Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

The gap was too great!

The gap with the latter was already significant.

The gap with the former was even greater!

That was why, three years ago, Xu Lei had been injured by the latter in a single strike, his arm instantly shattered!

And when the former had hurled a massive rock at him, it had shattered bones throughout his body.

He had been virtually powerless to resist.

That Male Enchantress could absolutely be considered a Great Demon!

Although in this era, Demon Spirits had to disguise themselves to walk in the Mortal World, it didn’t mean there weren’t powerful beings among the Demons.

Even though Xu Lei had ten thousand lives and could expend them to resurrect on the spot, if he had tried to wear down those twelve Enchantresses by sacrificing his lives back then, it would have been incredibly difficult.

He might have had to sacrifice dozens, even a hundred lives, just to wear them all to death.

Over nine thousand lives was a lot, but if he was so reckless as to just throw them away every time he met an enemy he couldn’t beat, Xu Lei’s path to immortality would likely be a dead end.

After all, he would encounter more and stronger enemies in the future that he couldn’t defeat.

Besides, even if Xu Lei had been willing to sacrifice a hundred lives to fight them to the death, he probably wouldn’t have been able to kill all of them in the end.

After all, once they realized he could strangely keep resurrecting, they would have likely begun to retreat.

With the disparity in Cultivation between him and them, he wouldn’t have been able to forcibly keep them there.

If they wanted to escape, they would certainly flee into the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

There, they could hide within the swamps.

They would become even harder to kill.

Not to mention, there were even more Great Demons there.

For Xu Lei to charge in there recklessly with his current Cultivation would be extremely unwise.

That was why Xu Lei had simply allowed them to kill him.

By doing so, the Ten Thousand Lives Book was not exposed.

Those Enchantresses had no idea that Xu Lei was still alive!

And he now knew what they looked like!

Now, the tables had turned. Xu Lei was in the shadows, and they were in the light!

Of course, if they never entered human cities and stayed in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh forever, knowing their faces wouldn’t help Xu Lei do anything to them.

The Great Demons hid there precisely because it was a treacherous and mysterious place.

Not even the Buddha’s Head would casually go there to hunt Spirit Monsters.

"I’ll take it slow."

Xu Lei stood up and stretched. "Spirit Monsters and their kind naturally have much longer lifespans than the Human Race.

But their Cultivation is much slower!

I can afford to wait!

If one lifetime isn’t enough, I’ll wait for many lifetimes!

One day, I will slay every last one of those Enchantresses and refine them!"

He had finished refining the Demon Core.

After that, Xu Lei could only rely on time, cultivating slowly.

Unless he could find more Spirit Monsters to capture and refine.

But Spirit Monsters either hid in treacherous places like the Eastern Wilderness Marsh or lurked with extreme caution in the Mortal World.

Encountering a few foolish Demons sometimes really came down to luck.

So, Xu Lei warned himself not to be impatient.

「One day.」

Xu Lei felt like rewarding himself, so he went down the mountain for a feast.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished eating and was preparing to return to the temple, he suddenly saw that the prearranged signal lantern had been hung outside Young Master Zhao’s restaurant again.

"Hm?"

Xu Lei said, "Could it be that they’ve actually found a trace of Hui Cheng this time?"

Although Xu Lei had died once, Young Master Zhao and the others didn’t know.

Thus, the Zhao Family naturally continued to help Xu Lei search the world for traces of Hui Cheng, just as before.

But in the past three years, they still hadn’t found him.

「Half an hour later.」

Xu Lei once again transformed into Hui Tan and arrived at Young Master Zhao’s restaurant.

"Living Buddha!"

Young Master Zhao said with a smile, "We’ve found one of the people you’re looking for!

Look, it’s him!

A disciple of my Zhao Family sent a message by carrier pigeon!

They said this person appeared in the Anqing area!"

"What?"

Xu Lei took the portrait and looked at it, unable to help but ask, "You actually... found him?"

At this, Xu Lei was surprised, but also delighted.

Because the one Young Master Zhao had found this time wasn’t that old geezer Hui Cheng.

It was one of the Enchantresses!

Back when Xu Lei was killed and then resurrected, he had naturally sketched the faces of those twelve Enchantresses.

His sketches, a style from Earth, were far more detailed than traditional ink wash portraits.

Although over a hundred years ago, this drawing technique was the unique skill of Divine Monk Wu Tan.

But Divine Monk Wu Tan had been famous throughout the world for so many years, and his artwork had been sought after for just as long.

So, the natives of this world had long since managed to imitate this drawing style.

Otherwise, fakes of the portrait Xu Lei had drawn of Wei Qingning would never have appeared.

Therefore, when Xu Lei used this technique to draw the portraits and gave them to the Zhao Family, the Zhao Family didn’t suspect any close connection between Xu Lei and Divine Monk Wu Tan.

They simply agreed to have their family disciples keep an eye out for them across the land.

And this time, they were to be even more discreet!

After all, the previous search for Hui Cheng might have been discovered by that Demon Consort because they weren’t secretive enough.

Of course, three years had passed.

Not only had they failed to find Hui Cheng, but they also hadn’t found a single one of the twelve Enchantresses.

Thus, Xu Lei hadn’t held out much hope before.

He had assumed all twelve Enchantresses were being cautious, hiding in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh and not entering the Mortal World.

He never expected that the Zhao Family’s disciples would actually find one now!

This was a Male Enchantress. He wasn’t burly, nor was he particularly tall.

He had about the build of an average person.

Among the twelve Enchantresses, he was probably one of the weaker ones.

His rank was likely low as well.

When they killed Xu Lei, he hadn’t said much.

He only chimed in when the other Enchantresses were discussing how to torture Xu Lei.

Then he had pounced, wanting to suck out Xu Lei’s Essence Qi.

At that moment, Xu Lei remembered this Enchantress was on his left side.

And after Xu Lei bit down on the poison to kill himself, when his consciousness was watching the outside world through the Ten Thousand Lives Book, he saw that this Enchantress was one of the ones who hacked at his corpse most viciously!
