Killing Intent Like an ocean, in an instant, my eyes were stained with blood.
Kill!!
A wild roar filled with beastly ferocity exploded in my chest, igniting the blood within me that had yet to cool!
There was no need for more words; the Azure Dark Sword was drawn in an instant, a pale chill emanating from the blade. I struck again at the Black Bone Corpse Demon, the sword wind fierce...
The Black Bone Corpse Demon was rendered immobile by its own legs!
With a mighty shout to bolster my courage, I leaped and swung my sword directly at its head. The Azure Dark Sword was incredibly sharp, effortlessly slicing through flesh and bone. Wrapped in Killing Intent, my strike cleanly severed the head of the Black Fiend Bones. In that moment, it let out a "poof" and transformed into black smoke, which flew like a Bat out of the cave, completely Soul Shattering!
Just like that, it disappeared?
This creature seemed to be all bark and no bite!
I thought it was ferocious beyond measure; turns out it was just trash! No wonder it had to wear human skin to deceive me!
"Brother! This Blood Coffin is actually a Borrowing Corpse to Return Soul Scheme!" Furball spoke up unexpectedly.
Borrowing Corpse to Return Soul Scheme?
I furrowed my brow slightly; I had only heard of such things before. It was essentially a method of resurrection for the deceased, where a spirit would inhabit a fresh corpse that closely resembled its own body from life. The spirit would merge with this new body, forming a creature that walked between the realms of life and death. Because this creature fused so well with the fresh corpse, its physical characteristics were almost indistinguishable from those of a living person. Like an accomplished Spirit Ghost, it could walk in sunlight without fear but was filled with Eerie Energy, possessing the abilities of a spirit. In short, it was a monster!
However, I didn’t know the specifics of how this operation worked.
"Time is short; we should hurry and check the situation!"
At that moment, we passed by an entrance to a tomb chamber and saw on the ground a crumpled and tattered piece of human skin, resembling a deflated balloon. The skin was pale and covered in countless bloodied gashes like centipedes, a sight too horrific to bear!
That skin had been used by the Black Bone Corpse Demon for quite some time. The Eerie Energy and ominous aura surrounding it were heavy; it was already something dead. Touching it with flesh and blood would likely be disastrous!
Is this really the body of Xiao Xiao? It seems impossible. I would rather doubt my Daoist Practice than accept this fact. And that Blood Coffin hasn't been opened yet; only when it opens can my doubts be completely dispelled. I pray that Xiao Xiao is within the Blood Coffin.
I still felt a twinge of worry for him. My heart was bleeding with anger, wanting to cry out loud, but I couldn't show it at all. Meanwhile, Wan's eyes were filled with anticipation and fear. I strode toward the Blood Coffin in the center.
My anger hadn't subsided as I approached the Blood Coffin. With a swift kick, I knocked the lid off, and immediately, a strong stench wafted out from inside. A strange cold wind blew from the dark coffin, which was only about six square meters in size—much smaller compared to other coffins outside. I lit a torch and shone it inside, illuminating the coffin completely. But when I saw what was inside, I turned around and vomited violently, quickly covering Wan's eyes to prevent her from looking inside.
The horrific scene inside the coffin was unbearable. Even after witnessing many hellish sights in this line of work, I found it hard to cope with what lay in this tomb.
Inside the coffin was a pool of blood, flowing like a river—truly a world of black blood. The crimson liquid, judging by its color and viscosity, seemed to be… blood! Even more bizarrely, it appeared that a person was submerged within that blood. When illuminated by the torchlight, it seemed as if there was a long crystal wall separating me from that person, who appeared to still be breathing—clearly alive!
But that wasn't even the most shocking part. Surrounding the coffin were scattered remnants of human limbs and bodies, discarded skins soaking in the blood. Piles of internal organs floated in and out of sight, darkened and tinged with green. Most horrifying of all, in one corner of the coffin lay a neat row of severed heads—about seven or eight in total—all young girls!
These heads looked fresh; they hadn't been dead for long!
This scene… was simply unbearable!
"What kind of arrangement is this?"
I forced myself to suppress my nausea; it was clear that all this was the work of the Black Bone Corpse Demon. The victims must have been girls abducted from this coastal area. After observing for a while without understanding the intricacies involved, I muttered to myself, "The girls inside the coffin are clearly still alive; is there any hope for them?"
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Furball surprisingly took on an air of maturity and stood on its hind legs as it spoke slowly: "There are countless methods for borrowing corpses to return souls. I never expected that the Black Bone Corpse Demon would be so ambitious as to set up a Black Corpse Trap. Fortunately, we discovered it in time; otherwise, if he had succeeded and hidden away for another thousand or eight hundred years, perhaps the Yin-Yang Realms would truly fall into chaos!"
Black Corpse Trap?
I had never heard of such a thing!
Feeling puzzled, I asked, "Could you clarify that?"
"Brother! Haven't you seriously read the Mao Mountain Secret Essentials Heart Method that Qingyunzi gave you? It contains annotations on Black Fiend corpses."
To be honest, I hadn't paid much attention to this cultivation method, so I awkwardly replied, "Um, I didn't look at it closely..."
"Brother! Do you know about the Three Corpse of the Daoist School?" Furball said in a low voice.
Three Corpse of the Daoist School?
I had indeed seen this mentioned in Mausoleum Secrets. This concept was quite profound, but overall, the Three Corpse of the Taoist Sect should have two meanings.
One aspect refers to certain obstacles in their cultivation. The "three corpses" represent three types of "evil desires" within the human body: personal desire, appetite, and lust. Disciples of the Taoist Sect must eliminate these "three corpses," which means cutting off evil thoughts and removing demonic obstacles to achieve their Dao fruit!
In addition to this, there is a second meaning—the three corpses refer to three very special Mountain Spirits!
These three Mountain Spirits are quite different from ordinary ones; they maintain the characteristics of living beings but possess high intelligence. They cultivate death energy and evil energy, known as Eerie Energy, and are almost akin to demons, which is why they are also called Incarnate Spirits!
Given the current situation, Furball's certainty could not possibly refer to the so-called "three corpses of evil thoughts." So...
I gritted my teeth and asked, "Are you raising Incarnate Spirits?"
Furball fell silent. After a long while, he slowly replied, "Brother! If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case."
