58 The Walking Dead (a four thousand word chapter)
The stone room was extremely dark and filled with the smell of decay. The old man was sitting cross-legged on an ancient futon.
His clothes were all rotten and torn, his body was as thin as a withered bone, his eye sockets were sunken, and his hair was disheveled, but his eyes shone with a light red luster, making him look extremely terrifying.
"Unexpectedly... one was broken open!" The old man slowly said to himself: "Then... I don't know if he can still break through the others..."
At the same time, in another stone corridor under the Wuxie Palace, two people wrapped in pitch-black robes were walking slowly forward. At this moment, they also stopped in unison.
"What's going on? I feel that the power of the undead formation has become smaller!"
"Well, if my guess is correct, one of the formations should have been destroyed!"
"What? Who can destroy this formation? Not even a few old guys at the peak of their transformation stage can do it!"
"I'm also very confused about this. Could it be that 'they' are here?"
"It's impossible. I just checked the barrier not long ago. It's absolutely perfect. It's absolutely impossible for them to set foot here. Don't think that they can compete with us by setting up eight small branches here!"
"Well, you are right, but it is a fact that the formation was destroyed. Don't take it lightly. Since someone destroyed the formation, it means that that person did not follow the route we planned in advance. In this case, we must
Just be more careful!”
"That's right, if 'they' know that there is a secret arranged by us down here, it will be troublesome. If the strong ones among 'them' ignore the safety of life on this continent and take action forcefully, the barrier will not be able to stop it.
!”
"No, we have to move quickly. I don't know how things are going with those stupid demonic monks. If 'that' thing comes out and they haven't finished it, just sacrifice it with them together!"
"Hey, even if it's completed, isn't it okay to offer a blood sacrifice together? It's useless to keep these wastes anyway. It just happens to enhance the power of 'that'!"
"Yeah, yeah, okay, no need to say more, let's go back and guard 'that', otherwise if we really want to be destroyed...even if we have countless lives, it won't be enough!"
As he spoke, the two mysterious men, all in black, quickened their pace, and soon disappeared into this deep corridor.
Outside the Wuxie ruins, a stream of light flew through the air, and it was clear that Supreme Elder Yuqing had arrived.
"Oops, I'm late, that brat has already gone in! Now we're in trouble!" Yu Qing frowned and circled in the air for a few times. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and used her hands to create several tricks.
He blessed his body with Jue, and then he jumped down and rushed down...
Directly below the Wuxie Ruins Hall, Xiao Fan was walking cautiously in a dim corridor.
His eyebrows were furrowed, and his whole body was shrouded in malaria's black energy. From time to time, resentful spirits would suddenly appear and attack crazily.
"It's strange, hasn't the great formation of dead souls been broken? Why is the resentment here still so thick?"
"That can only be explained by the fact that there is not only one great formation of dead souls in the ruins of Wuxie Palace, but the one that was just broken open by the Heart Poison Crystal!"
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Fan was stunned, and then raised the corner of his mouth: "If we can meet other better ones, and then use the Heart Poison Crystal to absorb and separate the power and instill it into us, I don't know how our cultivation will be.
How much it has grown!”
"Well, you'd better not think so well!" He shook his big dark head and said: "I don't know what your current situation is. It seems like a bottomless pit, but there must be a saturation point! However, I can no longer do it.
If you absorb more resentment and turn it into your own strength, you will have to wait at least ten or eight years before all the resentment can be completely resolved and absorbed!"
"And in this situation, once such a terrifying amount of resentment is poured in, I can guarantee that I will be burst! A container has its own limit. Once an object larger than the container's endurance limit is poured into the container, the final
There is only one result, that is, the container is completely destroyed!"
"The same goes for you. If the next wave of power exceeds your endurance limit, your Yuan Dan will probably be unable to contain the huge Yuan Power and collapse. No matter how strong your body is, once the Yuan Dan comes from inside
If it disintegrates and collapses, you will only end up exploding to death!"
Xiao Fan was frightened when he heard this. It seemed that he was really carried away. He didn't even notice this most basic truth. Just as Mal said, if he encounters a large formation of dead souls again and is forcibly injected with power,
, the end is likely to be very tragic.
As the saying goes, you bite off more than you can chew!
For countless thousands of years, among the masters who have reached the top, which one is not meticulous, careful in everything, and has a very meticulous grasp of the scale?
"Ta...ta...ta..."
Suddenly, in the empty and silent corridor, a strange voice sounded.
The sound was like the sound of water drops falling on the ground, and it became increasingly clear.
Huhu...
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the almost closed corridor.
Out of nowhere!
Xiao Fan couldn't help but shudder, and there were faint whimpering sounds, accompanied by the clicking sound.
"I'm not willing to accept it... I'm not willing to accept it..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps.
The footsteps were very weird, as if they were dragging their legs reluctantly and paddling on the ground.
"Be careful, something powerful has come out! This power fluctuation... is definitely a master in the alchemy stage!" Mal reminded.
"Well, there is also a familiar feeling, it can't be..." Xiao Fan seemed to have thought of something, and sweat could not help but flow from his forehead.
Finally, after a few breaths, three figures appeared in Xiao Fan's sight.
The clothes of these three people were torn, their skin was black and bruised, their skin was sunken and cracked in many places, but there was no trace of blood on the wounds!
In the eye sockets of the three people, two disproportionate eyeballs were full of bloodshot eyes, as if they were about to fall out at any time. This kind of image is no longer owned by living people!
"Walking corpse!" Ma took a breath of cold air.
Although these three people were unrecognizable and terrifying, Xiao Fan still recognized them. The robes they wore were the symbol of the elite disciples of the Qingyang Sect. Although the identity jade pendants around their waists were broken into pieces and covered with
There are cracks, but it is not difficult to read the writing on it.
It was Li, Wang, and Zhou who he met not long ago, elite disciples of the Qingyang Sect in the Alchemy stage!
How did they become like this?
Xiao Fan stepped back in shock.
I remember that not long ago, I was chatting with these three people in front of the Qingyang Sect Mountain Gate. However, not long after, they were already separated from each other, and these three people actually turned into this!
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhou... what's wrong with you? What happened?" Xiao Fan couldn't bear to ask.
"Ah... unwilling to give in, flesh and blood... we want flesh and blood! Get your flesh and blood!" The three people's eyes were still dull, and the teeth in their mouths had become as sharp as fangs, and they moved towards Xiao Fan.
"Brothers, I am Xiao Fan!" Xiao Fan was still shouting with all his strength.
"The brain is mine, no one is allowed to steal it from me!" Just as he was saying this, the monk surnamed Wang suddenly rushed forward, with his hands like dry branches, half a foot long nails like blades stretched out between them, and pointed towards
Tian Ling grabbed Xiao Fan hard.
This grab, with lightning speed, stirred up a smelly and dark Yuan Power, turning it into an invisible net, imprisoning Xiao Fan in it.
At this time, Xiao Fan was like a moth landing on a spider web, while the monk surnamed Wang was like a poisonous spider dripping with ###, launching a lightning-like fatal attack towards his prey!
"It's useless, Xiao Fan. They were absorbed into the body by the power of the resentful soul, and their bone marrow and blood were sucked dry. Their souls were contaminated, and they have become walking zombies. They have no consciousness of their own and are completely killing machines!" Mal reminded loudly.
"How could this happen?" Xiao Fan said angrily. Although he couldn't bear it, the monk surnamed Wang who was approaching had no intention of stopping at all, so he could only grit his teeth and slap away with his backhand.
The surrounding Yuanli restrictions were not worth mentioning to him. The moment he raised his arm, Lihuo Dao was driven out, and the flames turned into blades like willow leaves, cutting through the invisible spider web.
The force of the palm was even more devastating, and it hit the monk surnamed Wang hard on the forehead.
"Bang!" The skull was torn apart, and the brain matter burst out. There was no blood at all, just a pool of white stuff splattered everywhere.
"Well... I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in!" The body of the monk surnamed Wang was blasted out like an arrow, knocking a big hole into the wall of the corridor, but it didn't end like that!
With only half of its head left, it still stood up, trembling with its crumbling bones and flesh, and walked towards Xiao Fan again. However, the unwilling roar coming from the depths of its soul seemed even more eerie and terrifying.
"You survived such a heavy attack?" Xiao Fan's expression condensed.
"It's not that they are not dead, they are already dead, but they have no consciousness, so if we don't wipe them out together with their souls, there is no solution at all!" Mal Gao knew.
"But... it's really strange. Although the power of resentful souls is strong, it is not so strong that after they become walking corpses with their bodies, they are completely tied to their souls, so that they can still use their withered bodies to perform their functions.
Show your original strength!"
"You mean...someone did this deliberately?" Xiao Fan asked in shock.
"Well, although I'm not sure, it's very likely! If it's true, it's worth thinking about who turned them into this way, and wouldn't that person himself be affected by the power of the resentful soul?
Is it affected by it?" Mali rubbed his chin with his huge dragon claws.
"If it is really man-made, then I must find that person out. This vicious method of killing my fellow disciples is simply an unforgivable crime!" Xiao Fan clenched his fists angrily, with a fierce light in his eyes.
, staring at the three people rushing towards him.
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhou...I'm sorry, I have to make the three of you lose your souls. You can't even reincarnate. But only in this way can you truly be freed, right?"
After saying this, I saw a wisp of black-red liquid flowing out of the dry eyes of Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Zhou!
Their bodies were shriveled, their blood had been sucked dry, but there was still liquid flowing out. Perhaps...these black and red things were the tears from their souls!
"I, Xiao Fan, hereby promise that if you are really harmed by a gangster, I will definitely kill that gangster and avenge you brothers!" Xiao Fan shouted loudly and rushed towards the three of them, his whole body filled with terror.
The Yuanli boiled like boiling water, evaporating countless mists. Those mists were like living creatures, twisting and entangling the three of them.
I saw streaks of light green light flashing out from the mist. When the mist dissipated, countless green vines appeared out of thin air, completely binding the three people inside. No matter how hard the three people struggled, they broke a vine, and then another
Dozens of them came swarming.
Wan Teng Road!
This is also a Taoist technique that Xiao Fan was able to master just now after his Yuan Li increased dramatically, and he mastered it in conjunction with the mastery of the wood attribute in his body.
This technique atomizes a large amount of energy in the body, and then condenses it into a plant, which can wrap around and attack the enemy. Once this technique is practiced to the extreme, it will be very difficult to deal with it. Only the technique of fire can cause it to be attacked.
Restraint effect!
Countless vines formed a large net, completely wrapping the decaying energy released by the three people. Each branch pierced into the shriveled skin of the three people, draining the remaining nutrients from the corpse bit by bit!
This nutrient also contains the power of their souls!
"Xiao Fan, why don't you use the soul-eating method on them and search their memories to find out who killed them?" Ma asked after pondering for a moment.
"The soul-eating way is too vicious. I will not use it on my fellow disciples. Moreover, since they have been corroded by the power of resentment, their soul memories should also be eroded and become chaotic and incomplete. Even if they are forcibly searched,
Memory may not know the truth!" Xiao Fan bit his lip and sighed.
"Well, that's true, but it's better for you to use less of this Ten Thousand Vine Technique. This Taoist technique will continuously draw out the energy in your body to provide for the growth of these plant vines, which is quite a burden on the body. Although your current
Yuan Li has reached a very outrageous level, but it is not enough to completely control this Taoist technique!"
"The reason why fire-attributed Taoist techniques such as Lihuo Dao and Burning Fire Dao rank at the bottom among the 108 types of Taoist techniques is because they are easy to learn and perform, and the demand for Yuanli and cultivation realms is not too high, but
This is not the case with the Ten Thousand Veng Dao. This Taoist technique is ranked among the top ten. Even monks in the Yuanling Stage do not dare to use it with all their strength. Otherwise, if they are backlashed by the Ten Thousand Veng, they will be reduced to human beings if they are not careful.
