Chapter 10 Corpse Transformation
The eighth level of Pure Yang Kung (special effect: Pure Yang Qi)

Su Heng had heard about the concept of true Qi from his cheap master Ning Zhibai.

The so-called true qi, to put it simply, is the embodiment of the human body's essence, energy and spirit. Only masters with strong bodies, full spirits, and peak attributes can sense the existence of true qi in their bodies. But Su Heng's state at this time is different. Not only can he feel it clearly, but he can also use it.

"call……"

Su Heng took a long breath, his chest expanded, and the edges and corners of his loose robe were propped up.

As the Qi circulated in his body, his body temperature rose rapidly, and thick red veins appeared on his bronze skin. Sweat was secreted from his pores, absorbing heat and evaporating, forming a substantial mist on his body.

The mist twisted the setting sun, leaping and surging, and from a distance it looked like a raging flame was burning on it. The edge of Su Heng's black robe also moved without wind, fluttering up and down!
Swish!
Su Heng exhaled and opened his eyes.

The originally pitch-black pupils now looked as if torches were burning, appearing a scorching dark red.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is an ancient tree that is so big that two people can hug it. No one knows what kind of tree it is, nor how many years it has been growing here, but it is lush and leafy.

boom!
Su Heng threw a punch.

The wind from the fist tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

The ancient tree seemed to be hit by a cannonball, with a loud noise and a large number of dead branches and leaves falling down.

Su Heng clasped his arms in front of him, inhaled and exhaled slowly, allowing the pure Yang Qi to gradually disperse and return to normal.

He looked down at the ancient tree beside him, his pupils narrowed slightly.

But he saw a basin-sized hole suddenly appeared where he was punched.

Moreover, the edges were pitch black, with curls of white smoke, and obvious signs of carbonization had already appeared. Being able to break and knock down an ancient tree with a mortal body was barely within Su Heng's comprehension. But turning a living tree into charcoal with one punch was a bit mysterious.

Before he could figure out the mystery, a loud noise came from outside the wall, interrupting Su Heng's thoughts.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle!"

"The Xu family is really unlucky this time. All the hundreds of people in the family are gone. Only some guards and servants are still alive."

"Xu family!?"

Even though the sound was noisy, there was a wall between us.

But Su Heng still clearly heard the conversation coming from outside. He was stunned at first, and then Xu De's slightly silly smile emerged in his mind. Then his face turned cold, he pushed open the door, pushed away the pedestrians in front of him, and hurried towards the direction of Xu's house.

……

After Su Heng crossed two streets, he arrived at the door of Xu's house.

A lot of people have gathered here.

In the open space in front of the Xu family's house, there were hundreds of corpses neatly arranged together, and the air was filled with a strange stench of corruption.

A lot of people had gathered around, including silent onlookers, Xu family servants who looked stupid, and officers holding sabers to maintain order and separate the crowd. Two elderly coroners were squatting beside the body with frowns on their faces, examining it to find the possible cause of death. But judging from the coroners' repeated shaking of their heads and occasional sighs, the examination was obviously not going smoothly.

Su Heng also saw his father, Old Man Su, in the crowd. He had a dull look on his face and a hint of fear in his eyes.

In Changqing County, the power of the Xu family and the Su family is not much different, and the mansions of the two families are only two streets apart.

however,
Overnight.

Such a large and powerful family, all the family members, young and old, died in an orderly manner.

This made Mr. Su feel a strong sense of crisis.

Thinking of the water ghost attack that happened at home not long ago, Mr. Su was even more frightened, and his obviously fat body trembled. If it weren't for the servants beside him supporting his arms, he could hardly stand on the ground by his own strength.

Su Heng is strong and taller than ordinary people. Standing among the crowd, he is like a crane among chickens.

Mr. Su also discovered his son.

Su Heng had spent a lot of money on martial arts before, and Old Master Su had some complaints about it. But now, he feels lucky. Although Su Gui is old, his personality is not old-fashioned. He realized that the world is changing, and practicing martial arts can better protect himself.

And his children are indeed very talented in this area.

Even though Su Gui knew nothing about martial arts, he could clearly feel this from the changes that had taken place in Su Heng during this period of time.

"Give me a moment, give me a moment!"

A group of yamen runners wearing black robes and holding swords pushed through the crowd and trotted over to support.

The leader was a burly man with a dark face. His name was Song Baoyi, a police officer in the Patrol Division. He was quite skilled and had solved many difficult cases, so he was well-known in Changqing County. However, looking at the hundreds of corpses neatly laid out in front of him, Song Baoyi's face turned very ugly.

This kind of thing was beyond his understanding.

Murder?

But there were no obvious external injuries on the bodies, and who could have killed all of the more than 100 members of the Xu family without making any noise?

Poisoned?

This possibility is quite high.

However, it was discovered that the corpse had begun to rot and stink in less than half a day, revealing something unusual.

Song Baoyi recalled the frequent drowning cases that occurred in Changqing County more than half a month ago.

Judging from the cause of death.

There are indeed similarities between the two.

Could it be...

Are there really ghosts, monsters and demons in this world?
There were quite a few people around and the sun had not yet set, but when he thought of this, Song Baoyi felt a chill running up his spine.

After all, he had experienced life and death. He shook his head gently and put aside such messy thoughts.

"Did you find anything on the body?" Song Baoyi squatted beside a worker, his eyes lingering on the dark and swollen corpse, and asked in a low voice.

"It seems he died of poisoning," the coroner replied.

"What kind of poison is it exactly?"

"It's hard to say..." The coroner shook his head. "But it's related to the well water. These people drank the water from the well, which led to the accident. Some servants and guards of the Xu family were spared because they had staggered meal times."

"It's the well again," Song Baoyi frowned.

"Song, Captain Song..." a trembling voice of an officer came into his ears.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his men trembling in fear, Song Baoyi got a little angry and his voice became a little stern.

"The body seems to be moving."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Song Baoyi flicked his long sleeves and stood up.

Before he finished speaking, a terrified and piercing scream followed. The coroner who had just been talking to Song Baoyi opened his eyes wide, and a dark blue mouth bit his neck. Two rows of yellow teeth pierced into the flesh, and hot blood flowed out from the gaps between the teeth.

The crowd was silent at first, then burst into screams of terror and fled desperately.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Under the blood-red sunset, those members of the Xu family who were supposed to be dead stood up staggeringly from the ground, their shadows leaving long black marks on the pale floor.
