Mushroom Man

Chapter 179 No Remains, Yet a Heroine Among Women

No bones left!

This is a killing move that Bone Immortal developed specifically for himself after he turned into a skeleton corpse.

This deadly move uses deathly gray bones as its weapon.

As its name suggests, any mushroom master pierced by it will be reduced to ashes along with their bones, leaving no trace.

In fact, logically speaking, with his body being a third-stage hairy zombie, Bone Master should not have been able to unleash this killing move at all.

Moreover, his dantian was destroyed, making it impossible for him to generate true qi.

But he had anticipated this all along.

Even before transforming into a zombie, it had already tampered with itself, using the methods of a fifth-level mushroom master to seal some backup plans within its bones.

Among these backup plans is a Qi-absorbing mushroom, which can store true qi and mobilize it when necessary.

What is a five-turn mushroom master?

This is a level 5 mushroom master!
Even in this state, they are not someone a junior can bully at will.

"die..."

Bone Master's tone was icy.

As soon as he finished speaking, strands of deathly gray bones shot through the air, heading straight for Morobi.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected that Bone Master would be forced to resort to such a last resort by Morobi.

This is troublesome...

Wu Liang wanted to cooperate with Morobi, but he never expected to actually fight her to the death.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately tried to stop him without hesitation.

However, by this point, it was already too late.

The ash bones moved extremely fast; wherever they passed, the rubble, affected by the death energy, crumbled and vanished into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Morobi.

Upon seeing this, Morobi felt no fear, but rather was so excited that her face flushed.

She neither dodged nor avoided the blow, and actually took the blow that left her with nothing but bones.

With lightning speed, Ash Bone struck Morobi hard.

Just listen to a "bang"!
Morobi was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the stone wall.

However, unexpectedly...
She did not vanish into thin air simply because her remains were never found.

After the ashes dissipated, only a shocking crater remained on his chest.

Soon, Morobi swayed and stood up again.

"This, how is this possible?"

Upon seeing this, Bone Master was terrified.

For a moment, they dared not make any rash moves.

No one knew better than him just how terrifying his move was.

In all his years of life, he had never seen anyone who could withstand the complete destruction of their body with just their physical form.

What kind of monster is this successor of the Formless lineage? How can he be so outrageous?

No, that's not right...

When this guy was hit by the gray bones, his life force was indeed affected by the death energy.

In that instant, a powerful life force seemed to surge from his body, directly counteracting the death aura on the ashes.

Gu Zhenren gradually came to his senses.

He seemed to have thought of something, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Morobi was no longer that of an ordinary third-level mushroom master.

"cough……"

"What a brilliant move, leaving no trace of the body."

"I was just a hair's breadth away from dying."

Moro wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes shining brightly.

At this moment, the aura emanating from her body was no longer as powerful as before.

However, it seems they still have other methods they haven't used yet.

Faintly, the phantom images of beasts of various shapes appeared and disappeared.

Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man was still alive.

Judging from her appearance, it's clear she intends to fight again.

Wu Liang frowned and immediately spoke in a deep voice: "What? You still want to fight?"

“Miss Morobi, if this fight continues, things will get complicated…”

His meaning was very clear.

If we stop now, then it can still be considered a friendly exchange.

But if they continue fighting, they might really get into a fight.

By then, it probably won't be so easy to stop.

Although Morobi was combative, she was not simple-minded and understood Wu Liang's meaning perfectly well.

She let out a long breath and glanced at the silent Bone Immortal with some resentment.

"Hmph, I didn't expect your zombie to be so powerful."

"I'm no match for you, I've lost this time."

"But this time is one thing, next time I'll give you a proper fight!"

Morobi readily admitted that she had lost to Wu Liang.

Only family members know their own affairs...

The price she paid to withstand that "body to dust" attack was considerable.

Not only did it forcibly activate the 'supreme bloodline' within its body, but it also consumed a single-use healing mushroom.

It's impossible for her to prevent a second complete annihilation in a short period of time.

This zombie named Bone Master might be able to unleash a second killing move. If the fight continues, she'll probably have to completely expose her 'supreme bloodline'.

Moreover, from beginning to end, this successor of the Formless Sect never personally made a move; he merely directed Mao Jiang to fight her fiercely.

Who knows if this guy has any other tricks up his sleeve?

You have to understand that this guy claims to be a disciple of an immortal, so who knows what even more powerful methods he might have up his sleeve.

Clearly, Morobi had misunderstood something.

She mistook the Bone Immortal for the hairy zombie raised by Wu Liang.

Wu Liang's ability to cultivate such a powerful Mao Jiang undoubtedly makes him a worthy friend of Morobi.

"No wonder you're so arrogant, you don't even put a fourth-level mushroom master in your eyes."

"With this hairy zombie, and if I were to join forces with my mother, there is indeed a 20-30% chance that we could kill that White Horn leader."

"If you have any more powerful methods, perhaps you can raise the percentage by another 20% or 30%."

"Since you defeated me, you undoubtedly have the right to make me risk my life to make you turn the world upside down."

"I don't know what your plans are, but I'll listen to you."

Morobi was very straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

If Wu Liang defeated her this time, then Wu Liang is the strong one and she is the weak one.

The weak must listen to the strong.

As the stronger one, Wu Liang naturally had the right to give her orders.

Morobi's frank and straightforward nature left Wu Liang speechless.

He had never met anyone with a personality like Morobi.

Previously, in Zhaodi Town, all the mushroom growers he had encountered were cunning and calculating individuals.

At this moment, they suddenly encountered Morobi, a heroine who was cunning and only knew how to use her fists.

For a moment, Wu Liang felt somewhat out of place.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have wasted his breath talking about the Holy Religion or the merit of following the emperor.

Why not just have a fight and let Master Gu beat this belligerent madwoman into submission? There's no need to tell so many lies.
"Only 20% or 30%...?"

Wu Liang suppressed his distracting thoughts, then seemed to be deep in thought, remaining silent.

Although Morobi's strength is not as good as that of a fourth-level mushroom master, she is already in a class of her own among third-level mushroom masters.

If Bone Master were to use his trump card, he would also be in a class of his own.

However, even combined, the two of them were still inferior to the fourth-level mushroom master in Morobi's eyes.

Could it be that he's just too confident and arrogant?

Wu Liang frowned, realizing that he might have underestimated the Fourth-Rank Mushroom Master.

Without Bone Master, he wouldn't even be able to deal with Morobi, let alone a fourth-level mushroom master.

Wu Liang vaguely sensed that something seemed off about him.

When did he lose his fear of the strong and become so arrogant, conceited, and confident?
Is it because of the experience in Zhaodi Town?

Master Wen, Wu Xingzhe, the three clan heads, and even Abbot Shanren and Blood River Ancestor.

These fourth and fifth-level mushroom masters were all incredibly powerful, but they all died at his hands due to various indirect factors.

Anyone who had this experience would probably be even more arrogant than Wu Liang.

However, this may be one of the reasons, but it is not enough to have led him to become what he is today.

So……

So it seems that only fragmented memories remain as the cause.

Is it because of the Blood River Ancestor?
Wu Liang's eyes were deep and unfathomable, but he was helpless about it.

Even though he now knows that he may have been affected by fragments of memory, the die is cast, and without reverence, there is no reverence.

Wu Liang wants to change, but this kind of subtle personality influence cannot be achieved overnight.

"Well, at least it doesn't seem so bad now, and nothing serious has happened."

"Sometimes arrogance is better than timidity and hesitation."

"However, since Morobidu said that there is only a 20% to 30% chance of killing the White Horn leader."

"Then the plan does need to be changed again."

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts.

He looked at Morobi, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Now that we've decided to take action against the White Horn leader, a mere 20% or 30% certainty is far from enough."

"At the very least, we need to be more than 50% sure."

In my humble opinion, we probably need some help.

"A helper?" Morobi raised an eyebrow.

Wu Liang nodded slightly and said, "Now that the Black Horn chieftain is dead, no one in the Black Horn tribe can threaten us."

"Even so, I intend to support Miss Morobi to take the position of Black Horn Leader."

"In this way, the mushroom masters of the Black Horn tribe can become our help in dealing with the White Horn chief."

"If used properly, it can at least increase our chances by 10% or 20%."

"The only stumbling block we need to watch out for is that so-called high priest."

"Miss Morobi, how much do you know about that high priest?"

Upon hearing this, Morobi pondered for a moment before speaking, "That high priest's cultivation is inferior to mine; he is probably at the advanced stage of the third rank."

"However, he is a slave mushroom master who commands a large swarm of poisonous bees, making him very difficult to deal with. Moreover, he is highly respected and has extensive connections."

"If we want to take action against them, we must strike them dead in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if they are given a chance to breathe, the outcome will be uncertain."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang had an idea in mind.

He smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's alright, I already have a plan."

"Three days from now, you and I must kill this man..."
