Chapter 223: The Master of Mingyue Sect is Kind
"Luo... Sect Master Luo..."
The city lord's lips were trembling, his body was fixed in place, unable to even tremble, only his head was free. He said in fear: "I, I know I was wrong, I beg the sect master to have mercy, please spare my life..."
He couldn't understand why, since they were all cultivators, there was such a huge gap between them when they fought?
He has dominated this Sha City for five hundred years. During these five hundred years, countless immortal cultivators have knelt at his feet, and many geniuses with excellent spiritual roots have been brutally killed by him. He also killed a friend in the Jindan period and put his friend's golden elixir into his own body to nourish it, so he could also exert the strength of the Jindan period.
The Lord of Sha City has always felt that he is invincible in the entire Sha City, because the group of guards in the city have all practiced a technique called "The Art of Ten Thousand Demons Working Together". Their auras are connected, their techniques are interconnected, and they cooperate with each other very well. As long as enough guards are gathered, killing a Jindan-stage cultivator is as easy as killing a chicken.
As for the Lord of Sha City himself, he was practicing the "Devil's Heart-Absorbing Art". His technique naturally restrained this group of guards. Even if tens of thousands of guards came together to deal with him, he could easily win because of the absolute suppression from his technique.
It is no exaggeration to say that this group of guards is equivalent to the blood replenishment station of the City Lord. When he is seriously injured and dying, he can drain the vitality of the guards.
However, Lord Sha City knew that he could not suck some of the guards dry in front of everyone, otherwise the remaining guards who were not dead would realize that there was something wrong with his technique.
Those guards with resolute personalities will give up their own skills on the spot. Even if there are timid guards who are reluctant to give up their own skills, they will no longer stay here obediently and will definitely try their best to escape.
By then, people's hearts will be scattered.
The Lord of Sha City would never let such a thing happen, so he had a backup plan. He erased the memories of one hundred guards who practiced the "Ten Thousand Demons Heart Technique" and imprisoned these one hundred guards in a secret room in his room, put them into a deep sleep, and used spirit stones to maintain their physical activity.
Once the Lord of Sha City dies, the vitality of these one hundred guards will be drawn upon, thus "resurrecting" him.
These one hundred guards are only enough for him to revive ten times.
Therefore, half of the fear on Sha City Lord's face was fake, because he firmly believed that he would not die and he had ten chances to resurrect.
No, in fact it's more than ten times. The worst result is that he absorbs the vitality of the guards around him in public. Tens of thousands of guards are enough for him to be resurrected many times. Although people's hearts will be scattered, as long as he is alive, everything can be done again.
No matter how powerful Sect Leader Luo is, the spiritual power in his body is limited. You can kill him once, twice, or hundreds of times, but can you kill him thousands of times?
But for some reason, even though he had so many trump cards, the Lord of Sha City still felt uneasy, always worried that he would really die today.
Because today is the day when the poisonous insect matures.
The poisonous insect that Sha City Lord spent five hundred years of hard work to cultivate is his reliance for advancing to the Golden Core Stage.
The road to becoming an immortal is difficult. When advancing to the Golden Core Stage, one is bound to encounter disasters. The Lord of Sha City was still wondering yesterday what his disaster would be. The entire Sha City was built by him like an iron barrel without any weaknesses. Even if the leaders of the three major sects came, he was sure that he could escape unscathed. Unexpectedly, only Sect Master Luo came today.
But Luo Mingyue alone brought heavy oppression.
The Lord of Sha City couldn't figure out Luo Mingyue's background for a while, so he decided to give in first to see if Luo Mingyue would be fooled.
He promised: "As long as the Sect Master releases me, I am willing to respect you as my master, and from now on this Sha City will be your territory!"
Luo Mingyue said nothing and directly used his sword to cut off his other arm.
"damn it!"
The face of the Sha City Lord was as pale as paper. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of pain. It would be fine if Luo Mingyue chopped off his arm in one go, but Luo Mingyue first cut off his flesh and blood and then cut off his arm. It can only be said to be slightly better than lingchi, because lingchi requires a lot of cuts, and Sect Master Luo is lazy and not so meticulous, so he only cut a dozen times at most.
“Okay, okay, since you don’t want to say anything, don’t blame me for being rude!” The Sha City Lord shouted angrily, then turned his head and looked at the man leading the guards, and said, “Cang Ying, use the Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifice to kill these people!”
"Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifice" is the name of a spell with immense power. Once used, it will drain all the spiritual energy of the guards. The book says that even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage will die under this attack. However, there are no cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in the world, so it is impossible to verify whether the contents of the book are true or false.
In addition, the more powerful the spell, the more obvious its shortcomings. The disadvantage of "Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifice" is that it takes a long time to charge, and the guards cannot move during the charging process. Most people will not stand stupidly in the circle of guards waiting for the spell to be completed, but Sect Master Luo looks very conceited and should not run away.
Cang Ying said: "But you and the other young masters and young ladies are also within the range of the formation..."
"Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifice" does not distinguish between friend and foe. Once the spell is completed, it will indiscriminately attack everyone in the encirclement.
The Sha City Lord said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, you just need to follow orders!"
Hearing this, Cang Ying no longer hesitated. He formed seals with his hands, and all the guards followed suit. The spiritual power in their bodies surged out and formed a vast ocean.
Yun Jinshu looked worried, "This Ten Thousand Demons Festival, it sounds very powerful..."
Yun Xiangsi asked nervously, "Master, why don't you cut off the tongue of the Sha City Lord?"
Luo Mingyue replied: "Because I am a kind-hearted person, I cannot bear to see such cruel scenes. If he loses his tongue, he will not be able to scream. Then when I bully him, I can only see his hideous expression and the blood all over the ground. It feels very scary."
The Sha City Lord sneered, "Good-hearted? This is really the best joke I have ever heard. If you really have a kind heart, you should let me die..."
Luo Mingyue continued to raise his hand, controlling the long sword to chop off the two legs of the Sha City Lord, then turned to his disciples and said: "Also, don't learn from me in the future. After you catch the enemy, you should stop talking nonsense, just chop off the head with one knife, and then pierce the heart and dantian with a few knives. It is best to destroy the spiritual meridians as well, cut the grass and root it out, and prevent future troubles. Don't dawdle, it is easy to wait for the enemy's reinforcements, and then let them escape, which will be troublesome."
Bai Tian asked: "Then why didn't Master kill him quickly?"
Luo Mingyue said: "Because my spiritual sense covers the entire Sha City, I found that the crimes committed by the city lord of this Sha City are simply heinous. Killing him directly would be too easy for him. I have to treat him well."
Luo Mingyue deliberately emphasized the word "entertain".
The Sha City Lord shouted, "Impossible! The range of your spiritual awareness cannot be that large. My city is comparable to a kingdom in the human world. There should be a limit to your boasting in front of your disciples. You actually dare to say that your spiritual awareness covers the entire area. What a joke!"
The Lord of Sha City knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and Luo Mingyue, so he simply cursed him harshly to anger Luo Mingyue, and maybe he could give him a quick death. He was in so much pain that he wanted to commit suicide, but the problem was that once he wanted to bite his tongue or self-destruct, he would be stopped by an invisible resistance. Only speaking, turning his head, breathing, blinking, etc. were not affected, and he could not do anything else.
The eyes of the Sha City Lord were red, and he said sarcastically: "I never thought that the leader of Mingyue Sect was a woman who was full of big words. What is the number one in the world of immortal cultivation? Pah!"
Luo Mingyue's heart was calm.
"Father..." When the children of Sha City Lord saw the miserable state of their father, their eyes were all red. Although Sha City Lord's methods were cruel, that was towards outsiders. Sha City Lord was particularly kind and generous to his children. He provided his children with several life-saving trump cards.
"Master Luo, please stop torturing my father. If you have anything to say, come to me!" At this time, the city lord's eldest son said. Luo Mingyue glanced at him and said, "It is you who likes my two female disciples?"
"Yes, so what?"
Luo Mingyue said: "You have a good eye."
After saying that, he gouged out the other person's eyes.
"Ah!" The city lord's eldest son covered his face with his hands, blood flowing out from between his fingers. He knelt on the ground, buried his head, and whimpered uncontrollably.
He and his brothers and sisters have lived a life of luxury since childhood and have never suffered any hardship. He admired his father very much and in order to train his mind, he had personally tortured many cultivators. His father praised him for his perseverance and bravery, and he was very happy. He felt that he was really brave. Not only could he face blood, but he had also killed so many innocent people with his own hands. Who would have thought that this kind of pain would one day fall on him?
Luo Mingyue said disdainfully: "You are already such a grown-up, yet you are still crying."
A trace of heartache flashed in the eyes of Sha City Lord, and he scolded his children, "All of you shut up, get out of here, and don't come over here!"
He had suffered enough, so there was no need to make his children suffer as well. He said, "Master Luo, this is a grudge between the two of us, don't involve the younger generation."
Luo Mingyue said lazily: "Don't worry, I don't want to dirty my hands, and..."
The Sha City Lord asked: "And what?"
Luo Mingyue said: "It suddenly occurred to me that some things don't have to be done by ourselves, we can let others do it for us."
The Sha City Lord had a bad feeling in his heart, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Mingyue did not answer, but destroyed the cultivation of the city lord's children and placed restrictions on them so that they could not commit suicide. Then, he threw them to the group of cultivators kneeling on the ground.
"Here, these few people are given to you to deal with."
The immortal cultivators were immediately excited. They had suffered too much in prison, and some of them had even been tortured by the city lord's son and daughter. Now that the enemy was right before their eyes, how could they not be excited?
Soon, the city lord's children began to cry, wail and curse.
The City Lord's heart was broken, "Cang Ying, what are you hesitating about! Is the Ten Thousand Demons Festival not ready yet?!"
Cang Ying was sweating profusely, and he trembled as he said, "City Lord, the [Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifice] we cast has failed!"
"What do you mean?"
The Sha City Lord looked back and saw that the guards' spiritual power had been drained out. Many of the guards collapsed on the spot, unable to even stand. Some of them were bleeding from all seven orifices. This was a sign of excessive use of spiritual power, which had led to the extraction of vitality.
The Lord of Sha City raised his head again, and saw the majestic spiritual power rolling and surging in the sky, forming dark clouds, but these clouds were condensed and did not move, gathering in the sky, and were reluctant to fall.
Luo Mingyue snapped his fingers.
"Snapped--"
With the crisp sound of snapping fingers, the spiritual clouds in the sky dissipated with the wind, leaving no trace.
"It's gone... it's gone now..."
The goshawk looked up at the sky blankly. He broke out in a cold sweat and silently took several steps back, trying to stay away from Luo Mingyue.
“You…Aren’t you in the Golden Core Stage, but the Nascent Soul Stage?” The City Lord was filled with despair. At this moment, he finally realized that Luo Mingyue was an existence that he could not contend with. He smiled bitterly and said, “Master Sect Master, I admit defeat today, but I have a treasure map in my hand. I want to use it to exchange for my life. What do you think…”
He had just said half of this sentence when Luo Mingyue chopped off his head.
The limbs and head of the Sha City Lord on the ground were chopped off, but at the moment of his death, some mysterious power gathered in his body, and a huge vitality fell on his head along the invisible traction.
The part below the neck began to wriggle and grow.
After a while, the Lord of Sha City was resurrected on the spot with healthy limbs.
Luo Mingyue said: "It's a really interesting spell, but unfortunately I'm tired of it. I'm too lazy to torture you anymore, so I'd rather just give you a quick death."
After saying that, Luo Mingyue ignited the divine fire of life.
The flames were extremely hot, and the flames swept across, directly burning the entire body of the Sha City Lord into ashes.
At this time, the torso of the Lord of Sha City began to wriggle again, and with the influx of countless life forces, limbs and a head grew out of the torso.
Luo Mingyue set fire to it again.
This time, she also burned all the remains on the ground. This time, she wanted to see how the Lord of Sha City would be resurrected.
I saw a head growing out of thin air on the ground, and then the bones, flesh, internal organs, etc. under the head gradually completed and grew into a complete person.
"Master Mingyue, you can't kill me! Give up..."
Before he could finish his words, he died again.
The Lord of Sha City can be resurrected many times, but nothing can be perfect. Once he dies, he will automatically resurrect on the spot. He cannot delay the time of resurrection, nor can he change the location.
Luo Mingyue did not feel tired. After finishing the experiment with the Life-Bearing Divine Fire, she no longer used fire, but instead used a long sword, and chopped off the head of the City Lord with a whoosh.
This process continued many times, so many times that Luo Mingyue himself could not remember how many times he had killed the Lord of Sha City. The Lord of Sha City was resurrected faster and faster, because the ten lives in his secret room had been used up. Now that he was resurrected, he absorbed the energy of the guards present.
The guards fell one by one.
Someone shouted:
"Have you noticed that as long as the city lord is resurrected, some of our brothers will fall!"
"I counted, at least ten brothers fell at a time..."
