Chapter 275: Chapter 168: Ruijia’s Crisis of Nation Destruction (2)
The moment he saw the Demon, knowledge from his Demonology studies instantly flooded Lu Cang’s mind.
The back of its neck was its most vulnerable point.
SWOOSH!
Almost as soon as Lu Cang landed on its head, it had already raised its arms to clap them together.
It intended to swat Lu Cang like a mosquito!
Lu Cang stomped down with explosive force!
「Demon Quenching Technique—Second Form: Demon-Piercing Sky Kick」
BOOM!
A vicious stomp!
He slammed its body into the ground! The Power Burst was so immense it actually sent fine cracks through its skull!
And at that same moment!
Lu Cang thrust his War Spear down fiercely!
「Penetrating Thunder Burst (Tier Four) · Holy War Light Stream—Second Form: Celestial Punishment Piercing Light」
BOOM! Thunder and Light coiled around the War Spear!
Thunder and light erupted as the War Spear pierced straight through the back of its neck, shattering its spine!
Immediately after, Lu Cang twisted the War Spear a full circle inside its body!
The War Spear’s Element abruptly changed. 「Ice Condensation Bone Penetration (Tier Four) · Battle Staff Stream—Second Form: Shattered Round Dance」
SWISH!
Swinging the War Spear, he ripped the creature’s entire head from its frozen body!
CLANG!
He smashed the head on the ground, sending shards of Ice flying everywhere!
After the kill, Lu Cang immediately extracted its soul!
WHOOSH!
In a flash of light, he was instantly before the next Demon—a three-headed serpent.
Multi-headed, serpentine, two smaller heads and one larger head. The large one had a Poison Sac.
’Three heads on one body. It might have a Regeneration Ability. I probably need to cut off all three heads at once to kill it.’
’Cutting off three heads at once is too much trouble...’
One of the smaller heads spewed blue fire, while the other spat out a razor-sharp gale!
Lu Cang’s Final Sense twitched, and he shot into the air to dodge!
Immediately after, a huge chunk of Ice, encasing a silver Dagger, shot toward the snake’s heads!
Mid-flight, the Ice melted away!
It left only a sharp Dagger speeding toward the centermost head.
CLINK!
However, the Dagger just struck the top of its head.
It only managed to slightly shake its soul, but not knock it out...
’Tch...’
The instant the Dagger was deflected by its hard scales, Lu Cang grabbed it.
’So a lighter attack can’t shake the soul loose?’
Positioned under the snake’s jaw, Lu Cang reverse-gripped the Dagger and struck upwards violently!
「Invincible Stream—Fifth Form: Heaven-Ascending Slash」
BOOM!
Lu Cang wielded the Dagger like a Giant Sword!
’It’s mainly because out of all the Combat Skills I’ve learned, Chi Cheng’s Invincible Stream has the greatest Power.’
’Its Power far surpasses any other Combat Skill.’
The single strike blasted the Giant Snake’s head upward, and its soul flew right out.
’That was really tough...’
The Giant Snake’s scales were terrifyingly hard. After all, it was a Tier Six King Level Demon.
Until now, all of Lu Cang’s battles with Tier Six King Level Demons had been won by attacking their weakest points.
If he really had to clash head-on and cut through such a huge snake head.
He could have killed it, but it would have been far too troublesome.
With the soul knocked out, Lu Cang snatched it with one hand.
In less than ten seconds, he had eliminated two King Level Demons in a row.
He then encountered the third Demon: a plant creature with a petal face that walked on its roots.
To its left and right appeared the faceless muscle monster and the three-headed Giant Snake.
And Lu Cang himself charged from the front!
’A living plant, a brain-type Demon. I need to find the core brain stem that controls its entire body...’
SPLAT!
Stomp the head, crack the skull, pull the stem.
A flawless, one-shot kill.
’As expected... with my knowledge of Demonology, I feel like I can take these Demons apart with perfect precision. It’s so much easier now.’
’I also have a general idea of the value of each part of the Demon.’
In just over a minute.
The ground was littered with Demon corpses. Lu Cang had already finished off thirteen King Level Demons.
The main issue was that the Demon tide came from all directions, so the Demons that formed were scattered all over.
Killing one in the east, then one in the west, wasted a lot of time.
Unfortunately, a Demon tide was not a Dungeon, after all.
Even a tide this dense had only managed to form thirteen Tier Six King Level Demons.
The thirteen Tier Six King Level Demons became Lu Cang’s Undead, standing guard loyally by his side.
Kumironi watched as these Undead were formed.
A question couldn’t help but form in their mind: ’Where are the troublesome restrictions on this ability?’
’I’m not seeing any limits at all, am I?’
But even with this question, they weren’t particularly surprised anymore.
This was also why Lu Cang had given a small demonstration of this ability at the beginning.
From a psychological perspective, an adaptation period makes things easier for people to accept. After all, this ability was incredibly difficult to hide. Was he supposed to never use it just because someone else might see him?
Since he was bound to use it eventually, it was better to let people get used to it early on, to see it as something normal.
"Oh..."
"Not bad. That’s a really interesting ability."
Iz, on the other hand, accepted it quickly.
In fact, Iz was the type of person who never seemed shocked or surprised by anything he saw.
Instead, things just made him feel amazed, curious, and intrigued, after which he seemed to fall into thought.
"Oh... it’s appeared."
In the sky, the centipede-like Source of Calamity writhed, and finally, a deep black portal formed and solidified...
A Tier Six Dungeon had actually appeared.
’It seems the Source of Calamity can only form a Tier Six Dungeon during a Tier Six Demon tide.’
"But are we going to explore it with just the three of us?"
"It’s still the month of Death. Should we call Chi Cheng and the others over to join us?" Lu Cang asked.
Even after a Dungeon forms, it takes a long time before it becomes a threat to the world.
There was more than enough time to call Chi Cheng and the others over.
Iz pretended to think for a moment. "Hmm, theoretically, we should indeed proceed with caution."
He then broke into a confident smile. "But, I really can’t wait. If it’s only Tier Six Demons, I should be invincible."
