Chapter 101: Bloodline Gu Worm, Skin-shedding Giant Python, Elder In The Jade Coffin
As the crown of the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree gradually burned away in the flames, the black qi emerging from the tree also gradually weakened, the dark clouds in the sky slowly began to disperse, and the thunder in the air gradually faded.
In the sky, the blazing sun had already risen to three poles!
Under the sunlight, that jade coffin flickered with a deep red glow, looking eerie and bewitching!
Wang Pang Zi looked at this jade coffin and couldn’t help but start drooling:
“If this jade coffin is transported to the Capital City, it could sell for at least a few million!”
Hu Ba Yi heard this and said irritably:
“If you’re capable, carry it back yourself!”
Wang Pang Zi gave an embarrassed laugh:
“I was just saying… what a pity, such a fine jade coffin!”
As the two were speaking, suddenly the bloodlines beside the coffin weakened along with the fire on the crown, and they began wriggling like horsehair worms one after another. In an instant, countless bloodlines had spread beyond the tree roots.
“Careful!”
Zhang Qiling quickly drew the Black Gold Ancient Blade and protected Su Mo and the others in front.
No sooner had the words been spoken than countless bloodlines shot out from the jade coffin, flying toward Zhang Qiling like countless flying snakes.
Zhang Qiling quickly raised the Black Gold Ancient Blade, executing a move from the Golden Crow Saber Technique called Blazing Red Sun, instantly transforming the sword light into a sky full of snow light.
Slash slash…
As the blade edge fell, many bloodlines were severed by the Black Gold Ancient Blade!
But there were simply too many of these bloodlines. Although Zhang Qiling severed many with the Golden Crow Saber Technique, quite a few still flew over from the sides, suddenly turning in midair as if possessing consciousness and wrapping around Zhang Qiling’s arms and body.
These bloodlines were like leeches with suction; once they wrapped around Zhang Qiling, they stuck tightly to his skin. Zhang Qiling immediately felt a stinging pain as they pierced his skin upon attaching to his body.
But as Zhang Qiling’s skin was pierced, these bloodlines suddenly trembled and all detached from his body, retreating swiftly like horsehair worms scalded by fire.
Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, and Xue Li Yang were all baffled by this scene:
“What is going on?”
Su Mo couldn’t help but sneer:
“Little Brother has the purest kirin blood, yet these gu worms actually dared to pierce his skin to suck blood and enter his body!”
It turned out that as soon as these gu worms touched the kirin blood in Zhang Qiling’s body, they were immediately repelled by the power of the kirin blood in his blood!
Zhang Qiling looked down and saw many blood spots already on his body!
If he didn’t have kirin blood, these gu worms would have entered his body along his flesh and blood in an instant, completely taking over his flesh and blood!
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi couldn’t help but stick out their tongues:
“Good grief, luckily Little Brother’s bloodline is powerful!”
“Master, can the kirin blood in our bodies be this powerful?”
Su Mo shook his head:
“The kirin blood in your bodies is relatively dilute, but you should also be immune to these gu worms!”
“That’s good!”
Hearing Su Mo say that his blood was also immune to this kind of gu worm, Wang Pang Zi immediately grabbed his entrenching tool and swung it at the many bloodline gu worms in front.
Hu Ba Yi also drew his machete and, together with Xue Li Yang, severed all the spreading gu worm bloodlines.
As the three cut off the gu worm bloodlines outside, the jade coffin in the tree heart suddenly trembled, followed by a loud bang, as if something inside had suddenly become enraged and was pounding on the coffin.
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all startled and quickly used their entrenching tools and machetes to defend themselves.
Su Mo’s eyes, however, were fixed on the jade coffin as he sneered:
“You wretched creatures, you want to come out and cause trouble?”
No sooner had he spoken than the jade coffin lid suddenly shattered with a bang, and a splash of scarlet blood-like juice sprayed out, surging like a sea of blood!
Immediately after, a very eerie corpse appeared in the jade coffin!
It was a figure wearing a golden mask on its face and holding a golden scepter in hand. From the snow-white hair and beard, it could be judged to be an old man. A skinned giant python was wrapped around its naked body, with countless bloodlines growing between the body and the python corpse, like the entire body was covered in dense blood-colored horsehair worms!
As the coffin lid shattered, the skinned giant python on the old man’s body suddenly twitched, its tail extending from below and quickly coiling around several roots in front, dragging the old man’s corpse outward.
At the same time, the countless blood silk gu worms on its body swelled upon contact with the air, instantly growing several feet longer, making its entire body resemble a bright red sea urchin covered in red spines!
These blood silk gu worms grew extremely fast, soon reaching over a meter long, writhing like a dance of serpents.
At the same time, the old man’s corpse slowly advanced with the movement of the giant python!
The entire scene looked utterly terrifying. Hu Ba Yi and the others’ faces turned ghastly pale, and even Zhang Qiling’s face paled somewhat, a trace of horror appearing in his eyes!
“Get out of the way!”
Su Mo suddenly roared and dashed in front of everyone in one stride, drawing the Frost Moon Sword from its sheath on his back.
Those blood silk gu worms seemed to sense Su Mo and thrust toward him like a swarm of snakes.
Before the blood silk gu worms could reach him, Su Mo suddenly let out an angry roar:
“Retreat!”
This roar carried the power of the four-layered Futuo Technique, amplified to the limit by the power of the Lion’s Roar from Buddhism, and filled with the might of kirin sacred blood.
Boom!
In the roar, the entire space seemed to shake.
The blood silk gu worms flying and stabbing toward him suddenly withered like rapidly fading flower buds in the roar, instantly turning mostly black and falling from the air.
Su Mo’s Lion’s Roar from Buddhism, instantly amplified with cultivation and the might of kirin sacred blood, seemed to completely destroy their vitality in that moment!
The giant python wrapped around the old man’s corpse trembled, suddenly turning and moving backward, as if sensing Su Mo’s terror and wanting to flee.
Su Mo sneered:
“Want to escape?”
With that, he suddenly leaped into the air, his body soaring midair in an instant, while the Frost Moon Sword in his hand slashed down from above.
Slash!
The sword light flashed like white rainbow across the sky!
A sword mark suddenly appeared between the old man’s corpse and the skinned giant python!
Their bodies had no blood, so no blood flowed from the sword mark; instead, white fat and muscle rapidly split open and separated within it.
Immediately after, its body split in the middle, quickly dividing into two halves, with countless blood-red spots in the muscle—clearly those blood silk gu worms—which were all sliced in half by Su Mo’s sword!
As the corpse split, the old man’s remains and the skinned giant python’s corpse collapsed, turning into a pile of white rotten flesh.
Su Mo’s sword had cleaved it completely in two from the middle, severing the old man and the skinned giant python’s spines, ensuring it could no longer cause trouble!
