Chapter 135 - 111: I’ll Just Start Killing

Chapter 135: Chapter 111: I’ll Just Start Killing

And not only that.

The Five Desires and Six Dust Heart Transformation Technique was also constantly devouring the desires from all directions.

This Spell was just too useful.

’Why didn’t I realize the Desire Relief Technique was this good before?’

His crimson eyes were filled with a crazed frenzy. Anyone else who saw him would have undoubtedly cursed Lu Changyuan for a madman.

"Kill one man in ten paces. Where’s the next?"

Lu Changyuan smiled faintly, but the smile quickly froze on his face.

RUMBLE—

Another mountain appeared before Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan recognized this thing.

Luo.

’You son of a bitch. You help me after you die, but you get in my way while you’re alive, is that it?’

Fifth Realm, approaching the Sixth Realm.

The giant’s fist arrived in an instant, smashing a huge crater into the ground. Lu Changyuan ran up the giant’s shoulder and kicked down from mid-air.

Unscathed.

That was just how the Stone Race was—absurdly tough. If Jiang Jiayi, with her Innate Sword Body, had been here, she could have killed Luo with her full power. But Lu Changyuan currently lacked Jiang Jiayi’s level of sharpness, so naturally, he had to think of another way.

’This is trouble.’

Back in the Netherworld, Lu Changyuan had already found this stone giant difficult to fight. Back then, it was Luo’s will that had taken Possession of the giant summoned by Xiao Qingfeng. What was he supposed to do now?

Luo smashed a fist directly at its own head, forcing Lu Changyuan to jump off. But in the next instant, that massive stone hand came crashing down again.

It looked slow, but it was actually extremely fast. Lu Changyuan used Broken Thought to barely deflect the stone hand, narrowly avoiding injury to the Nether Monarch in his arms.

"I said that you and I would be friends one day. Do you believe me?"

The giant’s answer to Lu Changyuan was a continuous barrage of fists.

Lu Changyuan could only dodge and weave, looking for opportunities to land a few stabs with his sword.

’Wait a minute.’

’This thing has no brain, only instinct, so Mei Zhaozhao’s Red Desire Technique won’t work. And since it’s impervious to blades and spears, it’s hard for me to cut it down.’

Lu Changyuan abruptly formed a hand seal, and countless tiny blades of grass sprouted from the stone giant’s body.

The giant froze for a moment, then began to furiously beat its chest. But it only had two huge hands and couldn’t perform precise movements; it was unable to pull out the grass that was sucking away its Life Force.

RUMBLE!

Luo thrashed about in a rage, rolling back and forth, trying to get rid of the grass. But it was useless unless it stopped and pulled them out one by one.

Lu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief. The creature’s Life Force was immense—so immense that the Life Force siphoned by the grass was enough to make Lu Changyuan let out a satisfied belch.

While Luo was rolling on the ground in agony, a giant scythe appeared from nowhere and launched a vicious sneak attack on Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan frowned, flicking the scythe away with Broken Thought. "What is this?"

Looking closely, he saw several gnomes. They were rubbing their hands together, and as they did so, another scythe materialized before Lu Changyuan.

’What race is this now?’

’Have the Spirit Race made enemies with this many races?’

Rain splattered against Lu Changyuan’s face. He stuck out his tongue, catching the clear rainwater to wash away the taste of blood.

"Gnomes?"

Lu Changyuan spoke in the language of the Spirit Race. But perhaps it was because the gnomes understood the Spirit Race’s tongue that they flew into a rage, conjuring numerous scythes that flew toward him.

The scythes were incredibly sharp. They sliced through massive trees that didn’t even seem to notice they had been cut, remaining upright. But if someone were to give the trees a push, they would topple over with a clean break at the trunk.

Lu Changyuan exhaled.

Raindrops on Lotus Leaves!

His sword was swift, like a sudden flash of light. A single raindrop was sliced in two, its halves reflecting the gnomes’ incredulous faces.

"Just Miao Yu’s Thirteen Swords. Something you can learn just by watching it once."

He’d picked it up just by watching while eating a skewer of candied fruit in Xia Lianxue’s dream. ’Then again, it’s not really ’stealing’ the technique,’ he thought. ’The Miao Yu Palace Master is my woman. How can you call that stealing?’

Lu Changyuan sheathed Broken Thought, preparing to continue on his way.

A rustling sound suddenly arose, as if something was slithering on the ground.

’Snakes?’

No, it was vines.

At some point, thick vines had spread across the ground in concentric circles, and Lu Changyuan was now standing right in the center.

Almost instantly, the vines began to constrict, binding Lu Changyuan’s legs completely. Countless small thorns suddenly sprouted from the vines, piercing the skin of his legs and greedily sucking his blood.

"Sucking my blood?"

Lu Changyuan was amused.

The Five Desires and Six Dust Heart Transformation Technique activated. His blood, carrying the Chaotic Qi from the Heart Method, flowed into the vines. In an instant, the verdant vines turned cherry-red, then began to frantically attack everything around them.

The first to be hit was Luo. It had just escaped the predicament of being covered in grass when it was tripped by the thick vines, crashing to the ground with a RUMBLE.

Lu Changyuan paid no more mind to the chaotic forest. Instead, he brandished his sword toward the distance and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing away.

~~~~~~~~~

The rain had never stopped.

The heavier the rain, the denser the dark clouds grew. And the denser the clouds, the less the sun could break through.

A fiery glow slowly rose from a thicket of trees.

The rain couldn’t extinguish this flame. Looking closer, one could see that this warmth didn’t come from burning firewood, but was the light emitted by a small, one-legged red bird.

The fire emanated from the red bird’s feathers, and the rain sizzled as it hit them.

"So the Bifang Bird actually exists."

Lu Changyuan let out a weary breath and gently placed the young woman down beside him.

He was exhausted.

’How long has it been?’

’I can’t remember.’

The black clothes on Lu Changyuan’s body were in tatters. His cheeks were streaked with blood, and his hair was matted and disheveled.
