Mortal Bones

"This kind of physique..."

"Impossible, Xuanhuangtian, the last... the last great master... died..."

"It is impossible for the Xuanhuangtian people to cultivate this kind of... physique..."

"You... are definitely not from... Xuanhuangtian..."

In the corner of the Taoist temple, the demon lord Wangyou supported the cracked wall and tried hard to get up.

"Boom!"

But before he could stand up, Xu Taiping used another mountain-shaking move and blasted towards his head with great speed.

"Bang!"

Amid the harsh collision, the head of the demon lord Wangyou was shattered on the spot.

Although Wangyou's blood and qi have been improved a lot, it is only equivalent to the physique of the general level after all, and it can't withstand the full force of Xu Taiping's wild lion physique.

"Hu..."

After Xu Taiping blasted this punch, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his chest, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a very strong feeling of hunger came from his stomach.

Just now, he forcibly exerted the power of the wild lion physique, which almost exhausted his blood and qi, and now he urgently needs to replenish it.

He hadn't felt this way for many years since he broke through the Tongxuan realm.

He instinctively reached out and patted his waist, wanting to take out a few pills from the green gourd, but he patted nothing, so he smiled awkwardly and said:

"I almost forgot that this is the Xuanhuang Tower, and you can't bring in pills."

However, as a warm current from the sky enveloped him, Xu Taiping's fatigue and hunger dissipated.

At the same time, Xu Taiping could clearly feel that a blood and qi force had been added to his body. And this blood and qi force usually requires at least ten years of practice.

"The depth of this blood should be considered the peak level of a general, right?"

"If the Forgetful Demon Lord didn't lie just now, killing people can only improve physical strength, and at the first level of the Xuanhuang Tower, the physical blood strength can only be improved to the martial arts master level at most."

"Then before the cultivators appear on this first level, with my physique and this black rock armor on my body, I should be able to fear no other cultivators."

He walked towards the door, muttering softly.

If possible, he actually wanted to improve his physique to the peak level of the martial arts master, and then break through the door-opening level, and then challenge the tower spirit.

"Although I may not get a higher reward, at least this is very stable."

Xu Taiping began to make a decision in his heart.

When he said this, he had already walked to the door of the Taoist temple, but just as he stretched out his foot to step over the threshold, he suddenly saw a figure running outside the Taoist temple.

Just as he was about to take a step back with some vigilance, he suddenly heard the figure shouting:

"Little brother, watch out behind you!"

Although Xu Taiping's soul sensing power was very weak at this time, after being reminded, he still sensed a chilling cold air coming from behind him.

"Plop!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping suddenly rolled to the left hand side.

However, because he dodged too slowly, during the rolling process, he clearly felt his left arm getting cold, and then he completely lost consciousness.

When he stood up again and looked up, he saw that his left arm was being entangled by a black air like a poisonous snake, which kept devouring his blood and qi through the acupoints and meridians connected to his right arm.

"Poison curse?"

Xu Taiping frowned and muttered to himself, then quickly used his right hand to "snap" and sealed several acupoints on his left arm.

Immediately, the blood and qi in his body stopped flowing.

"This is a common trick used by monsters recently. They will place this poisonous curse on their bodies before they die, and when the monks are careless after death, they will find a way to use their souls to activate this curse."

At this time, the man who had reminded Xu Taiping loudly before walked into the Taoist temple.

Xu Taiping looked carefully and found that this man was actually the middle-aged strong man who had previously commanded ordinary human monks in the hall to fight against monsters.

"Thank you for just now, brother."

Xu Taiping bowed and thanked him.

"You are polite, little brother."

The middle-aged strong man scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Just now, it was you, little brother, who saved our lives, but we abandoned you and fled alone. I am really ashamed."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping shook his head with some disapproval and said:

"It's human nature."

Seeing Xu Taiping's indifference, the middle-aged strong man showed a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

"Brother, do you know the name of this curse?"

Xu Taiping looked at the black air wrapped around his right arm, and then asked the middle-aged man.

Although he did not help in time, he was able to return, which showed that the man was still a bit brave and worthy of his trust.

"This poisonous curse, the full name is the Soul-Destroying Blood-Sucking Curse, which can seal the meridians and acupoints of human cultivators and also devour their blood."

Before the middle-aged man could speak, a female voice with a bit of coldness suddenly came from the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Looking up, a petite and cold-looking girl was walking into the temple.

Xu Taiping remembered this girl. When the middle-aged man summoned the human cultivators in the Taoist temple, she was the one who reacted the fastest.

"Miss Nanxing, you are back too."

The middle-aged man smiled and waved to the girl.

The girl nodded slightly to the middle-aged man, then looked at Xu Taiping again and continued:

"Fortunately, you reacted in time and only let the poisonous curse wrap around one arm. If your entire body was covered with the poisonous curse, you wouldn't have the energy to seal the acupoints. By then, the poisonous curse would have sucked all your energy and blood away little by little. Er Jing. Then your body will be replaced by that monster."

After hearing the girl's explanation, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"In other words, the soul of Wangyou is actually still residing in my arm?"

Xu Taiping looked at his left arm again.
