Chapter 78: The evil creature that builds the foundation is destroyed with one sword
Boom! As Lu Chen swung his sword, a silver-white dragon formed by sword energy descended from the sky and landed directly on the half of the giant armored worm's body that was exposed on the ground.
The next second, the giant armored worm that was still drilling into the ground seemed to have been paused and stopped.
At the same time, Lu Chen's figure fell lightly from the air.
After landing, he turned around and walked towards Zheng Liu and the other two without even looking at the giant armored worm that had stopped moving.
Just after he took a few steps, countless blood lines appeared on the half of the giant armored worm's body exposed on the ground, and countless black blood spurted out.
The giant armored worm that was so powerful in the eyes of Zheng Liu and the others was actually killed by Lu Chen so easily... with just one sword.
[You killed a Nine Nether Giant Armored Worm (Eighth Level of Qi Training Stage) and gained 100 experience points...]
[Current experience value: 4325]
Lu Chen looked at the panel prompt that appeared in front of him and silently put away the magic sword in his hand.
He returned to Zheng Liu and the other two, looked at them in amazement, and said calmly, "Go east. The west is the lair of the evil creatures. Don't go the wrong way."
After kindly reminding them, Lu Chen walked west alone without waiting for their response.
Zheng Liu looked at Lu Chen walking away and was about to say something when he was immediately stopped by Xu Jianliang beside him.
Xu Jianliang looked at Zheng Liu's puzzled expression and shook his head to signal her not to speak.
After Lu Chen disappeared into the night, Zheng Liu couldn't help but say, "Jianliang, why did you hold me back just now? We could have tried to act together with Lu. You've seen his strength. If..."
"Innocent."
Before Zheng Liu could finish his words, Chai Xi interrupted him.
He looked at the direction where Lu Chen left and explained calmly: "Zheng Liuni wants to act with others, but that also requires others to be willing."
"As for the three of us, not only will there be no benefit for him to take us with him, but he will also have to take care of us. Do you think he will be willing to take care of three burdens?"
"Student Lu was kind enough to save us and tell us where to go to be safer. You even wanted him to protect us. Zheng Liu, why are you so naive? Do you think everyone is a kind person like Student Xu Jianliang?"
After listening to Chai Xi's words, Zheng Liu finally realized how stupid his previous thoughts were.
But people are like this. Even if they know they have made a mistake, they still like to stick to their guns. So Zheng Liu snorted and refused to admit his mistake.
And seeing Chai Xi scolding Zheng Liu again, he was speechless.
In order to maintain the team atmosphere, Xu Jianliang had to act as a peacemaker again.
"Alright, alright, you two should stop arguing. There was such a big noise here just now. We'd better get back here as soon as possible."
"You see, Jianliang is smart, unlike someone who is stupid and can only cry."
"you……"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, stop arguing..."
Seeing Zheng Liu and Chai Xi about to quarrel again, Xu Jianliang felt a headache.
Alas, this team... is not easy to lead.
At the same time, in a square in the west of the city.
"Ahhh! Don't come over here!"
A student from No. 3 Middle School collapsed on the ground, looking at the monster that was approaching him with fear on his face.
It was a 15-meter-tall humanoid creature that looked like a mantis.
Faced with these three middle school students who had lost their will to fight and could only cry and beg for mercy.
A human-like smile actually appeared on the monster's face.
"Tell me where you all suddenly came from, then maybe I can let you go."
The three middle school students were stunned when they heard the monster suddenly speak in human language.
But the next second, he reacted suddenly.
This is not human speech at all. This monster is clearly using the "telepathic communication" that only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can use.
The so-called telepathic communication is essentially a kind of communication through telepathy.
The biggest feature of this communication method is that it allows different species to communicate without obstacles.
The fact that this monster could transmit sound through telepathy was undoubtedly telling the three middle school students in front of it that it was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Thinking of this, the three middle school students, who were already a little frightened, fell into complete despair.
Damn it, damn it, damn it. In such a big examination hall, why am I so unlucky to encounter an evil creature in the foundation-building stage!
Looking at the three middle school students who were too scared to speak, the humanoid evil creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage shook its head with regret.
"You won't tell me? That's a pity..."
The evil creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage swung its sword and directly cut off the head of the third middle school student.
Looking at the headless bodies of the three middle school students, it licked the blood on the blade of its right arm, with boredom written all over its face.
"Weak, too weak."
"Why doesn't the king let me hunt down those human cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage? It's too boring here..."
As he said that, the Foundation Establishment Stage evil creature waved his hand and asked the other Nine Netherworld evil creatures beside him to go up and share the body of the third middle school student.
Then the wings behind it flapped and it flew into the air.
The evil creature in the foundation-building stage stopped in the air, looking at the ruins of the city below, muttering to itself: "Alas, I hope I can get some valuable prey..."
After saying that, it suddenly flew towards somewhere in the ruins and began to patrol again.
【Name: Jade-faced Mantis】
[Race: Jiuyou]
[Strength: Foundation Building Stage 2]
[Features: A special humanoid creature evolved from the Jade Mantis, with superb swordsmanship]
At four o'clock in the morning, in a shopping mall in the west district of the city, Bang! Lu Chen killed the spider-faced man in front of him with a sword.
The blue lotus pupil in his eyes kept spinning, checking to see if there were any other evil creatures from the Nine Netherworlds moving around.
Thanks to his outstanding body movements and swordsmanship.
So far, he has killed countless Nine Netherworld evil creatures and gained more than two thousand experience points.
And the speed at which he gained experience points was even faster than in the dungeon.
If he hadn't been afraid of being besieged by the evil creatures from the Nine Netherworlds, he might have gone on a killing spree to further speed up his experience acquisition.
After all, a single Nine Netherworld evil creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage did not pose much of a threat to him.
Because even if he didn't use the special method of the Outer Path Sword, his current strength was enough to defeat an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Nine Netherworld Evil Creature in a one-on-one battle.
But the battlefield is no joke.
If a Nine Netherworld evil creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage brought a large number of Qi Condensation Stage evil creatures to besiege him, he would have no choice but to run away.
After all, his current advantage is his offensive power that far exceeds his own level.
In contrast, his life-saving methods and defensive abilities are somewhat sparse and ordinary.
Once he is besieged, he will be in danger unless he can break out of the siege in a short period of time.
Otherwise, with his fragile body, even an ordinary evil creature in the Qi training stage could cause fatal harm to him.
"I will pay more attention to this aspect of cultivation in the future. After all, I can't be resurrected infinitely in reality like in the dungeon."
"Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now, and there's still time to remedy the situation."
"Among the magical powers of gold and earth attributes, there should be quite a few that meet my requirements. I will just pay more attention to them in the future."
"As long as I can improve my ability to survive and my physical strength, I will no longer have any shortcomings..."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen turned and walked towards the underground garage of the shopping mall.
The reason why Lu Chen has a special liking for underground garages is because his spiritual perception in the foundation-building period is powerful.
However, they cannot penetrate the underground garage of more than ten meters and sense the situation inside the garage.
Therefore, as long as you hide underground, you don’t have to worry about being discovered by the evil creatures in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the sky.
But just when Lu Chen arrived at the first floor of the mall and was about to walk to the underground garage.
A series of dark shadows suddenly passed through the hollow area in the center of the mall and attacked him fiercely.
Almost as an instinctive reaction, Lu Chen subconsciously swung his sword towards the black shadow.
Bang! As a spark appeared, Lu Chen only felt a huge force coming from the magic sword, and it slid back for a long distance before finally stopping.
He raised his head, the blue lotus in his pupils kept spinning, and he looked at the powerful enemy who suddenly appeared in front of him with a serious expression.
Looking at the very few lotus marks on the other party's body and the heavy energy reaction within its body.
Lu Chen quickly understood the other party's strength level.
That’s right, it’s the foundation-building stage…
The Jade-faced Mantis looked at Lu Chen, an interested expression showing on its triangular head.
"I'm lucky. I actually encountered a valuable prey."
"Human, I hope you can let me experience a little bit of the fun of fighting..."
The Jade-faced Mantis spoke in an arrogant tone, as if he only regarded Lu Chen as a toy to pass the time and did not take him seriously at all.
But it's not the only one feeling lucky at this moment.
And there is Lu Chen, whom it regards as a toy.
After all, after seeing the appearance of the Jade-faced Mantis, Lu Chen immediately observed the surrounding environment.
He discovered that this Jade-faced Mantis found him alone, and there were no other Nine Netherworld evil creatures within a hundred meters.
And for him, a lone Nine Netherworld evil creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage... isn't it just an experience package delivered to his doorstep?
His luck is really good!
At the same time, in the conference room of No. 2 Middle School.
When the Jade-faced Mantis found Lu Chen, Lu Chen, who was originally a little-known figure, was immediately noticed by many teachers.
After all, there were only ten Foundation Establishment Stage Nine Netherworld evil creatures in the entire examination room.
Therefore, each of their actions will naturally be the focus of attention of the teachers in the conference room.
A teacher from No. 3 Middle School looked at Lu Chen who was stopped by the Jade-faced Blade Mantis and said with some regret, "The students from No. 1 Middle School are a bit unlucky. In less than a day, they encountered a Foundation Establishment Stage evil creature alone, and it was a Jade-faced Blade Mantis that was famous for its speed. It looks like he will be eliminated soon."
A teacher from the No. 2 Middle School nearby heard this and immediately agreed, "Who says it's not true? In previous joint exams, the majority of students were eliminated by Jade-faced Mantis."
"After all, this kind of Foundation Establishment evil creature with extremely fast speed and superb swordsmanship is almost impossible for most candidates to defeat."
"If I remember correctly, the last student who defeated the Jade-faced Blade Mantis one-on-one was the genius who was admitted to Shangqing Daogong No. 1 Middle School ten years ago, right?"
"But even though he is such a genius, the Jade-faced Mantis he encountered was only in a severely injured state, and he was able to barely win in the end."
Chen Fugui listened to the discussion between the two teachers and looked at Lu Chen on the screen with a nervous expression.
Although he was one of the few people who knew Lu Chen better.
But his understanding was limited to the mock exam at that time.
With Lu Chen's performance at that time, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Jade-faced Mantis, who was known as the candidate killer.
Thinking that Lu Chen, whom he had placed high hopes on, might fail on the first day of the joint entrance examination of three schools.
Chen Fugui felt unlucky for no reason.
No, Xiao Lu, what’s wrong with you?
In such a big examination hall, how come you happened to meet this jade-faced mantis alone? It’s such a pity that you didn’t buy a lottery ticket.
Also, when others meet other classmates, they try their best to cooperate with them.
You are so arrogant that even after meeting your classmates from your school, you still insist on acting alone.
What's wrong with you, kid? You don't really think you are so talented that you can bully others in the examination room! No, when you leave the examination room later, I will teach you a lesson.
A monk can be proud, but he must never be arrogant.
If you enter the Taoist temple in this state, you will suffer a great loss!
After all, the Taoist Academy lacks everything except monsters that are superior to geniuses! In the abandoned shopping mall, Jade-faced Mantis looked at Lu Chen, who had been standing there motionless since he appeared.
I thought he was just like the several human monks I met before, who were all frightened by it.
This made the Jade-faced Mantis somewhat disappointed.
After all, it rushed over as soon as it sensed that a large number of its men had died.
And when it discovered that the guy who killed so many of its men was actually only one person.
It immediately became very interested in Lu Chen and felt that it had found a very good toy.
And this interest reached its peak after Lu Chen blocked its first attack.
After all, from the time it came to Yushan City until now, it has not encountered any decent enemies.
There are only a handful of beings that can even block one of its attacks.
Therefore, after seeing Lu Chen's expression of 'giving up resistance', Jade-faced Mantis was more or less disappointed.
What's the fun in killing a prey that doesn't resist?
Thinking of this, the Jade-faced Mantis spoke again, preparing to appropriately inspire the fighting spirit of this toy.
"Hey, human boy, guess how many of your people I have killed from the beginning till now?"
Listening to the divine voice in his ear, Lu Chen did not reply, but just looked at it calmly.
The pupil with twelve petals kept rotating, as if recording something.
The Jade-faced Mantis didn't notice this at all.
Or rather, it noticed it, but didn't care at all.
Facing the silent Lu Chen, the Jade-faced Mantis said to himself, "One hundred and twenty-three. A full one hundred and twenty-three."
"I have to admit that your human body is too weak."
“Even if it’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator among your race, as long as I get close enough to them, I can easily kill them with one strike.”
“Come to think of it, I really miss the first human cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage that I encountered. It was such a thrilling battle.”
"Originally, I was no match for that guy. Many times when I tried to get close to him, he would use his magic weapon to force me back."
"But guess what? In order to protect the ordinary people behind him and buy time for those weaker guys to escape, that guy took the initiative to resist my attacks several times and gave up many opportunities to inflict heavy damage on me."
"I really don't understand what you human race strongmen are thinking. Why do you have such strange ideas?"
"Such an action is simply the stupidest thing in our Jiuyou clan."
"How can a strong person voluntarily give up the chance to escape in order to protect the weak?"
"But you know what, it was precisely because of your stupid ideas that I found the opportunity to turn defeat into victory."
"After I discovered this, I gave up attacking the Foundation Establishment Stage human and turned to hunt down the group of ordinary people."
"As expected, that guy was not only angry, but he even distracted himself and used his magic weapon to protect these ordinary people."
"But this way, he won't be able to focus on protecting himself!"
"I immediately seized the opportunity and cut off the guy's arm with one blow, and then used this opportunity to cut off his limbs a few rounds later."
"Do you want to guess why I didn't just kill him?"
Facing the waves of proud words coming from the Jade-faced Mantis's 'telepathic voice'.
Lu Chen maintained a calm expression throughout, seemingly unmoved.
The more he did this, the more inexplicably angry the Jade-faced Mantis became, and it wanted to make Lu Chen's emotions fluctuate.
So it walked towards Lu Chen while sneerfully saying, "I want him to watch with his own eyes the weak people he protected being eaten by my men one by one."
"Not only that, I want to keep him by my side and watch me hunt down those ordinary people who have no ability to resist."
"Hehehe... I really miss the angry, unwilling, and desperate look in his eyes. It was so funny to me."
As it said this, the Jade-faced Mantis walked within five steps of Lu Chen.
At this point, Lu Chen finally spoke.
"Are you done?"
"Um?"
The Jade-faced Mantis looked at Lu Chen in surprise, not understanding where this Qi training toy got the confidence to say such things.
But the next second, it suddenly felt an inexplicable breath locking onto itself.
It felt as if countless sharp swords were pointed across its neck, making it feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
The Jade-faced Mantis looked at Lu Chen in disbelief, as if it had not expected that it would feel such oppression from a human cultivator in the Qi training stage.
W-What's going on?!
"Now that you're done... you can go die now."
Clang! With the dull sound of a sharp sword coming out of its body, Jade-faced Saber Mantis suddenly saw a terrifying sword shadow rushing towards him.
The speed of this sword is so fast that it is even faster than the knife technique.
Faced with this sudden life-and-death crisis, the Jade-faced Mantis could only cross its arms and resist hastily.
Just as it was arrogant when it mocked Lu Chen before, it was just as embarrassed now as it was in such a mess.
Bang! As the cold light flashed and collided with its sharp blade arm, the Jade-faced Mantis only felt a sharp pain in its arm.
Its blade arm, which was comparable to a human magic weapon, was actually cracked by Lu Chen's sword.
No, how did this human monk know that he had been injured at this location on his blade arm? Could it be...
The Jade-faced Mantis glanced at Lu Chen's strange lotus pupils and finally understood why this guy had been silent and just looking at him calmly.
It turns out that he has been observing my weaknesses! PS: The 10,000-word update is finished. Fat Tiger will try to finish it early tomorrow.
