Chapter 335: Keeping the Mystery Alive
Chapter 335 – Maintaining a Little Mystery
Most of the blood-robed cultivator’s aptitude and means were on those blood worms, which were reduced to nothingness by Lu Xuan’s great expense and deathless bombardment with more than twenty third-grade treasures.
His mind couldn’t help but drift off for a moment.
Seeing that the deep black sword awnings were about to fly in front of him, a green-gray humanoid puppet violently flashed out and blocked in front of the blood-robed cultivator.
“Still not waking up, do you want to obediently wait for death?”
A grim voice transmission resounded in the blood-robed cultivator’s sea of consciousness.
The cultivator instantly came to his senses as a ghostly black scripture streamer flew out, a gloomy wind gusted, and countless grievous souls surged out from within.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s mind moved, and the deep black sword awnings then produced a change.
In an instant, it transformed into a multitude of deep black lordly birds, soaring at great speed in the gusty winds, lightning flashing on their feathers.
When the resentful souls came into contact with them, it was as if they were like bubbles that shattered with a bang.
Dozens and hundreds of thousands of lordly sword qi attacked the blood-robed cultivator from all directions.
The fourth-grade Wind Thunder Sword that had been strengthened again and again, and the fourth-grade Thousand Lords Sword Technique produced by the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was famous in the cultivation world for its sword arts, combined their efforts to chop the blood-robed cultivator, who had lost a great deal of his strength, into chunks.
A green light escaped hastily from within his body and flew towards the short cultivator at lightning speed.
Lu Xuan was calm and collected, the Soul Drawing Lamp floating in front of him, the countless tentacle-like dark red spikes underneath the lamp base swaying to their hearts’ content.
The blood-robed cultivator’s remaining soul only felt a great attraction coming from the direction of the lantern, and couldn’t help but return to float inside the Soul Guide Lamp.
Turned into a clear face in the white candle.
“Your Excellency comes from which evil sect, actually even the soul is not spared, making it impossible to enter the middle of reincarnation.”
The short cultivator looked at the evil lantern in the air and asked with a grave expression.
“I’m just returning the favor in my own way, when you guys devoured the blood of the cultivators and refined their corpses into puppets, did you ever think that you might also have the same result as today?”
Lu Xuan laughed coldly, the Wind and Thunder Sword in his hand danced, and numerous deep black sword awnings whistled as they attacked the short cultivator.
The short cultivator knew that Lu Xuan was difficult to deal with, and even though his cultivation level was far higher than his, he was extremely fearful in his heart.
Although Lu Xuan had already used a fourth-grade sword talisman and many third-grade treasure beads, the short cultivator didn’t dare to bet that he still had similar treasures in his hands.
The cultivator’s already short body contracted dramatically, and then, the entire person transformed into countless black threads that shot into the various orifices of the greenish-gray corpse puppet.
Dozens of corpse puppets seemed to have a mind in an instant, all kinds of body techniques, arts and crafts, and so on, a brain toward Lu Xuan to make out.
Lu Xuan’s body flashed as his sword shot out, cutting a greenish gray corpse puppet close to him into pieces.
With a point of his foot, he transformed into a floating light, dodging the attacks of the three corpse puppets while his Wind and Thunder Sword Qi chopped towards the nearest corpse puppet.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew behind him.
The greenish gray corpse puppet that was originally chopped into pieces jumped up from the ground, either cutting or hammering or smashing, attacking Lu Xuan.
A baby cry sounded like a sob, and a three-foot-long straw man doll appeared out of thin air behind Lu Xuan’s back.
The doll had countless fine hay woven into it, and its face could vaguely be seen with Lu Xuan’s facial features that were three times similar to Lu Xuan.
The substitute Evil Infant that had been hanging at his waist blocked the sudden attack of the Corpse Puppet Fragment.
Lu Xuan came back to his senses and called out for a fluke in his heart.
If it wasn’t for the Substitute Evil Infant blocking it, if his own fleshly body was directly confronted with such a bizarre attack, it was possible that he would have suffered a considerable amount of injuries as a result.
He didn’t expect that this corpse puppet would still be able to launch such a fierce and sudden attack after being shattered into pieces.
“Corpse puppets are already fierce and fearless, and now with the integration of that short cultivator, the attacks are endless, and even the fragments can pose a deadly threat to themselves.”
“It is imperative that the cultivator hidden inside the many corpse puppets be uncovered.”
“The body can be transformed into countless black threads, but the soul is extremely difficult to do so, unless he has the strength of spirit consciousness of the JieDan realm, or cultivates an absolutely rare soul-splitting foreign art.” Lu Xuan’s mind turned and a thin layer of aura covered the surface of his eye pupils.
Under the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, his eyes could vaguely detect the black threads hidden inside the corpse puppet, and he could sense how many black threads there were, how long they were, and how they changed accordingly.
He pretended not to have discovered the corpse puppet’s mystery and continued to maneuver with the many corpse puppets.
“It’s now!”
A corpse puppet sneaked up to Lu Xuan’s side, and under the effect of Lu Xuan’s pupil technique, the black threads inside this corpse puppet were obviously stronger than the others, and it was highly likely that it was hiding a cultivator’s divine soul.
When the corpse puppet was about to launch an attack, suddenly, a crack appeared in front of his eyes, and a grayish eye pupil drilled out from the crack, staring at the corpse puppet without any emotional coloring.
The cultivator’s divine soul hidden inside the corpse puppet instantly felt that his mind kept falling, and countless illusions pulled him into a chaotic place.
He knew that it was not good, and his mind united, but when he awoke, he realized that a monstrous sword intent was locking onto him.
“Starfall Sword Talisman!”
The meteor in the surface of the sword talisman in Lu Xuan’s hand streaked by, the sword intent burning, attacking the corpse puppet with a humongous and unrivaled momentum.
In a flash of lightning, the short cultivator’s divine soul shifted inside a corpse puppet beside him.
However, the sword qi that was like a meteor seemed to have completely locked him in place, a folding direction, followed by the corpse puppet, which was struck into pieces and directly sublimated.
As the meteor sword qi traveled, its speed became faster and faster, and its might became stronger and stronger, cutting through a wonderful arc, cutting all the corpse puppets into nothingness.
The cultivator’s divine soul hidden inside the corpse puppets then dissipated.
“After completely eliminating all the corpse puppets, there’s no need to worry about being able to find you.”
Lu Xuan exclaimed in a low voice.
Of the three types of Sword Talismans that the Sword Nurturing Gourd opened up, the Tsunami Sword Talisman was a group attack, with sword qi surging like the waves of the sea.
The Great Sun Sword Talisman was able to take in people’s hearts and minds, and the sword qi was fierce and overbearing.
The Starfall Sword Talisman, on the other hand, had the strongest single attack and the fastest speed, with a determination that would not stop until the opponent was cut down.
“Unfortunately, there’s no chance for you to bet on how many sword talismans I still have in my storage bag.”
Lu Xuan said darkly, having just picked up the short cultivator’s storage bag.
“Hmm, how come the shadowy aura coming from the Unsullied Jade is increasing instead of decreasing?”
Lu Xuan’s heart snapped as his Spiritual Sense swept through, realizing that at some point, the black aura at the bottom of the Jade Pool had reached an extremely dense point.
It was like substance, constantly churning, and there was a shuddering aura coming from within.
“The fifth grade Heterogeneous Longevity Peach …… is suppressed by four powerful treasures ……”
Lu Xuan’s mind turned sharply, and a golden jade book appeared out of thin air.
Flipping open the jade album, a majestic chirp that carried out the entire secret realm rang out.
A golden crow whose body was burning with white and gold flames shot out in lightning!
In an instant, the entire heaven and earth turned white, filled with endless pure white flames.
The black qi inside the jade pool was like snow under the scorching sun, melting at a rapid pace.
“Regardless of what you are from, it’s better to maintain a bit of mystery.”
Lu Xuan closed the jade book, and the Golden Crow in the air chirped crisply, turning into a white light and drilling inside the jade book.
Only the monstrous pure white flame was still burning.
