Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 76 - 70: Blood Transformation Body Fourth Layer, The Battle Begins
At this moment, Wen Jiu was still using Magic Power Flick, observing the distant dense forest through the senses of the Three Evil Corpses.
Not many people were in their direction, only twenty or thirty at most, and the enemies on the mountain path were the same.
But combined, there were nearly a hundred Gu Masters.
This made Wen Jiu have a thought, wondering if the Gu Daoist might have come. If he could secretly kill him and obtain the method to cultivate the Law-Devouring Yin Insect, his own Yin Insect might become even stronger.
After all, that’s how the Black Corpse transformed into the Three Evil Corpses.
Great.
One more target.
However, when Wen Jiu used the Three Evil Corpses’ senses to scan outside, he did not find any Gu Masters at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.
Outside Feixian Peak were all those at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.
However, just as Wen Jiu continued searching, he suddenly noticed that the Gu Insects burned by the Flame Technique emitted a wisp of black smoke. At first glance, it didn’t seem conspicuous, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen gathering in the darkness overhead.
Thus, Wen Jiu attempted to shoot a Yin Technique towards the gathering place of the black smoke.
As expected.
The Yin Technique did not penetrate it directly but instead integrated into it, wrapped by strands of black smoke. Although the Yin Technique did not contain Soul-Devouring Yin Insects, it still possessed corrosive effects.
This corrosion immediately made Wen Jiu sense something different about the black smoke.
It’s poison!
Wen Jiu’s expression grew tense.
"Brother Mu, it’s poison!"
Wen Jiu used Divine Sense Communication to inform Mu Canglong, while simultaneously shooting several Yin Techniques into the smoke, not for any other reason than to let Mu Canglong see.
Mu Canglong hurriedly looked up and scanned with his Divine Sense, his expression also changing, and then more and more Gu Insects rushed into the flames, seemingly on purpose, causing the black smoke above to grow larger.
"Collect!"
"It’s the Wushan Poison Gu Technique!"
Mu Canglong recognized it instantly.
The origin of the Wushan Poison Gu Technique was unknown, but he knew there was a group of Loose Cultivator Gu Masters practicing this technique.
Many loose cultivators and clan cultivators had fallen at their hands, but they had never directly confronted the Deadman Peak disciples before; it was unexpected that they turned out to be the ones known as the Celestial Left Alliance by the Inspection Hall.
Upon hearing this, Si Kongbai’s expression changed, and he immediately communicated with the nearby Demon-slaying Department Steward.
However.
From the forest came a wicked, eerie laugh.
"Enjoy burning?"
Then the laughter grew louder.
In the darkness, it was akin to ghostly apparitions.
Boom——
In the next moment.
The black smoke exploded, quickly spreading around, instantaneously enveloping Wen Jiu and the others.
Mu Canglong’s face grew tense, immediately using a Protective Talisman, only to realize the black poisonous smoke penetrated the talisman.
"This is bad!"
Mu Canglong’s expression changed.
He could only order everyone to hold their breath and retreat.
However.
The black poisonous smoke seemed to recognize individuals, relentlessly following them.
Wen Jiu didn’t care because he had already sensed with the Yin Technique that this poisonous smoke was not even half as poisonous as his Yin Techniques. Even if inhaled, it would be devoured by the Yin Technique, turning into nourishment.
But other Night Patrol Department disciples were not as fortunate; even though they had held their breath, the black smoke still corroded their skin and eyes.
Though not immediately lethal, it caused chaos among them, with the most alarming realization being that the Protective Talisman was ineffective.
Even Mu Canglong and Si Kongbai were helpless.
This scene made Wen Jiu fully realize the power of the Left-Handed Arts; weren’t they more formidable than Qi Cultivation Techniques?
Unfortunately.
But those Gu Masters seemed like they were on the verge of death, with weak vitality, their bodies completely eroded by Gu Techniques, unable to find a single intact place, making Wen Jiu lose any interest in practicing their methods.
Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu retreated behind everyone, contemplating whether to assist when he suddenly realized a problem.
This might just be a probe.
A probe on the people atop Feixian Peak.
Perhaps this was an opportunity to demonstrate not too much but significant enough for the people on Feixian Peak to notice.
As long as he didn’t kill anyone, it shouldn’t matter.
But he had to disguise himself so acquaintances knew who he was while outsiders couldn’t see his face.
In this way.
He could display a skill to those atop Feixian Peak.
Without being targeted by those Gu Masters.
"You continue to retreat." Wen Jiu immediately covered his face with black cloth and used his own voice to shout softly.
Mu Canglong looked over immediately, about to warn Wen Jiu not to be reckless, when he saw Wen Jiu begin to deeply inhale the black poisonous smoke mouthful by mouthful. The disciples, seeing this, were overjoyed and gathered towards Wen Jiu.
While inhaling, Wen Jiu whispered, "Prepare some Spirit Stones for me, I need them to replenish magical power and refine this poisonous smoke... If the magical power is insufficient, it will accumulate in my body."
However, to avoid excessively showcasing himself, Wen Jiu pretended a bit, earning some Spirit Stones in exchange for Talisman Paper.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Everyone hastily take out Spirit Stones!"
Seeing more and more black smoke being inhaled by Wen Jiu, the Night Patrol Department disciples hurriedly took out Spirit Stones from their storage bags.
Mu Canglong also took out some Spirit Stones, and then glanced at the displeased-looking Si Kongbai.
"I am not ungrateful!" Si Kongbai scoffed and immediately took out ten pieces of Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Mu Canglong immediately grabbed them, came to Wen Jiu’s side, and Wen Jiu took them and put them in his arms.
"Just keep them in my arms, I will slowly refine them!" Wen Jiu said, continuing to inhale the black poisonous smoke.
Seeing the smoke diminishing, the Night Patrol Department disciples’ panicked expressions gradually faded, replaced by a sense of joy. Looking at Wen Jiu, their gaze became significantly different from before.
