Wang Kang panicked as he urged all the divine power within his body, layers of blue lotus scale armor emerging. His form withered like the lotus leaves of autumn and winter, but what replaced it was the increasingly grotesque bloom of blue flesh on his head, visibly swelling.
The tightly closed bud opened, revealing a horrifying sight: For more chapters visit novel[f]ire.net
What caught the eye was a pale blue skull, wrapped around the brain, its features blurred, the eyeballs hanging by a thread, with the remaining flesh on its face rapidly dissolving.
Everything was becoming nourishment for the flesh lotus.
"Blue Lotus Envoy, kill him!"
Wang Kang’s voice was weak as a thread, followed by his last breath.
The force of the wind whistled as his Dark Force cracked!
Chenzhou’s fist came smashing down, shattering the skull. The flesh lotus, controlling Wang Kang’s corpse, rose up again. Its petals opened and closed, biting straight for Chenzhou.
Chenzhou retreated swiftly, kicking back against an old willow tree, his right leg sweeping around in a large reversing cyclone kick, lashing like a whip and undulating like a dragon. The sinews and bones in his body roared, igniting all his Dark Force in an instant!
The devastating force poured out!
The rushing monster was sent flying. At the same time, gunfire erupted from all around, sniper bullets all entering Wang Kang’s body, blasting apart flesh and blood everywhere.
Officer Ren, leading his men, surrounded the monster, calling for backup:
"Director Lu, I need you to send a nearby Martial Artist. This mutation in Wang Kang is deeper than our intelligence suggested, he’s turned into a monster after death."
This monster’s strength was roughly at the Ninth Rank of Martial Artists.
But its Evil Skill could ignore protective gear, which made it troublesome.
Officer Ren was worried that Chenzhou and the others wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Lufang’s calm voice came through:
"There’s a Martial Artist on the scene, Ren, don’t worry, nothing will happen... Even if you don’t trust Chenzhou, you should believe in the Perfection of the Arhat Skill. Selecting this mission as a trial, I wouldn’t allow any accidents to occur."
Officer Ren looked all around but saw no one.
Nevertheless, she believed in Director Lu.
All the other Cultists and Black Knights had been subdued.
Everyone on the scene watched Chenzhou struggle with the monster.
Wang Gang was astonished.
"Chenzhou’s strength... could it already be at the Tenth Rank?"
Liu Ying, entangled with Wang Kang, knew all too well how difficult he could be.
Not to mention the terrifying creature that had mutated after death.
And now, Chenzhou was still holding the upper hand.
Wang Gang said enviously:
"Arhat Skill at Perfection is a complete qualitative change."
Chenzhou, like a bullfighter, dodged all the attacks of the lotus-head monster by swiftly moving about. After another daring rush and dodge from the creature’s lunge, his right elbow delivered Inch Force upwards, his Dark Force exploding at Wang Kang’s chest, blowing him ten feet away.
He rushed forward, using the Tiger Claw to lock the monster’s left hand, and the Fist Blade slashed down again. A cracking sound followed as the prosthetics, along with the arm attached to it, were forcibly severed by him.
The prosthetics fell to the ground, sparking erratically.
The monster instinctively grabbed Chenzhou’s shoulder with its right arm, its lotus head blooming wide, trying to swallow Chenzhou alive. Chenzhou slipped out using the Yin Yang Umbrella Spin Force, tossing the monster aside by leveraging its momentum, then connected with a stooping Phoenix Eye Fist, the Dark Force concentrating at one point to explode.
After a sharp crack, the monster was fiercely sent flying against the wall. Chenzhou followed with an arrow step leap, his flying knee strike bursting its chest cavity, his fist breaking upward just as the monster’s lotus head attempted to bite him, his claws piercing into the flesh.
Lu Chenzhou ride the momentum to chop down, tearing off a petal from the monster.
The monster howled in pain, its vigor greatly diminished.
"So that’s how it is."
Lu Chenzhou calmly dodged the monster’s kill attempt, then took a Shock Step backward and, using Swallow Form Dark Force with a precise effort, returned the attack and his fierce Straight Punch once again stabbed the Fist Blade into another of the monster’s petals. His figure leapt up, hooking the monster’s head with his claw, and the Yin Yang Umbrella Spin whirled down like a windmill, accompanied by a thunderous crash as the monster was slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and another petal was torn off by Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou fought with increasing ease, not feeling tired in the slightest. Aside from the monster’s tough skin and flesh, it only knew how to release its petals and lotus seed attacks, similar to Wang Kang, a deadly threat to others but incapable of breaking his Golden Body’s defense.
In terms of raw strength, it was far inferior to the Blood Feather Demon of Wind Wave Forest.
A quarter of an hour later, only a solitary petal remained atop the monster’s head; it was pinned to the ground by Lu Chenzhou’s foot, its last petal torn off by the Fist Blade.
The monster’s body burst into blue flames, and Lu Chenzhou quickly performed backflips to avoid them. In a trance, it seemed as though the phantom of a giant blue lotus flower emerged amidst the flames.
"Master of the Blue Lotus, cleanse the world!"
Moments later, all that was left was a pile of ashes and a cracked statue. Lu Chenzhou glanced at it and immediately felt an evil energy rising, so he promptly diverted his mind.
The stuff of cults was too sinister.
With his Cultivation, he needed to stay well away.
He shook his body, clearing the dust from his person.
Looking at his shredded clothing, he thought to himself,
"Fighting is too hard on clothes."
Mainly, it was because wearing armor on the outside just didn’t look good, or else he wouldn’t even want to wear clothes.
Exhaling a long breath, he looked over at Officer Ren,
"Officer, it’s over."
Officer Ren snapped back to reality, hastily nodding,
In the abandoned factory.
On the rooftop, Li Gui ended his Heavenly Pile Cultivation.
His breathing was steady, and beads of sweat on his forehead rose like mist.
"It ended so quickly, Chenzhou really had no problems."
"Such a level of combat is far from his limit."
That night, Li Gui had been watching over the place, grateful that his Heavenly Pile Cultivation wasn’t disrupted. For him, it wasn’t a waste of time. It was a good chance to assess the success of Lu Chenzhou’s recent cultivation; so far, it looked very successful.
"Truly, the makings of a Golden Body, the Defense Power is formidable."
Shaolin’s Hard Qigong, unparalleled in the world.
The path Chenzhou chose seems right. Since it doesn’t hinder his Martial Arts Breakthrough Realm, he can thus cultivate both internally and externally, sweeping through unbeatable opponents consistently.
Moreover, the country now tends to support Cross Training.
This policy is favorable for Chenzhou.
This is the alignment of time, location, and human harmony!
Learning early is not as good as learning cleverly.
Watching Lu Chenzhou and the others get into the police car and drive off, heading to Pingjiang Police Station, Li Gui leapt up and disappeared into the night, speeding towards Stone Lake.
