Death of Gui Xun
The Iron-Winged Eagle, with its talons capable of piercing through metal, swept past Ying Ni.
A vibrant flower of blood bloomed in mid-air!
Ying Ni had large chunks of flesh torn from her waist. This was only because she activated a Vajra Talisman at the last moment; otherwise, she would have been cut in half by the Iron-Winged Eagle's claws.
Ying Ni fell to the ground, glancing unwillingly at Wu Sui in mid-air. At this moment, the two Jade Marrow Fungus had already been taken into Wu Sui's arms.
After a moment's hesitation, Ying Ni turned and left.
She was already injured, had fallen out with Wu Sui, and the Iron-Winged Eagle and the Copper Corpse had surrounded her. Staying any longer would be pointless and could even cost her her life.
Ying Ni chose a direction opposite to Gui Xun's and disappeared into the dense forest.
The Gui Xun collected the vengeful spirit into the Ghost Banner, then turned and fled.
As the fleeing Gui Xun turned back to look at Wu Sui, who was surrounded by the Copper Corpse and the Iron-Winged Eagle, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
Let them fight! Let them fight to the death, until they find that the Jade Marrow Fungus has long since withered and lost its vitality.
Thinking of the victor among the three, and the scene of their furious rage upon discovering that the Jade Marrow Fungus had withered, Gui Xun's resentment at having his prized possession snatched away eased somewhat.
The Gui Xun in its escape suddenly sharpened its eyes, a life-or-death crisis descending upon it.
Before he could react, a cold glint flashed and pierced through his skull from the back of his head.
The Gui Xun lay on the ground with its eyes wide open, its death unresolved.
Song Wen emerged from the woods, a faint smile on his face, as if he were quite pleased with his sneak attack.
Indeed, ambushing from the bushes is the most powerful attack.
Song Wen removed the ghost-raising bag and Storage Bag from Gui Xun's body, inserted one hand into the corpse's chest, and devoured its Essence Blood and soul. Then, a flame lit up, setting the now-mummified corpse of Gui Xun ablaze.
The whole process was smooth and quick, and in just a dozen breaths, the Gui Xun's corpse was reduced to ashes.
Song Wen used his escape technique and turned to leave.
While fleeing, he didn't forget to probe the Gui Xun's Storage Bag with his Divine Sense. Inside, he found a jade box containing three walnut-sized, greenish-yellow spiritual fruits.
It is indeed the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
Song Wen thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
After witnessing Gui Xun's escape techniques, Song Wen guessed that this person's escape skills were extremely fast, and he would definitely rely on his speed advantage to retrieve various spirit medicine.
Just as Song Wen had guessed, the Gui Xun's Storage Bag did indeed contain Heavenly Spirit Fruit, and there were three of them.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
After Wu Sui repelled Ying Ni with a single palm strike and seized the Jade Marrow Fungus, he saw that the Copper Corpse was already less than ten feet away.
A distance of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) is already within the attack range of the Copper Corpse.
Wu Sui could almost feel the terrifyingly strong corpse aura emanating from the Copper Corpse.
At the critical moment, Wu Sui patted the Corpse-Nurturing Bag he had never used before.
A Corpse Puppet, over seven feet tall and Sha Qi, was released.
This was horrifying; it was a corpse Corpse Puppet crafted from the body of Foundation Establishment expert, and very likely the corpse of a Body Refinement cultivator.
Although this corpse Corpse Puppet's aura was only at the Qi Refinement Peak, the astonishing power it displayed was far beyond that of an ordinary Qi Refinement Peak cultivator.
Similar to the Copper Corpse, this is a pseudo-second-tier Corpse Puppet. It has a powerful corpse body, but lacks the corpse aura and Sha Qi of a second-tier zombie.
"Roar!"
As soon as the Corpse Puppet appeared, it opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp, long fangs, and roared to the sky.
"Bang!"
The Corpse Puppet and the Copper Corpse collided.
It sounded like two primordial Demon Beast colliding, producing a dull thud.
The two powerfully built monsters were entangled together and plummeted towards the ground below.
Just as Wu Sui had dealt with the threat of the Copper Corpse, the Iron-Winged Eagle's iron claws arrived.
Wu Sui hurriedly activated the chains, which rattled in the air and quickly coiled into an eggshell shape, enveloping Wu Sui within.
He planned to use his chains to withstand the Iron-Winged Eagle's attack.
Just then, a burly figure suddenly leaped into the air.
It was Qiu Li who arrived.
Her body was surging with Blood Qi, and behind her condensed a phantom of a wild boar ten meters tall. This was a strange phenomenon that appeared after cultivating the Body Refining Cultivation Method to a certain level.
Qiu Li was like a huge, ravenously hungry wild boar descending the mountain to hunt, unstoppable.
Beneath Qiu Li's skin, muscles bulged, and powerful strength gathered in her palms.
He clenched his left fist and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The punch landed squarely on the Iron-Winged Eagle's talons.
A tremendous force erupted between their fists and claws.
Qiu Li was thrown from mid-air by the enormous recoil force.
The flesh on her fingers exploded, and crimson blood splattered everywhere.
The Iron-Winged Eagle was also brought to an abrupt halt by this powerful punch, its swooping motion abruptly stopped. Its iron-like talons trembled slightly, clearly indicating that it had also suffered considerable injury.
Qiu Li's body crashed to the ground, creating a two-meter-wide crater, with dirt flying everywhere.
She acted as if nothing had happened, rolled over and climbed out of the mud puddle, and walked over to Wu Sui, who had just landed, in a few steps.
"Give me one of the Jade Marrow Fungus!"
Qiu Li's eyes were sharp, and she spoke in a way that brooked no argument.
She had just seen it clearly: Wu Sui had put the two Jade Marrow Fungus into his bosom.
For Wu Sui, treasures he had already acquired were not so easily given away, even though he had just promised to split the Jade Marrow Fungus equally.
Wu Sui said, "Junior Sister Qiu, with a formidable enemy at hand, shouldn't we defeat them first before distributing the treasures?"
Qiu Li remained unmoved and sneered, "Don't think I didn't see you attacking Ying Ni just now. I'm not a brainless idiot like Ying Ni who only has breasts."
"Give me a Jade Marrow Fungus now, then I'll hold off the Iron-Winged Eagle, and you deal with the Copper Corpse. If you don't agree..."
Qiu Li's aura grew increasingly powerful, her Blood Qi surging wildly, and the threat she posed was all too obvious.
A barely perceptible glint of killing intent flashed in Wu Sui's eyes, but the situation was pressing, and though unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise.
He has already provoked two powerful enemies, the Copper Corpse and the Iron-Winged Eagle. If he were to face Qiu Li as well, he would have little chance of survival.
"Good!"
After saying this, he took out a Jade Marrow Fungus from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Qiu Li.
However, the next moment, Wu Sui was stunned by the Jade Marrow Fungus in his hand.
What should have been a deep red jade-like Jade Marrow Fungus was now covered with black lines, and these black lines were still spreading. The powerful medicinal properties of the Jade Marrow Fungus had been destroyed by the Yin Qi infused by the Gui Xun, and its medicinal properties had been almost completely lost.
"How so!"
Wu Sui's face turned extremely ugly, filled with disbelief.
He then took out another Jade Marrow Fungus, and it was in the same condition.
Instantly understanding the whole story, Wu Sui's face turned ferocious.
"Gui Xun, I will tear you to pieces!" Wu Sui said through gritted teeth.
The Jade Marrow Fungus, which he had obtained with great difficulty, became useless, which made Wu Sui, who was originally somewhat proud, extremely resentful.
After a brief moment of shock and disappointment, Qiu Li looked at the two Jade Marrow Fungus in Wu Sui's hand, which had lost their medicinal properties, and then turned and left.
