, "slap" and stuck it on her forehead.

Corpse puppet: "?"

A simple ghost-repelling talisman!

Shen Tang sneered: "If you really want to tell me where Mohe’s things are, why do you need me to walk close? Do you really think I’m stupid?"

The corpse puppet’s soul seemed to hit a wall, and the already broken soul fire almost shattered. The corpse puppet screamed, returned to the body, broke free from the shackles of the fixed-soul array, and retreated to the core of the cave.

Shen Tang looked back at the secret door: "There is a treasure here, I can’t let him out of my sight. In case he recovers or gets some powerful magic treasure, we will all die here... I will go and entangle him, you come out early... don’t make a baby!"
