Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Corpse Stiffness In Battle
After entering the fifth floor, Ye Feng released all of his divine sense. He discovered that a powerful pressure had pushed his divine sense back, preventing him from looking out. He heard a clanging sound coming from the pitch-black cave.

When his entire body was exposed to Ye Feng, Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Corpse stiffness, it’s actually corpse stiffness!”

Ye Feng finally saw what kind of monster it was.

After a person died, many of them were buried underground. Because they did not rot, they absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy and eventually formed ghouls. The longer it lasted, the more powerful the ghouls became. In addition to absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, they would form corpse pills in their heads and grow into Corpse Kings.

After the Corpse King took shape, he would know how to cultivate. This kind of cultivation was not active, but was innate. The Corpse King absorbed spiritual energy and entered the Corpse Pill. It evolved bit by bit, eventually forming corpse stiffness.

If a Corpse King wanted to evolve into a corpse, it would take several hundred years. It would die without stiffness. The corpse king’s ability was many times stronger than the Corpse King’s. The Corpse King’s area of activity was very limited, and its movements were single.

However, when it came to corpse stiffness, the flexibility of his body greatly increased. In addition to the reason for the Corpse Pill, his facial features were actually reopened. Although his eyes were empty, Ye Feng believed that this corpse stiffness would definitely be able to see him.

Ye Feng’s guess was correct. Not only could the corpses be seen, they could also smell, and even activate some memories of their previous lives and recover some martial skills. This kind of corpses was the most terrifying because their bodies were invincible, and they were washed with spiritual energy all year round. Such bodies were comparable to spirit artifacts.

If it were humans, they would use spiritual energy to wash their bodies every day and night for hundreds of years. Their bodies would probably be even stronger than corpses. However, humans were different. Because of their lifespan, Houtian martial artists could only live for 70 to 90 years at most.

The corpse in front of him was chained to its ankle by a huge chain. This greatly restricted the scope of its movement. The academy was probably afraid that the corpse would go crazy and the disciples who entered would be eaten by the corpse.

Even so, the bloodstains on the ground told Ye Feng that there were still people who died under the corpse stiffness. One could imagine how terrifying this corpse stiffness was. In addition to absorbing the human brain, it had already activated its intelligence. This kind of corpse stiffness was the most terrifying.

With his intelligence, his physical body was strong, and he activated some martial skills. If he was a powerful martial artist, such as an Immortal Martial Realm martial artist, if he activated one tenth of his martial skills, he would not be able to resist Xiantian Realm martial artists.

Looking at the human in front of him, the corpse stiffened and moved its body. When it reached more than ten steps in front of Ye Feng, it stopped. Because the chain was only so long, if Ye Feng wanted to fight with the corpse stiffness, he had to take the initiative to attack.

The purpose of Ye Feng’s visit was to cultivate martial skills. Of course, he would not give up such an opportunity. Only a strong pressure would be able to stimulate him more fully. With a movement of his body, he fiercely smashed his fist towards the corpse.

“Be split!”

Ye Feng shouted. He used the first stance of the Shattering Bone Fist. The fierce fist technique caused a hurricane to whistle. The soles of his feet stepped on the ground with the sound of rubbing. The distance of ten steps was only a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the corpse stiffened and raised its arm. Ye Feng’s guess was correct. This corpse stiffened its body freely, unlike the Corpse King. Its body was extremely stiff, and it was very difficult to make any difficult movements. Its claws actually grabbed towards Ye Feng’s fist. It was extremely fast.

“Good fellow, let me have a taste of how powerful you are!”

Ye Feng had no intention of withdrawing his fist. His momentum increased greatly, and his fist suddenly shot out like a bolt of lightning, fiercely smashing into the corpse’s palm.

“Bang!”

It was as if heaven and earth had collapsed. Ye Feng’s body flipped 180 degrees in the air, removing the force from the backlash. His body fell back to the place where he had just stood.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

Strong ripples emitted a rumbling sound, continuously exploding in all directions. Like a flood, they began to impact, causing sand and rocks to fly on the ground.

“So strong! His strength is at least 500 flying dragons!”

Ye Feng said in a shocked tone. Just now, after testing, Ye Feng did not gain the upper hand. His corpse did not move at all, and Ye Feng was knocked back.

The corpse didn’t seem to have expected that Ye Feng would look very weak. Inside such a weak body, there were actually many Berserk Dragons hiding. With a movement of his arm, Ye Feng returned.

This time, Ye Feng was much more cautious. He no longer fought head-on. His fist technique changed and bombarded the corpse’s head. As long as he exploded his head, the corpse would naturally die.

“Clang! Clang!”

The corpse tried to break free from the chains on its feet, so that it could charge towards Ye Feng. Unfortunately, the chains firmly locked onto it, allowing it to tightly control its movement range.

With a big hand, the corpse’s palm was extremely terrifying. It had favorable teeth on it, similar to Ye Feng’s nails. Although it was not as long as Ye Feng’s nails, the corpse’s nails were curved and emitted a green light. If it didn’t grab it, its body would probably be torn apart in an instant.

Because its feet were restricted, it could only rely on both hands to attack. Its two palms were divided into two directions, one hand to block Ye Feng’s attack, the other hand to grab Ye Feng. What a sinister move.

Ye Feng was enraged. This corpse must have been an unforgivable person before its death. Otherwise, it would have used such a sinister move.

With a kick, Ye Feng’s body jumped up and flew into the air, so as to avoid being lifted into the shadows and kicked towards the corpse.

“Bang, bang, bang!!”

Ye Feng’s legs continued to step on, both his chest and shoulders were kicked by Ye Feng.

“Cheng cheng cheng!”

The corpse’s enormous body continued to retreat, being pushed back by Ye Feng dozens of steps, retreating to the edge of the darkness.

With the help of the power of the rebound, Ye Feng returned to his original spot. There was not a trace of joy on his face. Instead, he was secretly on guard. Although his feet had hit the corpse earlier, Ye Feng felt that he had hit the iron wall. Even if it was a spirit artifact, he could not withstand Ye Feng’s attack. However, he had used a series of kicks just now and was unable to injure the corpse.

“Dong dong dong!”

The corpse did not speak, nor did it have any expression. However, Ye Feng could personally feel that the corpse was angry. The footsteps of a two-meter-tall body made a dull thud, and a terrifying pressure swept towards Ye Feng.

Feeling the strong pressure on his body, Ye Feng mobilized all the soul power in his soul sea to resist this pressure. His body felt much better. It was estimated that most of the disciples who had died here before had been forcefully suppressed due to lack of soul power, and they were eventually killed by the corpse stiffness.

Fortunately, Ye Feng’s soul power was strong, so he could barely withstand the pressure that was like the sea water. If his soul power was insufficient, he would be crushed to the ground, allowing his corpse to be devoured.

Feeling that his body was moving freely, Ye Feng shot out again. This time, he was still using the fist technique. He used the Five Horses Corpse Splitting Hand Style. His strength increased explosively, and the attack direction became wider. He took out his chest, back, and head, which were basically sealed off by Ye Feng. Although the corpse was agile, its movement speed was obviously not as fast as that of a human.

The ferocious aura was like torrents, like ribbons of colors, crazily swarming towards the corpses. The fists turned into countless shadows, and even Ye Feng’s body could not see which of them was real.

The corpse seemed to have fallen into a daze. Although it had activated some intelligence, it was still very rare. Ye Feng’s soul was no weaker than his. There seemed to be no good way. As long as the disciples who had entered in the past used powerful soul force pressure, they would basically be able to subdue it easily.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Ye Feng’s fist was like a rainstorm. His fist landed on his corpse’s body. Whether it was his chest or back, he was ruthlessly attacked. His corpse’s body swayed left and right, withstanding Ye Feng’s flood-like impact, he almost flew away.

After executing the complete five-horse zombie, Ye Feng returned to his original spot like a whirlwind. He discovered that there were many cracks on the corpse’s body. One could imagine how fierce Ye Feng’s attack was just now.

The movement of the corpse was much slower. His body suffered a heavy blow from Ye Feng and suffered serious injuries. He seemed to have sensed a crisis and actually retreated into the darkness. He did not intend to entangle himself with Ye Feng.

“I want to leave. If you leave, how can I enter the fifth floor!”

It was impossible for Ye Feng to let it leave. Although Ye Feng could directly enter the fifth level to cultivate, Ye Feng did not want to give up such an opportunity. He had to hunt it himself and absorb more actual combat opportunities.

Unlike humans, Ye Feng had to adapt to all sorts of opportunities to fight with the corpses in order to be more comprehensive.

Before he could retreat into the darkness, Ye Feng’s body was like a bolt of lightning. He attacked quickly, and this time, his strength was even more violent.

“Split into pieces, five horses split into corpses!”

Ye Feng began to work with both his right and left hands. He actually used different moves, perfectly combining the two moves together. All of these were the benefits left behind by the Inscription Soul Technique. Ye Feng was able to use both of them with one mind and two moves at the same time.

The corpse stiffened and retreated faster and faster. Ye Feng had to kill him as soon as possible. Once he retreated back into the black hole, it would be even harder to kill him.

His body was like a fierce dragon, and all the bones in his body emitted a cracking sound. This was Ye Feng exerting his strength to the extreme, extremely perfect. His body cooperated with the supreme fist technique to create Ye Feng’s peerless attack.

It was like two giant hammers pressing down from the sky. Ye Feng’s body jumped up and glided in the air. It was about three meters high. This was a vibration of true energy. Although it consumed a lot of true energy, it was worth it to be able to kill the corpse.

The fierce fist wind began to tear the air and let out a chuckle. It burned into fireballs. It was only ten steps away. Ye Feng’s body landed on top of the corpse’s head and suddenly appeared at its back. Ye Feng carried out a counter attack and switched positions. If the corpse wanted to retreat, it would have to go through Ye Feng’s trial.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The fist mercilessly bombarded the corpse’s body, releasing a series of bouncing sounds. Each punch could produce a crisp sound of bones being struck, but it was still unable to heavily injure the corpse’s body, only sending its body flying.

“Bang! Bang!”

Walking through the chains, his corpse’s body flew up and fiercely fell forward.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. A gust of wind suddenly appeared behind Ye Feng, and one hand suddenly grabbed towards Ye Feng’s back.

“Not good, there’s actually a stiff corpse!”

Ye Feng’s body exploded and flew forward. If he was caught by the corpse, his body would definitely be hollowed out.
