Chapter 227 - 118: The Mei Clan and Heroic Spirit
Xu Lei was momentarily taken aback.
He hadn’t expected this Enchantress to actually piss its pants.
But some Demons were bold, and some were timid.
This was perfectly normal.
After all, they were intelligent beings, just like humans.
Xu Lei wasted no time.
He sent the Lotus Drill whistling through the air toward it.
But while this Enchantress was timid, its Cultivation was surprisingly solid.
It actually managed to erupt with Demonic Power and dodge Xu Lei’s Lotus Drill in an instant.
Of course, Xu Lei immediately shook the Bell, commanding the Human Puppets to charge forward.
The two Human Puppets attacked fiercely with their long sabers, cutting it down on the spot.
They snatched away its Demon Core.
As for the Golden Staff in his hand, Xu Lei hadn’t used it against this Enchantress.
He was saving it for the other three.
The commotion here had already been enough for the other three Enchantresses to pinpoint Xu Lei’s location.
And just as expected, the three Enchantresses’ attacks came blasting toward him.
But Xu Lei was already prepared.
He abruptly swung out the Golden Staff Dharma Shadow in his hand.
BOOM!
It directly blasted apart all the attacks the three Enchantresses had launched.
He had stopped them from rescuing the one that had been separated.
Then, without waiting for them to attack again, Xu Lei abruptly retreated.
He once again hid himself within the black fog.
The three remaining Enchantresses were now enraged to the point of madness.
They had seen seven of their companions killed in a row!
Their eyes were all bloodshot with fury.
"Human, we will not rest until you are dead!"
"If you have any guts!"
"Tell us your name!"
They roared one after another.
"Hahaha, and what if I do?"
Xu Lei laughed heartily. "I am Hui Cheng, and I make no secret of it! The one who will kill you is me, Hui Cheng!"
As he spoke, Xu Lei moved through the black fog, circling around to a different position.
He was preparing to ambush them.
JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE.
Xu Lei first activated the Bell, sending the two Human Puppets to attack.
The two Human Puppets had been refined by Qi Yang using an Ancient Evil Technique.
Their bodies had been refined to be as tough as metal and stone.
They were powered by Yin Energy.
The energy from the remains of the Demon Spirits and Demons he had killed earlier had mostly been supplied to the Human Puppets by Xu Lei.
Moreover, since Xu Lei was controlling the Human Puppets, he also channeled the Array’s energy to empower them when they attacked.
As a result, the two Human Puppets’ combat strength was far greater than before.
This was also why the two Human Puppets had been able to instantly kill two Enchantresses with a surprise attack earlier.
BANG! BANG!
This time, however, the ambush failed.
The two Human Puppets had just charged forward...
...when the large, heavyset female Enchantress slapped one of them away.
The other one, the tall and slender female Enchantress, also struck out with a claw shadow formed from Demonic Power!
It sent the other Human Puppet flying.
Of course, at that moment, Xu Lei made his move again.
"Go."
Xu Lei sent the Lotus Drill stabbing forward.
BAM!
But the strongest of them, the Male Enchantress, threw a punch that blasted the Lotus Drill backward, causing it to partially disperse.
He was indeed quite strong.
"Die!"
But Xu Lei’s next attack followed immediately.
BOOM!
The massive Golden Staff Dharma Shadow smashed down toward them.
The Golden Staff was an overbearing type of attack.
In fact, it was the most suitable weapon to use in conjunction with this Array.
Therefore, this strike was incredibly ferocious.
THUD.
However, the three Enchantresses formed a triangle, their Demonic Power linking together to conjure a shield of sinister scales, and they managed to withstand Xu Lei’s attack.
Of course, the strongest one, the Male Enchantress, seemed fine.
But of the two female Enchantresses beside him, one’s face had turned pale, while the other had a trickle of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth.
"Hui Cheng, if it weren’t for this strange Array, with your level of Cultivation, I, Mei Xiong, could tear you apart with one hand!" the strongest Male Enchantress snarled.
"I, Mei Ying, will kill you!" the large, heavyset female Enchantress added.
"I, Mei Li, as well!" said the tall, slender one.
The words they spoke were all in human language.
They were speaking it intentionally so that Xu Lei could understand.
’Their surname is Mei... perhaps because they are Enchantresses.’
’These intelligent Demons often learn from humans and give themselves names.’
’The names they choose often resemble human ones.’
’According to legend, all cultivation civilizations were originally spread by human Immortals and Buddhas.’
’That’s why Demon Spirits, the more they cultivate, the more human-like they become.’
’Most Demons take pride in being able to cultivate a human form.’
"Let’s see how long you can last!"
Even though they had blocked his attack, Xu Lei wasn’t worried.
After all, he was backed by Hui Ming’s incredibly powerful Array. His energy consumption was far less than that of these Demons.
In a prolonged battle, these Demons would surely be the ones to die at his hands.
Besides, seeing that one of them was already coughing up blood, it was clear they couldn’t hold out for much longer.
"Die!"
With that, Xu Lei beckoned with his hand, recalling the Lotus Treasure Fragments.
He decided not to use that technique for now.
Instead, he prepared to focus all his power on attacking with the Golden Staff Dharma Shadow.
Of course, he didn’t recall the two Human Puppets.
He had them lie in ambush nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"You think you can kill us? You’re not strong enough!"
But unexpectedly, at that moment, the strongest Male Enchantress flipped his hand over, and a Talisman appeared in his palm.
As he activated it, his expression was utterly ferocious, yet his voice was filled with pained reluctance.
"You forced me to use the Talisman gifted by our ancestor! Hui Cheng, you will die for this!"
As the Talisman flashed, a mysterious energy emerged around his body.
It was faint and hazy.
It was even a bit uncomfortable for Xu Lei to look at.
Within that energy, the figures of the three Enchantresses began to flicker in and out of existence.
