Chapter 2550 - 2240: Lu Chen’s Confusion

As Lu Chen raised his hand, Zhao Wuxin’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Not only did his eye pupils contract, but the pupils of the other eyes on his body also shrank to a point, as if he had encountered a tremendous fright.

Feeling the power gathering between Lu Chen’s forefinger, a nameless fear rose deep in Zhao Wuxin’s heart.

He had a premonition that under Lu Chen’s finger, it was very likely he would die.

Zhao Wuxin comforted himself inwardly, telling himself that now he was a Deceit Demon’s body, how could he die?

This must be a misperception; perhaps it was Lu Chen’s Cultivation Technique affecting him, causing such thoughts.

Just as Zhao Wuxin was comforting himself, the power in Lu Chen’s forefinger gathered into a black dot, and Lu Chen immediately released the Death Light.

The black Death Light burst out from his forefinger, instantly piercing through Zhao Wuxin’s body.

As Lu Chen anticipated, the Death Light did not directly erase Zhao Wuxin, but when it pierced his body, the eyes on Zhao Wuxin’s body turned grayish white as if blinded.

An indescribable agony swept through Zhao Wuxin’s body, causing him to let out a heart-wrenching scream of pain.

"Ahhhhh!"

The black Death Light blasted a huge bloody hole in Zhao Wuxin’s lower right abdomen.

With a Deceit Demon’s regenerative power, this bloody hole could heal instantly.

However, the Death Light emitted by the Undying Bone seemed to prevent anything tainted with it from healing, meaning Zhao Wuxin couldn’t heal even with his internal Evil Spirit.

Fortunately, as a Deceit Demon, he was already somewhat a Mysterious, so even with such severe injuries, Zhao Wuxin didn’t die immediately.

Seeing Zhao Wuxin not completely obliterated by the Undying Bone’s power, Lu Chen thought it seemed the Undying Bone’s power alone was unlikely to erase a Saint Realm entity.

But what if two Undying Bones’ powers were used?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen gathered the Undying Bone’s power at his fingertips again and completely released it against Zhao Wuxin.

Two black Death Lights flew from Lu Chen’s fingers and merged together, forming a thicker black Death Light.

This time, Lu Chen aimed at Zhao Wuxin’s head, believing that even with a Mysterious Body, he couldn’t possibly survive with his head blown off.

Seeing the black dot growing closer, Zhao Wuxin was terrified to the extreme.

Hurriedly, he pleaded:

"Don’t kill me, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know!!!"

Lu Chen said, "It’s too late now."

Once the power of the Undying Bone was released, even Lu Chen couldn’t retract it.

Zhao Wuxin didn’t have time to scream; the merged Death Light instantly pierced his head, directly erasing it.

If he were a true Mysterious, even without his head, he could grow a new one.

Even if their bodies were erased, the Ancestor of the Strange could revive them.

However, Zhao Wuxin and the others were merely Deceit Demons, not yet fully transformed into Mysterious, lacking the ability of immortality, just tougher to kill.

After Zhao Wuxin’s head was erased, his physical body shriveled at a visible speed, as if drained dry, soon leaving only skin and bones.

Seeing Zhao Wuxin utterly dead, Lu Chen looked at his finger with satisfaction, realizing that if he could hit the head, the Undying Bone could indeed kill a Saint Realm.

In the future, when facing Saint Realm enemies, he would release the Undying Bone’s power aimed at their heads.

Seeing Zhao Wuxin erased by Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin raised her hand, and a gigantic palm spanning thousands of feet descended from the sky, slamming down onto all the Deceit Demons present.

This strike did not kill all the Deceit Demons; some, even heavily injured, could still crawl up from the ground.

The Deceit Demons were already considered half Mysterious, so killing them wasn’t easy.

Of course, this mainly was because Chu Yuqin was merely a clone of Chu Yunzhi, plus the Mysterious Power within her was not abundant, her strength not fully restored, so she couldn’t control life and death like the Ancestor of the Strange.

If she could regain the power from the time of the Deceitful Emperor, she could then use the Power of Laws to erase those Deceit Demons directly.

The Ancestor of the Strange held absolute control over the Mysterious; if they wanted Mysterious to disappear, they would.

After all, all the Mysterious in this world stem from the Ancestor of the Strange.

The Deceit Demons in the Yellow Springs Sect still retained human consciousness, and realizing they would be erased, they fled in all directions, knowing they were no match when even Zhao Wuxin, a Saint Realm, was erased.

Chu Yuqin hovered in the sky, watching the fleeing Deceit Demons in the distance, said to Lu Chen:

"Leave the rest to you."

She knew Lu Chen’s Heavenly Tribulation Soil could counter Deceit Demons, and since she couldn’t kill them, she’d leave it to Lu Chen.

By quickly handling these Deceit Demons, they could proceed to the border to see what the Deceit Tide was all about.

Lu Chen immediately activated the Heavenly Tribulation Soil, transforming it into countless arrow shards, shooting the arrows formed by the Heavenly Tribulation Soil at the scattered Deceit Demons.

Once the Heavenly Tribulation Soil pierced their bodies, those Deceit Demons fell from the sky.

Worried that some might escape, Chu Yuqin proactively released pressure, confining all Deceit Demons in place, preventing further escape.

With their cooperation, no Deceit Demons on the scene survived.

Staring at the Deceit Demons’ corpses on the ground, even though they were dead, Lu Chen still felt somewhat nauseated, as if the eye clusters on those corpses were glaring at him.

Lu Chen descended from the sky to Zhao Wuxin’s corpse and examined it.

Chu Yuqin also approached Lu Chen.

Then Lu Chen said:

"I fear your memories being sealed is closely tied to the Netherworld Evil Emperor, and these people were likely sent by him to seize the Memory Pearl."

"Yet, if the Netherworld Evil Emperor is sending people to look for your Memory Pearls, that proves he’s aware your memories are in a sealed state."

"But why didn’t he take this opportunity to gain control over you all?"

Lu Chen was puzzled, for when the Netherworld Evil Emperor trapped the other female Ancestors of the Strange in the Burial Furnace, it was to use the Chaos Qi within to erase their memories and control them.

Now with Chu Yuqin and the others’ memories sealed, for the Netherworld Evil Emperor, it was an opportune moment.

Since he dispatched people to this world, regardless of whether the memory disappearance of the Ancestors of the Strange was his doing, he should know the memories of the female Ancestors of the Strange were now sealed.

Why didn’t he seize this opportunity to control all female Ancestors of the Strange, instead of sending minor minions to search for Chu Yuqin and their Memory Pearls?
