Chu Ming flew all the way, encountering many disciples of the Celestial Travel Sect. However, since he had just joined the Celestial Travel Sect and was not well-known, these disciples merely glanced at Chu Ming from a distance before turning away.
As for those Demon Dao Martial Artists, they were all mercilessly slain by Chu Ming without any hesitation!
In a cave a hundred miles away from Chu Ming, a young man in gray robes sat cross-legged on the ground. His face was withered, his hair dry, and his eyes were tightly closed. Under his skin, streams of silver light flickered and disappeared instantly. As the silver light grew more frequent, his skin appeared deeper and more profound.
The sound of shattering rocks echoed, as the young man in gray opened his eyes. The rocks he glanced at shattered in response. The gray-robed youth slowly stood up, like a beast waking from its slumber, a fierce aura emanating from his body.
"Heh heh heh, the Silver Corpse Technique has reached Great Success. Now even Chi Hongtao can’t do anything to me!"
The gray-robed youth muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with brilliance. If a disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect were here, they would surely recognize that the Chi Hongtao he mentioned was none other than a top-ten genius disciple of the Inner Sect.
He was known as the "Flame Yin Palm!"
As for the gray-robed youth, he was the prodigy of the Flying Corpse Sect, the Corpse Puppet.
The Silver Corpse Technique is a special Body Refining Technique that enhances one’s flesh rapidly by absorbing the essence blood of martial artists. Initially, the Corpse Puppet had only cultivated the Silver Corpse Technique to a minor level. However, through accumulation over time, he finally reached Great Success!
"Hmm? Another Body Refining Martial Artist?"
An excited gleam flashed in the Corpse Puppet’s eyes, and his lips turned crimson. The flesh within a Body Refining Martial Artist is undoubtedly the strongest. Absorbing the essence blood of one Body Refining Martial Artist is equivalent to absorbing the essence blood of thousands of ordinary martial artists.
The Corpse Puppet’s body flickered and disappeared from the cave!
Not far from the cave, Chu Ming’s flying body came to a sudden stop, his gaze fixed in the direction of the cave. In the air, a noticeable blood scent wafted, growing stronger by the moment.
Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed as he saw a gray figure flying towards him. Initially, it was just a tiny gray dot, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of him.
A powerful qi erupted from the newcomer, dressed in a fierce gray robe with withered skin, under which silver light flickered, the depth unfathomable. It was none other than the Corpse Puppet from the cave!
Chu Ming said indifferently. He could feel that this person was very strong, at least not weaker than him. Moreover, an inexplicable suction seemed to form within the person’s body, slowly drawing in the surrounding spiritual power!
"Are you here to kill me?"
The Corpse Puppet’s gaze flashed with a hint of blood as he eyed Chu Ming. Though Chu Ming was also strong, he seemed slightly inferior.
Chu Ming responded calmly, lightly drawing out his Blue Red Sword inch by inch. Relying solely on Body Refining Power was no longer enough to fend off the Corpse Puppet!
"Heh heh heh, quite a few people have come to court death these days!"
The Corpse Puppet coldly laughed, his face contorting hideously!
In an instant, the Corpse Puppet made a move, his hands forming fists and striking at Chu Ming like countless raindrops, with surging waves of energy rolling within and a killing blood-red hue interlaced!
Chu Ming wielded the Blue Red Sword tightly, forming a dense defensive membrane that shielded all the Fist Forces!
One had to admit, the Corpse Puppet was very strong, especially his cultivation of the Silver Corpse Technique, which had unique characteristics. Each time Chu Ming’s Blue Red Sword clashed with his fist, the emanating Sword Light was slightly absorbed by his skin, which was extraordinarily eerie!
After one clash, countless sparks flew from the point of contact. A mysterious white pattern appeared on Chu Ming’s body at some point, and when the Corpse Puppet’s Fist Force struck, it was somewhat weakened.
The Corpse Puppet grunted, the two bodies simultaneously retreating like two shooting stars. The Corpse Puppet steadied himself, the disdain in his eyes slowly fading, replaced by endless heat. If he could fully absorb Chu Ming’s essence blood, his Silver Corpse Technique could very well cultivate to the Realm of Perfection, making him the strongest prodigy of the Flying Corpse Sect!
"Silver Explosion Flying Armor!"
The Corpse Puppet roared in a low voice, his gray robe’s sleeves shattering into countless pieces. At the same time, his hands glowed with dazzling silver light, and his entire skin turned into silver!
Without any warning, the Corpse Puppet flew towards Chu Ming like an unadorned silver figure, his arm smashing down like a mountain!
Unstoppable, indestructible!
The air currents from the sweeping arm blew Chu Ming’s black hair wildly. In an instant, Chu Ming raised his sword to block, stabbing out like a falling meteor!
Sparks flew from the clash, and Chu Ming felt a tremendous force transmitted through his arm, numbing his tiger’s mouth, his body retreating swiftly, his sword momentum showing signs of dissipating.
As Chu Ming retreated, the Corpse Puppet did not relent, relentlessly sweeping his arm again to continue his fierce attack. He couldn’t maintain this state for long and needed to win quickly!
A slight seriousness appeared in Chu Ming’s eyes. The current Corpse Puppet’s Attack Power had doubled from earlier!
As his body flew, the wind howled past Chu Ming’s ears, his right hand slashing out with the sword. Muscles rippled, and the sharp Sword Light fell like the last star in the sky, enveloping the world in darkness!
The Corpse Puppet’s eyes darkened. By the time he reacted, the Sword Light, like flowing dark water, had reached his chest!
A soft sound echoed through the silent space. The Corpse Puppet felt a sharp pain in his chest and immediately retreated. Looking down, he saw a finger-thick wound on his left chest, bleeding.
"You’ve thoroughly enraged me!"
The Corpse Puppet raised his head, his eyes gleaming with coldness, killing intent radiating as silver light rapidly flowed under his skin, like countless silver insects!
The Corpse Puppet stomped on the ground fiercely, sending dust flying and leaving a deep pit beneath his feet as his figure transformed into a concentrated gale, charging at Chu Ming as a silver shadow!
Chu Ming’s gaze remained extremely calm as he raised his sword to block each of the Corpse Puppet’s punches. However, the tremendous force transmitted through his arms made his body continually retreat, leaving deep footprints!
Nevertheless, Chu Ming wasn’t disadvantaged. With his dual cultivation in Body Refining, his physique was incredibly tough. Although the Corpse Puppet’s attacks pushed him backward continuously, his combat strength remained at peak form!
