Chapter 74 The Blessing of the True Lord of Fortune: Slaughtering the Lion Pride
"Mother, please see me off this time."
Your mother was somewhat surprised: "This child is behaving strangely today."
Although she had some doubts, she still agreed to your request.
Your father smiled and said, "This child is unusually well-behaved today, knowing I'm busy."
Up to this point in the text, the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.
however--
Your mother drives the carriage slowly, but she seems to have a poor sense of direction.
You exclaimed in surprise, "There's someone ahead!"
The carriage you were in struck and killed a wealthy young man.
You were beaten to death by his servants!
"..."
Li Qingchen rubbed his temples.
Although this death was also quite bizarre, at least we now know where the problem lies.
"One more time."
"This time... I'm sure I can solve this problem!"
"Lin Mo, who do you and your sister want to send you to the private school?"
Li Qingchen did not rush to make a choice.
Because no matter which person you choose, you will die inexplicably.
He is waiting.
Time is ticking away, second by second.
Your parents are getting impatient because you haven't been able to give a decent answer.
[Swordsman, why don't you try asking your sister Lin Wan for her opinion?]
Your sister seemed slightly surprised. She said she had no objections and would listen to you.
This is the first time you've heard your sister's voice.
The choice is yours again. Who will you choose?
You chose a more vulnerable mother.
This time, your carriage traveled smoothly without hitting anyone.
really!
Li Qingchen thought to herself, "Although my parents kept talking to me, it was mainly my sister Lin Wan and me who were the main people talking."
"I always answered on my own initiative, completely ignoring the sister who couldn't see me."
"So whatever you do after that is wrong."
[The Blessed One, the True Lady, appreciates your intelligence; you have brought her joy.]
She's decided to grant you a small favor to help you overcome obstacles outside the game.
Do you wish to accept the gift?
"Huh? You got it so quickly this time? You gave it to me without me even needing to complete the game?"
Li Qingchen raised an eyebrow.
He originally thought that he would have to go through several more trials before he could receive some rewards.
Unexpectedly, simply identifying the crux of the problem earned him the favor of the True Lord.
However, this surprise did not last long. The roar coming from afar instantly made him understand the reason.
Roar--
Roar! ! !
A deep and furious lion's roar came from the depths of the secret realm.
The sounds rose and fell, growing ever closer.
The dense demonic aura swept towards this place like a tidal wave.
The snowflakes that were originally flying everywhere seemed to be slightly stopped by this violent atmosphere.
The chill in the air was gradually replaced by a bloodthirsty ferocity.
"There really is a pride of lions, and quite a few of them."
Li Qingchen narrowed his eyes.
However, this also shows just how timely the reward came.
You have chosen to accept the blessing of the Blessed One.
[Receiving blessings...]
[The blessing has taken effect!]
[You can choose an object and infuse it with the True Lord's blessing as a realm of power. This object can be you, or it can be your ghost pet, the Ghost General!]
"Can I select an object?"
Li Qingchen thought for a moment.
If he were to test the blessing on himself and infuse it into his own body, he would certainly be able to directly improve his realm and increase his strength.
But he didn't know the specific effects of this blessing.
It's unclear whether there will be any side effects.
If any discomfort occurs after receiving the blessing, or if the sudden increase in cultivation level causes disorder in one's aura.
Therefore, in this secret realm surrounded by lions, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
In contrast, consider the Ghost General.
It was originally a ghost pet he summoned, completely under his control, and absolutely obedient to him, with no possibility of any backlash.
and.
The Ghost General himself was already very powerful.
If the blessing were infused into its body, its strength would be elevated to another level, and it would undoubtedly be more confident in facing the siege of the lion pride.
Just to be on the safe side, he chose to infuse the blessing into the Ghost General.
In any case, the Ghost General will definitely obey his orders.
[Target selected: Ghost General.]
[Blessings are being injected...10%...50%...100%!]
[Infusion complete! The Ghost General has received the blessing of the Blessed One, the True Lord, resulting in a significant increase in his cultivation level, a transformation in his form, and a comprehensive enhancement of all his abilities!]
As the system notification faded, the air around Li Qingchen suddenly became eerie and icy.
A powerful surge of ghostly energy erupted from his body, spreading outwards like a tsunami, causing the surrounding snow to flutter and fall.
The Ghost General has appeared!
The ghost general's figure, which was originally only ten feet tall, began to grow rapidly.
The originally jet-black armor became even thicker and heavier.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, it shimmered with a cold yet dazzling light.
The Ghost General's figure also grew from one zhang to five zhang in height.
Its body is robust and upright, like a small mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The eerie green flames around his body grew even stronger.
Its face remained ferocious, its eyes were empty, and the ghost blade in its hand grew larger!
This is the effect of the True Lord of Blessings bestowing blessings.
Li Qingchen was absolutely certain that the Ghost General's strength had far surpassed his own at this moment!
Li Qingchen walked towards the ghost general who was emitting ghostly flames.
Even though the Ghost General is far superior to Li Qingchen.
Yet it doesn't give off any sense of looking down at you.
Because it always believed that it was the one looking up to!
Then, the Ghost General restored his body to a height of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).
Then, before Li Qingchen, he respectfully knelt on one knee, performing the rites of a subordinate.
"very good."
Li Qingchen stood before him, looking down at him, and said:
"Go, kill those three-eyed white lions, leave no one alive."
"Also, protect the humans in the secret realm."
The Ghost General nodded respectfully, then vanished into the vast snowstorm in the blink of an eye.
……
……
The entrance to the cave.
Wang Dana and his three companions, who were resting around the campfire, froze upon hearing the roar of the three-eyed white lion. Their faces showed fear, and they even began to breathe cautiously.
The campfire flickered, casting a weak light that illuminated the four men's pale faces.
"Did you...did you hear that?!"
A thin, low-ranking martial artist spoke in a trembling voice.
"What a terrifying demonic aura! There really is a pride of lions! And judging from the sound, there must be quite a few of them!"
They looked in the direction from which the sound came.
In the distance, there was a writhing expanse of snow-white, and several eerie red lights.
Wang Dana forced himself to remain calm.
He patted the shoulders of the two people next to him forcefully, trying to calm them down.
"We're hiding in the cave now, and the lion pride might not be able to find us."
"At least... at least until Master Li returns, we shouldn't make any rash moves."
"Is Master Li still alive?"
Someone said in a trembling voice.
"Let's run! Staying here is just waiting to die!"
"Run? Where to run?"
Wang Dana gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"In this secret realm, there is snow everywhere and the view is wide open, so we have nowhere to hide."
Moreover, we are no match for the three-eyed white lion. If we venture out, the pride will catch up, and we'll suffer an even worse fate.
Hearing what Wang Dana said.
The three of them were completely plunged into despair, and they all lowered their heads, their faces showing pain.
sometimes.
Waiting to die is more terrifying than dying directly.
Wang Dana stood up. "Wait a minute. If the lions really find us, I'll hold them off. You guys take the opportunity to run deeper into the cave, as far as you can."
"It's better for one of me to die than for us all to die here! As long as you hold out until the rescue team arrives, you can survive!"
Upon hearing Wang Dana's words, a hint of emotion flashed in the eyes of the three, but at the same time, they were filled with guilt.
They knew that with Wang Dana's strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning against the lion pride's attack.
This is just buying them time to escape.
Although it's not very useful.
But this sentiment...
"Brother, we'll go together!"
A soldier from the Demon Slayer Division spoke in a firm voice.
His body was still trembling, but his eyes held a newfound resolve.
"Even if we die, we'll die together!"
The other two echoed this sentiment.
"We're with you, we'll fight the lions to the death!!"
Looking at the three people beside him, Wang Dana felt a surge of emotion, and his eyes reddened slightly.
Just then, a mournful roar suddenly rang out at the entrance of the cave!
Immediately afterwards, a huge three-eyed white lion appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The three-eyed white lion's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty ferocity, drool dripped from its mouth, and it emitted a nauseating bloody smell.
It is the vanguard of the pride, and the sixth oldest in the pride!
The three-eyed white lion stared at the four people in the cave and asked in confusion:
"Strange, where's that kid with the sword from before?"
The group realized instantly that it was looking for Li Qingchen!
The white lion chuckled: "Tell me and I'll spare your lives, how about it?"
Wang Dana cursed, "Go to hell!"
Since there's no escaping it, might as well die gracefully!
Wang Dana shouted, activated his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and charged towards the three-eyed white lion!
The other three also reacted quickly, drawing their swords and slashing at the three-eyed white lion.
However, the three-eyed white lion was too fast. With a swift movement, it easily dodged the four people's attacks.
At the same time, it swung its sharp claws and slapped towards the thin martial artist.
The martial artist was caught off guard and struck by the three-eyed white lion's claws, his body flying backward and crashing heavily into the cave wall.
boom!
The blow caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, instantly losing consciousness, his fate unknown.
In a moment of panic, Wang Dana charged at the three-eyed white lion once more.
The three-eyed white lion sensed the attack from behind and impatiently flicked its tail.
Its tail, like a steel whip, lashed out at Wang Dana.
Wang Dana was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but he was still a step too slow. The tail grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep wound, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes red.
"Brother Wang!"
"Leave me alone!"
Wang Dana waved his hand, "Run!"
The three-eyed white lion smiled cruelly: "I'll ask you one more time, where is that Tianwu person?"
"Speak out, and you will live."
Then, more roars came.
More than a dozen three-eyed white lions appeared at the entrance of the cave, completely blocking the entrance.
These three-eyed white lions vary in size and strength.
One of them was even at the level of a high-grade demon beast, its aura so powerful it was terrifying.
That's clearly the Lion King!
Seeing this, Wang Dana and his three companions were utterly plunged into despair.
"It's over...it's really over this time."
Wang Dana gave a wry smile.
Such a powerful demon would be difficult to defeat even if General Chen's personal disciple came.
"Big brother, these ants are quite tight-lipped. Should we just kill them? Or take them back and torture them?" the sixth brother asked.
"Just kill him. That person couldn't have gone far; he might be hiding somewhere nearby," the Lion King said.
They received the Lion King's order.
The leading, top-grade three-eyed white lion let out a furious roar and pounced on Wang Dana.
Wang Dana had no time to react.
He could even feel that the three-eyed white lion's claws were only an inch away from his head.
however.
The expected pain did not come.
Wang Dana slightly opened his eyes.
The three-eyed white lion vanguard, which was originally pouncing towards him, suddenly stopped in mid-air, its body trembling uncontrollably, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black figure, like a ghost, suddenly appeared behind the three-eyed white lion!
The figure was over ten feet tall, covered in jet-black armor, with eerie green flames flickering on its body.
It held a pitch-black ghost knife in its hand, exuding a chilling aura.
It was none other than the Ghost General!
With a gentle flick of his Ghost Blade, the Overlord Blade, a jet-black blade of energy slashed towards the top-grade three-eyed white lion.
The top-grade three-eyed white lion had no time to react before being struck by the blade energy.
There was a crisp "snap" sound.
The three-eyed white lion's body was instantly cleaved in two by the blade's energy.
Blood and internal organs gushed out, splattering all over the ground!
The entire cave fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Wang Dana and the other three stared wide-eyed, their faces showing disbelief.
Not out of fear, but out of awe.
They couldn't believe their eyes—the incredibly powerful, despair-inducing, superior-grade three-eyed white lion before them.
It was actually cleaved in two by this dark figure with a single, effortless strike!
More importantly, the one who killed the white lion was not human at all!
At the entrance of the cave, the other three-eyed white lions all let out low growls at the Ghost General.
The Three-Eyed Lion King was also shocked: "What the hell is this thing? I've been in this secret realm for so many years, why have I never heard of it before?"
The Ghost General stood still, his eerie green flames flickering, his eyes vacant yet radiating a chilling killing intent.
"Kill it!" the three-eyed lion king ordered.
Even with their reservations, they are still a pride of lions!
It is a peak-level demon general!
How could I be afraid of a mere ghost!
Before the pride attacked.
Suddenly, the Ghost General flashed, transforming into a black afterimage, and charged towards the three-eyed white lion.
It didn't give the three-eyed white lion any chance to react at all.
Screams, screams, and the sound of bones breaking instantly rang out at the cave entrance, mingling together.
One after another, the three-eyed white lions were easily killed by the Ghost General!
Some were cleaved in two by the ghost blade, and some had their hearts pierced by it!
Those three-eyed white lions had absolutely no chance of resisting the Ghost General.
Like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
Wang Dana and his three companions collapsed to the ground, their eyes wide, staring intently at the scene before them.
"What...what kind of monster is this?"
They didn't feel much of a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.
Because they weren't sure if this monster would kill them too after killing the pride of lions!
