Chapter 471: Corpse Liberation Immortal
The electric light spread like wandering dragons, rapidly extending through that cloud-like giant hand and expanding towards the enormous body.
BOOM!
A great explosion resounded.
The massive human figure composed of bats suddenly dissipated.
Black smoke rose everywhere, and the entire cave trembled, with the bat corpses falling like rain.
"Power of Heavenly Thunder!"
The pupils of the bat demon contracted to an extreme, revealing a fear from the depths of its heart.
Although the power of heavenly thunder unleashed by the lightning-struck wood was far from reaching the level of heavenly retribution, it was already overwhelming for a demonic creature.
"Who are you, and why can you wield the power of heavenly thunder?"
The bat demon no longer looked at Lu Fei with disdain but instead with much more wariness.
"You can't even survive a lightning tribulation. How dare you call yourself an immortal?"
Lu Fei did not respond, simply gazing indifferently at the bat demon in mid-air, his young face full of contempt.
"I see, this virtue cup would be of no use to you anyway."
His words were filled with the utmost ridicule.
The bat demon's scarlet pupils flickered, its gaze becoming extremely unsightly.
"Arrogance!"
"You insignificant mortal, how dare you spout such insolent words before this celestial!"
"This celestial was willing to give you a chance to repent, but since you seek death, don't blame this celestial for breaking the precept of no killing!"
On the expressionless, aged face, the black mouth gradually opened.
A mass of black fog brewed within it.
Unbeknownst to it,
the black umbrella had quietly flown to its back!
"Roar——"
The sound waves rushed toward Lu Fei like a tornado.
In the black fog, it seemed as if there were countless invisible blades, and wherever they went, everything turned to fragments.
The moment the bat demon opened its mouth, Lu Fei immediately sprinted towards the distance.
Bang!
The sound wave exploded behind him, sending debris flying and instantly leaving a large crater on the ground.
Lu Fei rolled forward, his back hit by the debris, causing a sharp pain. He paid no attention to it, got up, and continued running.
Aaaah!
The bat demon's mouth wide open, one wave of sound after another, closely pursuing Lu Fei.
Lu Fei's head was buzzing. He kept rolling and jumping, doing his best to dodge. Although his actions were clumsy, he remained calm inside.
He did his best to attract the bat demon's attention.
Meanwhile, the black umbrella quietly sought an opportunity to control the bat demon.
Just one chance would be enough!
The entire cave was shaking and quaking.
Luo Xingfa, hiding in the corner, even with his ears tightly covered, still felt like his insides were being stirred up, making him nauseous and wanting to vomit, with blood already dripping from his nose.
The small black dog was desperately burrowing into his arms.
Bang, bang, bang!
The bat demon's eyes turned scarlet as it attacked with all its might.
A person capable of wielding the power of heavenly thunder was far too dangerous for it!
It felt a deep sense of pressure.
Even if it meant incurring the wrath of heaven, it had to eliminate this person!
Aoooo——
It howled desperately, spewing out clouds of black fog.
The mortal, though scrambling and rolling in a very miserable state, was always just a step ahead of the sound waves.
After hundreds of years of cultivation, could it still not subdue a mere mortal?
Anger welled up in its heart.
Unbeknownst to it, strands of black hair were silently climbing up its thin wings, and then, they suddenly pierced through the thin membrane of its wings.
"What?"
By the time it realized what was happening, both of its wings had been bound by the black hair, and it was immediately dragged down by the strands.
"Well done, Little Umbrella!"
The sound waves ceased. Lu Fei turned around, looked up into the sky, and smiled.
The magical energy was surging wildly.
On the lightning-struck jujube wood staff, the power of thunder and lightning erupted.
"To actually ambush this immortal! Despicable and shameless!"
The bat demon flapped its wings with all its might, trying to take flight again, but the black umbrella clung to it tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.
A demon and an umbrella were in a standoff in the air.
"Here's my chance!"
Electric light illuminated Lu Fei's stern face. Seizing the opportunity, he struck without the slightest hesitation.
Boom!
Electric light shot out.
The dazzling light reflected in the bat demon's crimson pupils. It was truly panicked now, desperately opening its mouth wide.
Black fog spewed out.
But the lightning was like a sharp sword slicing through the darkness, cleaving the black fog and striking it right in the face.
It frantically swung the black umbrella, trying to escape.
Red flowers bloomed one after another on the black umbrella, giving it no chance to escape.
Boom!
Lightning exploded on its bizarrely slender body, and the black hair instantly retracted. The bat demon screamed as it fell like a kite with its string cut, landing awkwardly.
Lu Fei rushed over.
After the bat demon landed, it struggled to flap its wings, flying up a few meters in a wobbly manner before falling down again, powerless.
Its whole body was enveloped in black smoke, and its wing membranes were riddled with holes from the black hair.
"Celestial Blessing Immortal, you are truly noisy!"
Lu Fei walked over, stepped on its body, and took out the bronze mirror.
The black umbrella obediently hung by his side.
Without its piercing noise, the world was finally peaceful.
The cave was now riddled with holes, littered with dead bats and fragments of rock.
Luo Xingfa, hiding in a corner, loosened his hands from his ears, his clothes drenched in cold sweat as if he had just been pulled out of water.
His entire world was still spinning, hovering on the brink of unconsciousness, yet he murmured instinctively: "Hao Hao, Hao Hao..."
Little Black wriggled out of his arms, paused for a moment, then stumbled towards Lu Fei.
The bat demon, gravely injured by the lightning wood and now under Lu Fei's foot, was powerless to fight back.
"You, a demon, could have stayed here and cultivated quietly. Why did you need to borrow the life force of the living?" Lu Fei glared at it coldly.
"A demon? I am not a demon... I am an immortal..."
The bat demon's eyes were wide open, its mouth full of blood, and a voice out of control emanated from its body.
"What immortal borrows lifespan from mortals? You're really getting into your act, aren't you! I'll make you snap out of it right now!"
Lu Fei's face turned stern as he aimed the bronze mirror at the bat demon's face.
"No, no..."
Ripples began to spread across the blurry mirror surface.
The bat demon shook its head desperately, a look of unprecedented terror in its eyes.
Lu Fei pressed down on it firmly with his foot.
On the mirror's surface, the face of a withered old Taoist gradually emerged.
The old Taoist had a very bitter expression, his countenance filled with worry.
Lu Fei couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Isn't it a monster? How come the reflection is an old Taoist priest's face?
He examined it carefully.
He found that the old Taoist priest in the mirror was exactly the same as the old face on the bat monster's body.
Which one is the true face of this old monster?
Lu Fei stared intently.
"No, no——"
A voice filled with unwillingness came from within the bat monster. The instant it saw the old face in the mirror, a desperate light shone in its scarlet eyes.
A faint golden light rose from its lean and bizarre body and flew into the bronze mirror.
On the back of the mirror, the five bats suddenly writhed in pain, then quickly turned to ashes, leaving only the character for 'longevity'.
The old face of the bat monster visibly withered and aged at a rapid pace.
"It seems that Yang Shou has returned."
Lu Fei let out a slight sigh of relief, looking at the bat demon with suspicion.
"What exactly are you?"
"I am an immortal, I have attained immortality through corporeal release..."
