Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 224 - 162: Songdu Su Family of the White Fox Fairy, Human Corpse Ghost!
In their hands, they still grasped rusted and deformed standard weapons, or their arms had simply mutated into bone blades, bone hammers!
This is the consequence of being bitten or scratched by a Corpse Seed Life Ghost.
If one doesn’t die, there’s a chance of transforming into a Corpse Ghost.
Once dead...
The chance of transformation is one hundred percent.
There were four Corpse Ghosts below.
One was particularly burly, with muscles knotted like rocks, and the tattered uniform barely showed the markings of a captain, emitting an aura that had astonishingly reached the Profound Tier!
The other three had slightly weaker auras, but were also in the Micro Realm.
Same kin slaughtering each other!
The cruelest scene was playing out in the depths of this hell!
"Roar——!"
The Profound Tier Corpse Ghost seemed to sense the breath of living humans, letting out a roar mixed with a beast’s howl and a human’s pained groan, its clouded eyes locked dead on the leader, Fang Qingyu!
It suddenly kicked the ground, and the bone powder beneath exploded, the massive body engulfed in a rancid wind, like a runaway siege hammer, swinging a mutated enormous bone hammer arm, crashing down!
The speed was not slow at all!
"I’ll take care of the Profound one!"
Fang Qingyu’s eyes were as cold as iron, without a trace of hesitation.
The Red Bright Tribulation Fire erupted in his body, dark red lava patterns instantly illuminated his skin!
The Nine Heavens Primordial Visualization Method was pushed to the extreme!
Brilliant Starlight Power surged into the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash!
"Buzz——!"
The Celestial Stars Field was fully activated! The rampant charge of that Profound Corpse Ghost collided as if into an invisible mercury swamp, suddenly stalled!
"Tribulation Ashes!"
Fang Qingyu stepped out, leaving a scorching afterimage in place!
The Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash transformed into a dark gold thunder tearing through gray mist!
On the blade, Starlight and Tribulation Fire intertwined and coiled, carrying the destructive True Intent of Limit Breaking Perfection, directly meeting the descending gigantic bone hammer!
Clang——
Boom!!!
An ear-splitting explosion burst out! The violent shockwave lifted the bone powder on the ground several meters high!
The Profound Corpse Ghost’s bone hammer, capable of collapsing mountain rocks, was instantly sliced like rotten wood before the Thunder Strike Blade of Limit Breaking Perfection!
The blade’s momentum did not diminish, fiercely cleaving into its rock-like chest!
Sizzle!
The incredibly tough Corpse Ghost body was cleaved open with a deep charred wound, revealing bones, the edges flickering with Starlight Arc!
Foul viscous black blood sprayed wildly!
"Roar!" The Corpse Ghost roared in agony, its other arm mutated into a claw, crazily grabbing at Fang Qingyu’s head! The speed was extremely fast, bringing a sharp sound slicing through the air!
Fang Qingyu’s figure flickered like a ghost, his Thunder Instant Cloud Trace at astonishing speed under the Starlight Force Field, easily dodging the claw.
The blade’s light rose again!
"Extermination!"
The swift and electric blade light precisely stabbed at the joints and vital points around the Corpse Ghost!
Each stab was accompanied by the explosive crack of bones and the sizzling sound of Tribulation Fire scorching!
The Limit Breaking Perfection of the Saber Technique pushed power, speed, and precision to the extreme, completely overpowering this profoundly powerful but clumsy Profound Corpse Ghost!
Meanwhile, Wei Banmeng’s figure had turned into a silent purple shadow, pouncing towards the two Micro Realm Corpse Ghosts on the right.
The dual blades were like the fangs of a poisonous snake, each flicker precisely cutting into joint gaps, severing tendons, moving swiftly, accurately, brutally with cold efficiency.
The two Corpse Ghosts had only Micro Realm strength.
In the face of Wei Banmeng’s ghostly speed and exquisite assassination techniques, they were like clumsy targets, quickly dismembered and fell to the ground.
"Xiaojiang!" Fang Qingyu called out lowly in the fierce battle.
"Understood!"
Jiang Weiqing crisply responded, raising her small hand, and a line of orange-red fire shot precisely at the last Micro Realm Corpse Ghost lunging towards Qin Hui and Qi Hao on the left! The Corpse Ghost’s movement was stalled by the fire.
"Get it!"
Qin Hui roared, his heavy shield slammed like a mountain, staggering it backwards.
Qi Hao seized the chance, Qi Blood surging, his fists bringing a piercing wind, violently pounding on the Corpse Ghost’s chest, abdomen, and head like a pile driver!
Their cooperation with the fire, although not as overwhelming as Fang Qingyu and Wei Banmeng, was also solid and steady.
Under the disruption of Jiang Wei’s flames, the Micro Realm Corpse Ghost’s head was quickly smashed by Qin Hui’s heavy shield, blood splattering everywhere.
This counts as the first time surpassing a level to kill!
It took no more than a minute in total.
All four powerful Corpse Ghosts, transformed from human Martial Artists, were completely exterminated!
The chamber was left with only the dull sound of the pulsating meat pillar, and the pervasive scent of blood and scorch.
Fang Qingyu sheathed his saber, the tip of the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash dripping with sticky black blood. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
He glanced at the tattered uniform fragments of the Profound Corpse Ghost on the ground, his gaze remained cold, but deep within flashed an indescribable heaviness.
"Record: Mist Corridor, encountered 1 Profound Tier Corpse Ghost, 3 Micro Realm Corpse Ghosts, all transformed from human Martial Artists. Cleared."
Fang Qingyu’s voice echoed within the silent chamber, breaking the oppressive deathly stillness.
Task complete.
"Withdraw!"
Fang Qingyu decisively commanded.
The time for the Poisonous Miasma Pill was running out; it was not wise to linger here.
The group rapidly moved through the eerie grayish-white fog, following marked trails from before.
The bone powder beneath their feet crunched with a "shh-shh" sound, and the glow of phosphorescent moss in the dense miasma resembled ghost fire, casting ghostly shadows in the twisted tunnels, adding to the sinister atmosphere.
The previously cleared passage seemed relatively calm.
Only the constant dragging and faint howling from deep within the tunnels served as background noise, reminding them of their grim surroundings.
As they were about to pass through a relatively narrow tunnel connecting to the middle layer...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Without any warning, a much more violent tremor than the one felt in Qingjian City yesterday erupted, like the furious roar of a sleeping ancient beast awakening deep within the Earth’s core!
"Ugh!"
Qin Hui staggered, his heavy shield slamming against the pit wall to barely stabilize himself.
"Careful!" Qi Hao growled, catching Old Qiao, who almost fell.
Lv Chen’s tactical tablet flew from his hands, crashing onto the sticky ground.
Wei Banmeng moved like a wisp in the wind, gracefully dissipating force, her twin blades unsheathing instantly, stabbing into the wall to steady herself. Her cold eyes turned sharp as blades, scanning the surroundings.
Jiang Wei’s small body was tightly protected by Fang Qingyu.
The membrane-covered ground beneath their feet surged violently like a massive wave, cracking open!
Thick dark-purple liquid gushed forth from the fractures like blood from a wound, mixed with the stench of miasma!
The dense purple-black miasma, stirred by the violent tremor, boiled like ink.
Vision blurred to the extreme!
"Another earthquake?!"
Old Qiao’s voice carried an uncontrollable tremor; he desperately tried to retrieve the tablet from the ground, but the ground undulated like a raging sea.
"Hold steady! Find cover! Avoid falling rocks!"
Fang Qingyu’s voice cut through the roar, protecting Jiang Wei with one arm and holding his saber with the other, the Starlight Force Field fully deployed.
He forcibly stabilized space within a twenty-meter radius, slowing the falling rocks slightly, granting his teammates a moment to react.
This was definitely not a normal tectonic activity!
Fang Qingyu’s expression was uncertain.
Could it be... the "Molting Level" Life Ghost suppressed by four top entities is undergoing some unforeseen transformation?!
The tremor lasted a good ten seconds, each second stretching out like a century.
When the earth-shattering tremor finally subsided, the entire D-7 tunnel leading to the deeper regions was in ruins.
The fleshy walls torn apart, meat chunks and rubble strewn everywhere, mucus flowing freely, and gushing dark-purple liquid seeped from the cracks.
The once blurry tunnel became even more shattered, with some parts completely blocked by fallen boulders and tumors.
The air reeked with a sickly sweet, putrid stench, more intense than before, mixed with the strong earthy and stone powder smell.
"Cough... cough..." Qin Hui emerged from beneath the shield, dust-covered, spitting out stone powder from his mouth.
"Is everyone alright?!" Qi Hao helped Old Qiao up, asking urgently.
"I’m fine!" Old Qiao replied, still shaken, his hands trembling slightly.
"No harm." Wei Banmeng pulled out the short blades embedded in the wall, her voice remaining cold.
Jiang Wei lifted her head from Fang Qingyu’s embrace, her small face slightly pale.
Yet her eyes shone brightly with vigilance, her small hand clutched Fang Qingyu’s sleeve tightly, whispering:
"I know what’s below..."
