All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 19 Blood and Qi Arrive at the Door, Corpse Transformation!
"Three?"

Zhou Qing asked Qing Si Gu to confirm the number of people and their approximate location, and immediately came up with a plan.

"Could it be Zhang Cheng and his two men?"

If it really was those three who deliberately followed me up the mountain so early in the morning, they clearly had ulterior motives.

It doesn't matter how you kill someone who wants to harm you.

"Erqing, you're in for a treat today." Zhou Qing hardened his heart.

"Puff puff!!!" The Green Silk Gu was very excited. As far as it was concerned, anything Zhou Qing allowed it to eat was food.

Zhou Qing quickly ran towards the mountainside, his body weaving through the bushes.

There is still a risk of being discovered when committing murder at the foot of a mountain or in the foothills.

Even in broad daylight, most areas above the mountainside are shrouded in miasma, making them sparsely populated and easier to dispose of corpses.

Last time, there were no conditions to dispose of Zhang Dahai's body in the town, but now that it's in the mountains, the murder and burial can be done in one go.

"Erqing, do you want to eat the corpse?" Zhou Qing asked in his mind as he ran.

"Pfft!!" The Green Silk Gu was furious, indicating that it looked down on who it was. It only absorbed essence blood and had no interest in the rest of the garbage.

"Alright, she's quite picky about food." Zhou Qing clicked her tongue, running faster and faster, making more noise.

Although Black Wind Mountain is not considered a high mountain among the surrounding mountains, its altitude still exceeds three thousand meters.

For Zhang Cheng, who doesn't climb mountains often, climbing several hundred meters in one go was exhausting.

As for his two henchmen, they were panting heavily, leaning against the tree trunk to rest.

"Damn it! Is that little bastard Zhou Qing born in the Year of the Rabbit? How can he run so fast?"

Zhang Cheng stared at the endless bushes and weeds in front of him, his vision completely obstructed.

"Brother Cheng, what do we do now?" one of the men asked as he removed the burrs stuck to his clothes and hair.

"Brother Cheng, I heard things are getting tense up up here lately. There are poisonous insects everywhere. Why don't we go down the mountain first and ambush him there?"

The man, whose wrist was almost broken by Zhou Qing yesterday, was a little scared.

"What are you afraid of? That little bastard is just one person, and there are three of us! Once he breaks through and becomes a martial artist, do you think he'll let us go? Remember this! The more grateful someone is, the more vengeful they are!"

Zhang Cheng reprimanded in a low voice.

Yesterday, upon hearing that Zhou Qing had taken the old woman home to repay her kindness in providing him with a meal, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

If the truth about the third brother killing Zhou Xian is exposed, the eldest brother, with the Zhao family's background, can still protect himself, but he will be finished.

Besides, being targeted by a martial artist who has broken through his cultivation level, how could one possibly have a peaceful life?

If it were him, he wouldn't give himself a way out.

So before dawn, Zhang Cheng found two of his underlings and had them wait outside the town.

Once Zhou Qing reaches the mountain, kill him there and bury the body on the spot.

"Find him for me! If I don't kill this little bastard today, I'll kill both of you!"

Zhang Cheng's face was gloomy, and the grotesque, centipede-like scar on his face trembled.

"Yes!"

The two henchmen trembled and had no choice but to obey.

After all, Zhang Cheng had practiced martial arts for a few days. Although he hadn't broken through to the Skin Refining Realm, he could handle the two of them unarmed.

The three men, each carrying a machete, moved forward cautiously.

It was already bright outside, but not much sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves of the tall, dense forest.

The higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes and the lower the visibility.

"Um?!"

After walking for a while, Zhang Cheng suddenly saw a basket sticking out from the edge of the bushes ahead. He immediately winked at his two henchmen beside him.

The two understood each other and split up, one on the left and one on the right, to surround the enemy.

The three of them carefully stepped on the fallen leaves piled up on the ground, trying not to make a sound.

"Die!"

When the man on the left reached the edge of the bushes, he suddenly jumped in and unleashed a flurry of Xia Ji Ba Da Dao Fa techniques with his machete.

Whoosh!
As he cut down the bushes in front of him, a black centipede more than a foot long suddenly darted out. As it opened and closed its mouthparts, it sprayed out a pool of blackish-red venom, which hit him right in the eyes.

"Ah! My eyes!!"

The excruciating pain caused the man to let out a piercing scream.

The men who had surrounded them from the right were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

"what!"

Suddenly, Zhang Cheng's scream came from beside him.

The man looked over in horror, only to see a person suddenly emerge from the pile of fallen leaves under a large tree, blood dripping from the sickle in his hand.

It was Zhou Qing!
Zhang Cheng's face was contorted as he limped against a large tree behind him. Blood was gushing from his right Achilles tendon, clearly severed by Zhou Qing's sneak attack with a sickle.

"what!"

Seeing Zhou Qing charging towards Zhang Cheng with a sickle in hand, the man mustered his courage and raised his machete to slash at Zhou Qing's neck.

Bang!
As if Zhou Qing had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly turned around and threw a handful of lime into the air.

"Ahhh!"

The man reacted quickly, but a small amount of lime still got into his eye. He immediately felt a burning pain in his eye, wildly waving his machete in front of him and letting out terrified screams. When he wiped the small amount of lime off his right eyelid and squinted with one eye, he saw a scene that chilled him to the bone.

Zhang Cheng, who was leaning against the tree trunk, trembled violently. In just a short while, his face had turned bluish-black.

Zhou Qing swung his sickle, the crescent tip of which pierced Zhang Cheng's neck, causing blood to spurt out.

The man looked at Zhou Qing, whose expression was calm. It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying expression on the face of a boy who still looked somewhat young. Killing seemed to him as simple as slaughtering pigs and dogs.

The man glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other man's eyes were ulcerated, his skin was black, and he was lying stiffly on the ground, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

"what!"

He was terrified and his soul was about to leave his body. He threw away the machete in his hand and scrambled down the mountain, screaming in terror as he ran.

As he fled, he kept looking back.

But then he saw Zhou Qing standing in the mist, holding a sickle, looking at him with cold eyes, as if he had no intention of chasing him at all.

"Gudu~Gudu~"

The Green Silk Gu swallowed the burly man's essence blood in large gulps, and its once muscular body quickly withered away.

Immediately afterwards, the Green Silk Gu burrowed into Zhang Cheng's body and began to devour his essence and blood.

"Glug~ Glug~!"

Zhang Cheng's blood and energy were far stronger than the other person's.

Soon, Zhang Cheng's body also withered and collapsed into the pile of fallen leaves.

The Green Silk Gu returned to Zhou Qing's body.

"Hiss~" Zhou Qing closed his eyes, enjoying the blood and energy brought by the Green Silk Gu.

The tiny, hair-like energy within his chest was rapidly growing stronger.

"Humans really do have a strong survival instinct."

Zhou Qing stared in the direction the last person had fled. The person had been pierced by the poisonous threads of the Green Silk Gu, yet he had run away as if nothing had happened for a short time.

Unfortunately, unless one is a martial artist who has broken through to the next level, they absolutely cannot withstand the poison of the Green Silk Gu.

"Pfft!"

The Green Silk Gu urged it to eat.

Looking at the corpses of Zhang Cheng and the other burly man, Zhou Qing knew he could only deal with them later.

Before leaving, he stole the valuables from the two men and then carried a basket to chase after the last person.

"Splash!"

He had only chased after them for a few hundred steps when a strange noise suddenly came from the tree above his head.

Looking up, the first thing you see is the swaying legs and the body that's been swallowed halfway into someone's mouth.

It was a giant python, over ten meters long, coiled around a tree trunk, forcefully swallowing Zhou Qing's spoils.

"puff--!!!"

The round body of the Green Silk Gu appeared on Zhou Qing's shoulder, its beady eyes flashing with ferocity.

thump!
Seemingly sensing a threat, the giant python spat out the corpse, its golden vertical pupils fixed on the palm-sized Green Silk Gu, its body swaying on the tree trunk, assuming an attack stance.

"!" Zhou Qing's hair stood on end, and he gripped the sickle tightly in his hand.

Since the Green Silk Gu must be fought, as the eldest brother, he naturally cannot back down.

"Hey~!"

Just as a great battle was about to break out, a cry of an eagle came from the sky above the treetops.

A bald eagle with a wingspan of over four meters swooped down and opened its sharp talons to grab the giant python's vital spot.

Despite having a significant size advantage, the giant python chose to flee immediately, swimming deeper into the jungle.

Seeing this, the white-headed eagle only glanced at the Green Silk Gu before chasing after it.

"Whoo~"

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Qing Si Gu was somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, alright, don't be too greedy," Zhou Qing comforted him.

The Green Silk Gu then burrowed into the big man's body, enjoying the last of his essence and blood.

Once the Green Silk Gu had drained the big man into a dried corpse, Zhou Qing dug up the soft soil on the spot and buried his body.

When he returned to his previous position, he found that the area was already shrouded in bright yellow miasma.

"Hmm? Why is the miasma spreading so quickly today?"

Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened.

"That's good, saves me the trouble of burying the body."

Zhou Qing weighed the six qian of silver coins he had taken from the three men in his hand and hurried towards the mountain stream to wash off the bloodstains.

"puff!"

Less than half an hour after Zhou Qing left, a withered and blackened hand suddenly emerged from the pile of fallen leaves covered in miasma.
