Chapter 337: Not Worthy of a Move

Suddenly, Tai's body went limp, crashing heavily to the ground with a THUD. His eyes stared wide and empty, all life gone from him.

Lei Luo and Lei Ba paid Tai's death no mind.

Instead, it was Shen Daoxing who caught their attention. Lei Ba raised an eyebrow. "Oh? An expert at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Transformation realm."

According to the information Tai had provided, there was no expert at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Transformation realm in Chu Guifeng's party.

Then, the corner of Lei Ba's mouth curled into a smile. "And a master of the sword, no less!"

But Lei Ba and Lei Luo were also at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Transformation realm, experts who had reached the Realm of Perfection. Why would they be afraid? Especially since there were two of them.

Two against one, their chances of victory were high.

Lei Ba glanced down at the wound on Tai's corpse, then summoned a light, fiery-red longsword into his hand with a flick of his wrist.

"I wonder how your Sword Technique compares to my Overbearing Extreme Dao?"

Lei Ba looked up at Shen Daoxing, his expression mocking. He looked like a predator that had just found its favorite prey, eager to play a cruel game.

At his side, Lei Luo's mouth stretched into a sinister grin. "Hee hee hee, my little darlings, it's been a long time since you've drunk the blood of a Ninth-Layer Spirit Transformation expert."

As he spoke, he raised a hand and snapped his fingers.

A ripple spread through the air beside him.

Then,

A Three-tailed Demon Fox emanating a bizarre black qi.

A massive Four-Eyed Brown Bear.

And a Two-headed Refining Dog.

The three demon beasts appeared beside Lei Luo, their presence overwhelming. They bared their fangs at Shen Daoxing, and each one possessed a strength equivalent to the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Transformation realm.

Seeing this, however, Shen Daoxing simply shook his head. He had nothing but contempt for these two Evil Cultivators who took pleasure in robbery. 'Fighting them would only dirty my hands.'

"Hui, I'll leave these two to you. Tonight, you don't have to hold back."

Shen Daoxing gave the order to the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat, then casually waved his hand, turned, and walked away.

"SQUEAK!"

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat let out a sharp squeal, instantly growing excited.

"You punk, you…!"

Lei Ba was stunned. He felt deeply insulted by Shen Daoxing's dismissiveness.

Raising his Treasure Sword, he took a step forward, about to charge Shen Daoxing.

But a gray shadow flashed before his eyes, and the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat appeared in his path.

"Filthy animal, get lost!"

Lei Ba bellowed as Spiritual Power erupted from his body, engulfing his Treasure Sword in scorching flames.

CRACKLE!

Arcs of electricity danced along the blade.

Lei Ba raised his sword high and brought it crashing down on the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat. The scorching flames and crackling lightning descended with world-destroying power.

CLANG!

A metallic clang rang out.

Lei Ba's Treasure Sword struck the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat's head, but the flames flickered out and the lightning vanished in an instant. In a blink, it was all gone, leaving no trace.

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat shook its head and let out an angry SQUEAK. It bared its sharp teeth and, with another series of squeaks, pounced at Lei Ba.

"Oh?"

Lei Ba smirked. He knew he'd underestimated the little rat, but he still wasn't concerned.

With a flick of his palm, a golden wheel materialized in his hand.

The golden wheel spun rapidly, its light so dazzling it seemed to overflow with brilliant, iridescent splendor. A single glance was enough to know it was an extraordinary Magical Treasure.

Suddenly, the spinning wheel shot into the air, letting out a sharp whistle as it seemed to tear through space, heading straight for the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat.

However, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat simply opened its mouth and bit down on the golden wheel.

CRACK!

With a sharp crack,

A long crack appeared on the golden wheel, and then it suddenly shattered.

"Huh?"

Lei Ba was shocked.

But by then, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat was already upon him.

Lei Ba hastily threw a palm strike. A dense power gathered in his palm as profound red runes materialized across his entire arm, pulsing with seemingly unparalleled explosive force.

However, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat simply opened its mouth and took a small bite. Lei Ba's Vigorous Qi Shield shattered like paper on contact.

SQUELCH!

An arc of crimson blood sprayed high into the air.

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat had bitten off one of Lei Ba's hands.

"Aaargh!"

Lei Ba shrieked in pain.

Seeing this, Lei Luo realized things were going wrong. He waved his fingers frantically, commanding his beasts, "Quick, devour that rat!"

The Three-tailed Demon Fox, the Four-Eyed Evil Bear, and the Two-headed Refining Dog all pounced at once, opening their savage maws and charging murderously toward the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat.

SZZT!

At that moment, black arcs of light flared brilliantly, shooting toward the sky.

A rolling black fog billowed out from the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat, shrouding the area. Within the fog, only the flashing of black lightning could be seen.

When the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat appeared again, it had transformed into a behemoth hundreds of feet tall. A single, massive golden eye high in the air shone with a dazzling light, piercing the darkness.

The Three-tailed Demon Fox, the Four-Eyed Evil Bear, and the Two-headed Refining Dog slammed their now-minuscule bodies into the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat. It was like hitting a colossal mountain. They bounced off and were sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

At that moment, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat slowly lowered its massive head. The corners of its mouth pulled back into a ferocious grin.

The Three-tailed Demon Fox, the Four-Eyed Evil Bear, and the Two-headed Refining Dog froze. They suddenly sensed a terrifying aura. Without warning, they collapsed to the ground, prostrating themselves and trembling all over, as if in the presence of a supreme being.

Lei Luo, standing nearby, was stunned. He quickly yelled, "What are you three afraid of? It's just that rat's Blinding Technique! Attack, now!"

As he spoke, Lei Luo raised his hand and began to shake a small bell vigorously.

As the bell rang, the three demon beasts seemed to suffer some sort of punishment; their bodies and mouths twitched uncontrollably. But even so, they remained prostrate on the ground, not daring to move an inch.

"You… you useless animals!"

Lei Luo couldn't stop himself from cursing.

At that same moment, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat lowered its enormous head to face him, its massive golden eye shining brightly.

"You beast!"

Lei Luo froze.

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat opened its cavernous, blood-red maw, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Startled, Lei Luo quickly waved his hand. A large, golden bell flew out and fell with a THUD, covering him completely and protecting him within.

However, with a single CRUNCH, the golden bell offered no resistance whatsoever to the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat's savage jaws and instantly shattered.

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat swallowed Lei Luo whole.
