High Martial Arts: From Mechanic to Sword Immortal

Chapter 79 Corpse Transformation! Blood Gu Attack

Gu Yun rushed over from the patrol path along the outer wall, carrying an assault rifle, and looked at the headless corpse on the ground.

He glanced up again at the No. 3 water tower, which was disappearing into the night about 700 or 800 meters away, and exclaimed in astonishment, "That's it?! I just turned off the safety!"

Wang Meng stepped forward and kicked the shriveled corpse twice with his heavy military boots.

"That's really weird."

Wang Meng spat, "A dozen psionic rifles fired simultaneously, but the armor-piercing bullets didn't even scratch the surface."

Zhang Hao didn't reply. He squatted beside the corpse, his eyes fixed on the bowl-sized hole in the right chest.

Upon closer inspection, the physical damage to the wound is even more shocking.

That was definitely not the kinetic energy damage caused by an ordinary bullet. The entire edge of the penetration hole was unusually smooth, as if it had been forcibly milled by a high-precision industrial lathe.

The muscle tissue around the wound underwent physical necrosis, turning purplish-black, due to the instantaneous high temperature and extremely high frequency spiral impact, without even a drop of blood flowing out.

This kind of micro-manipulation and compression of qi and blood and kinetic energy has completely exceeded the theoretical limits of martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm.

Han Feng carried the "Thunderfire-3" gun, its barrel still smoking, on his back.

Han Feng slid down the rusty iron ladder on the outer wall of the water tower quickly, rushed through the muddy alley, and rejoined the others.

"Good lad, ruthless and accurate!"

Wang Defa put away the blood-stained large ring-backed machete, patted Han Feng on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.

"More than 100 meters away, a moving target, specifically targeting the moment when the old force is exhausted before pulling the trigger."

This marksmanship would be top-notch in the city defense army's sniper squad!

"Captain Wang, you flatter me."

Han Feng slung the rifle over his shoulder and exchanged casual pleasantries.

Just as he was about to say something to change the subject, a large patch of blinding red light suddenly appeared in his right eye's [Spiritual Vision] field of vision, which hadn't fully closed due to overexertion!

Inside the headless corpse on the ground, the dark red malevolent energy that should have dissipated rapidly upon the death of its host had not disappeared at all.

Instead, it was like a bomb under extreme pressure, collapsing madly towards the center of the chest cavity at an alarming speed.

A chilling, brutal hunger pierced Han Feng's brain through the higher dimensions of his perception.

"Back off! Disperse!"

Han Feng's hair stood on end instantly. He roared and stomped his feet on the ground.

He was thrown backwards seven or eight meters as if he were on a spring.

Almost at the same instant he uttered the words, the chest cavity of the headless corpse on the ground exploded without warning from within.

Large clumps of purplish-black poisonous blood and bits of flesh sprayed outwards in a fan shape.

A crimson streak of light shot out from the flesh at an incredible speed, heading straight for Zhang Hao's face, who was closest to it.

The incident happened so fast that even the retired veterans on the perimeter didn't have time to react.

"Bang!"

Zhang Hao had extremely rich practical experience. The moment Han Feng roared, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

[Eagle Eye Lock] Talent bursts at full power instantly!

His pupils contracted sharply, and everything around him slowed down in Zhang Hao's vision. He finally saw the true form of the scarlet streak of light.

That wasn't a hidden weapon at all, but a translucent worm about the size of an adult's thumb!

The insect's entire body was a strange blood-jade color, with two pairs of nearly transparent thin wings on its back, vibrating at a high frequency of thousands of times per second, emitting an extremely faint but penetrating buzzing sound.

The front end of the worm is covered with a ring of tiny barbs, resembling those of a meat grinder.

"The Eight Forms of Breaking the Army - Teasing!"

Zhang Hao planted his feet in a horse stance and swung his knife diagonally upwards with a backhand motion.

The internal energy of the third level of the Meridian Opening Realm circulated wildly within his body. The pale blue aura of [Blade Aura Possessed] on the blade of the alloy longsword emitted a sharp light that stretched for half a foot, forcefully slashing towards the blood-red flesh worm.

"clang!"

A piercing metallic bang exploded in mid-air.

Zhang Hao felt an absurdly large surge of kinetic energy rushing towards him along the blade.

His strike was powerful enough to shatter a steel plate a finger thick, but when he struck this thumb-sized worm, it was as if he had struck a solid high-grade alloy ingot!

The wound on the tiger's mouth, which had just begun to heal, burst open again, and blood flowed freely.

Zhang Hao was jolted back two steps by the strange force, his wrist went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the knife handle.

The blood-red worm was not only unharmed, but also, using the reaction force of Zhang Hao's blade, it made an extremely strange sharp turn in mid-air.

It defied the laws of physics, and its speed increased instead of decreasing.

It bypassed Zhang Hao's defenses and, like a blood-red bullet, headed straight for Wang Meng, who was standing at the rear!

"Wang Meng! Protect your seven orifices!"

Zhang Hao roared fiercely, his face changing drastically, "This is that bastard's natal Gu worm! Its host is dead, and it desperately needs to find a high-level body to replenish its energy!"

Wang Meng is over two meters tall and possesses unparalleled strength in the Sharp Sword Team.

But faced with this bizarre thing, about the size of a thumb and moving so fast it left a blur, there was no time to swing the heavy alloy axe in his hand.

He could only instinctively raise his two thick arms and cross them in front of his face.

Han Feng had already picked up the scorching hot "Thunderfire-3" again.

The Qi and blood of the eighth level of body tempering were once again pressed into the gun barrel, and the index finger was already on the trigger.

But his eyes were glued to the scope, and he dared not fire.

The blood gu flew too low, and Wang Meng's massive body blocked the firing axis perfectly.

Even if this shot hits the Blood Gu, the delayed explosion caused by the high-frequency spiral force would still shred half of Wang Meng's body into minced meat!

"Get down here!"

A roar like muffled thunder exploded in the alleyway.

Wang Defa had somehow managed to get to Wang Meng's side.

This man, who was in the early stage of the Enlightenment Realm, had his feet firmly planted in the mud of the farm, like two steel nails.

He flipped his wrist, and the tip of the large ring-backed machete plunged into the soil beneath his feet.

The "Thick Earth and Rock Technique" was pushed to its limit. The earth-yellow "Rock True Qi" was no longer contained, but was directly poured into the earth through the tip of the knife.

Standard Martial Art: [Ground-Splitting Wave]!

The surface of the mud trembled violently, like waves on water.

A visible fan-shaped gravitational wave surged upwards from the ground, directly enveloping the airspace with a radius of three meters in front of it.

The blood jade worm, which was originally as fast as lightning, seemed to suddenly plunge into sticky glue the moment it rushed into the range of the gravity wave.

Its two pairs of thin wings, vibrating at high frequencies, were forcibly suppressed by the heavy earth air, causing its flight path to pause for an extremely brief moment.

For Wang Defa, that brief pause of a fraction of a second was enough.

"drink!"

Wang Defa pulled the machete out of the ground.

The massive amount of rock-solid true energy was instantly drained away and all of it was concentrated on the blade.

The simplest move, the [Rock Solid Blade Aura], has no fancy techniques; it's just pure, overwhelming power.

The blade transformed into an earthen-yellow door panel, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, and slammed heavily into the blood gu that was suspended in mid-air.

"Boom!"

The Blood Jade Flesh Worm, which had just withstood Zhang Hao's sword-drawing slash, had its outer shell shattered directly in front of the full-force sword energy unleashed by a martial artist at the Opening Aperture Realm.

The insect's body was forcibly split in two, and it convulsed violently a few times in mid-air.

It then fell onto the muddy ground and quickly turned into a pool of purple pus that emitted white smoke and a pungent stench.

The alleyway fell into a deathly silence.

The only sound was the low hum of the FireRain close-in weapon system as it swept across the night sky in the distance.

Wang Meng maintained the posture of crossing his arms to protect his head for several seconds before slowly lowering his hands.

He stared at the still-smoking pool of purple pus at his feet, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

He knew very well that if that thing had gotten into his ear or nostril, his current situation would be a hundred times worse than that of the old man in the warehouse who had been drained of his money.

Even the city defense army's top-tier medical pods couldn't save him.

"Thanks, Captain Wang."

Wang Meng's voice was a little hoarse, and he swallowed hard, still feeling a bit shaken.
