“But I’m different. I prefer to eat them raw!”
When Lu Zhen heard the first half, he thought that he had a chance of survival. However, after he heard the second half, his entire heart was in his throat. No wonder Senior Brother Zhou’s corpse was still intact after falling into the hands of this dark creature.
So this dark creature didn’t eat corpses!
“Go to hell!”
Lu Zhen didn’t sit still waiting for death. Instead, he chose to take the lead.
He unleashed his full strength as a Level One Qi Sea Realm cultivator. The sword in his hand swept out at an extremely fast speed like a bolt of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the sword was already in front of the dark creature. “Clang!”
The sound of clashing weapons rang out.
Sparks flew and the sword was grabbed by a large black hand.
This hand only had three fingers, but it was extremely sturdy as if it was made of refined iron.
This stroke of Lu Zhen’s sword seemed to be extremely powerful, but that hand remained unharmed.
That hand snatched at the sword, without leaving a cut on the palm.
“Haha… Is this a human cultivator? So weak!”
The black-robed dark creature sneered.
Immediately after.
It slightly exerted force with three fingers.
“Clang!”
With a snap, the sword in its hand was instantly crushed.
Then, without any warning, it threw a punch.
Bang!
The void exploded.
The surrounding void seemed to shatter under this punch, kicking up a black storm that swept out in all directions.
Bang!
Lu Zhen’s body was sent flying again like a kite with a broken string. He flew hundreds of meters before coming to a stop.
The punch just now had almost shattered all the bones in his body.
Even if he was at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm, he was too weak to stand.
The severe injuries made him feel that his life was rapidly dissipating.
“Am I going to die here?”
As the dark creature gradually approached him, Lu Zhen’s heart was filled with despair.
He could only watch the dark creature nearing and reach out its pitch-black hand to grab him.
And he couldn’t do anything about it.
The dark creature’s long and thin scarlet tongue dripped a stinky black liquid.
Just as it opened its bloody mouth and was about to eat Lu Zhen, a sudden change occurred.
Whoosh!
The sound of something breaking through the air rang out.
Immediately after, a long sword that flickered with a cold light swept over with golden star power.
It was like a meteor falling from the sky.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Wherever the golden light passed, vast swaths of towering trees turned into dust.
The terrifying sword intent strangled everything around it.
“Hmm?”
The dark creature realized something was wrong. It threw Lu Zhen on the ground and turned around.
However, before it could do anything, its huge body was pierced through by a long sword.
There was a hole penetrating through his right chest, and black blood was flowing out of it.
“Who are you?”
Even though the dark creature’s heart was pierced, its body still stood tall.
It slowly turned around and looked into the depths of the black fog as it asked in a hoarse voice.
“Su Chen from the Great Mystery Sect!”
A cold voice came from the black fog.
Then, a figure in a white robe appeared in front of it.
“Junior Brother Su Chen…”
When Lu Zhen saw the person who had come, there were complicated feelings in his eyes.
He would never forget Su Chen’s performance in the outer sect trial, nor would he forget the words of Su Chen’s supporters.
He did not expect Su Chen to save his life this time.
“Be careful, dark creatures are hard to kill!”
Lu Zhen struggled to get up from the ground and reminded Su Chen while looking at him.
“Hehehe…”
The black-robed dark creature let out a hoarse laugh.
Endless black mist rose from its body, and it looked like a demon god from the Netherworld.
The boundless black fog enveloped it, and the wound on its right chest was also squirming rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the wound healed up. From the surface, there were no traces of injury at all.
“He’s right. We can’t be killed!”
“Oh? Is that so? But I don’t quite believe you.”
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and stared at the dark creature with a smile.
The next moment, with a flick of the wrist, the sword that had just flown out returned to his palm.
“Then I’ll see if you’re really difficult to kill today!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen swung the sword in his hand.
The terrifying starlight shattered the endless black fog.
The sword energy swept out, carrying an incomparably terrifying power as it charged toward the dark creatures.
“Haha…”
The dark creature laughed sinisterly.
The dark creature did not dodge Su Chen’s attack at all. It stretched out its pitch-black hand and grabbed at the long sword.
“Clang!”
The pitch-black hand caught hold of the longsword.
“Just this?”
The dark creature stared at Su Chen with its scarlet eyes and let out a strange laugh.
However, in the next second, its expression suddenly changed.
A terrifying force exploded, causing its three-meter-tall body to sink into the ground.
“Break!”
The dark creature’s eyes narrowed as it let out a loud shout.
Then, it stretched out its other hand and used both hands to seize the long sword. In an instant, the sword intent turned into an energy storm that swept in all directions.
“Hmm?”
Seeing this, Su Chen frowned slightly.
Back when he was at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, none of the Lin family’s three revered elders could block his sword.
But now.
He was still in the same realm and performed the same grand-attainment-level Star Shattering Sword Art. However, the dark creature that was also at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm was able to block his sword.
No wonder the dark creatures were known to be invincible among those of the same level!
Other than having a strong physique, these dark creatures also had an abnormal recovery speed.
Even Su Chen was ashamed of his inferiority.
“The taste of human prodigies’ blood is the best! Stop resisting and be my food!”
The black-robed dark creature jumped out of the ground and licked its lips with its long and thin scarlet tongue.
There was a murderous light in its red eyes as it charged at Su Chen.
“Then let’s see who is truly invincible among those in the same realm! Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash!”
Su Chen shouted.
This attack was simple and direct. His longsword glowed and swept out with great force.
He used Crimson Flame Flowing Light Slash, an earth-level middle-rank martial art.
This was the first time he had performed this martial art!
He was filled with anticipation for the power of this earth-level middle-rank martial art.
Although he had just reached the introductory level, its power was something that even the grand-attainment-level Star Shattering Sword Art could not compare to!
These were the horrors of an earth-level middle-rank martial art!
A deafening rumble sounded.
Every time they collided, the dark creature’s body would tremble, as if all the bones in its body were shattering at this moment..
