Chapter 862: Chapter 860: Thunderous Extermination

One following the other, they entered the courtyard.

Lu Xuan brought out a plate of Spirit Fruit and poured Zheng Xing’an a full cup of Ice Marrow Spirit Brew.

“Not bad, such Superior Quality brew can only be freely enjoyed at Friend Lu’s place.”

Zheng Xing’an took a big sip of the chilly Ice Marrow Spirit Brew and nodded in approval.

“Daoist Zheng, you patrol the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave every day and can be said to be on the front line against the Evil Demons. How is the situation now?”

After some idle chat, Lu Xuan spoke up and asked.

...

“Overall, it’s getting worse. Evil Demons keep springing up endlessly. As soon as you kill a group, a new batch appears, making them impossible to completely fend off.”

“There’s even talk of Evil Demons silently infiltrating the areas where Loose Cultivators live. Friend Lu, you must be more vigilant in your daily life.”

Zheng Xing’an said with a grave voice.

“Thank you for the reminder, Daoist. However, Lu Mou is merely a minor Spirit Plant Master and is usually law-abiding. I doubt the Evil Demons will find their way to me.”

Lu Xuan Laughed.

“Haha, there’s some truth to what you say, Friend Lu.”

Zheng Xing’an followed with a laugh and raised his White Jade Wine Cup towards Lu Xuan.

“There’s not much Spirit Fruit left; I’ll go get some more for you, Daoist Zheng.”

Lu Xuan glanced at the plate on the table, stood up, and walked towards the house, his back very casually exposed in front of Zheng Xing’an.

Underneath his armor, Zheng Xing’an’s eyes flashed with a cruel and excited glint.

Suddenly, his face split open rapidly and a black light filled with an eerie aura shot out like lightning, heading straight for Lu Xuan’s head.

“What’s the matter, Daoist? Can’t wait to have a taste of Lu Mou?”

As if he had been prepared for some time, streaks of Golden Spirit Thunder shot out from Lu Xuan’s body like wild snakes, hitting the eerie black light thoroughly.

“Ah?! What’s this?!”

On contact with the Golden Spirit Thunder, the black light melted away like snow under the scorching sun, letting out a painful howl.

“So you were prepared all along!”

Zheng Xing’an’s armor disintegrated, revealing a body covered with fierce faces.

All the faces stared intently at Lu Xuan, who was slowly turning around, and simultaneously let out sharp cries of various pitches.

Then, the scene before Lu Xuan’s eyes suddenly blurred, and his spirit became momentarily hazy. In that instant, hundreds and thousands of fierce faces launched at him from all directions, trying to invade his body.

Unfazed, Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness blazed with a bright star, its faint starlight sweeping past, instantly restoring clarity to his mind.

A Deep Purple Jade Mirror shot out from his Dantian, accompanied by bunches of Thunderfire, falling precisely on each face like flowers scattered by a heavenly maiden.

“Ahhh!”

Suddenly, the Cave Abode was filled with continuous agonizing wails.

The Seventh Grade Southern Ming Thunderfire Mirror, with a trace of Southern Bright Departing Fire hidden within, was extremely effective against the Evil Demon, and once attached to the faces, it burned them away instantly like a Clinging to the bone affliction.

“Is this… a Seventh Grade Treasure Item?”

Staring at the Deep Purple Jade Mirror floating in front of Lu Xuan and feeling the terrifying presence of the purple flames, Zheng Xing’an spoke out in disbelief, his body showing signs of disintegration.

“Aren’t you just a Spirit Plant Master? How could you possess such Strange Treasures?”

Lu Xuan snorted coldly without answering. A pair of Silver White Wings appeared on his sides, and with the Sprint Thunder Momentum, he reached Zheng Xing’an before he could react.

He then reached out to grab him.

A clear phoenix cry rang out, and a huge fiery hand phantom descended from the sky, grabbing the escaping Evil Demon’s body.

The hand was covered in Red Gold light, as if cast from glazed crystals, containing terrifying might, rendering the Evil Demon completely immobile.

“How is it not reasonable for me, a Spirit Plant Master, to prepare a few treasure items for self-defense so I can farm in peace?”

Lu Xuan spoke coldly, his thought moved, and the several beams of Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder struck like lightning, circling around Zheng Xing’an.

Instantly, the body of the Evil Demon bore numerous cracks, like a deflated balloon, and in a moment, it turned into a shriveled skin sac.

Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept over to confirm there were no abnormalities before he approached the skin sac.

“Occupying and possessing who knows how many Cultivators’ bodies, it actually benefited the Colorful Corpse Skin within the Abyss Star Cave.”

“Once this Demon’s skin sac is digested and absorbed, it should yield a Superior Quality Spirit Plant, thereby also producing a better Light Cluster reward.”

“Having eaten so many of my Spirit Fruits and drunk several cups of my Spirit Brew, it’s only fair it provides some return.”

A smile emerged on Lu Xuan’s face as he reflected.

In dealing with the sneak attack of this Evil Demon, he had been forewarned of its identity, made precautions in advance, and took the initiative, even deploying several High Rank Treasure Items.

The collected Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder, the Southern Bright Thunderfire Mirror refined to a Middle Rank Magical Treasure, and the Glazed Red Phoenix Bone completely fused into his body.

Thus, he effortlessly killed this Evil Demon, which had easily possessed the body of a Sky Star Cave Guard, without breaking a sweat.

“It’s just that the Demon-Purging Spirit Thunders have been somewhat depleted.”

Lu Xuan gathered the distant seven beams of Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder and could clearly see that the color of the Golden Spirit Thunder had dimmed compared to the beginning.

“However, it also confirmed the control effect of the Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder on Evil Demons.”

The activation of the Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder was faster than his use of the Five Thunder Righteous Method, didn’t consume Spiritual Power, and had a restraining effect on Evil Demons, making the collection of more extremely useful.

“Seven beams of Demon-Purging Spirit Thunder could easily handle an Evil Demon with Core Formation strength, what about a hundred, or even ten thousand?”

Ideas whirled through Lu Xuan’s mind.

After tidying up the scene, he summoned the Cloud Leopard.

“You performed quite well just now.”

Lu Xuan took out an Enchanted Immortal Peach and threw it to the Cloud Leopard.

“Ao~~”

The Cloud Leopard’s voice contained a hint of satisfaction as it passed by Lu Xuan, its ear tips adorned with clusters of grey and white fur slightly curved, forming a heart shape.

“Haha.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, reached out to pet it, and let the Cloud Leopard return to the forest.

“Evil Demons have already infiltrated the Loose Cultivators’ living area, it seems I’ll need to be more vigilant from now on.”

He reflected inwardly. Since his last trip to the Abyss Star Cave, when he accidentally learned that a Cultivator from the White Bone Palace was actually possessed by an Evil Demon, he had formed the habit of checking information about others any chance he got.

After all, it only took a moment of focus and was much more discreet than probing with Spiritual Sense.

“If I waited for the Demon Envoy to ambush before responding, I might get scratched, a minor injury perhaps?”

With his current strength, he didn’t need to worry about ordinary Evil Demons, but being cautious was still better.

“I just want to farm peacefully, why disrupt me?”

Lu Xuan shook his head, his thoughts returning to a state of tranquility, and he entered the Spirit Field again to examine every Spirit Plant in detail.

“Is Lu Xuan, Friend Lu, in the Cave Abode?”

“An Evil Demon has recently intruded into the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, ambushing and occupying the bodies of guards in this area. I’ve come to check things out.”

“To ensure Friend’s safety, and also to find that Evil Demon.”

Suddenly, a gentle voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

“Again?”

Lu Xuan’s eyebrows raised.
