Chapter 13: Breaking Through Martial General Peak, Grandmaster Realm!
Su Mo turned back and smiled at Little Brother:
“No harm done!”
He was now immune to all poisons, so he naturally wouldn’t fear the blood poison corpse qi on the blood corpse, let alone the pill poison corpse qi on this blood corpse pill.
After speaking, Su Mo directly put the blood corpse pill into his mouth.
Boom!
As the blood corpse pill entered his body, a booming sound suddenly exploded deep within Su Mo’s soul and body.
A majestic blood qi rapidly broke through several acupoints in Su Mo’s body, like crumbling dry weeds and rotten wood!
In just a few seconds, he broke through several more meridians!
At this moment, the surging power in Su Mo’s body flowed endlessly like great rivers, and the aura it brought was thick, distant, vigorous, and powerful.
With every raise of hand or foot, the force and aura produced were endless!
“You have broken through the peak of martial general and reached the martial grandmaster realm!”
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Su Mo couldn’t help but feel another surge of joy in his heart.
He hadn’t expected the power of this blood corpse pill to be so majestic, completely different from the previous black zombie pill and white corpse puppet corpse pill.
Just upon entering his mouth, it turned into majestic power, instantly breaking through the shackles at the peak martial general bottleneck, directly impacting and breaking through the martial general peak, allowing him to reach the martial grandmaster realm!
Su Mo had long known that above martial artist, there were warrior, martial general, grandmaster, great grandmaster, martial saint, mortal shedding, human immortal, see god not bad—nine realms!
He had gained heaven-defying comprehension at Guazi Temple, and only half a month later broke through the martial artist realm. Now, just arriving at Lu Wang Palace, he had consecutively broken through warrior, martial general, and grandmaster realms in two days!
The speed of his progress made even him click his tongue in amazement!
If they delved deeper into Lu Wang Palace, there would likely be even greater gains and progress. Reaching human martial saint, or even mortal shedding to become immortal or see god not bad, would absolutely not be a pipe dream!
Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
Over here, although Little Brother and the others couldn’t see Su Mo’s progress, they could sense that in just a short two minutes, there seemed to be some changes in Su Mo’s body.
They couldn’t say exactly what changes, but they felt that Su Mo now had an additional aura of vast thickness like a mountain range. Standing there motionless, he already exuded majesty without anger.
This aura made ordinary martial artists like Da Kui and Pan Zi, who were retired soldiers, feel a chill in their hearts.
And although Uncle Wu San and Wu Tianzhen were not martial artists, they too could feel the powerful oppressive aura from Su Mo.
“Master Su seems even stronger now!”
“Yeah, even though he’s not moving, his body seems to have a huge pressure that one can feel!”
“This… is it from the blood corpse pill?”
Although Da Kui, Pan Zi, and Wu Tianzhen didn’t fully understand, they vaguely guessed it was the change brought by the blood corpse pill.
But Uncle Wu San was even more shocked.
No wonder the Banshan Daoist, despite countless mountain moving tomb raiding, never touched the treasures of gold and silver in tomb chambers, only seeking the pills or cultivation secret techniques within!
Just look, Master Su had only slain three zombies, and after swallowing the corpse pills obtained, the resulting changes were already this formidable.
If he could truly obtain more fortunes in the tomb chamber, for this Master Su, achieving immortality might not be a fantasy!
If one could truly achieve the dao, what were gold and silver treasures worth!
Thinking of this, the look in Uncle Wu San’s eyes toward Su Mo couldn’t help but gain a few more points of reverence. He felt that although Su Mo appeared about the same age as Wu Tianzhen, this man was profound and unfathomable, with divine and marvelous methods—a true wondrous person of the world!
And as Little Brother looked at Su Mo now, his eyes held even more admiration, doubt, and complex expressions.
He knew he was no match for the blood corpse in this stone coffin, so after using corpse language to pray, he had intended to retreat and avoid it.
Who would have thought Su Mo was completely unafraid, instead directly slaying it with the Frost Moon Sword.
This ability was far beyond his own by an unknown margin!
When they first met Su Mo, Little Brother had doubts about him, feeling his identity was quite suspicious.
But now it seemed that Master Su was not only a genuine Banshan Daoist, but even among the Banshan Lineage, he was an elusive top figure like a dragon seen only by its head!
Everyone looked at Su Mo with eyes full of awe.
After swallowing the blood corpse pill, Su Mo wiped the sword edge of the Frost Moon Sword clean and sheathed it behind his back, then gave everyone a faint smile:
“Let’s go!”
Uncle Wu San and the others quickly agreed and followed Su Mo forward, now implicitly regarding him as the leader of the team.
When Su Mo first joined the team, not to mention Little Brother—even Da Kui, Pan Zi, and Wu Tianzhen had some doubts about him. It was only after Uncle Wu San saw Su Mo’s Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper that he agreed to let him join.
But ever since Su Mo entered the waterway, he had consecutively displayed his extraordinary abilities, gradually earning more trust and admiration from Uncle Wu San and the others, to the point where they unconsciously regarded him as the soul of the team.
Actually, human nature is to admire the strong, regardless of gender.
If Su Mo’s abilities were inferior to even Da Kui and Pan Zi’s, he would probably only be sidelined by now.
But after he consecutively displayed his methods, even a seasoned veteran like Uncle Wu San admired him from the heart and wouldn’t dare disobey his words in the slightest!
The group quickly left the tomb chamber and moved forward, where there was a relatively narrow tomb passage ahead.
After passing through the tomb passage, there was another corridor with no burial objects along it, just a very winding path.
Walking forward along the corridor for over ten meters, they saw a giant jade stone door at the end of the corridor. It looked crystal clear and translucent, with two hungry ghosts carved on the doorframe—one holding a ghost claw, the other holding a seal—both ferocious, vicious, and pitch black all over.
Pan Zi and Da Kui became uncontrollably excited upon seeing the jade door:
“Good grief, this jade door must be worth a fortune!”
“If we haul this out, we could at least exchange it for a few houses!”
Seeing them like this, Uncle Wu San rolled his eyes in anger:
“This jade door weighs over a thousand pounds. If you have the ability, carry it out and sell it!”
Rebuked, Pan Zi and Da Kui felt awkward and fell silent, using crowbars to pry open the jade door before pushing it open and entering.
Just as they entered, Pan Zi let out another exclamation:
“This… there’s a dead body!”
Hearing him shouting again, Uncle Wu San’s face turned green with anger:
“Can you stop embarrassing yourself? Which tomb doesn’t have dead bodies!”
“No, Third Master…”
Pan Zi looked panicked, pointing to the ground beside the coffin ahead:
“It’s… a foreigner who looks like he just died not long ago!”
Everyone looked where he pointed and saw, among the several coffins in the tomb chamber, two foreigners in mountaineering gear lying horizontally. The corpses appeared to have died not long ago, their faces full of terror and pain, with no visible wounds on the surface—as if they had been scared to death alive!
“This…”
Wu Tianzhen couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath:
“These two couldn’t have been scared to death by things in the tomb, right?”
Uncle Wu San shook his head:
“We’re all here for tomb exploration—who’s that timid? How could they be scared to death…”
Da Kui’s face had turned pale:
“Hard to say, Third Master. Maybe there’s something even more terrifying in this tomb!”
As soon as he said this, he suddenly caught sight of a shadowy figure.
That shadowy figure was pitch black all over, silently appearing beside the coffin. Its head was extraordinarily huge, just like the legendary big head ghost, with a pair of small eyes on the massive head, sneakily watching everyone!
Da Kui immediately let out a scream of fright.
“There’s a ghost!”
