Chapter 423: Nowhere To Run
Translators Notes: Just in case some of you might not understand the structure of the ship, let me put it this way. Longing sent Ye Qing down a path where he only needs to go down in a straight line of staircase->chamber->staircase until he reaches his destination. He never passed through a corridor or anything because theres no need.
The fog grew thicker as he continued forward. It didnt need to be said how terrifying it was to walk amidst piles and piles of bodies, all of them more than close enough to touch. The fact that they were partially covered by the fog only added to the horror.
I sure hope these corpses arent dangerous Ye Qing couldnt help but mutter under his breath.
Wait did that corpse just move?
Suddenly, Ye Qing took two steps backward and stared intently at a particular corpse. He thought he saw its arm moving when he was glancing in that direction, but when he actually stared at it, it was completely motionless.
Was my eyes playing tricks on me?
Ye Qing licked his lips nervously and slowly approached the corpse, wanting to observe it at close range and confirm if it was dead or alive.
!?
The corpses eyes abruptly fluttered open when he was standing in front of it.
It wasnt the only one. Every corpse had abruptly opened their eyes to stare straight at him.
Motherf!
Every hair on Ye Qings body stood on end as he tried to withdraw. However, he had just taken two steps when he felt his back bumping into something soft. He turned around and saw a pile of corpses that was supposed to be several meters away from him pressed up against his back.
It didnt need to be said just how horrifying it was to be stared at and squeezed by countless dead bodies from multiple directions. As if that wasnt bad enough, more corpses were dogpiling toward him from all sides.
Without hesitation, Ye Qing leaped into the air in an attempt to avoid being piled on by the corpses. However, a bunch of bodies suddenly rained down from above right as his feet left the floor. The closest pile of corpses also collapsed on top of him before he could react.
There was just no room for maneuver or even time to react. Before he knew it, he was buried under hundreds and hundreds of bodies.
That wasnt all. As if they were puppeteered by an invisible power, the bodies kept piling on top of Ye Qing while oozing bright red blood and disgusting corpse wax at the same time. This should be impossible considering that these corpses had been left to dry for heavens-know-how-many-years, but it was happening anyway. It would seem that they were trying to squeeze or suffocate Ye qing to death.
Boom!
The next moment, a terrific boom scattered the hill of corpses in every direction, revealing a blood-soaked Ye Qing who looked incredibly pissed off. As more corpses raced toward him to dogpile him again, Ye Qing charged forward and unleashed a violent, tyrannical burst of energy. It felt like the birth of a Chaos Demon Ape.
Chaos Demon Ape Body Tempering Sutra
Boom boom boom!
Every corpse pile that was foolish enough to block his way was crushed into bits. Flesh, blood and bones scattered everywhere. In just the span of a few breaths, Ye Qing was able to run through the corpses and cover ten meters of distance.
There was no turning back now that violence had been engaged. He was going to give everything he could to make it to the center of the chamber and locate the corpse behind it all.
Is that the coffin Longing and the others spoke of?!
After running through a couple more corpse piles, Ye Qing burst into a clearing and saw a wooden coffin directly in front of him. It was covered up, and an insane amount of fog was pouring out of it at all times.
There was no time to catch a breath though. Already, the giant skull made of countless human skulls were descending on top of him like a waterfall.
Ye Qing sucked in a deep breath and shot up a full meter in height. Small clumps of black fur grew out of his exposed skin, and a violent, tyrannical aura filled the sky.
Ye Qing had reached the journeyman level in the Chaos Demon Ape Body Tempering Sutra and the Chaos Demon Ape Body some time ago. Although he couldnt transform fully into the Chaos Demon Ape like Chen Ah Sheng had, a minor transformation was more than doable.
After transforming into the Chaos Demon Ape, Ye Qing let out a lung-bursting roar that scattered the thick fog surrounding him. Then, he punched up at the giant skull descending toward him.
Divide
There was a loud bang that sounded like a very, very loud gunshot, and Ye Qings fist punched right through the gigantic skull. Even the waterfall of human skulls streaming behind it were scattered and pushed back where they came from.
After defeating the giant skull, Ye Qing crossed his arms above his head like he was guarding the gate of heavens. The next moment, a gigantic arm smashed into his guard and elicited a dull grunt from him. Even in his current form, his knees bent a little as if the weight was too much.
This was just the beginning. The giant made of countless corpses punched him in his guard again.
Bang!
One of Ye Qings knees slammed into the floor like a thunderclap.
The corpse giant wasnt going to let up its assault, of course. It pressed down with both arms like it was going to crush him to death.
Ye Qings face warped into a savage snarl as he let out an animalistic roar. His muscles and bones popped ominously, and his aura grew even stronger. Slowly but surely, he pushed back the corpse giants arms and climbed back to his feet.
RAAAAAARGH!
Ye Qing roared again as he pushed up with all he got, throwing the corpse giants arms upward and leaving him wide open. While the corpse giant was still catching its balance, Ye Qing took one step forward and slammed his elbow into its body.
It was like a giant knocking over the heavens so hard that the reverberations could be felt throughout the nine provinces.The corpse giant was sent flying just like that.
Ye Qing thought that the crisis was temporarily over, but he had just let out a sigh of relief when many, many more Strangers rushed out of the fog.
His face turned ugly. This was getting ridiculous.
Wait, somethings wrong. Theres no way this chamber could hold this many Strangers, not to mention that some of them are so massive theres no way they couldve fit in the corridors. Are they illusions, or am I hallucinating? Ye Qing suddenly realized something. Then, he shook his head and muttered to himself, No, its possible. Supposedly, the corpse is located in the orlop deck. In reality, it really exists in its own created space. It wouldnt be surprising for such a space to contain this many Strangers.
Theres no point fighting them though. Itll take way too much time and effort. I should focus on the corpse and cut it at its roots!
Having made up his mind, Ye Qing circulated the Nine Impetus of Tai Chi and dashed forward using the Illusionists Grace. For a time, he was able to slip past the Strangers as easily as he was playing in his own backyard. On the rare occasion the enemies managed to land a hit on him, the attack would be misdirected to another Stranger instead. The combination of the two arts was absolutely exquisite.
Ye Qing reached the coffin very quickly, and it looked like he needed only one step to get close to it. However, he just couldnt close that final step no matter what he tried. He even used the Heavenly Demon Captures The Soul and the Hellfire Red Lotus Saber Art multiple times thinking that it was an illusion again to no avail.
Worse still, Strangers were still pouring out of the fog and attacking him from every direction. He had no choice but to fight off the Strangers while trying every way he could think of to get close to the coffin.
The number of Strangers kept growing, and Ye Qing inevitably received many wounds in the process. However, the distance between himself and the coffin only grew over time.
Eyes bloodshot, Ye Qing clenched his fingers and smashed the ground with his left first. The Netherflame immediately spread out like a tidal wave and burned countless Strangers into ash. The attack managed to clear out every Stranger within ten meters of him and bought himself some time.
