Chapter 95 Demon Suppression Hall
Chapter 95 Demon Suppression Hall
Although Lu Xuan's cultivation level was not as high as that of the Nine Netherworld Scorpion, with the support of the Primordial Pearl and the Devouring Heaven Sword, he managed to withstand the attack and even gained the upper hand.
Even though each collision would cause his blood to surge, he didn't care and instead became more and more courageous in battle.
His eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, and he had no other thoughts but to kill this monster.
"Haotian Sword Technique, Chaotic Dance!"
All that could be seen was the long sword in Lu Xuan's hand, which created countless afterimages.
Then, each sword strike precisely pierced the joint of the Nine Netherworld Scorpion's carapace.
Although it couldn't directly break through the defenses, the shockwave that penetrated the body caused the Nine Netherworld Scorpion unbearable pain.
The Nine Netherworld Scorpion roared repeatedly, never expecting that this seemingly insignificant human would be so troublesome.
After a hiss, it flicked its tail, and the venomous stinger, like a snake emerging from its hole, pierced towards Lu Xuan's back at an extremely tricky angle.
Upon seeing this, Su Qinghuan cried out in alarm and tried to rush forward to help.
"Your Highness, watch out behind you!"
However, he was entangled by the swarm of poisonous spiders that rushed up from all around, and had no way to free his hands to help.
"We were prepared for this!"
Lu Xuan sneered, then suddenly ducked to avoid a fatal blow.
At the same time, he swung his sword backhand.
"Snap!"
The Heaven-Devouring Sword struck the tail needle, severing a section of it!
"hiss!"
The Nine Netherworld Scorpion let out an extremely shrill scream; the pain of its severed tail drove it completely mad!
At that moment, it no longer cared about defense. With a sudden slam of its massive body, it sent Lu Xuan flying.
Then it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a thick black poisonous mist, enveloping the entire cavern.
"A natal scorpion venom?"
Lu Xuan's expression changed. This poisonous fog was extremely corrosive, capable of instantly melting rocks into pus.
If it were to come into contact with Su Qinghuan, it would probably obliterate her bones instantly!
"Hongmeng Pearl, absorb it!"
Lu Xuan let out a low shout, and the Primordial Pearl inside his body spun wildly, forming a black vortex around him that swallowed up all the poisonous mist that surged in.
Although the Primordial Pearl could neutralize the toxins, the poisonous fog was too dense. Lu Xuan felt a burning pain in his meridians, as if countless ants were gnawing at him.
"We can't delay any longer!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.
The energy unleashed by the Primordial Pearl was incredibly powerful, but its consumption was also terrifying.
If this drags on any longer, he might die of exhaustion before the other party even has to lift a finger!
"One move decides the outcome!"
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and poured all the spiritual power in his body, including the toxic energy transformed from the Primordial Pearl, into the Devouring Heaven Sword.
"Buzz!"
The Devouring Heaven Sword emitted a sword cry that shook the heavens and earth. The black light on the sword body instantly subsided, transforming into a simple, unadorned black line.
However, the terrifying power contained within these thin lines caused even the surrounding space to develop a tiny crack!
"Haotian Sword Technique, Return to One!"
Lu Xuan flashed and appeared above the Nine Netherworld Scorpion's head, gripping his sword with both hands and stabbing fiercely at its hard head!
"Pfft!"
This sword strike was both incredibly fast and incredibly powerful!
The Nine Netherworld Scorpion's indestructible carapace was as fragile as tofu in front of this sword, and was directly pierced through!
"roar……"
The Nine Nether Scorpion let out a low growl of unwillingness, its massive body convulsed violently a few times, the red light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and finally it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Huff huff..."
Lu Xuan drew his longsword, dug out the inner core of the Nine Netherworld Scorpion, and staggered back a few steps, panting heavily.
This battle almost exhausted all his spiritual power and energy.
They were almost about to use their trump card, which would have severely damaged their foundation.
"Your Highness!"
Su Qinghuan also broke free from the entanglement of the poisonous spider and rushed to Lu Xuan's side.
"Quick, let's go! Those spiders are swarming us again!"
Lu Xuan glanced around.
Although the Soul-Devouring Poison Spiders were stunned by the aftershocks of the previous battle, now that the Nine Netherworld Scorpion was dead, they immediately became restless.
And the quantity seems to be even greater than before!
"Walk!"
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, pulled Su Qinghuan up, and rushed towards another exit of the cave before the spider swarm could completely surround them.
As for that Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass...
Lu Xuan glanced back at the spirit herb that was still emitting a faint golden light.
In this situation, survival is the most important thing.
If you try to take it by force, you'll probably be overwhelmed by the endless swarm of spiders.
Lu Xuan murmured.
"Wait for me to come back!"
Then, without looking back, he rushed into the dark passageway.
The two ran wildly through the intricate underground passages for a long time until they completely shook off their pursuers before daring to stop and catch their breath.
Su Qinghuan looked around and saw that it was a much larger underground space.
The surrounding stone walls were covered with murals, exuding a mysterious aura.
Most strikingly, there is a huge stone gate not far ahead.
Above the stone gate are three ancient characters: Demon Suppression Hall.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the massive stone gate.
There is such a place hidden beneath the Valley of Broken Souls?
Su Qinghuan subconsciously moved closer to Lu Xuan, gripping her long sword tighter as she warily surveyed her surroundings.
"Your Highness, this place is extremely eerie."
"Moreover, the atmosphere here is somewhat similar to that of the Valley of Broken Souls above."
Lu Xuan's heart stirred.
Indeed, as Su Qinghuan said, the chilling atmosphere permeating this underground space is remarkably similar to the poisonous miasma that perpetually shrouds the Valley of Broken Souls.
However, this one is purer.
Lu Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.
Perhaps the reason why Broken Soul Valley became a forbidden zone is because a trace of what lies beneath it has been leaked to the surface.
If that's the case, then the things in this Demon Suppression Hall are probably extraordinary.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Lu Xuan stepped forward, placed his hand on the stone door, and tried to push it open.
Rumble!
A dull rustling sound rang out, and the long-sealed stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep and dark hall inside.
An extremely dense black mist surged out from behind the door, a hundred times more concentrated than the miasma above.
"Watch out, there's something wrong with this fog!"
Lu Xuan let out a low shout, and the Hongmeng Pearl within his body instantly activated, forming a black vortex around him that devoured all the black mist that was trying to erode the two of them.
Even so, Su Qinghuan still felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, and her protective spiritual energy kept making a hissing, corrosive sound.
"Trespassers, die!"
The moment the two stepped into the main hall, a hoarse roar came from the depths of the mist.
Then came heavy footsteps that shook the ground.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
As the mist swirled, several enormous figures appeared.
They were several heavily armored, demonic behemoths, some resembling rhinoceroses and others tigers.
Without exception, they all had empty eyes, burning with eerie ghost flames, and exuded a nauseating stench of decay.
On the backs of these colossal beasts rode skeleton knights clad in tattered armor.
