Chapter 2265: Chapter 2266: The Deal
Sss!
Not only the many elders on the field but even those outside were taken aback and let out a gasp of breath.
Even with their extensive experience, they had never seen anything like this before.
The person in front of them was more terrifying than a demon.
The food not yet swallowed was smeared on Lu Kang’s face, making his expression even more grotesque. Coupled with his cruel smile, it felt as though one was stepping into hell.
"Devil!"
Everyone whispered in their hearts.
Blood and flesh continued to drip, and the remaining few elders, apart from their reddened eyes, had no strength left. Firstly, because the spiritual power they had just expended was enormous, and secondly, because Lu Kang’s actions filled them with fear.
Even the ever-volatile red-haired man widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe his own eyes.
But Lu Kang did not mind; he was too hungry. His physical strength had been depleted significantly earlier on, unlike others who could replenish physical exhaustion with spiritual energy.
Devouring the flesh and blood that contains spiritual energy was undoubtedly the quickest way.
Any spiritual cultivator, whose body is immersed in spiritual energy for years, even if there is no spiritual power inside the Dantian, their flesh and blood are rich in nutrients. In such a frenzy of devouring, the flesh filled with spiritual energy was consumed by Lu Kang, and its power continuously digested, invigorating his spirit. The feeling was wonderful.
"Now, let’s see how you save them!"
Lu Kang sneered coldly, flicking the elder’s body with his long spear and swiping it out.
The body struck by the spear was crushed. The less flesh-covered body had only bone left, no trace of red!
The corpse collided with the mirror surface, the skeletal frame shattered under the impact, scattering all over the ground, turning into a pile of bones.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, a situation no one could have anticipated.
Liu Qinghan’s gaze became dazed; even with his means, being wounded like this left him with no way of recovery.
Yet Liu Qinghan then took a breath, bowed slightly in apology toward the pile of bones in the mirror, then straightened his body and strode towards the hall.
"Do not come over; if you do, everyone here will die."
Lu Kang revealed his ghastly white teeth and shook his head at Liu Qinghan.
Although the sound inside could not escape, Liu Qinghan observed his mouth movements, causing his figure to halt, his steps suspended in mid-air.
The presence of Lu Kang lacked the support of Yin Sha energy and the ability to devour spiritual energy, yet even someone as strong as Liu Qinghan might not be able to eliminate him with one blow.
Based on Lu Kang’s recent actions, his speed is exceptionally fast. Liu Qinglan and Lu Kang were separated by mere ten meters through the mirror, but Lu Kang was closer to Chen Lin and others by just a few meters. If Liu Qinglan stepped inside, Lu Kang would surely act first, and then...
Liu Qinghan paused, his steps retreating.
These elders are the backbone of the sect. The original disciples from the law enforcement hall and elite forces were sent out to search for the demon sect and only a few remained to guard the sect.
After considering, Liu Qinghan decided to let the five elders join forces. Only under the disparity in strength would Lu Kang not be able to defend himself, allowing the spiritual skill to be used, with Liu Qinghan supporting from outside, ensuring a foolproof plan.
However, he still underestimated Lu Kang’s strength and peculiarities.
Thus, looking at the scene, the elders became a hindrance.
"That’s right, be obedient."
Lu Kang watched Liu Qinghan retreat gradually, his face showing a smile. Covered in blood, his face looked even more sinister under that gentle smile.
"Sect Master, don’t mind us! Eliminating the demon is paramount! We must not let him escape!"
The red-haired man shouted angrily, his voice reverberating in the scene, but it did not transmit outside. His voice was confined within, causing Liu Qinghan to rely on lip reading.
"Is that so, do you really wish to die?"
The sound did not reach outside, yet it resonated deeply within Lu Kang. Upon hearing the red-haired man’s words, Lu Kang moved as if a phantom, gliding behind the red-haired man.
The fingers still stained with the previous elder’s blood brushed the back of the red-haired man’s neck, leaving a scarlet mark, either from the man’s wounds or Lu Kang’s fingers.
A strong chill quickly rose in the man’s heart with the gentle stroke of fingers, prompting him to turn abruptly and see Lu Kang’s blood-covered face with dark, unblinking eyes staring at him, causing his heart to tremble, and steps to stagger backward in fear.
"Do not panic; it’s not time to kill you yet..."
Lu Kang’s fingers descended, wiping the blood-stained hands on the man’s chest indifferently.
Then he looked out, his eyes piercing through the mirror to focus on Lin Chen outside, sitting cross-legged, deep in thought.
Although trapped, Lu Kang was grateful that this prison offered him more choices.
When the medicinal influence was still present and the formation had not fully formed, escape was possible, albeit with a massive price. Liu Qinghan likely chose to trap him here to avoid unnecessary damage before striking.
Yet now, contrary to expectation, the situation favored Lu Kang.
Gently laughing, no one foresaw this.
He slowly stepped forward, reaching the mirror within moments, where he placed a hand against it, his fingers sliding, pointing at Lin Chen and Tao Yuyu.
"Let these two inside, and I’ll let these elders go."
Lu Kang turned, pointing at the elders, showing disdain in his eyes.
Tao Yuyu felt ecstatic, looking eagerly at Lu Kang within — anything was better than being caught by the Green Ripple Sect and thrown into the water prison.
Liu Qinghan frowned, unsure of the situation inside, unaware that Lin Chen held the sacred object of the demon sect. He bowed his head slightly, pondering the gains and losses.
"You have no choice. If these useless elders perish, the sect’s strength will drop significantly."
Seeing Liu Qinghan contemplating, Lu Kang stated dryly.
Disciples can be trained, but replacing a deceased elder is exceedingly difficult.
