Chapter 550: Clearing the House
Chapter 550: Clearing the House
"Lu Chen is truly naive, still concerned about the righteous path of cultivators. When opportunity presents itself, who cares about righteousness or evil?" Chen Luo scoffed.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, why waste time chatting with your sect member here? We're not far from the Black Devil Abyss. Let's get this over with quickly to avoid any more troubles," a deep voice sounded, and soon after, a tall and burly cultivator silently emerged from behind Lu Chen.
The cultivator had a fierce look on his face, but he moved with the lightness of a swallow, concealing his aura completely. It was only when he neared Lu Chen that his presence could be felt.
"Just kill him directly and search his storage bag," he said, looking at Lu Chen, who was only at the mid-Qi Refining stage, with disdain.
"I'm worried that I won't find the ancient tome in my junior martial brother's storage bag. Soul-searching can be tricky, and information may be lost, so I specifically asked him for it first," Chen Luo explained.
"However, looking at Lu Chen's attitude, he doesn't seem willing to hand over that ancient tome willingly. In that case, we have no choice but to forcefully search his soul," Chen Luo continued, his face marked with intricate and vibrant patterns that shifted constantly.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, you have a robust physical body and are skilled in tracking. If this junior of mine escapes, I hope you can capture him," Chen Luo said to the tall and burly cultivator, who, like him, had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. He was a Body Cultivator with an exceptionally powerful physique.
The two of them seemed to completely disregard Lu Chen, discussing their plans as if he wasn't there.
Lu Chen lowered his head slightly, looking at his toes and remaining silent. In his sleeves, sword talismans were ready for action.
He appeared resigned to his fate, waiting to be bullied.
"Senior martial brother Chen, you colluded with outsiders, intending to harm your sect member and take his treasures. You deserve to die for your crimes," Lu Chen suddenly lifted his head, his eyes resolute as he declared, "Today, I will take your place and clean up the sect on behalf of the Discipline Hall's master!"
"Hehe..." Chen Luo seemed amused by Lu Chen's words. He chuckled and gently patted a pitch-black spirit beast bag at his waist.
"Buzz!"
A swarm of hideous giant bees surged out. Each bee had sharp fangs and a dark stinger on its back, clearly indicating their venomous nature.
Every bee possessed strength close to that of a third-grade demon beast. The loud buzzing of the swarm filled the air as they charged toward Lu Chen.
The buzzing noise assaulted Lu Chen's ears, making him feel dizzy and mentally exhausted, sapping his energy.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?!" Lu Chen rebuked. He opened his mouth, and from the depths of his throat appeared a semi-transparent treasure pearl. Layer upon layer of transparent ripples emerged, transforming into the proud roar of a dragon.
"Roar!"
Having interacted with countless flood dragons, the Mirage Sound Pearl had recorded their roars. At this moment, it was as if a genuine high-grade flood dragon had let out a furious bellow. The rolling sound waves resembled a mighty tsunami, scattering the swarm of bees in all directions.
Even Chen Luo and his companion in the distance were affected, their internal spiritual power churning uncontrollably.
"My spirit insects!" Seeing the swarm of giant bees he had carefully raised being knocked down by Lu Chen's single attack, Chen Luo felt a sharp pain in his heart. He let out an odd hissing sound, attempting to call the bees back.
"Hmph!" Lu Chen coldly snorted, and suddenly, a slender fissure appeared in the air. A massive grayish-white eyeball popped out from the crack, fixing its gaze on Chen Luo, his companion, and the swarm of bees below.
Layers of illusions appeared before the two cultivators and the horde of demon insects.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lu Chen's Wind and Thunder Sword transformed into a black light, piercing through all the giant bees and demon insects. Arcs of electricity leaped from one insect to another, leaving behind charred corpses that fell to the ground.
And that eerie eye! It had pulled both of them, cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, into an endless illusion.
With this realization, Chen Luo and his formidable companion exchanged a glance, their regard for Lu Chen skyrocketing to the highest level.
The vibrant floral patterns on Chen Luo's face peeled away and dissipated into the air, but Lu Chen's keen spiritual sense detected the emergence of a strange aura—as if an invisible venomous snake lurked in the shadows, spying on him.
As for the tall and burly cultivator, his body swelled, and in an instant, he became a two-zhang-tall giant. His muscles were knotted and crimson, exuding a scorching aura.
Lava-like liquid dripped from his fists, suggesting that a single punch could pulverize a mountain peak.
"A transparent demon beast?" Lu Chen's eyes narrowed. In his hand appeared a flag riddled with countless impurities, from which noxious fumes and filth poured forth, tainting the surrounding area and transforming it into a polluted world.
Under the influence of the Impurity Banner, a transparent serpent revealed itself.
"Go, spear!" Just as the transparent serpent became visible, the White Bone Demon Puppet in Lu Chen's hand transformed into a long spear that rapidly extended, impaling the serpent.
At that moment, Lu Chen's spiritual sense detected a terrifying figure appearing before him. A crimson fist, like Mount Tai, crashed down toward his head.
"Perfect timing!" Lu Chen retreated, his muscles turning crystalline. He blocked the massive fist, and the force of the impact caused the surrounding mountains to crumble and trees to topple.
"A mystical soundwave treasure, an eye, and a banner—two high-grade demonic artifacts. And to think he can withstand a perfect-stage Body Cultivator with just his physical body!"
"What kind of monster is this?!" Chen Luo was utterly bewildered. In the blink of an eye, he made a crucial decision.
A massive four-winged demon bird appeared beneath his feet, and he leaped onto it. Paying no heed to the Zheng clan Body Cultivator still entangled with Lu Chen, he transformed into a streak of light and fled, putting dozens of zhang between them in an instant.
Lu Chen wasn't about to let him get away. With a thought, a silver-white cone appeared before him, locking onto the fleeing Chen Luo. The Piercing God Cone turned into a beam of silver light, several times faster than the demon bird, and plunged into Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.
Chen Luo felt as if a sharp spike had pierced his brain, violently stirring his sea of consciousness.
The pain was excruciating, as if his soul was being pierced. He fell straight from the demon bird.
Even before Chen Luo had recovered from the soul-piercing pain, Lu Chen was already in front of him, having moved with the speed granted by the Green Flying Boots.
A golden broadsword appeared in Lu Chen's hand, and its light flickered as if a peacock's shadow passed over Chen Luo's neck.
A head tumbled down.
On the blade of the Peacock King Sword, a four-armed Bodhisattva illusion appeared, solemnly performing a rite for the departed soul.
