Stone Mountain was eerily silent.
Beneath an ordinary spirit tree, a faint purple glow was visible. Upon closer inspection, one could see the edge of an ore.
The three of them were each hiding in their own ways, waiting for the double – headed Armadillo to enter the traps set on Stone Mountain.
Lu Xuan was hiding in the bushes. Because of the presence of Qian Dinghong and Deng Yi, he used the earliest learned Concealment Method to hide his own breath instead of using the superior Rank Three Concealed Spirit Wear.
A rustling noise filled the air as a bizarre demon beast with two heads emerged from a spot not far from the ore. Its pair of grey-white eyes were restlessly scanning the surroundings.
The Demon Beast’s body was grayish-black, slender, and covered with dark scales extending from its neck to its tail.
The three of them, Lu Xuan included, patiently waited.
Slowly, three more double-headed Armadillos emerged from other places. Two were standing guard to the left and right, and one was lurking at the original spot. After the first one confirmed their safety, it was sometimes hidden and sometimes visible in the soil, slowly approaching the location of the Spirit Ores.
Suddenly, a pair of sharp claws burrowed out from the soil, grabbing the light purple ore.
“Act now!”
Lu Xuan heard Deng Yi’s command. He instantly unsheathed the Purple Lightning Sword, causing the scabbard to tremble incessantly.
At the Spirit Ores, a vine cage quickly sprouted from the ground, binding the double-headed Armadillo inside. Countless reversed thorns grew on the greenblackvines, piercing deep into its body,
Lu Xuan and Deng Yi each targeted an Armadillo standing guard. Another, lurking far away, showed a flicker of gray-yellow spiritual light on its body. It was about to burrow into the ground when a gray light hit it, freezing it in place. It fell to the ground and only returned to normal after a few breaths.
Qian Dinghong was holding a gray stone mirror at this moment. The gray illumination was emitted from the mirror.
One vine cage bound the Armadillo, while Lu Xuan and Deng Yi were each killing one. Qian Dinghong was on the side controlling the situation, ready to immobilize any Armadillos trying to escape with his Stone Mirror Magical Tool.
Fearing the Armadillo Demon Beast might escape from his hands, Lu Xuan’s attacks with his flying sword were continuous like spring rain, relentlessly invading like parasites.
Upon realizing that they were unable to shake off Lu Xuan’s sword intent, the double-headed Armadillo let out a low growl from its two heads. Hundreds of stone spikes burst out from underground, assaulting Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense detected the changes. His intent with the sword in his hand transformed swiftly, becoming ferocious and violent. The cross-cutting sword Qi cut down all the stone spikes.
The purple glow flashed on the Purple Lightning Sword, like a poisonous snake, a bolt of lightning sprang forth hitting the scale armor of the double-headed Armadillo, producing a sizzling sound accompanied by a smell of burning.
In this way, Lu Xuan had no need to apply other tactics. He merely relied on the unique properties of the Purple Lightning Sword and the layered transformations of the “Four Seasons Sword Art” to firmly control the doubleheaded Armadillo while continuously inflicting various types of damage.
The entire process was effortless and within his control.
Seeing that Deng Yi was about to take down the double-headed Armadillo, Lu Xuan commanded the abundance of spiritual power coursing through the Purple Lightning Sword. The sword intent was like a scorching sun in a clear sky, boasting flashes of lightning, and it fiercely struck the long heads of the demon beast.
The inherent violent nature of the Summer Day Sword Law, coupled with the power of thunder and lightning of the flying sword, reduced the heads of the double-headed Armadillo to ashes.
A combined attack was launched with Deng Yi against the double-headed Armadillo controlled by Qian Dinghong.
In the cage,
In the cage, seeing that it was in a fatal predicament, the trapped doubleheaded Armadillo’s body emitted a gray-yellow spiritual light. Its entire body expanded manifold. Ignoring the thorns deeply embedded in its abdomen, head, and cracked scales, it struggled out of the vine cage.
Before it could get far, a gray light hit it from a distance. A black long spear magical tool fell from the sky, pinning it down.
“Brothers, can we spare this double-headed Armadillo? I wish to capture it alive. After returning to the sect, I’ll raise it on the mountain,”
Sensing that this double-headed Armadillo was on the brink of death, Lu Xuan suddenly spoke out.
“Junior Brother Lu’s obsession with spirit beasts far exceeds my imagination. However, since my junior brother has made a request, we naturally have to comply.”
Qian Dinghong chuckled heartily.
Generally, when encountering demon beasts in blessed lands or secret areas, few cultivators wish to catch and rear them. However, Lu Xuan’s request was not too demanding, so the duo didn’t think too much of it.
Three two-headed armadillos were neatly arranged on the ground. Another one, slightly healed by Lu Xuan, was tied up with a rope magical tool and placed in front of the three dead ones.
Deng Yi and Qian Dinghong started processing demon beast materials.
On the two-headed armadillos, the most expensive part is the armor of scales all over the body, which can be used to forge high-grade defensive magical tools, followed by the claws, demon beast meat, and blood.
Lu Xuan, due to first getting a half-dead armadillo, received fewer demon beast materials.
He mostly took some demon beast meat and a small amount of juvenile scale armor.
“Do the two senior brothers have enough scales for forging magical tools? If not, you can use what I have.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“How can we…” Qian Dinghong and the others felt a bit embarrassed. More scales are always better, but it would be a shame to take what Lu Xuan had offered.
“It’s okay, I hadn’t planned to use them for forging magical tools anyway, but I will be taking the bones of these three two-headed armadillos,”
Lu Xuan said. Compared to the few scales, both the bones and the eyeballs were more valuable to him.
The bones could be used to cultivate Thorn Bone, and the eyes could be used as nutrients for the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, both of which are of third grade and effective.
“Okay, all these will belong to Junior Brother Lu.”
One feels obligated when accepting gifts from others. They easily agreed since the bone and the eyes were not the rarity on the two-headed juvenile.
After dividing up the spoils of war, Lu Xuan said goodbye to the two of them. Despite Qian Dinghong trying to retain him a few times, seeing Lu Xuan’s insistence, they didn’t try to force him, each going their separate ways.
Half an hour later, Lu Xuan reappeared in front of Stone Mountain and scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense.
With a wave of his hand, the severely injured two-headed juvenile appeared on the ground, tightly bound by the rope magical tool. The look in its eyes was half fear, half resentment towards Lu Xuan.
“How did it feel to personally witness the slaughter of your comrades?”
“You all went out together in search of treasure, only for your three companions to be killed. Your scales were brutally ripped off piece by piece, your flesh body cut into chunks, blood spilling everywhere. And all you could do was helplessly watch.”
Lu Xuan’s tone was full of mockery.
The two-headed juvenile had quite a high spiritual intelligence. Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the resentment in its eyes became stronger.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan held six blood-drenched eyeballs in his hand, each filled with an expression of unwillingness and immense pain.
Like holding walnuts, the six eyeballs slowly rolled around in his palm.
Seeing the bodies of its companions being so insulted, a strong gray-yellow glow emerged from the two-headed juvenile.
“If you want to kill me, then hate me, loathe me!”
“Then continue your miserable existence. Run, run, use your hatred to eliminate me!”
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
