Chapter 346: Chapter 244: The Legacy of the Sword Sect - This Time I’m On Top_2
Still somewhat conscious, they followed the orders of a fool, chasing their teammates.
Nobody was managing the situation here.
Truly a series of blunders, bringing nothing but disgrace.
"A bunch of insects..." Bai Tao muttered again, tearing off a piece of her skirt to prevent it from hindering her movement. She picked up a long sword from a corpse’s hand and headed for the backyard with the sword in hand.
Although Bai Tao never said it out loud, she was actually quite proud of her identity as a member of the Demon Race.
Even during the Ten Kingdoms Chaos era, the Demon Race still clung to Primordial beliefs, lacking humor and kindness.
One must be ruthless with style, like a wolf pack, instead of being a bunch of insects scattering at the slightest explosion.
Today, Bai Tao decided to go to the backyard to see what exactly was wrong with their Demon Race.
Due to the explosion, the entire backyard had disappeared, leaving only a deep pit behind.
There were no caves or grottoes beneath the pit; rather, it was bowl-shaped, with a gigantic meat cocoon lying at the bottom.
The cocoon had a large opening from the explosion. Inside lay a mummified demon cultivator, whose face bore a strong resemblance to the bald-headed man who had previously tried to hit someone.
Probably his father or brother, or something like that.
Bai Tao picked up a stone from the side and threw it down, making a noise as it struck the demon’s shiny bald head.
After throwing five or six more stones and confirming that the person truly was motionless, Bai Tao slid down along the slope with her sword.
Upon careful examination beside the meat cocoon, she noticed something unusual: beneath the cocoon was an array, though it had been rendered blurry by the explosion, with some wooden board fragments scattered around. Looking inside the cocoon, several meat tubes were attached to the back of the bald demon.
It was some sort of Flesh and Blood Evil Technique to enhance cultivation.
Those boxes they had just moved...
Bai Tao stopped thinking about it and turned to leave the pit, seeking some distance before unleashing Sword Qi after Sword Qi to kill this bastard.
However, as soon as she turned around, the bald-headed monster suddenly opened his eyes, his throat bulged, and he spat out a Demon Pill. A force pulled Bai Tao toward the meat cocoon.
Amidst the pulling force, chaotic and unordered thoughts battered Bai Tao’s Divine Sense. She silently recited a Taoist Spell to regain some clarity and turned to stab with her sword.
Yet the skin of the bald demon, though tattered, was as hard as gold or stone, only sparking as the sword hit, flinging it away from her grip.
Seeing she was about to become prey for the evil demon, Bai Tao instinctively used her right hand to strike the source of the suction—the Demon Pill.
If you like to eat, then eat more.
The skin on her arm disintegrated under the pull of the Demon Pill, turning into blood that was consumed by it, along with the array suppressing the Gu Insect on her arm.
The array and the antidote were both essential for suppressing the Gu Insect. Once one layer of the seal disappeared, the Gu Insect immediately awoke, lunging at the Demon Pill.
The nefarious flesh and blood power of the Demon Pill was like a beacon in the night to the Gu Insect, most of which bore into the Demon Pill, while the remaining insects dropped onto the demon cultivator.
The impenetrable skin was quickly breached by the Gu Insects, black lines spreading rapidly inside the demon cultivator. After the Gu Insects drained him into a mummified husk, the meat cocoon also became their food. By the time Bai Tao escaped the pit, its bottom was filled with black Gu Insects...
The Demon Race Golden Core was dead.
Theoretically, this bald-headed flesh and blood monster’s death should have been more dramatic.
In the normal course of things, this bald monster would absorb enough flesh and blood, furthering his cultivation, and possess his brother, who was also the bald man and monster.
One Soul, Two Bodies.
But the bald man and monster were stabbed to death by Zhang Ze’s plan.
The Flesh and Blood Spell had a thunder set inside by Lily and coincidentally exploded.
The big boss, reduced to a sliver of blood and flesh, ended up eating a mouthful of insects for his undoing...
His death was somewhat rash, without even a parting line.
The voice of the Jade Book Tower spoke in Bai Tao’s ears.
[Reincarnator Number 107 has killed the final target]
[Would you like to exit the Illusion Realm?]
Without a moment’s thought, Bai Tao, looking at the pit filled with black Gu Insects, chose to exit.
Then, together with Tang, Chen Qin, Lily, and the others, they were kicked out.
Though they cleared the level, none seemed particularly happy.
Bai Tao, while having eliminated the final target, found herself unhappy upon realizing that her Demon Race may have been nothing more than a group of cowards, bullying the weak and fearing the strong in the past.
Tang had made all the preparations this time, and upon entry had performed to perfection, lacking only that final effort to complete a perfect clear, but before he could even enter, the first kill was snatched away.
He felt miserable.
Lily was also unhappy; she had been escaping so nicely, already seeing the rescue team led by Tang. She was just about to mix into the crowd, heading back with a false show of bravery.
Only to hear that the Illusion Realm had ended? Wasn’t all her suffering up till now in vain?
Just as she was about to enjoy some success, she was halted and was filled with regret.
As for Chen Qin...
She was so close to finally defeating her senior brother, such a pity...
Zhang Ze and Li were the only ones happy, as they had nearly been preyed upon.
In the white room.
Li sat on the ground, having no interest in checking out the summary from the Jade Book Tower, directly using the Seal Ring on his hand to teleport out of the Jade Book Tower.
As soon as he exited, he noticed Bai Tao, who also seemed somewhat unrestful, and covered his mouth, nodded slightly toward Bai Tao, and then sunk into the ground using an Escape Technique.
