Chapter 116 Corpse Burial Nail

“Let’s go; hehe… I didn’t expect this kid could really run away. I don’t believe you can fly to the sky this time?” With a sinister grin, Senior Brother Gong rushed forward in an instant.

Then, the two young men who were standing behind him with their bodies bent over also followed; of course, the corpse puppet with Liu Min tucked under its arm also followed.

…

On the other hand, Bu Gong and Zhou Wen were standing by the small lake. Bu Gong had a calm demeanor the entire time, and he didn’t seem to care at all about the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples who were rapidly approaching him.

However, although Bu Gong was like this, Zhou Wen behind him was different.

At this time, Zhou Wen had cold sweat dripping down his forehead, his eyes shifting constantly, and from time to time he would secretly glance at Bu Gong who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.

“What should I do? If those three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples come over and they find out about my plot against Liu Min, then…” Thinking of this, Zhou Wen secretly glanced at Bu Gong’s back again from the corner of his eye, his face turning pale and blue.

“What if Liu Min had already been turned into a corpse puppet by them last night?” Zhou Wen was thinking about a solution when suddenly this thought popped up in his mind.

However, he immediately rejected it. He knew that the probability was very small because it would take a certain amount of time to refine a corpse puppet.

The other party was able to catch up in such a short time, it was obvious that Liu Min had not yet been refined into a corpse puppet.

“If Bu Gong knew that I had plotted against Liu Min, and he attacked me directly…” Thinking of this, even Zhou Wen became flustered.

As this thought continued to emerge, the look in Zhou Wen’s eyes became more and more sinister, and he racked his brains to think of a response strategy.

“Since the three from the Corpse Puppet Sect have already rushed here, and they are obviously no match for Bu Gong, then, if Bu Gong is also injured…”

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen’s mind instantly became active; his originally changeable eyes also quietly revealed a trace of imperceptible hostility.

“The finger he used to pierce the boulder last night must be his strongest weapon, right? If that’s true, then I’ll risk my life and pay a price to get him injured. By then, the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples will have arrived…”

Soon, an idea of ​​a plan that he thought was the best and most perfect at the moment quickly formed in Zhou Wen’s mind.

“Let Bu Gong and the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples conflict and fight with each other. Besides, Bu Gong is a cultivator in the Peeping Yuan realm. I think the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples will be very excited when they see him. After all, the higher the cultivator’s cultivation level during his lifetime, the greater the room for his future growth will be after he is refined into a Corpse Puppet.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen’s anger grew stronger; as the saying goes, “evil comes from the courage”, this is the most appropriate way to describe Zhou Wen at this moment.

At this point, Zhou Wen secretly activated the magic power in his body and let it flow quietly; at the same time, he secretly glanced at Bu Gong’s back from the corner of his eye to prevent himself from being discovered.

“Brother Bu Gong, how far are those three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect from us now?” While secretly accumulating the magic power in his body, he asked Bu Gong as if intentionally or unintentionally.

But what he didn’t know was that Bu Gong was already sneering in his heart at this moment; but he didn’t show it. Instead, he remained motionless, as if he didn’t notice Zhou Wen’s little movement behind him at all.

Seeing Zhou Wen ask this, Bu Gong also symbolically sensed it and said, “Probably about thirty or forty feet away, it will be soon.”

“Oh? It’s only thirty or forty feet away? In that case, then…” His voice gradually became steady, with a hint of unpredictable meaning hidden in it.

“Then go to hell!” Suddenly, Zhou Wen roared behind Bu Gong; Bu Gong immediately felt a sharp and cold air that made his skin sting and chill, and it stabbed towards his waist fiercely.

It was fast, faster than one could have imagined. Even though Bu Gong had been prepared mentally, his heart still skipped a beat.

Even, feeling the sharp energy coming towards him, Bu Gong felt vaguely uneasy in his heart!

On the other hand, Zhou Wen was only two or three feet away from Bu Gong at this time; his eyes looking at Bu Gong were full of gloom and cruelty, and there was a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth that made people’s heart palpitate.

Bu Gong was secretly shocked by this; he didn’t expect Zhou Wen’s attack to be so powerful.

It actually made him feel a little uneasy. Of course, he didn’t dare to be careless about this.

Because he trusted his intuition more, since Zhou Wen’s sneak attack on him made him feel uneasy, then he must have used some means that he didn’t know about.

With this thought in mind, the light purple magic power in Bu Gong’s body roared out; followed by a small “crackling” sound suddenly rang out, and at the same time, a layer of purple electric arc light shield quickly rose around him.

He made a hand gesture with his left arm, and his right arm flashed with a bright light.

“Body Binding Technique”

Bu Gong suddenly turned around, and three wind vines as thick as babies’ arms appeared out of thin air in his left hand, and they wrapped around the red light that was rushing towards him.

At the same time, a dazzling bright spot gathered at the tip of Bu Gong’s right index finger and pointed directly at the red light that was flying towards him.

Instantly, a bright beam of light as thick as a thumb shot out from his fingertips; at an incredible speed, it headed towards the red light that was so fast that it seemed unreal.

“laugh…”

“bite…”

As the two came into quick contact, a low “chi chi” sound was heard, followed by a light “ding” sound. The deep red light that had just been rushing towards Bu Gong suddenly stopped and then shot back out violently.

It transformed into an illusory stream of light that could not be captured by the naked eye, and stabbed towards Zhou Wen who was grinning in front of him.

Seeing this incredible sudden change in front of him, Zhou Wen’s face, which had just been grinning, suddenly froze; instead, it turned pale in an instant, as white as gold paper.

Even when he looked at the deep red light rushing towards him, his eyes were filled with fear and deep despair.

After all, he still didn’t expect Bu Gong’s strength and decisiveness.

What made him despair the most was the deep red light that was stabbing towards him; he knew that if he was even scratched a little by this thing, it would make him live a life worse than death.

However, before the fear in his eyes faded, he suddenly felt a soul-devouring and bone-gnawing pain spread from his chest to his entire body.

Along with it, a shrill scream rang out, echoing in the foggy area and drifting towards the sky.

Even the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who were rushing here quickly at this time felt a chill on their backs the moment the scream was heard.

Zhou Wen felt that his blood, energy, magic power, etc. were decreasing at a terrifying rate; it was as if there was some terrifying monster in his body, forcibly devouring everything in him.

He felt so close to death; even at the moment before his soul disappeared, Zhou Wen unexpectedly felt a trace of regret in his heart. He regretted attacking Bu Gong.

Otherwise, even if his cultivation was destroyed, it would be far better than total death.

Only at this moment did he realize what a wrong decision he had just made.

Zhou Wen’s face became rapidly thinner, his eyes bulged out, and his expression was extremely terrifying. His body also shrank rapidly until it turned into a skinny skeleton.

Seeing this scene, Bu Gong’s eyes fixed and he frowned slightly.

Zhou Wen’s death was so bizarre that even Bu Gong couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw it.

What kind of death was this? All the essence and bone marrow in the body were sucked out; a living person was silently reduced to a pale, skinny skeleton.

“Huh? How come this kid has such a ferocious thing in his hand?” Just as Bu Gong frowned and concentrated, the evil spirit in his mind exclaimed in surprise, with a hint of surprise in its tone.

“Oh? What evil creature?” Bu Gong’s heart moved when he heard it, and he asked casually.

“First go over and find the thing that attacked you just now from his body.” Upon hearing Bu Gong’s question, the evil spirit did not answer immediately. Instead, it urged Bu Gong to go and find the evil thing.

In response, Bu Gong nodded and walked towards Zhou Wen’s body in front of him.

He came to Zhou Wen’s corpse and swept out with his palm. As the dried corpse floated up, suddenly, a dark red object about an inch long slid down from it.

When it fell to the ground, it made a crisp golden sound.

Seeing this, Bu Gong’s eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at the object that fell to the ground.

It is covered in rust and dark red in color. It is about an inch and a half long and shaped like a nail.

“Nail?” After seeing the object clearly, Bu Gong was stunned, with some surprise and doubt in his eyes.

To be precise, it is not a nail, but a rusty nail.

At this time, Bu Gong was a little speechless. At least you brought a magic weapon. Even if it was a low-level magic weapon, it would be fine. But it was just a rusty nail; there was not even a trace of energy fluctuation on it, let alone it was a magic weapon.

“Tsk tsk… I didn’t expect it. Looking at that kid just now, his cultivation level is only half a step to the Yuan realm. How could he possess such a ferocious thing?” Just as Bu Gong was muttering to himself in his heart, the evil spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness was amazed.

Hearing the evil spirit say this, Bu Gong’s eyes showed some doubts, and he looked at the nail lying quietly on the ground again.

“Hehe…boy, I don’t know whether this thing is a blessing or a curse for you. Anyway, if you use this thing well, maybe it can save your life at the critical moment of life and death.” At this time, the evil spirit suddenly laughed.

“Oh? At this critical moment of life and death, can you save my life?” Upon hearing these words, even Bu Gong’s state of mind was instantly rippled.

“You mean, this nail can save my life at the critical moment?” Bu Gong asked again, seeming a little uncertain.

Seeing Bu Gong like this, the evil spirit curled his lips and said unhappily: “Boy, this is not an ordinary nail; even in the world of immortal cultivation, it is a well-known evil creature called the Corpse Burial Nail.”

“Corpse Burial Nail?” Bu Gong’s mind was slightly dazed when he suddenly heard this name; he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

“Bury nails, bury nails, bury…” Bu Gong murmured in a low voice for about a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and then his eyes instantly burst into a gleam of light.

His eyes quickly turned to the rusty nail on the ground in front of him, with a hint of disbelief in his expression.

He had once glanced at the corpse-burying nails in an ancient book in the Xianyang Sect’s library.

According to records, hundreds of years ago, there were five immortal cultivation sects in the Qingxi Region; but at that time, those sects were all led by the Corpse Puppet Sect and followed its lead.

However, as time went by, the ambition of the Corpse Puppet Sect grew bigger and bigger; they gradually became dissatisfied with maintaining their status as the largest sect, and the sect actually wanted to completely swallow up the other four sects.

Therefore, in the next one or two hundred years, the Corpse Puppet Sect gradually destroyed the Fire Bone Island and the Body Tempering Sect under a secret plan; but unfortunately, the news of their secret encroachment and one-by-one annihilation was somehow leaked.

This immediately aroused the anger of the remaining two sects, and then the Xianyang Sect and the Shenjian Sect united to resist the invasion of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

You should know that in the Corpse Puppet Sect, everyone has his or her own natal corpse puppet, and some people have other dead corpse puppets in addition to their own natal corpse puppets; so their strength at that time was extremely powerful.

Therefore, in the confrontation and struggle with the other two factions, this sect actually showed signs of being evenly matched with the other two factions.

This shocked the Xianyang Sect and the Shenjian Sect; and in this way, the two forces gradually came to a stalemate.

However, one day, this delicate balance was broken; the situation tilted directly in favor of the Xianyang Sect and the Shenjian Sect, and the Shikui Sect was defeated and destroyed.

The reason was that the Xianyang Sect and the Shenjian Sect somehow took out several magic weapons that looked like nails.

Moreover, this kind of magic weapon can cause extremely great damage, especially to things like corpse puppets, and even ordinary cultivators dare not touch it lightly.

With the defeat of the Corpse Puppet Sect at that time, the evil reputation of the mysterious magic weapon possessed by the Xianyang Sect and the Divine Sword Sect gradually spread: “Corpse Burial Nail, specially used to bury corpses…”

“call…”

As some records about the corpse-burying nails emerged in his mind, Bu Gong’s expression became solemn; his gaze towards the corpse-burying nail on the ground also became serious.
