Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

He had been following them silently for a day and a half.

BOOM!

Suddenly, that day, Xu Lei heard a loud noise up ahead.

It was a Six-tailed Demon Fox. Hui Cheng had actually found it!

Its tails fanned out, its body pulsed with Demonic Power, and it flickered in and out of sight.

Hui Cheng, on the other hand, wielded a string of Buddhist Beads and held a golden Zen Staff, clashing relentlessly with the Fox Demon.

As for Hui Cheng’s Monk son, he wasn’t joining the fight at the moment.

He just watched from the side, having retreated a considerable distance.

This was obviously Hui Cheng’s intention.

He didn’t want his son’s Magical Power to be depleted.

He would handle it himself!

Xu Lei also held back for the time being.

He just watched, wanting to see if Hui Cheng could take down this Fox Demon.

It would be best if they both ended up grievously injured.

That way, Xu Lei could be the oriole waiting behind, ready to claim the spoils.

But things rarely go as planned.

The Fox Demon was surprisingly strong.

And while Hui Cheng wasn’t weaker than his opponent, he couldn’t secure a quick victory.

"Father, I’ll help you!"

Seeing this, Hui Cheng’s eldest son finally made his move, sending a Magical Artifact—a Treasure Disc much like Xu Lei’s Lotus Treasure Fragments—hurtling toward the Fox Demon.

His Cultivation wasn’t very high, after all, and controlling more Treasure Discs at once would only weaken their power.

So he focused all his energy on a single one to maximize its strength.

After all, he didn’t intend to be the main attacker, but simply wanted to help Hui Cheng disrupt the Fox Demon.

They fought like this for another full half an hour.

The Fox Demon had sustained some injuries.

Ultimately, it was just a bit weaker.

But that old bastard Hui Cheng showed no signs of flagging at all!

’If this keeps up, that old man Hui Cheng is really going to get his hands on this Fox Demon!’

Xu Lei frowned. ’Setting aside the fact that this Fox Demon has been cultivating in the mountains, its morality unknown...’

’I just can’t let that old bastard Hui Cheng benefit from this and get stronger!’

’Looks like it’s time for me to make my move!’

Even if Hui Cheng did manage to take down the Fox Demon...

...he would probably give the resulting Demon Core to his son.

But it was also highly likely that Hui Cheng would stay by his son’s side, acting as a Dharma Protector while he refined the Demon Core.

Xu Lei would have no opportunity to strike.

It was better to act now and prevent Hui Cheng from gaining anything!

He would slay Hui Cheng’s last son and make him feel a pain that pierced his very soul!

"Go!"

Xu Lei brought two fingers together and pointed.

His Lotus Treasure Fragments immediately and silently moved toward Hui Cheng’s son.

As they drew near...

Hui Cheng was still fighting the Fox Demon, and he landed another blow that made it cough up blood.

Meanwhile, Hui Cheng’s son was still remotely controlling his Treasure Disc to help his father against the Fox Demon.

He didn’t sense the approach of Xu Lei’s Lotus Treasure Fragments at all.

At this point, Xu Lei didn’t wait for his Lotus Treasure Fragments to get any closer by skimming along the ground.

Once he got within a certain range, the target, also having Magical Power, would surely notice something.

So, upon reaching the absolute limit of that range...

"Suppress!"

Xu Lei immediately activated the black alms bowl, releasing a beam of golden light to suppress Hui Cheng’s eldest son.

SHING SHING SHING!

In that instant, the Lotus Treasure Fragments erupted forth, slashing toward their target!

SHLICK SHLICK SHLICK!!!

SQUELCH!

Hui Cheng’s eldest son had no chance to struggle.

He had only just begun to react when Xu Lei’s Lotus Treasure Fragments frantically sliced through his defenses and slit his throat!

It was almost exactly how Hui Cheng’s younger son had died.

"Hm?"

Just then, Hui Cheng noticed the commotion. He glanced over his shoulder while still fighting the Fox Demon.

His expression instantly contorted in anguish, and he let out a despairing roar, "NO!!!"

BOOM!

At the same time, his Magical Power surged violently from his body.

His entire body shot forward like a cannonball.

He completely abandoned the Fox Demon and charged back toward his son.

Xu Lei hadn’t even had time to fully retrieve his Lotus Treasure Fragments.

They were still on their way back to him.

And now, Xu Lei’s expression had also changed drastically.

Because as Hui Cheng rushed over...

...the string of Buddhist Beads in his hand was already hurtling toward Xu Lei.

Infused with Magical Power, it swelled in the wind, growing as vast as a mountain, as immense as the sea.

BOOM!

As it flew, it tore through the air with a deafening roar!

The trees and grass in the area around Xu Lei were bent flat by the formless pressure of its Qi!

"Retreat!"

Of course, Xu Lei was already on his Locust Leaf Flying Ship. The moment he retrieved his Lotus Treasure Fragments, he flew backward at top speed.

BANG!

CRACK! CRACK!

HISSSS!

As Hui Cheng’s Buddhist Beads landed...

...countless trees snapped where Xu Lei had been standing, and the turf was ripped from the ground.

Stones were sent flying by the shockwave.

"Hm?"

The Fox Demon watched in astonishment.

Of course, it didn’t hesitate for a moment. It immediately turned and fled in the opposite direction.

After all, Hui Cheng had just injured it. If it didn’t run now, when would it?

"My child!"

Hui Cheng now arrived at his son’s side.

He watched as blood gushed from his son’s neck.

Tears welled in his eyes, his face a mask of profound grief and rage.

This was his last child!

At his age, he might never be able to have another!

He never imagined that now, this one would be murdered too!

"I’ll kill you!"

With a furious roar, Hui Cheng surged with Magical Power and shot off in Xu Lei’s direction, giving chase.

’What Realm is this old bastard in now?’

Xu Lei felt the disturbance behind him and couldn’t help but shudder. ’So ferocious?’

At this moment, Xu Lei knew he was definitely no match for Hui Cheng!

Fortunately, however, Xu Lei discovered that his Locust Leaf Flying Ship was quite fast!

Although that old bastard Hui Cheng was stronger than him, it seemed he couldn’t catch up to Xu Lei.

"Old bastard!"

So, as Xu Lei fled, he shouted back at Hui Cheng, "How many people have you murdered? How many people’s Cultivation resources have you stolen?!"
