Chapter 543 – The Undercard

Chapter 543 – The Undercard
Before Lu Xuan’s words fell, the last ten deep yellow tentacles shot out of the soil like lightning and attacked the four.

After being reminded by Lu Xuan, the three of them didn’t panic like they did in the beginning, and each of them used their own means to fend off the crazily attacking Deep Yellow Tentacles.

Qiu Changguan’s waist storage bag flashed with spiritual light, a shield covered with dense green and black scale armor appeared in front of his body, spiritual energy surged into the shield, the shield area continued to increase, firmly blocking the deep yellow tentacles.

A silver-white talisman quietly appeared in Meng Yue’s hand, and a thick wall of ice rose up in front of her.

When Sun Yunming saw the tentacles coming in strong, a crystal jade pendant on his neck silently shattered, and an aura shield covered his surroundings.

As for Lu Xuan, although he had absolute confidence in his strong physical body, he didn’t want to expose it in front of the three of them, and with a flash of green light from the Green Fu Cure under his feet, he skillfully dodged the tentacle attack with an arc that defied common sense.

With a wave of one hand, countless subtle sword qi formed a terrifying hurricane, lightning and thunder, chopping the tentacles into fragments in the sky.

Seven hideous giant insects appeared in front of the four of them, their bloated and unwieldy bodies huddled together, the countless white and short limbs on their bodies danced non-stop, and a dark yellow earth blade stabbed at Lu Xuan and the others.

Qiu Changguan released a mantis demonic beast with a third-grade aura, the mantis had a pair of large knife-like limbs, a serrated tooth on it looked extremely sharp.

With a forceful jump, it swiftly disappeared, and the large knife limbs ruthlessly scratched across the surface of the giant insect’s body.

Cut down two cuts of white tender arm limbs, the giant insect bloated body only left two shallow wounds, red and yellow mixed blood oozing out, and immediately healed.

“Be careful, this demonic insect’s skin is incredibly thick.”

Qiu Changguan’s heart flinched and reminded the three, his mantis demonic beast limbs are extremely sharp, not below many third grade flying swords, a full force strike, surprisingly, only caused slight damage to the giant insect, the difficulty of the demonic insect is evident.

“About five fourth-grade and two third-grade, it’s a bit difficult to deal with.”

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept through, seeing through the aura of the seven demonic insects in a single glance.

Sun Yunming, who had the lowest cultivation among the four, was already outmatched under the crazy attacks of the giant insects, a hint of caution surfaced on his face, knowing that it was a moment of crisis, a blackened broken blade appeared in front of him, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the broken blade.

The broken blade turned into a black light, did not enter the body of a giant insect.

Under the severe pain, the giant insect twisted crazily, and when the broken blade flew out of the body and tried to stab the body again, a large amount of dark yellow pus was sprayed out of the mouth.

The pus splashed on the black broken blade, instantly appeared speckled traces, and in the zipping sound, a wisp of fishy yellow smoke floated out from the blade.

“My magic weapon!”

Seeing this, the thin old man was busy recalling the ebony broken blade, looking at the marks of different sizes left on it, his heart was incomparably pained.

This Ebony Broken Blade was a treasure that he had managed to obtain with great difficulty, it needed to be inspired by his essence blood and was extremely powerful, he had thought of using it as a base card to be able to kill the enemy with a single blow, but he did not expect it to be corroded and destroyed just like this.

“This demonic insect actually has this trick, able to corrode magic weapons.”

Thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

“Fellow Daoists, it’s better to switch spells or talismans to kill the demon.”

“Use whatever cards you have as soon as possible, and fight quickly.”

He transmitted his voice to the three Qiu Changguan.

The three of them nodded slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in Meng Yue’s eyes, and soon, a crimson talisman appeared in front of him, with a lifelike scaly dragon silhouette inside it.

A stirring dragon roar sounded, and a huge fire dragon, carrying a blazing flame, rushed towards the hideous giant insect.

A four-armed, six-pupil demon ape appeared in front of Qiu Changyuan, its body violently expanding several times, its greenish-black fist flaming ferociously as it blasted towards the giant insect.

Lu Xuan’s expression was serious, three talismans shaped like sword tips appeared in his hands, his spiritual energy was stimulated, and sword qi gushed out from within, like a wild wind and huge waves, sweeping towards the few remaining giant insects.

The three fourth-grade Tsunami Sword Talismans were used in unison, and an ocean of sword qi was formed where the demonic insects were located, even though they were huge, under that kind of powerful sword qi, they were like a wooden boat that could capsize at any time amidst the turbulent waves.

Only lasted for a few breaths of time, the giant insects were devoured by the infinite sword qi, and the blood and flesh fell from the sky, and the bloody odor could be smelled in a radius of dozens of feet.

On the other side, Meng Yue’s Fire Dragon Talisman, and Qiu Changyuan’s four-armed, six-pupilized Demon Ape each finished off a demonic insect.

“Senior Brother Lu!” “Thanks to you, Senior Brother Lu, this time!”

The three of them leaned towards Lu Xuan, Qiu Changguan’s address was very naturally changed from Dao Friend to Senior Brother, and Meng Yue’s two eyes were also filled with gratitude.

“I didn’t expect that Senior Brother Lu actually has such a powerful high grade sword talisman.”

“Three fourth-grade sword talismans, Senior Brother Lu is really generous!”

“If it wasn’t for these three sword talismans, I’m afraid that the four of us would have been injured quite a bit, and there’s even the possibility of us falling here.”

Sun Yunming, who had the lowest cultivation and the least amount of treasures, said with heartfelt emotion, a look of fear in his eyes as he thought of his possible outcome.

“Hey, before I came out, in order to enhance my life-preserving ability, I exchanged the spirit stones I had saved over the years from my fellow disciples in the Sword Hall for these fourth-grade talismans.”

“All of a sudden, I used all of my cards here.”

Lu Xuan looked at the remnants of the subtle sword qi, and deep regret flowed from his tone.

“However, smoothly finishing off these Demon Insects is a good use of everything.”

He said with a smile.

The three of them sniffed and expressed their gratitude once again.

“Senior Brother Lu, you’re the one who solved most of these demonic insects, so you’ll be the one to pick the trophies first.”

Meng Yue proposed, and the two Qiu Changguan didn’t have the slightest objection.

“Most of these demonic insects’ breaths are of the fourth grade, and they may have already condensed demonic nuclei in their bodies, preparing for the breakthrough to the fifth grade condensing demonic pills.”

“In addition, the Demon Bug Skin Sac is also a treasure, worth quite a few Spirit Stones.”

Qiu Changguan came from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and knew a lot about demonic insects, saying.

The four of them swept their spiritual sense through the surrounding area in detail, and indeed, they touched out three earth yellow stone beads from the demonic insect’s corpse, which were rich in spiritual energy and extraordinary at a glance.

The seven demonic insect skin sacs were also dealt with, only due to the Whistling Sea Sword Talisman, the skin sacs were not kept very intact.

“I want one Demon Core, three Demon Insect Skin Sacs, and all the Demon Insect flesh and blood collected, what do the three Fellow Daoists think?”

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

“Alright.”

“No comment.”

“Senior Lu should.”

The three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

There were still two demon cores and four skin sacs, which were already beyond their expectations, as for the demon bug blood and flesh and whatnot, in the eyes of the three of them, they were all just some edges, and their value was far less than the demon cores and skin sacs.

Lu Xuan’s three fourth-grade sword talismans had been instrumental in resolving the seven demonic insects this time, and he had also saved Qiu Changguan when the insects attacked, so to be able to leave so much for the three of them was already quite generous.

Lu Xuan put his share of the loot into his storage bag, and a large amount of demonic beast blood and meat almost filled up the storage bag.

“There are still a few more to prepare, we’ll switch back to the Taolu Bug Sac later.”

He secretly thought, not letting go of even the fist-sized blood and meat.

There was no way around it, the demand for blood and flesh in the Netherworld’s small courtyard was simply too great.

It wasn’t easy to raise a family!
