I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 409: Chapter 297: Coming In and It’s Already Cranking Up the Difficulty? (Part 2)

Although those giant eyes devoid of human emotion disappeared extremely swiftly, it could still be noticed that they were watching Lu Xuan’s back.

Lu Xuan slowly crossed over the heavy threshold of the ancient bronze hall and stepped inside.

On both sides of the wide corridor, bronze statues of various forms greeted him, some humanoid and solemnly standing, others in beast form baring claws and fangs.

Under the dimly glowing crystal stones, there was an indescribable eeriness.

The bronze statues on both sides seemed to come alive in the shadows, those gilt beast eyes also flickering with sinister light in the dark.

"Interesting...."

Lu Xuan’s fingertip gathered a trace of the power of heaven and earth, gently brushing against the nearest humanoid bronze statue.

The rusted surface suddenly seeped out a dark red liquid, emitting a nauseating bloody odor.

More bizarrely, those blood-red liquids twisted into eerie characters in the air!

"Intruders, die!"

"Hmm?"

The next moment, Lu Xuan’s brow furrowed instantly, "Is this demonic spirit energy?"

"Moreover, this demonic spirit energy is so dense!"

As Lu Xuan’s gaze fell upon each bronze statue.

The bronze statues all had a thread of indistinct demonic spirit aura lingering around them, drifting like living things.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan’s steps halted, his gaze locked onto the bronze-covered floor beneath him.

Instantly, "Boom—" a loud noise, the entire corridor began to tremble violently.

The seemingly sturdy bronze floor seemed to be impacted by a formidable force from below, continuously bulging up.

As the bronze floor twisted, it emitted a sharp, piercing "creak," as if countless evil ghosts were roaring beneath the bronze floor.

"Demonic beast!"

Only to see the floor explode with a loud crash, a giant claw covered in bronze scales burst through the ground, its sharp claw tips leaving five deep furrows on the surface.

The scales on the giant claw emitted an eerie green light, the foul wind carrying a strong bloody smell, rushing towards him.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan appeared extremely calm, standing gracefully with hands behind his back, calmly facing forward.

It was a three-zhang tall bronze beast, rat-headed and bird-bodied, wings sprouted from its back, each scale glistening with a mesmerizing green light.

When it saw Lu Xuan, it suddenly opened its gaping bloody mouth, but what it spewed forth was not fire.

Instead, it was a sticky, tangible jet-black demonic spirit energy.

Yet, when the terrifying black aura was spewed out, Lu Xuan merely raised his right hand and lightly fanned it, as though encountering a blazing sun, the black aura dissipated completely in mid-air!

At this moment, the entire corridor suddenly came to life. Hundreds of bronze statues on both sides simultaneously opened their scarlet eyes.

The clashing of armor, the sound of claws scraping, the low growls of beasts intertwined into the sound of death.

Most terrifying of all, those humanoid bronze statues began to twist and deform, gradually revealing their half-human half-demon true forms...

"Hmm?"

"Right from the start, you hit me with intensity?"

"This world seems odd, seems to have already discovered my situation?"

Lu Xuan remained calm, standing with hands behind his back, the dark black brocade robe unmoved amid the demonic spirit energy.

The bronze army in front released an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Led by the three-zhang tall beast with its menacing scales, the External Gang Grandmaster Perfection level demonic power formed a substantial vortex, enveloping its body.

Behind it were seven bronze demonic beasts, each emitting a terrifying aura of an External Gang Grandmaster.

Behind these demonic beasts, there were over a hundred bronze humanoid figures, marching uniformly, their Inner Qi Realm aura connecting together, making the entire ancient hall buzz with resonance.

"Remarkable recognition for someone like Lu,"

This formidable lineup, Lu Xuan could guarantee.

Any person who entered the Spirit Ruins today facing such a scene would be doomed.

"Boom—"

The rat-headed bird-bodied bronze beast took the lead to attack, three pairs of wings covered in green suddenly spread open.

In an instant, the entire bronze corridor transformed into the Extreme Cold Hell, the visible demonic spirit energy congealed into countless ice crystals, emitting a chilling "ka ka" sound in the air.

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, watching as the air in front of him expelled turned into ice blocks, the bronze ground beneath his feet turned into a smooth ice surface.

Ahead, the bronze army had formed a killing array charging toward him.

The rat-headed demon beast’s wings suddenly flung out two streams of eerie green demonic spirit energy.

The seven bronze beast statues simultaneously opened their gaping mouths, swallowing toward Lu Xuan.

Over a hundred Inner Qi Realm bronze humanoid figures, then threw their hands, throwing the cold spears they held.

Too bad!

Lu Xuan’s lips curled slightly, letting out a chuckle, his eyes flowed with an incomparably mysterious purple light.

His slender index finger gently pointed towards the void, the moment the fingertip touched the air.

"Buzz...."

Only to see in the void ahead, an invisible spatial ripple gently spread out.

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.

In the air, those congealed ice crystals solidified into dazzling diamond dust, the surging demonic spirit energy transformed into a static black satin.

And the countless bronze spears quietly floating in the air.

The rat-headed bird-bodied demon beast’s ferocious attack posture, bronze beast statues waving their sharp claws, even the sonic reverberations in the air, all froze into a bizarre three-dimensional picture.

"Scatter."

With Lu Xuan’s soft voice, the stagnated ripples in the void expanded again.

Whether it’s the massive body of that demon beast or the bronze statues behind it.

They began to disintegrate slowly, not shattering but directly transforming into the most primitive dust and ashes.

This annihilation process was eerily quiet, without screams, without struggle, as if wiped out by an Immortal’s supreme strength.

When the last grain of flesh and blood dust of the rat-headed bird-bodied demon beast scattered, the hundreds of bronze statues behind it also simultaneously vanished, ultimately disappearing thoroughly between heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan calmly retracted his finger, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect within his body fell silent again.

Having slain this demon beast and those odd bronze statues behind it.

Lu Xuan had no hesitation in immediately examining the system panel in his mind.

He just wanted to verify whether in this world, killing the demon beasts.

Could still gain a large amount of system points like in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Twenty thousand system points?"

"Still acceptable!"

Though this point, for the current Lu Xuan, wasn’t much, it still confirmed Lu Xuan’s judgment.

In this world, killing these ghostly things could equally obtain system points.

At this time, the whole corridor suddenly trembled violently.

A thousand meters away, the bronze floor emitted eerie "gudong, gudong" sounds.

Under Lu Xuan’s gaze, a bronze altar carved with heavenly patterns broke through the ground, bringing up clouds of dust.

On top of the bronze altar was a ghostly green ancient saber, quietly floating there.

The blade was only three feet, yet it emitted a pressure that made one’s heart pound.

The green light flowing along the blade was not due to reflection but emanated from within like a menacing ghost flame.

More bizarre, at the hilt of the blade, were nine embedded demonic pupils slowly rotating, as if scrutinizing the present Lu Xuan.

"It’s a sacrificial artifact...."

"And such a strong power!"

Lu Xuan’s pupils slightly shrank.

His figure flickered, space shortening as if folded, in a moment he stood before the altar.

Suddenly, a chorus of wails from countless resentful souls echoed in his ear. That ancient saber was silently howling, densely packed anguished human faces appearing on its blade.

Lu Xuan suppressed his deepest desires, letting out a cold laugh, his terrifying Divine Sense instantly spread out, scanning every inch of the area.

He didn’t want to be tricked by anyone, caution is always good!
