Chapter 159: The Living Corpse Truth
"Uh-huh......!"
Facing the hideous woman in front of him, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly swelled with a chill, and after struggling to no avail, he found that the hot 'Gu Dan' in his arms was gradually cracking in a "click" sound, not only that, but those fragments also began to slowly pierce into his skin like sharp cones, and the severe pain caused by this made Jiang Yao's consciousness in a trance.
"You...... What did you do!?"
Jiang Yao's face turned pale, and a few words popped out intermittently from between his teeth. In the ups and downs of consciousness, he saw the woman in front of him with a face exactly like Wen Jie smiling and opening her mouth, and slowly spit out a small human bone pendant from the tip of her tongue.
This is!?
Jiang Yao was taken aback, but then he saw the woman close her mouth and bite, only to hear a cracking sound of "click", the human bone pendant shattered in response, and the cracked "Gu Dan" also burst with a bang, and pieces of debris suddenly turned into red particles and seeped into Jiang Yao's body.
"Uhh——!hh
In the roar of pain, a stream of red light rushed like magma against the current, rushing and flowing in Jiang Yao's internal organs in an instant, and dredged the veins that had been silent for a long time. In that moment, roars, shouts, broken whispers...... All kinds of chaotic noises began to resonate in Jiang Yao's head, and with it, in addition to the ocean of energy in his body, there was also a certain juvenile voice that had become more and more obvious from hazy and ethereal.
"Hehehe...... The insatiable guy is digging his own grave......
Familiar words echoed in Jiang Yao's mind, and in the midst of the chaos, a young man who had not been seen for a long time slowly emerged in the depths of his consciousness.
Yes, it's you!?
The figure of the young man gradually stepped out of the shadow of consciousness, and on the face that was exactly the same as that of the young Jiang Yao, it exuded a calmness and indifference that was extremely inconsistent with the immature appearance.
"Do you perceive that 'power' in the other person's body...... It was originally part of "us". 」
As the young man spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and the glimmer of light flowing on his fingertips continued to stimulate Jiang Yao's nerves.
Is the power in the body of the "living corpse" difficult, is it ......!
「…… Go ahead...... It's time!"
"Uh-huh, ahhhh——!!h
Jiang Yao held his head that was about to burst, and bursts of purple and red fluctuations began to erupt around his body, and the red energy that originally bound Jiang Yao also began to gradually fall apart under Jiang Yao's violent struggle.
[This breath...... Hehe, it seems that my guess is right, you have a 'Chiyou Soul' in your body, and there is more than one!]
In the face of Jiang Yao's rampage, the "living corpse" woman in front of her was not half surprised, but revealed some kind of perverted excitement.
[Give it to me...... Give me everything you have!!]
As the woman spoke, she stretched out her hand and raised her white withered claws, turned her hand into a blade, and stabbed it into Jiang Yao's abdomen who was struggling to get up! With the strange glimmer of light in the woman's hand, Jiang Yao felt a force pulling violently in his body, and the cold anxiety rushed to every cell of Jiang Yao like a poisonous snake, and then it was a kind of anger that broke through reason.
"Let go, let go of my ......!"
Jiang Yao roared angrily, and his eyes began to turn red.
“…… Put your dirty hands ...... Take the ——!! off me"
With Jiang Yao's loud shout, a dark purple demonic aura mixed with red light burst out from Jiang Yao's body! At that moment, the air around Jiang Yao's body was like a sharp wind blade, cutting the surrounding ruins and bones to pieces, and the "living corpse" woman who was caught off guard was also forced to retreat under the coercion of the dark purple demonic qi, staring at Jiang Yao.
['The power of the beast'? no, it's more than ......!]
The "living corpse" woman stared at the giant claw phantom that was embodied by demonic qi on Jiang Yao's right arm, and in the dark purple electric light, there seemed to be some strange red light flowing in it, which made her a little surprised.
[Oh, just a human being, can actually drive the power of the 'Chiyou Soul' in the body...... It seems that I underestimate you too much. 】
The woman said viciously, but soon, a cold smirk appeared on her face again.
[But even so, so what? You in the 'Demon Gu Array' are still in my bag!]
As soon as the words fell, a strange red light suddenly burst out from the pair of cloudy eyes of the "living corpse" woman, and with the flow of light and shadow of those magic circle lines on the ground, the red mist that had previously bound Jiang Yao made a comeback from the magic circle again, and this time it was even more overwhelming, like a surging wave, rushing towards Jiang Yao in an instant.
"Boom la la ——!"
The shattered bones on the stone platform were scattered and shattered in the violent impact, turning into powder. Under the violent shock, the originally crumbling stone platform began to spread all over the ravines, and even the red enchantment that was spread around it also showed the slightest crack. However, the shattering of the stone platform did not seem to affect the operation of the 'Demon Gu Array' above, and with another loud noise, the stone platform collapsed, and the red demon light that rose up suspended in the air with some strange patterns, enveloping everything in the cave underneath.
[Hahahaha!Although the Chiyou Soul is powerful, with your little human body, you can't exert one-ten-thousandth of its power at all!
The "living corpse" woman laughed, looking up at the dusty ruins of the stone platform in front of her, her face uncontrollable madness.
[If I hadn't accidentally picked up this 'Wu Zhu corpse' back then, and used the 'Wu Zhu's blood' to lay a 'Demon Gu Array' here, I wouldn't have found out that this place actually hid the 'Chi You's remnant soul', which helped me become so strong!]
The woman grinned, her withered fingers brushing the faintly beating red light of danger across her chest.
[And now, another human with a collection of three Chiyou remnant souls has been sent to me, it's like God helping me!]
The woman raised her head and looked at the ruins in front of her, which were constantly engulfed by lava, her chaotic eyes bursting with excitement and eerie light.
[Hehehe...... Fragile human, don't die, if you just die like this, it will be troublesome to collect the soul of Chiyou again......]
"So, are you going to refine me into the 'Demon Gu' you control?"
The emotionless voice sounded coldly from the woman's side, the latter's face froze in an instant, and the next moment she turned her head one hundred and eighty degrees, stretched out her withered claws and was about to grab Jiang Yao who appeared behind her, but the moment she turned to the back, another red phantom suddenly fell from the sky, and in less than half a second, the back of the woman's neck was suddenly clamped by a force, and then the head flew straight upside down, and smashed into the tumbling lava crack not far away.
[Ahh——!!hh
The terrible scream erupted in the rushing magma! The body of the "living corpse" that had lost its head trembled, and it was about to chase in the direction of the head, but at this time, how could Jiang Yao sit idly by, and before the corpse moved, the giant claw phantom on Jiang Yao's right arm suddenly elongated, and the dark purple demonic qi entangled by the slightest demonic red light swept through bursts of energy fluctuations, and instantly stabbed into the chest of the "living corpse".
"......Boom!"
At the moment when the giant claw touched the chest of the "living corpse", a dazzling electric light interlaced with purple and red burst out in an instant! In the blink of an eye, the corpse was completely devoured by the associated demonic energy and electric fire, and to Jiang Yao's surprise, he found that under the charred black and peeling flesh of the "living corpse", pieces of fine cyan scales were revealed, and the "true face" hidden under the flesh and skin was burned by the electric light, and the "true face" hidden under it was finally revealed at this moment.
The blue-gray scales of the snake scales were densely covered with the withered and clumsy body, and the ridiculously long ten fingers dragged along the sides of the body with the hanging arms, but the parts that were originally counted as "legs" were glued together in the middle of the way, dragging down like an alienated snake tail, and the shoulders of the other party were still empty, but even without a head, it still could not stop the struggle.
"It's ...... What kind of monster!?" Jiang Yao's face changed greatly, this situation had long been beyond his cognition, and with the assistance of the surging demonic power in his body, he also vaguely "saw" a demonic aura that seemed to be like nothing spread out from the original neck of his body, like a rope, extending towards the place where the head flew before.
"Hmph, it's been a long time, it turns out that the 'flying head barbarian' ......"
A disdainful snort sounded in Jiang Yao's ears, and he saw the gluttony on the side look at the monster who was struggling uselessly in the demonic scorching, and spit out a sentence lightly.
"Is 'Flying Head Man' ...... a demon?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.
"That's right. The original "Flying Head Man" is a kind of demon that can separate the head from the body, and its strength is not very strong, and it looks no different from a human on weekdays, but what you see now is probably not an ordinary "Flying Head Man". Gluttony glanced at the monster's mutated body and said.
"According to its previous self-report, I am afraid that the corpse of the woman named 'Wen Jie' who died a year ago was used as a skin by it, so it was able to hide the demonic qi and use the woman's 'Wuzhu's blood' to set up a 'Demon Gu Array' to refine the demon Gu. And the reason why its power is unusual should be due to the absorption of the remnant soul of Chiyou who stayed in this "Demon God Temple". ”
Gluttony focused his gaze on the faintly beating red glimmer from the other party's chest and continued.
"However, it is difficult to control the remnant soul of Chiyou without the 'Fetal Light' solid soul, and even Si You was backlashed at the beginning, not to mention that the strength of this demon is far inferior to Si You, and now in this case, it is basically over. ”
"Chiyou remnant soul ......" Jiang Yao looked at the monster body in front of him that fell weakly after being burned by the flames, and subconsciously pressed the chest with a strong heartbeat.
No wonder...... My body reacted so violently...... Is it because of the relationship that resonates with Chiyou's main soul "Fetal Light"?
"But...... Since it is difficult to control the Chiyou soul without the 'fetal light', why was this 'Flying Head Man' able to use the power of the Chiyou soul for a long time before?" Jiang Yao stared vigilantly at the motionless monster in front of him, still having some doubts. "Moreover, you said before that the 'Flying Head Man' is usually no different from a human, but why did this one in front of you mutate like this? Is it because of the influence of Chi You's soul?"
"Theoretically, having a soul in your body doesn't affect your appearance, let alone mutate the species, think about your own situation. ”
Gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao, but then focused his gaze on the monster corpse, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"As for why it was able to harness the power of Chiyou's soul and mutate to this point...... I think there's probably another possibility......"
"Pound!!"
Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion exploded with the burst of magma from the front of the cracks, Jiang Yao only felt a flower in front of him, and before he could react, he was pulled behind by the gluttony, and at the same time, he suddenly found that the body of the monster in front of him that had been burned into shapes jumped up again, and with the return of a round object, a dangerous aura gradually spread around the two.
"Heh, I almost forgot, if you want to completely destroy the 'Flying Head Man', it's useless to just attack the body. ”
Gluttony sneered, looking up at the skin that had been destroyed by the lava, revealing a blue-gray demon skull full of fangs inside, no human and no ghost, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"Look, the Lord is coming. ”
