Chapter 57: The Martial Cultivator Poisoned to Death | Sơn Hà Tế

Sơn Hà Tế - Updated on May 15, 2025

Once again, it proved Dugu Qingli’s judgment was correct. There was no need to touch these corpses. Their breath was the catalyst for their corpse transformation!

“Swish!” A purple light faintly divine sword hung in front of Shen Tang. It was her ultimate flying sword, which Lu Xingzhou had not seen her use since they met.

“Boom rumble!” Overwhelming, mountain-collapsing, sea-overturning sword light suddenly crashed down. The corpses, slowly and leisurely, hadn’t even had time to stand up before they were violently crushed by this single sword. They instantly became broken limbs and arms, extremely fierce.

The Imperial Extreme Shock World makes gods and ghosts avoid.

However, after Shen Tang’s sword took effect, her expression became even more solemn.

Those corpses began to wriggle and reassemble themselves.

“Clang!” Dugu Qingli’s ice sword was drawn from its sheath, her figure flashed over, and sword light appeared.

The white-haired girl stood holding her sword in the center of the group of corpses. The surrounding wriggling corpses gradually froze, then suddenly shattered, scattering ice crystals.

Lu Xingzhou felt that no matter how strong these two people were, at least in terms of aesthetics, they were both spot on. They were truly beautiful…

“Not as strong as imagined,” Dugu Qingli evaluated. “These should be attendants brought by the guests. They were caught completely off guard and killed by the array here after bypassing the corridor… Their strength before death was of the upper three grades, but they have been dead for so long, their power has been exhausted, and the remaining soul fire is extremely weak. It’s not hard to deal with.”

Upper three grades as attendants, and so many of them. If it were other people here, they would probably be trembling with fear, but the three people present did not express any surprise.

All three have profound inheritances, coincidentally exactly the top three in the current Da Qian. Although they are all young, they have only obtained a small part of the inheritance. Just speaking about it is enough to claim they are the ceiling of new talent knowledge.

They all know that true immortal families don’t even use the current nine-grade classification method. That is a classification made up by the current cultivators themselves. The so-called upper three grades now are probably just entry level in the eyes of immortals? They are not very certain about the specifics.

“Array…” Lu Xingzhou wheeled his chair around. “There is indeed a soul-absorbing array hidden here. They were instantly killed by having their souls drawn out directly. The array was destroyed very quickly by someone… Um, you two stay ten zhang away.”

The two retreated ten zhang and saw Lu Xingzhou take out a set of array flags. He inserted them here, supplemented them there, and then swiftly put them away in one go. “This array has already been modified by me. Now it is a soul-fixing array. If you encounter a difficult opponent later, remember to lead him here. The soul fire of dead people is swayed, and it will be very restrained by this array.”

Dugu Qingli glanced at his appearance, desperately showing off. She just had a feeling of “look, aren’t I useful now?”. The corner of her mouth subconsciously pulled up a smile.

She always felt that Lu Xingzhou was profound and unfathomable, but in the end, he was still a young man…

She didn’t know that the expression of her smile in Shen Tang’s eyes was more like seeing a ghost.

This was possibly the first time Shen Tang had seen her smile in all the time she had known her! But that smile instantly disappeared, and Shen Tang was momentarily a little doubtful whether she had seen it wrong just now.

Forget it, don’t focus on these matters.

Dugu Qingli still pushed Lu Xingzhou, and Shen Tang still led the way in front. Ahead were partitions and forks in the road, roughly including alchemy rooms, refining tool rooms, and so on.

Shen Tang pushed open the doors to look inside. There were no finished products in the refining tool room, but there were some good materials, which she directly collected. The alchemy room contained only invalid medicines, no finished pills, and no furnace.

This was very normal, as the furnace and pills were outside… This was probably just used as a medicine storage, but unfortunately, it had been too long and was already useless.

Looking at the overall layout, this cave mansion was not large, and relatively simple, just a temporary residence. Not far ahead was the core of the cave mansion, and a standing corpse body came into view.

The muscles of the corpse body were intact, tall and mighty, with clearly defined muscle knots. One could see how strong he was in body forging before his death. Even when dead, he stood with wide, angry eyes, showing that he should have been a brave martial cultivator before death.

Carefully circling to the front to look, they found that the death appearance was extremely miserable. The back looked intact, but the front view showed the abdomen pierced and the intestines rotten, completely corroded, exposing an empty large hole. The five organs and six viscera inside were all gone.

Lu Xingzhou’s heart moved. “There was a problem with the tea in the front hall… He discovered he was poisoned, then angrily chased and killed the original owner, but eventually succumbed to the poison and died.”

“Then… the original owner?” Shen Tang looked around but didn’t see anyone, but she saw the phosphorus fire in the corpse body’s eyes suddenly brighten.

Having prepared early, Dugu Qingli immediately stabbed her sword into the eyebrow of the corpse puppet. A chilling frost instantly spread from the eyebrow, freezing the soul fire.

“Frost Heaven Freezing Moon?” The corpse puppet actually spoke. “How is it so weak…”

Dugu Qingli: “…”

A steel-like arm like lightning struck towards Dugu Qingli’s lower abdomen. Beside her, Shen Tang chopped with her sword. With a “clang” sound, the arm didn’t even get a cut, but Shen Tang’s overbearing power still caused the corpse puppet’s attack momentum to be slightly offset.

But only slightly offset.

Dugu Qingli dodged, and her ice sword had already reached the back of the corpse puppet’s head.

The corpse puppet still didn’t dodge and took her sword strike. One hand swiped away Shen Tang’s sword. “Imperial Extreme Shock World… Heaven Walking Sword Method? Heh.”

This familiar tone, besides proving that everyone’s inheritance was very ancient, didn’t prove anything else, not even whether they were once enemies or friends. In fact, whether they were enemies or friends, whether this person was good or evil, all of this was meaningless in the state of a corpse puppet. He would only retain his dying hatred and equally bring death to all living beings.

The two women did not respond. They circled around the corpse puppet like lamps, launching a fierce attack, “ding ding dang dang”, but he was unharmed.

This seemed like a losing battle. They couldn’t break the opponent’s defense, while the opponent’s fist strength would injure them upon contact.

Even after being dead for so long and with countless decreases in strength, this corpse puppet is now still a solid upper three grades! Fortunately, this was not a deliberately arranged and well-refined corpse, otherwise, if it retained its strength before death, everyone would fundamentally be unable to deal with it.

Lu Xingzhou observed for a moment, then patted his wheelchair backward and retreated. “Come.”

The two immediately recalled the array they had modified earlier and quickly escaped.

The corpse puppet could even speak and had spirit light. That spirit light was actually chaotic, the soul fire swayed, and the reaction was slow. Seeing the two opponents who had been fiercely fighting him suddenly run away, he was actually stunned for several breaths, then chased after them with big strides. “Cowards… indeed under Maha, all cowards…”

Maha? Who is that…

He recognized the Frost Heaven Freezing Moon sword and the Imperial Extreme Shock World scripture. Could it be that these two are both Maha’s inheritance? But everyone’s classic records don’t have this person…

Or another explanation is that Maha is the original owner of this place, and this person’s brain is not smart enough to think that he is currently fighting Maha, so he feels that everyone is under Maha. As for why someone under Maha would have these skills, his brain circuit is not enough to think about it.

The second explanation is more likely.

Thoughts flashed through their minds, and the three of them had already retreated back to the front of the array.

“Boom!” The corpse puppet stomped its foot and shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Lu Xingzhou, who seemed to be the most unable to move.

Lu Xingzhou patted his wheelchair, and the wheelchair flexibly shot out several zhang. The corpse puppet seemed not to have seen such “high-tech” things. It slightly misjudged and was already completely in the array.

The next moment, he hugged his head, let out a painful roar, and the soul fire in his eyes suddenly brightened and dimmed.

Soul-fixing array!

Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli were just waiting for this moment. Two incomparably sharp sword lights rushed left and right towards his temples.

Lu Xingzhou had a talisman in his hand, which quickly burned up. In mid-air, a shocking thunderbolt heavily struck the corpse puppet’s forehead.

Five Thunder Righteous Method, the absolute nemesis of the yin corpse type!

“Roar!” The corpse puppet’s body burst out with fierce and powerful astral qi, shocking both Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli away.

Shen Tang’s cultivation was higher and she was slightly better off, but Dugu Qingli was clearly shocked with internal injuries, spitting out a mouthful of stagnant blood in mid-air.

Lu Xingzhou was exactly in her direction of flying backward and immediately adjusted his wheelchair to catch her.

With a “bang” sound, Dugu Qingli crashed into him. Lu Xingzhou’s hands actually couldn’t hold her, and she completely crashed into his arms, colliding so hard that his five organs and six viscera almost shifted.

The wheelchair was even more violently pushed backward, directly crashing into the wall corner.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a rotating secret door. This collision directly turned it open, and the secret door closed again directly after turning.

“Damn!” Lu Xingzhou couldn’t hold back the momentum. In the instant the secret door closed, he quickly threw out a talisman.

On the other side, Shen Tang stopped her backward fall and urgently flew back to try and open the door, but this time, no matter how she pushed, she couldn’t open it.

Shen Tang looked at the closed wall, dumbfounded.

You just used such a hugging posture and hid in a secret room?

Should I play a xiao outside to assist and excite you?

The corpse puppet was still there, and the situation did not allow Shen Tang to slowly find the switch. She quickly picked up the talisman Lu Xingzhou had specially thrown out earlier, held her sword, turned around, and stared intently at the corpse puppet in the array.

The corpse puppet stood there woodenly, the soul fire flickering in its eyes. “I… am dead?”

A soul-fixing array would naturally have such an effect, allowing his soul sea to be peaceful and naturally discern the current situation. Just now, their swords and Lu Xingzhou’s thunder also played a related role.

Shen Tang didn’t dare to be careless and cautiously said, “Yes. We are descendants who came to explore, not your enemy. Just now, Senior’s soul fire was chaotic, so we could only offend.”

The corpse puppet was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Where is Maha?”

Sure enough, Maha is the original owner… Shen Tang said, “We didn’t see him.”

“Yes, he was heavily injured and fled far away… but he will definitely come back…” The corpse puppet slowly said, “He borrowed the momentum of the mountains and rivers to sacrifice and refine the Dragon Tiger Pill, attempting to ascend to immortality in one step… This pill did not become complete at that time. When the day the pill becomes complete comes, he will definitely come back to take it.”

Shen Tang did not speak.

It turns out that the original owner was heavily injured and fled at that time, and for some unknown reason, he never returned, even missing the day the pill became complete… There is a certain probability that he truly died outside or was captured or trapped. But as long as he is not dead, it is still possible for him to come back at any time.

The corpse puppet said again, “Maha was in a hurry to escape at that time, and did not take many things away. Since you are here to explore, come over, and I will tell you where Maha’s things are…”

Shen Tang slowly walked over and stepped into the array, suddenly shocked. “Not good!”

“Greedy fool!” The corpse puppet laughed wildly. “How does your own soul-fixing array taste?”

Along with the voice, the soul fire suddenly flourished, and an incomparably cold breath rushed straight towards Shen Tang’s spiritual platform. “This body is broken, and I cannot wait for Maha to return… Although you are a female body, the Imperial Extreme Shock World scripture is cultivated very well, enough qualification for me to temporarily store myself…”

Seizing a new body!

Shen Tang’s eyes showed a sarcastic smile. A talisman suddenly appeared in her hand and was “pa” stuck on her forehead.

Corpse puppet: “?”

A simple exorcism talisman!

Shen Tang sneered and said, “If you really wanted to tell me where Maha’s things are, why would you need me to walk close? Do you really think I’m stupid?”

The corpse puppet’s divine soul seemed to hit a wall, and the originally broken soul fire almost scattered and flew away. The corpse puppet let out a miserable cry, its soul returned to its body, and it actually broke free from the restraint of the soul-fixing array, retreating towards the core of the cave mansion.

Shen Tang glanced back at the secret door. “There is treasure here. I cannot let him out of my sight, in case he recovers or obtains some powerful magic treasure, we will all die here… I will go entangle him. You come out quickly… but don’t make a baby!”
