Excluding the advantages of innate genius and high-level martial arts, the division of levels represents an absolute chasm.
Just as a martial artist can only try to escape when facing a martial master, a martial master is also powerless against a martial marquis, and even escaping becomes a luxury.
This is because, apart from the most obvious differences in strength, internal energy, and martial arts, they have already integrated their spirit into their entire bodies, eliminating any absolute physical weaknesses, and they also possess the instinct to absolutely control the spirits of the powerful beings below!
Looking around at the surging waves of blood and the mass of flesh and bones, it was as if evil spirits from the underworld had been unleashed, intending to wipe out all life in this place and turn it into a desolate wasteland.
Luo Dutou's heart sank lower and lower. All he could do now was use his inner energy to protect his brothers behind him, so that they wouldn't be killed by the divine incarnation of the Marquis Wu, their flesh and bones rotting away, and a dignified young man dying in humiliation!
"Who exactly are you people?"
Given the current situation, Luo Dutou's last prayer was that his brothers in the cave would sense the danger and leave with the compass and intelligence.
"That's not important. What's important is that you either submit to me or immediately commit suicide to become my provisions. Otherwise, you will suffer a fate where you can neither live nor die."
Most of the beasts that had gathered were now separated from their flesh and blood, leaving the ground splattered with blood. A few half-demons and a wolf demon that had taken advantage of the chaos to steal food were all pierced and wounded in the subsequent attack by a forest of blood spears that condensed and thrust out from the earth. Finally, they were swallowed and digested by the writhing flesh.
But this was the limit. Dao Chengyi transformed his own form, like sculpting a puppet, using a part of his own flesh and blood as the core, removing the bones below, and using the flesh and blood as materials to create a man in a blood-red robe, blood-red hair, and white bone mask.
Barefoot, they tread upon waves of blood; with a flick of their wrist, they ascend to a throne of white bones. Numerous chunks of flesh are laid out like a carpet, and with a single thought, a hundred flesh flowers bloom. In an instant, a strange fragrance, contrasting with the distant red maple and osmanthus blossoms, spreads throughout this place.
When the Wanwo Gu, Blood and Flesh Gu, Blood Gu, Living Bone Gu, and Medicine Master Gu are activated together, they create such a bloody and demonic scene. However, in terms of being a Martial Marquis, they are far from being one, but the other side naturally wouldn't know that.
"Think about the weak ants behind you. Some of them have wives and children, while others have not yet started a family. Their fate is in your hands."
Dao Chengyi used the Power Gu to transform the alien power within Zhang Erhe, who was kneeling behind him, and then transferred it to Zhang Erhe. Dao Chengyi then ordered him to go and deal with the person in the cave. If he couldn't do such a small thing, he could just become Gu material.
Seeing Zhang Erhe's actions, Luo Dutou's heart sank. Then, with a determined effort, he kicked off the ground and, amidst the flying blood and cracked earth, unleashed a thirteen-strike blow at Zhang Erhe.
However, the flesh and blood that had taken root here, like a scab, were formed from the very fabric that had existed before him, creating a net that encompassed the entire world. Layer upon layer, it continuously and with increasing resilience eliminated all the shadows and forces of the sticks.
Then countless piercing, blood-soaked thorns and straight, barbed spears tore through the battlefield, forcing Commander Luo to turn around.
Attacks made from the flesh and blood of ordinary wild beasts do not pose a direct threat to martial artists in terms of lethality, but there are so many of them here.
With the presence of the Myriad Self Gu, and with ample raw materials for conversion and energy supply, Dao Chengyi will soon experience his own explosive growth.
Luo Dutou had obviously also noticed this. He wanted to clear a path for his subordinates first, so he unleashed his inner strength and smashed down with his staff. One after another, large deer with ice antlers trampled down, and the ice shattered, turning the already cool and shady place into the cold of winter.
Blood froze into ice, and flesh and bones clung together, instantly sealing off a large area. They didn't attempt to kill Dao Chengyi's avatar, because no matter what they did, they couldn't inflict any real damage. It was better to escape or kill Zhang Erhe!
"Come with me!"
The illusory giant deer continuously created icy terrain, turning the precarious situation into a safe one. As a result, the constables, who had been helplessly commanded and whose flesh and blood were now able to move an inch.
"Boss...you guys go first...I can't leave..."
With his throat broken and unable to speak, and his legs reduced to bone by being gnawed away, the young constable, his eyes red, prepared to draw his sword to buy time for his comrades.
"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. I brought you out here, and I'll definitely bring you back safe and sound! Besides, I already promised your father!"
With a flick of his staff, Luo Du Tou hoisted the constable onto his back and then transformed into a pile driver, using brute force far exceeding that of a martial artist and his internal energy martial arts skills that were easy to use in the environment to completely destroy the place.
One blow turns to mud, another shatters to pieces, one blow sends flesh and bone flying, another stirs up pools of blood and turmoil. Such performances gradually made him understand the true nature of Dao Chengyi.
"You're nothing but a charlatan who uses a few sorcerous tricks to activate the Mud Palace's supernatural powers! Haha! Today, let's see what you can do to me!"
This is one of the reasons why Dao Chengyi arranged for Zhang Erhe to leave. After all, he was indeed a mediocre person. He was only a second-level cultivator among the constables who came here. If he were to become more deeply involved, Dao Chengyi would not only be unable to keep him, but would probably beat him to a pulp.
After all, there are differences in skill, strength, understanding, and experience, so this result is already gratifying, not to mention...
"A difference of a hair's breadth is like an insurmountable chasm, beyond comprehension."
The power of the Gu swept over the frozen flesh and blood, and the Gu devoured it all. The blood surged again, and thick arms extended, without skin, made entirely of muscle, blood vessels and bones, forming shapes of human or animal limbs, all heading towards the direction where Luo Dutou had fled.
