Just when the corpse hanging upside down on the tree suddenly opened its eyes, Gu Fei immediately felt a sense of foreboding. He did not think too much about it. In fact, he did not even have the time to think as he instinctively retreated.
This was the body's natural reaction to the surrounding danger when faced with an unexpected situation.
Gu Fei seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard as he retreated four or five steps in an instant without leaving a trace. Then, he saw something suddenly pounce down in front of him and hit the ground with a "Peng!"
The withered branches and withered leaves on the ground seemed to have been forcefully lashed by a whip as they protruded from the ground with a "Peng!" In the next moment, the withered branches, withered leaves, and debris of soil suddenly sped up and splashed in all directions.
Gu Fei was startled. His right foot lightly tapped the ground with a "Shua!" Sound, leaving behind an afterimage in his original position, but he had already retreated thirty feet away like the wind and lightning.
As fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, as a warrior, Gu Fei's reaction and movement speed were hard to match among cultivators of the same level.
"Ah …" A sound like the roar of a wild beast that caused one's heart to palpitate rang out in the dark forest. At this moment, under the curtain of the night, it seemed exceptionally terrifying.
A cowardly person might have turned around and fled, but Gu Fei was not a cowardly person. Not only did he not flee, but he also looked with interest at the fellow who had suddenly pounced down from the tree in front of him.
Indeed, the corpse hanging upside down on the tree had actually moved. Not only did it pounce down on Gu Fei from the tree, but it also climbed up from the rotten soil.
After Gu Fei's gaze met the corpse's, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end. He saw that the shriveled, sunken eye sockets of the corpse that did not have any signs of life emitted a demonic bloody light.
What made Gu Fei's hair stand on end was that this mummy's eye sockets had no pupils, not even the sclera. There were only two balls of bloody light, two balls of demonic and terrifying bloody light.
"Ha …" The dried corpse stared at Gu Fei with its blood-red eyes and roared. Suddenly, it grinned and leaped into the air, pouncing fiercely towards Gu Fei.
Gu Fei clearly saw that when the mummy opened its mouth, the two rows of inhuman teeth were long and sharp. If he was bitten, he would definitely be able to tear off a large piece of flesh.
This mummy seemed to have turned into a bloodthirsty demon. The hands that pounced towards Gu Fei had ten fingers that were as sharp as ten little swords.
Such a sharp claw could definitely tear a ferocious beast apart in an instant.
Unfortunately, Gu Fei was not a ferocious beast, nor was he an ordinary cultivator. Instead, he was an invincible warrior among cultivators of the same level. Gu Fei directly ignored the two waving claws of the evil corpse and punched towards it.
"Bang!" With a loud sound, the evil corpse that was fiercely pouncing towards him was sent flying by Gu Fei's punch. It directly smashed into the big tree behind the evil corpse and rolled on the ground in the rotten soil that was several feet deep.
This evil corpse did not seem to have any consciousness. It was only relying on its instincts to pounce. It seemed to have been infected by the demonic nature of the blood-red demon shadow and had been demonized. Although it had a certain amount of attack power, it did not pose a threat to Gu Fei.
"Hmph! You still want to harm people after death. It seems that you were also a person with evil intentions when you were alive! "Gu Fei disdainfully looked at the evil corpse that was crawling up from the rotten soil and coldly said.
"Whoosh!" The evil corpse jumped up from the ground again and pounced towards Gu Fei. The layer of deathly grey skin draped over its skeleton was incomparably horrifying.
"Five Elements Rotation, Fire Element Extermination!" Gu Fei's hands formed a seal. The power of the fire element surged out from his jumping fingers and swept towards the evil corpse that was pouncing over. The glaring flame illuminated the night sky.
"Bang!" The evil corpse immediately exploded into pieces under Gu Fei's seal.
There was no scene of flesh and blood splattering everywhere. This was because there was no flesh on the evil corpse's body. The scattered corpse pieces in the air were instantly obliterated by the surging power of the fire element. They completely disappeared as if they had evaporated.
One could vaguely see that when the evil corpse exploded, there were a few traces of blood-red light that dissipated in the flames.
After destroying the evil corpse, Gu Fei then took out the magic treasure bag that he had obtained from the evil corpse. He opened it to take a look. Inside was a space that was about ten feet in diameter. Within this space, there were some bottles and some clothes neatly arranged.
Those bottles and jars were all made of the best white jade. Each jade bottle had a label on it. The label said something like "Peiyuan Dan", "Qi Nourishing Dan", and so on. They were all elixirs.
Cultivators usually used jade to make jade bottles to store medicinal pills. Jade was a very good medium that could prevent spiritual energy from dissipating.
The dozen or so bottles of medicinal pills were all ordinary medicinal pills. However, Gu Fei found a bottle of Essence Condensing Pill among the dozen or so bottles of medicinal pills. This kind of medicinal pill was used to break through the shackles of the Soul Awakening Realm and enter the Transcending Mortality Realm.
This kind of medicinal pill was rare even in the Three Great Daoist Sects. If it was put outside, each one would be worth a hundred thousand gold, and there was no market for it.
Of course, Gu Fei did not know about this. Moreover, he cultivated the martial way and walked the path of martial arts. He was not a cultivator and could not condense a Dao Core. Therefore, the Essence Condensing Pill was useless to him.
When he left the mountain, he even gave the Essence Condensing Pill that he had obtained after winning the Nine Peaks Trials to the female disciple of Purple Bamboo Peak, Zhao Zirou.
"I wonder how Junior Sister Zirou is doing now." Gu Fei thought to himself. In the end, there was still a shadow of that beauty in his heart.
Gu Fei came back to his senses and continued to examine the things in the magic treasure bag. Apart from the medicinal pills, there was a small pile of refining materials in the corner.
There were glowing red pieces of metal that emitted bursts of heat. There were also pitch-black pieces of Millennium Cold Iron that glowed with a cold, black light. Gu Fei even saw a piece of rotten wood among the small pile of materials for crafting weapons.
Gu Fei knew nothing about blacksmithing. Thus, he simply ignored these items after taking a glance at them. He was a cultivator, and his body was the best magic treasure. Why would he need to refine magic treasures?
What really attracted Gu Fei's attention in the magic treasure bag were the seven or eight spiritual herbs that were placed next to the medicinal pills. These spiritual herbs seemed to have been picked not long ago. They still had a bright green color and there were traces of spiritual energy lingering around them.
It could be seen that these seven or eight spiritual herbs, even if they were not rare Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, they were very rare spiritual herbs that had been around for a long time.
"It seems that the Blood Demon only wants to kill people. He doesn't care about these things!" Gu Fei mumbled to himself as he put away the magic treasure bag.
Gu Fei continued to head west. His direction was not wrong, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was heading in a general direction. He was heading west, but he was not going back the way he came.
The areas he passed through were all unfamiliar areas. When the east started to brighten, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from the east, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
That sound was much louder than a clap of thunder on a flat ground. The enormous sound wave reverberated in the sky and on the ground. The entire Sky Burial Valley seemed to be able to hear this sudden explosion.
When the explosion occurred, Gu Fei was walking in a dense bamboo forest. The sudden sound wave shocked Gu Fei so much that he almost jumped up from the ground.
"The east … The sound came from the east … Did that old turtle actually succeed?" Gu Fei turned to look to the east. His expression changed several times as he muttered to himself in shock.
The old turtle seemed to have really pierced through the sky and shattered the earth. It had actually caused such a huge commotion. After the explosion, the ground began to tremble.
It was so far away, but the commotion still spread here. It could be seen that the area where the old turtle was had definitely become a terrible, hellish place.
Gu Fei could not help but worry for the old turtle. After all, the explosion of the power of heaven and earth was extremely terrifying. Even if an immortal was placed in it, they would also fall.
"The old turtle has the fake world and the stone turtle shell. He should not die!" As Gu Fei thought of this, he continued to turn around and walk.
The thick bamboo leaves on the ground were swept up by the breeze from time to time, drifting between the bamboo forest and making a rustling sound.
Suddenly, Gu Fei stopped in his tracks. His ears twitched as he heard a faint panting sound coming from the right side of the bamboo forest.
It was the sound of a human panting. Gu Fei cultivated on Green Spirit Peak for many years. He often went into the depths of Taixuan Mountain to find fierce beasts in the mountains to practice. The panting of a human was different from the panting of a beast.
Without any hesitation, Gu Fei turned and walked directly in the direction of the sound. In the Ruin Sky Realm, no one's cultivation could be higher than that of the Awakening Ninth Heaven. Gu Fei, who was invincible among those at the same level, was not afraid of anyone who entered the Ruin Sky Realm.
On the contrary, what Gu Fei was most worried about were the demonic beasts that were born and raised in the Ruin Sky Realm, because the demonic beasts that grew up in the Ruin Sky Realm were not suppressed in any way.
The power of demonic beasts could break through the Awakening Realm without any restrictions, but humans could not. In the Ruin Sky Realm, demonic beasts were far more terrifying than humans.
The sound became clearer and clearer. Gu Fei walked carefully in the bamboo forest. Although there was a thick layer of bamboo leaves on the ground, Gu Fei walked like an invisible breeze, not making any sound.
"Hmm! It's just ahead! " Gu Fei's footsteps slowed down. There was a rapid and panting sound coming from behind a clump of bamboo in front of him. It seemed that the person was in a state of extreme panic.
Gu Fei quietly turned to the front and saw a person curled up in the rotten bamboo leaves, trembling all over. His head was hidden under his body, so Gu Fei could not see the person's face.
However, from the clothes on this person, he could tell that this person was not a high-level disciple of the Three Great Taoist Sects, but like himself, a disciple of the younger generation of the Three Great Taoist Sects.
Gu Fei relaxed a little, and at this moment, the person curled up in the rotten bamboo leaves seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Fei.
"Lei … Lei Ao?" When Gu Fei saw the man's face and his miserable state, he couldn't help but cry out in shock. "Who is it? Who is it?"
