He had seen all sorts of corpses during the investigation, including those that were highly decomposed, but none of them looked any uglier than this man in black.
""He deserves to be killed.""
The place that should have been his mouth wiggled a few times, and he could vaguely see the opening of the crack.
When the lips that were stuck together opened up, the strips of flesh that looked like strips of meat were pulled straight out. It was especially terrifying.
With a ""deserved to die"" sound, he suddenly stretched his hands forward.
The iron rod on both of his hands swiftly pierced towards An Zeng"s throat, while the dark sword in An Zeng"s hands swung out, and the bright sword qi cut the iron rod in half.
However, the part that fell to the ground actually became as soft as a bug and quickly crawled back up, before burrowing into the black robe.
""What method did Zhuge Liuyun use to create this monster?""
An Xuan slashed with his sword and cut off another iron rod.
""If the army hidden in the brocade palace were all monsters like this, then not only would the Yan Country be in danger, the entire world would be in danger.""
An Xuan said, ""Pure Yang Qi can be destroyed!""
A blazing white light appeared on the sword, and purple light circulated within the white light.
The one-meter-long sword qi suddenly increased in size, turning into a four-meter-long tail of flames.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The sword qi continued to cut at Earthbound Three"s body, breaking it into pieces.
The large black robe was cut open, leaving behind pieces of trash like a b.u.t.terfly.
""Release him!""
Behind him, the Ground One suddenly let out a loud shout and charged forward.
He had not moved during the previous exchange, and now he could clearly feel the strength of An Zaiyue.
As he sprinted forward, the black robe on his body instantly exploded.
Following the explosion, the white bandage wrapped itself around his body.
Bang!
A burst of air appeared outside the first body, and after removing the bandage, the Earth — seemed to have instantly increased its cultivation level.
Fast!
Unparalleled speed!
With An Zhe"s eyesight and reaction, he was actually unable to keep up with his speed.
With a loud thud, the scales of the holy fish outside An Zeng"s body were struck with a heavy blow.
This punch was so powerful that it directly sent An Zhan flying backwards.
An Zeng"s body rotated in the air before heavily crashing into a big tree by the roadside, breaking that hundred-year-old tree in half.
The huge crown of the tree fell down with a creak, rolling up the dust on the ground.
Just as he was about to stand up, the second blow came.
He simply couldn"t see the figure of the first person. He only felt an enormous force attacking him.
An Zeng"s body flew out once again, directly creating a big hole in a nearby house.
With a "pu pu" sound, the rest of the men in black all shattered the black robes, and the bandages on their bodies shattered bit by bit.
Their bodies swelled up like dried sponges filled with water, at least one circle larger than before.
The first one launched an attack towards An Zeng, and the remaining few people began to charge towards Qu Liuxi and the others.
Gu Qian Ye pulled Qu Liuxi behind him, and pulled the finger bone hanging from her neck.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA!
A finger bone that was like a giant tree carrying the sky descended from the sky, directly smashing down the incoming Earth Five.
As the phalanx rose up, the ground below was shattered into a puddle.
However, the black silk quickly moved and gathered together like a swarm of insects.
After a short moment, he reconstructed a human form and stood up shakily.
""What monster is this!""
Gu Qianye didn"t believe him. He gripped his finger with one hand, and the bone transformed into a huge stick.
She spun in a half circle and swung the club across Five"s body.
LV 5"s body flew out like a cannonball after being hit. After landing on the ground, he rolled for over ten meters and plowed a ditch on the ground like a plow.
Even so, he still stood up shakily.
On the other side, with the protection of the Sovereign of the Seas" trident and the stone essence armor, Du was barely able to persevere.
However, he was completely unable to catch his opponent"s shadow. The speed of those monsters was ridiculously fast.
Moreover, after opening the bandages on their bodies, it was as if they had opened up a new realm, and their strength had also increased exponentially.
An Xuan left behind two scales of the holy fish, and the remaining six were divided up to protect the front and back of the other three.
There were only eight scales on the Saint Fish, so he couldn"t protect it completely. He could only protect it from beginning to end.
The first place expert was clearly the strongest of the five monsters, and his speed was even faster.
As soon as the fight broke out and the scales of the Sacred Fish were separated, the first fist arrived.
Fortunately, their movements were fast but not nimble. If this punch landed on the side, An Zhe might not be able to defend against it.
His fist landed on the scales of the Sacred Fish. Although the scales had eliminated a portion of its power, it still sent An Zhe flying once again.
An Zhan pressed his hands on the ground, forcefully creating two trenches on the ground before he stopped.
""So strong!""
He cursed once, then abruptly turned around and threw a punch.
Actually, this punch didn"t see first place at all, but made a judgment.
An Zhe"s punch was filled with pure Yang energy, bringing with it blazing light and heat, and collided with the fist of the first rank.
The two fists did not collide, but the two auras did.
A huge ma.s.s of air exploded, sending the two of them flying backward at the same time.
A little farther away, Qu Liuxi summoned the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace.
A purple light enveloped her entire body. Under the protection of such a medium-grade Purple grade divine tool, the hand that attacked her was temporarily useless.
""Plants?""
Beast?
How did the "immortal" trait come about?
""Why do they reunite even if they break?""
Qu Liuxi"s mind spun rapidly as she flipped through the medical books and pharmacopoeia page by page.
What has this quality?
The ancients had the art of tempering the dead, turning them into invulnerable soldiers.
But the soldiers were too rigid, and not without weaknesses.
The monsters created by Zhuge Liuyun were obviously not ordinary zombies.
If a special attribute was added to the plant, as long as one could find what that attribute was, they would be able to find a flaw in it.
In this situation, Qu Liuxi actually closed her eyes.
The same medicinal plants were rapidly flashing through her mind, their medicinal properties being negated by her.
The purple light of the Phoenix Struggle Pill Furnace enveloped her, and no matter how much she tried, she was unable to break through.
""I"m too old!""
Qu Liuxi suddenly thought of something, ""I think I guessed that one of the parts formed by these monsters was probably too old to be cut to death.""
With a wave of her hand, the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace rapidly grew in size and floated to the side of her body.
She opened her other hand, and a spatial magic item that An Zhe gave her appeared.
From the spatial magic item, the same kind of medicinal herb appeared in a flash and flew into the Phoenix Bucket Pill Furnace. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….
Very quickly, a strange fragrance wafted out from the Phoenix Snare Pill Cauldron.
The monsters that were attacking him suddenly slowed down after smelling the strange scent.
""Their power comes from demon beasts, and their bodies are blended with the Undying Vine and the Emperor.
The Undead Vine thrives by stealing the nutrients from other plants. After the parasitic plant dies, it will change to another plant to continue its parasitic life.
The body could be squeezed at any time. Even if it was cut, it would not die. As long as there was a small piece left, it would grow back.
""Zhuge Liuyun added some poisons into these things, but I can"t distinguish them. However, as long as we extract the Undying Vine and the ability of being too old, they won"t have anything to be afraid of.""
As the sound of her voice faded, a bright golden pill flew out from within the Phoenix"s Crooked pill furnace.
As she spoke, she began to refine pills. Her movements were fluid and smooth, carrying with them a unique sense of beauty.
The most shocking thing was that he only used such a short amount of time to concoct a metal pill that was so close to the city.
The gold rank pill seemed to have a mind of its own as it floated in mid-air.
When the five monsters sensed the pill, they began to feel fear.
They began to gather together and then slowly retreated, as if they were afraid of alerting the golden elixir.
""I"ll give you a name, it"s called the Destruction Magic Pill.""
Qu Liuxi pointed forward with one hand, ""Go!""
The Demon Breaking Pill then shot out at an even faster speed.
The five monsters turned around and ran, not even daring to turn their heads when they met their natural nemesis.
After they removed the bandages, their speed and strength increased to the maximum, but no matter how much they looked at it, the Demon Breakthrough Pill was attracted by them, so it was faster than them.
The golden pill turned into a golden silkworm in the air and landed on the back of fifth brother"s neck with a ""pa"" sound.
The golden silkworm opened its mouth and bit into the back of his neck, and then his body began to deflate at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon that had been deflated.
The golden silkworm absorbed all the power of the Undying Vine and the power of the Emperor. With a flash of golden light, it quickly chased after the next monster.
Those monsters were scared as they scurried around. However, the golden silkworm did not put them in its eyes at all and sucked them in one after another.
Regardless of whether it was just a minute or two, the golden silkworm caught up to the most powerful force after running nearly a kilometer away. After biting the back of his neck, it sucked up all of the Undying Vine and the power of the tai-year old.
The five monsters were now lying on the ground, wiggling like powerless rubber b.a.l.l.s. There was no trace of the arrogance they had just shown.
The rest of the items were poisonous, so An Zhe didn"t dare to slight them.
With the power of the Righteous Way of Pure Yang, he burned all of the poison.
Poison was always afraid of fire. If it wasn"t for the power of the Taisui and the Undying Vine supporting it, just the poison itself would have been their nemesis.
""If we didn"t have the genius Xiao Li"er, we would be in big trouble this time.""
Gu Qianye ran over and hugged Qu Liuxi"s arm, shaking it, ""Little Liu-Er, how can you be so amazing? If I were a man, I would marry you as my wife!""
Qu Liuxi"s face reddened. ""What"s so impressive about that? It"s just that I"ve read too many medical books and pharmacies.""
""This thing is very difficult to break through with just pure cultivation. In terms of medicine, it"s better to just rely on medicine to solve the problem directly.""
The golden silkworm the size of a finger flew back, and like it was taking credit for flying around Qu Liuxi. It even let out a screeching sound, appearing extremely pleased with itself.
Qu Liuxi stretched out her hand, and the golden silkworm landed in her palm.
""Alright, alright. I know you"re amazing. I"ll add some more herbs for you later to make your spirit more clear. You might even be able to evolve.""
Qu Liuxi wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead. ""It was too hasty. I could have made you more mature and perfect.""
You have just absorbed the Undying Vine and the power of the age, you should return to the pill furnace to rest.
""If there really are a lot of these monsters, then you must be tired.""
The golden silkworm circled Qu Liuxi"s palm once before flying back to the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace.
An Zaiyue walked over slowly, ""If Zhuge Liuyun really built such an army, we really can"t stop it.""
""Even now, Empress Dowager Su still hasn"t brought out her strength. Perhaps it"s because of these freaks … these things keep the mind and spirit of a human, but they have an almost immortal body. They"re too terrifying.""
Qu Liuxi said, ""Since I have found a way, it isn"t too difficult to restrain them.""
""However, I want to go to the Embroidery Palace even more. I want to see what exactly is in there so that I can think of a way to deal with them.""
An Zhan took a deep breath and said, ""Then let"s go and see what those perverts are up to."""
