Chapter 304 The Mother Buddha Temple
The sinister woman was incomparably excited and agitated.
Li Muyang was slightly startled.
This sinister woman could see that he was an Ascendant?
How did she manage that?
Li Muyang had been in the Refinement Demon Sect for so long, and even the Elders hadn’t noticed he was an Ascendant.
In the game, he even encountered the wandering gods from beyond the borders, and they hadn’t noticed he was an Ascendant either.
Yet this mysterious, sinister woman before him had recognized him as an Ascendant?
Li Muyang furrowed his brow and asked, “How did you know I’m an Ascendant?”
But as soon as Li Muyang’s words fell, the sinister woman excitedly screamed.
“By eating an Ascendant, I will be able to ascend and become an immortal!”
The next second, the woman brandished the eerie black sword in her hand and charged forward.
She and Li Muyang had originally been ten feet apart.
But the moment she lifted her foot to step, she seemed to ignore the spatial distance and instantly appeared in front of Li Muyang.
The eerie black sword, without any warning, stabbed into Li Muyang’s body.
If it weren’t for Li Muyang’s instinctive dodge in that critical moment, his heart would have been pierced!
But even though he had avoided a fatal blow, Li Muyang, with a sword through his chest, still stiffened and felt intense pain.
It was as if countless tiny spikes had grown inside the flesh pierced by the black sword, making his flesh tremble violently.
Without hesitation, Li Muyang directly summoned heavenly lightning.
Dark tribulation clouds obscured the light from the sky, and the dense and ominous energy of the lightning filled the world.
The next second, golden heavenly lightning streaked across the sky and earth.
The dazzling golden light made the world around them lose color.
In Li Muyang’s view, the sinister woman screamed in agony, struck by the tribulation lightning, and as she struggled painfully, she turned to ash.
Her black sword was apparently one with her.
As she disintegrated into ash, that same disintegration of body and soul spread to the black sword in her hand, reducing it to ash as well.
Only the plain white sachet fell to the ground, not turning to ash along with the woman.
The forest became silent once again.
The doubtful Jiao’er, looking dazed, watched the whole scene unfold, still somewhat bewildered.
“What… what happened?”
Everything had happened too quickly.
She hadn’t even clearly seen what was going on, and the heavenly lightning had already struck.
Li Muyang, clutching the wound on his chest, took a deep breath, “This woman’s methods are so strange!”
He had intended to engage in some conversation with the woman, but she had not played by the rules, attacking fiercely from the start.
Luckily, his reaction was quick, or he would have been the one to die.
Li Muyang picked up the plain white sachet from the ground and carefully inspected it before discovering that it contained a strange, soft white object.
As he was puzzled, a system prompt popped up in his field of vision.
[White Bone Taishou: An exotic creature born from the corpse of a demon god, it survives by devouring the lifespan of living beings] Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
The system had directly identified the strange sachet.
Li Muyang opened the system’s illustrated handbook and found that Jiao’er’s hunting illustrated handbook had added the existence of the White Bone Taishou.
And it was mythological quality food!
Li Muyang was slightly surprised, pondered for a few seconds, and then threw the White Bone Taishou directly into his mouth.
A cool breath flowed into Li Muyang’s belly and, in an instant, his field of vision was flooded with system prompts of [Experience Points +10].
After only half a minute, this digested White Bone Taishou had provided Li Muyang with 19% experience points.
These experience points would require the slaying of a dozen or more evil creatures to match.
Li Muyang marveled at the miraculous nature of the White Bone Taishou, but unfortunately, there was only one piece.
After returning to the town he had visited earlier, Li Muyang had intended to deal with that “resurrected” sinister young girl.
But when he reached the outskirts of the town, he saw that the sinister “resurrected” girl was grinning and running towards him, giggling as she ran.
“Ascendant! Ascendant!”
“If I eat the Ascendant, I can ascend to immortality!”
The girl seemed as if she had gone mad, laughing and jumping as she ran towards Li Muyang.
As she drew near Li Muyang, the girl’s body suddenly twisted grotesquely.
In just an instant, the girl dissolved into a pool of pus and vanished before Li Muyang’s eyes.
From within the woods, a peculiar stench wafted on the wind.
It was the smell of the girl turning into pus, and Li Muyang frowned and stepped back.
The girl had died along with the death of that sinister woman.
Yue Jiao was frightened by the horrifying scene in front of her.
“Li Muyang! Who exactly is this person? Why is she so terrifying?”
The formerly fearless Yue Jiao, who had faced the wandering immortals without a flinch, now felt fear.
Li Muyang was about to explain when he saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking out onto a mountain path not far away.
The two emaciated figures appeared under the morning sun, the tall one with a radiant smile, the short one with a somber face.
Dragging behind them was a weasel that had breathed its last, appearing before the still-living Li Muyang like dragging a dead dog.
“Dragon Lady…”
The smiling tall figure suddenly raised his hand and tossed the weasel’s corpse, which he had dragged all the way: “Your friend’s corpse.”
The short roaming spirit spoke in a cold voice, “This duplicitous weasel is your fate.”
The tall wandering spirit shook his head with a smile, “Finding the Lady was truly a challenge. When this yellow-skinned creature saw us, it even tried to cover for you… It seems the Lady is indeed a good person. In just two or three days, it has become utterly devoted to you.”
The short wandering spirit spoke coldly, “But you’re all going to die!”
But the tall wandering spirit seemed to sense something.
He sniffed the air and looked towards the pool of pus not far away.
Smelling that peculiar stench in the air, the tall wandering spirit exclaimed in surprise, “FoMu Temple?”
The short wandering spirit also abruptly turned to look at the pool of pus, then back at Li Muyang in front of him.
This cold and sinister short wandering spirit let out an icy sneer.
“You really know how to stir up trouble, having provoked the FoMu Temple…”
The tall wandering spirit said with a laugh, “Come be a mount for our master. Our master is not afraid of the FoMu Temple.”
The short wandering spirit said coldly, “Why waste so many words on her! Kill her! If we don’t kill her today, when the people from the FoMu Temple come looking for her, she’s going to die anyway!”
Both wandering spirits had actually sought her out and directly blocked Li Muyang’s path.
Facing the threat of the two wandering spirits, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.
“FoMu Temple…”
He looked at the pool of pus, then turned to the two wandering spirits in front of him and said, “Is FoMu Temple also beyond the frontier?”
The short wandering spirit snorted disdainfully, “A den of filth and corruption!”
The tall wandering spirit said with a smile, “Lady Dragon God, follow us beyond the frontier, and you will understand everything.”
With those words, the two wandering spirits vanished into the shadows.
They disappeared in an instant, vanishing from Li Muyang’s sight.
But their presence swept towards him overwhelmingly, intent on killing Li Muyang.
Clearly, after being instantly killed by heavenly lightning the last time, the two wandering spirits had come prepared.
Having sought her out again, they immediately changed their mode of attack, trying to avoid Li Muyang’s lightning.
But unfortunately, if lightning could be so easily dodged, it wouldn’t be lightning.
Li Muyang’s eyes narrowed, and he activated his skills.
Heavenly Lightning!
Boom!
Amidst the thunderous explosion, two golden bolts of lightning tore through the sky, precisely targeting the evil beings within the shadows…
