The demonic disciple who was looking at Fuangu with mockery was at the early Foundation Realm as well but had formed his 3rd Divine Platform, making Fuangu one stage weaker than him. He had been toying with him so far but seeing Fuangu’s actions he couldn’t help his eyes from going wide.
“Are you insane burning your life essence like this?!”
Fuangu burning his life essence gave him strength equal to his own. He was already weakened so with this Fuangu went from someone he could kill with a bit of effort to being able to threaten his life.
Even though it was temporary Fuangu looked completely out of his mind.
He took a step back, but Fuangu didn’t hear him and with eyes completely red he reached him before slashing down with his sword as hard as he could.
The demonic disciple awkwardly blocked his attack but was pushed back.
Fuangu continued to bombard him with attacks relentlessly, even managing to pierce his shoulder. He pulled out his sword causing blood to spurt from the demonic disciple's shoulder.
Staggering back, the demonic disciple stared at Fuangu with anger.
“Y-You bastard.”
Fuangu's red eyes glared at him before he raise his hand to attack once more, but he suddenly staggered and cough out a mouthful of blood. Fuangu tried to cover his mouth but the blood just continuously flowed like a stream.
He hadn’t held back in using his life essence to increase his cultivation.
The demonic disciple's eyes flickered at that and he took that opportunity to attack. He moved fast and his sword plunged itself into Fuangu’s chest causing more blood to spurt from his mouth.
The scene of Fuangu at the end of his sword caused the demonic disciple to laugh hysterically.
“Hahaha!! This fool!”
The demonic disciple looked at Fuangu mockingly as his heroic attempt to take him down together with him had tragically failed.
However, as the demonic disciple was reveling in his victory, Fuangu eyes flashed.
His limp hand that was holding his sword moved.
“You-”
The demonic disciple seeing this was shocked and moved to block his attack, but his sword was being held by Fuangu’s other hand.
The demonic disciple raised his hand in a pitiful attempt to block his sword but Fuangu had done everything for this one opportunity.
His sword glowed with burning flames and like a hot knife slicing through butter his sword cut through the disciple’s hands and reached his neck.
“ARRRRGH!!”
Fuangu screamed as his sword created a red flash.
The demonic disciple's head flew into the air, and from his severed neck, a fountain of blood burst upwards, some of it splashing on Fuangu’s face.
Fuangu felt all the strength leave his body and with the sword still stuck in his chest, he fell backwards.
He immediately slipped into unconsciousness, missing the fact that a demonic disciple that just stabbed someone in the back unexpectedly had set eyes on him.
Even if he wanted to fight back though he was already close to having his life snuffed away.
That demonic disciple came up to his unconscious body and seeing that he was still alive, sneered before lifting his sword to plunge it down. However, that was when Li Shen quickly appeared and sent out a palm strike he couldn't resist.
After killing the demonic disciple, Li Shen then stooped down to pick up Fuangu, leaving the sword inside only breaking off the handle. He then began sending Wood Qi into his body right before crushing and forcefully fed him a mid-tier medicinal pill from the pile he got earlier.
He then flew towards the Teleportation Hall.
Despite carrying Fuangu, Li Shen still moved impeded as he killed demonic disciples who approached him.
Reaching inside the Teleportation Hall he saw that there were countless corpses of disciples. while the teleportation circles were destroyed.
Li Shen suspected that this was the case but he wasn’t worried.
He found a teleportation circle that wasn’t too badly destroyed and after setting Fuangu down he went to fix it. It would still take him a few minutes to an hour to completely fix it, but to avoid that he only did the bare minimum repairs so it was enough to be used for one teleportation. This took him under a minute to do.
After that, he took out a few spirit stones to activate it. However, he suddenly paused and his red pupils dilated into pin size needles.
His body blurred as he took up Fuangu and shot backwards from the teleportation circle. Immediately as he did, it exploded without any warning.
“Oh, you dodge that, what a shame those beautiful flames hadn't kill you and your injured friend.”
A voice suddenly spoke up amid the explosion.
Li Shen turned his head to see a gorgeous young woman floating in the air towards him.
She was folding a hand under her rather well-endowed chest while the other was holding her cheek. She was looking at Li Shen like him not dying in the explosion was the most tragic thing she had ever witnessed.
Li Shen was careless.
He didn’t check for anyone hiding nearby and he didn’t question why some of these teleportation circles were less damaged than the others.
It was a trap.
But it wasn’t an ordinary trap. It was set by a Core Formation Realm expert in the early stage. The fluctuations of which were emanating from this woman.
Li Shen immediately prepare for a fight, but cautiousness seeped into his heart at her level of threat.
Looking at Li Shen, the woman didn’t attack immediately but instead asked.
“Who are you? I’ve never heard of such a talented disciple cultivating their Fleshly Body aside from the Young Master of the Bai Clan. But he and the others from the Major Clans are busy fighting with senior Elder brother. Why don’t you take off your mask and let me see your face.”
Hearing that Li Shen thought.
'Someone fighting all of them alone? Who is that from the Demonic Cult? Is it someone from the Dark Moon Assasin Guild or the two Demonic Sects?'
Li Shen added this new knowledge to his memory and decided to think about it later.
The woman waited a moment, but seeing that Li Shen was remaining silent she released a smile.
“No worries, I can see your face after I kill you. But it might not be in one piece though.”
She chuckled right after forming a hand seal.
Li Shen suddenly looked to his left where a teleportation circle was, to see it release a piercing blue light.
He leaped away as it combusted into flames before exploding. The shockwave of the blast battered against his back as he protected Fuangu.
One or Two explosions from the teleportation circle itself wouldn't give him life-threatening injuries, but it was the chaotic spatial laws it released right after that made Li Shen avoid it at all costs.
Before he could settle down, another teleportation circle exploded next to him.
Seeing him dodging another explosion the woman said.
“Why not let the flames of the explosion encapsulate you in its glory? Even as your skin peels off from the scorching heat it will feel exhilarating!”
A sadistic look appeared on her face as she made more hand seals, detonating the runes around Li Shen.
'Shit, did she rig every teleportation circle in here to explode? Fuck.'
There were near a hundred teleportation runes in here, and thinking of that number had chills go down Li Shen's spine.
The woman suddenly let out a moan of pleasure when she saw the hall being engulfed in flames. With a fanatic expression on her face, she held her checks and muttered softly.
“So beautiful…”
She was so moved by the brilliance of the fire that her eyes even began to glisten with tears.
Li Shen was meanwhile dodging wildly from exploded landmines. Looking around the hall to see all the tleportation circles, he couldn't help but curse his situation.
‘Fuck…’
If someone told him that these runes he was responsible for creating were going to be used by some crazy pyromaniac woman to try and kill him, he would have looked at that person like he was equally crazy.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Three teleportation circles exploded at once, Li Shen dodge the first two but was caught in the third explosion.
He shielded Fuangu but visceral gashes appeared on his back and arms as he leaped out of the explosion.
His burly body landed on the ground hard, but he remained steady on his feet despite the heavy-looking wounds he suffered.
His already tatter close was non-existent, leaving him standing there almost naked. The rags that were on his face were halfway from falling off.
The woman seeing his muscular appearance and godly physique bit her lip with dreamy eyes.
However, despite what one might think, she was looking at the scorch marks and gashes on Li Shen’s body instead.
“See how much better you look? If only you would burn some more for me. Allow me to decorate that body of yours into a masterpiece. All the others I’ve met so far can’t withstand my artistic nature, but that body of yours can.”
As the woman spoke she stared at Li Shen with eager eyes as if this was something she spent her entire life waiting for.
Arms spread wide she said with exhilaration.
“Come! Let’s show this world what art truly is! Art... is an explosion!!"
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
"Kekekuku...”
