Chapter 306: Evil Arts (2)
The countenance of General Tiger Dragon instantly became extremely unsightly.
"What the hell is this!"
Its face turned pale, it directly opened its mouth and vomited out the thing that was crawling out of its throat.
Afterwards, what appeared in the sight of everyone was a set of completely bloodstained and scarred white bones, which was the rabbit demon servant that had been swallowed earlier by General Tiger Dragon.
However, the bones that had already been chewed to pieces were now miraculously pieced together. Although they were covered in cracks, a thin level of bloody membrane attached to the surface of the bones was controlling this grim skeleton which was constantly running and rushing towards the giant dragon.
It looked like a fierce ghost crawling out of a tomb to take lives.
The eerie scene frightened General Tiger Dragon to his core.
Even among the demons, who has ever witnessed such an eerie sight?
A corpse that was chewed up, swallowed, and now crawled out of its belly, was still screaming and rushing towards it for its life?
General Tiger Dragon opened his blood-filled mouth, full of sharp fangs, and spewed a blaze of fire directly onto the skeleton of the rabbit demon maid.
However, a strange and eerie scene occurred.
When the dragon's all-consuming true fire spewed onto the eerie white bones, it was unable to immediately melt them away. Despite being engulfed by the true fire and receiving a tremendous impact, the white bones struggled violently several times before being flung out by the immense force and crashing heavily outside the palace.
However, after being thrown out, although the white bones still maintained their complete appearance, the level of blood on the surface was already filled with cracks. Strands of sinister and evil energy emanated from the cracks of the bones.
Feeling the strange and sinister evil death qi, both Xiao Juechen and General Tiger Dragon's faces changed.
This evil qi is so pervasive!
Even when they had reached the level of cultivation as high as theirs, feeling this sinister and evil energy, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
In the palace, there was a sudden moment of silence.
The imposing General Tiger Dragon's eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty, to the extent that he even prepared himself to flee.
While Xiao Juechen anxiously looked at Lu Heng for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Heavenly Demon Lord had stopped and had no plan to continue his attack.
Hastily, he said, "The Evil Lord's techniques are so powerful, truly defying the laws of heaven and earth. It's an eye-opening experience for me… Impressive, truly impressive!"
Xiao Juechen's words of admiration come from the bottom of his heart.
The Heavenly Demon Lord standing before him seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, he had already played around with General Tiger Dragon, and with ease, displayed such eerie and terrifying magic…This low-key Heavenly Demon Lord has quite a reputation!
After Xiao Juechen spoke, the atmosphere relaxed a bit, and the huge dragon looked at Lu Heng in confusion and said.
"What kind of dark magic is this? Why is it so bizarre?"
In the frightened gaze of the demonic beings, Lu Heng sighed inwardly but smiled slightly on his face, and said.
"This is an ancient dark magic, the 'Soul-Capturing and Life-Control Technique'. It uses the body of a freshly dead person as a vessel, extracting the resentment and spiritual energy from its soul, transforming it into a puppet that will obey commands and never die or rest."
"However, in order to completely carry out this ritual, the puppet needs to be trained for a full forty-four days to become a true Soul-Capturing Puppet."
"For now, it's just a small test of my swordsmanship. This skeleton is only able to move, nothing too complicated."
Lu Heng's words were not boasting.
The dark magic recorded in "Evil Cultivations" is both horrifying and eerie, possessing unfathomable power.
If the Soul-Capturing and Life-Control Technique is truly employed to create a perfect Soul-Capturing Puppet, then the puppet will relentlessly pursue its target day and night. The puppet is immune to the elements and impervious to both good and evil, not subject to the five elements, and surpasses the limits of the heavens and earth. It can even enter different dimensions and assassinate targets from within, making it almost impossible to defend against.
Lu Heng, who didn't cultivate Evil Cultivation, could only manage to make this skeleton move by borrowing the power of the Evil Death Qi through the Netherworld Imprint.
If he were to go and refine a Soul-Capturing Puppet, he wouldn't be able to do so without the assistance of Evil Cultivation techniques.
However, even so, it still frightened General Tiger Dragon and Xiao Juechen.
They don't know that Lu Heng doesn't cultivate evil skills.
Hearing Lu Heng speak in such a manner, was interpreted as an act of condescension towards General Tiger Dragon, rather than an equal exchange of views.
Realizing this, the giant dragon quickly transformed into human form and respectfully bowed in thanks.
"I, Tiger Dragon, express gratitude towards the Evil Lord's gracious gesture."
The white bones casually summoned in such a way were so difficult to deal with that even their true fire could not extinguish them. If the Heavenly Demon Lord were a little more suspicious and decided to create a killing puppet to pursue him, he would not have survived!
At this moment, General Tiger Dragon confirmed one thing: anyone can be offended, but the Smiling-face Demon in front of him must not be offended under any circumstances.
With such great strength and being the Smiling-face Demon, offending this terrifying being would surely lead to a spine-tingling outcome.
And General Tiger Dragon respectfully bowed, while Xiao Juechen hesitated for a few moments before finally beginning to speak.
"Evil Lord, umm… As far as I know, the technique of capturing and extracting the soul had long since been lost and is an ancient demon art from ancient times that once flourished. It was said to have assassinated the ancient divine beast Lu Wu."
Xiao Juechen cautiously looked at Lu Heng and said, "Have you, Evil Lord, ever witnessed the Earthly Catastrophe that occurred during ancient times?"
Xiao Juechen's words clearly implied that Lu Heng was the ancient demon who used devilry to assassinate Lu Wu in ancient times.
Or perhaps, the successor of that ancient demon…
To this, Lu Heng smiled a little and said, "Brother Xiao need not fear. I am not the demon who assassinated Lu Wu."
"The technique of capturing and extracting the soul is not my specialty. The devilry I hold in my hands is much stronger than that."
Lu Heng casually uttered a frank remark, instantly causing General Tiger Dragon to break out in a cold sweat.
This technique of capturing and extracting the soul is not even the strongest? This guy has even more terrifying devilry?
Oh my goodness! Where did this demon pop out from?!
Xiao Juechen's face also changed slightly as he suddenly thought of something.
When Evil Lord met me before, it mentioned that one of its disciples sacrificed himself to cover its escape and died under the hands of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain.
At the beginning, he didn't pay attention.
But now as he thinks back, the amount of information conveyed in that sentence was quite significant.
The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, who commands the power of heavenly thunder and has unparalleled swordsmanship, even someone like Xiao Juechen would not last long in front of him.
However, the strange bird by Evil Lord's side was able to hold off the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain and cover Evil Lord's escape. Could it be that the young cultivators around Evil Lord, who are covered in evil death qi and are difficult to gauge, are actually top-level evil cultivators to be able to achieve this?
Not inferior to him, Xiao Juechen?
This thought made Xiao Juechen's heart skip a beat.
Looking again at the disciple behind Lu Heng, who was covered in evil death qi and whose background could not be seen even with magic eyes, Xiao Juechen no longer dares to act superior.
Although Evil Lord and it are peers when it comes to socializing, if one were to rank based on strength, the young disciples behind Evil Lord may be more powerful than Xiao Juechen…
