Chapter 185 - 107: Gains and Dismemberment
He could only manage to form a Dharma Seal!
And struck out with his palm!
Magical Power coursed through his palm, manifesting as a swastika seal!
It slammed into the sharp claws of the ambushing Charming Demon.
BOOM!
As the two attacks collided, the resulting explosion of energy sounded like a torpedo detonating.
CRACK!
Xu Lei’s face twisted.
He had heard the sound of bones shattering in his own forearm!
In just an instant, all the bones in Xu Lei’s right forearm were shattered!
His entire right forearm went limp, hanging uselessly at his side!
"Argh!"
As his body shot backward, Xu Lei couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. He twisted his head, veins bulging on his neck as he fought to suppress the excruciating pain.
But just then, the corpulent Charming Demon was already charging toward Xu Lei again.
"Up!"
Xu Lei’s expression changed.
Stomping his foot, he channeled Magical Power to his feet, generating a powerful thrust that sent his body shooting backward. At the same time, he drew out the black alms bowl with his left hand.
He threw it out before him!
VMMMM!
The black alms bowl flew up, emitting a glow, and transformed into a bell-shaped barrier that enveloped Xu Lei!
BOOM!
But this Charming Demon’s attack was also ferocious.
Its sharp claws raked across the bell-shaped barrier, causing the light shield manifested by the alms bowl to dent and crack!
’So strong?’
Xu Lei’s pupils contracted!
A sense of impending death arose in his heart!
This large, corpulent Charming Demon was exerting an unparalleled pressure on Xu Lei!
Its eyes now glinted with intense hatred!
It wanted to tear Xu Lei to shreds!
Of course, the defensive power of the black alms bowl was still very strong.
Fueled by Xu Lei’s Magical Power, the alms bowl’s light shield was constantly regenerating.
But the Charming Demon’s next devastating attack came once again!
The black alms bowl’s light shield dented again, on the verge of shattering.
’It can probably only take a few more hits before it shatters for real!’
Seeing this, Xu Lei didn’t dare to linger any longer.
He stepped onto the Locust Leaf Flying Ship and instantly shot away!
WHOOSH!
Xu Lei poured all his power into the Locust Leaf Flying Ship!
His figure blurred, becoming a phantom image!
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
But the Charming Demon behind him was also extremely fast.
A single leap covered five or six meters; its jumping ability was terrifying!
Sometimes it would leap onto a large tree, its weight snapping the trunk on impact!
And then it would resume its ferocious pursuit!
’Faster, faster, faster!!!’
Xu Lei glanced back, his Magical Power surging once more as he continuously pushed the Array inside the flying ship to operate.
HSSS!!!
Seeing that its speed was no match for Xu Lei’s, the large, corpulent Charming Demon behind him couldn’t help but roar.
It was furious and unwilling to accept it.
After all, during their clash just now, it had sensed that Xu Lei’s actual strength was inferior to its own.
He had only managed to resist for a moment by relying on Magical Artifacts.
And now he was using another Magical Artifact to escape.
At a speed even faster than its own!
But speed was indeed its weakness!
Of course, just as Xu Lei thought he was about to escape with his life...
FWOOSH!
Suddenly, the Charming Demon behind him took out what looked like a Command Arrow and shot it into the sky!
The arrowhead of its Bow and Arrow was engraved with Runes that stored Demonic Power.
The moment it reached the sky, it exploded!
’It wasn’t the only one?’
Seeing this, Xu Lei’s heart sank.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!
At that moment, Xu Lei could already feel potent Demonic Power surging from several other directions in the distance!
BOOM!
To his front and right, Xu Lei even saw a figure that looked like an Enchantress on the horizon.
Riding a black cloud, it was flying over at great speed!
’I’m dead for sure this time!’
Seeing this, Xu Lei understood immediately.
He spent his days hunting, capturing, killing, and refining Demons!
Now, he had inevitably hit a steel plate and was about to be killed by Demons in return!
This was one of the difficulties on the path to attaining eternal life!
Although capturing and refining Demons could aid his cultivation, one moment of carelessness could also get him killed by them!
If it were any other Cultivator?
They would be completely finished this time.
Forget about pursuing immortality.
At this point, Xu Lei also figured something out.
He now understood why the Charming Demon he had killed before was so audacious!
It had repeatedly tried to turn the tables and hunt him!
Apparently, it had quite a background among the Demons.
Or perhaps it had been spoiled since it was young!
’Locust Leaf Flying Ship, faster, faster, faster!’
While these thoughts raced through his mind, Xu Lei was still speeding away frantically.
He immediately made several sharp turns!
And managed to shake off the large, corpulent Charming Demon that had been relentlessly pursuing him.
But Xu Lei didn’t head for the city.
The distance was too great.
Even on the Locust Leaf Flying Ship, he would likely be surrounded and killed before he could make it.
So right now, Xu Lei wasn’t thinking about escaping with his life.
Instead, he wanted to hide the Treasures he had on him.
If he was really going to die, at least the Demons couldn’t be allowed to loot his Treasures.
Xu Lei dove into a cave.
He found a hidden spot.
Then he put all his Treasures—the Lotus Treasure Fragments, the black alms bowl, the Locust Leaf Flying Ship, the Human Skin Mask, and the Puppet-Exorcising Bell—into a Qiankun Cloth Bag.
He even took out the Phoenix True Flame from his body.
He placed it inside a Jade Bottle, which he then also put into the Qiankun Cloth Bag.
Then, he buried the Qiankun Cloth Bag deep in the ground.
Only then did Xu Lei emerge from the mountain cave.
He stepped onto the Flying Sword he had obtained from that Old Daoist Nun.
And flew away using Sword Control.
He flew wildly for another thousand meters!
And arrived at another mountain.
By now, Xu Lei saw that several more powerful Charming Demons had already arrived nearby.
’Did I just kick the Charming Demons’ nest?’
Xu Lei couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Of course, Xu Lei had no intention of dying just yet.
He once again hid inside a winding cave in the nearest mountain.
Preparing to hide within!
