Chapter 62 - Peculiar Creatures (1/2)

The flesh wall kept on palpitating as if something huge were moving in the dark, but what made Zhong Yue truly curious was the fact that the vibrations felt as if something big was rolling on the ground instead of walking.

"What is that?" asked Xin Huo curiously.

Soon, they saw a war chariot approaching them after it turned out from a corner in the flesh tunnel—it was a war chariot made with flesh!

Zhong Yue had no idea how to describe what he saw as this war chariot that was charging right at him was about 300 feet long and made of flesh! Its chassis, windows, and axles were made of bones, and it was carried on legs that spread out from its frame like spider legs.

On the war chariot's windshield was a thick beast hide that looked like it was peeled off from a beast, and the frame had compact ball of flesh hanging over it.

It was the first time Zhong Yue had ever seen such a strange thing; it caused his skin to crawl at the bizarre grotesqueness.

Could there be anything weirder than a living war chariot wholly made with flesh and bone?

"Xin Huo, is this really a corpse demon spawned from the demonic Qi in this abyss?" whispered Zhong Yue while handing over the lamp to the Sui Sovereign behind him.

Xin Huo too felt confused as hadn't encountered such weird living things in his life as well, "It looks so weird… Be careful!"

The meatballs on the flesh war chariot suddenly expanded, and a head dangled down. Its limbs reached out to the sides, and it was its tail that was hung on the war chariot's frame.

The meatball entirely stretched out and transformed into a weird looking creature. It landed on the ground, and sharp blades protruded out from its tail behind its back. The blades looked like the Blood Batoidea Sword, one of the Ten Malefic Weapons that Zhong Yue once saw in the Heart of Swords Palace!

Zhe zhe—

Not only that, but blades also flicked out from this corpse demon's claws. In an instant, this corpse demon had transformed into a war machine!

So this is the real corpse demon, that war chariot was just a vehicle to carry the corpse demons around.

Zhong Yue was relieved as seeing a living flesh war chariot was already weird enough, not to mention fighting against one.

Phew—

This corpse demon leaped and plunged toward Zhong Yue, creating a huge gust of wind!

So fast!

Zhong Yue countenance turned stern as the speed of this corpse demon was incredibly fast, it actually got close to him in just the blink of an eye!

Whereas whenever it swung its claws, it incited a loud explosion in the air as its speed broke through the sound barrier!

This meant that its speed of attack far exceeded the speed of sound!

"This corpse demon's speed makes its attacks as equally strong as those Qi Practitioners that focus on physique-refining, be careful!" shouted Xin Huo.

At the same time as Xin Huo shouted, this corpse demon was already only a few inches away from Zhong Yue!

Suddenly, dragon scales and Xiang Dragon totem carvings emerged on Zhong Yue's body, and along with a thunderous boom, the entire tunnel was filled with the sword rays' radiance!

With his strength and speed enhanced by the totem carvings, he moved and attacked with the speed of a Xiang Dragon! As he ran, his visualization continued, and he launched a volley of thunderous sword energy that imbued with his insights of the [Boundless Great Sword Qi].

Qi Practitioners that focus only on body refinement?

As they clashed together, Zhong Yue could feel the immense power emanating from his foe's claws. This demon was not only fast, but it also had obscene strength. Every collision made Zhong Yue's tremor to the point that his muscles were almost rendered numb!

However, the corpse demon was flung backward because of the reaction force as well. As it landed on the ground, it quickly recovered from the reaction force and lunged straight toward Zhong Yue with unstoppable force!

In a split second, it caught up with Zhong Yue, and it swung its bladed tails with lightning speed toward Zhong Yue!

"I may not be a Qi Practitioner, but I'm a cultivator that practices both physique refining and Qi cultivation! Now die!"

Zhong Yue shouted, and a sapling broke through the ground below him. The sapling's size then instantly catapulted to colossal and pierced that corpse demon with numerous tree branches!

Whereas for the tail attack, Zhong Yue visualized the Sui Sovereign and punched at the tail squarely with his fists. The serrated tail of that corpse demon created raucous sounds when it cut through the Sui Sovereign's fist as the momentum of its attack lessened.

Finally, the bladed tail came to a halt right as it was about to cut through Zhong Yue's neck. He then retreated and landed safely.

At the same time as he landed on the ground, the corpse demon shattered into dust and fell to the ground. It was the wood elemental sword energy launched by Zhong Yue that destroyed this corpse demon's body!
