Chapter 262: Red-Haired Monster

He did not give much thought to why this was.

The strange woman hurriedly stirred the cultivation within her body to break the seal. Then, she was dumbfounded to discover that her cultivation was still locked tight by those Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Divine Chains, completely unable to circulate.

She was stunned, how could this be?

It was merely a seal of Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Divine Chains, so why couldn't her cultivation break through it? Calculating the time now, the cultivation in her body should have recovered almost completely.

"Look at me, answer me."

"What reason should I use to spare your life?"

Li Heng's expression was indifferent as he spoke slowly.

The strange woman hurriedly calmed down. She realized that she had fallen into a situation where she was highly likely to be doomed; she had no cultivation, and the Luoming Curse was also ineffective.

She was simply unable to deal with the danger before her.

"Fellow Daoist, how about we both pretend that nothing happened?"

The strange woman revealed a forced smile and spoke apologetically.

Li Heng's expression remained completely unmoved. He condensed a Dharma blade in his hand and slowly walked toward the strange woman, possessing an extremely strong oppressive force, as if he could make the strange woman's head roll to the ground in the next moment.

Did she really take him for a three-year-old child?

The strange woman swallowed her saliva, retreated a few steps inadvertently, and raised her hand, signaling Li Heng not to come any closer. "Fellow Daoist, wait, you cannot kill me. If you kill me, you will invite a great disaster!"

"Could it be that you would once again completely provoke the Sunset Organization for this tiny grievance? As long as you let me go, all kinds of heavenly treasures within my Sunset Organization will be yours to use, how about that?"

She was not stupid enough to use her own organization to threaten Li Heng.

Her own life was under someone else's blade, so she dared not be so arrogant. She simply stated the severity of the situation, enticing him with benefits. Everyone was an adult, right? Engaging in an exchange of interests was much better than a youth's impulsive emotions and killing people at will, wasn't it?

Li Heng smiled slightly upon hearing this and spoke nonchalantly.

"Forgot to tell you, I seem to have also slaughtered a member of the Sunset Organization before. Their strength was about the same as yours, and they also seemed to be some kind of Venerable?"

The strange woman felt a shock in her heart upon hearing this.

The death of Yin Long was related to this person? This person killed Yin Long!

Thinking of this, she lamented bitterly in her heart.

Why was she so unlucky to have provoked such a great killing star? If you were this strong, you should have said so immediately; why pretend to be as harmless as a human or livestock before!

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured about this."

"Yin Long, he died, so he died; it is of no importance."

For the sake of her own life, the strange woman bit the bullet and spoke against her conscience. In reality, the death of Yin Long was no small matter; Li Heng was already in an irreconcilable situation with the Sunset Organization.

But how could she dare to explain this point? Wouldn't that be courting death?

"You seem to be very good at telling lies."

Li Heng said leisurely.

"Fellow Daoist is joking, these are all the absolute truth."

The strange woman continued to bite the bullet.

Now that she had ventured deep into the Reincarnation Broken Road and her own cultivation was suppressed and sealed, she could not run away at all. She could only hope that her words could move Li Heng's heart and spare her for the time being.

"I ask you, what is the truth of the Sunset Organization?"

"Why does the Sunset Organization 'set'? How many powerhouses are there in this organization, and who is the strongest? What is your purpose in coming to search for this Reincarnation Broken Road and the Underworld Ruins? And how did you perceive that others had cultivated the Great Sun Path?"

"Tell me everything you know."

Li Heng spun the blade and asked nonchalantly.

"Fellow Daoist, if I speak, will you spare me?"

The strange woman continued to reveal a forced smile.

"Depends on my mood," Li Heng replied.

"Can this statement be a bit more precise? I need a firm guarantee from Fellow Daoist, otherwise, it is useless for me to speak. At the very least, I need to know what the standard for Fellow Daoist's happiness is."

The strange woman shook her head.

Li Heng sighed.

"That is a pity."

The Dharma blade fell, the life force was severed, and the head fell to the ground.

The strange woman's head widened its eyes, rolled a few times on the ground, and its expression was somewhat confused and puzzled, as if it had not expected Li Heng to be so decisive and kill her directly.

"I hate those who think they are clever."

Li Heng shook his head and spoke leisurely.

A spark was cast from Li Heng's finger, instantly igniting the strange woman's corpse. A moment later, the corpse was burned away, completely reduced to ashes.

Destroying the corpse and erasing the traces was a good habit.

At this moment, the sensation of Source Power being credited appeared in his mind.

Source Power +50,000.

Li Heng secretly said "as expected," it really was a Strange Monster of the Daxian Realm Peak. She died quite unjustly; first, she was exhausted and sealed by Li Heng while weak, and then her cultivation was suppressed by the Reincarnation Broken Road, otherwise, how could she have been killed so easily?

If they had fought with real blades and guns in the outside world.

Li Heng estimated.

If he did not use Source Power, it would really be hard to fight.

Ignoring the death of the strange woman, Li Heng looked again at the monster lying on the ground next to him, which no longer had any vitality or signs of life.

He strongly suspected that this thing was not dead.

Just now, after this monster was hit by the Luoming Curse, no sensation of Source Power being credited had been transmitted to his mind. Whether the Source Power was credited or not was a key point for him to verify whether an enemy was truly dead.

Just like just now, if he hadn't burned the strange woman's corpse.

The Source Power might really not have been credited.

He separated a sliver of Divine Sense and probed into the monster's body.

He discovered with surprise that this monster was not truly dead, or rather, this body was not dead and was still alive. However, the power of the Luoming Curse still occupied the brain of this body, having long since wiped away the intelligence that previously dominated it.

But if this corpse were left alone, after the residual power of the Luoming Curse dissipated, the corpse would still re-animate, deriving a new intelligence that would allow it to stand up once again.

"Interesting."

He pondered slightly, withdrew the power of the Luoming Curse, and then injected a sliver of power into this corpse to accelerate the speed at which it derived intelligence.

Very quickly, the corpse slowly stood up.

In the brain of this corpse resided a dim-witted intelligence that possessed only instinct. But suddenly, another change occurred in this corpse; the dim-witted intelligence became chaotic, frenzied, and extremely aggressive, and upon seeing Li Heng, it lunged directly at him.

Then, it was taught how to be a corpse by a single Luoming Curse from Li Heng.

Li Heng looked at the Luoming Curse Rune floating on his palm and smiled lightly, feeling that this thing was indeed quite useful, as it perfectly countered the monster formed from a natural corpse.

If he did not have this Secret Technique.

He would likely have to expend tens of thousands of Source Power to resolve it. Thinking of this, Li Heng shook his head and sighed, feeling that the Sunset Organization and that strange woman were truly good people.

Of course, while this thing was useful, it was also dangerous.

If not for the omnipotent Great Sun essence suppressing it within his body.

He would likely have really had to take a trip to the underworld.

Li Heng focused his attention and looked at this Heavenly Human Corpse again. He could roughly guess what the change that stimulated the intelligence to go mad, become chaotic, and turn extremely aggressive was.

It was likely the ferocity of this corpse.

For such a situation to occur, either this corpse was a ruthless person in life, such that even after dying so thoroughly, it could still influence the newly born intelligence through the ferocity remaining in the body.

Or this corpse had been subjected to Pollution.

It might even have been polluted while still alive. For example, encountering Inauspiciousness in one's later years, becoming muddled and unable to maintain one's intelligence...

Li Heng thought for a moment and felt that a Heavenly Human Corpse should not be wasted; did one not have to work overtime after death? What was he thinking? He decided to try and see if he could suppress the ferocity of this body.

With a thought, he condensed a touch of Great Sun Golden Light.

Afterwards, the Great Sun Golden Light submerged into this corpse, and according to Li Heng's will, it filled the entire body to suppress the ferocity; the next step was to withdraw the power of the Luoming Curse to stimulate the birth of intelligence.

Very quickly, the corpse stood up again.

However, at this moment, this re-animated corpse, the red-haired monster, did not attack him, but instead looked around, with a look of curiosity in its eyes, like a newborn just arriving in the world.

Li Heng nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that the Great Sun power within this Heaven and Earth specializes in curing all defiance, except for the Calamity and Unknown from outside Heaven and Earth, which it is somewhat weak against. But that is also a version issue; it will be fine once updated.

"Alright, from now on, I'll call you Red-Haired Monster."

"If you can give birth to a complete intelligence in the future, I can give you a surname; how about the surname Chen?"

Li Heng smiled slightly, patted the Red-Haired Monster on the shoulder, and then walked straight toward the end of the Ancient Path, wanting to walk into the confusing gray mist to see what the ruins and buildings within were.

Because the Red-Haired Monster's intelligence this time was related to Li Heng's operation, the dim-witted Red-Haired Monster had a good impression of Li Heng, so the Red-Haired Monster followed him obediently.

The man and the monster walked into the gray mist together.

Li Heng was alone in the gray mist, looking around; it was all gray, misty air, and he could not see anything; even when he probed with his Divine Sense, he received no feedback.

However, through his Heavenly Eye.

He could clearly see the Red-Haired Monster following right behind him.

This was actually very strange.

Because he could see the Red-Haired Monster only because of his constantly upgraded Heavenly Eye. But how could the Red-Haired Monster not lose him? There was no strange connection between him and the Red-Haired Monster.

Unless these mists could not affect the Red-Haired Monster at all. Or perhaps, in this place, these mists and the Red-Haired Monster had a connection.

Li Heng thought for a moment and made his figure vanish into the mist.

The Red-Haired Monster following behind Li Heng was stunned at the sight.

What happened?

Why did that thing he felt somewhat close to disappear?

He turned around and looked around, but still did not see it, immediately falling into confusion and staying in place, just as he had stood at the end of the Ancient Path before.

But very quickly, a sound rang out in his mind; the Red-Haired Monster instinctively followed this sound and wandered off in a certain direction, completely ignoring the visual obstruction of the gray mist.

Behind the Red-Haired Monster, Li Heng followed closely.

Li Heng discovered at this moment that this Red-Haired Monster was deep in the gray mist.

Moreover, as they went deeper, the surrounding gray mist became thicker and thicker; in the end, even his Heavenly Eye could not see through it, as his Heavenly Eye had not undergone the latest upgrade.

With a thought, his Great Sun Dharma Image slowly rose, and the light shone forward; as the light touched those gray mists, the gray mist about fifty meters ahead instantly dissipated.

A Zhanchang appeared before his eyes.

This is... seeing the scene before him.

Li Heng frowned.
