Chapter 47 Breakthrough from Desperate Circumstances! The Power of Immortal Bones!
"Heh, is that so?"
Shi Lei chuckled coldly, a hint of amusement flashing across his face. "Fellow Daoist Su, don't you feel that the flow of spiritual energy is somewhat blocked?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's expression hardened slightly. Sure enough, after carefully examining his body, he discovered that the circulation of spiritual energy was somewhat difficult, and it was even unable to condense, becoming extremely scattered.
"poison!"
Only now did he realize that Shi Lei had already planted a poison in the room that could restrain cultivators!
"Heh! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Su, you answered correctly. Too bad, there's no reward!" Shi Lei's smile was particularly sinister as he coldly said, "What a pity, Fellow Daoist Su, if you had honestly served me, how could you have ended up like this? In that case, I'll gladly accept your spirit bone!"
boom--
He finished speaking.
Shi Lei unleashed a torrent of blood energy, shouting, "Blood Fiend Soul-Snatching Hand!"
The shout hadn't even finished.
Shi Lei's blood surged, sweeping outwards and shaking the tables and chairs!
Su Mu forcibly activated the scattered spiritual energy within his body, but he only felt as if his meridians were being cut by a blunt knife. The spiritual energy dissipated as soon as it gathered, and he could not even operate the most basic defensive techniques.
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice, staring intently at Shi Lei, watching his every move.
At this moment, a jet-black blood light condensed in Shi Lei's palm. Between his five fingers, the blood-fiend energy condensed into sharp claw shadows, which, with a sharp sound that tore through the void, rushed straight towards Su Mu's heart!
Clearly, he wanted to pierce through his spiritual veins in one strike and take away his spiritual bone!
Just then, a beautiful figure in red appeared from behind Shi Lei like a ghost. Her crimson lips held a cold smile, and her soft sword was drawn from its sheath with a clang, the blade gleaming with a poisoned, eerie blue light.
"Master, I am here to lend you a hand!"
Her figure was elusive, her footwork unpredictable, and she exuded the aura of a fifth-realm grandmaster without reservation. Her inner strength and bloodlust intertwined, creating a double suppression.
The soft sword, like a serpent spitting its tongue, pierced straight at Su Mu's vital point in his dantian. The sword wind was fierce, sealing off all his escape routes.
Su Mu's heart sank. With his dantian injured, there was no chance of recovery. He gritted his teeth and turned to the side, barely avoiding the sword tip, but was still hit on the shoulder by the sword wind. His skin was torn open and the wound turned bluish-black instantly, and the poison spread wildly along the wound.
"Hide? Where can you hide?"
Amidst Shi Lei's sinister laughter, the Blood Fiend Claw Shadow surged once more, overwhelming everything in its path. Wherever the bloody light passed, tables and chairs instantly turned to ashes.
Chi Lian circled behind Su Mu, her soft sword swirling in layers of sword flowers, her energy locking in the flow of his spiritual energy, making his already blocked meridians even more sluggish.
Su Mu's back was soaked with cold sweat. On the verge of life and death, he could clearly feel his immortal bones burning inside his body, as if resisting the bloodthirsty energy.
But right now he can barely protect himself. Chi Lian's Grandmaster-level energy is like a leech clinging to his bones, and Shi Lei's Blood Fiend Martial Arts are deadly in every move. Under the double attack, he can only dodge in a sorry state, his wounds keep increasing, and his spiritual energy is becoming more and more depleted.
"Fellow Daoist Su, stop struggling!"
Shi Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His Blood Fiend Soul-Snatching Hand, imbued with the power of his life's cultivation, crashed down like a small mountain. "Hand over the spirit bone, and I'll let you die a quick death!"
Chi Lian also launched an attack simultaneously, her soft sword pointing directly at the back of his head. The dark blue sword light caused Su Mu's pupils to shrink suddenly, and the shadow of death completely enveloped Su Mu!
At the critical moment!
Suddenly, the immortal bones within Su Mu's body erupted with dazzling golden light, and a powerful aura far surpassing anything before broke through the shackles of his physical body, instantly sweeping over his entire body!
That aura was domineering and incomparable, completely ignoring the toxins spreading in the body and fiercely impacting the blocked meridians.
"Buzz—"
Su Mu's storage bag at his waist suddenly trembled, and the opening of the bag opened by itself. More than two thousand spirit stones poured out like streams of light, densely floating around him.
Before Shi Lei's bloodthirsty claw shadow could reach him, the Immortal Bone released an extremely strong suction force. The spirit stones instantly shattered, and the incomparably pure spiritual energy surged into Su Mu's body like a flood bursting its banks, rushing wildly along his meridians.
The meridians, which were originally corroded and blocked like abandoned ditches by toxins, were opened up and widened at a speed visible to the naked eye under the dual impact of violent spiritual energy and immortal bone aura.
The toxins remaining in the meridians were expelled from the body by the spiritual energy, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating. The pain that felt like being cut by a dull knife disappeared instantly, replaced by a comfortable feeling that flowed freely throughout the body.
"This is……"
Shi Lei's sinister smile froze on his face. His Blood Fiend Claw Shadow was less than half a foot away from Su Mu, but it was forced to stop by the golden light bursting from the Immortal Bone. The Blood Fiend Qi melted away like ice and snow meeting fire.
The soft sword that Chi Lian was aiming for Su Mu's head was also deflected by the shockwave. The sword vibrated violently, making her arm, a fifth-realm grandmaster, numb and sore.
Su Mu's spiritual energy grew increasingly dense, eventually condensing into a tangible cocoon of light that enveloped him. His cultivation level steadily increased, easily breaking through the barrier of the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. The spiritual energy frantically tempered his physical body and spiritual meridians, eventually stabilizing at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm!
He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light in them that replaced his previous dishevelment and despair, leaving only a cold, sharp glint.
"Impossible! How could you have broken through?!"
Shi Lei roared in anger. The poison he had laid out was enough to suppress a cultivator at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, but Su Mu had managed to break through it.
Su Mu raised his hand and waved it, the remaining spiritual energy around him transformed into a blade of energy, which slashed directly at Shi Lei's blood-fiend claw shadow. With a crack, he shattered the claw shadow, and the residual force made Shi Lei retreat repeatedly, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Chi Lian's expression changed drastically. She dared not launch another attack rashly and had to retreat quickly, standing guard alongside Shi Lei. Her gaze towards Su Mu was full of apprehension.
Shi Lei clutched his bleeding chest, staring intently at the lingering spiritual aura around Su Mu. His pupils suddenly contracted, and as if remembering something, the shock and anger in his eyes were gradually replaced by extreme greed, and his breathing became heavy.
"Golden light protects the body, can strongly absorb spirit stones, and can even break my deadly poison... This is no ordinary spirit bone!"
It's the legendary immortal bone!
Chi Lian's body trembled, and her gaze toward Su Mu was filled with not only fear but also horror.
She had long heard of the legend of immortal bones, which were supreme treasures that could defy fate and help cultivators break through the shackles of their cultivation realm. They were ten thousand times more precious than ordinary spiritual bones, enough to drive countless cultivators crazy.
"Great! Excellent!"
Shi Lei's sinister laughter grew even more vicious, and his blood energy surged again. Although he was slightly injured, his killing intent was even greater than before. "Su Mu, you actually have such a treasure hidden away. I have misjudged you!"
"I initially thought it was just an ordinary spiritual bone, but now it seems I'm determined to have this immortal bone!"
He took a step forward, his body wreathed in wisps of bloodthirsty energy, and said in a threatening tone: "You think you can turn things around once you break through to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm?"
It was just a temporary burst of power thanks to his immortal bones!
"Although this immortal bone is powerful, you may not be able to fully control it, especially since you have just broken through the poison and your spiritual energy is bound to be weak!"
"Hand over your immortal bones obediently, and I might spare your life, even granting you a quick death, so you won't suffer the agony of being ground to ashes!"
Shi Lei's eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake. "If you resist, once your spiritual energy is exhausted, I will tear your flesh apart bit by bit and rip your immortal bones out of your body alive!"
Then you'll know what it means to wish you were dead!
Shi Lei licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze, a mixture of greed and murderous intent, fixed on Su Mu: "Don't think you can get away with this. This house will be your burial ground today!"
And your two wives, the finest furnace vessels, will all belong to me!
rest assured!
"After you die, I will cherish them dearly. As for you, die in peace!"
