Chapter 9: Death Again
These ghostly entities are not considered strong
A sense of helplessness arose in Su Mu's heart, and then his consciousness fell into darkness
It is a pity that the martial arts cultivation is too low. If one were a top-tier martial artist, then what would happen
Their speed is quite fast, but their strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, resulting in limited lethality
After the death of Sumu, the other four corpses quickly followed suit, frantically devouring his flesh and blood
A strange burst of laughter echoed through the dilapidated temple
... ...
He has died again
Vigorous blood and an extremely heavy yin energy. Are there still such people in the world? How strange, how strange!
However, one must know what to do and what not to do
Only by dismembering them into eight pieces can they be completely killed
Throughout the journey, not a single person was seen, nor even a bird or beast.
The reason for being able to deceive the eyes of the Su Mu should be attributed to the use of skills such as illusion.
Previously, the attempt to ambush him, "Lu Qingqing," was also a withered and ghastly corpse
The locust tree is no more than ten feet away, how could I not have noticed it at all just now
But unfortunately, even after dealing with these specters, the surrounding gray mist still did not dissipate
It is truly exasperating
The moment I stepped in, I suddenly felt as if I were being engulfed by darkness, as if I had fallen into a quagmire
By a stroke of misfortune, a corpse puppet transformed by Li Tiezhu seized the opportunity and bit down on the neck
I never expected to die at his hands in this lifetime
No matter how I try, I cannot find a way out
Step! Step! Step!
The time of Zi (11 PM to 1 AM) is the most inauspicious time of the day
However, stepping into this dilapidated temple will not yield any good results
... ...
Their eyes were filled with fear, their faces contorted together
How did this dilapidated temple come to be here
Hahaha! Hahaha!
He must extract more useful information to prepare for the next rebirth
In no time, the tall and strong body of Su Mu was reduced to nothing but a skeleton.
When Su Mu's thoughts were in disarray, the two dilapidated temple doors slowly opened
Sumu stepped into the dilapidated temple step by step
Even though Sumu is now only a hair's breadth away from being a third-rate martial artist
In the tank, there are countless white bones, and there are four corpses that have not been completely consumed, which belong to Lu Tianlang's family of four
Let alone that he has also practiced martial arts
The dilapidated clay sculpture, laughing uncontrollably, appears exceedingly bizarre
Why did the honest, kind-hearted Li Tiezhu suddenly eat his own son during the famine, not even sparing him
What happened next, however, exceeded Su Mu's expectations
The Lu family has shown him kindness, yet now they have met a tragic end here due to his involvement
... ...
It is unclear how long they had been walking when a strange sound suddenly echoed.
As it spoke, the damaged clay statue emitted bursts of strange laughter, causing waves of sharp pain in Su Mu's mind
What are you?
After killing the first ghostly creature, seven or eight more sprang out from the mist
At this moment, he vaguely understood what had transpired
Accompanied by this sound, the surrounding gray mist receded like a tide
It now appears that it has been influenced by some strange force
However, actions are still greatly restricted
A gust of cold wind blew through, carrying with it a strange scent of meat.
However, it did not notice that the skeleton of Sumu was completely gnawed clean, and the little finger joint trembled slightly
It has finally come to fruition! By absorbing this blood food, my Five Elements Corpse Puppet will be refined!
As it drew closer, the energy of the metal element continuously penetrated Su Mu's body, damaging his flesh and vital essence
What is even more dire is that those five corpses have already come to kill him
To desecrate the Daoist Master is a crime that deserves punishment
The entirety of Su Mu's strength was instantly reduced to only about 50 to 60 percent.
It is precisely that dilapidated temple where I perished in my previous life
I am the Daoist Master, do you dare to insult me
This dilapidated temple is clearly not a good place
The cedar trapped in the gray mist feels as if it is in a vast labyrinth
It seems that one did not anticipate ending up in this situation
Su Mu clearly saw that one of the five humanoid ghostly figures bore a striking resemblance to Li Tiezhu
... ...
Why not quickly shed your flesh and blood to assist me in refining the Five Elements Corpse Puppet
At the same time, pale ghostly hands reached out from the ground and walls, grasping towards Su Mu from all directions
Su Mu swung his knife repeatedly, severing numerous ghostly hands
Instead, the clay sculpture in the center of the dilapidated temple suddenly moved its eyes and began to speak to Su Mu
Upon sensing this smell, Su Mu could not help but break out in goosebumps
Although he was prepared for death, Sumu could not simply die like that
The clay sculpture was clearly right in front of him, yet when he struck it, it felt as if he was hitting a mere illusion, having no effect whatsoever
No matter what Su Mu says, it is impossible for him to just walk away like this
Regardless of the circumstances, he cannot abandon the Lu Tianlang family of four
The five corpse puppets in the temple are referred to as the Five Elements Corpse Puppets by that clay sculpture
Moreover, the body is resilient, and the vitality is exceptionally strong
The hour of the Rat has arrived, the heavenly gate opens
Su Mu examined and found that these ghostly entities seemed to have been transformed from corpses
Creak ~ ~ ~
Outrageous
After a quarter of an hour of engagement, Su Mu had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position
A sense of unease crept into Su Mu's heart, as an ominous premonition surged to its peak
This caused his heart to sink to the depths in an instant
In the temple, five humanoid ghostly figures surrounded a large vat, ravenously devouring its contents
Swish!
It also carries a strange and chilling aura of the metal element, specifically of the Geng (庚) type.
is worlds apart from those goods outside
Sumu ignored the five ghostly figures that were clearly puppets, and one of them leaped towards the clay statue, swinging a large broadsword down fiercely!
These two inherently different entities, when combined in this rare occurrence, have become the most exquisite sustenance for the corpses!
Sumu furrowed his brow and whispered something, then began to search in the gray mist
For example, the Geng Metal Corpse Puppet transformed by Li Tiezhu is not only powerful, has high defense, but also possesses great speed
However, they were all slain one by one by Sumu
But soon, his heart was filled with anger
The five humanoid monsters continued to devour wildly, seemingly unaware of the presence of Sumu not far in front of them
Subsequently, Su Mu was astonished to discover a dilapidated building appearing before him
Having spoken, the five corpse puppets that were just devouring flesh and blood suddenly turned their heads, staring at Su Mu with lifeless expressions
One must see the living when alive and the corpse when dead
This talent, "Elysium," allows Su Mu to burn his life force, granting him vitality far beyond that of ordinary individuals
Still in front of oneself
It is fortunate that these ghostly hands can be struck down
The clay sculpture's mouth opened and closed, and a strange sound emerged
A flash of blade light passed by, yet Su Mu neither had nor wielded a knife
Giggling! Giggling!
Who knows, after hearing his words, the clay sculpture suddenly became angry
Moreover, the "Moon" allows Sumu to possess an extremely rich Yin energy
The ominous energy reaches its peak, bringing desolation to all things and allowing phantoms to roam freely
