Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"Let’s see how long you can last!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Young Master Zhao’s guards changed once again.

They all recognized it—it was the Demon Consort’s voice!

Young Master Zhao, in particular, was deathly pale!

He realized he had fallen into a trap!

And in doing so, had led Xu Lei into it as well.

Clearly, the Demon Consort hadn’t given up.

She hadn’t dared to return for the Fourteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Princess Consort, afraid she’d be ambushed by masters from the Buddhist Sect.

Instead, she had continued to scheme from the shadows.

She had even managed to learn the description of the person the Zhao Family was seeking.

Then, she’d used the tactic of luring the snake from its hole.

All to lure Hui Tan here.

Judging by the churning currents outside, it was clear this Demon had a special aptitude for Water Control.

Xu Lei’s expression was also grim.

The ancient texts he’d consulted before hadn’t mentioned anything about an Enchantress being skilled in Water Control.

But from the looks of it now, this particular Enchantress was definitely empowered by the water!

’Come to think of it, the Fourteenth Prince’s manor was also built next to water.’

’Back at the manor, the Demon had likely only suspected that Xu Lei was a Cultivator.’

’But she hadn’t dared to move against him in front of the Fourteenth Prince and the estate’s Government Soldiers.’

’After all, the Government Soldiers, being human themselves, would have likely ganged up to destroy her.’

’That’s why she’d chosen to wait until Xu Lei had left before forging an order for the Government Soldiers to hunt him down.’

’But the Government Soldiers had only feigned compliance, so her plan failed.’

’After that, she’d feigned fear and pretended to retreat.’

’She wanted Xu Lei to chase her.’

’If Xu Lei had chased her...’

’Once he reached the lakeside, she could have launched a vicious attack.’

’But Xu Lei hadn’t given chase.’

’So her plan failed once more.’

And so, she had orchestrated this deadly ambush!

At this moment, Xu Lei understood that he had indeed been careless.

After all, the Demon Spirits he’d encountered in the past had all been terrified of Human Cultivators.

They usually fled the moment they were discovered.

He never expected that this Charming Demon, despite having the chance to escape, would choose not to.

Instead, it had laid one deadly trap after another for him!

It even knew to fake traces of Hui Cheng to lure Xu Lei here.

Life is unpredictable.

Though Xu Lei was a Transmigrator living his second life, he wasn’t omniscient or omnipotent.

Of course he could fall for a trap.

It was impossible to account for every single contingency.

The only thing to do now was to remain calm and face his enemy with everything he had.

So, Xu Lei said nothing.

Nor did he rush to counterattack.

Instead, he reached out, pulling the old boatman and Young Master Zhao closer.

Then, he instantly shrank the protective radius of the black alms bowl until it enveloped only himself, Young Master Zhao, his guards, and the old boatman.

After all, he didn’t know how profound this Enchantress’s Dao Practice was.

It was better to consolidate his defenses first.

"AHHH!"

"NOOO!"

"NO!"

Without Xu Lei’s protection, the family of three was instantly ensnared by the hair-like currents.

Their bodies were sliced apart in an instant!

SLUUURP!!!

Just then, a deathly pale, alien-like figure emerged from behind the currents. It opened its mouth, and a long tongue uncoiled.

With a whoosh, it sucked all three of their corpses into its maw.

It was the Charming Demon!

Young Master Zhao and the others stared at the Charming Demon’s inhumanly pale face and the fangs in its mouth. Seeing it devour the family of three, a cold chill shot through each of them.

That’s right. Xu Lei had not sheltered the family of three.

The young boy had repeatedly been disrespectful toward Xu Lei.

And his parents had been far too indulgent.

Naturally, Xu Lei had no favorable impression of them.

Xu Lei wouldn’t kill them over a child’s thoughtless insults.

But he wouldn’t protect them, either.

The old boatman, who had remained silent, was someone Xu Lei was willing to protect.

Of course, upon seeing the family’s fate and then realizing they themselves were still alive, the others on the boat felt a wave of relief, which was quickly followed by worry.

They didn’t know if Xu Lei could defeat this demon.

If Xu Lei was defeated, they would be next.

At that moment, Xu Lei made his move.

"Suppress!"

Xu Lei didn’t use the Lotus Treasure Fragments first. Instead, he abruptly threw out the Evil-Subduing Buddha Chain.

This Buddha Chain had the power to suppress demonic Qi!

It had even suppressed that strange Black Seal before!

This Enchantress was brimming with Yin Qi, so Xu Lei figured the chain would be effective against it as well.

VMMMM!

The Buddha Chain flew into mid-air. As power flowed through it, it manifested as a massive strand of Buddhist Beads.

BOOM!

It came crashing down on the Charming Demon’s head!

The currents it had whipped up instantly exploded.

The water rained back down onto the lake’s surface.
