Chapter 681: Quick Kill
Chapter 681: Quick Kill
The multi-armed corpse slave held back the fiercely incoming flesh and blood net, giving Lu Xuan a breather.
With a mere thought, the low-grade Magic Artifact, Peacock King Sword, nurtured in his Dantian, immediately responded.
Amid a long cry, a dazzling golden peacock burst forth like lightning. Its feathers were like sharp long swords, bursting with Sword Intent, and it seemed to carry the shadow of a Four-Armed Bodhisattva on its back.
The shadow sensed the sinister aura within the flesh and blood net, waved its four arms, and the light from the peacock brightened several times as it swiftly traversed through the net.
Wherever it passed, the flesh that made up the net melted away rapidly like snow under a scorching sun, leaving only fragments in an instant.
Lu Xuan stood on the back of the multi-armed corpse slave, letting its arms guard him all around as he leaped out of the valley.
“Good, good, good! I did not expect that you, an Early Core Formation stage Spirit Plant Master, would possess such a rare fifth-grade evil object, and a Flying Sword Magical Treasure of such mighty power. It seems you have hidden your skills well usually.”
The flesh mountain Cultivator sneered, his face fat trembling incessantly as chunks fell off and were caught by a long grey-black tongue below and swallowed in one gulp.
He looked at the Peacock King Sword and the multi-armed corpse slave in front of Lu Xuan, his eyes flashing with eagerness.
These two treasures were obviously not ordinary. He had initially thought that eating Lu Xuan’s flesh imbued with Tai Sui meat was good enough, but now there was this unexpected windfall.In his heart, obtaining the two treasures was almost a certainty.
The two treasures of Lu Xuan might be formidable, but they were still weaker compared to what he possessed, and they certainly couldn’t bridge the gap between their Cultivation Levels.
One a Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage, one a butcher of countless, and the other an Early Core Formation stage Spirit Plant Master. The difference in power was like heaven and earth.
“How did you know I would pass this way?”
Lu Xuan’s expression darkened. Ever since he realized this Flesh Mountain Cultivator harbored malice against him, he had tried every means to avoid him and had carefully concealed his tracks when leaving the Green Wood Star Cave, persistently using Wood Escape Technique. Still, he had been intercepted by this Evil Cultivator!
“If you surrender without a fight, and if your flesh is delicious, I’ll tell you the reason.”
The Flesh Mountain Cultivator looked at Lu Xuan’s body, his posture dripping with desire.
“No need, I’ll just interrogate the fellow Daoist myself.”
Before Lu Xuan’s words had finished, the Magic Treasure in front of him, Peacock King Sword, transformed into a streak of golden light, carrying fierce and dominant Buddhist Power like a meteor striking towards the Flesh Mountain Cultivator.
Since he couldn’t avoid it, he would face it head on. With many treasures at his disposal, he was no longer concerned about the threat from the Flesh Mountain Cultivator.
The golden light carried a fierce murderous intent, reaching the Flesh Mountain Cultivator in a blink of an eye.
The Flesh Mountain Cultivator clapped his hands together, and a huge shield with countless pieces of black meat squirming appeared in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the shield blocked the Peacock King Sword.
The black meat on the shield expanded rapidly, billowing black smoke, seemingly about to contaminate Lu Xuan’s Flying Sword Magical Treasure.
Under Lu Xuan’s control of his Spiritual Sense, the golden light of the Peacock King Sword dissipated, splitting into several shadows, and nimbly drilling out from the black meat.
This exquisite transformation was precisely the “Split Light and Shadow Sword Technique” that Lu Xuan had mastered.
“Such exquisite swordsmanship!”
The Flesh Mountain Cultivator showed a surprised expression, his demeanor slightly more solemn.
A large bulge appeared in his thick neck, and his flesh bloomed like flowers, revealing a ghastly white skull.
The white bone was a low-grade magical treasure he had cultivated for many years. As soon as it appeared, it grew rapidly in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a small hill, accompanied by a sky full of Yin Qi. Within the Yin Qi, various ghost creatures wailed relentlessly, instantaneously arriving above Lu Xuan’s head.
The White Bone Hammer surged forward with menacing force. Lu Xuan couldn’t dodge in time and with a thought, the multi-armed corpse slave grew its eighteen arms swiftly to block the hammer.
The hammer’s descent slowed slightly. Lu Xuan’s arms turned into a translucent jade color and his body enlarged as his blood surged, unleashing a punch.
He had cultivated a high-grade Body Refinement Cultivation Technique and had consumed various Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Medicines that enhanced his flesh body, among them the rare Sixth Grade Tai Sui Meat, rendering him extremely formidable. His strength swept through like a fierce wind blowing the White Bone Hammer away.
As the green light from the Qing Helved Shoes flooded beneath his feet and he was about to dodge the White Bone Hammer, his sensitive Spiritual Sense detected several large snakes as thick as adult thighs assaulting him from all directions amid the rolling Yin Qi.
Lu Xuan remained calm in the face of sudden change; his Mirage Sound Pearl in his throat vibrated as he lowly roared.
“ROAR!!!!”
It exploded like muted thunder; the sound waves billowed like massive tides, causing the Yin Qi and the black snakes within it to swiftly retreat.
Knowing he was in peril, he held nothing back and a Sixth Grade Treasure, the Ghost Sorrow Strange Diagram, flew out from his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The grey-white ancient scroll opened, and the sorrowful ghosts within flew out, instantly filling the area for miles around with a rich, substantive malice.
“A Sixth Grade Treasure?!”
Although the Roushan Cultivator didn’t know the origin of the ancient painting, he could still feel the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from it, revealing a look of fright on his face.
Realizing he had completely underestimated Lu Xuan, he decided instantly. A grey-black tongue shot out from his body, and his entire flesh mountain disintegrated into countless chunks of flesh and blood, forming a sea of corpses and a blood sea that stormed over Lu Xuan, covering the sky and ground.
“Ah…”
A mournful sigh to the extreme echos; a huge white shadow floated like a feather among the sky of flesh and blood.
As if influenced by the white shadow, nearly half of the flesh chunks stopped mid-air, completely out of control. The remaining ones showed much less aggression as the sharp, nauseating smell of blood lightened significantly.
As soon as the Cultivator turned into fragments of flesh and blood, Lu Xuan took a dark green Buddhist statue that was stepping on countless demonic creatures from his Storage bag.
Amid the sounds of Buddhist chants, the dark green Buddhist statue rapidly enlarged, and the Vajra Pestle in its hand shone brightly with Buddhist power.
Incarnation of a Buddhist figure, one hundred zhang tall appeared out of nowhere, its fierce and majestic eyes staring down at the countless chunks of flesh and blood below, its palm striking harshly.
It was the Sixth Grade treasure obtained from the Vajra Bodhi Light Cluster, the Incarnation of Vajra in Hell, capable of summoning the Incarnation of Vajra, which exorcizes demons and suppresses Demon Envoys.
Countless chunks of flesh were crushed under the suppression of the Incarnation like a torrential rain, piling up thickly on the ground.
“I will never share the sky with you!”
A thought transferred from the residual consciousness in the flesh, and the remaining hundreds of flesh chunks scattered in all directions.
In the high sky, a huge gray-white pupil was prepared for a long time, staring fixedly at the many chunks of flesh, and instantly, illusions abounded in the Roushan Cultivator’s eyes, making him involuntarily stop.
Just in those few moments, a Silver White Cone Stinger engraved with numerous profound and obscure runes streaked past, re-injuring the lingering soul of the Cultivator.
Then, the shadow of a dark green pouch flashed past, capturing the few hundred fleeing chunks of flesh and blood, along with those infected by the “Ghost Sorrow Strange Diagram”, and those suppressed by the Incarnation of Vajra in Hell, wrapping them all into the pouch.
Together with many treasures, they all disappeared, entering into Lu Xuan’s Dantian.
“It’s a good thing I have the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, this spatial type Magic Treasure; otherwise all this flesh and blood might actually not fit.”
Lu Xuan remarked as his Spiritual Sense swept the surroundings, ensuring there was nothing amiss. With the aid of the Orb of Earth Movement, he used the Earth Escape Technique from the Earth Element Secret Book and instantly vanished.
