Chapter 10: The Daoist and the Skeleton Demon
The clay sculpture is both astonished and angry, with a hint of fear subtly present.
Exorcising demons and safeguarding the way is precisely the duty of Qingxuzi
In just a few breaths, we arrived at the entrance of the dilapidated temple
The skeleton demon is a type of low-level ghost, generally possessing weak abilities and employing rather simplistic methods
In an instant, a wave of dark energy enveloped Su Mu
Look at your current appearance and the few ghostly entities you have refined; what have they become
After the sorcerer Wuweizi betrayed the Tianyi Sect, he was relentlessly pursued, leaving him with very few cards to play.
Only these five corpses can be put to use
The middle-aged Taoist stared at the clay sculpture and said with a smile that was not quite a smile
Heed the advice of your senior brother: with your current state of cultivation, it would be better to die early and be reborn, starting anew in the next life
Immediately afterwards, all the bones in his body were seen to be completely dislocated
Since we are all destined to die, let us fight to the death!
Both Wuweizi and Qingxuzi exclaimed in surprise
As soon as he finished speaking, Sumu, who had transformed into a skeletal demon, suddenly sprang up and charged towards the clay-like figure of Wuweizi
After this strike, Su Mu's body fell apart, and his breath extinguished
Little skeleton demon, do you still dare to be impudent with me
Under the attack of the wooden figure, the clay sculpture shattered, and a hunchbacked, twisted silhouette flew out from within
Otherwise, how could one fail to notice even this small detail
Kaka!
The indignant Wuweizi could no longer pay attention to the smiling Qingxuzi standing outside the temple
Only when the five-element corpse puppet has devoured the flesh and blood of Su Mu and entered the refining stage, will it appear at a measured pace.
Sumu was filled with anger and astonishment, his mind racing as he rapidly analyzed the current situation
At this moment, I do not intend to take action, but rather to utilize the resources of the Su Mu as much as possible to exhaust the energy of Wu Weizi
There is a deep-seated enmity between Sumu and him, leaving only the possibility of fighting to the death.
In this desolate environment, it appears quite terrifying
Moreover, it chose to play dead, lurking right under his nose
In the dim and lifeless night, a dilapidated small temple emitted bursts of eerie laughter
Immediately afterward, a middle-aged Taoist priest of average build and appearance approached
To be willing to sacrifice oneself, daring enough to pull the emperor down from his horse
However, Sumu still lacked the confidence to defeat the strange clay sculpture in this dilapidated temple
However, they did not anticipate that this newly born skeleton demon would actually choose to disintegrate in order to unleash a powerful strike
Compared to the little skeleton from the previous life, it is unknown how many times more powerful it has become
You are now neither human nor ghost, neither yin nor yang
In this life, he not only stands eight feet tall with strong bones and muscles, but also, under the influence of the talent known as "Taiyin," has absorbed ample amounts of yin energy
He decided to exert all his strength to eliminate this skeleton demon first
It is evident that one is already furious
The Taoist of Non-Action, Wuweizi, needs no further elaboration
Therefore, Sumu chose to lie still on the ground, waiting for the right moment to take action
As a martial artist, Su Mu's bones are inherently robust and strong
Hiss! ! !
However, being pursued and attacked by such lowly spirits made him feel quite embarrassed and angry
Upon hearing these words, Su Mu felt a tremendous shock in his heart
... ...
His arrival brought the eerie laughter in the temple to an abrupt halt
This is clearly impossible
At this moment, it is indeed the time when he is at his weakest
After all, he is now a demon.
The Qingxuzi outside the temple is evidently a serious Taoist priest
Wuwei Zi noticed that this skeleton demon was significantly more powerful than usual
Roar
Yet he did not take direct action, as if he were forcibly suppressing his anger
However, this rotting ghost head does not know its origins, yet it forcibly bit through the bones of the sandalwood!
He did not expect that the strange warrior from earlier would actually transform into a skeletal demon after being completely devoured of all flesh and blood
After all, he does not even know the details of the other party
Don't even mention flesh and blood; not even bones are left. Yet, I still don't believe that we can't gnaw a piece of meat from this demon's body!
In the previous life, Su Mu died as merely a weak child, and moreover, he lacked sufficient yin energy
Dismantling
It is evident that Qing Xuzi had long since locked onto this demon path disciple, who had transformed into a clay statue.
This is his anger
The solitary skull of the Su Mu let out an angry ghostly howl
On the other side, the heart of the sorcerer Wuweizi was also greatly shocked
Bones of all sizes float in the air, pointing directly at the Wuwei Zi
Kaka!
Disciple, have you not yet come to terms with reality
The skeleton of the tree grew many menacing bone spurs, making it appear quite fearsome
His bony fingers flicked, and a rotting human head, exuding a black mist, flew out from his large sleeve, heading straight for Su Mu
Go
This eerie black mist coiled around Su Mu's bones like a maggot, ensnaring him as if he were trapped in a quagmire, significantly diminishing his strength
A significantly weakened Wuwei Zi can easily injure him
A strange sound emanated from Sumu.
... ...
The rotting ghost's head bit down on his leg bone
Immediately, leading all the bones of his body, he flew towards Wuweizi!
He walked slowly, and with each step he took, his figure would appear several meters away.
After a quick analysis of the situation, Sumu realized that in order to survive, he had to continuously eliminate Wuweizi and Qingxuzi
After Qing Xuzi's arrival, Su Mu was able to gather a great deal of information from the conversation between the two.
Boom
Saying this, the middle-aged Taoist shook his head repeatedly, displaying an expression of disappointment as if he were lamenting the failure of iron to become steel
Even if Sumu kills Wuweizi, Qingxuzi will not let him off
Especially in front of that contemptuous senior brother
But before that, he must make the sorcerer Wuweizi pay the price
Pale and menacing bone spurs shot out from the body of the Su Mu, aiming towards the clay sculpture
However, he continued to lurk in the shadows, and a single remark from Qing Xuzi exposed him.
... ...
... ...
His senior brother is known by the Daoist name Qingxu Zi
At this moment, there is a demon priest inside the temple and a Taoist priest outside the temple
Seeing his junior brother in this state, Qing Xuzi chuckled and said
It is the essence of the Dao of non-action
Non-action, non-action... The master has indeed given you a title, there is no mistake!
Upon hearing this, the eerie clay sculpture's face twisted and contorted in a grotesque manner
Not only is the talent for cultivation exceptionally strong, but one is also remarkably astute
Disciple, if you continue to bring such calamity upon the world, where shall we place the reputation of the Tianyi Sect
The strength of Sumu is still insufficient in the presence of these two seasoned experts.
A single sentence from Qing Xuzi shattered the tranquility of the dilapidated temple
A skeleton demon was born right under your nose, and you were completely unaware of it
Like a white storm of rain
However, we are currently in a period of advancement, and it will take some time to achieve successful progression
There was still a hint of disdain in the gaze.
What troubled Wuwei Zi the most was the thought that he had truly become a useless person, just as Qingxu Zi had said
... ...
But he has been waiting all along
Moreover, the malevolent energy is entwined, and ordinary beings will fall gravely ill merely by approaching it
Transformed into the Skeleton Demon Queen, she is more than ten times as powerful.
After this death, Su Mu felt a dense aura of yin energy gathering around him, once again transforming him into a certain kind of demon.
Is that you? Why are you all like a sticky plaster, constantly clinging to me
A surge of madness rose from the depths of Sumu's heart
The true end is approaching
Not to mention the strength, even the mind is becoming less effective
But suddenly, a foot stepped in
