I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 127 - 107: The Ominous Formation (Part 2)

"As long as this place is destroyed, Cold Mountain Temple will return to normal," Qin Yuesheng thought.

He then mustered his Inner Strength, striking the altar with a powerful palm.

Boom!

Under Qin Yuesheng’s Inner Strength, the altar exploded instantly, sending a mass of stones tumbling down.

To Qin Yuesheng’s surprise, the altar was surprisingly tough; even with a full-force strike, it crumbled by only a tenth.

Having learned his lesson, Qin Yuesheng unleashed a Soul-Shattering Roar, shattering the altar with sound waves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The outer wall of the altar peeled away like plaster, and chunks fell, causing the spherical object pressing down on the altar to lose its support and roll to the ground.

This exposed the scene inside the altar to Qin Yuesheng’s eyes.

There were three headless corpses.

Two men and one woman, standing side by side.

Their bodies covered with Yellow Talismans, creating an inexplicable eerie vibe.

"What the hell is this?" Qin Yuesheng picked up a stone and threw it.

Smack!

The stone hit one of the male corpses and instantly stuck to it.

"It seems those outsiders hiding in Cold Mountain Temple are likely dealing with these things. Although I don’t know their purpose, it’s best to destroy them immediately," Qin Yuesheng thought.

Just as he was about to dismantle the headless corpses, Qin Yuesheng suddenly felt something being drained from inside him.

All of what was being drained floated toward the three corpses.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Before Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, the three headless corpses began to move instantly.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A blood-red eye opened on each of their chests.

As if they detected the scent of blood, they lunged at Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng enveloped his hand in Inner Strength, striking out with a palm.

Boom!

The leading corpse had its arm broken instantly, its upper body bending in an inhumane angle.

Qin Yuesheng turned and swung the Evil-Subduing Saber, slicing the corpse in half.

Zzzzzz!

The Evil-Subduing Saber was both sharp and possessed exorcising power, causing the severed sections of the corpse to dissolve into blood water.

The other two corpses pressed in on Qin Yuesheng from the sides; Qin Yuesheng remained calm, unleashing a Soul-Shattering Roar to repel them. The headless corpses couldn’t even draw close to Qin Yuesheng and were instantly blown away.

Simultaneously, while flying backward, their bodies were annihilated under the sound waves.

Within a few rounds, the three headless corpses were left with broken limbs, trembling on the ground, seemingly wanting to rise and continue their fight with Qin Yuesheng.

"So weak?" Qin Yuesheng wondered.

The strength of these three headless corpses was not as formidable as Corpse Snake, Corpse Ox, or Corpse Bear. As targets embedded in the sinister temple’s malevolent air, they seemed far from sufficient.

As Qin Yuesheng puzzled over it, a crack suddenly appeared on the backs of the headless corpses.

Human skins rolled outward, and three Blood Corpses emerged from the fissures.

The moment the Blood Corpses appeared, the chamber was instantly filled with pervasive blood air, a pungent blood scent making it hard to breathe.

Qin Yuesheng never anticipated that the Yellow Talismans on the headless corpses had a substantial role, and in defeating them, he inadvertently shook off the talismans.

Now was the beginning of true danger for these headless corpses.

The three Blood Corpses collided, fusing together to form a six-armed, three-eyed monster, even developing a blood shell on its surface, looking more menacing.

"Roar!" The blood corpse’s abdomen opened into a big mouth, roaring furiously at Qin Yuesheng before charging forward.

Despite the many sinister forces, I will sever them all with the sword.

Qin Yuesheng held his saber and advanced, channeling his Inner Strength into saber energy and slashing out.

The saber light moved swiftly like lightning, as sudden as thunder in spring, catching one off guard without warning.

Boom!

At the collision between the Evil-Subduing Saber and the blood corpse, sparks flew, accompanied by a chilling screech.

The blood corpse grabbed the saber blade with its large arm, attempting to snatch it from Qin Yuesheng’s hand.

Qin Yuesheng roared, unleashing sound waves that blasted straight into the blood corpse’s chest, causing an explosive rupture.

Flesh and blood scattered, revealing a basin-sized hole in the blood corpse’s chest, through which one could see the back.

For a Martial Artist, such an injury would be fatal and irreparable.

Yet the blood corpse remained unaffected, except for the arm holding the Evil-Subduing Saber. Its other five arms waved fiercely, enveloping Qin Yuesheng’s face in a united assault.

"Hah!" Qin Yuesheng let out a low shout, and Inner Strength formed a barrier four fingers thick on the surface of his skull, intending to block the blow from the blood corpse.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Five palms struck down; even with the Inner Strength protecting him, Qin Yuesheng felt his head shake violently, and an inexplicable dizziness clouded his vision.

Succeeding with one blow, the blood corpse seemed to taste victory, frantically increasing the frequency of its hand strikes. Qin Yuesheng raised his arm, wrapped in Soul-Catching Demon, and shouted, "Hold it off for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul-Catching Demon instantly transformed into a round shield, completely blocking the blood corpse’s attacks.

With the Soul-Catching Demon’s defense, Qin Yuesheng immediately turned defense into offense. The Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber struck out with full force, primarily targeting the lower body of the blood corpse. Streams of saber energy attacked the waist, legs, hips, and feet of the blood corpse. Utilizing the Evil-Subduing Saber’s power to ward off evil, the lower half of the blood corpse was directly slashed, revealing white bones and shredded flesh.

Just as Qin Yuesheng prepared to gather strength for a blow to directly sever the blood corpse’s spine, intending to completely disable its standing ability.

A blood-red hand suddenly stretched silently towards his chest.

Slash!

The blood-red hand easily pierced into Qin Yuesheng’s body, its five fingers embedding deep within.

Qin Yuesheng widened his eyes in disbelief; this blood corpse actually had an additional single arm growing from its back.

In other words, it had a total of seven arms.

But because the growth position of this last arm was so concealed, Qin Yuesheng had not noticed it at all.

After the blood-red fingers penetrated a certain distance into Qin Yuesheng’s body, they could go no further, stopped by a highly obstructive membrane.

Fortunately, Qin Yuesheng timely mobilized his Inner Strength to protect his chest, thwarting the blood corpse’s intention to grab his heart and rip it out directly.

"Damn it."

Using the muscle control power from the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror’s Outer Forging section, Qin Yuesheng’s chest muscles tightly clamped down on the blood corpse’s fingers, simultaneously exerting Inner Strength to push it outward.

In just a brief moment, he already felt the filthy blood on the blood corpse’s hand mixing into his body, immediately bringing a scorching, burning pain.

This blood corpse is poisonous!

Luckily, Qin Yuesheng had already refined his body to the Outer Forging Perfection.

His muscles, bones, and skin were in the peak state of an ordinary human.

He immediately locked the muscles and skin around the wound tightly, assisted by Inner Strength, to prevent the filthy blood of the blood corpse from spreading within his body, potentially infecting it completely, resulting in unexpected consequences.

Bang!

With a forceful push from Qin Yuesheng, the five fingers of the blood corpse instantly withdrew from his wound.

Seizing this opportunity, Qin Yuesheng swung vigorously at the blood corpse’s spine.

Immediately, a shockwave spread along the saber blade to the blood corpse’s spine, followed by a ’crack’ sound as the spine snapped in half.

Without a spine, the blood corpse’s upper body couldn’t support itself, causing its body to uncontrollably tumble backward to the ground.

"Hiss!" Qin Yuesheng clutched his wound in extreme pain; it was his first time suffering such a severe injury.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, using Inner Strength to block the blood corpse’s palm and dodging the fatal strike.

If the heart were grasped, regardless of whether one was an Outer Forging Martial Artist or an Inner Strength Martial Artist, they’d be dead.

"This damned thing is quite sneaky." Qin Yuesheng’s extreme pain turned to fury, and his anger fueled his vigor.

He immediately raised the Evil-Subduing Saber and relentlessly slashed at the blood corpse.

By the time his arm began to feel slightly fatigued, the blood corpse had already been chopped beyond recognition, utterly fragmented.

He bent down and grasped one of the blood corpse’s rotten arms.

"Disassemble," Qin Yuesheng said.

[Yes/No—Disassemble ’Three Corpses Resentful Ghosts’]

"Yes."

[Disassembly successful, obtained ’Essence Blood Pills x5’ ’Soul Condensing Pills x3’]

On the ground lay five impeccably pure, crimson pills and three purely gray pills.

Qin Yuesheng picked them up one by one and walked to the fire torch previously dropped during the battle with the blood corpse. He examined the eight pills under the torchlight.

In terms of quality alone, Qin Yuesheng had consumed many pills but had never seen any so crystal clear; one could place a finger behind a pill and see its outline through it.

Very peculiar pills.

These two kinds of pills were unfamiliar to Qin Yuesheng, so he stored them temporarily in his Celestial Demon pouch, planning to test their effects upon returning to the Qin Mansion, especially since he was still wounded and needed to hurry back to Cyan Yang City for treatment.

"Now that the source of malevolence in this Cold Mountain Temple has been eradicated by me, there may still be some unnoticed details. This matter must be reported to Bai Hao, allowing him to bring people over for another search to prevent anything overlooked."

He went over to the ruined altar, and the more than a dozen round stones tried to disassemble them, but they were just ordinary rocks.

Seeing nothing new discovered, Qin Yuesheng removed a monk’s robe from a small monk, tore it into evenly thick strips, binding the three tightly together, and then left the secret room with them.

...

The entire Cold Mountain Temple was exceptionally quiet.

Qin Yuesheng put down the three unconscious young monks and swiftly sprinted out of the temple gate, clutching his chest as he headed towards Cyan Yang City.

Meanwhile, he faintly felt a slight squirming sensation at the wound, like two pieces of flesh were constantly rubbing against each other.

It was Qin Yuesheng’s physical talent, ’Rapid Healing’, playing its role.
