Mortal Cultivator - Chapter 351

Wang Lu stood quietly on the shocking land, which was stained with blood and scarlet like clouds. The ruins were all around, as if telling that he had just experienced a brutal battle.

Thick smoke spread, covering the sky and the sun. The choking smell of gunpowder and the strong and pungent smell of blood intertwined and blended, making people sick. Even the always resolute Wang Lu couldn’t help but frown.

He saw the long sword tightly grasped in his right hand, the sword body flashed with cold light, and the tip of the sword was pointing at the strange-shaped corpse on the ground. The corpse looked quite strange, with hideous wounds all over the body, and blood kept flowing out of it, gathering into a small pool of blood. Judging from the shape of the wound, it seemed that he was attacked by many different weapons. The miserable death was unbearable to look at.

The corpse had the black scales and horns that were unique to the demon clan, but on its back grew the white wings that were the signature of the gods, even though the wings were soaked in blood and the feathers were scattered messily.

“I… I actually killed a hybrid of the demon clan and the gods!” Wang Lu stared at the gradually cold corpse in front of him with disbelief, muttering to himself, with an undisguised astonishment and fear in his voice.

He stood there blankly, his mind blank. You know, in this extraterritorial battlefield full of blood and killing, although the disputes between the various races have never stopped, no one has ever dared to attack such a special identity so easily.

Because both the demon clan and the gods are extremely powerful and awe-inspiring races, and the hybrid of the two is even regarded as a taboo. Now, Wang Lu actually killed one of them with his own hands. He knew very well what kind of earth-shaking changes this reckless move would bring to him.

Perhaps from now on, he will become the target of public criticism and be hunted endlessly by two powerful races; or perhaps, he will uncover an unknown secret and be involved in a more thrilling storm… But in any case, he clearly realized that from this moment on, his originally peaceful life has been completely broken, and the road waiting for him in the future is destined to be full of thorns and dangers.

Wang Lu, this lonely and resolute swordsman, is like a star shining in the dark. With his extraordinary swordsmanship, he has forcibly carved out his own world in the dangerous and smoke-filled battlefield outside the domain.

For many years, he has been alone in the world, experiencing countless life and death tests. The sword in his hand has long drunk the blood of the enemy and has become a terrifying existence. However, even such a battle-hardened him did not expect that this seemingly ordinary mission would put him in an unprecedented predicament.

The goal of this mission was to eliminate the mob that wantonly disrupted the order of the battlefield, but when Wang Lu really got into it, he found that hidden behind these minions was an extremely difficult and mysterious powerful opponent. This character is not only unfathomable in strength, but also insidious and cunning, making it hard to guard against.

Okay, here is an expanded content:

This mysterious hybrid creature has astonishingly powerful strength. The strange power it displayed in the fierce battle is like the power of the devil from the abyss of hell, which made the battle-hardened Wang Lu feel unprecedented pressure and fear, and even fell into a desperate situation of life and death, and almost died.

However, facing such a strong enemy, Wang Lu did not have the slightest intention of retreating. He gritted his teeth and supported himself with a tenacious will beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At the same time, the sword in his hand, which had been with him for many years and had been stained red with blood, was also driven by his superb swordsmanship, like lightning, drawing sharp and deadly arcs in the air.

Every swing of the sword seemed to carry endless anger and determination; every flash of sword light would leave a string of dazzling sparks in the air. Although the hybrid creature’s attack was extremely fierce and unpredictable, Wang Lu was always able to cleverly avoid it at the critical moment and seize the fleeting opportunity to counterattack.

Finally, after a thrilling and indistinguishable battle, Wang Lu spotted a flaw in the hybrid creature, used all his strength, gathered all his strength on the tip of the sword, and then stabbed the opponent’s vital parts. Only a scream resounded through the sky, and the huge body of the hybrid creature fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust. At this point, this dangerous battle finally came to an end, and Wang Lu also relied on his indomitable perseverance and the pinnacle of swordsmanship to successfully kill this terrifying enemy with his sword.

However, before he could recover from the fatigue of the battle, a dangerous aura enveloped him. In the distance, a group of demons in black robes and gods in white holy armor were approaching him quickly.

Wang Lu felt his heart drop suddenly, as if a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds was pressing down. An ominous premonition surged into his heart like a tide, and he couldn’t help but take a breath. He was very aware that this time he might have really made a big mess.

You know, although the two tribes have been in a tit-for-tat and incompatible state on the battlefield outside the domain, the fight between them can be described as protracted. However, at this moment, just because he killed their common tribesmen with a knife, the two tribes that were originally enemies unexpectedly put aside their past grudges and quickly reached a consensus – to launch a crazy pursuit of him to the death!

“Run!” Wang Lu shouted without hesitation, turned around and ran away without hesitation. His agile figure rushed towards the edge of the battlefield like an arrow from a bow. He was extremely agile, like a black lightning, and he shuttled through the devastated ruins at an astonishing speed.

Behind him, the vicious pursuers of the Demon God Clan and the God Clan were chasing closely with great momentum. They roared deafeningly and waved their weapons with cold light in their hands. The clanging sounds produced by the collisions between them were endless. These sounds were like a spell to urge death, constantly echoing in Wang Lu’s ears, as if they could swallow him up completely at any time.

“Stinky boy, you dare to kill my people from the Demon God Clan, today is the day you will be buried!” The Demon God Clan warrior opened his eyes wide with anger, his face was full of ferociousness, and he let out a deafening roar. He was holding a huge axe in both hands. The axe was as black as ink and flashed a frightening cold light. With a roar, he raised the axe in his hand high, and then swung it violently. In an instant, a black light rushed out like lightning and chopped straight at Wang Lu.

Facing this fierce attack, Wang Lu was not afraid. He turned sideways swiftly and easily avoided the black light. However, the powerful force carried by the axe should not be underestimated. Its sharp blade only brushed the corner of Wang Lu’s clothes, but at this moment, it also left a bottomless and shocking crack on the ground.

“It’s not that easy to kill me!” Wang Lu snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand danced quickly. Several sword qi shot out, forcing back the surrounding enemies. He took advantage of this gap to speed up and rushed towards a mysterious misty forest.

This mysterious and gloomy misty forest is located on the border of the battlefield outside the domain. Since ancient times, countless creepy legends have been circulated. It is said that there is a thick fog that never dissipates here, covering the entire forest like a huge maze; there are also countless ferocious beasts, strange traps and terrifying existences unknown to the world. However, at this moment, Wang Lu has no way out. Facing the brutal pursuers who are chasing him closely behind him, he knows that there is no other way to escape except to break into this dangerous misty forest.

So, he took a deep breath and resolutely plunged into the thick mist. In an instant, his figure was like being dragged into another world by an invisible big hand, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared from the sight of the pursuers. Only those exasperated pursuers were left stamping their feet and cursing on the spot, but they did not dare to rashly follow into this misty forest full of unknown dangers.

As if being pulled by the thread of fate, the two teams of the Demon Clan and the God Clan slowly came to the edge of the mysterious forest full of unknown dangers. They stopped and stared at each other, and sparks seemed to fly where their eyes met. There was a deep hesitation in the eyes of both parties, as if two clouds of fog shrouded their hearts.

Regarding the huge dangers hidden in this forest, both the Demon Clan and the God Clan had heard those horrifying legends. It is said that there are countless ferocious beasts living here, and there are all kinds of strange magic traps and deadly poisonous fog. Once you rashly break in, the chance of survival is very small.

However, when they recalled the rules of their respective tribes and the heroic tribesmen who had passed away, the sense of responsibility and mission in their hearts was like a powerful torrent that instantly broke through the dam of fear. Although they knew that the road ahead was difficult, in order to complete their mission and defend the honor of the tribe, they still gritted their teeth and took steps resolutely, following the figure in front of them into this gloomy and terrifying forest.

Wang Lu trudged through this mysterious place filled with thick fog, taking one step deep and one step shallow. Every step he took was extremely cautious, as if he would fall into an irretrievable situation if he was not careful. His nerves, which were already trembling slightly due to nervousness, were now stretched to the extreme. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he dared not miss even the slightest movement around him.

This thick fog was like a boundless and impenetrable huge net, tightly wrapping Wang Lu in it. It not only blocked his sight, making it difficult for Wang Lu to see the road ahead and the surrounding scenes, but also made the ups and downs and left and right blurred. In this way, it was simply a fool’s dream to accurately identify the correct direction.

At this moment, an extremely slight and almost inaudible “rustling” sound suddenly came into Wang Lu’s ears. The sound was vague, as if something was hiding in the dense grass and moving quickly through it. Wang Lu’s heart tightened, and he stopped moving forward instantly. At the same time, his right hand subconsciously clenched the cold and shining sword in his hand.

A huge mist beast with spikes all over its body rushed out of the mist and pounced on Wang Lu with its teeth and claws bared. This mist beast is a native of the forest and feeds on intruders.

Wang Lu did not retreat. He rushed towards the mist beast, and the sword in his hand drew a sharp arc. Although the spikes of the mist beast were hard, Wang Lu’s sword was sharper. After a few sword strikes, the mist beast fell to the ground and let out a painful roar.

After solving the fog beast, Wang Lu continued to move forward. But he didn’t know that he had unknowingly fallen into a more dangerous situation. In the depths of the forest, an ancient and evil force was watching him and the pursuers who entered the forest.

The teams of the Demon God Clan and the God Clan moved forward with difficulty in the fog, and they kept encountering various dangers. Some were trapped in traps in the fog, and some were attacked by beasts hidden in the dark. But they still didn’t give up, relying on their strong strength and firm determination, they approached Wang Lu step by step.

At this critical moment, Wang Lu keenly noticed that the pursuers behind him were gradually approaching him, and the breath they exuded seemed to form an invisible pressure, tightly enveloping him. Wang Lu’s heart tightened, and he quickened his pace without hesitation, but the opposite happened. As he continued to speed up, the fog around him became thicker and thicker. The mist was like a heavy curtain, wrapping him up layer by layer, making his sight only a few feet away, even to the point of being almost pitch-black!

Just when Wang Lu was anxious, he heard a crisp “click” and his feet suddenly lost support. Before he could react to what happened, he fell straight down like a kite with a broken string. It turned out that he had stepped into a huge bottomless trap hidden deep underground!

The bottom of the trap was densely covered with sharp stones, which were as sharp as fangs, as if waiting for the arrival of prey. Wang Lu was horrified in his rapid fall, but his years of practice experience made him calm down quickly. He kept twisting and turning his body in the air, trying to avoid those deadly sharp stones. At the same time, he held the sword in his right hand tightly and inserted it into the wall with force to slow down the speed of falling and maintain balance with the friction between the sword and the wall.

However, although Wang Lu tried his best to deal with this sudden crisis, he still couldn’t completely avoid being injured. With a loud “bang”, he finally fell heavily to the bottom of the trap. The moment he landed, a sharp pain came over him. Wang Lu looked down and saw that there were several deep and shallow wounds on his body. Blood was slowly flowing out of these wounds, dyeing the ground under his feet red.

“This is trouble.” Wang Lu frowned and looked at the towering walls around him, feeling a little desperate. He tried to use his sword to dig a groove on the wall that could be climbed, but the material of the wall was extremely hard, and his efforts had little effect.

Just when Wang Lu felt helpless, he heard the voices of the Demon God Clan and the God Clan from above the trap.

“That kid must have fallen into the trap. Let’s go down and take a look.”

“Be careful, don’t fall into his trap.”

Wang Lu’s heart suddenly clenched, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his heart. He knew that if those people found out that he was trapped here and couldn’t get out, then the only outcome waiting for him was death! Thinking of this, Wang Lu couldn’t help but take a breath, but he still gritted his teeth, forced himself to endure the severe pain from the wounds on his body, stood up with difficulty, and began to grope around at the bottom of the trap, trying to find other exits to escape the predicament.

After a hard search, finally, in a corner of the trap, Wang Lu’s eyes caught a glimmer of hope – there was an extremely narrow passage looming there. This passage was very well hidden, and if it wasn’t for deliberate observation, it would be difficult for anyone to notice its existence. However, Wang Lu had no time to care about too much at this time. He had only one thought in his mind: escape! So, he plunged into this passage without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the passage, a strong stench came to his nose, which was disgusting. Not only that, the space in the passage was extremely narrow and cramped. Wang Lu couldn’t even stand up straight, and could only crawl forward in a nearly crawling posture. Every step forward was a huge challenge for him. But even so, Wang Lu had no intention of retreating. He clenched his fists tightly, and with his strong desire to survive, he moved his body forward firmly and slowly…

In the dark, narrow, and damp passage, Wang Lu crawled hard. Time seemed to become extremely long, and every step forward required great effort. I don’t know how long it took, just when he felt a little tired and desperate, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of him.

This light was like a dawn in the darkness, instantly igniting the fire of hope deep in Wang Lu’s heart. He was refreshed, and his originally heavy body seemed to be full of strength again. He used his hands and feet to speed up his crawling forward.

As he got closer and closer to the light, Wang Lu’s heartbeat became more and more intense. Finally, when he came out of the other end of the passage with great effort, the scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide and exclaim in amazement.

It turned out that he was in an extremely huge cave. The size of this cave was beyond imagination, and it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance. The most eye-catching thing was the walls of the cave. Those walls were not made of ordinary rocks, but flashed with strange light. Looking closely, it seemed that they were inlaid with countless mysterious gems.

These gems emit colorful brilliance, some are as hot and dazzling as flames, while others are as cold and blue as ice; some shine with golden light, as if they contain endless wealth and power, and some are emerald green, like the soul of a vibrant forest. They complement each other, making the entire cave look dreamy and beautiful.

Wang Lu had just stepped into the cave, and before he had time to take a closer look at this mysterious place, he was disturbed by a loud noise. It was the sound of the pursuers, approaching this side fiercely like a hungry wolf. Obviously, they also noticed this passage and rushed into the cave at a very fast speed.

Wang Lu’s heart tightened, and he looked around in a hurry. The cave was dimly lit and full of strange rocks, but he could still vaguely distinguish that there were several exits distributed in different directions. Time was tight, and he could not afford to think more. Wang Lu randomly selected one of the exits and ran into it.

The ground under his feet was rugged and uneven. Wang Lu ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the footsteps and shouts of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. He didn’t dare to look back, for fear that he would be caught up by the enemy if he stopped for a moment. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind-get away from here as soon as possible!

This exit led to an underground river. The river was turbulent and bottomless. Wang Lu had no time to hesitate, and he jumped into the river. The river water was icy cold, and Wang Lu swam hard in the water, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

The pursuers of the Demon God Clan and the God Clan chased to the underground river. Looking at the turbulent river, they hesitated. But in the end, there were still a few bold Demon God Clan warriors who jumped into the river and continued to chase Wang Lu.

Wang Lu felt the pursuers behind him in the water, and he knew he couldn’t keep swimming like this. He saw a protruding rock on the river bank, so he swam towards the rock with all his strength. When he finally caught the rock, he was exhausted.

Wang Lu climbed up the rock and hid behind a boulder. After a while, the demon warriors swam over. They looked around in the water, looking for Wang Lu’s trace. Wang Lu held his breath, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

At this moment, a huge water monster jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed one of the demon warriors. The other demon warriors screamed in horror and swam towards the shore. Wang Lu watched this scene and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that this water monster was the guardian of this underground river, and he accidentally used its power to get rid of the pursuers.

However, before Wang Lu had time to be happy for too long, he found himself in a new dilemma. The place he was in was a maze-like underground cave group. He didn’t know how to get out, and the wounds on his body had begun to become inflamed and painful because they had been soaked in water for a long time.

Wang Lu struggled to move forward in the cave, his physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, and his steps became heavier and heavier. But he had only one belief in his heart – to survive and escape.

After countless setbacks and getting lost, Wang Lu finally saw a glimmer of hope. He found an upward passage, and there seemed to be sunlight coming in at the end of the passage. Wang Lu’s heart was lifted, and he used up his last bit of strength to crawl towards the passage.

When Wang Lu finally crawled out of the passage, he found that he had returned to the edge of the battlefield outside the domain. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a group of warriors from the Demon God Clan and the God Clan patrolling not far away.

Wang Lu knew that he had not completely escaped danger. He hid behind a huge rock and observed the surrounding situation. He found that these patrolling warriors did not seem to notice him, so he decided to leave quietly under the cover of night.
