Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: The Ascended Elder (Additional 39)

The spacious hall was filled with corpses. From the clothing, it could be seen that these people were those who had entered the cemetery after it was opened.

Around the corpses, there were also many humanoid monsters. They were called humanoid monsters because they were extremely ugly, with bloody exteriors that looked like people whose skins had been removed, and were very terrifying.

Moreover, they were emitting the aura of martial artists. The weakest of them was at the level of Spirit Martial Sixth, but several of them were already at Spirit Martial Ninth.

At this moment, these strange monsters were gnawing on the flesh of the corpses, and were even more cruel and terrifying than fierce beasts.

Most importantly, there were hundreds of these strange monsters, almost occupying every corner of the hall. So, if one wanted to reach the other end of the hall, unless a Yuan Martial Realm powerhouse arrived, even a Spirit Martial Ninth-level expert would have a high chance of encountering danger.

"These are blood corpses. There are so many of them. This... this is too cruel!"

At this moment, Su Meiy covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes widened round, filled with an overwhelming shock.

"Su Mei, do you know about these things?"

Chu Feng was equally shocked. Through his spiritual energy observation, he could notice that these monsters, apart from having lost their skins, were almost identical to humans in every part of their bodies. This mostly indicated that these monsters were evolved from humans.

"There is a kind of poison in the world called blood poison. This blood poison is formed by refining thousands of strange poisons."

"Once someone swallows this poison and doesn't have an antidote, they will be deprived of their mental faculties within half an hour, and from then on, they will no longer be immortal or alive, becoming a killing tool like a walking corpse. Because after the transformation, their skins will be removed, and they will be covered only with bloody muscles, thus being called blood corpses."

"Some people, to prevent their cemeteries from being stolen, will use this poison to create blood corpses and place them in their cemeteries. Unexpectedly... unexpected that there are so many blood corpses here. The owner of this cemetery is too cruel."

After Su Mei finished telling, everyone gasped in horror. Turning living people into such monsters was indeed a very cruel method.

"Then, Su Mei, do you know what these guys are like?"

Chu Feng and the others stood outside the hall. The blood corpses could clearly see them, but they did not attack them. However, the people in the hall were obviously killed by the blood corpses, so Chu Feng thought that these blood corpses were not complete humans and must have some kind of weakness.

"The blood corpses have no eyes, no intelligence, only the desire for killing. They use their sense of smell to distinguish food and fellow creatures. Any creature within their sense range, whether it is a fellow creature or not, will be mercilessly hunted by them." Su Mei said.

"You mean they distinguish friend or foe by smell?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Su Mei nodded in response.

"If so, I have a way to get through." Chu Feng smiled.

"What way?" Hearing him say this, everyone was extremely excited. The only way was a dead end here, but if Chu Feng really had a way to get through, then what awaited them would be a huge treasure.

"Just a thought. Whether it works or not, it needs to be verified. You wait here for me."

After saying this, Chu Feng stepped into the hall and concentrated his breath, using the Taoist technique to run towards a Spirit Martial Sixth-level blood corpse and dash towards it.

"Woah!"

Just as Chu Feng was ten meters away from the blood corpse, the blood corpse suddenly let out a low growl like that of a wild beast, bared its teeth, and suddenly rose up, like a hungry tiger attacking its prey, rushing towards Chu Feng.

"Swish swish" However, only to see Chu Feng's arm swinging, with a flash of cold light, the complete blood corpse was cut into pieces and scattered everywhere, and the blood corpse was very strange. Even though it was covered in bloody flesh, after being cut apart, it did not splash a single drop of blood.

"This guy is so terrifying." Looking at the neat cuts on the blood corpses, and then at Chu Feng's palm, Bai Tong and others gasped in shock.

Although at their level of cultivation, the physical body is indeed as tough as steel, and ordinary weapons can hardly hurt them at all, yet someone like Chu Feng, who uses his palm as a blade and makes it so sharp, is truly rare. At least at their level, such cases are almost non-existent.

However, after Chu Feng made the next move, they were completely shocked. They saw Chu Feng successively slay several blood corpses, and then tie the blood corpses' clothes to his waist and legs.

"What is Chu Feng doing? He actually uses blood corpses, it's so disgusting....." As a girl, Zhang Tingzi covered her mouth with both hands, unable to bear it.

"Keep watching, he definitely has his own thoughts." However, Su Mei stared at Chu Feng intently, waiting for his next move.

And at this moment, an astonishing scene occurred. Chu Feng actually took steps and ran wildly, and his target was the center of the large hall full of blood corpses.

This frightened Su Mei and others. The blood corpses in the center of the hall were very powerful, several of them had already reached the ninth level of spirit martial arts. If they attacked together, even Chu Feng would be instantly killed. He was simply taking his own life.

But the next moment, they were even more shocked because they were astonished to find that Chu Feng was moving through the group of blood corpses, and the blood corpses actually ignored Chu Feng, as if they couldn't smell his presence at all.

"I know, it's using the smell of the blood corpses to cover its own scent, thus avoiding being detected by the blood corpses," finally, Su Mei said in surprise.

"Is that so? This method, he must have been able to come up with it." At the same time, the others also suddenly understood, and their faces showed expressions of admiration.

After that, everyone used Chu Feng's method to successfully avoid the blood corpses and finally safely reached the other end of the hall, finally being able to continue to advance.

After walking one kilometer along the passage, a stone gate appeared in front of them, and when they pushed it open, Chu Feng and others were overjoyed.

At this moment, what appeared before them was a huge cave, very wide, up to a hundred feet high, seemingly a rock world, and the rocks here were very special, emitting a greenish glow, magnificent and very beautiful.

However, they could only admire the beauty of the cave and couldn't touch the rocks because at this moment, they were on a cliff.

At the top of that cliff, there was a ten-meter-tall stone tablet, and on that tablet, several lines of large characters were written in dragon and phoenix dance:

"I began practicing martial arts at the age of 10, entered the Yuanwu realm at 16, the Xuanwu realm at 25, and by the age of 40, I had reached the ninth layer of the Xuanwu realm. However, despite being over a hundred years old, I still couldn't grasp the profoundness of that martial art. Eventually, I was unable to step into the Tianwu realm and couldn't experience the feeling of soaring through the sky."

"I didn't regret it. I spent decades painstakingly studying and finally created the martial art technique 'Flying Through the Air', which I can use to travel through the air without touching the ground. I can experience the mystery of walking through the clouds and the sky."

"The Flying Through the Air technique is my heart's blood. Many people wanted to learn it, but I refused them all. Now, the Flying Through the Air technique is in my tomb. You can come and take it. But my heart's blood is not something ordinary people can learn. If you want to obtain the Flying Through the Wind technique, it depends on your strength."

"It's him!" After reading the words on the tombstone, Su Mei was shocked.

"Su Mei, do you know him?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

But before Su Mei could speak, Bai Tong spoke first: "If I'm not mistaken, this senior is the first martial arts master in Qingzhou who dominated the region a hundred years ago, the Flying Through the Air Old Man."
