Chapter 200 - 147: Demon God
The gray mist within Soul Suppressing’s gray robe coalesced into a quizzical expression.
It seemed to be genuinely considering the possibility of Lu Changfeng showing weakness and admitting fault.
Lu Changfeng let out a soft chuckle.
"If you truly wish to bow your head and admit your fault, then how about you kill yourself right here in front of me?" Lu Changfeng said slowly.
The expression on Soul Suppressing’s misty head gradually twisted into one of anger.
Lu Changfeng turned to Xu Fan. "Xu Fan. Not only did you not run far, far away, but you actually dared to scheme against me. Do you even have the ability to do that?"
Through his interface, Lu Changfeng could see that something new had appeared inside the bodies of the three members of the Saint Demon Sect’s younger generation on the ground—Qing Mang, Jueming, and Yui Shex. It was the Ancient Purple Lotus Demon Bloodline.
Including Ni Wei, it was obvious that Soul Suppressing wanted to control these members of the younger generation. Perhaps the Souls of all four had already been replaced.
However, the two of them had failed to anticipate that he possessed an interface, allowing him to see right through their scheme.
At this thought, a flicker of anger rose in Lu Changfeng.
’These cockroaches... I should have exterminated them all long ago.’
Lu Changfeng slowly opened his Ba Snake Space and retrieved a Profound Iron Long Saber.
"Wait, Saint Master!" Xu Fan’s expression changed. He had come to know just how terrifying a single one of Lu Changfeng’s saber strikes could be.
"I traveled to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and discovered an incredible secret. Don’t you want to know what it is?" Xu Fan said quickly.
’The Hundred Thousand Mountains? That forbidden land north of the Capital Region?’
Lu Changfeng slowly shook his head. "I’m not particularly interested."
"The end of the world!"
"Beneath the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there is a terrifying figure from the Ancient Times! He is about to awaken and kill every powerful expert in the world!"
Xu Fan shouted.
Only then did Lu Changfeng slightly pause.
’Could it be that there’s a Human King beneath the Hundred Thousand Mountains, too?’
’He’s about to awaken and kill every powerful expert in the world? What Realm is considered a powerful expert?’
Lu Changfeng spoke. "So, you’ve pledged allegiance to this person, hoping to gain his protection?"
Xu Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. "I was forced."
Beside them, Soul Suppressing’s gray mist trembled, clearly unaware of what Xu Fan had been through.
With that, Lu Changfeng made his decision. "Hua Chengyu, take him away," he said, pointing at Xu Fan.
Then, Lu Changfeng activated his Ancient Candle Dragon Bloodline, condensed his Fengtian Saber Intent, and channeled 50 points of Annihilation Energy into his left arm!
In the next instant, a Blade of Annihilation dozens of meters long slashed toward the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect.
At the last possible second, vines wrapped around Xu Fan and dragged him underground to safety.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Fan chose to stop resisting.
Meanwhile, the being from the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect let out a furious roar. Its gray robe exploded, and its misty form scattered into countless gray shadows, all attempting to flee.
But how could a mere Primordial Spirit Body possibly resist the Blade of Annihilation?
It was nothing more than a final, desperate struggle.
Under the Blade of Annihilation, the body of the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect—the gray mist—was utterly annihilated into nothingness.
Annihilated along with it were a host of the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect’s Core Disciples.
Lu Changfeng’s gaze swept over the scene; among them were at least four at the Bone Refining Fifth Layer.
The Soul Suppressing Demon Sect’s plot against Lu Changfeng had backfired spectacularly. Instead of trapping him, they had been sought out and wiped out in one fell swoop.
Lu Changfeng looked back at the three beside him. The Ancient Purple Lotus Demon Bloodline within them was already rapidly dissipating.
Clearly, the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect had truly been killed this time, utterly overwhelmed by the sheer power of Lu Changfeng’s Blade of Annihilation.
And this time, Lu Changfeng’s left arm was undamaged.
This was because, just before swinging the saber, Lu Changfeng had his interface fuse four High-Grade External Skill Talents.
Although he hadn’t had time to see what new Supreme Talent was created, the result spoke for itself. After a strike that should have shattered his arm, it was merely numb. This alone showed how astronomically his Defense Power had increased.
The Wuu Xing Temple was utterly destroyed by that single strike. A stretch of scorched earth, dozens of meters wide and over a hundred meters long, now emanated a terrifying, lingering aura of Annihilation.
"Saint Master, what should we do with this one?"
Hua Chengyu appeared at his side, holding the vine-wrapped Xu Fan.
A fawning, obsequious smile was plastered across Xu Fan’s face.
"No rush. I’ll question you at my leisure later." Lu Changfeng flashed outside the temple and found that Ni Wei was in a vegetative state.
Clearly, Soul Suppressing had already taken over Ni Wei’s body by the time they had met earlier.
He shook his head. ’She died because of me, in a way. If she hadn’t been my disciple, Soul Suppressing, who was feigning death from the shadows, would never have targeted her.’
’Her Soul was shattered and scattered, leaving behind nothing but an empty shell.’
Lu Changfeng placed Ni Wei’s body into the Ba Snake Space, entrusting it to the Purple Lotus Demon for preservation alongside Yang Jingtian’s body.
Lu Changfeng then took out a sheet of message paper and instructed Lin Erfeng to see to it that Ni Wei’s family was well taken care of.
Far away in Yong City, Lin Erfeng saw the message and understood what had happened to Ni Wei. A wave of guilt washed over him...
Lu Changfeng strode back into the ruins of the temple.
The three lying on the ground were slowly beginning to stir.
As outstanding members of the Saint Demon Sect’s younger generation, they represented the future of the Sect.
’That was a close call. If I had arrived a moment later, Soul Suppressing would have taken their bodies as well.’
"Greetings, Saint Master!"
Upon seeing Lu Changfeng, all three fell to their knees with emotional expressions, paying their respects.
They never expected that the Saint Master himself would come to rescue them today.
"I assume you all understand what just happened," Lu Changfeng said slowly.
"From now on, remember to be more careful. If this is how you act, how can I possibly entrust the future of the Saint Demon Sect to you?"
Lu Changfeng’s words stirred deep emotions in the three of them.
