#315 - Lou Xueyun was beheaded for a hundred years
#315 - Lou Xueyun was beheaded for a hundred years
Lou Xueyun had not yet made his move.
Zuo Lengchan's anger was like a raging fire in the ice, ready to erupt.
With a flick of his finger, an ice cone, condensed with extreme coldness, pierced through the air, whistling sharply as it shot straight for the forehead of Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet.
"Li Chengfeng, you despicable villain, relying on a bit of luck to escape time and again! If Xue Qingchen hadn't intervened, you would have been a pile of dirt long ago! Today, I'll let your substitute puppet taste the bitterness of failure!"
The ice cone accurately pierced into the puppet's body, and everyone thought victory was assured. However, the puppet remained still, like a lifeless wooden doll, allowing itself to be slaughtered.
However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, it was as if some kind of power within the puppet had been detonated, and the ice cone instantly shattered, turning into a sky full of ice shards, scattering in all directions.
Everyone was shocked and quickly used their divine sense, trying to probe into the puppet's remains to get a glimpse of what had happened.
Their divine senses surged like a tide, trying to uncover the secret of Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet. Even knowing just the basics of its creation process would be a huge gain.
At this moment, an extremely strange sword energy suddenly erupted from the puppet's remains, its speed as fast as lightning, invisible and formless, aimed directly at Lou Xueyun.
Lou Xueyun was immersed in analyzing the puppet's structure and did not expect this change. By the time he noticed it, it was too late to dodge.
"This…" Lou Xueyun's face changed drastically. He was already physically and mentally exhausted, and his injuries had not yet healed. At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
He tried his best to mobilize the remaining power in his body to defend, but he was still one step too slow.
"Swoosh!" The sword energy pierced through the defense Lou Xueyun had hastily erected. Although it did not directly hit a vital point, it still made his body shake, and his face turned even paler.
The surrounding powerhouses were shocked when they saw this. They never expected that this seemingly harmless substitute puppet would hide such a fatal killing move, and its target was Lou Xueyun.
"Good, Li Chengfeng, you can even set up a trap to injure people with a substitute puppet!" Lou Xueyun endured the pain, his eyes wide with anger, and he gnashed his teeth.
He knew that although this sword energy was not fatal, the humiliation and provocation it contained were more intense than any substantial damage.
The other powerhouses also looked at each other, secretly vigilant.
They began to re-examine this seemingly dead Li Chengfeng and his mysterious substitute puppet.
Obviously, this young man was more cunning and dangerous than they had imagined.
"Hmph, Li Chengfeng, although your strength is low, your methods are impressive.
However, you will eventually die, and your secrets will eventually fall into our hands!" Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly.
A flash of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind to dig out all of Li Chengfeng's secrets.
Suddenly, Lou Xueyun's roar echoed in the air, and his change moved everyone present.
The white hair and wrinkles in that instant seemed to be a rapid loss of his life force, directly showing the irreversible damage caused by this sword.
As a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he should have had a long lifespan, but because he had used the Heavenly Fate Technique, his lifespan was not long, leaving only six hundred years.
But at this moment, because of this sudden attack, he lost nearly a hundred years of his life.
"Li Chengfeng! You despicable villain, how dare you plot against me like this!"
Lou Xueyun's voice was full of anger and unwillingness. He knew the importance of lifespan to cultivators, as it was the foundation for their pursuit of immortality.
Now, this foundation had been ruthlessly weakened, making him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
The surrounding big shots looked at each other, all shocked.
Old Ancestor Qingyun, with his profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, said, "Such a strange and direct attack on lifespan is unheard of.
Li Chengfeng, this Foundation Establishment cultivator who was originally insignificant in our eyes, is now showing a terrifying threat."
"This… how is this possible?" Old Ancestor Tianyao muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.
They began to reassess Li Chengfeng's strength and wisdom, realizing that this young man might be hiding even more unfathomable secrets.
Anger, shock.
Qi Wenlong said, "Although this sword is strange, it is not without a price.
Li Chengfeng must have put in a lot of effort and sacrifice to set up such a sophisticated killing move.
Moreover, such methods obviously cannot be used indefinitely, otherwise he would have already killed Lou Xueyun."
"Hmph, Li Chengfeng, although your methods are ruthless, you are still too young.
When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely tear you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Lou Xueyun vowed, gnashing his teeth, his eyes flashing with the flames of revenge.
The tragic situation in Jinfeng City was like a living hell, with the lives and souls of tens of thousands of loose cultivators being ruthlessly devoured, turning into Lou Xueyun's stepping stones for advancement.
This scene was of no concern to the sect leaders present. In their eyes, these loose cultivators were just insignificant existences in the cultivation world, like chives, which would grow again after being cut.
Their indifference and selfishness.
Old Ancestor Tianyao's anger was difficult to suppress.
"I originally wanted to use Yaoqi's spatial talent to transform my spatial blade into a spiritual treasure, but now it has fallen short!"
Old Ancestor Tianyao's voice was full of unwillingness and resentment.
His spatial blade was originally his proud work, and once it devoured Yaoqi, it could restore its former glory.
However, all of this was broken by the appearance of Li Chengfeng.
Qi Wenlong's words carried a hint of coldness: "All of these changes originated from Li Chengfeng.
We must formulate a plan to completely eliminate this threat. He must have more secrets and treasures waiting for us to discover."
Old Ancestor Qingyun nodded, his eyes flashing with greedy light: "Especially his strange secret technique of cutting lifespan, I must obtain it.
Such a secret technique is enough to make me invincible in the cultivation world."
However, Old Ancestor Tianya raised an objection: "No, that cutting lifespan technique is too powerful, and I am determined to get it.
Moreover, Lou Xueyun will definitely not sit idly by, he has lost a hundred years of his lifespan."
Lou Xueyun's face became even more gloomy when he heard this: "This hatred is irreconcilable. I will not only take revenge, but also obtain that secret technique. It should belong to me, as compensation for my loss."
For a time, there was a fierce dispute among the crowd, all vying for the unknown secret technique and treasure until their faces were red.
However, Xue Qiankun interrupted their quarrel in time: "Enough! It's too early to say this now.
We haven't even touched Li Chengfeng's shadow, and we're already arguing here, wouldn't that be laughable?
The top priority is to find him first, and then talk about the distribution."
Everyone calmed down when they heard this. They realized that they were indeed blinded by greed and had overlooked the most important task - catching Li Chengfeng.
Old Ancestor Qingyun said in a deep voice: "Li Chengfeng is cunning and tricky, and he is indeed troublesome.
Now that Jinfeng City is in trouble, we can use this to blame him, spread his notoriety throughout the world, and say that he is the culprit of this tragedy.
With his terrifying explosive power, coupled with our embellished rendering, we will definitely make him bear the infamy of a great demon and have nowhere to hide.
In this way, he will inevitably show his flaws, and we will have the opportunity to catch him all at once."
Zuo Lengchan gnashed his teeth when he heard this: "Just one step away! If Xue Qingchen hadn't intervened, I would have succeeded long ago.
The hatred of my Hanbing Mountain Han clan is irreconcilable. If I don't avenge this, how can I stand? I must get the treasure, and I must get a share of it!"
Lou Xueyun coughed lightly, and his complexion improved slightly after taking the medicinal pill. He sighed and said, "There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end. I must go back to seclusion.
Resolve the hidden dangers in my body and try to restore my vitality. Next, I will also use the power of the Heavenly Fate Technique. I don't believe I can't curse him to death!"
