One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 161: 147: Fusion of Demon Corpses, Controlling Gravity

"I understand," Su Heng nodded after listening to Li Hongxiu.

"How are you faring? I hope there's nothing seriously wrong," he asked.

"No," Li Hongxiu shook her head, "But Xu Chong and Zhou Shun are having some trouble, and I don't know how to solve it."

It had to be said, Li Hongxiu was indeed good to her companions.

She didn't forget the two followers who accompanied her on the mission.

"The Demonic Elephant Sect, this is indeed not a problem you can solve," Su Heng nodded slightly, "Leave this matter to me."

"You've heard of this sect?" Li Hongxiu widened her eyes, somewhat surprised.

"A demonic sect from Northern Jiangzhou, a gathering of madmen who stop at nothing for power, quite dangerous," Su Heng explained, "They have been hunted by the imperial court for years, went silent for a while, and I didn't expect them to appear on my turf."

"Since they've come, they shouldn't think about leaving," Su Heng snorted coldly.

Su Heng gestured with his hand.

In a corner of the room, a discreet secret compartment opened.

What flew out was a blood-red bone the size of an adult's arm, held in Su Heng's hand.

As soon as the bone appeared, the originally bright sunlight instantly became dim and cold. An incredibly intense bloodthirsty aura emanated from the bone, as if suddenly placing everyone in the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even Li Hongxiu's complexion changed, and she couldn't help but step back.

"This is..." Li Hongxiu's face was filled with surprise.

"Tuo Dragon Overlord's demonic corpse," Su Heng nodded slightly, confirming Li Hongxiu's guess.

"A corpse of death-level!" Li Hongxiu swallowed hard.

She had seen the Tuo Dragon Overlord summon tides that submerged cities, a horrifying spectacle of true natural disaster, unstoppable. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the adversary had turned into a demonic corpse, taken as spoils of war.

Looking at Su Heng's calm expression, Li Hongxiu felt a wave of emotion.

She had once been an enemy of Su Heng, which is why she understood all too well the despairing kind of strength that made one feel hopeless.

The Tuo Dragon Overlord, before dying, didn't know if it had had the same thoughts as her. Fortunately, her luck had always been quite good.

After a series of bizarre twists of fate.

Not only had she survived, but she had also become a servant under Su Heng.

Looking back at the experiences of these past two months, even Li Hongxiu herself found them unbelievable.

Crack!

Su Heng slightly loosened the front of his robe.

His bronze skin exposed under the sunlight, shimmering with a metallic luster.

As he pressed the Tuo Dragon Overlord's demonic corpse against his chest, that intense bloodthirsty aura finally began to fade away.

"Roar!" A roar exploded in his ears.

It was as if a huge crocodile, baring its teeth and claws, was lunging at him from the void.

Su Heng snorted coldly, and the blood-colored illusion in front of him exploded directly.

This was his first encounter with the invasion of a demonic spirit's will during the fusion process. It appeared that the previous incident-free fusions were not due to his attribute panel's help. It was purely because Su Heng's physical body, his spiritual power, was too formidable.

The resentful and murderous qi lingering within the demonic corpse was like a drop of ink falling into a vast lake or river.

It couldn't stir any storm and was thoroughly obliterated.

After the demonic corpse was fused completely, he opened the attribute panel.

Tai Sui Fungus Strain, White Snake Demon Scale, Wolf King White Mane, Tuo Dragon Blood Marrow—due to the realm enhancement, Su Heng could now equip four different types of demonic corpses simultaneously.

The talents of the Tuo Dragon Blood Marrow included two abilities; the first was a powerful attractor called "Sun Eater," and the other was a simple yet effective defense enhancement.

"I'll go see what these guys are made of," Su Heng stretched his limbs, touching Li Hongxiu's soft hair casually.

Li Hongxiu quietly stepped aside, pulling open the door for him.

With a "whoosh," Su Heng's figure flashed, creating a gust of wind as he disappeared from the room abruptly.

...

...

...

An Anping District, the compound where the Demonic Elephant Sect was stationed.

Three young disciples chatted idly.

The buzz-cut youth, who had encountered Li Hongxiu a few days prior, was lazily leaning against the cool wall, a stalk of foxtail grass dangling from his mouth.

"So boring, our senior brothers and sisters go out and have fun, leaving us here to suffer with these menial gatekeeping duties," the buzz-cut youth spat out the grass root from his mouth, crushing it with his foot, and complained with a displeased face:

"Sitting here all day is like damned prison."

As if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes sparked with excitement, and he spoke to the bald, burly man beside him, "Junior brother, do you remember the girl in red we met in the yard two days ago? She might be a bit young, but she sure is pretty. I like those kind of cold, aloof girls!"

Upon saying this, he showed a regretful expression, "What a pity she was let go by the senior sister, it would have been fun to keep her around these past few days."

"You only ever think about such sleazy stuff," the bald man opened his eyes, his face full of disdain.

"Appetite and lust, it is," the buzz-cut youth was unconcerned, instead spreading his hands and laughing out loud. He whistled towards the last mate, a tall, pony-tailed young man, "Senior brother, right or not!?"

"Shut up!" the pony-tailed young man didn't turn around, continuing to focus on his cultivation.

"You're no fun," the buzz-cut youth said listlessly, "Don't be so serious, bro. What danger could possibly pop up in this lousy place, like a death-level demon bursting out and gobbling the three of us up!?"
