Chapter 69: Lord Lu Is Telling You a Joke. Why Aren’t You Laughing? Laugh.
...
“Flaying him is a good idea. But do not bla , Lu, for being cruel and ruthless. After all, this is the will of the people.”
“It would not be right for to go against it.”
As he spoke, lightning burst beneath Lu Zhan’s feet. In the next instant, he appeared directly in front of Bai Yufeng and pinned him firmly beneath his foot.
He did not give him the slightest chance to resist.
Lu Zhan leaned forward slightly, one elbow resting on his thigh as he looked down at him with cold indifference.
“Co, let tell you a joke. Today I ran into a gluttonous tiger, and in the end, it stuffed itself to death...”
“Hahahahaha!”
The mont he finished, Lu Zhan threw back his head and laughed loudly.
Liao Ming laughed along with him. Then he turned his head, his expression savage.
“Lord Lu is telling you a joke. Why aren’t you laughing? Huh? Laugh. Why aren’t you laughing anymore? Weren’t you fond of laughing just now?”
Then he said respectfully to Lu Zhan, “Lord Lu, look at him. He isn’t laughing. He is clearly looking down on you.”
At those words, Bai Yufeng’s face turned green.
The subordinate he had just wanted to recruit was actually this kind of creature.
Anger, hatred, regret...All kinds of emotions twisted together within him.
Yet when he saw Lu Zhan reach out a hand, he seed to realize what was about to happen.
His corpse-white pupils contracted violently, and a chill instantly spread through his entire body.
“Wait... ahhh!!!”
Rip!
An arm was torn off by brute force, and blood imdiately poured everywhere.
But the wound began healing at high speed.
“Oh, so you have that ability too?”
Seeing this, Lu Zhan did not grow angry. On the contrary, he beca even more excited.
He stuffed the severed arm straight into Bai Yufeng’s mouth. “Co on. Eat. Eat elegantly.”
“No! Don’t!!! I won’t eat! Bleugh!!!”
“Lord Lu, spare . I won’t dare do it again.”
“Wuu... wuu...”
The smile faded from Lu Zhan’s face, and his expression turned cold.
“Eat. Didn’t you like eating people? Why have you stopped?”
“Swallow it for !!!”
“Spare you... but did you ever spare them?”
...
Bloody. Brutal. Terrifying.
When Liao Ming saw this scene, there was not the slightest fear on his face. Instead, his face flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, and his expression turned excited.
Yes!
That was it. Lord Lu, flay him!!!
It did not take long before Bai Yufeng was almost unable to endure it any longer.
No!
If this continued, he would definitely die.
Suddenly, a dense surge of black qi erupted from his body, transforming in an instant into a streak of black light that fled into the distance.
Its speed far exceeded what he had shown when hunting living people just now.
This was the life-saving thod he had kept hidden as his final trump card.
The price of using it was too great, and under normal circumstances he would never resort to it unless forced.
But the tornt Lu Zhan had just inflicted on him...Pain!
It had been too painful!
If he did not flee, he was finished.
A deep, venomous hatred surfaced in his eyes.
“Lord Lu, this seat will rember you. The next ti this seat recovers its cultivation of the Malicious Specter Realm, I will flay you alive...”
Hearing that, Liao Ming shook his head.
Still refusing to repent, and he even dared to issue threats. There was no need to think. He was dead for certain tonight.
Lu Zhan’s gaze turned icy. He casually tossed the mutilated body in his hand to the ground.
He had not expected the creature to possess such a thod.
However...“You want to leave? I’m afraid there won’t be a next ti for you.”
[ Eyes of the Candle Dragon Effect 4: Eternal Night Gaze ] activated.
In the next instant, the black streak of light ahead of him slowed drastically.
At the sa ti, Lu Zhan slowly raised a hand.
[ Lesser Five Elents Treasure Body Effect 2: Can Sever All Things (tal) ] activated.
At once, countless streams of Geng tal Qi wove themselves into a [Heavenly Net]. But this ti, unlike before, a layer of bewitching red fla clung to the net.
Then his five fingers closed in empty space, and...he clenched lightly.
Slash!
A dull sound rang out as the Heavenly Net rapidly contracted.
The black streak of light that had shot into the sky suddenly froze in midair.
The specter qi around Bai Yufeng’s body twisted and compressed violently, and at last began to emit a sizzling sound, as though he had fallen into a cauldron of boiling oil.
“Urghhh!!!”
“What kind of fla is this? Why can it burn my soul?!”
His shrill screams under the blood-red sky were enough to make one’s skin crawl.
At that mont, the phrase “ghosts howling and wolves wailing” was no longer just a figure of speech.
“Spare... spare , Lord Lu, spare !”
Bai Yufeng completely broke down. His corpse-white eyes held nothing but boundless terror and pleading.
“I am willing to submit. I am willing to be your slave... Please, grant this lowly one one more chance.”
Lu Zhan rely watched his miserable howling with cold indifference.
Then his half-clenched fingers drew inward a little more.
Crack!
The struggling specter qi suddenly froze, and then a crisp sound rang out, like glass shattering.
Dense cracks spread across Bai Yufeng’s soul.
“No!!!”
He let out a howl of despair.
He had only just been reborn. He had not even had the chance to enjoy it. Why? Why did he have to die already?
Unwillingness, hatred, sorrow, indignation...All of those emotions tangled together in his heart at once.
In the end, they beca the howl of a vicious specter.
“Human, you are dead for certain. The General is about to awaken. He will avenge ...”
In the next instant, his soul completely collapsed.
There was no earth-shaking explosion, nor the expected spray of blood and flesh.
Liao Ming stared blankly at the scene before him.
A specter that had been so ferocious just monts ago, forcing him to kneel and submit, had now been erased before his eyes with absurd ease.
With nothing more than a light clench, both body and soul were annihilated. The whole process happened so quickly that it felt unbelievable.
So this was Lord Lu?!
Lu Qingtian, who stood guard over Peach Blossom Alley and made people tremble at the re ntion of his na?!
Leaning on his sword, Liao Ming stared with burning eyes, his heart surging with yearning.
“Liao Ming of the Feng Shui Association offers thanks to Lu Qingtian!!!”
The Feng Shui Association!
Lu Zhan had so impression of it. It seed to be made up mostly of people who handled funerals.
Most of them had so cultivation to support themselves, which made sense. In tis like these, who would dare work in such a trade without at least a bit of strength?
Once Liao Ming shouted that, the rest of the Li family finally snapped out of their shock.
“Many thanks to Lu Qingtian!”
“Many thanks to Lu Qingtian!”
...
Lu Zhan slowly lowered his hand as the cheers from Liao Ming and the Li family surged toward him in waves.
Reverence, respect, veneration, devotion...But Lu Zhan did not pay them much heed. Most of his attention was fixed on his own palm.
At so point, a strange mark had appeared there. It radiated a chilling aura and throbbed faintly like a living thing, deeply branded beneath the flesh and into the soul itself.
“This is... a soul mark!” Seeing it, Liao Ming’s expression turned ugly.
“You know what it does?”
Lu Zhan was a little surprised. Specters had only just appeared for the first ti, so where had he learned such a thing?
“I saw it once in an old book. It should be so kind of tracking mark. Getting rid of it is a bit troubleso... Don’t worry, my lord. Let think. What did the book say again...”Liao Ming tried hard to recall it. He had only stumbled across that book by chance.
It had been quite so ti ago.
He could no longer rember much of what was written inside.
Lu Zhan smiled lightly. He could erase this thing directly with Undying Soulfla.
After all, it was only a remnant soul mark. He had already beaten the owner until his soul scattered. There was no way this little thing could trouble him.
However...In the next instant, he froze where he stood.
Just now, through the soul mark, he seed to sense another aura.
That aura was ancient and deathly still, yet mixed with the violent fury of sothing being forcibly disturbed and on the verge of waking.
Oh?
It looked like he had found another good thing. The corners of Lu Zhan’s lips lifted slightly.
“If I go kill that General he ntioned, won’t the soul mark disperse on its own?”
“Ah... it would, in theory... but...”
“Good!”
“I’ll notify the Demon Extermination Bureau to co clean up afterward.”
With that, Lu Zhan shot straight into the sky.
Liao Ming was dumbfounded.
“Lord Lu, your soul mark hasn’t been removed yet. I think soul marks can be dealt with using Bitterblood Grass, Soul-Linked Flower—” Under the Blood Moon, an excited voice drifted back.
“No need. That’s too troubleso. I have a better solution...”
