116: Chapter 116 Confrontation with Lu Yuanze

That mass of things couldn't be called a complete human figure.

It was crimson all over, without a trace of skin, exposing the well-defined dark red muscles and thick bluish-black blood vessels beneath.

The surface of the powerful muscles was covered with a layer of wet, eerie glowing mucus.

Like a fetus just stripped from the womb, yet full of power, the sense of contrast was extremely strong.

Its head hung low, its features blurred, with only two dark holes and a slit marking the positions of the eyes and mouth.

Deep within the bottomless holes, two pinpoints of needle-like scarlet light flickered slowly.

Although his appearance had changed greatly, Xu Changsheng recognized this person's aura at a glance.

It was indeed Lu Yuanze.

Only at this moment, he didn't seem to have recovered from the Blazing Sun Binding Formation attack he suffered at Donglin Fortress.

The Spiritual Pressure on his body barely reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing that Xu Changsheng made no move.

Lu Yuanze raised his head, his slit-like lips moving slightly.

Feeling unhappy, he let out a raspy voice: "Why are you still wearing night-traveling clothes? Didn't your Junior Martial Uncle give you instructions when he let you in?"

No response.

Thinking the person was scared witless, Lu Yuanze chuckled sinisterly: "Don't worry, I strike very hard, I guarantee you won't suffer too much torture."

Hearing this, combined with the eerie environment nearby.

Xu Changsheng understood why the Ghost Shadow Sect regularly sent Disciples behind the bronze gate every month.

When this piece of intelligence first appeared, he had been somewhat confused; Lu Yuanze didn't look like a model teacher at all.

He chuckled: "So that's how it is."

Hearing these nonsensical words, Lu Yuanze's mood became even more unpleasant: "You're about to die, aren't you considering begging for mercy or running away?"

A cruel smile appeared on his bloody face.

He loved torturing people the most.

The astonished expression when hope is finally shattered.

The despairing expressions of fear, dread, and painful distortion.

These were all his favorites.

Only in this way could he free himself from his past humiliations.

"Donglin Fortress, Zhou Family, Xu Changsheng, I will be back!"

His thoughts had already flown thousands of miles away to the Ancient Wood Mountain Range.

Suddenly, he was interrupted by the person in front of him.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu's strength were as tough as your mouth, you wouldn't have had your skin stripped off."

Hearing this.

Lu Yuanze's heart jolted.

The memory of being defeated by a junior and forced to use the Blood Shadow Skin-Shedding Technique was vivid in his mind.

"What? What did you say! Say it again if you dare!"

Flames of anger surged in his heart.

Xu Changsheng pulled back his black hood: "I said, Fellow Daoist Lu's skin is not bad, suitable for making leather boots. I've tried it."

His tone was filled with unbridled arrogance.

The candle-like flames in Lu Yuanze's eye sockets flickered violently.

"I've changed my mind. I must tear your skin off alive, roll it into a ball, and stuff it into your foul, unrestrained mouth!"

He could no longer suppress it.

Raising his hand, the surrounding blood pool suddenly boiled.

Blood water flew up, condensing into a blood arrow beside Lu Yuanze.

It shot towards Xu Changsheng with lightning speed.

So fast that it dragged a blood-red mark through the Void Realm.

However.

Things did not go as he wished.

He saw the black-clothed man opposite him emit a golden light all over his body.

Raising his right hand, he slapped down hard.

"Pshhh."

The blood arrow, which seemed to possess overwhelming demonic power, was casually slapped away.

"How is that possible!"

Lu Yuanze cried out, the fire in his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu plans to finish me off this easily, you are gravely mistaken."

Only then.

Lu Yuanze vaguely sensed that the voice of the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, realizing the newcomer's identity was not simple, and his cultivation was definitely beyond Qi Refining.

No longer calm, he roared in shock: "Who on earth are you!"

Condensing a powerful Divine Sense, he pressed it toward Xu Changsheng.

The latter remained unmoved, but the first-grade night-traveling clothes could not resist this powerful Divine Sense and were finally penetrated.

A silhouette he hated intensely emerged in his mind.

Gritting his teeth: "It's you!"

He saw a gray light flow over the person in front of him, the night-traveling clothes vanished, replaced by an ordinary-looking man in green robes.

Xu Changsheng revealed his true appearance and grinned: "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Lu. I hope you've been well."

"Crack!"

The sound of teeth shattering came from the blood pool.

Lu Yuanze's voice, filled with overwhelming hatred, rang out: "It's you, Xu Changsheng!"

Smoothing the wrinkles on his Daoist robe, he smiled calmly: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to have such a good memory, to still remember This Xu."

Standing up abruptly, he almost roared: "Good memory?"

His twisted finger pointed forward: "Xu Changsheng, I won't forget this face of yours even if I die. For countless days and nights, I've wanted to tear it off and crush it inch by inch!"

"Fellow Daoist is so ugly, yet your dreams are so beautiful. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the thought, you need matching strength."

"Aaaah! I'll kill you!"

Repeatedly provoked by Xu Changsheng, Lu Yuanze's explosive temper could no longer be suppressed.

He slapped his Storage Pouch, and an eerie banner suddenly appeared in his hand.

Ghostly winds blew, and spirits drifted.

The already chilly grotto became even more bone-chillingly cold at this moment.

Lu Yuanze said with confidence: "My thousand soul banner hasn't tasted the living soul of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for a long time. Today, I'll use you as an appetizer!"

The next moment.

Three Foundation Establishment level fierce ghosts flew out of the soul banner, circling in mid-air, their hollow eyes locked onto Xu Changsheng, but they didn't move an inch.

Just as the latter was wondering.

Countless Qi Refining minor ghosts flew out of the thousand soul banner again. The sound of ghostly wails instantly filled the entire grotto, and they were about to fly in all directions to search for prey.

Suddenly, they felt a suppressing force from above.

Looking up, they found it was the Foundation Establishment fierce ghosts, and immediately trembled all over, not daring to move.

"Three Talents Cultivator-Severing Formation!"

Lu Yuanze did not pause. Once the ghosts were in position, he immediately began performing hand seals incessantly.

The thousand soul banner suddenly emitted countless wisps of black Qi.

The fierce ghosts bathed in the black Qi, and their previous shock and trembling vanished without a trace.

Replaced by soul-lust.

Greed, cruelty, bloodlust.

Hundreds of gazes looked at Xu Changsheng in unison.

The latter's expression also turned grim.

As a second-grade High Grade Formation Master, he naturally knew the danger of being passively trapped in an enemy's Formation.

Fortunately, to escape from Duanyun Ridge, he had already prepared Formation countermeasures.

He patted his Storage Pouch, and several Formation Flags and a gray, millstone-sized Formation Plate suddenly appeared in his hand.

He then patted his Spirit Pet Bag and released Ink Shadow.

With a wave of his hand, the Formation Plate and Formation Flags flew onto Ink Shadow's back.

"Whoosh!"

With amazing speed, Ink Shadow took only a few breaths to plant the Formation Flags around him and float the Formation Plate in mid-air.

Xu Changsheng's hands moved like spinning wheels, chanting under his breath: "Gap-Seeking Realm-Breaking Formation!"

This was precisely his means of escape for when he was trapped in the Formations of Broken Cloud Ridge.

Just then.

The ghosts on the opposite side moved.

In groups, led by the three head ghosts, they lunged towards him to bite.

The ranks were uniform, like a mortal army.

Seeing this scene.

Xu Changsheng's eyes froze: "Damn, it was just the name of a Formation layout. Gave me a fright."
