Capítulo 1322: Chapter 1319: Demon Species Octopus!
Li Chen’s sense of vigilance did not go unnoticed by Shen ngxi.
She imdiately halted her steps, simply gazing at Li Chen.
The two of them continued to stare at each other across the distance.
After a period of deathly silence, Shen ngxi smiled gently and was the first to speak:
“I didn’t expect your strength to be so formidable. Even Chen Hu, who was at the late-stage Divinity Transformation, died by your hand!”
Li Chen rely smiled and did not reply directly.
Shen ngxi’s dimples appeared, and she said, “The Tower Master of Windcloud Tower, Xiong Ba, is known for protecting his own. Chen Hu was an elder in Windcloud Tower, a position not of little importance. Aren’t you afraid of inciting Windcloud Tower’s revenge for killing him?”
Li Chen shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face.
“With no one here, who would know it was who killed him?”
Upon hearing this, Shen ngxi’s expression changed abruptly, and she secretly prepared a magic spell.
If Li Chen intended to kill her to silence her, she would strike first, eliminate the threat, and take back that mysterious Spiritual Pearl.
Li Chen saw Shen ngxi’s tension, and with a calm smile, said: “Don’t be nervous, I don’t intend to kill you to silence you. The little Windcloud Tower is not worth my attention!”
“If they dare co looking for trouble, I don’t mind exterminating them entirely as well!”
Shen ngxi was suddenly taken aback by Li Chen’s “unashad boasts”.
Anyone who dared claim they could wipe out Windcloud Tower would surely be considered a madman.
But Shen ngxi stared at Li Chen for a long while, examining him from every angle, yet he did not seem like a madman.
Suddenly, she caught a very crucial word from Li Chen’s deanor.
That word was “also”!
This imdiately reminded her of soone.
“Are you Li Chen?”
Seeing that the other had recognized his identity, Li Chen made no effort to hide it.
“That’s right, I am Li Chen. Why, do you look surprised?”
Shen ngxi nodded and replied: “Anyone would be surprised to be in the presence of soone capable of destroying one of the nine great sacred sects!”
Li Chen looked at Shen ngxi and asked: “And after the surprise?”
Shen ngxi was taken aback by this, then shook her head and said: “Nothing more!”
“By the way, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Lu Feng, seems to be nearby. His cultivation is imasurably profound, far above the Sect Leader, Five Thunders True Monarch. You should be careful!”
Li Chen did not reply, rely shaking his head lightly, looking indifferent.
Seeing her good intentions dismissed by Li Chen, Shen ngxi’s face imdiately showed a trace of anger.
“What, you don’t believe what I’m saying?”
Li Chen shook his head and replied: “It’s not that, I believe everything you’re saying, every single word!”
Shen ngxi was surprised, suddenly widening her eyes, and asked: “Then why are you shaking your head, as if it does not concern you? You should know that Lu Feng is a formidable force on the Peak List, ranked thirteenth, not comparable to Chen Hu!”
Li Chen nodded and replied: “I know all about that, but he’s already a dead man now, and nobody worries about a dead man’s revenge!”
Shen ngxi was shocked: “Dead man?”
Li Chen nodded, affirming with certainty.
“Yes, a dead man!”
Shen ngxi pressed further: “You’re saying Lu Feng is already dead?”
Li Chen gazed into the distance, replying casually: “Yes, he’s dead, I killed him!”
He answered so lightly, as if killing a top-ranked powerful cultivator was as ordinary to him as eating and drinking.
Shen ngxi was greatly shocked, her clear and bright eyes full of incredulous ripples.
Just then, the previously deathly still lake suddenly stirred with a black wave.
Following this, a piercing screech echoed from within, the sound dark and terrifying, like a demon from the depths of the Nine Nether, causing one to shiver.
In an instant, a creature resembling an octopus with eight tentacles erged, its head surfacing from the black vortex.
Seeing this, Shen ngxi was startled and asked: “What kind of monster is this?”
Li Chen’s eyes narrowed suddenly as he answered gravely: “It’s a Demon Seed!”
“Demon Seed? A remnant Demon Seed left on the Greedy Wolf Star since Ancient Tis?”
Shen ngxi, though young, had a very good habit.
She loved to read!
Especially books on ancient legends.
And the term “Demon Seed” had appeared in those ancient legends.
It was said that after the Outer Realm Demons retreated, they left behind remnants on the Greedy Wolf Star.
Though most of these demon remnants were slaughtered to extinction,
one could never guarantee there weren’t any that slipped through the net!
Previously, that mysterious Spiritual Pearl was actually bait used by the Demon Species Octopus to lure Human Clan cultivators.
But now, there was no “fish” caught; instead, it lost its bait.
This infuriated the Demon Species Octopus!
Without hesitation, all eight of its tentacles surged, stirring up massive waves, roaring towards Li Chen and Shen ngxi.
Li Chen’s expression shifted with alarm, and he shouted urgently: “Be careful, this black water is toxic and highly corrosive, avoid direct contact!”
Taking Li Chen’s warning to heart, Shen ngxi didn’t hesitate; her figure retreated as swiftly as a teor streaking across the sky.
At the sa ti, she casually summoned a Magical Treasure resembling a golden-threaded robe to drape over her shoulders, forming a dazzling shield that enveloped her entirely.
Li Chen, on his part, operated the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell, encasing himself within to withstand the frenzied assault of the Demon Species Octopus.
The Demon Species Octopus, seeing its attack missed, beca especially furious.
Its eight Death Tentacles frantically slapped the lake’s still surface, transforming into thousands of arrows shooting relentlessly towards Li Chen and Shen ngxi.
Li Chen supported the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell with one hand, as if a dragon roared from it, pressing down heavily.
The Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell, being a Magical Treasure of extre yang and hardness, had a natural restraining effect on creatures like the Demon Species Octopus, which dwelled in the abyss for eons.
Consequently, upon re contact,
the Demon Species Octopus convulsed frantically, as if electrocuted, and retreated rapidly.
Seizing the mont, Li Chen summoned the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, swinging his arms in wide arcs.
Each slash seed as if a mountain goat gracefully hooked onto a point, naturally ford and formidable.
Moreover, his sword strikes were incredibly swift, as fast as lightning, as forceful as roaring thunder, unstoppable and relentless.
Interweaving lightning created a torrential storm-like offensive, suppressing the Demon Species Octopus fiercely.
Witnessing this scene, Shen ngxi was not to be outdone, quickly drawing out a Spirit Sword wreathed in celestial light, which slashed towards the Demon Species Octopus like a teor chasing the moon…
