158: Chapter 159 So reckless?
Lu Ming knew what they were thinking, but he wasn't angry.
Cultivators are inherently selfish; while they were on good terms, it wasn't to the point of following each other through life and death.
So, Lu Ming wasn't surprised that they had their own selfish motives.
He just didn't want to expose too many things to them.
Lu Ming said with a serious expression.
“Everyone, rest assured, I, Han, am not a reckless person. I will only block for a moment, then I will leave. You shouldn't waste any more time, or else none of you will be able to escape!”
Shen Ruolin was still hesitant, but He Fei pulled her away.
“Let's not hold Fellow Daoist Han back. Our leaving first is the greatest help.”
“Fellow Daoist Han, thank you. We'll meet again in the Immortal City!”
Only after watching them disappear into streaks of light did Lu Ming withdraw his gaze.
“My Main Body will cooperate. Let's finish this quickly!”
He sighed, thinking to himself.
Although his Clone's consciousness was one with his Main Body, he still did all the work!
And ultimately, it was still serving himself, so there was no reason to object!
Lu Ming, filled with the resentment of a laborer, unleashed his full Aura and charged straight towards that shadow.
As he got closer, Lu Ming finally saw the Yao Beast's exact appearance.
This was a Yao Bird with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters, covered in seven colors, with Phoenix feathers, Luan tail, sparrow claws, and an Eagle-headed Demon.
And this Eagle-headed Demon also noticed Lu Ming's actions.
However, in its eyes, Lu Ming was like a tiny ant. Although his Aura wasn't weak, he posed no threat to it.
A hint of disdain flashed in its eagle eyes, but it still changed direction and charged rapidly towards Lu Ming.
Anyway, who wouldn't it chase?
Moreover, everyone else is running, but you're not. Are you very brave?
In the Eagle-headed Demon's view, this was an ant's provocation towards it.
Lu Ming looked at the pouncing Eagle-headed Demon with an expressionless face.
During his flight, he continuously formed Spell seals.
His Aura also gradually began to rise.
“Sure enough, the Reverse Flourishing and Wither can also be performed by the Clone.”
Lu Ming pondered in his heart.
Lifespan is ethereal, but it is closely related to essence, Qi, and spirit.
Corpse puppets themselves have no Lifespan, but they have condensed countless blood Qi within their bodies.
And since the Clone belongs to the Main Body, it can still barely perform it.
It's just a pity that the side effects cannot be transferred to this Yao Bird.
However, as long as the Main Body performs it simultaneously, it's not a big problem.
Feeling the surging power within his body, Lu Ming grinned.
“Middle Stage Foundation Establishment. I can certainly use you to practice.”
Bang!
There were no flashy Spells, only the most primitive physical collision.
Lu Ming instantly engaged the Eagle-headed Demon in battle, and arcs of Qi waves dispersed even the clouds.
In the distance.
High in the sky, a figure was hidden in a cloud, watching Lu Ming, who was brawling with the Eagle-headed Demon. Cai Mingkun was somewhat stunned.
“Is this person... Han Feiyu?”
He had inadvertently provoked the Eagle-headed Demon and was chased all the way here.
Picking Lu Ming and the others as human shields was just an accident.
He had never hoped that these few people could kill the Eagle-headed Demon; he only needed to run faster than them.
Although he intended to divert the danger, he didn't expect someone to be so cooperative.
He really just charged right in.
“He's really not afraid of death!”
Cai Mingkun's mouth held a cold sneer.
He did not leave, but instead concealed his Aura and hid.
Since someone wanted to show off, he wanted to see if there was an opportunity to reap the benefits.
This Han Feiyu was quite famous in the Immortal City. It was rumored that he fought against Foundation Establishment Cultivators during his Qi Refining Stage.
Now, it seemed he was indeed formidable. His Body Refining technique was already comparable to a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
But facing a Medium Grade Second-tier Eagle-headed Demon, Cai Mingkun didn't believe he could escape unscathed.
“You're very good at fighting, aren't you? Then let you fight.”
Once both sides were injured, he wouldn't be polite.
As an Immortal City Guest Elder, he had also signed the ‘Hou Tu Contract’.
Although he couldn't take action proactively, if something happened to this Han Feiyu on his own, then he couldn't be blamed.
This person's net worth was very enviable. If he got his resources, he would no longer have to painstakingly hunt Yao Beasts.
Moreover, this Eagle-headed Demon was also quite valuable. If he could get both, he might even have the resources to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.
Cai Mingkun's eyes were full of greed.
However, what happened next made him more and more alarmed.
This Han Feiyu was like he was on drugs, fighting more bravely as the battle progressed.
In contrast, the Eagle-headed Demon gradually showed signs of fatigue and was even being suppressed by Han Feiyu.
“Is this Eagle-headed Demon so weak?”
Cai Mingkun felt some regret. The first moment he realized the Eagle-headed Demon was a Medium Grade Second-tier Yao Beast, he turned and ran.
But he didn't expect the opponent to be merely strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If he had used some of his trump cards, he might have been able to take it down alone.
But now, wouldn't this benefit be picked up by Han Feiyu for free?
And in this way, wouldn't his idea of reaping the benefits fall through?
The more Cai Mingkun thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
He completely forgot that he was the one who caused all this by diverting the trouble.
He only knew that not making a profit was equivalent to suffering a loss!
Then, Cai Mingkun's eyes darted around.
Since the situation had already occurred and the idea of picking up a bargain was no longer possible, he might as well cut his losses in time.
Thinking this, he quietly waited.
When Han Feiyu completely gained the upper hand and was about to deliver a fatal blow to the Eagle-headed Demon.
He quickly withdrew his stealth Spell, revealing his Aura.
“Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you!”
Cai Mingkun shouted, making a move as if to rush to help.
He thought very clearly: if he helped, it would count as contributing effort, so splitting it in half shouldn't be a problem, right?
If he didn't get it, then a fight it would be.
After a big battle with the Eagle-headed Demon, he didn't believe Han Feiyu had no consumption!
He was still very confident in his own strength; before, he had simply misjudged the strength of the Eagle-headed Demon.
If he really had to face it, he wasn't afraid!
But as soon as he got close, he saw Han Feiyu look over with a cold gaze.
“Scram!”
Before Cai Mingkun could speak, a backhand slap came flying over.
Bang!
A powerful blow directly sent him flying, crashing down like a falling meteor.
Lu Ming ignored Cai Mingkun. The Clone's Divine Sense was in no way inferior to the Main Body's and had long noticed the person's location.
He had originally intended to deal with this pest after finishing off the Eagle-headed Demon, but he didn't expect him to actively come closer.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Ming punched the head of the Eagle-headed Demon, whose Aura had already weakened to an extreme.
Bang!
The Eagle-headed Demon's skull immediately caved in, and its beak directly broke.
“Caw!”
The Eagle-headed Demon let out a sharp shriek.
Although its intelligence was not as mature as that of a Third-tier Yao Beast, it could sense that its own condition was not right and that it was no longer this person's opponent.
Fear appeared in the Eagle-headed Demon's eyes, and it made a move as if to escape.
But Lu Ming's arm, like an iron clamp, firmly locked it down.
No matter how it struggled, it couldn't move.
Immediately after, Lu Ming rained down punch after punch.
Until the Eagle-headed Demon's struggles gradually weakened, until it could no longer move at all.
(PS: Some Fellow Daoists have commented that the Clone's psychological activities are too frequent, and it might rebel. Here, I, the humble Daoist, declare that it will not rebel, it will not rebel! Please read with confidence!)
