Chapter 140: Biggest Winner

The seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra was sentient and cultivated sound path. Naturally, it overheard their discussion.

"Hehe, come have a go then!" The middle head laughed out loud.

The third head opened its mouth before chanting: "Eternal Sound, Demonic Tune!"

Great tremors rippled through the air as the earth quaked and clouds parted. Anything that was caught by the tremors imploded fervently.

"Ao Xiuzhen!" Houyan Meili called as the pink skulls that surrounded her flew towards the Myriad Heads Hydra.

"Hmm!" Thick branches of wood formed around the first head of the beast as it attempted to open.

Ao Xiuzhen grunted as the thick branches of wood pressed on each other. With a loud pop, the head burst like a balloon.

Slowly, the bloody stump regenerated into the head again.

"Be careful. Myriad Heads Hydras have poor regenerative for their bodies but the opposite is for their heads. You must stop it from regenerating" Lu Zheng explained.

Dong Wuan appeared above the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra and brandished his twin sabres as fast as lightning.

Strong sabre projections formed, slashing the air apart and creating trenches in the earth. The back of the Myriad Heads Hydra was lined with bloody cuts.

The seven headed beast roared in anguish as it opened its third mouth again.

"Not this time!" Ao Xiuzhen was quick to react as thick vines bound the mouth shut at once.

Earth rose from the ground, engulfing the legs and arms of the beast. It was sealed to the ground and could not move.

"Ahoo!"

In a fit of rage, it opened its first head and bombarded Gao Meng with massive thunder balls.

Nothing unexpected happened. Gao Meng was fried to a crisp and his soul was absorbed by Lu Zheng.

"Tch! Foul beast, die!" The pink skulls that surrounded Houyan Meili flew into three of the beast's heads as their pupils turned pink.

Smoke columns rose from them as the three heads began to attack the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra. It had lost control over three of its heads.

"Shhh!"

Dense breaths of icy air escaped the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra sixth mouth to freeze its third head that Houyan Meili had taken control over.

"Die!" Lu Zheng appeared above it and swung Mei Luan in a deadly arc.

His hands went numb as the red half of his sword shined brightly. A crimson arc cut down at the sixth head, beheading it at once.

Vermillion True Flames engulfed the incapacitated head and strong ice formed over the stump that was left of its neck. It was unable to regenerate.

"Roaaar!"

The beast roared in pain as its first head bit down on its second head, destroying it.

Ouyang Mu controlled his Qi as black puddles of water formed beneath the Myriad Heads Hydra. From the black puddles, translucent hands rose, pulling at the beast.

The soul of the beast was damaged severely as the translucent hands tugged at it violently.

Dong Wuan attacked with his twin sabres relentlessly as sabre projections fell like rain.

"I'll end this now" Lu Zheng held up his arm as strong wind Qi spiralled from it.

A pale white wave of condensed wind formed above him before cutting downwards towards the seven headed beast.

~Pulse Cutting Wave!~

The Pulse Cutting Wave was extremely sharp that even as it neared the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra, the beast had already began to cut.

In a flash, the seven headed beast was severed into two halves by Lu Zheng. With a thunderous thud, both halves of the seven headed beast slumped to the ground.

Dong Wuan quickly began his work, skilfully dividing the slain beast into several portions.

Lu Zheng used his Vermillion True Flames to burn the useless parts of the beast and Houyan Meili shared what was left.

"Big Brother Lu is quite strong" A woman praised. She knew that Lu Zheng was the main reason the beast was killed.

Without his battle strength, more people would have died.

"Ah, it is nothing" Lu Zheng chuckled as he held out his hand to Houyan Meili. "Meili, here are the beast's beast cores"

In his palms were seven large prisms each with seven edges. They glistened with multiple colours, appearing like priceless gems for jewellery.

Houyan Meili nodded and retrieved the beast cores from him. After sharing the beast parts and beast cores, she and the others left.

…..

Lu Zheng sat in his cultivation chamber with his legs crossed. In his palms were three beast cores.

One was a pale white hue with strong winds encircling it. Another was completely purple and just by holding it, Lu Zheng could feel the lightning Qi in the chamber thicken. The last was pale blue with faint snowflakes surrounding it.

The three beast cores were from the two Myriad Heads Hydras he had just fought and they were part of his rewards.

Other than the beast cores, Lu Zheng also had numerous high grade beast meat in his spatial ring from the Myriad Heads Hydras. He also had the bones of the beasts that could be refined into deadly weapons.

Also, his soul foundation had risen to the seventeen thousand man soul level from the thousand man soul level. The increase was by a very huge leap and on his own, Lu Zheng would have required months to reach it.

Even still, Lu Zheng did not consider all these as the greatest benefits reaped.

Lu Zheng stored the three beast cores in his spatial ring and willed out a forth beast core.

The beast core was a glistening white seven edged prism. Pure Qi radiated from it that the ambient Qi could not compare.

By merely holding it, Lu Zheng felt his thoughts shift faster and a sense of utter calm came over him.

This beast core was the mutated beast core of the seven headed Myriad Heads Hydra and was the reason Lu Zheng believed he was the biggest winner.
