Chapter 479: Chapter 246: Formless Demon Body, Another Perfect Corpse Nourishing Demon Body Gained [Second Update]
In the dense forest a hundred miles away from the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein, a breathless black shadow gradually takes form under the tree shade, transforming into a beast that walks slowly on the fallen leaves, while its divine sense remains focused on the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein.
At this moment, the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein is completely unrecognizable, with barely any Yin spiritual Qi left, and it continues to leak. Under the cleansing of the Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder, restoration within a hundred years is impossible; it may dissipate completely in just a few years.
The beast formed from the black shadow does not approach but uses its divine sense to keep a close eye on all situations of the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein. The Lu Family is pursuing the He Family, whose defeat is irreparable. Lu Shouren has been struck by their Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s exclusive Tier Three Soul Poison, rendering him immobile, but He Xiong Wu is nowhere to be found.
Moreover, within a thousand miles, no other Golden Core cultivators exist; He Xiong Wu and the top-grade Golden Core cultivator who successfully crossed the tribulation are missing.
Therefore.
Even though Lu Shouren is poisoned with the Soul Poison, he does not dare to rashly advance.
"Killing Lu Shouren is an achievement, but compared to the achievement of the successful tribulation-crossing top-grade Golden Core, the death of Lu Shouren is insignificant... but where exactly has He Xiong Wu gone?"
The beast formed from the black shadow murmurs to itself, concealing its aura to the extreme, and releases the aura of a monster to guard against everything around. He is not worried that He Xiong Wu would betray the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect because He Xiong Wu has long been implanted with a demonic seed, and every move is watched by the Dark Lord of the Hidden Demon Sect in the West Mountain Floating Domain, and if any treachery arises, the demonic seed will automatically explode, leading to his death and disappearance.
But he worries about that newly formed top-grade Golden Core cultivator. Although he has never witnessed the prowess of a top-grade Golden Core, he has seen the might of an upper-rank Golden Core master. An upper-rank Golden Core can already be invincible among the same realms, so the strength of a top-grade Golden Core is unimaginable, even if just newly formed, it could potentially threaten him.
Exposure is a small matter, but if entangled, and the Lu Family Golden Core comes for support, then it would be greatly troublesome.
"What’s going on, no activity even in transmissions." The black shadow beast probes into the storage bag within with its divine sense, inspecting the Communication Stone, yet there’s been no response transmission from He Xiong Wu.
"Could it be that he’s being pursued by the Lu Family’s cultivator who has formed a top-grade Golden Core?" The black shadow beast secretly guesses, its gaze fixated on Lu Shouren, "Looks like I need to grab someone first and ask some questions."
Lu Shouren, suppressed by the Soul Poison, becomes the best target.
Having made the decision, the black shadow beast once again transforms into a shadow, traversing through the dense forest towards the nearest Lu Shouren. To him, a Golden Core early stage, suppressed by Soul Poison, poses no threat.
The next moment.
The black shadow swiftly approaches Lu Shouren, and just when the distance closes to a hundred yards, Lu Shouren suddenly shudders, the smile on his face due to Li Bai halts abruptly, replaced by a sharp sense of crisis.
"Who’s there?"
As the words fall.
Lu Shouren was just about to activate the Tier Three Protective Talisman when the black shadow was already at his feet, a poison spike pointed at Lu Shouren’s chest, "Master Wu Jian, why don’t you try whether your speed to activate the Protective Talisman is faster or my Tier Three Demon Artifact is sharper... However, I must remind you, if you make the wrong choice, it could lead to death."
Lu Shouren, sensing the intense crisis from the black shadow, dared not act rashly. Just by confronting face to face, he knows the person before him is anything but simple, even though standing right in front, he cannot feel the person’s true aura, as if the person before him was a mass of impersonal yet ordinary smoke.
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Shouren hastily asked.
The black shadow coldly asked, "He Xiong Wu, and the newly advanced Golden Core master of your Lu Family with top-grade Golden Core, where are they?"
"I have sent a message to the Lu Family, if you kill me, the Soul Mark in my body cannot be removed no matter how strong you are, and the Lu Family ancestor is already on the way." Lu Shouren responded coldly.
The black shadow sneered coldly, "Master Wu Jian, you, a mere Lu Family member, are underestimating our Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect?"
As the words drop, the black shadow once again reveals another Tier Three Soul Poison in his hand, but this is not Tier Three Lower Grade, it is Tier Three Middle Grade. Lu Shouren sees this and is greatly alarmed, just about to struggle, but feels his soul within start frantic turbulence as if a flock of lamb sees a wolf, madly restless and uneasy.
The previously suppressed Soul Poison instantly pierces through his magical power, rushing to his soul, flowing into his meridians, forcing Lu Shouren to disregard anything, only able to exert full magical power to suppress.
"What I hold is the mother poison of Soul Poison, which specializes in feeding on the child poison, so when the child poison encounters the mother poison it will fear, triggering all potential within, becoming harder to suppress.
If the mother poison does not enter the body to swallow the child poison, within an hour, your soul will be completely corroded, thereby losing your sanity, at my mercy. Master Wu Jian, I wonder if your Lu Family ancestor can arrive within an hour?"
The black shadow coldly delivers the threat to Lu Shouren while spreading his divine sense over a thousand miles around to vigilantly watch for any movement.
Lu Shouren’s complexion slightly changes, quickly speaking, "I truly don’t know, after the tribulation crossing the first moment he has already used the escape technique to leave, most likely he went to chase after He Xiong Wu, because He Xiong Wu has repeatedly disturbed during his tribulation. Fellow Daoist, if you want to find him, you have to first find He Xiong Wu."
"In other words, you are completely useless?" the black shadow coldly questioned again, his eyes gradually birthed a fierce killing intent ready to act the next moment, "Master Wu Jian, think clearly, I do not keep useless people."
