You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 334
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 02:17:15 +0000 UTCChapter 334: A Bit Too Much Firepower
When Lu Xuan entered the jade stone room, the others couldn't help but look down on him a bit, seeing that he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Among the seven, three were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, two were at the middle stage, and two came from prestigious backgrounds, so their combined strength was definitely not weaker than that of ordinary cultivators at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to Lu Xuan, whose origins and cultivation were unknown and whose level was the lowest.
However, during the process of competing for treasures, Lu Xuan was the first to deal with his opponents.
And he did so with the momentum of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, defeating the burly cultivator with the strongest physique among them all!
Although the remaining six people were aware that Lu Xuan relied on the power of high-level talismans, no one could guarantee that he didn't have other high-level talismans or other tricks up his sleeve.
So, during Lu Xuan's search of the bodies, even though the treasures were right in front of them, none of the cultivators were willing to risk competing with him.
Several people were still embroiled in chaotic battles.
Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu's strength was somewhat weaker. Although they possessed many secret techniques and powerful artifacts, they could only protect themselves and lacked the ability to snatch food from the mouths of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The two exchanged a glance. Shi Zhong held a dingy bronze mirror while Zhou Bingyu wielded sword qi, and they disappeared from the palace in an instant.
Opportunities in the secret realm were abundant, so there was no need to take such great risks.
The battle between the blood-robed cultivator and the refined scholar soon came to an end as well.
Countless blood insects, exuding a strong bloody aura, attacked the refined scholar from all directions.
The scholar felt his blood boiling all over, as if it could rush out from every pore at any moment.
Suddenly, several gray humanoid puppets emerged from the ground and attacked the refined scholar fearlessly.
With the help of the gray puppets, the refined scholar had no chance to escape, and the numerous blood insects rushed into his body.
In just a few breaths, all the blood in his body was devoured by the blood insects, leaving behind only an empty shell.
"I've left you with a complete body at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment," the blood-robed cultivator said with a sinister smile, addressing a short, hunchbacked cultivator nearby.
He collected all the blood insects into his robe, which became visibly darker, indicating that the blood insects were well nourished.
"It's just a matter of taking what you need. Without the help of my puppets, your insects wouldn't have absorbed the essence of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's flesh and blood so quickly."
The short cultivator moved his fingers slightly, and several gray humanoid puppets emerged from the ground, beams, and other places, guarding various escape routes.
"Indeed. Next, there's an old man at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but judging by his appearance, his flesh must have started to rot, so the taste shouldn't be great. I'll leave him to you."
"And that unidentified cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, I'll deal with him quickly and then come to help you."
The blood-robed cultivator looked at the hunchbacked old man and Lu Xuan with indifference, discussing as if the two were just ingredients providing blood essence in front of him.
"I didn't expect you two to be accomplices," the hunchbacked old man said, with a dark and thin baby ghost crawling on top of his head. The baby ghost, with its small hands, played with a Buddhist seal, its empty, dark eye sockets staring coldly at Lu Xuan and the others.
Lu Xuan remained silent, appearing like a small fry trembling under the gaze of a big shot.
"Yes, but unfortunately, friend, the many years you spent nurturing these baby ghosts will now be used to refine special puppets," the short cultivator said, his hands slightly moving. Dozens of gray humanoid puppets rushed toward the hunchbacked old man from various directions.
The old man's back swelled violently, and amidst the piercing cries of babies, over a dozen baby ghosts turned into green-black light one after another, slapping their gray-black palms on the puppets, leaving behind green-black palm prints.
The prints were shrouded in black qi, corroding the surface of the puppets' bodies. However, the puppets seemed unaffected and continued to rush towards the hunchbacked old man.
Lu Xuan suddenly saw a dense blood color in front of him, countless fierce blood insects flapping their faint wings and rushing towards him.
"These blood insects are the ones you raised?" Lu Xuan wielded his Wind Thunder Sword, and dark sword energy shot out, meeting the swarm of blood insects.
"Yes, you are about to become the nourishment for my spiritual insects." The blood-robed cultivator chuckled sinisterly, and countless blood insects surged out from within him.
"These are Blood Congealing Yin Insects, right? I killed quite a few on the island not long ago."
"There was even one particularly large one that I roasted with fire."
"It crackled and sizzled, and smelled so good."
Lu Xuan responded to the Blood Congealing Yin Insects while recalling the pleasant memory of roasting the Insect King with fire.
"It was you who killed one of my Insect Kings!" The blood-robed cultivator roared in anger.
He had released the Blood Congealing Yin Insects to parasitize on cultivators in the islands, intending to suck their blood, thinking that no one would notice the presence of the insects.
But he didn't expect that the insects he released would be wiped out, including a very precious Insect King!
"Dare to kill my Insect King, then you shall pay with your own blood!"
The blood-red robe spread out, and suddenly, a large amount of blood surged out like a bursting dam.
In just a few breaths, the jade stone room was filled with a sea of blood, with countless slender blood insects floating up and down, appearing intermittently.
"Oh no!"
The hunchbacked old man, who was struggling to deal with numerous puppets, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and let out a long roar. The more than a dozen baby ghosts beside him suddenly showed a fierce light and all returned to him, surrounding him. They bit at his neck, cheeks, and chest with their pale, sharp teeth.
In an instant, more than half of his blood was absorbed by the many baby ghosts.
All the baby ghosts looked radiant, with a green light enveloping them. They carried boundless resentment as they broke through the encirclement of puppets and disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xuan paid no attention to the hunchbacked old man's actions, remaining calm as he looked at the sea of blood, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"At this moment, it's just like back then."
"The blood insects wreak havoc, and the Flameburst Beads roast the demons!"
With that, nearly twenty fiery red stone beads fell into the sea of blood.
All the Flame
burst Beads in his hand were thrown out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
Imitating the sound of explosions in his mouth, one after another crimson waves of fire surged up, blood flying everywhere, mingled with the various sizes of blood insect corpses.
"Explosion is an art!"
Looking at the raging crimson flames in the sea of blood, Lu Xuan had a feeling of setting off firecrackers in a pond from his previous life.
Nearly twenty third-grade Flameburst Beads erupted with terrifying power, directly incinerating a large area of blood sea, and all the large and small blood insects inside were burned to black ash.
"Here you go, friend. I roasted your insects like this last time."
"But it seems like the firepower is a bit too much this time. I accidentally burned them to a crisp. Please forgive me."
A hint of apology appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
He looked at the blood-robed cultivator, who had turned into stone, and smiled.
The cultivator's robe, now devoid of its bloody color, draped over his body, giving off a sense of desolation and ruin.
"Since you're so sad, friend, then go down and accompany your spiritual insects."
A huge dark sword energy shot out from behind Lu Xuan, aiming at the cultivator.
