Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
So this thing escaped in front of him!
Chen Luo quickly came to a conclusion.
The temperature around him was still rising, and the talisman paper figurines, puppets, and spirit insects that he had sent out to explore the way were all burned into residue by the flames. The vengeful spirit of the nine-headed lion still retains its instincts from life, and the fire it controls is extremely terrifying. This skillful method can bring the bloodline of the Nine-headed Lion to its fullest potential, making it rare to find an opponent of the same level.
'The numbers are seven, nine, twelve, and thirty-three'
The external brain became active, and Chen Luo's body was like a puppet controlled by countless silk strings. He accurately dodged several attacks from the nine-headed lion. Even the rain of fire falling from the sky could not hurt him at all.
Just as Chen Luo retreated to the side of a burning dead tree, another thought emerged in his mind.
'Someone is peeking, under the ninth dead tree at the rear right. '
Chen Luo appeared behind the ninth tree as if teleporting. The invisible nine-headed lion spirit attacked again, and flames covered the entire area.
boom! !
The dead tree exploded, blocking out the flames.
Bloody bamboo emerged from below. The densely packed bamboo swords were like blooming flowers, indiscriminately attacking everyone in the area.
On the ground, the withered yellow bamboo roots spread out like earthworms, and in the blink of an eye they changed the color of the earth.
Flames and blood bamboo divide the area.
There was burning rain of fire above and exploding blood bamboo below.
"Daoyou, do you need help?"
Shengshengzhu's voice sounded faintly, and her whole body was like a puppet, growing out from a bamboo branch.
The branches broke, Shengshengzhu's feet fell to the ground, the color of his body changed rapidly, and in a flash, he turned into a normal person.
She smiled and stretched out her right hand to pat Chen Luo's shoulder.
The casual movements were like meeting old friends.
This bamboo is not normal! As a plant demon, it was not afraid of the demon fire. The flames of the nine-headed lion hit the bamboo, making a "clang" sound, as if it hit an iron string.
Chen Luo flipped his hand, and the pitch-black chessboard appeared in his hand again.
This time, a black light shone on the chessboard. It flew out from the chessboard like chess squares and hit Shengshengzhu's face from the front.
Buzz! !
The wriggling bamboo roots spread out from the ground and collided with the chessboard. The expected explosion did not occur. The bamboo roots sank backwards like branches, and all the spiritual light on the chessboard was removed by this force. At this moment, Shengshengzhu's raised right hand touched Chen Luo's arm.
“Success!”
A new face suddenly appeared on Shengshengzhu's left cheek, and a crazy laugh came out of it. But after just two bursts of laughter, it stopped abruptly as if someone had pinched the neck.
The Chen Luo whom he met before had a strangely stiff face, the color on his face faded, and he slowly turned into a puppet.
"Puppet?! Why is it a puppet?!"
Another face popped out from Shengshengzhu's body.
Bang!
A golem with three heads and eight arms appeared behind, with eight hands holding a fiery red hammer, smashing over from the side. Dark red lines appeared on the surface of the hammer, and it began to burn like a flame.
boom! !
The right side of Shengshengzhu's head suddenly collapsed, and half of his head was smashed flat by the hammer, forming an irregular zigzag shape with his body.
With a loud bang, a circular white air wave exploded, and Shengshengzhu's body, along with the bamboo in front and the bamboo roots on the ground, were all smashed into pieces under this hammer. The violent aftermath turned into a vertical beam of light and blasted straight into the cemetery ahead.
There was another loud bang, and the energy from the pseudo-immortal weapon exploded in the cemetery. The shock wave rolled out from inside and turned into a gust of air, making Chen Luo's clothes rustle.
Chen Luo did not hold back at all when he struck this blow.
He could clearly feel the evil thoughts this woman had towards him, and Brother Changqing in his external brain kept reminding him of the threat posed by this woman.
Although he didn't know what methods Shengshengzhu had, Chen Luo still chose to strike first.
Kill one first, then deal with the other.
After one blow, the spiritual power in the body was completely consumed, and the external energy was turned into a paste. As the three of them fought, the spiritual energy in the area was dissipated, and a large amount of black dust fell from the sky.
'Behind, the nine-headed lion ghost. '
Brother Changqing’s thoughts resurfaced.
Bang! !
Chen Luo sensed it, but his body couldn't keep up. With a muffled groan, Chen Luo felt a numbness on his back and was knocked to the ground by the force. The cold poisonous fire rushed into his body, and it seemed as if the force would burn him into ashes, leaving him no chance to breathe.
"cough!"
Chen Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This time he was really injured. He endured the pain and his aura changed rapidly. Scorching flames emerged from his body.
The nine-headed lion's brain took the lead. The poisonous fire that was injected into his body by the resentful spirits was quickly transformed into supplements under the control of the nine-headed lion's brain and began to help him recover from his injuries.
But the vengeful spirit obviously would not give him a chance, and another impact sent him flying.
This also aroused Chen Luo's ruthlessness.
He steadied his body, and as the fire energy was digested, his injuries recovered quickly. This time he took out the Soul Banner directly.
To deal with things like resentful spirits, the Soul Banner is the best weapon.
Woohoo
As soon as the vengeful spirit appeared, the temperature around it immediately dropped a lot. The old swordsman and Master Lin Feng came out first. Without Chen Luo's orders, the two guys rushed towards the resentful lion at the first moment. They can see things that the spiritual consciousness and the naked eye cannot see. Because they are also 'souls'.
boom! !
The three forces collided with each other, and Master Lin Feng and the old swordsman rushed out and died as quickly as they went. Although they are fearless and brave, they are clearly one level lower than the vengeful spirit of the nine-headed lion.
'Danger! '
Before Chen Luo could retreat, the vengeful spirit of the nine-headed lion appeared beside him again.
Perhaps the Soul Banner made it sense danger, or perhaps the aura of the nine-headed lion on Chen Luo angered him. This time, the vengeful spirit of the nine-headed lion did not attack again, but instead stuck directly to Chen Luo. The flames gathered on his body, and then
boom! !
Self-destruction.
In the past, Chen Luo always controlled the Soul Banner to blow up others, but this time he hit upon a chance and was blown up by the vengeful spirit of the Nine-headed Lion. This is the most dangerous place in the legendary world of the demon race. Most of the demons living here are crazy, and there are very few people who can communicate with them.
The reason he was able to meet three before was entirely because the flower-backed turtle was leading the way and helped him screen out the crazy ones.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the attack generated by the self-explosion reached its limit. Even the brain of the nine-headed lion could not digest so much power at once. What's more, this new brain is still in the running-in period, and the brain and body are not familiar with each other.
Chen Luo flew backwards in mid-air, and a wild boar demon walked out from the tomb entrance.
This wild boar was the evil spirit that Shengshengzhu had warned Chen Luo to be careful of before it came here.
“I didn’t expect it to be this cheap.”
The wild boar demon spewed out two streams of white air, and the smile on his face reached his ears.
All three sides suffered losses.
It deserves to be that good thing, old pig!
Looking at the 'corpse' flying backwards, the wild boar demon stretched out his right hand. Just when he was about to catch the other party, the originally dead 'corpse' suddenly came to life. A blue light emerged from its body. The body seemed to be twisted by someone. It turned in the air and rushed into the crooked tree.
It all happened extremely suddenly.
The wild boar demon was so surprised that he didn't react at all. He looked around blankly, then looked at the big hole left by the fight between the three men, and finally raised his hand and slapped himself.
“It’s not an illusion.”
But if it wasn't an illusion, how could the flying corpse turn in mid-air?
The morning sun illuminates the sky.
The leaves in the forest are covered with dewdrops, which emit crystal clear light under the sunlight, as beautiful as pearls. The little bird was chirping on the branch.
Buzz! !
A layer of light streaked across the sky and fell into the distant mountains and forests, making a loud bang. The gravel flew everywhere, raising a lot of dust and scaring away a group of birds in the forest.
Squeak
The old wooden wheel rolled over the grass on the road, taking away the moisture on it and leaving a deep rut on the ground.
Old man Yang sat on the main seat, waving his whip.
He had to rush to the Aokiyama market to sell charcoal. It was already late autumn, and he had to earn more money to buy food for the winter. The cart of charcoal behind him took him a long time to prepare.
Xi Yuyu! !
The old horse, which was on the road, suddenly stopped and made a frightened sound.
Before Old Man Yang could scold, he saw a black object falling from the sky, followed by an earthquake and a strong wind blowing from the falling area, scaring the old horse so much that he stepped back repeatedly. The charcoal on the cart also kept shaking and was about to fall off the carriage.
“Ouch!!”
Lao Yang knew that he must not panic at this time. He pulled the reins with all his strength and used all his power. It took him a long time to steady the old horse and save the cart of charcoal.
Only when the strong wind in the forest stopped did he breathe a sigh of relief.
'How come something is falling from the sky in broad daylight? Could it be jade? '
Looking at the area ahead where the explosion came from, Lao Yang got off the carriage.
He looked around and saw no one else.
The road he took was not the official road, but a shortcut to Aoki Mountain. Only nearby villagers like him know about this, and basically no one comes here on weekdays. Because this road was opened up by private salt dealers, he would not have taken this road if he was not in a hurry this time.
'It seems like there is something! '
Old Yang peered through the pine forest and seemed to catch a glimpse of a flash of light.
This involuntarily reminded him of a rumor he heard at the market. The owner of Qingmu Mountain has a piece of colorful jade that fell from the sky in his hand. It is said that the owner of Qingmu Mountain spent eight thousand taels of silver to purchase this piece of jade!
That’s eight thousand taels!
'Could it be that I am going to get rich too? '
Old Yang's heart was burning with excitement. After tying the carriage to a nearby tree, he quickly rushed to the area where the black light fell. (End of this chapter)
