《I Have A Demon God Simulator》 Chapter 1: Death System Chapter 1: Death System Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ¡°So, I transmigrated after I died? ¡°Is this the waiting room or something?¡± Su Mu gazed down at his translucent body, and then at the white space around him. He could not help but be awestruck. This scene was truly somewhat magical. However, as a modern youth who had been exposed to his share of good CGI and inte culture, Su Mu quickly epted the current situation. This was a reincarnation system, and he was going to get reborn into a good family! ¡°System, are you there?¡± Su Mu muttered in his heart. Sure enough, in the next second, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind. ¡°Hello, host. The System will now attend to you¡­¡± Indeed, the protagonist¡¯s halo he had been expecting appeared. However, before it could finish its sentence, a blue screen of death blotted it out. It made a sound that only a broken machine would make! Su Mu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He fell speechless. ¡°No way? Is the protagonist¡¯s system crashing? ¡°This is uneptable. I want to file aint, aint!¡± Fortunately, after Su Mu protested to the air a few more times, the system seemed to return to normal and the mechanical voice sounded again. ¡°The host¡¯s world is extremely dangerous! ¡°In order to serve you better, the System will be automatically upgraded to a Death System, which will allow you to have a better death experience!¡± ¡­ ¡°What? A Death System?¡± Su Mu couldn¡¯t believe his ears. Why did he feel that there something was going very wrong? A Death System? A better experience of death? What¡¯s the use of having a good death experience?! Su Mu had just died once, and he didn¡¯t want to die again. No matter what he felt about it, his transmigration was not going to wait around! ¡°The first rebirth is about to begin. ¡°Please allocate your base attribute points and choose your initial talent within 3 minutes. ¡°If iplete within the allotted time. Randomly assigned and selected.¡± The mechanical voice sounded again. At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of Su Mu. [Host: Su Mu] [Unassigned base attribute points: 10] [Physique: ?] [Intelligence: ?] [Vitality: ?] ¡­ When he saw that he only had three minutes, Su Mu stopped hesitating and decided to allocate his attribute points first. But he knew nothing about the world he was about to be reborn in, nor did he know which would be the best choices. After thinking about it, Su Mu decided to increase his [physique] and [intelligence]. As the saying goes, ¡°I control my fate, not the heavens!¡± As long as one¡¯s ability was strong enough, one could defy the heavens and change one¡¯s fate! With this thought in mind, Su Mu quickly allocated his 10 basic attribute points. [Host: Su Mu] [Unassigned base attribute points: 0]] [Physique: 5] [Intelligence: 4] [Vitality: 1] ¡°Basic attribute points have been allocated. The corresponding dungeon has been created. ¡°Please choose three initial talents.¡± Along with the simtor¡¯s notification, 10 grey talents appeared in front of Su Mu. He nced at them and realized that traits of these talents were all very strange and evil! [Rot Retardation: Corpse rots at a slower rate] [Premature Death: Mortality rate greatly increases before the age of 3] [Heaven¡¯s Scorn: Randomlycking a certain organ at birth] [Resentment: The pain of death will be amplified by 10 times] [Taiyin: Fate of the great Yin, easily attracting ghosts and evil spirits] [Feast: Flesh and blood are extremely delicious and unforgettable] [Nirvana: Life shortened to 30 years old, able to reach Nirvana early] [Happy Funeral: If you die after 100 years old, you will be rewarded with 1 basic attribute point] [Good Fortune: Bad luck before the age of 80, good luck after the age of 80] [Rest In Peace: Dies instantly when mortally wounded, quick and painless] ¡­ ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Su Mu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. None of the ten talents were decent. It seemed to be some sort of supernatural, magical world! The more painful the death, the more delicious the torment, the earlier the death, and the easier it was to attract ghosts. What the hell is this?! Were these so-called talents? Su Mu really wanted to ask if he could ask for a refund. He wanted to be the other type of protagonist! Seeing that the three minutes were about to be up, Su Mu helplessly chose three talents that looked rtively harmless. [Rot Retardation: Corpse rots at a slower rate] [Feast: Flesh and blood are extremely delicious and unforgettable] [Rest In Peace: Dies instantly when mortally wounded, quick and painless] At least, these three talents would not cause Su Mu too much trouble while he was still alive. After he had made his choice, Su Mu¡¯s first life in another world began! [Simtion begins!] [Host: Su Mu] [Physique: 5] [Intelligence: 4] [Vitality: 1] [Talents: Rot Retardation, Feast, Rest In Peace] As the virtual panel lit up and then faded, Su Mu¡¯s consciousness fell into darkness. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù Da Qian, Tianqi, Year 12. In a remote mountain vige in Jizhou, a baby named Su Mu was born. Three yearster, his mother died of illness. Two yearster, her father died of illness. At the age of five, Su Mu had be an orphan. In order to bury his father, he had sold thest bit ofnd in the family. Other than an empty and broken mud house, Su Mu had nothing! ¡°Is this what it¡¯s going to be like?¡± At his parents¡¯ grave, Su Mu sighed helplessly. If this was an ordinary five-year-old child, he would have no rtives or family, and he would only have four walls barely standing around him. That would basically be a dead end. But Su Mu was, after all, a reincarnated man. After burying his father, he began his own path of survival. While relying on his clever mouth and acting cute, he begged for alms everywhere in the vige and barely managed to keep his stomach filled. At the very least, he was not starving to death. There were so many hardships that he didn¡¯t even know where to start. ¡­ However, Su Mu had underestimated the power of fate. In the 20th year of the Tianqi era, Jizhou experienced a drought, causing a Great Famine! Like avnches and huge waves, the disaster victims swarmed to other ces. In less than a month, the disaster victims had exceeded a million! Su Mu, who was only 8 years old, was one of the earliest. Even with his knowledge of the modern world, Su Mu was helplessly swept up by the torrent of fate and became a member of the disaster victims. Now, he truly knew of the danger and horror of this world! He had also witnessed the horror of famine! In the early stages of the famine, wherever the starving people went, tree bark would be gnawed off, grass seeds would be peeled off, and wild beasts would retreat. Even the tigers and wolves did not dare to approach the starving, desperate victims! Some of the wealthy families andndlords who had stored grain were also robbed clean. However, that little bit of grain was not enough. Soon, more and more people were dying of hunger. The disaster victims who managed to survive were all as thin as firewood, their faces haggard. They were like walking dead, dragging their half-dead bodies as they walked on this drynd. At this point, the wild beasts were no longer afraid of the disaster victims. Nine out of ten victims of the disaster who were left alone had be food for the wild beasts. Even the wild dogs started to eat people! More than half of the Jizhou had been turned into hell! And Su Mu was one of those who was struggling in this hell. Chapter 2: An Exotic Fragrance In The Midst Of A Famine Chapter 2: An Exotic Fragrance In The Midst Of A Famine Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Among the disaster victims, a diminutive figure stood out. In this world, the number of orphans who could survive was extremely little. With a famine added on to their circumstances, the difficulty level would be substantiallypounded! In the crowd, Su Mu was the only child who had no family or friends to call his own. Only a miracle could exin his survival until now. Even so, he was already close to his limit! It had been four days since Su Must ate. Some others had been starving for a longer time than him, but he was still a child, after all. After not eating a single grain of rice for four days, Su Mu was lethargic, and his limbs were listless. At most, he could onlyst another day without food. Death was silently approaching! ¡°Did I reincarnate here to starve to death on the streets?¡± Su Mu was indignant about the whole thing, but he was powerless. He was just a withered, rolled-up leaf in this famine, waiting to be swallowed by the waves at any time. ¡­ The night began to fall. Su Mu slumped weakly beside a tree stump, his consciousness starting to blur. He could not tell if he was falling asleep, or if he was cking out. While he remained in a daze, a figure sneakily walked towards him. ¡°Little Su, little Su, wake up!¡± The man was starving like he was, but his skeletal frame still stood head and shoulders above others. The frame of this man reflected this man¡¯s past strength. ¡°Who is it? Uncle Li? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Su Mu looked at the person and immediately recognized him. Li Tiezhu, a cksmith from the same vige as Su Mu. His son, Li Lei, was the same age as Su Mu, and they were rather close friends. Most importantly, over the three years after his parents¡¯ deaths, half of Su Mu¡¯s food was provided by Li Tiezhu. Su Mu had grown to regard this man highly. Li Tiezhu looked around vigntly. After making sure no one was paying attention to them, he whispered to Su Mu, ¡°Little Su, I have food here. Come with me. Don¡¯t make a sound!¡± Su Mu¡¯s eyes lit up. With what little strength he had left, he got up and followed Li Tiezhu. ¡­ Under the cover of the night, the two of them walked out of the crowd and walked into the distance through a forest of dead trees. ¡°Uncle Li, what did you find?¡± When he heard that there was food, Su Mu, who was extremely hungry, thought little about it. Now that he had calmed down, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. ¡°It¡¯s a deer. I caught a deer. ¡± Li Tiezhu breezed over his words, stealing nces at Su Mu, as if afraid that he would fall behind. ¡°Deer? Uncle Li, you know how to hunt? But how did you manage to hunt a deer without a bow or a trap?¡± Su Mu¡¯s breath caught in his throat. Something was wrong! After the famine, animals that were easy to hunt and catch had long been caught. The rest of the animals were either predators or illusive. Li Tiezhu, a cksmith, caught a wild deer with his bare hands? What kind of joke was this? ¡°Hehe, I just got lucky.¡± When Li Tiezhu quickly fell silent after the weak excuse, Su Mu¡¯s heart sank to the bottom. He raised his head and nced at Li Tiezhu. The man¡¯s cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and a pair of green eyes were staring at him. He looked like a fierce ghost! What was even more terrifying were those strange, brutal, and crazy eyes, which didn¡¯t seem to belong to a human. At that point, Li Tiezhu no longer intended to hide his true nature. ¡­ Su Mu knew that he was in trouble. He took a few deep breaths and suddenly had an idea. Su Mu acted as if nothing had happened and asked Li Tiezhu, ¡°By the way, Uncle Li, why don¡¯t I see Rock?¡± Rock was Li Lei¡¯s nickname. ¡°Rock, eating, eating.¡± ¡°Do you see that broken down temple in front? He¡¯s waiting for you inside.¡± Li Tiezhu pointed at a dpidated temple two to three hundred meters ahead, his voice turning gloomy. He was no longer keeping it together! Su Mu pretended not to notice it. He lowered his head and sighed, saying, ¡°If only Juan Zi was still here. With this deer, she wouldn¡¯t have starved to death.¡± Li Tiezhu¡¯s wife had left thest bit of food for her husband and son, and her health had always been poor. Not long after she fled, she died of hunger and cold. Li Tiezhu¡¯s eyes narrowed, and his sinister and strange expression revealed a hint of guilt and pain. However, before he could think further, Su Mu suddenly pointed to his side and shouted in horror, ¡°Monster! Watch out!¡± ¡°What?¡± Su Mu¡¯s shout startled Li Tiezhu. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned his head to look. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Mu sprinted madly and plunged into the dead forest. There¡¯s something wrong with this Li Tiezhu. If he went along with his ns, it would be dangerous! ¡°You brat, you dare to trick me!¡± Li Tiezhu, who saw nothing, immediately reacted. He cursed and hurriedly chased after him. Relying on his small size, Su Mu zipped through the forest, trying to shake off Li Tiezhu. However, he was only eight years old, after all, and he had been starving for three to four days. How could he outrun a man? Although he had tried his best, Su Mu was still caught by Li Tiezhu after running for a quarter of an hour. ¡°Brat, let¡¯s see where you¡¯re going to run to this time!¡± Li Tiezhu¡¯s rough hands were like iron pincers. One of them grabbed Su Mu¡¯s neck, while the other pinned his hands behind his back. Su Mu was unable to move in the slightest. Like a little chick, he was carried by Li Tiezhu to the ruined temple not far away. Along the way, no matter what Su Mu said, Li Tiezhu ignored him. Su Mu was starting to feel desperate. ¡­ As he neared the ruined temple, Su Mu smelled a faint fragrance of meat. He almost started drooling, and his hunger attacked relentlessly. But Su Mu had already guessed what kind of meat it was. A wave of disgust spread through his entire body! The nausea made him want to throw up, but there was nothing in his stomach, so he could only dry heave. Li Tiezhu paid no notice and walked briskly into the ruined temple with him. The temple was very small. There was only an earthen statue that was half the height of a person sitting in the middle. It flickered in the moonlight. The statue was severely damaged, and it was impossible to see which deity it represented. Four men loitered in the small space. There was a big pot in the middle with a fire under it, and soup was boiling inside. As the soup boiled, bones could be seen floating up and down. The flesh and blood on it had been gnawed clean, but they still could not bear to discard the bones. They could probably break the bones and eat the bone marrow. It would be a short, few blissful moments. But Su Mu knew all too well that they were not beast bones! They were Rock¡¯s bones¡­ Chapter 3: The First Deathcarnation — Skeleton Child Chapter 3: The First Deathcarnation ¡ª Skeleton Child Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ¡°I¡¯ve finally caught another. I¡¯m so hungry, I¡¯m so hungry!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, hurry up! I¡¯m starving!¡± ¡°Yes, hurry up. Everyone¡¯s hungry!¡± The four emaciated men had crazed expressions on their faces, as if they were malicious ghosts. When they saw Su Mu in Li Tiezhu¡¯s hand, they couldn¡¯t help but urge him. Their turbid eyes were filled with an almost manic desire! In the light of the fire, the four twisted faces flickered, more terrifyingly than demons! Or rather, they were already demons! ¡­ Su Mu felt his entire body freezing up! He had already guessed his fate. Even though he could not suppress the fear in his heart, he still made a final attempt. ¡°Uncle Li, you¡¯ve watched me grow up! Do you have the heart to do this?¡± Su Mu, who was being held by the scruff of his neck, couldn¡¯t move. He couldn¡¯t turn his head to look at Li Tiezhu, and could only shout desperately. The next moment, a voice that was so calm that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end came. ¡°Little Su, I¡¯ve provided you with so much food after your parents passed away. I¡¯ve raised you, right? ¡°If you raise chickens, you eat chickens. What¡¯s wrong with that? ¡°Today, it¡¯s time for you to repay me. ¡°Oh right, do keep goodpany of Rock.¡± After saying that, Li Tiezhu quickly walked toward the pot. The bubbling soup was agonizingly hot, but it did nothing to his freezing blood! ¡°Uncle! Wait, wait! I, I have a stomachache, I¡¯m going to have a diarrhea.¡± ¡°Wait for me to finish pooping, don¡¯t let me spoil this pot of good soup. I¡­¡± ¡°Swish!¡± Before Su Mu could finish his words, a thick, blood-stained sickle was thrust into his neck. The skill [Rest In Peace] was activated after the fatal injury. In an instant, Su Mu died, and his consciousness fell into darkness. Su Mu let out a string of curses in the absolute darkness. His life had been too miserable. He lost his mother at three, and his father at five. He barely lived to eight by begging. In the end, he encountered a drought and famine! The scene of starving people on the ground was like hell! The most terrifying thing was that this disaster not only destroyed the physical body, but also the spirit! The once-kind cksmith had turned into a half-human, half-demon monster. He didn¡¯t even let go of his own son, let alone Su Mu. Fortunately, it was a painless death. He didn¡¯t know if this was the only silver lining in his tragic life. ¡­ Eight bitter years turned into scenes of memories that shed through Su Mu¡¯s mind. But very quickly, Su Mu realized that something was wrong. Shouldn¡¯t they return to the white space after death? Why was there no movement? Just as Su Mu was feeling puzzled, he suddenly recovered his hearing and once again received sounds from the outside world. It was the ravings of a mad demon. ¡°Fragrant! It¡¯s too fragrant!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t snatch, don¡¯t snatch! They¡¯re all mine!¡± ¡°Give him to me, I caught him, give him to me!¡± ¡°F*ck your mother, bring it over! Don¡¯t force me to do it!¡± Hearing these voices, Su Mu had mixed feelings. He didn¡¯t expect that under the effect of [Feast], this group of people would start fighting over it. At the same time, he couldn¡¯t understand why he could hear the voices of the outside world again. But more than that, it was disgusting! He was disgusted! It turned people into raving beasts. If he had the ability, Su Mu only wanted to erase all these things from the world! ¡­ The fighting did not die down, but only grew in intensity. ¡°I caught him! I raised him! Hurry up and give it to me!¡± ¡°Let go! Let go! Go to hell!¡± Along with a curse, Su Mu heard a heavy and loud thud. It sounded like someone had been struck hard. Immediately after, the soup sshed with vigor. Yet another person had fallen into this human soup. It was silent. Deathly silent! The ruined temple fell silent. Shouting, chewing, and swallowing. They all disappeared. All that was left was the sound of rapid breathing. But soon, the chewing resumed. And it was even more urgent than before! ¡­ Su Mu¡¯s heart turned cold. He knew that someone else had died. The soup had been topped up. From the previous conversation, this person should be Li Tiezhu ¡­ For some reason, Su Mu¡¯s heart was filled with a surge of anger and killing intent! These negative emotions were like mes springing up. It was turning into a personal hell! The next moment, a faint light broke through the darkness in Su Mu¡¯s vision. His vision returned! Under the night sky, the dpidated temple was like a devil¡¯s den. The four skinny men were gnawing on some flesh like wild dogs. They spread out and looked at theirpanions vigntly from time to time. In the middle of the ruined temple. The old and broken y statue looked down at them with its remaining eye. It was as if he was silently watching all of this. Indistinctly, its eyelid seemed to tremble. However, the four people in the ruined temple didn¡¯t notice it at all. They continued to gnaw madly, throwing down bones one after another. They didn¡¯t even notice that some of the discarded bones were slowly moving! They pieced together and turned into a small skeleton that was half the height of a man. It started cking away. This time, the four of them finally noticed something strange. ¡°Ah! Ghost! A ghost!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t kill me. I did not eat much, I ate the least. Don¡¯t kill me!¡± ¡°Bodhisattva, save me! Quickly, take this damn thing away!¡± The four evil men no longer looked dangerous or domineering. They were scared witless. Some of them kneeled on the ground and begged the little skeleton for mercy. Some kneeled down in front of the old statues and prayed to the gods. Some people leaned against the wall and shivered. They nced at the exit behind the little skeleton, thinking about how to escape. No matter what they did, they were extremely terrified! These country bumpkins were always in awe of ghosts and gods. The very bones they had feasted on moments ago was standing before them. How could they not be afraid? What they didn¡¯t know was that Su Mu, who had turned into a skeleton, was nowhere as powerful as it seemed! For some unknown reason, he, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly gained a wave of power. With the help of this power, Su Mu controlled his bones and pieced them together, forming a small skeleton. However, that was all. Su Mu knew instinctively that this skeleton was extremely fragile, and could be blown down by a gust of wind. As the four men looked on in terror, Su Mu carefully took his first step. ¡­ When they saw the skeleton child approaching them, the four of them were even more frightened. One of them even wet his pants, and his eyes were unfocused. But the next moment, ¡°Whoosh!¡± As soon as Su Mu¡¯s foot touched the ground, his body fell apart under the impact of the recoil. ¡°I¡­¡± The speechless Su Mu didn¡¯t even have the time toin before his consciousness was banished from this world. The next second, he returned to the inceptive space. Thest scene he remembered was the four of them looking at a pile of bones with dumbfounded expressions¡­ Chapter 4: Second Attempt, Rapid Growth Chapter 4: Second Attempt, Rapid Growth Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion [This simtion has ended.] [Rating: G] [Dungeonpletion: 11%] [umted points: 1] [Comment: You only lived a mere 8 years and you achieved nothing. You had some usefulness in filling the stomachs of human scum.] The long-lost mechanical voice rang in Su Mu¡¯s ears. However, he was still immersed in the pain of his previous life. One would never know how terrifying famine was without experiencing it for themselves! When people were driven mad by hunger, they ate each other. Li Tiezhu and the others were no exceptions. It would not be a surprise to know that the entire human race was going to cannibalize itself to extinction! In such a hell, it might not be a bad thing to die early. ¡­ ¡°Hu!¡± After letting out a long sigh of relief, Su Mu calmed down and began to review his experiences in his previous life. Everything else was fine, other than his short-lived reanimation. Some supernatural forces had turned him into a little skeleton. As fragile as that body had been, he was still a supernatural existence for a time. This meant that death was not the end! Su Mu had already vaguely guessed how this Death System worked, and all he needed to do now was to verify his guess. However, before entering the instance dungeon for the second time, Su Mu needed to make some preparations. First of all¡­ After obtaining 1 point, the system¡¯s store was activated. All sorts of strange things were sold there. There were tools, talents, and some other things that Su Mu couldn¡¯t understand at the moment. However, 1 point was too little and he couldn¡¯t buy anything. After searching for a while, Su Mu spent 1 point to buy a booklet on skeleton-type monsters. ¡°I hope I can get some information from it.¡± With this thought in mind, Su Mu opened the booklet. After flipping it open, the first thing he saw was the introduction. ¡°The Dao is divided into Yin and Yang. Humans are Yang, and ghosts are Yin. Life is Yang, death is Yin. ¡°The transformation of Yin and Yang is will of the Heavenly Dao.¡± Su Mu mumbled to himself, not fully understanding. He continued to read the main text. The first ghost recorded in this small book was called the ¡°bone child.¡± ¡°Bone child: a little skeleton formed after the death of a child. It is mischievous and does little harm.¡± After looking at the bone child¡¯s brief introduction, Su Mu was certain that this was thest thing he had transformed into in his previous life! What¡¯s with the ¡®mischievous¡¯ part? He was just too weak. He could not even take a single step without falling apart. Su Mu guessed that the bone child he had transformed into was notplete, or was highly deficient. But as the saying went, ¡°no use crying over spilled milk.¡± He had been too inexperienced at dying. Perhaps he should try dying a few more times. Su Mu believed that he would be able to gain some experience and evolve into a more powerful demon! Perhaps this was the function of the death system. ¡­ Su Mu had originally wanted to flip to the back to see other skeleton-type demons. That was when he learned of the con. It costs one point per page! If he wanted to continue reading, he would have to give more points. The impoverished and dejected Su Mu cursed the system. After that, he organized his thoughts and prepared to enter the next life! ¡­ After the basic attribute points were distributed, his next life immediately started. Therefore, there was no way to change the basic attribute points. Fortunately, his skills could be re-selected. Su Mu felt that the three talents he had chosen in his previous life seemedpletely pointless. This time, they might as well change all of them! After eliminating those three, there were only seven talents left. He also put [Good Fortune] and [Happy Funeral] aside. Su Mu couldn¡¯t even live past the age of eight, let alone eighty or a hundred. Therefore, these two skills werepletely useless. With that, only [Premature Death], [Heaven¡¯s Scorn], [Nirvana], [Resentment], and [Taiyin] were left. After thinking for a while, Su Mu made his choice. First, he chose [Nirvana]. If he couldn¡¯t live past 30, so be it. He wouldn¡¯t even live past eight years old, anyway. Then, Su Mu chose [Taiyin]. This skill would make it easier for him to attract evil spirits. Su Mu believed that the bone child he had transformed into was severelycking in Yin energy, hence the hrious level of weakness. If he chose this talent, it might make him a more powerful being after death! As for thest skill, Su Mu was at a loss. He felt that all of them were hidden traps. Helplessly, he could only add [Happy Funeral], which he had excluded from the start. At the very least, this talent would not trick him. After choosing his three talents, Su Mu started his second life! [Simtion begins!] [Host: Su Mu] [Physique: 5] [Intelligence: 4] [Vitality: 1] [Talents: Nirvana, Taiyin, Happy Funeral] ¡­ As the virtual panel in front of him faded away, Su Mu¡¯s consciousness fell into darkness. He was once again born in that small vige. But this time, his life had undergone a huge change! Not long after he was born, Su Mu found something unusual. In this life, his appetite was frighteningly huge! Correspondingly, his growth rate was several times that of ordinary people. When he was three years old, Su Mu was already as tall as his mother. Then, his mother died of illness. When he was five years old, Su Mu¡¯s height caught up to his father¡¯s. And then¡­ His father died of illness. Su Mu¡¯s fate had not changed. At the age of five, he became an orphan again. The only difference was that in this life, Su Mu, who was only 5 years old, was already as tall as a short adult! He finally understood the use of the [Nirvana] talent. At the cost of his lifespan, he was going to experience elerated growth. Dying before the age of 30 would be inevitable. Under normal circumstances, this skill would not be of much use. On the contrary, it would be a huge trap. But to Su Mu, it was a divine skill! He was destined to be orphaned by the age of five and needed to survive alone. Three years after struggling as an orphan, a terrible famine awaited him. In such a disaster, the chances of survival for adults were many times higher than that of children! With the talent [Nirvana], Su Mu finally saw the hope of survival! However, this talent also brought him trouble. What Su Mu needed to do now was to eat his fill and survive. In his previous life, he had acted cute and pitiful in order to get some food from the other vigers. But in this life, Su Mu¡¯s growth was so fast that it was almost demonic. There was another strange coincidence. When he grew to his mother¡¯s height, his mother died. When he grew to his father¡¯s height, his father died. As a result, Su Mu became an ominous person in the eyes of the vigers. None of the vigers were willing to give him food, and some even wanted to drive him out of the vige! But how could Su Mu, who had just died a violent death, starve to death? Or even be driven out to wait for death? You won¡¯t give it? Alright! I¡¯ll get it myself! Chapter 5: Is This What You Call An Eight-Year-Old? Chapter 5: Is This What You Call An Eight-Year-Old? Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In order to bury his parents, Su Mu sold thest bit ofnd in his family. The vigers saw him as an ominous individual and could not wait to drive him out of the vige. Just like that, Su Mu¡¯s normal way of survival waspletely cut off, and he couldn¡¯t even exert his strength. However, he had just died a violent death. How could he die in such a cowardly way? If he couldn¡¯t get food through conventional means, then he would use unconventional means! The 5 points of Physique were not just for show. Apart from his rapid growth, Su Mu was also physically superior to the average man. ording to his observation, the Physique of an ordinary viger was about 3 points. Therefore, three to five ordinary adults were not his match at all. In order to survive, Su Mu raised his fist. From then on, the vige gained a new tyrant! Even the surrounding viges took some swiping blows. Fortunately, this vige tyrant did not ask for much. As long as he could eat his fill, he did not trouble the vigers with anything unnecessary. However, his reputation as a ¡°monster,¡± ¡°omen of his parents,¡± and ¡°vige ruffian¡± was only gaining a stronger foothold. The vigers basically turned around and ran when they saw him. ¡­ Another two years passed. Su Mu stood at seven feet and five inches, which was about 1.8 meters. Not only was he taller than most adults, but his body was also extremely robust and full of strength! Su Mu had thought of escaping from Jizhou, away from the famine. However, the Great Qian Dynasty restricted the movement of people. Resignedly, Su Mu could only continue to stay in the vige. In order to prepare for the uing great famine, Su Mu had secretly stored some dry food. But he could only do so much alone, much lessy im to a mountain of food. Not to mention Su Mu, even the rich families in the nearby towns had been robbed clean after the famine. The only thing he could do was to wait for the famine toe. However, one day, Su Mu¡¯s life weed a turning point. ¡­ ¡°There are still eight months left.¡± Early in the morning, Su Mu, as usual, first calcted how much time was left before the famine. Then, he washed up and walked unsteadily to the neighboring vige. In the surrounding four to five viges, other than those who were in a more difficult situation, there were still five to six hundred households. Su Mu freeloaded for an entire day. In three years, this pewould end. He had also thought of helping others to work in exchange for some food. However, these ignorant vigers firmly believed that he was a walking dark omen. They would rather give him some free food than form any rtionships with him! Helplessly, Su Mu could only loiter about as the tyrant of the vige. It was Su Mu¡¯s second time visiting the restaurant he was going to today. He shouted from afar. ¡°Aunt Lu, have you prepared my meal for today? Hurry up and take it out!¡± The owner of the house was Lu Tiang, a small-timendlord. After Su Mu tidied up the farm hands under hismand, he had no more objections to this once-in-a-year free meal. But Su Mu did not expect this time to be different. A middle-aged man, who was seven feet tall and had a slightly pale face, walked out of the Lu n¡¯s residence. Lu Tiang was standing behind him. ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re injured now. Why don¡¯t we just forget about it? Anyway, it¡¯s just a matter of a few meals, so what if this kid gets a free meal?¡± Lu Tiang looked at his brother Lu Feng worriedly. ¡­ At first, Su Mu thought that Lu Tiang was here for revenge, but he realized that he was wrong after seeing this. However, Lu Tiang¡¯s brother did not give up. He looked at Su Mu in surprise and asked Lu Tiang, ¡°Ah Lang, how old did you say this kid was?¡± ¡°Eight years old, I guess.¡± ¡°Eight? He¡¯s eight years old?¡± ¡°He¡¯s really eight years old! This kid was very strange. He was as tall as his mother when he was three, and as tall as his father when he was five. Each time he caught up to their height, they died. Everyone in the surrounding viges knows about this.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk tsk! What an interesting little cretin!¡± Lu Feng¡¯s eyes glowed as he looked at Su Mu, as if he was sizing up some kind of treasure. Su Mu frowned and retorted, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯m only seven and a half years old. Now, where¡¯s the food I ordered?¡± Su Mu had sacrificed his lifespan and set 5 points into Physique to reach his current state. However, Lu Feng did not know this. He coughed a few times, took a deep breath and said to Su Mu, ¡°Kid, I¡¯ve heard about you. ¡°You lost your parents at the age of 5 and everyone hates you for it. It¡¯s understandable that you¡¯re begging for food to survive. ¡°But today, you¡¯vee to me, so I won¡¯t agree to it.¡± Su Mu looked at Lu Feng, who was a head shorter than him and seemed to be injured, and casually asked, ¡°What do you want to do? Fight me?¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Feng grinned and said, ¡°Hey! You¡¯re right, kid. ¡°I heard that despite your young age, you¡¯ve defeated all the surrounding vigers and are unrivaled. Today, I¡¯d like to see how much you¡¯re worth. I¡¯d like to see if you cane to my Lu family to ask for food.¡± After saying that, Lu Feng let out a roar and suddenly attacked. This Lu Feng looked sickly, but when he attacked, he was as fierce as a tiger and as swift as a fox. He crossed the distance of more than 20 meters in an instant and threw a punch at Su Mu¡¯s face. Su Mu, who didn¡¯t take him seriously before, readied up. He didn¡¯t have time to dodge, so he could only raise his arms. ¡°Bang!¡± With one punch, Su Mu was forced to retreat a dozen steps. He felt his arms go numb with pain. They seemed to have been fractured. ¡°Is that even a human?¡± Su Mu was shocked. This body of his was extremely powerful. Although he was not even eight years old, he could probably fight with the top grandmasters on earth. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to run amok in the vige. However, this middle-aged man, who was a head shorter than him, gave him a feeling that his whole body was falling apart with one punch. Moreover, this guy was injured. Was he still human? ¡­ On the other side, Lu Feng was also secretly shocked. Su Mu was just an ordinary person who had never cultivated before, but he was able to take a punch from him without falling. He was indeed gifted! The more Lu Feng looked at Su Mu, the more he liked him. However, he did not stop. He quickly caught up with Su Mu and threw another punch at him. He wanted to see what the limits of this child¡¯s body were. Against the most powerful enemy in history, Su Mu grew determined! Against this fast and heavy punch, Su Mu raised both his hands, as if he wanted to block it like before. However, just as Lu Feng¡¯s fist was about tond¡­ He immediately leaned to the side and bent his left arm to form a shield to protect his head, taking the punch head-on. A huge force ran through Su M¡¯s body. This time, not only was his left arm numb and painful, but his body was also shaken to the point that it almost fell apart. However, the tremendous force of this punch was transmitted to the right side of his body through the left side. ¡°I¡¯ll get you for that!¡± Su Mu roared in anger. He swung his right arm and threw a punch at Lu Feng. Lu Feng didn¡¯t expect Su Mu to be capable of retaliating, and the punchnded squarely on his chest. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell. His face seemed to have turned paler. Chapter 6: Martial Arts, First Kill Chapter 6: Martial Arts, First Kill Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Many things had happened, but in reality, it had only taken an instant. From Lu Feng¡¯s second punch to Su Mu¡¯s counterattack, only a single breath had passed. The people around them had not been able to follow. They only heard two bangs before the two of them separated. Su Mu fell to the ground. Lu Feng staggered a few steps back and started coughing violently. ¡­ Lu Tiang¡¯s expression changed, and he rushed forward. ¡°Big brother, big brother, are you alright?¡± Lu Feng waved his hand and said, ¡°No problem, no problem. There wasn¡¯t much time left anyway, so one more punch wouldn¡¯t make a difference. Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!¡± Although he said that, he coughed violently and took a long time to calm down. On the other side, Su Mu took advantage of this time to get up. He bared his teeth and looked at Lu Feng warily. This middle-aged man who seemed to be ill and injured was ridiculously strong! Su mu felt that he was no match for him and was already thinking about how to escape. However, Lu Feng, who had regained hisposure, said something that he had not expected. ¡°Kid, are you willing to take me as your master?¡± Su mu was stunned. After thinking for a while, he didn¡¯t answer directly, but asked, ¡°Why are you so strong? How could you be so fast? I¡¯ve never seen anyone like you.¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Feng raised his head andughed. ¡°Hahaha! You brat, at such a young age, not only are you strong, but you¡¯re also very smart. ¡°But in the end, you¡¯re still a child without much experience.¡± Afterughing, Lu Feng¡¯s face turned serious, and he said, ¡°This world is very big, so big that it¡¯s beyond your imagination! There are too many things that you can¡¯t understand. ¡°I¡¯m just a puny third rated warrior. ¡°To be more precise, I used to be.¡± Su Mu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He felt that he was finally going toe into contact with information of a higher level in this world! ¡°Martial artist? What is a martial artist?¡± Su Mu anxiously asked again. ¡°The so-called martial artists¡­ ¡± Lu Feng had already nned to take Su Mu as a disciple, so he answered him patiently. The people of this world were born with a breath of innate essence Qi, which was hidden in their meridians and blood. A martial artist was a person who obtained great power through continuous tempering and strengthening this innate Qi essence. For the sake of cultivation and killing, martial artists had created many cultivation methods and martial techniques. After developing to this day, the martial Dao had already flourished! However, there was still a high threshold to practice martial arts. If one wanted to get started, one had to have strong Qi and strong bones. This ensured a solid foundation. Su Mu had an extremely rare physique. Moreover, he¡¯s not even eight years old yet, and he was already so tall and big. His bones are truly amazing! This caused Lu Feng to believe that he had found a genius. Taking in a disciple could perhaps add a bit of color to his life that was about to end. ¡­ After understanding the existence of martial arts, Su Mu took Lu Feng as his master without any hesitation. He could eat and live for free, and he could also practice martial arts. Only a fool would not agree! Just like that, Su Mu joined the Lu family as the only disciple of Lu Feng. In truth, Lu Feng was not a martial arts expert. The Lu family¡¯s ancestor was a general, but nothing more came from that family. In order to regain the bloodline¡¯s former glory, Lu Feng joined the army when he was young. Unfortunately, his various abilities were limited. After twenty years, he only got so far. In terms of martial cultivation, he was only a third-rate warrior who had just entered the sect. Initially, Lu Feng had already vaguely touched the threshold of bing a second-rate warrior. But he got severely wounded during a mission! The thought of advancing be damned. He could not even retain his cultivation as a third rated warrior. Lu Feng¡¯s meridians and foundation had been maimed, and his injuries were difficult to treat. He could only return home in destion. After staying there for a while, he learned that his hometown had a ¡°young vige bully¡± like Su Mu, and he grew interested to know more. It could also be considered a gift from the heavens to him, who had no children. Although he was no longer in his peak state, he was still a third rated warrior. However, Lu Feng had been in the army for more than 20 years and had a wealth of fighting experience. He was more than enough to guide Su Mu. Other than the usual training of the body and strengthening of Qi, Lu Feng also taught Su Mu a set of fist techniques and a set of de techniques. The fist technique was the mountain quaking fist that was used in the military. This technique was bold and unrestrained, fierce and forceful, which was very suitable for Su Mu¡¯s size. The de technique was passed down in the Lu family. The Lu General hadprehended it on the battlefield. Therefore, his desmanship was simple and concise, but unusually fierce. Su Mu diligently trained as time passed. ¡­ For the next few months, more than half of Jizhou did not experience a single drop of rain and was abnormally dry. Lu Feng, who was already heavily injured, could not hold on any longer due to the strange weather. After teaching Su Mu for over four months, he passed away. In these four months, Lu Feng had tried his best to teach Su Mu his martial arts as well as pass down some of his experience in fighting. He had basically taught everything he could. Fortunately, Su Mu didn¡¯t let him down and absorbed all the knowledge like a sponge. His rapid progress aside, he had some talent of his own. This made Lu Feng leave the world with a smile on his face. In addition, the Lu family had also taken care of Su Mu¡¯s food to the extreme. Su Mu¡¯s appetite was originally about three times that of an ordinary person, and Lu Feng had even requested that every meal must be of the highest quality. The Lu family was not particrly prolific, so it burdened them significantly. As the head of the family, Lu Tiang was a little unhappy. After all, he did not even dare to eat so well himself. Su Mu ate enough to feed the entire family! However, under Lu Feng¡¯s strong urging, he could only follow along. This was his second life in this world. Lu Feng was the only one who treated Su Mu so well. After he passed away, Su Mu wore mourning clothes and mourned for him for three months. But trouble came. It was the famine! Even though he was mentally prepared, the arrival of this day was still as jarring. Late at night, Su Mu was lying on his bed and sleeping. Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside, mixed with a few screams. ¡°Is it finally here?¡± Su Mu rolled off the bed and quickly put on his clothes. He carried the ring-shaped de that the Lu family had made for him on his back. ¡­ At this moment, outside the Lu family¡¯s residence, a group of disaster victims in tattered clothes were madly charging at the door. ¡°Open the door and release the food. Open the door and release the food!¡± ¡°I¡¯m starving, open the door!¡± ¡°Everyone,e on! Break the door open and you¡¯ll get food!¡± ¡°These rich people caused us to have no food to eat. Rush in and rob them all! Kill them all!¡± In the midst of the howls, hundreds of disaster victims continuously charged at the courtyard gate like wild beasts. Although there were many heavy objects behind the door, it still could not stop the increasing number of disaster victims! ¡°BOOM!¡± Finally, with a loud bang, the gate of the courtyard copsed. The starving disaster victims outside the door rushed in like crazy. Several people fell during the process, but no one cared about them and stepped on them one after another. In the end, people were trampled to death! During a famine, it wasmon for the starving people to rob the rich andndlords. This terrifying situation had already scared away the few longtime workers that the Lu family had hired! Just as the Lu n¡¯s residence was about to be ransacked, a cold ray of light flew over. ¡°Woosh!¡± With the sound of air being torn apart, a few heads flew high into the air with blood spurting out! The few people who were charging at the front were beheaded with one strike! A momentter, the corpses shook and fell heavily to the ground! It was a terrifying scene. However, before the starving people could react, a thunderous roar exploded in the courtyard. ¡°Su Mu is here. Who dares to trespass?! ¡°Those who cross this line will die!¡± The starving people looked up in a daze. An eight-foot-tall, brawny man with a bloodied ring-shaped saber in his hand heavily drew a line of blood on the ground, sending out a series of sparks. The murderous and bloody aura hit them in their faces! Chapter 7: Fleeing To The Ruined Temple That No Longer Exists Chapter 7: Fleeing To The Ruined Temple That No Longer Exists Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Mu stood in front of the hundreds of starving people, releasing an intense killing intent! Not a single starving person took a step forward. Their faces were all full of fear. After acknowledging Lu Feng as his master, the Lu family had provided him with all the resources he needed to practice martial arts, including the necessities of food and water. The quality of his diet had multiplied tenfold. In addition, he practiced martial arts every day, so he was full of Qi and vigor. Now, Su Mu¡¯s had grown to eight feet, which was a little more than 1.9 meters. All eight feet of his frame was packed with muscle. Even if he stood there, still like a statue, he gave off a strong sense of oppression! It was like an iron tower! ¡­ Just like that, Su Mu alone with his de, temporarily intimidating the starving people. But it was only temporary. These people were starving. And more starving people wereing up from behind. Su Mu knew that when the number of starving people reached a certain level, they would ovee their fear of him. Therefore, beforeing here, Su Mu had already informed Lu Tiang to leave with his family through the back door. He had to bring some food, but not too much, or it would be too conspicuous. Su Mu was waiting for them to leave safely. ¡­ Time slowly passed. Be it for Su Mu or those starving people, every second was extremely torturous. Half an hourter, the Lu family¡¯s courtyard was filled with starving people. They squeezed forward bit by bit, pushing the people in front of them to continue moving forward. Everyone¡¯s emotions had already reached their peak! Finally, a spark ignited the barrel of gunpowder. ¡°He¡¯s alone. There are so many people here, how can he stop us all? Kill him, the food is right behind him!¡± This sentencepletely ignited the madness and desire in the hearts of all the starving people. ¡°Right, kill him! Kill him and we¡¯ll have our fill!¡± ¡°This boorish man is all alone, why should we be afraid of him?¡± ¡°These rich folk are the most despicable. I wonder how much they fed this man, look at his size!¡± ¡°Kill him! Kill him!¡± The crowd responded one after another. Many pairs of green eyes stared at him! He didn¡¯t know if the people behind the crowd had shoved the ones on the front, or if the ones on the front had finally lost their minds. The crowd began to quickly rush towards Su Mu, each of the starving people¡¯s haggard faces filled with madness. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± Sensing that the situation wasn¡¯t right, Su Mu shouted angrily and swung his de at them. The Lu family¡¯s saber techniques were bold and unrestrained, sweeping through the crowd like a meat grinder. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and dismembered limbs flew everywhere. After Lu Feng¡¯s death, there were still four people left in the Lu family. Lu Tiang and his wife, as well as their children. Su Mu was certain that not enough time had passed yet for them to have evacuated to a safe ce yet. Su Mu had to buy them a little more time. ¡­ Having practiced martial arts for more than half a year, Su Mu had almost entered the realm of a third rated warrior. It was easy to deal with these starving people who had not eaten for a few days. However, they came in sheer waves, and Su Mu could not kill all of them. Moreover, his goal was not to kill, but to buy as much time as possible. After a few minutes, Su Mu left behind dozens of corpses, jumped over the wall, and disappeared into the darkness. The Lu family¡¯s old mansion was about to reach the end of its life. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù Under a big tree at the back of the vige, a few figures were moving. One of them was pacing back and forth, clearly anxious and restless. ¡°Could something have happened to Su Mu? My brother asked me to take care of him before he died, so he can¡¯t die under my care!¡± Lu Tiang was a little anxious. ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. Su¡­ Little brother Su is strong and healthy, those starving people can¡¯t do anything to him.¡± Lu Tiang¡¯s eldest daughter was 14 years old this year, and she was very beautiful. She was the one who spoke in from the shadows. To be honest, Lu Qingqing did not even know how to address Su Mu. It was weird to call him a ¡°little brother¡± at that size and with that appearance. However, he was only eight years old. She couldn¡¯t possibly call him big brother, right? ¡°Father, sister is right. Brother Su¡¯s martial arts skills are so good that he can take care of those starving people like a farmer with a scythe in a paddy field.¡± Lu Tiang¡¯s second son was ten years old. After being together with Su Mu for half a year, he hadpletely submitted to him and had grown used to calling him big brother without any psychological burden. ¡°I hope so.¡± Their words made Lu Tiang feel a little more at ease. Sure enough, after a while, the four members of the Lu family saw a tall figure running towards them at high speed. Who else could it be but Su Mu? ¡°Are you all right?¡± Su Mu nced at the four of them, and after making sure that they were fine, he still asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine. What should we do now?¡± Although Su Mu was covered in blood, it was obvious that it was not his blood. Lu Tiang was relieved. He asked about his next n. It was not odd for Lu Tiang to seek advice from this eight-year-old kid. Su Mu looked like a wise adult, both mentally and physically. This made Lu Tiang forget about his age. ¡°This famine will only get worse! Let¡¯s escape. We¡¯ll talk after we get out of here.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡­ It was the same famine again, but this life was much better than the previous one. In this life, Su Mu had a strong body and possessed martial arts skills. Although he had yet to enter the ranks of third rated Warriors, he should be able to protect himself in the famine. He also brought some food from the Lu Family. If he ate sparingly, he should be able tost until they left Jizhou. Su Mu thought about it for a moment and believed that he wouldn¡¯t have to die a violent death in this life. He could live to thirty! Sure enough. Although the rest of the journey was difficult, it was generally smooth. Along the way, many people wanted to steal the food that Su Mu and his group had brought, but they were all cut down by his sabre. After all, he only brought some rations with him, so it wasn¡¯t enough to cause arge-scale robbery. At that moment, Lu Tiang could not help but feel that his big brother had made the right decision in taking in this disciple! Without Su Mu¡¯s protection, their family would not have been able to continue on so smoothly. ¡­ During the following month, the famine only worsened, and the number of starving people increased! Fortunately, Su Mu and Lu Tiang¡¯s family of four were still alive and well. However, he was a little thinner and his clothes were a lot more worn out. Even so, with all the other factors considered, they were far better off than others! Even so, Su Mu found one matter a little odd, and his heart was a little uneasy. A few days ago, he had walked through a withered forest and thought of that dpidated temple. So he went over to take a look, thinking that if he met Li Tiezhu and those people who ate him in his previous life, he would kill them all! At the same time, they could also save some people who were about to be their prey. But what Su Mu didn¡¯t expect was that the ruined temple had disappeared! No matter how hard Su Mu searched, he couldn¡¯t find any trace of it! But in his previous life, Su Mu was clearly eaten in that broken temple. How could he remember wrongly? Su Mu could not put the matter to the back of his mind, so he decided to try asking around. The people fleeing around them were too panicked to answer his questions. Helplessly, Su Mu could only suppress this matter in his heart. But after that, he had a strong premonition. It would not be easy to escape from Jizhou! Chapter 8: Slaying Ghosts Chapter 8: ying Ghosts Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A few dayster, the number of escaping refugees grew. The uneasiness in Su Mu¡¯s heart grew like a tumor. Especially in the middle of the night, he always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark. They stared at him until he felt a chill down his spine! However, as far as he could see, there were only starving people. There was nothing special in the darkness. This made Su Mu think of the talent he had, [Taiyin]. [Taiyin: Fate of the great Yin, easily attracting ghosts and evil spirits] In the past eight years, Su Mu had never encountered any of the supernatural, let alone evil spirits. After a few years, he had gradually forgotten about this skill. However, he was now reminded of it. It was a chaotic world of famine. Countless people had died, and wronged souls were everywhere. It seemed to make sense for some ghosts and monsters to appear. However, Su Mu had no idea how to deal with the incorporeal. He couldn¡¯t expect all the ghosts and demons to be like the little skeleton he had turned into in hisst life, falling apart after taking a single step, right? As he thought of this, Su Mu¡¯s heart sank. The road ahead would not be easy to walk! ¡­ That night, Lu Tiang and his family of four were asleep. Su Mu lit a bonfire and stood guard alone. The mes flickered and illuminated the area within a dozen meters. However, it waspletely dark in the distance. The ovepping shadows, coupled with the faint smell of meat in the air, made it hard for people to tell if the people lying on the ground were humans or ghosts. As he looked at it, Su Mu suddenly felt a little dazed. The fire in front of him gradually became illusionary, and he felt sleepy. Just as Su Mu was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt someone approaching him. Su Mu stirred and perked up. ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Su Mu shouted and turned around. At the same time, he pulled out his de and was ready to kill the enemy! ¡°Ah!¡± The man was shocked and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. Su Mu took a closer look. It was Lu Tiang¡¯s eldest daughter, Lu Qingqing. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Su Mu asked with a straight face. Lu Qingqingposed herself, then pouted angrily. ¡°It¡¯s because you looked sleepy and I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I wanted to cover you with a nket. ¡± Su Mu nced at the nket in her hand and said, ¡°Thanks.¡± As he spoke, Su Mu kept his de and reached for the nket. Lu Qingqing also walked forward and prepared to hand the nket to Su Mu. However, at the moment of the exchange, Su Mu¡¯s ring saber, which he had just retracted, suddenly flew out. The de was as swift as the wind andnded heavily on Lu Qingqing¡¯s neck! ¡°Pfft!¡± In an instant, blood spurted out. More than half of Lu Qingqing¡¯s neck had been severed. Her head was tilted to one side, and only a small amount of skin and flesh was left to support it. ¡°You¡­¡± Lu Qingqing¡¯s face was covered in blood. She looked at Su Mu in disbelief, as if she could not believe that Su Mu would attack her. Su Mu¡¯s face was ice cold, and without saying a word, he swung his de again. This time, Lu Qingqing¡¯s neck could no longer take it. A beautiful head flew high into the air. ¡­ ¡°I couldn¡¯t cut off your head with one strike, and you still want to pretend that you are Lu Qingqing?¡± When this ¡°Lu Qingqing¡± first appeared, Su Mu had a strange feeling. It was a weak, nagging sensation. However, after being attacked by that wave of drowsiness, Su Mu was already on full alert. With his energy, how could he possibly doze off during the night watch? All of this was odd. There was definitely something wrong with this Lu Qingqing! So he pretended to catch the nket, but he really wanted to draw his de and kill. The fact that the de did not cut off ¡°Lu Qingqing¡¯s¡± head meant that the person in front of him was definitely not Lu Qingqing. Su Mu¡¯s full strength de could easily cut off the head of a horse, not to mention the head of a weak woman who had not cultivated. Su Mu turned away from the corpse. Instead, he turned to look at the ce where Lu Tiang¡¯s family had been resting. Su Mu¡¯s face changed drastically. He didn¡¯t know when it started, but the scenery around him hadpletely changed! Lu Tiang¡¯s family of four disappeared. There were no traces of the starving people lying around either. Moreover, a thick gray mist rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. The visibility quickly decreased. In an instant, it was as if Su Mu was the only person left in the world! While he was confused, the headless corpse suddenly moved. Its four limbs were on the ground, and like a big spider, it quickly crawled towards Su Mu. In just a moment, this damn thing had almost reached his face! ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Su Mu cursed in his heart. He didn¡¯t even have time to swing his de, so he directly threw a punch. ¡°Bang!¡± This powerful punch sent the twisted headless corpse flying. However, it did not stop. Instead, it disappeared into the gray fog. At the same time, a rustling sound came from the gray fog that was getting thicker and thicker. It was obvious that more ghostly things were approaching Su Mu! At that moment, the visibility in the gray fog was less than three meters. In such an environment, he was basically half-blind. Su Mu could only rely on his other senses to lock onto the position of these ghostly things. The ghostly thing in the gray mist did not attack Su Mu. Instead, it circled around him and kept walking around, making a strange rustling sound. Such a situation could easily drive the fear into people¡¯s hearts. But Su Mu narrowed his eyes, and then rxed his whole body and stood still. He stood with his saber in his hand, his eyes half-closed. Those who didn¡¯t know any better would think that he was taking a nap. Su Mu was very clear that under such circumstances, it was not a good choice to take the initiative to attack. If he attacked blindly, the enemy would be able to find his weakness. What he had to do now was to rx his vignce and maintain a good state of mind while also being able to attack at any time! A defensive counterattack was the best choice. ¡­ In the gray fog, there was a constant rustling sound. The chaotic sounds made it impossible to judge how many ghostly things were surrounding Su Mu. However, Su Mu remained unmoved, without the slightest fear or panic. Time slowly passed. Finally, the ghostly being in the gray fog couldn¡¯t hold back any longer! A sneaky figure was lying on the ground, almost touching the ground. Under the cover of the gray mist, it circled around Su Mu¡¯s back and quietly approached him. The distance between the two continued to shrink. Five meters¡­ Three meters¡­ Two meters! One meter! Throughout the entire process, Su Mu did not seem to notice anything and remained motionless. However, when the distance between the two sides was only one meter and the ghostly being was about to attack¡­ Su Mu moved first! His eyes suddenly opened wide, and two rays of light shot out. ¡°Die!¡± Su Mu shouted in anger and kicked the back of the saber that was stuck on the ground. The saber spun and flew over his head like a gust of wind. It urately nailed the ghost that was about to attack him to the ground! At the same time, Su Mu turned around. He stepped on the ghost¡¯s head, pulled out the saber, and quickly looked. A few de glints shed, and the ghostly being¡¯s limbs and head were all chopped off. In this way, even if this damn thing could still move, it would not be a threat to speak of. ¡­ The entire process of ying ghosts was clean and neat. From kicking the de to slicing it up like meat at the butcher¡¯s, it only took the blink of an eye. An unknown ghostly being had fallen to Su Mu¡¯s hands. Chapter 9: Dead Again Chapter 9: Dead Again Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After killing the first ghostly being, seven or eight more jumped out of the gray fog. However, they were all killed by Su Mu. These things weren¡¯t strong. They were very fast, but they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, they were tough and extremely tenacious. Only by cutting them into eight pieces could they bepletely killed. Su Mu examined them and found that these ghosts seemed to be transformed from corpses. The ¡°Lu Qingqing¡± who had tried to ambush him earlier was also a skinny and hideous corpse. The reason why it was able to deceive Su Mu¡¯s eyes was probably because it had used some kind of illusion technique. But the bad thing was that even after dealing with these ghostly beings, the surrounding gray fog still hadn¡¯t dispersed. ¡°This is not good¡­¡± Su Mu frowned and muttered to himself, then began to search the gray fog. If they were alive, he wanted to see them. If they were dead, he wanted to see their corpses. No matter what, he could not leave Lu Tiang and his family behind. ¡­ Su Mu was trapped in the gray fog like a huge maze. He couldn¡¯t get out, no matter how hard he tried! Along the way, they didn¡¯t even see a single bird or beast, let alone a human. He didn¡¯t know how long he had walked when a strange sound suddenly sounded. ¡°It¡¯s midnight, the heavenly gate is open!¡± With this voice, the surrounding gray fog receded like the tide. Soon after, Su Mu was shocked to find that a dpidated building had appeared in front of him. It was the broken temple from his previous life! How did this ruined temple appear here? Why was it in front of him? Su Mu was less than ten feet away from it, so how could he not have noticed it? Su Mu¡¯s hair stood on end. ¡°Creak~~~¡± As Su Mu¡¯s mind was in chaos, the two old temple doors slowly opened. A gust of cold wind blew out, carrying with it a strange meaty fragrance. Smelling this scent, Su Mu couldn¡¯t help but feel goosebumps all over his body. But very soon after, his heart was filled with anger! In the temple, five human-shaped ghostly figures were surrounding arge pot and feasting. There were countless bones in the pot and four corpses that had not been eaten. They were Lu Tiang¡¯s family of four! Their eyes were filled with fear and their faces were twisted. It was as if they had not expected to end up like this! ¡­ Midnight was the most ominous time of the day. The Yin Qi reached its peak, killing all living things and ghosts! This ruined temple was obviously not a good ce. Su Mu could clearly see that one of the five human-shaped ghostly figures looked like Li Tiezhu. He vaguely understood what had happened. Why did the honest, kind, and friendly Li Tiezhu suddenly eat his own son? He had been affected by some strange power. Even if Su Mu was only a step away from bing a third-rate warrior, stepping into this ruined temple would not end well for him. However, there were things a man should do and things he shouldn¡¯t do. Lu Tiang¡¯s family had done him a great favor, and now they had died here because of him. No matter what Su Mu believed, he couldn¡¯t just leave like that. Su Mu walked into the ruined temple step by step. The moment he stepped in, he suddenly felt as if he was swallowed by darkness, as if he had fallen into a quagmire! In an instant, Su Mu¡¯s strength had been reduced by half. This made his heart sink to the bottom of the valley. But what happened next was beyond Su Mu¡¯s expectations. The five human-shaped monsters were still devouring crazily, as if they didn¡¯t notice Su Mu, who was not far from them. On the contrary, the mud statuette in the middle of the ruined temple suddenly moved its eyes and stared at Su Mu as it spoke. ¡°His vitality is exuberant, and his Yin Qi is extremely heavy. There was such a person in this world? How peculiar! ¡°It¡¯s a pity that his martial arts cultivation is too low. If he¡¯s a first-rate warrior, then what? ¡°Giggle! Giggle!¡± As it spoke, the broken y statue let out a strangeugh, causing Su Mu¡¯s head to hurt. ¡°What the hell are you?¡± Even though he was prepared to die, Su Mu was not going to make it easy for him. He had to get more useful information to prepare for his next rebirth. Who knew that after hearing his words, the mud statue would suddenly be angry. ¡°Impudent! ¡°I¡¯m a Dao master, how dare you profane me? ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sacrifice your flesh and blood to help me refine the five elements corpse puppet?¡± After saying that, the five corpse puppets that had been eating suddenly turned their heads and stared at Su Mu with death-like eyes. Su Mu didn¡¯t pay any attention to the five ghostly figures who were obviously puppets. He jumped towards the y sculpture and ruthlessly shed down with his huge sword! ¡°Swish!¡± A de light shed, but Su Mu didn¡¯t hit it. The mud statuette was clearly in front of him, but his de passed through it like an illusion. It had no effect at all. ¡°sphemy against a Dao sovereign, he should be killed!¡± The mud statuette¡¯s mouth opened, and a strange voice sounded. At the same time, pale ghost hands stretched out from the ground and the walls, grabbing at Su Mu from all directions. Fortunately, these ghost hands could be cut. Su Mu waved his de and cut off many ghost hands. However, his movements were still greatly restricted. What was even worse was that those five corpse puppets were already charging at him! The mud statuette had called the five corpse puppets the five elements corpse puppets. It was a world of difference from the ghouls outside! They were not just extremely strong, they also possessed incredibly tough skin and were deceptively quick. They also carried a strange and cold metallic energy. They drilled into Su Mu¡¯s body, rending flesh and spilling blood. ¡­ After a quarter of an hour, Su Mu was too weak to resist. Due to a moment of carelessness, Li Tiezhu¡¯s corpse puppet took advantage of the opening and bit his neck. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to die in his hands in this life.¡± A helpless thought emerged in Su Mu¡¯s mind, and then his consciousness fell into darkness. He had died again. After Su Mu¡¯s death, the other four corpse puppets quickly followed suit and began to madly gnaw at his flesh. The [Nirvana] talent allowed Su Mu to burn his lifespan and possess Qi and vitality that far exceeded ordinary people. Not to mention that he also practiced martial arts. And [Tianyin] allowed Su Mu to possess extremely dense Yin energy. These two things that originally appeared at the same time were rarelybined together, bing the best blood food for the zombies! ¡­ Not long after, Su Mu¡¯s tall and strong body was gnawed until only a skeleton was left. A burst of strangeughter rang out in the ruined temple. ¡°Hahaha! Hahaha!¡± ¡°It¡¯s done, it¡¯s finally done! After absorbing all this blood and flesh, my five elements corpse puppet will beplete!¡± The broken mud statuetteughed non-stop. However, it didn¡¯t notice that the little finger of Su Mu¡¯s skeleton, which had been gnawed clean, was slightly trembling. Chapter 10: The Daoist And The Skeleton Chapter 10: The Daoist And The Skeleton Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion One dark night, a strangeughter echoed from a dpidated temple. The darkness and silence caved in, like walls closing in with a muted, eerie echo. But suddenly, a footstep hammered through the silence. Then, a middle-aged Daoist priest of medium build and ordinary looks walked over. He slowly walked forward, and with every step, his figure teleported ten meters forward. It took no time for him to arrive at the entrance of the ruined temple. His arrival caused the eerieughter in the temple to halt. ¡°You again? Why are you all sticking to me like underfoot dogshit?¡± The mud statuette was shocked and angry, and there was also a faint trace of fear. The middle-aged Daoist stared at the mud statuette and said with a faint smile, ¡°Junior Brother, Junior Brother, if we let you continue to harm themon people, where will our Tianyi Sect put our dignity? ¡°Look at your current appearance. Look at the ghosts you¡¯ve refined. Where has that gotten you? ¡°As a former Senior, I¡¯ll offer you onest advice. Looking at how far gone you are, it¡¯s better to die sooner and reincarnate sooner, and start over in the next life. ¡°Wuwei, Wuwei ¡­ Our master was spot-on when he gave you that Daoist name!¡± As he spoke, the middle-aged Daoist shook his head repeatedly, as if he was disappointed. There was even some contempt in his eyes. The face of the strange mud statuette twisted and became ferocious. He was clearly furious! However, he did not make a move directly, as if he was forcefully suppressing his anger. His Senior Brother¡¯s Daoist name was Qingxu. Not only was he extremely talented in cultivation, but he was also extremely shrewd. Obviously, Qingxu had long been watching his movements. But he had been waiting. Only after the five elements corpse puppet had devoured Su Mu¡¯s flesh and blood and entered the refining stage did he casually stroll up. Demonic priest Wuwei had been constantly hunted down ever since he betrayed the Tianyi sect, and he was running out of resources. Only this five elements corpse puppet provided him with some hope. But now that he was in the process of advancing, he still needed some time before he could sessfully advance. At that moment, he was at his weakest! ¡­ When he took in Junior brother¡¯s reaction, Qingxu smiled and said, ¡°Junior Brother, has it still not set in yet? ¡°The current you is neither human nor a ghost, neither Yin nor Yang. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about your power. Your senses have severely dulled. ¡°A skeleton demon was born right under your nose, and you didn¡¯t even notice it.¡± Su Mu¡¯s heart trembled when he heard this! This time, after his death, Su Mu felt powerful Yin energy gathering in his body, turning him into a demon again. It was many times stronger than the little skeleton in his previous life. However, Su Mu was still not confident that he could defeat the strange mud statuette in this broken temple. After all, he didn¡¯t even know the other party¡¯s background. Therefore, Su Mu chose toy on the ground without moving, waiting for the right time to make a move. After Qingxu¡¯s arrival, Su Mu learned much from their conversation. However, Qingxu¡¯s words had exposed Su Mu. Wuwei was shocked. He did not expect the strange warrior to turn into a skeleton demon right after being devoured! He even chose to y dead and hide right under his nose. What made Wuwei feel the most ufortable was that he had really be a good-for-nothing like what Qingxu said. Otherwise, how could he have failed to noticed this? ¡­ Qingxu¡¯s words broke the silence in the ruined temple. As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu leapeed to his feet and rushed toward the y sculpture. Su Mu¡¯s skeleton was covered with many malevolent bone spikes, making him look extremely terrifying! In his previous life, Su Mu had died as a weak child with insufficient Yin energy. In this life, not only was he eight feet tall and had the physique of a demigod, but he had also absorbed enough Yin under the effect of his [Tianyin]! Shua! Shua! Shua! Pale-white bone spikes flew out of Su Mu¡¯s body and shot towards the statuette. It was like a bleached storm of arrows. ¡°BOOM!¡± The mud statuette burst open, and a twisted figure flew out. It was Wuwei¡¯s main body! ¡°You¡¯re just a puny skeleton. How dare you mess with me!¡± Wuwei could sense that this skeleton demon was much stronger than ordinary. However, being pursued and beaten by such a low-level ghost made him very embarrassed. Especially in front of that Senior Brother who looked down on him! Wuwei was so angry that he couldn¡¯t care less about Qingxu, who was standing outside the temple with a smile on his face. He decided to use all his strength to destroy this skeleton demon first! ¡°Go!¡± He flicked his bony fingers and a rotten head with ck smoke flew out of his sleeve, heading straight for Su Mu. In an instant, a ck mist enveloped Su Mu. This strange ck smoke wrapped around Su Mu¡¯s bone armor like maggots, causing him to feel as if he was stuck in a swamp. He could barely move! The rotten ghost head took the opportunity to bite his femur. As a cultivator, Su Mu¡¯s bones were extremely strong. After transforming into a skeleton demon, they only grew tenfold. Furthermore, he was surrounded by Yin, and ordinary creatures would fall ill just by getting close to it. However, this rotten ghost head had actually broken Su Mu¡¯s bones with its teeth! Su Mu was shocked and furious. His mind was spinning as he quickly analyzed the current situation. ¡­ A demonic priest was in the temple, a Daoist outside. There was no need to say more about the demonic priest, Wuwei. There was a deep hatred between him and Su Mu, and the only oue left was to fight to the death. Qingxu was a decent Taoist. He waited patiently for Su Mu to exhaust Wu Wei¡¯s energy. Even if Su Mu killed Wuwei, Qingxu would clean up the mess. After all, he was now a demon. It was Qingxu¡¯s duty to exterminate evil. ¡­ After a quick analysis of the situation, Su Mu realized that if he wanted to survive, he had to kill both Wuwei and Qingxu. This was clearly impossible. Even a weakened Wuwei could easily injure him. Su Mu¡¯s strength, in front of these two titans who had been cultivating for a long time, was still insufficient. Since he was going to die, he would risk his life to fight! Su Mu¡¯s heart was driven by an overwhelming sense of desperation! ¡­ ¡°Ka ka ka!¡± ¡°Ka ka ka!¡± A strange sound came from Su Mu¡¯s body. Then, all the bones in his body were separated. The bones of various sizes floated in the air and pointed at Wuwei! ¡°He¡¯s using that?!¡± Wuwei and Qingxu shouted in surprise at the same time. The skeleton demon was a low-level ghostly being. It was generally weak and had only one major technique. However, they did not expect this newly born skeleton demon to go all in on that technique! There was noing back after this attack. It would expend all his remaining Yin and his bones would return to human. He would be a pile of dead human bones. If this is game over for round two, so be it! But before that, he had to make Wuwei pay! ¡°Roar!¡± Su Mu¡¯s lonely skull let out an angry, ghostly howl. Immediately after, he led all his other bones and flew towards Wu Zi! If the dying breath of a footsoldier managed to pull an Emperor down from his horse, it was well worth it! Su Mu refused to believe that he would not get away without biting a piece of meat off this demonic priest¡¯s body! This was his fury! Chapter 11: Target: Blood Skeleton Chapter 11: Target: Blood Skeleton Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ¡­ [This simtion has ended.] [Rating: G+] [Dungeonpletion: 64%] [umted points: 30] [Comment: your short life amounted to a mere eight years. You died the moment you entered the Martial Dao. After death, you turned into a demon and retaliated against your enemies. Although you did not seed in your revenge, the enemy was made well aware of your fury.] [Prompt: thepletion rate is lower than 90%. The dungeon is iplete. You cannot leave.] ¡­ Once again, Su Mu was back in the white space. He had dealt Wuwei a decent hit! Some of the bones had struck Wuwei and embedded themselves deep into his body, spreading on the inside. As he took in the pain and anger on Wuwei¡¯s face, Su Mu, who had tried his best, finally felt a littleforted. Then, the ghostly fire in the skull¡¯s eye socketspletely dissipated¡­ Su Mu¡¯sst attack had given him a great harvest! 30 general points. A total of 30 points! This would allow Su Mu to do many things! ¡°Wuwei!¡± Su Mu gritted his teeth as he muttered the name, his heart filled with killing intent. Not only did this demonic priest kill him twice, but he also killed the four Lu family members who had helped him and even ate their bones clean. He wished he could tear this bastard into pieces! ¡­ After a few breaths, Su Mu calmed himself down and took out the small booklet. One point to unlock one page of this booklet. Thest time he returned here, Su Mu had only earned 1 point. After unlocking one page, he only got information about the ¡°bone child¡±. Now, he had 30 points. It was enough for him to enjoy himself a little! Without any hesitation, Su Mu unlocked the second page. This page depicted the skeleton-type demon that he had just transformed into. This was a low-level ordinary ghost, so there was nothing much to say about it. Su Mu unlocked another two pages. They were still two rtively ordinary skeleton-type demons with average strength. This was not the result Su Mu wanted! After two reincarnations, he basically knew how to use the system. The usage of the death system was to choose the best way to die and transform into a powerful demon! What Su Mu had to do now was to choose a skeleton monster that was strong enough. Then, he would figure out the requirements to transform into it. When he entered the dungeon for the third time, Su Mu would be reborn from death! With this thought in mind, Su Mu unlocked several pages in a row. Finally, on the eighth page, he found the information he wanted to know! ¡°Bloodfiend skeleton: an extremely brutal demon with a terrifying aura. They are the most terrifying and dangerous type of skeleton-type demons.¡± Su Mu¡¯s eyes brightened up at the sight of this. He quickly read on and carefully pondered over the information in the booklet. ¡­ After some research, Su Mu found that if he wanted to transform into a Bloodfiend skeleton after death, he needed to meet three key conditions. The first condition was that the dead must be a second-rate warrior. There were five small stages in the early stage of martial arts. They were skin, muscle, bone, organs, and blood. Those who trained their skin and muscles were third-rate warriors. Those who trained their bones would be second-rated warriors. First-rate warriors refined their organs and blood. Only after one¡¯s body waspletely tempered from the outside to the inside, would one be qualified to be a Houtian, Xiantian, or even a martial arts Grandmaster and even more powerful martial artists! The Bloodfiend skeleton was extraordinary, and the strength of its bone armor was a basic requirement. Therefore, the deceased had to be at least a second-rate martial artist who had attained a decent mastery of bone refinement. Otherwise, don¡¯t even think about it. Su Mu thought for a moment. In thest simtion, he had practiced martial arts for half a year and was only a step away from bing a third-rate martial artist. If he had started cultivating earlier, it shouldn¡¯t have been difficult for him to be a second-rate warrior. He could handle the first condition. ¡­ The second condition was that the deceased must have absorbed enough Yin. It didn¡¯t matter if he died in a sea of Yin or if he had any items that could increase his Yin. Su Mu had the [Tianyin] talent, which could gather arge amount of Yin Qi. This condition was easy to achieve without much thought. ¡­ The third condition was a wisp of blood Qi. This was so to speak, the gathering Yin to form evil. It was extremely difficult to condense evil Qi. Blood Qi was a step beyond that in terms of difficulty. Fortunately, Su Mu still had 23 points left. He searched the mall for a while and found what he wanted. ¡°Yin Crow blood (small portion): the blood of the demonic beast, Yin Crow. It contains arge amount of Yin Qi and a wisp of evil blood Qi. Please use it with caution!¡± A small portion of Yin Crow blood required 20 points, and it was stored in a small bottle, the size of a thumb. After Su Mu bought it, he directly threw it into his dimensional pocket. The next time he died, he could use it. ¡­ After some preparation, Su Mu could basically meet the three requirements to transform into a Bloodfiend skeleton. In order to make the ghosts and demons that he transformed into after his death more ferocious. Su mu dropped the [Happy Funeral] talent and equipped [Resentment]! [Resentment: the pain of death will be amplified by 10 times] Ten times the pain was enough to make Su Mu die with a strong hatred and resentment. In that case, the Bloodfiend skeleton would be even more brutal! It would be even more terrifying! Su Mu only thought of this after he had a deep understanding of ghosts and demons. Otherwise, he really didn¡¯t know what the [Resentment] talent was for. ¡°Wuwei, just you wait, your Grandpa Su is back to look for you!¡± After everything was ready, Su Mu took a deep breath and started the third simtion. [Simtion begins!] [Host: Su Mu] [Physique: 5] [Intelligence: 4] [Vitality: 1] [Talent: Nirvana, Tianyin, Resentment] [Item: Yin Crow blood (small portion)] ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù Su Mu was once again born in that poor vige. It was the same miserable family of three. He lost his mother at three and his father at five. Because he was too tall, he was regarded as an ominous figure by the vigers and everyone hated him. However, Su Mu did not stay in the vige for long this time. After burying his parents, he went into the wilderness. In his previous life, he had learned the mountain quaking fist and the Lu family¡¯s saber technique from Lu Feng. With martial arts skills, he naturally did not need to continue to stay in the small vige and beg for food. For the next three years, Su Mu devoted himself to practicing martial arts. In his spare time, he would fight with the ferocious beasts in the mountains. Not only could it temper one¡¯s martial arts, but one could also devour the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts to nourish one¡¯s own Qi and blood. With the experience from his previous life, Su Mu advanced smoothly and became a third-rate warrior in just half a year. He spent another year and a half to advance to a second-rate warrior. By the time the famine came, Su Mu had already finished refining his bones and had fulfilled one of the three requirements to transform into a Bloodfiend skeleton. The remaining two conditions could only be achieved when he died. Su Mu snuck into the crowd of disaster victims and quietly waited for Wuwei toe. Chapter 12: A Shocking Change Chapter 12: A Shocking Change Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Even though Su Mu had already experienced this twice, the experience of the famine struck him no less harder! In his previous life, he had lived beyond the means of an eight-year-old. However, he still died on the way to escape. How many of the disaster victims, who were as dense as an ant colony, could survive the great catastrophe? The path would be littered with corpses! ¡­ Thinking about the mountain of corpses and the scene of starving people exchanging their children for food, Su Mu couldn¡¯t help but shiver. This was something even more terrifying than ghosts and demons! Or rather, it was precisely this disaster that caused countless deaths and injuries. That was why all kinds of ghosts and demons were born in the resentment and continued to wreak havoc in the human world! ¡°Forget it, forget it. It¡¯s just a simted world. Why are you thinking so much?¡± Su Mu shook his head, trying to get rid of these chaotic thoughts. He had been running for more than a month, and Wuwei, the demonic priest, should havee to him. Coincidentally, as soon as Su Mu thought of this, a strange gray fog rose around him. ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± Su Mu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became more alert. In this life, because he had reached the realm of bone refinement, he had put all his effort into tempering his body. The mountain quaking fist had already been cultivated to the mastery level. On the other hand, not only did the Lu family¡¯s swordsmanship not improve, but it had also be rusty. Therefore, Su Mu didn¡¯t bother to waste his time on forging a good de, and faced all his enemies with his iron fists! ¡­ This gray fog was probably some kind of formation set up by Wuwei. After it rose, the disaster victims in the surroundings all disappeared, just likest time. In an instant, Su Mu was the only one left in the entire world. An indescribable sense of loneliness and horror welled up in his heart. But Su Mu had already experienced it once, so how could he be afraid? He was on high alert, observing every corner of his surroundings. After a quarter of an hour, seven or eight corpse puppets charged out of the gray mist and headed straight for Su Mu. Although he didn¡¯t have the ringed saber, he was already a second-rate warrior in this life. A single punch was enough to blow up these low-level corpse puppets, turning them into a pile of rotten meat! The sound of heavy punches continued, but it soon ended. After cleaning up the zombies, Su Mu stepped on their rotten flesh and continued to walk through the gray mist. He was not in a hurry as he continued to umte his strength, waiting for the next explosion. Wuwei, who was hiding in the dark, couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. A momentter, the gray fog receded in all directions, revealing the dpidated temple. The moment he saw the ruined temple, Su Mu didn¡¯t say anything and kicked the two broken doors. After entering the temple, he didn¡¯t stop at all and went straight for the mud statuette! Wuwei, who was hidden in the mud statuette, was extremely shocked. He didn¡¯t know why this strange martial artist had remainedpletely unperturbed after encountering such a strange phenomenon and was instead heading straight for his hiding ce! ¡°Could he be an associate of the Tianyi sect? ¡°That¡¯s not right. Even if the Tianyi sect looked for a martial artist to help, he should at least be a martial arts Grandmaster. They would have no reason to employ a second-rate martial artist!¡± As he thought about this, Wuwei didn¡¯t slow down at all. Just as Su Mu¡¯s fist was about tond on the face of the mud statuette, a cloud of half-ck and half-purple blood mist exploded from the body of the mud statuette. Su Mu couldn¡¯t avoid it in time and was engulfed. Fortunately, his heavy punch urately hit the mud statuette. In the next moment, the mud statuette copsed, and Wuwei¡¯s real body retreated. Su Mu wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack, but he sensed the Qi and blood in his body rapidly decreasing. Just a few momentster, his cultivation level had dropped to the third tier! ¡°This demonic priest is indeed difficult to deal with!¡± Su Mu cursed in his heart, but he was not surprised. If Wuwei was easy to deal with, he would have already been captured by the Tianyi sect. He had betrayed the Tianyi sect and was still able to survive until now, so he naturally had his own abilities. However, after Su Mu became a second-rate warrior, he wasn¡¯t willing to die in vain, so he wanted to give it try. Now, it seemed like he was still far from being able to kill Wuwei with his martial cultivation¡­ ¡­ While these thoughts shed through Su Mu¡¯s mind, Wu Zi had already controlled his five elements corpse puppets to surround him. Li Tiezhu was also among them. It was quite a tragedy. This cksmith had been dealing with ironware for his entire life, and even after his death, he was refined into a metal-type zombie. It was cruel fate. Originally, Su Mu could have held on for a while longer under the siege of the five elements corpse puppet. However, Wuweizi seemed to have been shaken by his decisiveness and efficiency. The demonic priest was clearly much more serious in dealing with him and went all out. The rotten ghost head he had seen in his previous life returned. From time to time, Wuwei would also throw out purple and ck talismans at Su Mu. The abilities of these talismans were extremely strange. One of them actually caused many twisted meat tendrils to grow on Su Mu¡¯s left arm, controlling it to attack him! Under the bombardment of that ridiculous assortment, Su Mu only managed to hold on for a few minutes before he died. ¡°What a sted meathead! Five elements corpse puppet, eat him!¡± Wuwei shouted in anger. These days, he had been hunted down by the people of the Tianyi sect, and he had been holding back his anger. Su Mu, a mere second rated warrior, had actually dared to punch him! This caused Wuwei¡¯s anger to explode, and he vented his anger. In addition, this second-rate warrior was very strange. While his Qi and blood were exuberant, there was actually arge amount of Yin Qi condensed in his body. It was the most suitable to feed the five elements corpse puppet! Once he refined the flesh and blood of this second-rate warrior, the five elements corpse puppet would definitely advance smoothly and be one of his trump cards. As he t thought of this, Wuwei¡¯s mood improved. He didn¡¯t notice the grin on Su Mu¡¯s mouth. ¡­ Very quickly, the five elements corpse puppet had devoured Su Mu, leaving not a single trace of flesh behind. However, before Wuwei could control the five elements corpse puppet to refine the flesh and blood, a figure rushed into his array and walked towards him. Each step drove the man several meters forward, and he arrived before him in no time. This man was none other than Qingxu, who had been sent after him. It seemed that Qingxu¡¯s sudden appearance had startled Wuwei. The five elements corpse puppet needed to refine the flesh and blood it had just devoured, so he could not use it. He was at his weakest right now! But no matter what, Wuwei would not allow himself to be captured. He used some methods to stop Qingxu from entering the temple. At the same time, he said to him in shock and anger, ¡°What are you, dog poop I stepped on in a past life?¡± This time, Qingxu didn¡¯t look calm. He shouted anxiously, ¡°You idiot, are you actually worried about me right now? ¡°Don¡¯t you see the disaster about to unfold?¡± When he saw Qingxu¡¯s anxiety, Wuwei calmed down. He sneered and said, ¡°A great disaster? I¡¯ll be fine as long as you guys get as far away as possible!¡± Qingxu had mixed feelings. ¡°No wonder you went astray, you¡¯re so stupid. ¡°It seems that having good cultivation talent doesn¡¯t mean that one¡¯s brain is good! ¡°Look at what that is!¡± Then, he pointed at Su Mu¡¯s skeleton. Wuwei didn¡¯t believe it at first and only nced at it. However, what he saw caused his expression to change greatly! He saw a small bottle hidden between the skull¡¯s teeth. At that moment, it had already been bitten open, and a strange and evil red liquid flowed out from it, flowing along his spine to his entire body! ¡°Yin Crow blood? ¡°Bloodfiend skeleton!¡± Seeing this, Wuwei couldn¡¯t help but shout as his body turned cold! Chapter 13: Becoming A Bloodfiend Chapter 13: Bing A Bloodfiend Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It hurt! The pain was unbearable! This kind of pain not only prated 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 y, 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, arge 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 ce. In just an instant, Su Mu¡¯s corpse hadpletely 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 copse 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 copsed. 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 arge 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 nned 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 shed. 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. Chapter 14: Fickle Heart, Broken Bones Chapter 14: Fickle Heart, Broken Bones Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qingxu shook his head with a sigh at the nauseating scene. ¡°Junior Brother, oh Junior Brother, you just had to rely on your petty wits to pursue such profane techniques. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ve already abandoned the true path to greatness? ¡°If you had not taken the wrong path, why would you be here today?¡± Wuwei¡¯s miserable state made Qingxu sigh with emotion. However, the most important thing now was to subdue the Bloodfiend skeleton. This was an extremely dangerous existence, and the sect was obligated to prioritize its destruction above all other pursuits. From what Qingxu could see, Wuwei had already exhausted his tricks. ¡­ ¡°The Bloodfiend skeleton has many abilities. One of them is to melt into the darkness. ¡°You should be more alert. Don¡¯t die at the hands of the demons. I still have to bring you back for justice.¡± Qingxu took out apass and started to operate it silently. Wuwei¡¯s face darkened, but he did not reply. After being chased for such a long time, he only had about a fifth of his strength. What was worse was that the five elements corpse puppet that had just been refined not long ago had fallen into silence again. His already greatly weakened strength had been reduced by half¡­ Wuwei knew that if he had been alone, he would definitely die in the hands of the skeleton! However, he would still die after Qingxu subdued the ghost! If he wanted to live, he had to think of something. Wuwei¡¯s eyes rolled around as ideas came to his mind. On the other side, Su Mu and Qingxu were fighting. The ancientpass in Qingxu¡¯s hand released a strange Dao aura that dispelled arge amount of Yin qi in the broken temple. The needle on thepass was spinning wildly, unable to lock onto the direction. Seeing this, Qingxu frowned. This newly-born ghostly being seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. At this time, Su Mu, who was hiding in the shadows, was also having a headache. Thepass in Qingxu¡¯s hand had a strange power. After the needle pointed at him, he felt as if he was being bound and chained. Although he didn¡¯t know what would happen if he allowed it to hold him, Su Mu knew that he couldn¡¯t let that happen. Therefore, he kept changing his body shape to shake thepass off. However, he couldn¡¯t keep hiding like this. He had to find a chance to counterattack! ¡­ A ray of cold moonlight shone down through the hole in the roof of the ruined temple. It covered Qingxu and Wuwei with ayer of silvery-white gauze. The two of them seemed to be motionless, but in reality, their minds were tense and they were ready to attack at any moment. In fact, as long as he removed the formation that Wuwei had set up, it would be much easier to deal with Su Mu. This was because the formation he had set up was a Yin formation, which would enhance the ghosts and demons within it. However, neither Qingxu nor Wuwei had the intention of removing the formation. Outside the formation were countless starving people. Qingxu was afraid that the evil ghost would hurt the poor people after he removed the formation. At the same time, it would be far easier for it to escape and continue to wreak havoc in the human world. Inparison, Wuwei¡¯s thinking was much simpler. He didn¡¯t care about starving people or bringing disaster to the human world. He only cared about himself. Wuwei knew that he was the weakest of the three. The formation was his only geographical advantage. Both Qingxu and Su Mu were his enemies. Without this geographical advantage, how could he still have the chance to live? ¡­ The human heart was fickle, and ghosts were unpredictable. Just as Wuwei was slightly distracted, he felt a chilling from above his head. The chill instantly filled his entire body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave! ¡°Up there!¡± Wuwei shouted as he looked up. Sure enough, a ferocious blood-red skull came at him from above. The ghostly fire in the empty eye sockets seemed to want to burn his soul! Qingxu knew that Wuwei was already severely weakened, so he immediately threw out a talisman. ¡°Freeze!¡± He cast a Divine Art, and the talisman immediately burned to ashes. As Qingxu pointed his finger at the skull, a surge of nature essence bound the skull, making it unable to move. Seeing this, Qingxu was shocked instead of happy. The bloody skeleton was extremely brutal. Normally speaking, the immobilization talisman would at most slow its movements for a moment. How could it be immobilized? Could it be¡­ As soon as a bad feeling came to Qingxu¡¯s mind, he felt a chill on his back that was as sharp as needles! ¡°Not good! As expected, it¡¯s a trap!¡± Qingxu¡¯s expression changed drastically. In the darkness behind him, a headless skeleton suddenly appeared. The ten finger bones extended several times longer and turned into ghostly ws that stabbed at him. Qingxu was right. That skull was just a decoy to distract him. Su Mu¡¯s target was Wuwei. However, he was not stupid. He knew that Qingxu was the greater threat. Therefore, Su Mu¡¯s head was separated from his body. He used the skull as a feint to attract Qingxu¡¯s attention. After that, the headless body wouldunch a real attack, which would surely wound Qingxu! ¡­ Although Qingxu had figured out Su Mu¡¯s n, he had just cast the spell and didn¡¯t have time to make a second move. Moreover, Su Mu was extremely fast, and he had arrived behind him almost at the same time he had cast the spell! ¡°These days, are even newly born demons so cunning?¡± An extremely helpless thought came to Qingxu¡¯s mind. In the next second, ten blood-colored bone ws stabbed into his body. ¡°Hiss~~~¡± After the bone w struck, a buzzing sound rang out. The jade pendant that Qingxu was wearing emitted golden light, which enveloped him. This was a protective magical treasure that would automatically activate the golden light spell when it sensed danger. In the face of the golden light, Su Mu¡¯s blood bone ws felt a huge resistance. However, it was not impossible to break through! The pain of death was ten times more than that of a normal person, causing his mind to be in a half-crazy state after he turned into a demon! Right now, Su Mu only wanted to vent his endless anger, resentment, and killing intent! ¡°Wuwuwu!!!¡± Under the influence of his mental state, Su Mu¡¯s skeleton let out a series of wails, like the howl of a ghost! At the same time, the skeleton glowed with blood. The dense baleful yin force corroded all things and killed all living beings! Finally ¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± With a crisp sound, Qingxu¡¯s jade pendant exploded, and the golden light protecting him flickered away. Without any obstacles, Su Mu¡¯s 10 blood-red bone ws continued to attack Qingxu. However, the jade pendant had bought Qingxu a fraction of a second. This was more than enough! Qingxu teleported to a corner of the ruined temple, putting some distance between him and Su Mu. Soon after, he formed an incantation gesture with one hand and reached into his bosom with the other, as if he wanted to take out some magic treasure. Su Mu¡¯s heart grew anxious! This middle-aged Daoist priest had a very high cultivation level. The Bloodfiend skeleton was ferocious and terrifying. However, he was still a newborn and had yet to fully understand his own abilities, let alone the abilities of the enemy. If he allowed this to drag on any longer, he was going to lose! This opportunity that he had painstakingly created might very well be Su Mu¡¯s only chance. When this Daoist recovered, it would be his death! ¡­ At that moment, anxiety, anger, pain, and unwillingness¡­ All sorts of emotions surged like a tide, constantly attacking Su Mu¡¯s mind. While his thoughts were surging, a thought suddenly appeared in su MU¡¯s mind. ¡°Crush his hands!¡± ¡°Rip his arms off!!!¡± ¡°Without his hands, the spellcaster can¡¯t cast spells!!!¡± Chapter 15: Mutual Destruction, End Of Simulation Chapter 15: Mutual Destruction, End Of Simtion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The moment this thought emerged, it grew like wild grass! Su Mu focused all his attention on Qingxu¡¯s hands. Crush! Twist! Rend! One by one, brutal words popped up in Su Mu¡¯s mind. He was roaring madly in his heart! A strange and invisible force was generated and nted toward Qingxu¡¯s hands. ¡°Crack!¡± There was a crisp sound. The bones in Qingxu¡¯s hands were suddenly twisted weirdly. The bones in some parts of his body had even been shattered! If not for his Qi surrounding him, his bones would have been crushed into powder. This injury was not a big deal. But in this situation, it was fatal! ¡°Crap.¡± Qingxu was shocked. He was just about to use his technique when he was interrupted by this sudden injury. Su Mu seized the opportunity and came to Qingxu. In the next moment, ten blood-colored bone ws pierced into his body. They spread out like tendrils! The blood-colored bones grew in every corner of Qingxu¡¯s body like vines. It was tearing his body from the inside! ¡­ ¡°Senior Brother, you!!!¡± This scene shocked Wuwei to the extreme, and he even subconsciously called out, ¡°Senior Brother.¡± Although he didn¡¯t admit it, he was well aware of reality. Qingxu¡¯s talent and strength were much more superior to him. However, at that moment, the powerful and wise Senior Brother in Wuwei¡¯s heart had fallen at the hands of a newborn ghost. Even though this ghost was one of the most powerful skeleton-type ghosts, he still found it to be unbelievable! ¡­ ¡°Sigh¡­ I¡¯ve failed miserably in a straightforward task.¡± Qingxu sighed helplessly. ¡°This Bloodfiend sure is an odd one. It¡¯s as cunning as an old ghost when it was just born. ¡°It strength is even more bizarre! I¡¯ve never heard of anyone having such fine control over their bones the moment they turn into a demon. ¡°Could it be that there are geniuses among ghosts?¡± Qingxu was already nearing death. However, he was quite open-minded. He didn¡¯t have the ordinary fear of death, and his tone of voice returned to its previous carefree and whimsical tone. It was just that¡­ it was such a shame. His pursuit of Dao had only just begun! ¡°Forget it, forget it, it¡¯s all fate. ¡°The three of us, one human and one ghost, and the half-human, half-ghost. ¡°Today, let¡¯s all go back together.¡± Then, Qingxu bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Since he was going to die anyway, might as well go with a bang. It was not necessary to use both hands to cast spells and divine powers. However, with Qingxu¡¯s cultivation, he would need more time. After the blood essence was spat out, it immediately floated in the air. The drops of blood essence twisted and arranged, gradually forming a mysterious charm. ¡­ ¡°Five Thunder technique?! ¡°You¡¯re already able to use that divine ability?¡± When he saw this talisman made of blood essence, Wuwei¡¯s face was filled with disbelief and fear. The Thunder technique that Qingxu had just used was the Heavenly Thunder of the five Thunder technique. He had only casually used the Sky Thunder curse, but it had forced Su Mu to give up on killing Wuwei and escape into the darkness. The Five Thunder technique was countless times more powerful! Only by cultivating the Heavenly Thunder, the Earth Thunder, the Water Thunder, and the Divine Thunder to an extremely profound level could one master the Five Thunder techniques. Only when they were perfectly fused together could he use the Five Thunder technique. This terrifying lightning technique was enough to turn Wuwei¡¯s array into dust! Of course, this included everything rted to formations! Whether it was a human or a ghost. Or the half-human, half-ghost Wuwei. They would all die without a trace! That was why he was so afraid! ¡­ ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s all good. If it has to be done this way, so be it¡± Qingxu smiled weakly and indifferently. ¡°Plop!¡± Trembling, Wuwei kneeled in front of Qingxu and begged. ¡°Senior brother¡­ Don¡¯t! Please let me live!¡± The power of the Five Thunder technique was extraordinary, and there was not a chance of escaping it. He could only pray to the grim reaper and hope he stays his hand. However, that was clearly impossible. Qingxu nced at Wuwei and said with pity, ¡°You might as welle with me. Return to the cycle while your soul is still redeemable.¡± ¡­ The conversation between the two gave Su Mu a bad feeling. He withdrew the bones that were stuck in Qingxu¡¯s body, took a step back, and disappeared into the darkness, quickly fleeing into the distance. He didn¡¯t even have time to retrieve his skull! But in the next second, the blood essence charm took shape, and five dragon-like Thunderbolts fell from the sky. The originally pitch-ck sky was now lit up as if it was daytime! The array set up by Wuwei shattered upon contact and turned into nothingness under the bombardment of the Five Thunder technique. This technique contained all of Qingxu¡¯s essence, Qi, and spirit, and it was the most powerful technique he had used at the cost of his life! Qingxu looked up at the dazzling lightning bolts with a satisfied smile. Then, endless lightning swallowed him. Wuwei, who was beside him, was also reduced to dust as he trembled in fear. ¡°Boom boom boom boom boom!!!¡± The lightning struck, and the earth trembled. Su Mu, who had just gained a few hundred meters of room, barely managed to turn around before he was swallowed up by the ocean of lightning. As far as the eye could see, lightning was everywhere. Nowhere to hide! His blood-colored bones cracked inch by inch and turned into fine powder! ¡°It¡¯s like some god taking the piss on me!¡± After thest thought shed through Su Mu¡¯s mind, his consciousness fell into endless darkness. Obviously, he had died again. ¡­ [This simtion has ended.] [Rating: F] [Dungeonpletion: 91%] [umted points: 60] [Comment: your short life was only a mere eight years, but after your death, you turned into a ferocious ghost, forcing two powerful beings to walk towards death together.

[Dungeonpletion rate 91%¡­ Returning to the real world¡­] ¡°So, as long as a dungeon¡¯spletion rate is above 90%, it¡¯s done?¡± Su Mu was in a daze. The great pain caused by [Resentment] had subsided, but the lingering madness still remained. In addition, he had lived three lives in this dungeon, for a total of 24 years. Although a bitter life was set out for him, he was somewhat reluctant to leave. For example, Lu Feng, who had epted him as a disciple and treated him better than his own son. ¡­ ¡°Phew! Let¡¯s not think about this. ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the benefits we¡¯ve obtained afterpleting the instance dungeon.¡± After a while, Su Mu calmed down and began to sort out his gains. Chapter 16: Su Mu Goes To The Real World Chapter 16: Su Mu Goes To The Real World Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After a while, Su Mu calmed down and began to sort out his inventory. First of all, he had obtained 60 points. Spending all of them at once was unnecessary at the moment. When he encountered a new dungeon, he could make his purchases ording to the situation. In any case, most of his talents and items would not take effect in the real world, so it was useless to spend them now. ¡­ Next, Su Mu could take one of the ten talents permanently. In the future, this talent would also apany him when he entered an instance dungeon. After some consideration, he chose [Resentment]. It was true that this talent would bring him great pain when he died. However, Su Mu had already figured out how to use the death system. The key to this so-called death game was to choose the most correct way to die from one death after another and transform into a terrifying demon! In the next instance dungeon, he would most likely face certain death. Turning into a demon after death was inevitable. [Resentment] would make Su Mu experience great pain. Filled with hatred and resentment, his demon would end up even more powerful! Therefore, this talent was very important. It would probably find a use in every uing instance dungeon. Inparison, the other nine talents were nothing. ¡­ After selecting his permanent talent, it was time for the real highlight. Su Mu¡¯s biggest gain from thest instance was the Bloodfiend skeleton. Solidifying the demon temte was the only core function of the death system. Without this ability, the so-called system would be nothing more but a needlessly realistic VR game. Su Mu opened the system panel and read it carefully. [Demon temte: Bloodfiend Skeleton] [Note: you will have all the abilities of the Bloodfiend skeleton and can switch between human and demon state at will.] Su Mu¡¯s eyes shone with excitement. ¡°This is what it¡¯s all about!¡± Talents and items took no effect in the real world. But the demonic form was the prize! In other words, Su Mu was capable of transforming into the Bloodfiend skeleton in the real world! ¡­ ¡°So many years have passed. I¡¯ve almost forgotten my real identity in the real world after I transmigrated. ¡°It¡¯s time to go back.¡± Three minutes had passed by the time he was done. Su Mu¡¯s vision turned ck, and his consciousness returned to his body in the real world. ¡°Oh¡­¡± As soon as he returned to the real world, a rotten stench entered Su Mu¡¯s nose, causing him to frown in disgust. Su Mu was in a dark and gloomy prison, filled with the stench of death. Su Mu was on the death row! This was the real world! However, Su Mu activated the system and entered the simtion space after only three days. As a result, he had not even fully integrated with the memories of his previous self and had almost forgotten that he had transmigrated. The details of his life were even more vague. Now that he had suddenly returned to the real world, Su Mu had to reorient himself with his memories. ¡­ Su Mu, from Yongzhou¡¯s Yanjing, age 16. His father had died on the battlefield in his early years. He left behind an orphan and a widow to depend on each other. However, his mother had always been weak and sickly. When she suddenly heard the news that he had been thrown into the death row, she fell ill and soon passed away. In other words, he was an orphan in the real world! Su Mu couldn¡¯t help butugh at himself. He was an orphan in both the virtual world and the real world. It seemed that he was really born to be a protagonist! However, Su Mu was now in the death row, and he was only one step away from death. As for the reason he was thrown into the death row¡­ Su Mu cast his gaze toward the other person in the cell. It was a burly man with a full beard, and he was even taller than Su Mu¡¯s huge, hulking reincarnations in the simtions. However, this burly man was severely wounded. Moreover, the wounds had not been treated, and most of them had rotted and festered. Even from a few meters away, Su Mu could smell the rotten stench. ¡­ His name was Xu Congwu, a sworn brother of Su Mu¡¯s father. After Su Mu¡¯s father died on the battlefield, he had entrusted Su Mu and his mother to him. Xu Congwu took Su Mu¡¯s father¡¯sst words to heart and took good care of Su Mu and his mother. After leaving the battlefield, he ced Su Mu and his mother in the capital of Da Qian, Yan Jin, and changed their household registration. After that, Xu Congwu used his military merits to get a position as a Baihu of the Jinyiwei in Yan Jin. Su Mu was not very talented in martial arts. After ten years of cultivation, he was barely a third-rate warrior. However, Xu Congwu still tried his best to bring him into the Jinyiwei to serve as an officer under him. The military officials of the Great Qian Dynasty had to have the corresponding strength to back their ranks up. With Su Mu¡¯s martial arts cultivation, he was at the highest possible position. This was also the cause of the disaster. ¡­ It was the 46th year of the Tianqi era. The Saint was aging. For the past two years, the struggle for the heir apparent had only escted. The entirety of Yanjing was filled with blood! Xu Congwu¡¯s immediate superior had been involved in the fight for the heir apparent. The man was summarily executed on the spot. All the ranked officials under hismand were sent to the death row! Just like that, Xu Congwu and Su Mu, the uncle and nephew pair, were thrown into the death row with nk faces. In the beginning, they didn¡¯t even know what had happened. They only found out after being tortured. Perhaps because of Su Mu¡¯s insignificant, no one thought that he would know any secrets. Thus, he was lucky enough to escape. It was not the same for Xu Congwu. After a few rounds of torture, he was beaten half to death, but nothing came out of him. After making sure that Xu Congwu knew nothing, the officials let him go. However, he was already near death. Even if he did survive this beating, he was still on death row! Fortunately, the system showed up, and he finally had hope of survival! ¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t escape from this prison with the Bloodfiend Skeleton!¡± Su Mu¡¯s face was filled with determination and hope. However, before he could escape, he had to figure out how powerful this Bloodfiend Skeleton truly was in this world. With a single thought, crimson bone ws emerged from the fingertips of Su Mu¡¯s right hand. It was identical to the Bloodfiend skeleton¡¯s! With another thought, the flesh and blood on Su Mu¡¯s right arm faded away, revealing a bloody skeletal arm. Su Mu carefully examined it, and then his flesh and blood reappeared, covering the bone. In the blink of an eye, Su Mu had returned to normal. Other than him, no one knew what kind of terrifying skeleton he hid under his skin! ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve indeed inherited the full Bloodfiend skeleton¡¯s strength, and I can switch forms at will. ¡°It¡¯s just that¡­ I haven¡¯t figured out the Bloodfiend skeleton¡¯s ability just yet. I need more time.¡± Chapter 17: Beheading At Midnight. I Shall Return. Chapter 17: Beheading At Midnight. I Shall Return. Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the simted world, Su Mu was killed by the Five Thunder technique not long after he transformed into the Bloodfiend skeleton. He neither had the time nor opportunity to feel his new body out. When he was fighting Qingxu and Wuwei, he was running on feral instincts. Su Mu carefully recalled the scene and summed up the few major abilities of the Bloodfiend skeleton. First of all, the skeleton¡¯s bones were extremely hard. He was as fast as the wind, and his attacks were swift and ruthless. From a physical point of view, the Bloodfiend skeleton already had the basic attributes of a first-rate warrior. Even so, this was the least impressive aspect. Its other abilities were downright superhuman. For example, the Bloodfiend skeleton could meld into the shadows and remainpletely elusive. This ability was not just a form of invisibility. Instead, his very presence would vanish from the material world! This ability, coupled with his extreme speed, meant that he coulde and go without a trace. It was extremely terrifying! In addition, his entire body could be disassembled to act as separate parties. Finally, he forced Qingxu and Wuwei to their deaths. He could also control the bones of others! In fact, when Su Mu was just freshly awoken, he had subconsciously used this ability on Wuwei. When Su Mu¡¯s bone palm touched Wuwei Zi¡¯s face¡­ He had extended a bone spike from his palm and stabbed it into Wuwei¡¯s face. At the same time, he forced Wuwei¡¯s skull to expand, causing his head to be extremely deformed. In the early stages of mastery, this ability could only be used when it touched the target. However, Su Mu was learning rapidly, and Qingxu was giving him too much pressure. In his struggle, he was forced to learn quickly. He learned to control his bones through space. That was why Qingxu¡¯s hands were injured, and his casting was interrupted. Qingxu even remarked that geniuses existed among demons. ¡­ To sum it up, besides the basic attributes, Su Mu had currently mastered three special abilities of the skeleton. He could hide in the dark, he could control his bones, and he could control the bones of others. Su Mu believed that there were more abilities for him to discover, but it would be for another time. All in all, Su Mu¡¯s strength had far exceeded that of a first-rate warrior after transforming into the Bloodfiend skeleton. Su Mu should be able to kill an average first-rate warrior with a single blow! However, Su Mu could not let his guard down just yet. Just like how he had this system, far more dangerous beings wandered out there! ¡°Beyond the first-rate warriors, there were the postliminary realm and the innate realm. ¡°I must safeguard my secrets, or I¡¯ll definitely get killed! ¡°Also, Qingxu was no slouch himself. I wonder what level he is among the Qi practitioners.¡± There were martial artists and Qi practitioners in this world. These two paths each had their own advantages and strengths. Su Mu knew very little about Qi practitioners. However, Qingxu¡¯s Thunder was terrifying! It had left a very deep impression on him. If Qingxu¡¯s strength was only in the middle of the Qi practitioners, then Su Mu would have to be more careful when he encountered Qi practitioners in the future! Fortunately, there seemed to be very few Qi practitioners in this world. He did not know when he would encounter one of those. Now, he should think about how to escape. To be more precise, bringing Xu Congwu¡¯s family away. With Su Mu¡¯s abilities, it would be very easy for him to leave this death cell. However, it would be difficult to save Xu Congwu, along with his wife and daughter! He had to n it properly. ¡­ Just as Su Mu was thinking about how to save Xu Congwu¡¯s family, he heard footsteps. In the darkness, three jailers slowly walked over. The man in the lead ced a sumptuous meal in front of the cell and said coldly, ¡°Su Mu, this is yourst meal. After you¡¯re done, you can go on your way.¡± Su Mu nced at the food and understood. A bowl of white rice, arge piece of braised meat, half a fat chicken, half a te of peanuts, and even a pot of warm wine. This meal could be considered sumptuous even in a restaurant, let alone in this death prison. It was clear what this meant. It was the end of the road! Themotion outside the cell door woke Xu Congwu up. When he saw the meal, Xu Congwu¡¯s eyes widened, and he looked extremely pained. He propped up his heavily injured body and crawled to the prison door. He reached out and grabbed the jailer¡¯s trousers, begging, ¡°Don¡¯t kill him, kill me, kill me! Please, I beg you, don¡¯t kill him!¡± ¡­ ¡°Get lost! Why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself? Would you even live long enough to be beheaded?!¡± The jailer kicked Xu Congwu away and spat in disgust. Normally, the execution would take ce at noon. That was the time when Yang Qi was the most intense. It could suppress Yin Qi and evil Qi, preventing the birth of ghosts and evil spirits. It was a very unusual time for one to be beheaded in the middle of the night. Needless to say, some son of an official hadmitted a crime and wanted to find a scapegoat. It was the ideal hour to mask things behind smoke and mirrors. As for why he chose Su Mu and not Xu Congwu, the reason was simple. First of all, Xu Congwu was rather highly-ranked, and many people knew him. Secondly, his age and figure didn¡¯t match that young master. The risk of forcefully impersonating his corpse as that young master¡¯s was huge. Not only was Su Mu¡¯s age and figure more suitable, but his parents were both dead and he had no rtives. Who knew him? Who would remember him? If he died, he died. Such a person was the best scapegoat. ¡­ While Xu Congwu groaned in pain, Su Mu silently brought in thest meal. ¡°Braised chicken and meat from Fuji Restaurant. Good stuff! ¡°Uncle Xu,e! Have a taste.¡± Su Muughed as he tore off a chicken leg and gave it to Xu Congwu. However, Xu Congwu was not in the mood to eat. He said with guilt and regret, ¡°I promised big brother that I would take good care of you and your mother. How¡­ How did it end up like this? ¡°If I didn¡¯t bring you into the Jinyiwei and force you up the ranks to stay close to me, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­ ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m sorry, big brother!¡± Xu Congwu mumbled to himself in a trembling voice, deeply guilty. Seeing this, Su Mu helplessly sighed. He knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he simply ate the roasted chicken in big mouthfuls. After a while, half of the roast chicken was in his stomach. Su Mu smacked his lips, still dissatisfied. Thus, he drizzled some braised meat soup on the rice and finished the entire night¡¯s rice in three to five mouthfuls. After he finished eating, Su Mu walked forward and patted Xu Congwu,forting him, ¡°Uncle Xu, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be fine. ¡°By the way, you should hurry up and eat the remaining braised meat and the pot of warm wine. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. Don¡¯t wait for me toe back. I haven¡¯t finished eating yet.¡± Xu Congwu and the three jailers outside the cell door were stunned. Come back? After a beheading! The leader of the jailers broke out inughter. ¡°Come back? To what, haunt this cell?! ¡°Open the door and take him away!¡± ¡­ The cell door opened, and Su Mu, who was shackled, was carried out. Before he left, Su Mu turned back and smiled at Xu Congwu. ¡°Uncle Xu, hurry up and eat. Don¡¯t wait for me toe back and not finish eating. That won¡¯t be good.¡± After saying that, the three jailers escorted away Su Mu, gradually blending into the darkness. Chapter 18: Don’t Look Over Your Shoulder Chapter 18: Don¡¯t Look Over Your Shoulder Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The night was silent, and it was difficult to tell people from ghosts. It was a good time to carry out tricks, forgeries and smokes and mirrors. Three jailers escorted Su Mu to a remote, private execution ground. In the dark, two tall figures made minute movements. One was sharpening a knife, while the other was waiting quietly. These two people were the executioners in charge of the execution. A master and a disciple. Executioners had three rules,monly known as the three do not¡¯s. Don¡¯t sharpen the knife, don¡¯t execute beyond a hundred in your lifetime, don¡¯t look over your shoulder. Executioners did not sharpen their knives. Therefore, the person who was sharpening the knife was his disciple. The real executioner was the man who was standing still. ¡­ ¡°Liu Yidao, I¡¯ve brought him here. Hurry up and get it over with.¡± The jailer escorted Su Mu to the front of Executioner Liu Yidao and urged him. Su Mu nced at Liu Yidao and then gave a faint smile. For some reason, this seemingly harmless smile made Liu Yidao feel an inexplicable chill in his heart. He had a vague premonition that this didn¡¯t seem to be a good job! However, when he thought of the money that the master had given him and the pregnant wife at home¡­ Liu Yidao could only bite the bullet and proceed with it. If he did not want his unborn son to continue in this line of work, he would have to rely on fishing for a living. He had to do this! As he thought of this, Liu Yidao let out a long sigh of relief. He took the executioner¡¯s de from his disciple and escorted Su Mu to the execution ground. ¡°Kneel down!¡± Liu Yidao pushed Su Mu, but Su Mu didn¡¯t move at all, like a stone pir. This made Liu Yidao feel even more uneasy. In terms of figure. Su Mu was sixteen years old, and his body was thin and weak. He was only about seven feet tall. As for Liu Yidao, he was seven feet and eight inches tall and had a robust physique. In terms of cultivation. Su Mu had barely stepped into the ranks of third-rate warriors. As for Liu Yidao, he had been a third-rate warrior for more than ten years. Although he had struck a wall and couldn¡¯t advance, he was still much stronger than Su Mu. However, pushing Su Mu had not budged him in the least. It was really strange! ¡­ When Liu Yidao¡¯s heart was palpitating, Su Mu turned around and grinned at him, saying, ¡°Just give it a good swing from here. My bones are stiff and I am unable to kneel. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯m in a hurry, so you have to be quick.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Su Mu¡¯s frail and narrow face, in Liu Yidao¡¯s eyes, gave him an inexplicable sense of fear, giving him the impulse to run away! However, the jailers who were watching from a distance didn¡¯t feel the same. Seeing this, they also urged him on. ¡°Liu Yidao, hurry up and do it. Stop wasting time. It¡¯s the same whether you cut him while he¡¯s standing or kneeling. I¡¯m in a hurry to use his body to report on my mission. ¡°Hurry up and do it. It¡¯s a cold night. Isn¡¯t it better to end work early and go home?¡± As an executioner, it was the first time Liu Yidao was repeatedly urged like this. He decided to give up thinking. He raised the executioner¡¯s de high. ¡°Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. Don¡¯t me me, don¡¯t me me.¡± After he finished speaking, a sh of light from his de shed past, and he went straight for Su Mu¡¯s neck! ¡°Swish!¡± Blood spurted out, and Su Mu¡¯s head flew high into the air, rolling a few times before it finally stopped. The strange thing was, even though his head was separated from his body, Su Mu¡¯s face still had a faint smile. It was as if he was still alive! It was just that it was dark here, and no one saw this horrifying scene. ¡­ ¡°p p p!¡± After the execution, the head jailer pped a few times and praised him, ¡°As expected of the Liu Yidao who beheads with a single strike and never once messes up. Alright, that¡¯s enough. You can leave now.¡± As he spoke, the jailer gave his two subordinates a look. The two of them understood each other¡¯s thoughts and lifted Su Mu¡¯s corpse to walk in a certain direction. Liu Yidao kept feeling that tonight¡¯s errand was strange. After finishing, he and his disciple went their separate ways, only wanting to go home quickly. The streets were empty at midnight. Liu Yidao was walking alone on the road. The night wind was cold, and it only exacerbated the chill on his body. For some reason, Liu Yidao felt that the execution just now had been most bizarre. How was there any abnormality? Thinking about it, something felt a little weird. His de never seemed to pass through anything. There had been absolutely zero resistance. It was as if the neck was deliberately cooperating with him. But why would flesh simply part ways to cooperate with the executioner? What of the bones? Did they separate with a will of their own? The more Liu Yidao thought about it, the stranger he felt. Suddenly, an image popped up in his mind. He finally knew what was wrong! Bones! It was the bone of the prisoner just now! Liu Yidao remembered catching a glimpse of Su Mu¡¯s neck bone in the dim light. It was blood-red from the inside out! His mind had been preupied, so he didn¡¯t notice it at first. Now that he thought about it, he realized that something was wrong. It was not merely bone drenched in blood. His bones were blood-red, to begin with! ¡­ ¡°No, no! How can human bones be blood-red? ¡°I must be seeing things, that¡¯s it! ¡°I can¡¯t let my thoughts run wild anymore. Let¡¯s hurry home.¡± The more Liu Yidao thought about it, the more horrified he felt. He quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts. All he wanted to do now was to go home, step over the fire basin, wash up, and get rid of all the bad luck. Thinking of this, Liu Yidao quickened his pace. However, he had not walked far when a gust of chilly wind suddenly attacked him. Liu Yidao¡¯s body trembled, and his face turned pale. He something approaching him from behind! Liu Yidao¡¯s scalp went numb. He felt a chill climbing up his shoulder, like a poisonous snake. He really felt the urge to look over his shoulder and see what was behind him. However, ording to the rules, there was no turning back after beheading someone! There were some ancestral teachings and unspoken rules in an industry that one had to adhere to! Liu Yidao gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to turn back. He desperately walked forward. However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that the terror had just only begun! After walking for a while, Liu Yidao¡¯s right shoulder suddenly sank, as if something had fallen on it. Then, a cold and strange voice sounded in his ears. ¡°Su Mu is dead. Su Mu is dead. ¡°Remember, remember!¡± This voice was close to Liu Yidao¡¯s ear,ing like a whisper. He suddenly felt cold all over, and his heart almost stopped beating! In the dark, Liu Yidao could vaguely see something on his shoulder from the corner of his eye. But he did not dare to turn his head to look! ¡°Don¡¯t turn, don¡¯t turn!¡± Liu Yidao gritted his teeth and kept repeating the rules in his heart. At the same time, he pretended not to hear anything and continued to walk forward. But the voice did not let him go. When it saw that Liu Yidao was pretending not to hear him, the voice became even more sinister. ¡°Su Mu is dead. Do you remember?!¡± This obvious question made Liu Yidao, an executioner who had killed countless people, tremble all over. It seemed that he had indeed encountered evil! Coincidentally, Liu Yidao passed by a waterhole. In the moonlight¡¯s reflection, he could see the situation on his shoulder. What was resting on Liu Yidao¡¯s shoulder was actually a strange, bloody head. From the looks of it, it was clearly the person he had just beheaded! ¡°I, I remember¡­ I remember¡­¡± He said. Liu Yidao was so terrified that his voice trembled so much that he could barely hear it. Fortunately, the weight on his shoulder was lifted immediately after he answered. The bone-biting chill also disappeared. ¡­ After walking for a while, Liu Yidao finally arrived at the door of his house. As soon as he entered the house, he copsed on the ground, his clothes soaked in a cold sweat. Hearing themotion, his wife, who had been waiting for him the whole night, hurried out. Seeing this scene, he couldn¡¯t help but ask worriedly, ¡°What happened?¡± Liu Yidao turned his head and looked at his right shoulder. There was an obvious bloodstain there. Obviously, what that just happened was not an illusion. It really did happen! ¡°Husband, what happened?¡± Seeing that her bold husband was so frightened, Liu Yidao¡¯s wife was very worried. She wanted to help him up, but was refused by a wave of her hand. ¡°Don¡¯te over, there¡¯s great misfortune about!¡± Liu Yidao didn¡¯t let his wife get close. Then, he looked at her slightly bulging belly in a daze and murmured, ¡°No more, I¡¯m giving up on the de.¡± Chapter 19: Vengeful Spirit Chapter 19: Vengeful Spirit Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the other side of things, two jailers were moving Su Mu¡¯s body in the dark. The smaller-sized leader led the way in front, so he didn¡¯t have to do the physical work. Along the way, the three of them chatted and took some time off. ¡°How many times has the second young master of Mr. Liu¡¯s familymitted a crime?¡± ¡°Hey! He was born with a silver spoon, were you? It¡¯s better to just keep your head down and do your work!¡± ¡°What are you saying? Can¡¯t I get myself a silver spoon for my kids? Maybe I¡¯ll be rich one day!¡± ¡°You? Why don¡¯t you take a look at your own weight¡­¡± ¡°Alright, stop talking. After this, let¡¯s go blow some steam in the brothel, and I¡¯ll pay for this. ¡± ¡°Woof! Brother Guo is so generous! I¡­ Wait, where¡¯s the head of this corpse? Where¡¯s the head?¡± ¡°Eh? Yes, where did the head go¡­ Ah!¡± ¡­ As they were chatting, the two people behind them suddenly screamed. The jailer turned around and almost peed his pants! The headless corpse actually moved! A bone w pierced through a head, and two ws directly killed the two jailers who were carrying him. ¡°Ghost! A ghost!¡± The head jailer screamed in fear and scrambled to escape. However, he had only taken a few steps when a blood-red skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him. The distance between the two was too close, and he was running too fast. He could not stop in time and directly crashed into it! The red skeleton did not move an inch after being hit. From a distance, a red skull flew over. He grabbed it in his hand and pressed it against his neck. With that, aplete skeleton was pieced together. This scene scared the hell out of the jailer. He looked at Su Mu, who had turned into a bloody skeleton, with a dull expression. His crotch was wet, and a foul smell filled the air. This time, Su Mu didn¡¯t want to waste any more time with him. With a wave of his hand, his neck shattered, and he was killed in an instant. Within a few breaths, Su Mu had killed all of the jailers. This was just the beginning of his n. ¡­ The world was a vast ce. There were countless experts about! It would not be easy to save Xu Congwu¡¯s family. If Su Mu had directly broken into the prison and rescued Xu Congwu, it would have caused a hugemotion and he would not have been able to leave Yanjing. Therefore, Su Mu had toe up with a n. He deliberately yed along with the executioner and became a ¡°dead man¡± after being beheaded. In this way, even if they investigated further after the incident, they would not be able to trace it back to him, a ¡®dead man¡¯, for a while. If it wasn¡¯t for Su Mu¡¯s cooperation, how could a third-rate warrior cut his neck? He had used one of his heads to warn the executioner to make him behave. Su Mu felt that he seemed to have noticed something, and if he didn¡¯t scare him, he might go out and say something. Now, the first step of the n had beenpleted. The next step was to break into the prison. ¡­ A gust of chilly wind blew past, and Su Mu disappeared from his original spot. He melded into the darkness and quickly made his way to the death cell where Xu Congwu was locked up. The prison was located in the northern corner of the city. It was rather remote. The prison was guarded by a first-rate warrior and a few second-rate warriors beneath him. Su Mu was not concerned about the second-rates. So, when he returned to the prison in the north of the city, he went straight to the head warden. In a rather luxurious room, a burly man was sleeping soundly on the bed. The table at the side was scattered with delicious food. Suddenly, his facial muscles twitched, and he opened his eyes. ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Warden Zuo Mingcheng shouted with a nervous expression. An extremely strong sense of danger woke him up from his sleep! He looked left and right, but there was no one. However, the sense of danger in Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s heart did not fade. It only grew stronger! ¡°Dammit! What¡¯s going on?¡± Cold sweat dripped down Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s forehead. His entire body tensed up. He did not dare to rx. He was ready to strike at the enemy hidden in the darkness at any given moment. ¡­ If he had reached the level of a first-rate warrior, Zuo Mingcheng was naturally not some good-for-nothing. However, the opponent he was going to face today was unusual! The candlelight flickered slightly. All of a sudden, a blood-red skeleton appeared behind Zuo Mingcheng. It hung upside down, and it aimed its two boney hands at both sides of his waist! Su Mu¡¯s appearance was too sudden. He had been silent until the moment he appeared. Even a first-rate warrior could not react in time! ¡°Ah!¡± With a scream, ten blood-colored bone ws that looked like short knives stabbed into the two sides of Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s waist. Zuo Mingcheng was in extreme pain after suffering such a heavy injury, but he was not going down without a fight. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and swung a punch! This punchnded on Su Mu¡¯s chest. However, before he was hit, his ribs retracted to the sides, opening up his chest and avoiding the attack like flowing water. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± This scene left Zuo Mingcheng dumbstruck and extremely shocked. However, what happened next was even stranger! Without waiting for him to retract his fist, the ribs stabbed into his outstretched forearm. They grew like vines and climbed up Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s arm to his body. Zuo Mingcheng felt his hair stand on end, and he tried to pull his arm out while enduring the pain in his waist. Escape! He had to escape this! This damn thing was clearly not something he could deal with. He had to quickly call the people from the demon suppressing division! However, just as Zuo Mingcheng was about to withdraw his arm, a bone-cracking sound that made one¡¯s teeth ache came from his arm! For some unknown reason, the bones in his arm had actually twisted randomly, forming a pretzel! Zuo Mingcheng couldn¡¯t bear the pain anymore and let out a shrill scream. However, his pain did notst long. The heavy injury on his arm had caused Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s spirit, Qi, and soul to copse, and he had lost the internal defense of his body. The ten bone ws that had pierced into his waist spread out wildly and soon destroyed all of his internal organs. Those bone daggers that had crawled up his body from his arms had also pierced into his vital parts, one by one. The light in Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s eyes quickly dissipated. After that, his aura vanished! In less than ten seconds, Su Mu had killed a first-rate warrior with ease. The other party didn¡¯t even put up any decent resistance. He had only attempted a punch. After this battle, Su Mu gained a rough understanding of his own strength. However, he was not satisfied. All the while, he remembered the power of the Daoist Qingxu! ¡°I wonder if the characters in the simted world really existed. ¡°If there¡¯s really a person named Qingxu, and he¡¯s still alive, I wonder how powerful he is¡­¡± Su Mu was a little surprised. At the same time, Zuo Mingcheng¡¯s screams attracted the attention of the other wardens in the death cell. Su Mu didn¡¯t say another word and immediately started killing. None of the jailers in this death cell were good people! All of them were ruthless officials! They were the minions of some big shot! Killing them was doing the world a favor. Perhaps he could even umte some Yin virtue. Chapter 20: Killing At Dawn, Deadlock Chapter 20: Killing At Dawn, Deadlock Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Mu, who had transformed into a Bloodfiend skeleton, was like a ferocious ghost demanding for blood. He was unstoppable! Even a first-rate warrior barelysted against him, let alone these second and third-rate warriors. For a time, the entirety of North City prison was filled with screams and cries of fear. Some people gave up resisting and waited for death. Some people were not as cooperative and fought to the death. Some people fled in all directions, trying to escape. But no matter what choice they made, these jailers would all face the same fate. Soon, the upper level of North City prison quieted down. All the jailers were ughtered by Su Mu! After killing them, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he reworked the fatal wounds on the corpses. This way, no one could find out what kind of moves the jailers had died in, and it was as confusing as possible. After it was still and silent again, Su Mu¡¯s flesh and blood returned to his body, and he returned to his human form. Then, he calmly entered the basement. Below was the ce where the prisoners were locked up. ¡­ ¡°Big brother, I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t take good care of my sister-inw and mu. I¡¯m sorry, big brother!¡± Before he even got close, Su Mu heard Xu Congwu¡¯s self-loathing cries. It seemed that he had not eaten the wine and meat. As expected, when he walked to the door, Su Mu saw Xu Congwu hiding in a corner. The braised meat and warm wine were still there, untouched. Su Mu helplessly sighed and said, ¡°Uncle Xu, Didn¡¯t I tell you to finish eating quickly? Why haven¡¯t you taken a single bite yet?¡± Xu Congwu raised his head and looked at him with a look of disbelief. ¡°Little Mu, you¡­ Weren¡¯t you taken and executed?¡± ¡°They¡¯re just a few jailers. They can¡¯t do anything to me. Uncle Xu, hurry up and eat. After you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll take you out.¡± Su Mu couldn¡¯t exin it to Xu Congwu, so he could only give a vague answer. When he saw that Su Mu was not dead, Xu Congwu¡¯s guilt and self-me ebbed away, even if only by a little. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said anxiously, ¡°Little Mu, my wounds run deep. Don¡¯t worry about me. ¡°Hurry up and leave this ce, the further the better! ¡°Also, the head warden of this death cell is a first-rate warrior. You must be careful when you go out.¡± Xu Congwu urged Su Mu to quickly escape, but he used his hand to cut open the shackles of the cell and strode in. After entering the cell, Su Mu brought the wine and meat to Xu Congwu and shook the medicine in his hand. ¡°Now, there are only prisoners left in this death cell. ¡°I¡¯ve already killed all the wardens, including the head warden. ¡°Here, this bottle of medicine was in the warden¡¯s room.¡± Xu Congwu was dumbfounded. ¡°You¡­ What do you mean? They¡¯re all dead?¡± Xu Congwu couldn¡¯t imagine how his nephew, who used to be weak and had a mediocre martial cultivation, could pull this off. He actually had the ability and the courage to do such a thing! This was¡­ Great! ¡­ Su Muforted Xu Congwu while applying medicine, ¡°Uncle Xu, don¡¯t think too much about it. Just listen to me. ¡°I¡¯ll save Aunt and Xiaoxue after I¡¯ve gotten you out of here and settled you down. ¡°In short, just listen to my arrangements.¡± When Su Mu mentioned his wife and daughter, Xu Congwu¡¯s eyes lit up a little. Although he didn¡¯t know how Su Mu did it, he could hear a strong sense of confidence from Su Mu¡¯s words. Perhaps¡­ He could really do it. Xu Congwu felt a glimmer of hope. He didn¡¯t think about it anymore and started to eat the meat and wine in big mouthfuls. After all, he was a second-rate warrior, and his body was robust. After the wine and meat went down his stomach and they dressed his wounds, Xu Congwu was able to move again. Su Mu unlocked the heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and took out two sets of clothes he had stolen from outside. After the uncle and nephew pair changed out of their prison uniforms, they quietly left the death prison. When they arrived at the first floor, the strong smell of blood made Xu Congwu¡¯s heart tremble. This nephew of his was ruthless! However, in this world, there was no ce for weak and honest people. This death prison was like a purgatory. All the jailers were evil men. No one knew how many prisoners they had tortured to death. There was no way out. It was better to kill than be killed! ¡­ ¡°Little Mu, I know of a sparsely popted Memorial Hall nearby. We can hide there.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After leaving the prison, Su Mu sneaked into a Memorial Hall under Xu Congwu¡¯s suggestion. This was the most remote ce in Yanjing. Otherwise, the mortuary wouldn¡¯t have been set up here. No one would find them even if they remained there for a few days. ¡°Uncle Xu, stay here and recuperate. I¡¯ll go and save Auntie and Xiaoxue now.¡± After Su Mu settled Xu Congwu down, he prepared to leave. Xu Congwu pulled him back and said in a trembling voice, ¡°If you can save them, then save them. If you can¡¯t¡­ Then just protect yourself. ¡°Remember, your life is the most important!¡± Su Mu said nothing. He just patted his hand, indicating for him to rest assured. Then, with a leap, he disappeared into the darkness. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù After leaving the mortuary, Su Mu did not go to save Xu Congwu¡¯s wife and daughter. Instead, he returned to the prison and quietly opened all the cell doors. Very soon, a prisoner noticed this. This was fine. After a few prisoners sneaked up to the upper level, they found that all the guards had been killed! In other words, they could leave this ce unimpeded! The great news almost made these prisoners faint. They cheered and were extremely excited. Soon, these prisoners escaped one by one, each escaping to different ces. No one noticed that a pair of eyes had been watching them in the dark! After all the prisoners had left, Su Mu walked out from the darkness. He cleaned up the scene and erased all traces that might expose him and Xu Congwu before he left with a peace of mind. Releasing all the prisoners was also part of Su Mu¡¯s n. If he and Xu Congwu were the only ones who had escaped, they would be too obvious a target. Su Mu first turned himself into a convincingly ¡°dead man¡± before releasing all the prisoners. This way, he could muddy the waters and help him buy as much time as possible. It was a pity that the prisoners in this death cell were all second or third-rate martial artists, and there were no experts. Furthermore, they were tortured to the point of being half-dead, and none of them were in any shape to fight. If there were no outsiders to receive them, it would not take too much time to capture them. Five days! Su Mu had to save Xu Congwu¡¯s wife and daughter within five days, and then find an opportunity to leave Yanjing. Otherwise, it would be difficult! ¡­ Su Mu didn¡¯t waste any time. After leaving the prison, he went straight to the ce where Xu Congwu¡¯s wife and daughter had been imprisoned. Xu Congwu¡¯s wife, Du Wanrong, and daughter, Xu Qingxue, were caught up by their matters and were thrown into a women¡¯s prison. After a period of time, the women would be repurposed, and may even end up as prostitutes in the camp! This aunt of his had treated him quite well. Su Mu couldn¡¯t let such a tragedy happen! However, when Su
