boom!
The Flame Blade struck down, even scattering the black rain.
However, as the rain broke, the eerie figure suddenly emitted a faint, piercing shriek. In the shriek, a sharp hand covered with bluish-gray scales suddenly rose up and clashed head-on with the Flame Blade.
clang!
It sounded like the clanging of metal, sparks flew, but were quickly extinguished by the rain.
The Flame Blade cleaved through large swathes of blue scales, but failed to sever the arm. Instead, it embedded itself into the flesh, the intense heat scorching the grayish-blue flesh until it was charred black.
But the figure seemed to feel no pain, ignoring the excruciating pain in its arm, and its other sharp hand, like a sword blade, pierced fiercely towards the boy wielding the fire knife.
The boy was in mid-air, with nowhere to grab onto and nowhere to dodge, but suddenly a blue wing flashed behind him, and his figure rose several feet in an instant, avoiding the attack of that strange figure.
The one who made the move was naturally Lu Ming, who remained vigilant at all times.
Because Lu Qingyan and his group had temporarily left the camp to provide assistance, even though they weren't far away, Lu Ming still kept some attention on the " Restriction Flag " area. Unexpectedly, he actually discovered the strange figure that had sneaked in.
"A Four-Armed Rain Spawn?"
Lu Ming locked onto the figure. Due to the previous battle, his Primordial Qi was shaken, and the strange figure had emerged from the black rain. It was a Four-Armed Rain Spawn, but its body was several sizes thinner than the other Rain Spawn. What surprised Lu Ming the most was that on the head of this Four-Armed Rain Spawn, there was a peculiar thing lying on it.
It was a strange creature, pitch black and reeking of decay, resembling an octopus, with tentacles hanging down and clinging tightly to the scaly face of this Four-Armed Rain Spawn.
The rotting head of the eight-legged creature continuously absorbed the black rain, then covered the Four-Armed Rain Spawn with the black liquid flowing from its tentacles, allowing it to blend more perfectly into the black rain.
"That's a Spawn Beast? This Four-Armed Rain Spawn absorbed the black rain using the eight-clawed Spawn Beast on its head, and then covered its body with that black liquid, thus avoiding my Golden Pupil?" Lu Ming's eyes flashed. No wonder he didn't notice the Rain Spawn's infiltration immediately; it turned out it was using some strange abilities.
These Rain Spawn are cunning!
hiss!
Upon realizing its stealth attempt had failed, the Four-Armed Rain Spawn with the eight- Spawn Beast on its head opened its ferocious mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a piercing shriek at Lu Ming. Its dead fish-like eyes swirled with a cold and savage glint.
boom!
However, what responded to him was the Thunderfire Whip that suddenly materialized in Lu Ming's hand. The whip had seven sections, engraved with thunderfire runes. At the same time, he held the whip in his right hand and condensed a ball of golden flame in his left hand. The flame was like molten metal, sharp and fierce.
Upper Divine Ability, Thunderfire Whip, Major Accomplishment!
Middle Divine Ability, Golden Plasma Fire, Perfection!
During the brief exchange earlier, Lu Ming had already sensed that the Four-Armed Rain Spawn before him was probably no weaker than Great Divine Ability Practitioner had condensed thirteen Divine Ability Dharma Mark. Therefore, Lu Ming was naturally going all out when he made his move.
Of course, this is without the blessing of " Fire Lotus Yuan Qi ".
During this period of arduous cultivation, Lu Ming's Primordial Qi foundation not only surged to ten Divine Ability Dharma Mark, but his divine power techniques also made rapid progress. After all, relying on the unique cultivation method of " Fire Lotus Yuan Qi," he could make amazing progress in cultivating any divine power technique.
Meanwhile, the Thunderfire Whip, now at the Major Accomplishment Realm, has even begun to catch up with Lu Qingyan, Lu Jinglei, and others who have been immersed in this divine power for over a decade.
As for the Thunderfire Whip at the Perfection Realm... over the years, only Lu Jin in the entire Thunderfire Hall has reached that level.
Of course, if he were to rely on the " Fire Lotus Yuan Qi " for support, Lu Ming might become the second person.
However, a Four-Armed Rain Spawn with thirteen Divine Ability Dharma Mark is not worth Lu Ming using such a trump card.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had already covered the Thunderfire Whip Golden Plasma Fire. Instantly, golden light flowed around the whip, which was wrapped in raging thunder and fire, making it even more ferocious.
boom!
That wasn't all. Azure Primordial Qi wings flashed out from behind Lu Ming's back. The wings flapped suddenly, and his figure swooped down at an extremely terrifying speed.
It even caused a piercing sound as it cut through the air.
Using the speed of the Azure Jade Wings as a flying supernatural ability, he then wielded the Major Accomplishment Thunderfire Whip, which was enhanced by the Perfection Golden Plasma Fire.
That was a powerful blow!
The Four-Armed Rain Spawn with the eight- Spawn Beast on its head sensed the roaring thunder and fire attack above it. Its scales stood on end, clearly indicating that it had sensed a deadly danger.
It dared not be negligent. It suddenly opened its mouth wide, its lips torn open, and a burst of suction force gathered the countless black raindrops, transforming them into a black water sphere over ten feet in size.
The water sphere exploded in the next instant, and a giant black hand suddenly shot out, colliding violently with the descending Thunderfire Whip.
boom!
At the moment of impact, the Primordial Qi roared.
It was as if lightning struck from the sky, evaporating everything.
Lu Ming's figure crashed heavily to the ground, his feet creating deep craters. The Thunderfire Whip in his hand gradually went out, and behind him, the head of the Four-Armed Rain Spawn had disappeared, leaving only a charred black patch on its shoulder, with all its scales shattered.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and glanced at his palm. The web between his thumb and forefinger was cracked by the terrifying recoil, and his entire palm was a bloody mess. But this injury was no problem for him.
Golden light flowed within the flesh and blood, while emerald flames flickered in and out of sight.
In just a dozen breaths, his injured hand was completely healed.
At this moment, from the corpse of the Four-Armed Rain Spawn, an eight-clawed black shadow silently leaped out, attempting to merge into the black rain.
boom!
A bolt of lightning streaked across, instantly turning him into charred remains.
Lu Ming glanced at it and saw that it was the eight-clawed Spawn Beast on the head of the Four-Armed Rain Spawn.
Shortly after Lu Ming dealt with the Four-Armed Rain Spawn, the sound of wind breaking through the air rang out in the camp. Lu Qingyan and the others rushed back, clearly sensing the fluctuations of Primordial Qi that had erupted in the camp.
" A-Ming, are you alright?!" Lu Qingyan appeared beside Lu Ming and asked anxiously.
Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, pointing to the corpse of the Four-Armed Rain Spawn, and said, "This Four-Armed Rain Spawn used the rainwater to sneak into the camp. These monsters have quite a few tricks up their sleeves."
Lu Song stared at the corpse, its head blasted apart, and couldn't help but be astonished. He said, "Good lad, this Four-Armed Rain Spawn would be difficult even for Great Divine Ability Practitioner with a dozen or so Divine Ability Dharma Mark to deal with, and you actually took it down by yourself?"
Beside him stood two other Great Divine Ability Practitioner had emerged from the Thunderfire Hall, one named Xue Yu and the other Wang Yong. They too stared in disbelief at the young man before them. As far as they knew, Lu Ming had only been Great Divine Ability Practitioner for less than four months, while at this time, they hadn't even condensed their second Divine Ability Dharma Mark yet. But Lu Ming... had already slain a Four-Armed Rain Spawn even they, at this moment, would find somewhat troublesome?
What kind of monster is this?!
Zhang Yue wasn't this freakish back then, was he?
Meeting their gazes, the boy revealed a gentle smile, but this smile, set against the backdrop of the Rain Spawn's corpse with its head smashed to pieces, instead sent a chill down their spines.
At this moment, the thunder and fire outside the camp had completely stopped.
With a whooshing sound, Lu Jin and the others returned to the camp. He was unharmed, as they were just some Four-Armed Rain Spawn that posed no threat to him.
Lü Feng and Lu Jinglei both had some injuries, indicating that their Primordial Qi had been significantly depleted.
Lu Jin first looked at Lu Ming, and after seeing that he was alright, she turned to the others and reassured them, "Everyone has worked hard."
After a long night of hard work, most people looked exhausted.
"We really owe it all to A-Ming tonight, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy." Lu Jinglei patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and praised him.
Everyone agreed that if Lu Ming's Golden Pupil hadn't been able to pierce through the rain and detect the lurking traces of these Rain Spawn, they would have been in a much worse situation if they had been attacked by them.
"With a prodigy like Lu Ming, the Thunderfire Hall has a promising future," Lü Feng remarked with a smile.
Lu Jin waved his hand, leading everyone into the stone house to take shelter from the rain. Then he took out a large pile of beads and stacked them on a table made of stone slabs. These beads were unusually black, emitted a fishy stench, and were stained with bits of bluish-gray flesh.
It was Rain Pearl dug out from between the eyebrows of those Rain Spawn.
Lu Ming glanced at it and saw that there were more than twenty of them.
In other words, they were attacked by more than twenty Rain Spawn tonight, most of which were Four-Armed Rain Spawn. With such a lineup, if Lu Jin hadn't been there, they probably wouldn't have had any chance of escaping.
"I'll refine these Rain Pearl once, then I'll distribute them," Lu Jin said.
Within the Black Rain Zone, the recovery rate of Primordial Qi is relatively slow. However, these " Rain Pearl " pried from the brows of the Rain Spawn are valuable items. They not only restore Primordial Qi but are also considered spiritual objects that can enhance Primordial Qi and accelerate the condensation of Divine Ability Dharma Mark.
However, the only problem is that the Primordial Qi in the " Rain Pearl " is heavily polluted by the black rain, making it cold and eerie. Even after refining, some residue is still inevitable, so it must be used with caution, otherwise it will corrupt one's mind.
Lu Ming stared at the dark " Rain Pearl," his eyes flickering slightly. He then reached out, gathered a few, and smiled at Lu Jin, who looked puzzled.
"Grandpa, let me try to refine it too."
Refining the polluted aura within the " Rain Pearl " would be quite time-consuming and laborious for an ordinary Great Divine Ability Practitioner. However, Lu Jin knew his grandson's extraordinary abilities, and the strange and unusual abilities Lu Ming possessed might not be inferior to his own as Divine Ability Master.
So he didn't object and nodded with a smile.
