Life Dungeon Game

Here is a huge circular hall, tens of meters in diameter, where the ceiling lights hanging from the top of the hall shine like a vast array of stars.

Several broken columns support the hall, and countless blood-stained, shattered brick fragments are scattered on the ground.

At the far end of the hall was a dark, circular passage that seemed to extend deep underground.

A burly, muscular man wearing only black shorts stood before the passageway, a huge black broadsword stuck behind him, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and his eyes closed.

He seemed to be dozing off, or perhaps he was in a deep sleep.

His strong body was covered with all sorts of scars, the largest of which stretched from his neck to his side, almost severing half of his body.

Countless tiny tentacles extended from his muscles, transforming into twisted membranes that sealed his wounds and maintained the integrity of his body.

In a daze, He Ao felt that what was standing in front of him was not a 'living person', but a 'corpse' that had been transformed by a twisted force and forced to stand up.

The shadows on this 'corpse' exuded an aura that He Ao was familiar with.

That seems to be the power of martial arts.

While Heo was gazing at the 'corpse'.

The corpse also raised its head and looked at him.

The strong corpse opened its eyes, revealing a pair of empty eye sockets filled with gray mist.

Then he reached out and pulled out the black broadsword that was stuck behind him.

boom--

With a sudden sonic boom, the corpse vanished from its spot in an instant.

The cold, broadsword, carrying the threat of death, slashed towards Heo.

Grade B!

Later, I'll ask for your guaranteed votes for the beginning of the month!

Chapter 738 Remains of a Rank B Martial Artist, First 'Martial Skill' Obtained (

scandium--

He Ao blocked the broadsword that was slashing down with his sword, and crouched down to deflect the powerful force onto his feet.

The seemingly solid rock floor was instantly riddled with cracks.

At the same time, a violent force flew out from the corpse in front of He Ao. This force scraped across He Ao's body like fine blades, causing a slight pain while stirring up a violent gale.

He Ao's body was not blown away, but Fiya, who was standing next to him, was blown away and crashed into a pillar not far away.

However, this minor injury was nothing to a C-rank. She immediately stood up and loudly reminded He Ao, "I might be able to influence the movement of his weapon!"

Then she immediately closed her eyes.

"Be careful! Don't act rashly!"

He Ao shouted immediately, as he was still unaware of what skills this monster possessed.

At that moment, the broadsword in the corpse's hand paused briefly, as if Fia's ability had taken effect.

Just as her ability took effect, the smoke in the corpse's eyes flickered.

Suddenly, Fiya, who was not far away, froze, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

······

This was delivered way too fast.

He glanced at Fiya's body. Her energy circuits were fine, her soul was fine, and she probably hadn't suffered any serious injuries; she had just fainted.

It must be some kind of mental attack. This kind of attack can't kill a C-rank, but it can stun them.

It's unclear whether this mental attack ability originates from pollution or from the martial artist's own power.

However, He Ao had no time to think about these things at the moment, because all the corpse's attention was focused on him.

The corpse only knocked Fiya unconscious to prevent her from interfering with his actions. He stared intently at He Ao, pressing down his broadsword, as if he sensed some powerful threat from He Ao.

Heo was also watching him.

He Ao was very familiar with the force that had just scraped across his body like a blade; it was 'qi'.

The 'qi' was released uncontrollably and recklessly.

Under the gaze of divine sense, the energy within the corpse before him was chaotic and without any obvious pattern; even the energy gathering points flickered with unstable light.

Clearly, the one who 'awakened' this corpse did not understand the methods of martial arts, but the corpse itself still contained a large amount of 'qi'.

The only skill this corpse possesses in using 'qi' is perhaps to unleash it recklessly for area-of-effect attacks.

This corpse is very strong. Judging from the combat power it unleashed, its physical attributes may have exceeded three thousand. It was probably an extremely powerful martial artist before it died.

The good news is that divine sense accompanies the soul, and since the being that awakened the 'corpse' doesn't understand martial arts, this corpse most likely cannot use 'divine sense,' the strongest auxiliary ability in martial arts.

His power was mostly gone; he was just a powerful shell.

However, this was He Ao's first time fighting against a truly powerful martial arts expert.

He gripped the hilt of the bone sword with both hands, activated his super memory, and suddenly unleashed his power, slowly rising...

He thrust the broadsword back at the corpse before him, shouting, "Come on!"

The corpse immediately drew its sword and took half a step back, neutralizing He Ao's thrust. At the same time, it spun the sword downwards, changing the slash to a sweeping motion. The huge broadsword, accompanied by a whistling sound, came up towards He Ao's chest.

He Ao immediately slashed his sword downwards, blocking the upward thrust and pulling it to the side.

Immediately afterward, the corpse raised its sword again and swung it horizontally towards He Ao's chest. He Ao raised his sword and flicked it away with a sudden burst of strength.

These movements looked complex, but they were completed in a very short time. In this brief exchange, his body did not move backward at all, while the corpse took a half step back because of the loss of momentum.

However, this does not prove that the corpse was weaker than Heo.

Even with He Ao activating his super memory, the combined power he can unleash is still weaker than that of the corpse.

However, he did not use his fist technique to amplify his power.

He had already tried it when he killed West. After Super Memory advanced to B-level, using fist techniques, the amplified strength of over 6,000 was indeed strong, but the burden on his body also reached a limit, and every second was overdrawing his body.

That was already his desperate last resort. Using it now will damage his body, and he might not be able to get past the fourth level or even the possible fifth level.

Moreover, this was his first time fighting against the power left behind by a martial arts master. Maintaining a fair balance of power would allow him to observe the 'senior's' tactics and techniques and see if he could 'learn' anything from it.

At this moment, the corpse seemed to notice that He Ao's strength was inferior to his. He drew his sword, took a half step back, and then turned around with his sword on his back. The huge broadsword spun behind him and above his head.

He Ao immediately stepped forward, thrusting his sword forward, trying to interrupt the sword dance he was building up. But in that instant, the corpse suddenly turned around, and the sword that was originally dancing behind him suddenly spun around and was thrown in front of him in the blink of an eye, striking the bone sword in He Ao's hand.

The immense force caused He Ao's wrist to go numb, and the bone sword was sent flying.

Without hesitation, He Ao leaped diagonally in the direction where the bone sword had been sent flying.

At this moment, the broadsword in the corpse's hand changed from a slash to a chop, and with a whistling wind, it slashed down and landed on the spot where He Ao had just stood, splashing up a cloud of flying pebbles.

He Ao rolled and landed next to a still intact pillar. He glanced at the bone sword that had flown far away and was stuck in the ground, and gently raised his hand.

Get things from the air!

The bone sword instantly appeared in his hand.

He's attention was focused on the corpse in front of him.

If he had reacted even a fraction slower just now, he might have been cut in two.

The corpses before me have lost all intelligence; their fighting skills are probably reduced to mere instinct.

However, even relying solely on instinct, he can still unleash formidable power.

He Ao watched the energy flow within the corpse. He could clearly sense that this chaotic energy actually had a certain regularity at certain times.

When the corpse delivered that fatal slash, He Ao could clearly sense that the energy was flowing in a certain regular pattern.

These regular flows significantly amplified the attacks from the corpses.

This flow method is similar to the energy flow of He Ao's boxing style.

The methods of movement are somewhat similar, but not exactly the same.

Most importantly, because this flow method has become an instinct of the body, without the amplification of other techniques, it allows Heo to have the opportunity to glimpse the essence of this energy flow.

He Ao's thoughts lasted only a very short moment, and at that moment, the corpses rushed up again.

This time, he dragged his sword forward and swung it suddenly at He Ao's face, the surging power striking He Ao's cheek.

If this strike lands, it could shatter He Ao's head.

He Ao used the momentum to roll away and dodge the attack. At the same time, he placed his hand in front of his chest and instantly immersed his divine sense into the jade pendant.

A surging, polluted roar appeared in his mind, and at the same time, the energy flow within the corpse was displayed in his 'vision' without any concealment.

It turned out to be the case.

At that moment, the broadsword swung by the corpse struck the massive pillar behind He Ao, which was nearly two meters in diameter, shattering it into pieces. With a deafening roar, the pillar collapsed abruptly.

The corpse continued its movements without pause, smashing through the shattered dust and hurtling towards He Ao with a whooshing sound.

This time, he didn't use the method of dragging the sword to build up power. Instead, he used the fastest swinging sword to slash. He seemed to realize that He Ao's speed was not bad. If he built up his power, He Ao would have a good chance to dodge.

At the same time, He Ao released his grip on the jade pendant, tucked it into the innermost part of his clothes, and took the blow head-on with his sword.

The corpse suddenly swung its sword again, slashing at Heo.

He held his sword horizontally in front of him, once again blocking the slashing blows from the corpse.

At the same time, he kept recalling the energy flow when the corpse swung its sword, comparing these energy flow patterns with the energy flow of his own fist techniques, and integrating them into his own energy circulation.

This appears to be a special way to amplify heavy attacks.

While pondering, He Ao suddenly raised his sword and swung it fiercely at the corpse's neck.

The corpse seemed not to have expected He Ao to try to compete with him in a heavy blow, so he directly swung his sword to gather momentum and slashed at He Ao's blade.

In that instant, He Ao channeled his divine sense, immersing the skin of his chest into the jade pendant.

The effect of this immersion doesn't seem as good as holding it in your hand, but at this moment, He Ao only needs some simple 'vision' to verify his guess.

In that instant, from a higher vantage point, He Ao clearly saw the direction of energy flow within the corpse.
