All kinds of Gu worms follow one's will. Blood Qi Gu amplifies one's own blood and erodes the enemy. Blood Hand Gu transforms the enemy's flesh and blood into liquid. One's own blood is manipulated by Blood Gu to become a material for shaping, changing at will, sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like steel.
The Living Bone Gu transforms its bones, its bone armor breaks through the body to defend against enemy attacks, its bone spear spirals to its limit and shatters with a single point, it melts bones and absorbs marrow to cut off the enemy's strength, and it reverses the keratin to hinder the enemy's movement!
The Sound-Hearing Gu is quick to react to sounds, silently inflicting devastating damage. The Flesh-Blood Gu transforms flesh into puppets, and when combined with strength, creates flesh-and-blood puppets that can take on various beast forms on their own!
The Painted Skin Gu peels off its own skin, activating it to become a life form that, when paired with the Human Toad Gu, envelops the enemy in one bite, binding, capturing, and dissolving flesh and blood. The Needle Blood Thread Gu and the Puppet Gu are forcibly controlled!
This is how Gu Dao is used! Even a weak Gu worm can combine with other Gu worms to unleash a hundred times its power!
What does it matter if hands and feet are severed? Flesh and blood can grow back strong! Even if beheaded and entrails are removed, the heart will not perish; the soul will be reborn and Xing Tian will be swept away!
That's how it is, a body of steel and iron, flesh and blood so tenacious and indestructible, that's how it is! Even if flesh and blood fly everywhere and bones are broken! Even if a 300-pound person is hacked to pieces, leaving a thousand pounds of flesh and blood!
He is immortal! He can fight again!
"Very good! Among all the martial artists in Nanshan Dao, you can be considered one of the top ones!"
"What a tenacious life, what a domineering body, what bizarre and extraordinary abilities!"
Another punch and sword slashed a deep, bone-revealing wound on Dao Chengyi's body, almost piercing through his internal organs and just barely reaching his spine. But the next second, the flesh healed and the injury disappeared. Instead, Dao Chengyi's wolf-like fist viciously tore off a large chunk of flesh from his body, along with the fragile bones, which were also smashed to pieces.
This time, Sword Master has indeed regressed, which also means that Dao Chengyi's martial arts body has finally reached a limit! A limit that can defeat a martial master!
But it still wasn't enough! His height increased again, he was enveloped in thick blood mist, countless tentacles sprouted from his flesh, and numerous small beasts transformed from fallen flesh accompanied him. Dao Chengyi sensed this power, seemingly capable of shattering the mountain with a single punch, but it was merely an illusion!
"Again!"
The enemy was far from going all out. Even in this state, Dao Chengyi was only on par with others in terms of strength and vitality. Yes, on par. Sword Master was definitely not an ordinary martial artist. In this state, Dao Chengyi could easily shatter the internal energy defenses of normal martial artists and crush them with a single punch after a few training sessions!
"Getting carried away isn't good. You've probably already used up most of your hard work."
"Then let me show you something you should pay more attention to next: internal energy is the true path!"
Sword Master's clothes were mostly torn, but his ivory-yellow skin remained healthy. With a single gesture, the longsword that shone in the darkness in the distance swiftly came into his grasp.
Dao Cheng's fist, piled high with bone armor and protected by a defensive layer formed by copper and silver skin Gu that were unique to sword blades, hurtled towards Sword Incense Master.
The hilltop had been completely blasted, dropping thirty to forty centimeters in height, demonstrating the ferocity of the attack and brawl.
But this time was different. The intense heat of summer clung to the sword blade, and amidst the swaying shadows of lotus flowers, schools of fish swam and rose. Although all that could be seen was water, what came to mind was the restless, scorching heat of summer, a time of vigorous labor.
Fish playing among lotus flowers
Sword Master, who was unusually serious at the moment, uttered the name of his move and then flicked his wrist at Dao Chengyi's fist, like a fish biting a lotus flower. Although it looked light and agile, the effect was that his inner energy enveloped Dao Chengyi's entire arm and then bit it off.
Summer locust plague
Then, with another move, the imagined scene instantly changed, transforming from the purity of the lotus into a vast expanse of yellowish-brown earth, a scene of poverty and desolation, scorching and parched in the blazing heat of summer!
This move completely enveloped Dao Chengyi's entire body, revealing his thick muscles, tenacious life force, and body that was as tough as it could possibly be.
It was devoured in an instant by the locust plague, and in the end, only half of its flesh and blood, still hanging in the air, fell out. At this point, the Sword Master made no further moves.
"Why don't you use that lightning attack? If you do, I'll be in danger too."
Sword Master shook the blood off his sword. Although his body was unharmed, his face behind the mask was not very good. Being hit like that, even other fifth-level martial artists might have been defeated. Such brute force, when clad in armor, was truly a force capable of breaking through ten thousand troops.
Where did this monster come from? Martial artists are this powerful? If they really become martial masters, how much internal energy can such a body generate? It's terrifying to even think about.
Why not use it?
"Of course, it was just that the timing wasn't right before."
Exhausted... Once his strength was depleted, he felt boundless fatigue. Controlling such power and expending so much energy, Dao Chengyi also felt exhausted.
This is only if the martial artist understands the martial arts and the Gu cauldron is fully supporting his energy expenditure; otherwise, with so many Gu used, which third-level cultivator would dare to play like this?
But the end was not yet over. Dao Chengyi heard Jian Xiangzhu's question, and his restored body returned to its normal human form, reducing the unnecessary consumption.
He opened his arms, seemingly reminiscing about his recent power, or perhaps feeling proud of his own exceptional talent and the praise he had received from the strong.
A great wind surged from the mountains, much larger and faster than the one Dao Chengyi had stirred up, and its range was incomparably vast.
This represents a rain, an autumn rain, and the rain comes very quickly, so quickly that the wind appears, and the moon, which is still bright one second, is covered by water-laden clouds the next.
The fine rain continued to fall, and the first drop landed on the two of them, but it was shaken off without getting wet at all.
