Chapter 117 Fighting

After a slight hesitation, Bu Gong slowly came to the corpse-burying nail; with a wave of his hand, the inch-long, deep red nail on the ground slowly floated up and then hovered in front of his eyes.

At this time, Bu Gong stared at the nail, and a rare solemnity appeared in his eyes.

He had personally felt the power of this thing. Just when Zhou Wen had attacked him, he had clearly felt an extremely cold wave piercing out from the tip of the nail, chilling him to the bone.

What’s more, Zhou Wen’s cultivation level was only half a step into the Yuan realm; based on this point alone, Bu Gong had to look at the legendary corpse-burying nails in front of him with new eyes.

Bu Gong believed that if the person who attacked him just now was a new cultivator who had entered the early stage of the first level of the Kūyuga Realm, he would have been injured to some extent and would not be as unscathed as he is now.

Bu Gong’s spiritual consciousness tightly wrapped around the nail in front of him, and a strange light faintly appeared in his eyes.

Because he could not sense any breath or energy fluctuations from the corpse burial nail; but when he tried his best to probe into its interior with his spiritual sense and sense it carefully, he would notice wisps of extremely faint bone-chilling cold breath slowly spreading inside.

That kind of chill actually caused a slight tingling sensation in his consciousness.

It took a long time for Bu Gong to put the nail away; he also searched out a palm-sized black storage bag from Zhou Wen’s shriveled body.

However, he did not check the contents immediately, but put them away first; because at this time he had already sensed that the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect were hiding not far from him.

Although it is now daybreak and the fog is only as high as a person’s waist, if someone is deliberately hiding, a cultivator who is half a step away from the Yuan realm will not be able to be discovered as long as the person is not within the range of your spiritual sense.

However, this is not very practical for Bu Gong.

…

“Brother Gong, the breath of that kid just now has completely disappeared. He should have been killed by the man in red in front.” About twenty feet away from Bu Gong, behind a huge rock in the endless clouds, four figures were crouching quietly.

Three of them were wearing the same dark robes; as for the other one, he moved with a dull expression, and was dressed in pure black clothes. There was a slender figure tucked under his ribs, who looked like a woman.

“Hehe…it doesn’t matter. Even if that guy is dead, his body is still useful to us. However, it seems that we are really lucky. Although one died, another one came alive.

Moreover, even the boy from Xianyang died at his hands. It seems that the red-clothed man’s cultivation level is at the top level even among those who are at the half-step peeping level. If we capture him alive and refine him into a corpse puppet, then… hehe…”

Only a low and sinister laugh was heard quietly from the mouth of Senior Brother Gong.

As for this, among the other two men beside him, the young man with an ordinary appearance and extremely pale complexion frowned slightly.

There was an elusive and inexplicable look between his brows, and his eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating about something; during these few breaths, his eyes kept sweeping over the back of Senior Brother Gong in front of him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Pursing his lips, the ordinary-looking man suddenly turned his head and glanced at the young man holding a small black disc next to him, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

“Brother Gong, are you sure that the man in red has really reached the level of Half-Step Peeping Yuan?” After hesitating for a moment, the ordinary-looking young man finally asked.

As he spoke these words with a hint of doubt, suddenly, a gloomy and cold aura rose up in an instant, causing the temperature in this small area to drop sharply.

“What? Are you doubting me?” Senior Brother Gong in front of him slowly turned his head at this moment, and a pair of gloomy and cruel eyes instantly stared at the young man.

It’s so cold, like being in an ice cellar; it’s so cold that it chills you to the bone!

The sudden change in Senior Brother Gong made the ordinary-looking young man’s face change drastically, and fear appeared in his expression.

“No, I dare not; I am just asking casually, I hope Brother Gong will not mind.” Seeing that the other party’s tone was very respectful and there was a strong sense of fear in it, Brother Gong’s expression eased a little.

Glancing at the young man lightly, Senior Brother Gong moved his lips slightly, and said in an indifferent and sinister voice: “That’s good, but I don’t want it to happen a second time.”

Seeing this, the ordinary-looking young man quickly complimented: “No, it will definitely not happen a second time. Thank you, Brother Gong, for your magnanimity.”

“Huh… I say, you guy, why are you suspicious? Senior Brother Gong broke through the Body Shaping Stage two months ago and advanced to the Yuan-Seeking Stage. Do you think that the man in red in front of you is also a Yuan-Seeking Stage cultivator?” At this time, the handsome young man holding a small black disc on the side chuckled and scolded.

At the right time, Senior Brother Gong also snorted coldly and said, “If he is a cultivator in the Peeping Yuan Realm, how could I not notice it? He doesn’t even have the unique aura and pressure of a cultivator in the Peeping Yuan Realm. It is obvious that he cannot be a cultivator in the Peeping Yuan Realm.”

Upon hearing this, the young man with ordinary appearance immediately responded respectfully: “Yes, Senior Brother Gong is absolutely right. I was careless.”

However, although Senior Brother Gong said so, he looked a little wary and suspicious; therefore, he did not show up immediately to deal with Bu Gong.

Obviously, he did not fully believe what he said in his heart; instead, he continued to hide his body and quietly observed Bu Gong’s every move.

However, Bu Gong, who was twenty feet away, stood still, playing with something in his hand, as if he had no idea of ​​the three people from the Corpse Puppet Sect at all.

But if you look closely, you will find that Bu Gong, who is standing calmly in front of you, has a slightly playful smile on his face.

Bu Gong has great composure. He will just stand there until his opponent makes no move. There will always be a time when his opponent can no longer hold back.

The sky was still dark, and even though it was daybreak, there was no trace of sunlight; the foggy area was silent and vast, and seemed very depressing.

Sure enough, about half a minute later, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out not far from Bugong.

“Jiejie…Jiejie…”

The sinister laugh sounded quite abruptly, suddenly resounding in this boundless and silent land of clouds and fog, adding a bit of viciousness and terror to it out of thin air.

“Hehehe…boy, I didn’t expect you to kill him?” At this moment, a cold and gloomy aura suddenly spread out from the right rear of Bu Gong; accompanied by it, was a stern question with a strong murderous intent.

Sensing the three cold and gloomy waves approaching quickly, Bu Gong was still playing with a small black wooden stake in his hand, as if he didn’t notice the other party at all, and was very calm.

The three Senior Brothers Gong who were quickly approaching Bu Gong, saw Bu Gong like this, anger surged in their eyes, and their murderous intent became even stronger.

“Boy, Senior Brother Gong just asked you a question, didn’t you hear it?” The handsome young man holding a small black disc following behind Senior Brother Gong shouted angrily when he saw this.

The three people looked at Bu Gong with eyes filled with cruelty and rage, as well as a hint of excitement.

In their eyes, Bu Gong was already a corpse puppet, it was just a matter of time.

At this time, Bu Gong, who was playing with the small black wooden stake in his hand with his eyes slightly lowered, slowly raised his head and looked at the three people standing in front of him.

No, it should be said that there were five people; in addition to the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect, there was also a corpse puppet and the unconscious Liu Min.

When Bu Gong looked at them, he also noticed the corpse puppet behind the three people.

Suddenly seeing the corpse puppet in a black robe, expressionless face, and without any energy fluctuations around it, Bu Gong’s eyes instantly focused; his spiritual sense habitually attached itself to it, carefully sensing the black-robed figure.

In response to this, the expressions of Senior Brother Gong and the other two had turned extremely ugly; the violent look in their eyes was surging, and their gazes towards Bu Gong were full of bloodthirstiness and cruelty.

Only at this moment did they truly feel what it felt like to not be looked at seriously; what’s more, the other party only looked like a small cultivator with the cultivation level of half a step to the Yuan realm.

In this way, Senior Brother Gong’s eyes were like a poisonous snake, staring viciously at Bu Gong who was standing calmly in front of him; his lips slightly curled up, revealing his sharp teeth, which further highlighted the strong murderous intent in his heart.

“Hehehe…boy, you are the first person to stand in front of me like this; so, you should feel very honored.” Only a gloomy, low and hoarse voice came out slowly from the mouth of Senior Brother Gong.

As the voice rang out, the aura around him suddenly became cold and violent; the wisps of mist also became chaotic with the violence of his breath.

His actions finally attracted Bu Gong’s attention.

At this moment, Bu Gong, perhaps because of the cold and gloomy fluctuations of Senior Brother Gong, shifted his gaze from the corpse puppet behind them to the rioting Senior Brother Gong.

After taking a quick look, Bu Gong narrowed his eyes and muttered as if to himself: “The early stage of the first level of the Peeping Yuan Realm? Huh… I didn’t expect that in this Xuanling secret place, there are so many people who have broken through to the Peeping Yuan Realm.”

Hearing Bu Gong’s somewhat casual and indifferent muttering to himself, Senior Brother Gong from the Corpse Puppet Sect opposite him instantly exploded; he tapped the ground with his toes repeatedly and pounced towards Bu Gong at an incredible speed.

A chill wave came towards him, and wherever Senior Brother Gong passed, the clouds and fog retreated; in this densely foggy area, he managed to carve out a narrow path for people to walk on.

“Hand of the Corpse”

Senior Brother Gong roared and waved his hands wildly. The originally vague and uncertain clouds instantly turned into almost tangible mist threads, which gathered from his palms and finally formed a pale ghostly mist hand.

Gray miasma quickly overflowed from the fingertips, and bone-chilling coldness spread everywhere.

Seeing this, Bu Gong was no longer careless. The magic power in his body roared out, and small arcs of light purple electricity rose around his body.

As his magic power was activated, Bu Gong’s arms quickly became ferocious; purple electric light flashed across his hands, like thunder hands watered by lightning.

Feeling the powerful magic power surging in his body, Bu Gong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his right hand instantly clenched into a fist in his sleeve.

Electric flashes flashed across the surface of his fist, forming a thunder fist. Then his eyes suddenly became stern, and his body rushed out violently. At the same time, his thunder fist also slammed towards the pale big hand that was quickly pinching towards him.

Suddenly, strong winds filled the air, and lightning flashed along with the gray fog, intertwining and entangled.

Even the air made a “pop, pop…” sound due to the hard collision between the two.

There was a sense of dominance and arrogance, and an icy chill that penetrated the bones. There were constant “squeaking” and “hissing” sounds between the two.

Even the clouds and mist in the sky and earth quickly fled after the head-on collision between the two.

“roll”

In an instant, Bu Gong lowered his waist and a thunderous sound exploded out; then, the purple electric light suddenly became bright on his thunder fist that was entangled with the opponent’s corpse hand.

A domineering energy, completely different from the previous one, burst out immediately.

In response to this, Senior Brother Gong, who originally had a ferocious smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression, and a hint of horror appeared in his gloomy eyes.

Then he suddenly felt a violent wave of force, almost twice as strong as before, rushing towards him violently from the opponent’s thunder fist.

Realizing this, Senior Brother Gong acted decisively. He retreated instantly, and the cold magic power in his body began to flow rapidly, trying his best to dissolve the thunder power from Bu Gong’s punch.

At the same time, a sudden blush flashed across his face.

At this moment, Senior Brother Gong, who had retreated more than ten feet away from Bugong, had his right palm trembling slightly in his sleeve; the blue veins on the back of his hand like earthworms quietly emerged. After a few breaths, a drop of black and red blood emitting a hint of coldness slid to his fingertips.

Bu Gong’s attack directly injured Senior Brother Gong.
