Let the Sword Qi Soar for a While

When Gu Qingfeng saw Wang Fatty's expression, he immediately turned around to look, and was startled by the eerie scene before him.

The dismembered limbs, shattered skulls, and fragments of flesh in the burial ground were slowly gathering together under some mysterious force.

They seemed to come alive, moving like slithering creatures, rapidly crawling toward a central point.

Gradually, more and more pieces gathered, piling higher and higher, until countless broken corpses merged into a mountain of bodies.

As they continued to combine, the corpse mountain kept expanding - one meter, two meters, three meters... ten meters!

Over five hundred corpses were kneaded together like dough by some sinister force, forming a massive monster ten meters tall.

This building-sized monster had a grotesquely twisted appearance, supported by hundreds of legs at its base, covered in arms all over its body, with five hundred heads irregularly embedded in its skin. The remaining parts were filled with writhing pieces of flesh.

Gu Qingfeng even spotted a familiar face on the monster - Hu Liang.

Hu Liang's head was prominently embedded in the central position.

Swoosh!

Five hundred eyes opened simultaneously. From a distance, the monster's body was covered densely with eyes, all of them blood-red pupils filled with murderous intent!

Roar!

The monster suddenly let out a tremendous roar that was deafening.

A terrifying aura emanated from its body.

This aura made Wang Fatty and Xu Fan change color in alarm, their bodies stiffening unnaturally, as if they were being targeted by an apex predator.

Suddenly, the mountain of corpses moved, hundreds of legs pushing off at once, making the ground continuously tremble. Countless small stones and dust were shaken half a meter off the ground.

Like an unleashed wild dog, it charged madly toward Gu Qingfeng and the others.

Wang Fatty and Xu Fan were scared out of their wits, frozen in place.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng stepped forward, shielding the two behind him, looking at the monster before him with excitement in his eyes.

"It looks quite scary, but I wonder how strong it really is? Let's test it out first."

As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng pulled out his last Sun Fire Talisman from his chest, activated it, and threw it.

A miniature sun appeared again, hurtling fiercely toward the corpse mountain.

However, compared to the corpse mountain, the miniature sun wasn't even one-hundredth of its size.

The next second, the miniature sun collided with the corpse mountain.

Boom!

The miniature sun exploded instantly, its scorching flames immediately consuming one-tenth of the corpse mountain's body.

It had burned a huge hole right through the corpse mountain!

The smell of charred meat immediately spread through the air.

Gu Qingfeng frowned disapprovingly: "What's this? This monster is too weak, one Sun Fire Talisman did this much damage?"

Gu Qingfeng had been hoping to use this corpse mountain to evolve his Golden Body technique. Since his last battle with the White Bone Elder, his Golden Body had been at a threshold, just short of breaking through.

However, because the Golden Body's defense was too high, attacks from ordinary demons couldn't provide any enhancement, so he had been unable to break through.

Now that he had finally encountered a seemingly formidable demon, it turned out to be as fragile as paper.

Just as Gu Qingfeng was feeling disappointed, hundreds of mouths on the corpse mountain opened simultaneously, releasing a chorus of angry roars.

Then, something miraculous happened. The dark red flesh on the corpse mountain began to writhe, and the huge hole gradually healed itself.

In just two seconds, the hole disappeared completely, and the corpse mountain was restored to its original state!

Gu Qingfeng's eyes immediately lit up, thinking this was getting interesting.

At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly called out urgently: "Lord Gu, I've read in books that monsters formed from such amalgamations usually have a core. Only by destroying the core will it die; otherwise, no matter how you attack it, it will keep regenerating."

Core?

Gu Qingfeng looked at the ten-meter-tall corpse mountain, thinking, "With such a huge body, where would I find the core?"

"Lord Gu, it's a monster made of zombies, so its core must be in one of the heads. Among those five hundred heads, one must be the core," Xu Fan explained rapidly.

Five hundred heads?

Gu Qingfeng looked up, feeling overwhelmed. How the hell could anyone tell them apart?

"Lord Gu, I suspect..."

"Enough." Gu Qingfeng impatiently interrupted: "This sounds too troublesome. I don't have time to look for differences. It's just a matter of one sword strike anyway."

"You two step back."

Gu Qingfeng ordered the two to retreat, then selected the Yanma sword from the four weapons at his waist.

He held the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right, positioning the Yanma horizontally across his chest in a drawing stance, quietly waiting for the corpse mountain to approach.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's stance, both Wang Fatty and Xu Fan thought he had lost his mind.

A sword just over a meter long was like a toothpick compared to such a huge monster - what use could it be, picking its teeth?

"Lord Gu, let's run! What's the point of wielding a sword now?" Wang Fatty panicked.

Xu Fan also looked extremely anxious: "Lord Gu, any attack is useless unless we find the core."

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly: "The core is just hidden somewhere in its body. If I destroy its entire body with one strike, won't that solve everything?"

"One strike?!" Wang Fatty's small eyes widened enormously. He looked at the meter-long sword in Gu Qingfeng's hand, then at the corpse mountain's ten-meter-tall body, with only one thought in his mind - Gu Qingfeng had gone mad.

Finally, the corpse mountain drew near.

In the next second, a cold light flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, and he coldly uttered five words: "Single... Sun-Burning Sword!"

As his words fell, his right hand suddenly exerted force. With a metallic scraping sound, the Yanma was drawn from its scabbard, and a dazzling flash of fire lit up heaven and earth.

Wang Fatty and Xu Fan felt the temperature around them suddenly rise, followed by blinding flames filling their vision.

A sword qi thin as a thread slashed horizontally from in front of Gu Qingfeng in a straight line, like someone had drawn a horizontal stroke across heaven and earth.

Swoosh!

That single stroke flashed through the corpse mountain's body like lightning.

Gradually, the flames disappeared, darkness returned, and everything seemed to return to normal, as if it had all been an illusion.

Wang Fatty and Xu Fan stared in bewilderment, not understanding what had just happened.

They looked at the corpse mountain standing completely intact in its original position, then at Gu Qingfeng who had already sheathed his sword, feeling dumbfounded.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng turned around and walked slowly toward the two, saying calmly: "Don't rush, let the sword qi fly for a while."

The two watched Gu Qingfeng approach, seemingly wanting to say something, but before they could speak.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A violent explosion shook heaven and earth.

Massive flames erupted from the corpse mountain's body. In an instant, before it could even cry out, the corpse mountain was mercilessly consumed by the flames.

It became a huge ten-meter-tall fireball, like the sun had fallen to earth.

The entire Bone Forest was instantly illuminated, and heaven and earth seemed to flip between night and day, from deepest night to brightest day. At this moment... daylight broke!
