Chapter 71: Spirit-Gathering ditation Cushion
...
Lu Zhan’s face darkened.
“What kind of demon are you?!!”
He was a perfectly ordinary human being, yet this specter was calling him a demon?!
Good, very good!
So it was going to turn black into white, was it?!!!
“You damned specter, listen well. I am Lu Zhan, the Jurisdiction Head of the Demon Extermination Bureau. My job is to clean up specters like you.”
Lightning flickered beneath his feet.
In the next instant, he appeared directly in front of the Specter General and brought his saber down with brutal force.
Clang!
The Longevity Saber struck the opponent’s hand and gave off the ring of tal crashing against tal.
Lu Zhan’s gaze dropped to the other party’s arm, and only then did he notice that the Specter General was wearing a layer of golden silk gloves.
Seeing the surprise in Lu Zhan’s eyes, the Specter General curled his lips into a smile.
“Human, how did you find ?”
The whole thing was simply too bizarre. He had only just awakened, yet a Jurisdiction Head had already co knocking at his door.
He was practically starting to suspect that soone had been camping at the very place of his resurrection.
But on second thought, that made no sense.
How could a Jurisdiction Head possibly spend an entire day doing nothing but squatting beside a corpse?
“Smile, smile, smile. Smile at your mother, damn it. Have you even looked at what kind of freakish specter face you have? You’re ugly as hell!”
One refused to laugh even when hearing a joke, while the other grinned at every little thing. They were both seriously sick in the head.
And having a several-hundred-year-old corpse smiling at you...Ugh. That was revolting!
As he spoke, Lu Zhan whipped out a sweeping kick. The Specter General was sent flying at once and smashed into the wall of the ancient tomb.
A mouthful of black blood gushed out.
“Weren’t you going to co after for revenge? To save trouble, I ca to find you myself.”
“What, are you unhappy again?”
As he spoke, dense waves of Saber Energy shot out one after another, blanketing the direction in which the Specter General had been flung with indiscriminate attacks.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
After a full round of strikes, that entire patch of ground was smoking.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew through the dust.
“Roar! Bullshit! When did I ever say I was going to take revenge on you?”
A furious roar shattered all the Saber Energy. As the smoke dispersed, the already shriveled Specter General looked even more withered than before.
He had only just awakened. How could he possibly have made an enemy of this man?
Wait. No, that was not right. The mark on this brat’s hand... that belonged to his lieutenant, Bai Yufeng?!
In that instant, he seed to understand what had happened.
But his very first thought was— “Traitor!!!”
If his subordinate had provoked an enemy and could not beat him, then naturally he would call for reinforcents.
Fine. He could back him up.
But the premise was that his subordinate could not go and provoke soone even he himself could not defeat.
Calling him in at a ti like this was not asking him to help. It was asking him to die.
After all the kindness he had shown that man in the past, it turned out he had been nothing but an ungrateful bastard.
“Human, since you are the Jurisdiction Head here, why don’t you make a deal with —”
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear it! You don’t deserve to speak!”
In the next mont, the bewitching red glow on the Longevity Saber vanished, replaced by a layer of golden light.
[ Lesser Five Elents Treasure Body — Effect 2: Can Sever All Things (tal) ]
Lu Zhan charged forward and unleashed a furious storm of slashes at the Specter General.
He was not hacking blindly, either. The mont he opened the Eyes of the Candle Dragon, every weakness on the Specter General’s body was laid bare before him, and every attack trajectory beca crystal clear.
The Specter General could feel that although his realm far surpassed Lu Zhan’s, he had nowhere to apply that advantage.
He was being completely suppressed and beaten down by Lu Zhan.
Stifling!
It was unbearably stifling!
“Human... why reject in such haste? At least listen to the terms of the deal first.”
“It’s very simple. As long as you hand those five tomb raiders over to , then the matter of you killing my subordinate will be written off entirely. I will also leave your territory at once. What do you think?”
“They are only five criminals, after all.”
“You need not feel guilty. Just as humans eat livestock when they are hungry, when specters are hungry—”
Lu Zhan’s response was direct. His saber grew fiercer, crueler, and more domineering.
“What the hell are you rambling about? When humans are hungry, they eat. When specters are hungry, they can die!!!”
As he spoke, Lu Zhan gripped the saber with both hands, constantly gathering the Power of Geng tal into himself.
“Sever!!!”
Then he brought the saber down in one savage stroke.
Crack!
The golden silk glove on the Specter General’s hand shattered on the spot.
Shock filled his face.
Run!
But he had no ti to retreat. Lu Zhan twisted sideways and drove a back kick into him, sending the Specter General flying once more.
The Longevity Saber followed right after him. With a wet thud, it punched straight through his chest.
“Why?”
“Human, I made such a small request, and you still would not agree? Must you really fight to the death with ?”
The Specter General could not understand it. Lu Zhan had slain his beloved general, yet he had not sought revenge.
He had only casually asked for the lives of a few irrelevant people, and in doing so he had already shown Lu Zhan ample courtesy.
Why?
Why did it have to end with one of them dead?
This was truly going too far!
Lu Zhan said nothing. He strode up and crushed the Specter General’s skull beneath one kick.
“Do not worry. The only one dying is you.”
At the very instant Lu Zhan was about to crush his head, the Specter General turned into a wisp of black smoke and floated into the air.
“Good, very good, arrogant human. You have successfully enraged . Since that is the case, then today I shall see who laughs last!”
This was one of the specters’ thods, and it made them exceedingly troubleso.
Once they could no longer win, they could abandon the flesh and appear in the world as pure souls.
But...
“I’ve been waiting for this!”
After fighting Bai Yufeng, Lu Zhan had already understood how to deal with specter beings.
That was why he had been waiting all along for the Specter General to abandon his body.
What left him rather speechless was that the Specter General’s body had nearly been beaten to pieces, yet he still could not bear to give it up.
Compared to Bai Yufeng’s decisiveness, this general was far inferior.
As he spoke, Lu Zhan reached out and clenched his hand in the air. The Longevity Saber flew back into his grasp.
The golden light faded from his hand, revealing the Longevity Saber’s original appearance.
Only this ti, a thread of red fla burned along its edge.
[ Eyes of the Candle Dragon — Effect 6: Undying Soulfla ]
This is a fla from the Other Shore. It can transform spiritual power into soul damage. It deals 10%–30% damage to souls that have lost their bodies. The more spiritual power it consus, the higher the soul damage.
In the next instant, Lu Zhan flew straight in front of the Specter General and slashed out wave after wave of Saber Energy, covering a huge area.
“As for why I have to kill you?”
“It’s very simple. So people are born in Ro, and so are born to toil like beasts. As for you... no, all of you were born guilty of a capital cri!”
Lu Zhan raised one hand, his expression cold, while a red fla danced in his palm.
“And choosing to be born in my territory only adds another charge to your sentence!”
As he spoke, countless tongues of soulfla roared to life.
A scream!
A shrill, agonized scream rang through the entire burial chamber.
“Fla of the Other Shore!!? Why do you possess the Fla of the Other Shore!!!”
“Who are you?!”
“Who exactly are you—” The voice cut off abruptly, and the soul completely collapsed.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have slain a specter of the seventh level of the Malicious Specter Realm across realms. Reward: 8000 Slaughter Points. Congratulations, Host. You have also received an additional 20 Divine Origin Pills, 5 Soul-Tempering Pills, 10 Talent Fragnts, and 1 Spirit-Gathering ditation Cushion. ]
The Specter General’s wailing had been irritating, but the things he dropped were truly a delight to behold.
“What is a Spirit-Gathering ditation Cushion?”
[ Spirit-Gathering ditation Cushion: woven by ancient cultivators from spiritual marsh cattail and soaked in ten-thousand-year spirit marrow. ]
[ Effect 1: It can draw in the ambient spiritual energy within a ten-li radius, creating a high-density spiritual field and increasing cultivation speed by 70%.]
[Effect 2: It can filter impurities from the ambient spiritual energy, refine its quality, and increase the purity and condensation of the absorbed spiritual energy by over 30%. ]
[ Effect 3: It can reduce the chance of inner demons arising by 20%. If inner demons do arise, it grants a 10% resistance rate against them. ]
“Wow, another great item dropped. Effect 1 and Effect 2 are excellent. As for Effect 3...”
Was that not completely unnecessary?
Inner demons?!
He had always acted with a clear conscience. Where would inner demons even co from?
And if he really did have inner demons...Hmph. He would not mind letting them know who the master was!
Afterward, Lu Zhan called the Demon Extermination Bureau and had the five tomb raiders sent off to prison for reform.
When he left, Zhao Kui thanked him over and over again.
That made the eyes of the Demon Extermination Bureau people who had rushed over turn rather strange when they looked at Lu Zhan.
