Pummeling Lu Nian! / Destroying His Will to Live
In the sky, Lu Jun was extremely surprised to see this trajectory. He then followed Lu Nian's route and looked to the end, where he discovered a nest as large as a mountain, inhabited by countless Earth Lizard Giant Demons.
At the summit, a colossal and terrifying Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard lies dormant.
The pseudo-dragon Commander Rank Demonic Beast, possessing a trace of true dragon blood. Its combat power is even stronger than that of other demons of the same level. It is also the Demon Beast that the local military region's Li Man begged to deal with.
For a moment, Lu Jun's memory became confused. Originally, it was Mo Fan who took the initiative to run towards the giant lizard's nest to seek survival, but now it was Lu Nian who was running away in a sorry state.
What a twist of fate, what goes around comes around!
"Hehehe, today I'll make you despair."
Lu Jun assigned tasks, saying to Zhan Kong and Professor Yuan, "You two are best at restraining others. Go directly to the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard's nest and keep this demon occupied for a while. We'll deal with Lu Nian and return soon."
Upon hearing this, the two had no objections. They were going to deal with it together anyway. All five people present were highly skilled and were not afraid of ordinary Commander-level.
He nodded in agreement, but then felt that having Lu Mei and Zhan Kong, the two Wind Element mages, fly with them would slow them down.
Fortunately, Lu Jun remembered his Summoning System, the [Night Thunder Dream Beast] he had signed with the initial Dimensional Summon. Although it couldn't fly, its speed on land was unparalleled.
He then sheathed his Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, leaped down from mid-air, and swiftly traced Star Track, his moon-white magical energy surging forth.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A massive, dark purple magic circle intertwined on the ground, its intricate patterns spreading out, creating a picture full of eeriness and darkness.
In an instant, a large amount of black mist surged out from the magic array, and a dark purple figure leaped out, rushing out of the fog like lightning, heading towards Lu Nian's location.
Just then, Lu Jun landed and rode on the back of the [Night Thunder Dream Beast].
He sat atop the broad back of the dream beast, its fur smooth and its stance steady. The oncoming gale was dispelled by thunder and darkness, and as they rode, sparks flew and lightning flashed. No wonder it was called the most stylish mount.
Moreover, once the speed started, it gradually moved closer to that of the monarch.
Lu Jun looked around. The howling wind and air currents completely blurred the scenery. His speed was faster than the two high-level Wind Element flying in the sky, as well as his own Sword Flying.
Looking down from above, the black lightning bolt shot past them like a shuttle, gradually approaching Lu Nian.
Finally, Lu Jun caught up first and intercepted the enemy.
Chapter 177 The Tyranny of Lu Nian!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Nian's Earth Element techniques are superb, he has mastered his domain, and his Earth Element Spirit Seed is suitable for escaping and Earth Escape. Combined with the acceleration of his Magic Tool, even high-level Wind Element would have a hard time catching up with him.
But when he looked back, a Black-purple Lightning bolt rushed towards him, weaving through the forest, sometimes disappearing, sometimes leaping, completely unstoppable, and the distance between them was visibly closing.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, Lu Nian's face hardened, and he suddenly sprang out of the ground to face his pursuers head-on.
His deep pupils shimmered with a brownish-red light, and his body was covered with interwoven earth-yellow Star Chart, outlining a magnificent constellation, with surging earth elemental magic power.
A high-tier, level 3 Rock Element [Eye of the Rock Demon - Veil of Heaven]!
Earth Element, starting from High-level Magic, involves Killing Power, and its effects are extremely abnormal. Inspired by the curse of Medusa's Eye, it is restructured in the form of Rock Element, which is the power of petrification.
Level 1 petrification, Level 2 Earth Dragon Spike, and Level 3 Veil of Heaven are essentially about the excavation of control over rocks.
Rumble!
At this moment, Lu Nian looked at the area in front of him. The blue sky, white clouds, and dense forests suddenly erupted with terrifying power. A large area of grayish-white light covered everything, turning the world in his eyes into grayish-white.
Immediately afterwards, countless trees withered and crumbled into sculpted fragments, and the white clouds turned into mud in just a few seconds, transforming from a floating state into a continuous peeling.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of several hundred meters instantly turned into a blank space. The air was filled with petrified dust, and countless gray-white powders fell like goose feathers in a snowstorm, covering the ground with a thick layer of ash.
All the trees and vegetation above have been cleared away.
Buzz!
But faced with such terrifying killing intent, the Night Thunder Dream Beast had already changed direction rapidly a split second before it could unleash its attack, drawing a perfect arc of lightning, brushing past the petrification beast, and circling behind Lu Nian.
Lu Jun rode on the back of the dream beast, intending to hastily draw the constellations and release the Water Glory Sky Curtain to resist, but this scene was unexpected.
Night Thunder Dream Beast calmly dodged the enemy's attacks.
He quickly rolled over and landed to avoid affecting the Summoned Beast's performance.
At this moment, Lu Nian was sweating profusely. Behind him, a powerful and imposing demon king was watching him intently, its presence sending chills down his spine.
He quickly turned around, only to be met by a huge claw, half the Size Change a human, its fleshy paw crackling with dark lightning, accompanied by a fierce wind that kicked up dust.
The dense shadow power mixed with violent lightning, with both corrosive and explosive force, combined with the savage physical strength of the Demon Beast, would kill any High-Order Mage who took a single hit from its claws.
"Veil of Heaven!"
The demon mage Lu Nian only had time to roar once before the gray-white fluff falling all around him swirled, the fine particles gathering together to form a curtain of gray-white sand that blocked his way.
The high-level 3 Rock Element is more maneuverable than the 1st level Petrify, as it can trigger a second stage effect. All the dust shattered by Petrify can be utilized, like Heavenly Veil, hence the name.
Thump!
Soon, the black claws slammed onto the thin gray gauze, creating a deafening roar. The terrifying force caused it to collapse, but it did not break down, as if it were using softness to overcome hardness, like being stuck in a quagmire.
The power of shadow continued to erode, and the black sand around the edges decayed, hissing sounds constantly emanating from it. The leaping lightning was severely suppressed by the Earth Element and failed to produce a strong effect.
Even so, the immense power emanating from the Demon Beast still sent Lu Nian flying, tossing him high into the air.
Whoosh!
The Night Thunder Dream Beast relentlessly pursued, its limbs digging into the ground as it charged forward, its afterimages flashing, and it actually leaped into the air, catching up with Lu Nian in mid-air. Its enormous figure blotted out the sky.
In mid-air, Lu Nian felt dizzy, but before he could freefall, his pupils contracted as he saw a black and white shadow above him, casting a large shadow that obscured him.
Lu Nian felt a constant alarm bell ringing in his heart. He hurriedly gathered Earth Element magic energy, intending to release the Eye of the Rock Demon again to petrify the enemy. The wisps of gray-white dust that wrapped around his body wriggled, trying to condense into a shield to defend himself.
But the Night Thunder Dream Beast was extremely fast. Before the petrified Veil of Heaven could reassemble, it stomped down heavily with its hoof, stepping on Lu Nian's chest.
Thunderous Strike!
With a loud thud, Lu Nian's eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets. He arched his body, nearly at a right angle, and layers of air waves rose up around his body in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Nian plummeted vertically to the ground like a cannonball, a section of his golden Armor Magic Tool on his chest visibly caved in.
However, before it could make a heavy impact with the ground, an elegant black and white figure appeared below. The Night Thunder Dream Beast raised its head, its sharp horns pointing straight to the sky, their color jet black, exuding a strong Dark Aura.
The sorcery 'Death Ray'!
In the next instant, Lu Nian's lumbar spine was struck squarely by the horn. As the excruciating pain struck, the golden Armor Magic Tool on his waist was severely corroded, turning into large patches of gray-black.
His body, which had just fallen, was thrown high into the air again.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The area was filled with afterimages, both above and below, and ripples spread through the air, causing dust to swirl around, yet each movement lagged behind the Night Thunder Dream Beast by a beat.
Seeing this, Lu Jun, who was watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded and slowly lowered the magic he was holding in his hand, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. (Gaara, Madara Uchiha: Do you have any manners?!)
This is the shocking scene brought about by the high-speed Demon Beast.
He suddenly realized that he didn't need to lift a finger; his Night Thunder Dream Beast was more than capable of handling it. After all, it was Sub-Commander with multiple attributes, much stronger than the White Sturgeon Demon from the Yangtze River.
Of course, Lu Nian is not weak, Triple High Level. Unfortunately, he suffered severe injuries in his early years, leaving residual internal wounds that require him to use tobacco to suppress the pain year-round.
In reality, only the Rock Element can be fully utilized. (Original text)
However, this element was completely shrouded in the nightmare of the Night Thunder Dream Beast and could not be used.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast unleashed a series of sharp and continuous attacks, demonstrating its mastery of speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. As expected of a powerful being that emerged from the Summoning Plane, it possessed its own rhythm and control.
A few seconds later, it seemed to feel tired and its physical strength had reached its limit, so it appeared next to Lu Jun.
Finally, the Night Thunder Dream Beast roared, and terrifying black light gathered in its mouth, intertwining with black and purple lightning. A towering black pillar of light shot into the sky, serving as the final blow to suffocate the beast.
Rumble!
In an instant, the pillar of black lightning pierced through the swirling Veil of Heaven and struck Lu Nian directly in the sky.
An explosion rang out in the sky, and a dazzling black-purple Light Screen rose up. Lu Nian was blasted away and crashed into the ground in the distance, sinking deep into it.
Inside the deep pit, his breathing was weak, and the golden armor on his body had long since shattered into dust under the corrosion of the darkness, with most of his flesh and bones reduced to powder.
"He's still alive?"
Lu Jun was surprised that he hadn't died immediately after being brutally beaten so many times at close range by Commander Rank Demonic Beast.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even after being brutally beaten by the Demon Mo Fan, Lu Nian was still able to utter harsh words and even retaliate.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast, which had been catching its breath for a while, regained its composure and seemed eager to fight, as if it was still not satisfied.
Chapter 178 Killing someone by destroying their spirit
Inside the Golden Forest Wasteland City.
Lu Jun gently stroked the black and white mane of the Night Thunder Dream Beast beside him, comforting it, "Don't worry, I have something to say to him."
"Yo-yo~," the dream beast, resembling both a lion and a deer, let out a soft cry. It hadn't used its full strength yet; at least, it hadn't unleashed its Nightmare Domain.
However, Lu Jun also saw the abilities of this Sub-Commander Summoned Beast: a combination of physical body and demonic arts, with the demonic arts concentrated in three aspects, the Mind Curse system representing Spirit Demon being its forte.
Secondly, there are the Shadow Element and Lightning Element. The former is mainly used for Shadow Escape and Corrosion Defense. No matter how high the carapace defense is, it can be easily torn apart by claws after being corroded by darkness.
The latter is not simple. The black lightning beam just now was exactly the same as the high-level Lightning Element magic [Silent Thunder Death Ray], the only difference being that it was mixed with dark and decaying power.
Without a doubt, it is the strongest single-target attack at the high-level. Only Lu Nian's Armor Magic Tool are of the superior grade, capable of withstanding a single blow. Anyone else hit by it will either be blown to pieces or have their flesh evaporated.
Lu Jun thought to himself, no wonder it took seven or eight High-Order Mages from different factions to hunt down a single Commander-level; the Demon Beast themselves had too many advantages.
Even when he wanted to deal with the Night Thunder Dream Beast alone, he needed to maintain a certain distance to be confident.
He was quite satisfied with his initial Dimensional Summon, having already defeated Lu Nian with a small test of his skills.
At this moment, with the Night Thunder Dream Beast blocking Lu Nian's way, the battle was over, and the two Wind Element mages, Lu Mei and Zhan Kong, arrived late, each with two other people.
Lu Nian Zhan Kong at Lu Nian in the deep pit, then glanced at the majestic and powerful dream beast, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Lu Jun, your Summoned Beast is awesome, it finished the battle in a few seconds."
Roar!
Before Lu Jun could speak, the buildings behind him, which were covered in forest, shook, and a terrifying roar came from behind.
The group turned around and gazed solemnly at the Earth Lizard Giant Demon's lair, which was surrounded by several buildings. At the very top, the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard leader, who was coiled on a small part of the mountain, slowly awoke, and a pair of huge fleshy wings slowly spread out there.
It was tens of meters long, with a majestic and imposing presence. Its breath alone was like a gust of wind sweeping across the sky, accompanied by muffled thunder.
The roar just now was made by it.
The Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard was awakened by the battle between Lu Jun and Lu Nian.
Of course, the most important thing was the [Night Thunder Dream Beast]. A being of the same level with an aura no weaker than their own broke in. Under the intensification of the Demon Beast territory consciousness, the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard developed strong hostility towards the group.
It looked down at the group, its mouth, which resembled a ferocious dragon's head, gaping open and drooling.
At the same time, the mountain-like nest began to shake, and a large number of Earth Lizard Giant Demon emerged from the dense caves. Obeying their commander's orders, they launched a full-scale attack, surging in like a tidal wave.
The sky was dark and oppressive, a black tide swept across the ground, Jinlin City trembled violently, creating a truly shocking scene.
"Oh no, the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard has its eye on us."
Zhan Kong's expression Zhan Kong serious. His azure Wind Wings flapped behind him as he soared into the air, hastily uttering, "I'll hold them off for a moment. You guys finish this quickly and protect the students."
Professor Yuan, Lu Mei, and Tang Yue glanced at Lu Jun, nodded slightly, and then left to join Zhan Kong in stopping an entire rampaging giant lizard tribe.
They knew that Lu Jun had other motives for intercepting and killing Lu Nian, so they left it to him to handle and pretended not to see it.
A moment later, Lu Jun walked to the edge of the pit and looked down at a man in a military uniform with thick eyebrows lying inside, covered in blood and in a terrible state.
Lu Nian seemed to sense the newcomer, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lu Jun with a cold smile, "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. It's just a matter of the victor taking all."
He had considered fighting to the death, but his opponent was extremely cautious, and the handsome Summoned Beast beside him was shrouded in darkness, constantly releasing mental nightmares, making it impossible for him to gather magic.
Lu Jun chuckled and bent down to ravage Lu Nian's body.
First was a left arm Magic Tool [Petrification Tool], which was dark yellow in color and interwoven with Medusa runes, giving it an eerie appearance. Then there were several scarlet, crystalline Beads, the [Demon Relic], placed in the pocket.
The former goes without saying; its value is at least tens of millions. It can enhance the high-level Rock Element High-level Magic [Eye of the Rock Demon], increasing its power by at least one or two times. If it weren't for mental restraint, Lu Nian wouldn't be able to use it, otherwise, it would be really difficult to fight.
Lu Jun had a deep memory of the original story and had his eye on this Magic Tool for a long time. For his older sister, Lu Mei, it was a top-tier Demon Slaying Gear, as she had just advanced to the high-level of the Rock Element.
Originally, the two siblings were short of money and couldn't afford to buy Magic Tool in order to improve their cultivation. Now, they have made up for Lu Mei's shortcomings and become rich overnight.
Indeed, no one gets rich without windfall gains; plunder is the fastest way to grow stronger. It's just that Lu Nian's golden armor was smashed to pieces just now; otherwise, he would have a complete set of Magic Tool, combining offense and defense.
