80: Infinite resurrection, right? You better keep your word!

Despair, terror.

The air in the stone hall solidified, leaving only the heavy, almost stopping heartbeats of the crowd.

Bai Qiuyue had just activated “Words Become Law” three times in a row, draining nearly 30% of her life force.

At this moment, she no longer dared to act rashly.

She planned to retreat and simply re-seal this fiendish corpse back into the stone coffin.

An Yangzi floated in the center of the stone hall, his body, reborn from decaying flesh, now completely restored.

However, dark veins were faintly visible pulsating beneath his skin, as if countless insects were wriggling under his flesh.

He lowered his head to look at the new flesh on his palm, then raised his eyes to scan the people in the hall, his demonic eyes full of mockery:

“Don’t say this humble one didn’t give you a chance; does anyone else want to try?”

The stone hall was dead silent; no one dared to respond.

Are you kidding? Even that impossibly strong white-robed expert couldn’t suppress and kill it. With their meager strength, wouldn’t they just be serving themselves up?

Shen Shiyuan and the others felt their hearts sink little by little.

They had hoped to gain some immortal fortune, but instead, they might lose their lives.

Only then did he recall the weight of that sentence in the ancient corpse archives.

“When the ancient corpse awakens, all humans and animals in Jiangcheng County will perish.”

“The ancient corpse has regenerative abilities… we cannot completely exterminate it!”

Good news: the ancient corpse really does have regenerative abilities; it’s not an immortal, but it’s not far off.

Bad news: this monstrous thing is alive, and getting close to it drains one’s life force; it simply cannot be killed!

Before the ancient corpse broke the seal, they were arrogant, believing that a mere ancient corpse was just an opportunity for them.

But now that the ancient corpse had revived, well, they would all become its nourishment!

Just as they were in despair, Lu Ming’s voice rang in their ears.

“Oi, you guys from Longhu Mountain, aren’t you great at catching ghosts? Why aren’t you going up?”

As soon as Lu Ming spoke, the stone hall fell silent for half a second.

Shen Shiyuan suddenly looked up, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

Me?

Go deal with that monstrous thing?

Do you even hear the nonsense you’re spouting?!

Even An Yangzi’s mocking laughter paused, and he suddenly looked at Shen Shiyuan.

Shen Shiyuan’s expression changed, and his body suddenly vanished from its spot.

Immediately after, a bloody tentacle suddenly smashed into the place where he had been standing.

After a while, Shen Shiyuan slowly emerged from the shadows, clutching his left hand, which had turned into bone.

He stared fixedly at Lu Ming, his face incredibly grim: “You f*cking tricked me!!”

He was truly fuming!

If his talent hadn’t been ‘Shifting Shadows,’ he would have exploded on the spot.

“Hehe…”

Lu Ming’s face timely broke into a harmless smile.

“I think that monstrous thing might even be your sect’s ancestor. Why don’t you go up and acknowledge him?”

I ‘hehe’ your mother!

Shen Shiyuan was so enraged his lungs were about to burst, the fury in his chest wanting to burn a hole through Lu Ming on the spot.

But due to An Yangzi’s oppressive presence, he could only forcefully suppress his anger deep in his heart.

“Hmph, presumptuous!”

An Yangzi was enraged.

Had the world changed so quickly?

He, a dignified corpse dissolution immortal, was actually being ignored!

“You ignorant brat, calling me a ghost! The might of an immortal is not something you can insult!”

An Yangzi slowly raised his hand, splaying his five fingers, and the ominous energy around him surged.

Countless bloody tentacles surged wildly from behind An Yangzi, like venomous snakes breaking free of their restraints, twisting and coiling in mid-air, instantly filling most of the stone hall.

Lu Ming’s expression darkened, and he roared at An Yangzi: “Shut up, you faker! Do you think reciting a few Daoist scriptures on entry makes you awesome? I don’t want to hear it!”

“Faker?”

An Yangzi was first stunned, then his demonic pupils suddenly contracted, and the surging ominous energy around him instantly solidified, only to erupt like a volcanic explosion in the next second!

“Good, good, good!”

An Yangzi’s voice carried a bone-chilling coldness. He clenched his five fingers tightly.

Those bloody tentacles, as if receiving a command, shot wildly towards Lu Ming.

The tentacles were astonishingly fast, leaving streaks of dark red afterimages in the air, making them almost impossible to avoid.

But instead of dodging, Lu Ming rapidly approached An Yangzi’s position.

“Damn it, he’s suicidal!”

“Lu Ming is crazy!?”

“No, that bloody ominous energy seems ineffective against him!”

Before the exclamations of the crowd died down, Lu Ming’s figure, like an arrow released from a bow, darted freely through the dense bloody tentacles.

Those tentacles, which could originally absorb life force, would instantly emit a “sizzling” scorching sound upon touching the golden runes coiling around his body.

They would quickly shrivel and char like hot oil dropped into cold water, unable to get even half an inch close to his body.

“This… how is this possible?”

Shen Shiyuan’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Those previous rogue cultivators couldn’t even last a single breath, but Lu Ming wasn’t even dodging now!

Not just him, even Bai Qiuyue’s beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder.

This young man’s physique seemed somewhat special, like some kind of… ancient divine body!

Among everyone present, besides Lu Ming himself, Zhao Qingge knew him best.

Although this brat could completely immune himself to the invasion of ominous energy, that An Yangzi was an existence that even her senior sister couldn’t kill!

“You little brat, come back quickly!”

...An Yangzi watched the fiercely approaching Lu Ming.

He was initially surprised that the other party could immune himself to the life force extraction of his domain, then a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“A mere mortal, trying to slay an immortal? It’s just an ant trying to shake a tree! You simply don’t understand the gap between us!”

But Lu Ming’s face showed no fluctuation. He swung out the Demon Subduing Nine Blades with his left hand and threw the Nine Revolutions Spirit-Chastising Spear with his right.

This time, he wasn’t pursuing ultimate explosive power.

Because he knew that no matter how great the burst, it couldn’t kill this old bastard.

However, don’t forget, his three-star talent was [Execution]!

Ignoring everything, instant death upon trigger!

“Can’t be killed, huh?!”

“A corpse dissolution immortal, huh?!”

Lu Ming’s voice carried a hint of mad hoarseness, but his eyes shone astonishingly bright.

The Demon Subduing Nine Blades in his left palm spun rapidly, instantly unleashing dozens of strikes.

The lightning spear in his right hand fell like a torrential rain.

But An Yangzi didn’t even bother to dodge.

He just stood there, a nearly pathological sneer on his face, allowing the blade light and lightning shadows to fall upon him.

In the blink of an eye, An Yangzi had been chopped into scattered pieces of flesh, blood splattering all over Lu Ming.

But in the next second, those scattered pieces of flesh began to wriggle, and the dismembered body re-coiled and re-pieced itself together.

In just a breath, An Yangzi stood perfectly intact in his original spot, even the creases on his Daoist robe were exactly the same as before, only the sneer at the corner of his mouth deepened slightly.

He truly loved this kind of torment.

Every time he was “killed” by these ants, he could clearly feel that faint glimmer of hope quietly growing in the other party’s heart.

It was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, even knowing it might be useless, they couldn’t help but hold onto hope.

But when he rose from death again and again, those nascent hopes would instantly extinguish like a flame doused with ice water, then gradually condense into deep despair.

At this moment, they would fall into self-doubt: what I am facing is not a human, it is an immortal! It is an immortal!

This was truly unprecedented pleasure!

I am an immortal!

But this action of his, in Lu Ming’s eyes, was simply courting death.

So fond of showing off?

No problem, three-star [Execution] specializes in dealing with show-offs!

Once, twice, thrice… Lu Ming’s expression showed no fluctuation; his attacks reached an unprecedented speed.

He chopped at the pieces of flesh on the ground like mincing meat, one strike after another.

Everyone present watched with chills.

This was a madman!

They couldn’t even imagine how crazy An Yangzi would become when he revived later!

“Enough! Wasting time!”

An Yangzi’s roar exploded in the stone hall like thunder.

He had wanted to enjoy the pleasure of his prey struggling in despair.

But Lu Ming’s indifferent, repeatedly swinging posture made him feel very bored.

It was time to end this; he didn’t want to waste any more time!

However, when Lu Ming saw the mark of Execution appear on him, he laughed heartily.

“You’re right, the farce is over.”

“You can revive infinitely, right? You’d better live up to that!”

...
