All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 112 Slaughter in the Snow (Second Update)
"I'll replace it for you right now." Zhou Qing held the wooden cauldron in his hand, poured his true energy into it, and then aimed it at the Corpse Worm Gu King, sucking it in.

The wooden king cauldron has its own space inside, about half the size of a single bedroom.

Its activity space is much larger than that of the leather bag gu.

"Not nearly as considerate as the Second Youth League."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly as he examined the Corpse Worm Gu King within the Wooden King Cauldron using his true qi.

It became extremely resistant to being put into the leather bag Gu just a few days after the Corpse Worm Gu King was put inside.

Especially on the night of the full moon a few days ago, the Corpse Worm Gu King was replenished with the power of the moon, and it basically recovered its strength. As a result, it was not as obedient to Zhou Qing as before.

A top-tier first-order Gu worm is really hard to control.

"Ah Qing! Ah Qing!"

Xu Lin's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

Zhou Qing shrunk the wooden king cauldron, put it into the leather bag Gu, and walked out of the room.

Xu Lin rushed over.

"What happened?" Zhou Qing stepped forward.

"My third senior brother wants to see you! Come with me quickly!" Xu Lin's tone was somewhat urgent.

"My third senior brother is looking for me?" Zhou Qing was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The two walked out of the courtyard, through the corridor, and hurried from the west wing to the east wing.

Ma Wenchun stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black training uniform, his posture upright, showing no sign of illness.

Hearing footsteps, Ma Wenchun turned around. His eyes were bright but his expression was reserved, and he had a smile on his face, which was completely different from his usual honest and simple demeanor.

"Senior Brother Ma, you?!" Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Ma Wenchun looked much better; he was worried rather than happy.

Two days ago, Ma Wenchun was already on the verge of death, spending most of his day in a daze, but now he looks full of energy.

Unless it's a life-or-death situation, it's an elixir that can heal flesh and bone.

Otherwise, even the most precious medicines and rare herbs wouldn't have such miraculous effects.

He probably used some secret technique or drug to stimulate potential and vitality.

"I promised to teach you the White Cloud Serpent Palm a few days ago, but I haven't been feeling well, so I've been putting it off until now. I happen to have some free time today, so let me see if Fifth Junior Brother has been teaching you diligently."

Ma Wenchun smiled gently.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, He Zhongdong came out of the room and nodded solemnly to Zhou Qing.

"Third Senior Brother, please enlighten me." Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing stood opposite Ma Wenchun and bowed respectfully.

"Okay." Ma Wenchun nodded with a smile.

"Kaka!"

As he circulated his qi and blood, all the muscles in his body swelled up, and his fitted training clothes bulged out of the bulging muscles, with the fine sounds of fascia stretching constantly emanating from them.

Ma Wenchun suddenly transformed from a somewhat thin, middle-aged man into a muscular man with explosive muscles all over his body.

"Be careful!"

Ma Wenchun struck out with his palm, which, as large as a palm leaf fan, gleamed with a metallic luster as if cast with molten iron. The air around his palm distorted slightly, forming ripples that resembled tangible objects.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful.

Even though he knew Ma Wenchun was giving him pointers, Zhou Qing still didn't dare to confront him head-on. He leaped back and dodged the palm strike.

However, Ma Wenchun missed his first strike, and his speed suddenly increased by a level.

It was as if someone had suddenly shoved him from behind.

Originally, the distance between them and Zhou Qing was several meters, but in an instant, it was reduced to less than a foot.

The sharp wind from the palm strike ruffled Zhou Qing's hair.

Seeing that retreating was not an option, he immediately used the Lightning Speed ​​Step, touching the ground with his left toe as he retreated, shifting his weight to the heel of his right foot, and instantly falling to the right at a 45-degree angle.

Ma Wenchun's palm missed its mark, and he immediately followed up with a downward strike.

Whoosh!
With his body tilted 45 degrees to the right, Zhou Qing then rotated 180 degrees to the back. Immediately afterward, he pushed off the ground repeatedly and retreated more than ten meters in one breath.

"Impressive footwork!" Ma Wenchun's eyes lit up, filled with admiration.

Xu Lin, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhou Qing, who broke through to the Body Refining Realm a few months later than him, would have such strength.

If it were him, he would probably have been knocked down the moment his third senior brother struck with the first palm.

"It was Third Senior Brother who showed mercy," Zhou Qing said solemnly, his eyes subtly changing the next moment.

Although Ma Wenchun had a gentle smile on his face, his aura gradually became violent.

A faint black smoke emanated from his body. As the smoke left his body, it seemed to be twisted by an invisible force, making it look like a writhing black snake.

boom!
Ma Wenchun moved; his seemingly ordinary palm strike actually tore through the air, producing a loud bang.

Zhou Qing's expression changed drastically. The power of this attack made him feel as if he were facing Lin Tianzheng.

'Can I catch it?'

Under the deadly threat, a ridiculous idea suddenly arose in Zhou Qing's mind.

He unleashed his full power with the Lightning Speed ​​Step, his figure flashing and leaping across the courtyard.

However, Ma Wenchun was like a ghost, able to catch up with Zhou Qing no matter how fast he was.

"what!"

Under this immense pressure, Zhou Qing unleashed his full power, merging his Azure Water True Qi and Azure Wood True Qi into one.

Having completed the external three harmonies, Zhou Qing concentrated all his strength in his right hand, along with the newly mastered internal energy, and unleashed it all at once.

boom!
Zhou Qing's body flew backward and crashed heavily into a pillar in the corridor.

An invisible force enveloped him, and it seemed as if every pore on his body was permeated by this force.

An indescribable feeling filled his entire body, and his right sleeve was torn to shreds.

Zhou Qing felt that his right arm was completely numb, starting from the palm of his right hand and extending to his right shoulder, and he lost all feeling in it.

He looked closely and saw that blood was seeping from under the skin of his entire right arm.

"Practice until your physique resembles a tiger, and you will possess an unparalleled, domineering power."

Ma Wenchun's calm voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Third Senior Brother?!" Zhou Qing got up, then suddenly froze. Ma Wenchun stood there, a smile on his face, blood streaming from his seven orifices.

"Third Senior Brother?!"

Zhou Qing rushed forward, only to find that Ma Wenchun had already died.

"Actually, among all the disciples Master took in before, the third senior brother was the one with the highest talent and the strongest strength."
He simultaneously cultivated the Silk Reeling Force and the Tiger Demon Force, and also wanted to combine the White Snake Form and the Fierce Tiger Form into one, mastering the Dragon-Tiger Dual Form.

If it weren't for Chen Hong's incident, he might have actually succeeded.

Even on his deathbed, he was thinking of letting us experience the power of the two forces combined.

Sixth Junior Brother, you mustn't let him down!

He Zhongdong's voice was choked with emotion.

Looking at the smile on Ma Wenchun's face, Zhou Qing, the "Third Senior Brother," felt a tightness in his chest.

He stepped forward to close Ma Wenchun's eyes and bowed deeply.

"Third Senior Brother!!" Xu Lin, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Zhou Qing clenched his fist.

At that moment, a few glistening snowflakes drifted down from the sky, their cool touch landing on Zhou Qing's face.

He looked up at the sky, where more and more snowflakes were falling.

A few of them caught his eye.

Zhou Qing blinked, and the snowflakes melted in his eye sockets.

It snowed all day and hasn't stopped yet.

The cold wind howled, and the chill penetrated to the bone.

Snowflakes fell gently, covering the entire mountainside.

As night fell, under the cool moonlight, the mountains were enveloped in the heavy darkness and the white snow, their once clear outlines gradually becoming blurred, and everything was silvery white.

Click
Click
A figure draped in a white cloak appeared outside the grove of false persimmon trees, stepping through the snow.

The bare tree trunks cast deep black silhouettes, overlapping with the shadows of people under the cold moon.

Zhou Qing looked up at Black Wind Mountain.

The biting wind whipped up snowflakes that drifted in the air, and the mountain paths were covered in ice and snow, revealing a desolate scene that was completely different from usual.

He lifted his foot and walked towards the mountainside, but the clear footprints that stretched towards the summit were quickly covered by the falling snow.

On the southern slope of Black Wind Mountain, halfway up the mountain.

Inside the cave where the cold pool is located.

A dozen or so members of the Witch God Cult placed their weapons against the wall and gathered around a large cauldron, gazing longingly at the wild goat inside, which was gradually emitting a meaty aroma.

"Damn it! This freezing weather is killing me!"

"Have a bowl of mutton soup to warm up, then you'll have to go on patrol later, that's where the real danger lies!"

"What are you complaining about! The mission will be over in a few days when the Holy Maiden and the Protector arrive."

"Hurry up and eat! Stop talking nonsense!"

Several members of the Witch God Cult complained, quite dissatisfied, that they would have to patrol in the snowy night later.

As time went on, the aroma of the broth grew stronger, especially after the addition of spices, which whetted everyone's appetite.

"Sanji, where did you get those spices from, kid?"

"This smells amazing! I could drink three big bowls of soup even if it were made with stones!"

"It's just ordinary pepper." The young man whose name was called looked puzzled.

"No! They must have added something else!" The old man, who had dipped his chopsticks in the soup, said with a slight change in expression.

"It also contains the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Powder." A cold voice rang out.

"Who goes there?!" Everyone was shocked and looked around, but they couldn't find anyone.

"what!!"

However, the next moment, a scream rang out.

The old man who had just been drinking the soup opened his mouth wide and forcefully ripped open the clothes in front of his chest.

A bulge appeared on his rough-skinned chest.

Then the second, the third
The bulge appeared rapidly.

It's as if something is growing out.

The old man's expression became increasingly ferocious, distorted, and pained.

But his throat felt like it was being squeezed, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Bam—"

With a series of muffled thuds, the bulge on the old man's chest finally burst open.

Twelve long, narrow, sharp, crescent-shaped claws, along with viscous blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, forcibly 'grew' out of the old man's chest cavity.

This scene terrified the others, and those who had been eagerly vying for the soup earlier began to gag violently.

"Pfft!!"

The old man's pain did not last long; his entire chest cavity suddenly burst open.

A black beetle the size of a washbasin burst from its chest, its six pairs of sharp pincers spread out like daggers, and its body transformed into a black shadow as it charged toward the nearest youth.

"what!!"

"what!"

The screams of agony echoed throughout the cave.

Terrified, the group ran straight out of the cave.

What greeted them was a glint of blades colder than the snowy night.

"what!"

Silence quickly returned to the cave.
