Chapter 28: The Spirit Master's Divine Absorption
Chapter 28: The Spirit Master's Divine Absorption
A powerful killing intent, almost tangible, was carried by the snowstorm, hurtling towards him.
Who... who is this?
Lily Greenleaf's face turned pale, and she froze, charcoal in hand, ready to stoke the fire.
The entire courtyard was instantly enveloped in a chilling aura, and the snowflakes exploded mid-air.
Lucas Chase stood atop a rock garden, his eyes behind the Majestic Ox mask cold and indifferent.
"Who?!"
In the courtyard, the guard sent by the Sutherland family to protect Lily Greenleaf had been dozing in a pavilion.
The moment Lucas Chase's killing intent was sensed, his eyes snapped open, shock evident in his expression. He hadn't expected anyone to dare commit violence within the Golden Splendor Pavilion!
His fingers clenched, and he drew the long sword from his waist, leaping out into the snowstorm. He saw the towering, bear-like figure standing on the rock garden.
The Majestic Ox mask, combined with the overwhelming killing intent, made the scene eerie.
"Bold intruder! To dare commit violence within the Golden Splendor Pavilion! This person is a guest of the Sutherland family. Step back, and we will not pursue the matter!"
The guard stood tall, his long sword in hand, his blood and qi intertwining, his muscles trembling and snapping with power. He was a fully developed Muscle Opening Guard.
Lucas Chase glanced at the guard with a faint look... Muscle Opening?
He lightly tapped his foot and floated down, landing on the snow-covered ground, his massive, mountain-like form not leaving a single footprint.
With a heavy step, Lucas Chase's face under the hood suddenly lifted, his cold eyes staring at the sword-wielding guard.
The guard's heart raced, his mouth opening to speak, but the fierce gust of wind slapped his face, silencing him. An overwhelming pressure descended upon him.
Lucas Chase moved too fast. The moment his foot touched the ground, the burst of energy sent the surrounding snow flying!
The pressure of his blood and qi descended like a fierce dragon.
The guard's sword had just swung out when he saw a fist, like a bolt of lightning, streaking straight at him.
The broad-shouldered, mountain-like bull demon, with a single punch, unleashed an internal force that roared like a white tiger in the snow, or a venomous snake striking!
Clang!
A sharp sound, and the long sword was instantly knocked away!
The powerful force struck the guard's chest, making him feel as if his heart caved in, his organs rupturing, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Bone Tempering..."
The guard's eyes widened in shock.
As a Sutherland family guard, his skills weren't weak. Even against a true Bone Tempering opponent, he could hold his ground for a moment...
But he was instantly killed by the bull demon before him...
Bone Tempering, fully developed!
With a burst of energy, his arm and palm snapped, and the guard's bones shattered, his body flying backward.
But Lucas Chase took a step forward, moving even faster, and with a hook and tug of his fingers...
The guard's eyes widened as the misty snow was split in two by a sharp force.
Silent tearing, the air exploded!
Hot blood splattered the snow as the guard found himself cut in half, falling to the ground, staring blankly at his severed body.
His eyes gradually dimmed, losing their light.
Perhaps you were just fulfilling your duty as a guard, but since you stood in his way, protecting her... you must die.
Lucas Chase's form blurred as he moved without leaving a trace, leaping under the eaves.
Everything happened too fast, from Lucas Chase's attack to the guard's defeat and dismemberment...
It took only a few breaths.
Lucas Chase moved as if he were strolling leisurely, walking from a distance to the eaves.
Lily Greenleaf had just turned to run into the house.
Thud, thud, thud!
Two wooden crossbow bolts whistled through the air, instantly piercing her knees, making it impossible for her to run, and she fell to the ground, blood pooling around her.
"You... you... you..."
Lily Greenleaf's face was pale, her fear overwhelming.
Although she had joined the Spirit Infancy Sect, she was just an ordinary old woman, with no cultivation...
The overwhelming pressure, carried by the fierce wind, slammed into her.
Lily Greenleaf, drenched in sweat and unable to breathe, pleaded for mercy.
"Spare my life... please, spare my life..."
"I'm just an old woman, a frail old bone..."
Lily Greenleaf lay on the ground, despairing and pitiful.
Just moments ago, she had been dreaming of a life of luxury, but now she was facing a tragic end, her fate out of her control.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations:
Life's ups and downs are no more than this.
Lucas Gee looked at her with indifference, feeling no sympathy. When she killed those children, did she ever feel a shred of mercy?
When she targeted Sasha, did she ever feel a shred of mercy?
Suddenly.
Lily Chun's eyes turned fierce, and she pulled out a palm-sized, blood-stained Spirit Totem wooden carving from her chest, throwing it at Lucas Gee.
"Guardian, protect me!"
The wooden carving was thrown at Lucas Gee, moving at a moderate speed.
Lucas Gee could easily dodge it with a sidestep.
However, the wooden carving, floating in the air, suddenly came to life, its eyes opening wide and glaring at Lucas Gee with fury!
An overwhelming wave of anger surged in Lucas Gee's heart, like an uncontrollable flame that threatened to engulf his mind and burn away his consciousness!
"Divine Energy?!"
Lucas Gee was startled.
This wooden carving contained divine energy and had offensive power!
So, Lily Chun... she is so highly regarded in the Infant Spirit Sect?
An ordinary woman, yet she possesses such formidable means!
Buzz—
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit in his chest suddenly trembled.
It seemed as if a divine dragon roared and a demonic elephant bellowed!
The nameless anger in his mind was instantly dispelled, and everything returned to calm.
Lucas Gee's eyes cleared and brightened. Facing the wooden carving, he raised his hand, and his exposed arm turned a jade-like white, with a jade-colored mist emanating from his pores.
The Nascent Form of a divine technique...
Divine Craft: Thousand Analysis Hand!
Lucas Gee grabbed the wooden carving.
Absorb Divine Energy!
Lucas Gee felt a surge of heat in his palm as the divine energy within the Spirit Totem wooden carving was completely drained by his arm!
Bang!
The wooden carving exploded, shattering into countless fragments of wood dust!
Lily Chun stood frozen in place...
That was the life-saving talisman given to her by the Guardian. She had obtained it by collecting the lifeblood of many infants for the Guardian.
The Guardian had said that even a Bone Tempering Warrior could be dealt with by this wooden carving.
But now, the Guardian's gift had been crushed with brute force!
Lily Chun felt despair.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but Lucas Gee, fearing she might have more tricks up her sleeve, shot her three times with his sleeve crossbow, piercing her through and through.
There was no time to savor the taste of divine energy. Lucas Gee knew he had to escape quickly.
The inner city was different from the outer city, with many powerful figures, including those who had broken through the Blood Change stage and even reached the Meridian Opening stage.
Of course, the most terrifying were the cultivators from the noble families who had mastered divine energy...
Lucas Gee took out a crumpled, long-withdrawn wanted poster, which was about Lily Chun.
He glanced at Lily Chun's lifeless body.
Lucas Gee felt a long-suppressed anger finally release.
The constant worry that had plagued him eased somewhat.
Although he knew this matter was far from over, killing Lily Chun did not mean Sasha was completely safe.
The Infant Spirit Sect and the Infant Spirit Guardian...
Still hung over him like a sharp blade, causing him to lose sleep and appetite.
But killing Lily Chun at least allowed Lucas Gee to breathe a sigh of relief.
He threw the wanted poster and shot a wooden arrow from his sleeve crossbow, pinning the poster next to Lily Chun's body. The blood-stained paper seemed to bear the weight of her sins.
...
...
The white curtains fluttered in the gentle breeze.
Bai Simo, who had just cultivated divine energy, was in high spirits, sipping tea and chatting about divine energy with Beihu Xu, feeling quite content.
Beihu Xu chatted for a while and then stood up, intending to take his leave.
Suddenly.
A figure darted in and appeared beside Bai Simo.
It was one of Bai Simo's guardians, a powerful Blood Change Warrior.
At this moment, the warrior's expression was strange, his brows furrowed with a mix of oddity and worry.
Bai Simo glanced at him. "What is so urgent? This is not proper conduct."
The powerful Blood Change Warrior looked at Bai Simo and spoke in a grave voice.
"Master... Lily Chun, she is dead."
Bai Simo, who had just raised his teacup to his lips, froze.
