Chapter 270: Chapter 270 - Golden Revelation
The spiritual fire embodies pure yang energy, serving as the natural enemy of parasites!
Every parasite insect stayed far from the spiritual fire, too frightened to approach!
I flicked my finger, sending another wisp of spiritual fire onto Conrad Schroeder’s body.
Instantly, crackling sounds like frying beans erupted across Conrad’s form.
Conrad scrambled to his feet quickly, shooting a terrified look at his own body while cold sweat poured down.
These parasites were genuinely horrifying!
No wonder people hesitated to venture deep into the southwest, let alone enter Earth Fiend Valley!
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond," Conrad said, clasping his hands gratefully.
I stayed silent, coldly surveying our surroundings.
Though the parasites didn’t dare approach closer, they hadn’t retreated either.
They encircled Conrad and me, blocking our path forward.
"Spiritual fire?" The old man’s voice echoed from the darkness once more.
"Blue Spirit Fire, no less?" Greed seemed to tint his tone.
Clearly, even within Earth Fiend Valley, Blue Spirit Fire remained highly coveted!
I said nothing, raising my palm and hurling a ball of spiritual fire straight ahead.
Instantly, countless parasites became corpses beneath the spiritual fire’s flames.
The old man in the shadows scolded coldly, "Spiritual fire drains heavily, and I doubt you can maintain it much longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the parasite numbers around us doubled!
"Rise!"
The old man roared furiously from the darkness!
Countless parasites soared into the sky.
Their sheer quantity darkened the heavens and plunged the canyon into complete blackness!
These dark energy-infused parasites actually formed a massive human shape in the air!
The pitch-black giant stood at least three stories high!
The overwhelming dark energy made cold sweat break out across both my body and Conrad’s!
"Hahaha! Let’s see how long your spiritual fire endures!" The old man laughed coldly.
I remained quiet. With spiritual fire in hand, I stepped forward, advancing directly toward the giant!
"Ssshh!"
My fist, wrapped in spiritual fire, cut through the parasites like a blade!
This strike killed at least several thousand parasites!
But to my shock, more parasites filled the ranks immediately!
"Hm?" My eyebrows furrowed.
Exactly how many parasites existed in Earth Fiend Valley?
"Hehe, I’m quite curious to see how long you can maintain this," the old man said coldly.
"What a shame, I lack the time to wait and watch, so you might as well just perish!"
With a roar, the old man drove the giant forward, actively pressing toward me!
I quickly wrapped my body in spiritual fire, gripping my Golden Fist and directly confronting the giant!
"Ssshh!"
Another wave of parasites was shredded! However, my body also took a powerful blow!
The terrifying poisonous gas within these parasites made my vision darken!
"If this continues, my spiritual power will truly be exhausted," I thought.
Fighting a war of attrition in a place swarming with countless parasites was definitely unwise.
"You Earth Fiend Valley people certainly enjoy playing this attrition game," I scoffed.
Helen Martin had done the same, and now deep within Earth Fiend Valley, I encountered this situation again.
"Hahaha! So what?" The old man’s voice came from every direction.
My lips curved into a cold smile as the blue flames on my body slowly dimmed, eventually dying out completely.
"What, surrendering?" The old man sneered. "Then come and become food for my parasites!"
After a furious roar, the giant charged at me once more!
A massive hand swept through the air, seemingly ready to crush the entire canyon!
"Die!" the old man screamed madly!
The giant hand slammed down hard!
The ground immediately sank!
Dust whirled around, blocking vision, and countless rocks tumbled down, as if a massive collision had occurred.
The old man’s figure finally emerged.
He stood on a high point in the canyon, gazing coldly at the collapsing area.
"Pathetic creature," the old man said coldly.
Just as he turned to leave, a streak of golden light suddenly pierced through the dust and darkness, illuminating the entire canyon!
"Splash!"
This sword thrust directly at the giant! The fierce sword energy actually cleaved the giant in half!
The old man’s face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "How is this possible!"
I leaped out from the rubble.
In my hand, I held a long sword glowing with golden light.
This sword was none other than the bronze sword I had acquired at the auction!
The pure qi contained within the bronze sword perfectly countered Earth Fiend Valley’s dark energy!
"Did you really believe I had no method to deal with you?" I sneered.
The old man’s face darkened. Once more, he muttered incantations and activated a spell to reassemble the giant.
However, before the giant could reassemble, I slashed my sword through the air and beheaded it!
"If you reassemble it once, I’ll slash it once; if you reassemble it ten times, I’ll slash it ten times!" My cold voice sent chills down one’s spine!
The old man panicked and retreated, stammering, "No... don’t... I’ll take you to Earth Fiend Valley now, just don’t kill me!"
In a blink of an eye, I appeared before the old man.
I gripped the bronze sword tightly and swung it fiercely.
"Swish!"
With this sword strike, the old man was severed in half at the waist!
"Ahh!!!"
In unimaginable agony, the old man nearly lost consciousness!
I stretched out my palm and a stream of qi enveloped the old man’s wound.
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I still need you to guide me..." I smirked.
——
Earth Fiend Valley, dungeon.
The dungeon was split into two sections, one for holding the captured girls, and the other for confining a group of martial artists.
The girls were used to extract dark energy, while the martial artists would be transformed into puppets.
At this moment, Watson Thompson sat in despair in the dungeon.
She looked up at the tiny bit of light above her head, and her eyes couldn’t help but moisten.
"Dad, I miss you... I shouldn’t have been so stubborn..." At this moment, Watson suddenly remembered her rebellious days.
"If I can escape, I will definitely obey you..." Watson felt increasingly sorrowful, and tears streamed down her face.
Little Diane, sitting beside her, was even more desperate and had fainted several times.
"Mason Raymond, when will you come to rescue me..." Watson’s mind was filled with images of Mason.
But so much time had passed, and Mason still hadn’t appeared.
Perhaps they were truly going to die here.
At that moment, the dungeon door opened.
Two old men in black robes walked in.
Fear flashed across many girls’ eyes; they huddled in the corners, afraid of being noticed by the two old men.
The two old men scanned the room, and their gazes finally settled on Watson and Diane.
