Chapter 13: Becoming A Bloodfiend
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It hurt!
The pain was unbearable!
This kind of pain not only penetrated deep into the bone marrow, but also into the soul!
It was as if it wanted to crush Su Mu from the inside out, from his soul to his body, inch by inch!
It was so painful that he couldn’t express it with words.
Su Mu was also a person who had died several times, and he believed that his willpower was strong.
But at that moment, when the damn talent [Resentment] came into play, the blood in his body started to boil.
It drove him into madness. His mind was shattering into pieces!
The intense resentment and loathing caused his corpse to emit a powerful aura of resentment.
At the same time, a large amount of Yin Qi gathered above Su Mu’s corpse, forming a strange vortex that ordinary people could not see.
The Yin Qi vortex sucked in the Yin Qi from all directions and seeped into Su Mu’s corpse.
The most important thing was that he was holding a small bottle in his mouth.
When the pain of death hit him, Su Mu gritted his teeth and crushed the small bottle.
The Yin Crow’s blood in the bottle entered his body through his throat and then flowed down his spine, enveloping all the bones in his body!
A strange, blood-red skeleton was quickly formed!
…
With all three conditions met, everything was in place.
In just an instant, Su Mu’s corpse had completely turned blood red, and a strong evil Yin Qi was drifting out.
The bloodfiend skeleton had appeared!
“Ka ka ka.”
“Ka ka ka.”
Su Mu twisted his body and slowly stood up from the ground.
Two balls of blood-colored ghostly fire danced in the eye sockets of his skull as he stared at Wuwei, who had an ugly expression on his face.
The intense Yin Qi and evil Qi that it emitted caused the temperature of the entire ruined temple to plummet!
Wuwei, who was being forced back, felt the pressure increase and he couldn’t breathe.
At the same time, the array he had set up around him trembled continuously.
It was as if it would collapse at any moment!
This formation was unable to trap a being like Su Mu within it.
It was only a matter of time before he collapsed.
All of this made Wuweizi’s situation extremely bad.
He could not believe his eyes!
“How is that possible? How can there be such a coincidence?” Wuwei, who was in a bad mood, shouted.
…
It was not an easy task for living beings to turn into demons or ghosts after they died.
On the contrary, it was extremely difficult!
Otherwise, this world would have long been filled with all kinds of demons, ghosts, monsters, and fiends.
It was even more difficult for the Bloodfiend skeleton, which was an extremely rare and violent ghost, to take form.
In front of Wuwei, Su Mu had transformed into a Bloodfiend skeleton at an astonishing speed, which made him seriously doubt his life!
He was only a second-rate warrior.
Coincidentally, his five elements corpse puppet had devoured all his flesh.
It just so happened that it had a strange talent that allowed it to gather a large amount of Yin Qi.
Another coincidence was that he had a bottle of precious Yin Crow blood in his mouth. When he died, he bit it to make up for the most crucial wisp of evil blood Qi.
The stars aligned to give birth to such a terrifying and brutal being.
The probability of this happening was probably not much higher than being struck by lightning.
And it just so happened that he, Wuwei, had to encounter this, and during his most vulnerable moment.
Thinking of this, Wuwei broke down even more.
He also had a vague feeling that Qingzu had planned all of this in advance!
It was as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling and arranging everything.
He was just a puppet on a bookcase!
This feeling of being a puppet on strings made Wuwei feel an inexplicable sense of fear.
But he didn’t have much time to think.
Su Mu, who had transformed into a Bloodfiend skeleton, had already set his eyes on him!
…
“Whoosh~~~”
A gust of cold wind blew past, and Su Mu suddenly disappeared.
Wuwei was on high alert.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a blood-colored skeletal hand reached out from the darkness behind him!
The blood bone palm had appeared too suddenly.
Before Wuwei could react, his face was covered by the palm.
Wuwei couldn’t help but scream out in pain, his entire body trembling like a sieve.
After the bone palm covered his face, agonizing pain came from the inside and outside.
On the outside, bone spikes grew out of the bone palm and ruthlessly pierced into his flesh.
Inside, Wuwei’s skull shook violently and expanded outward as if it was about to explode.
…
The Bloodfiend skeleton was indeed brutal.
Su Mu had just transformed, so he knew little about his own strength and abilities.
Just by relying on his instincts, he had easily overwhelmed Wuwei and brought him to the gates of hell!
Seeing that Wuwei was about to die, the third person on the scene made his move.
“Demon, don’t get so arrogant!”
With a serious expression, Qingxu jumped into the temple, made a hand seal, and directed it toward Su Mu.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
In an instant, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.
A thunderbolt as thick as a water python shot towards Su Mu.
Even before the lightning struck, Su Mu could already feel a fatal threat!
Thunder techniques were the nemesis of most ghosts, demons, and devils.
If they were hit by it, they would be half-crippled, if not dead!
Helplessly, Su Mu could only let go of Wuwei.
With a sway of his body, he once again disappeared into the darkness.
It was like a drop of water falling into the sea.
There was no trace at all.
…
“Damned traitor, are you dead yet?”
Even though he had forced Su Mu back with a thunder technique, Qingxu did not let his guard down.
He looked around warily as he asked Wuwei.
Although Qingxu had to clean up after the sect, he couldn’t let Wuwei die at the hands of the demons, even if he was a traitor.
At that moment, there were more than ten finger-sized bloody holes on Wuwei’s face.
His skull also expanded, and his head was a full size bigger.
The injuries caused him to be unrecognizable and looked extremely terrifying!
If such injuries were to be inflicted on an ordinary person, even a martial artist with a high cultivation base would have died.
However, Wuwei was proficient in all sorts of unorthodox methods, demonic arts, and strange techniques.
“I… I won’t die.”
After a few breaths, Wuwei weakly replied.
Then, he took out a bamboo tube and mumbled something to it, as if he was casting some kind of evil spell.
Soon, more than a dozen meat worms crawled out of the bamboo tube and crawled onto Wuwei’s face one by one, before entering the bloody holes.
One bloody hole and one meat worm, no more, no less.
The flesh worms wriggled on the wounds on his face, which was very disgusting.
However, these flesh worms were very magical.
It first ate the dead flesh and blood that had been corroded by the Yin Qi at the wound, then spat silk and spun the cocoon on the spot.
The flesh-colored cocoon that it formed could fuse with his flesh and blood to heal this fatal injury.
After just a few moments, the dozen or so bloody holes on Wuwei’s face were repaired.
Other than the color of the new “flesh” being a little different, there was no discernible difference.
