Chapter 102: Strange Demon
Tar Desert.
Li Huanyun of the Two Yang Finger had a miserable look on his face.
"Am I going to die here?"
After leaving Fenglan Royal City, he had come to the Tar Desert to challenge the Red Lotus Enchantress, who was in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
This time, if he defeated the Red Lotus Enchantress, his fame in the Jianghu would rise to a new level.
However, just after he and the Red Lotus Enchantress had been in a state of mutual affection, he discovered her corpse the very next day.
That corpse was extremely Ghost-like, as if it had been burned by fire.
In the end, he discovered a Ghost-like person, or rather, not a person, but a corpse made of charcoal.
That person would often spontaneously combust.
When he spontaneously combusted, he would lose his sanity.
This was extremely Ghost-like and terrifying.
It exceeded his understanding.
At this moment, his heart was incomparably anxious.
In front of him, the flames dissipated, and a human figure gradually appeared.
"It's over." Feeling the opponent's powerful aura, Li Huanyun felt despair.
The opponent's strength was likely something even a Grandmaster could not match.
Just at this moment, Li Huanyun suddenly froze.
Not far from him, a group of people was rushing toward his side.
The person in the lead was a young boy.
He took a glance and immediately recognized that person.
Qi Mu, the young master of the Ping'an Escort Agency in Lin'an City, someone he had met once before.
He immediately became anxious: "Brother, run quickly, there is danger here!"
After shouting this sentence, he prepared to run.
At this moment, he was very conflicted; on one hand, he was glad that others had come, as this gave him a chance to escape; on the other hand, this group of people might suffer an unprovoked disaster.
Of course, without him, this group from the Ping'an Escort Agency would also die.
However, just as Li Huanyun finished speaking, Qi Mu, the young master of the Ping'an Escort Agency, flew over.
That speed was even faster than Li Huanyun's.
Li Huanyun was slightly stunned; wasn't Qi Mu, whom he had met once before, just the young master of a small escort agency?
This skill was even stronger than his own, right?
Could it be that Qi Mu was also a hidden powerhouse on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?
"Little brother, run quickly, there is great danger there." Li Huanyun gave a final warning, pointed out the location of the fire person, and then immediately fled.
Beside him, a smile appeared in Lin Chao's eyes: "Finally found him."
At this time, that fire person also seemed to have discovered Lin Chao's figure, and a sharp light emerged in his eyes.
"Damn it, all Spirit Persons should die."
The fire person muttered and charged toward the crowd.
His entire body radiated a scorching aura; he was still over ten meters away from the crowd, yet everyone felt a heatwave rushing toward them.
Li Huanyun fled in a panic.
If he didn't run now, when would he?
Just then, however, Lin Chao suddenly made a move.
"Finally found you, Meng Lie."
Lin Chao struck, his figure shifting rapidly, and he pressed a palm onto the fire person's chest.
Heat, endless heat.
Among it, there was also a special kind of pollution rushing in.
That kind of pollution was somewhat like the Ghost, yet different.
This kind of pollution instantly spread across Lin Chao's entire body.
This made Lin Chao slightly stunned: "Sure enough, the Immortal Corpse Bone implies misfortune."
Even with the pollution, Lin Chao still felt no fear.
Any solidified talent could be brought by him into his reincarnation.
Therefore, at this moment, he still possessed the No-Refusal Dao Heart.
Instantly, that terrifying pollution, upon touching Lin Chao, dissipated and vanished.
Lin Chao looked at Meng Lie and struck again: "Break."
The fire person's strongest pollution was useless against Lin Chao.
The fire person's power was comparable to a Heavenly Human, but so what?
Lin Chao's strength had long since surpassed that of a Heavenly Human.
Although his current realm had been unable to break through, it had been far beyond that of a Grandmaster for a long time.
Thus, this fire person, who was the incarnation of Meng Lie, was directly beaten up by Lin Chao.
All of the fire person's attacks were ineffective against Lin Chao.
Not far away, Li Huanyun stopped his steps, looking at the scene before him, his heart incomparably shocked.
"Could he... be Qi Lin?"
Li Huanyun was shocked in his heart.
Li Huanyun naturally knew of the news that Qi Lin had borrowed the light of ten thousand homes to burn ten thousand troops.
He had never seen the Jubei King Heir, but he had not expected the Jubei King Heir to be the Qi Mu before his eyes.
Does that not mean they had met three times?
On the other side, the flames on the Fire Person's body were becoming fewer and fewer.
Meng Lie's strength had already exceeded the scope of Martial Arts.
However, in front of Lin Chao, it was simply not enough to look at.
Like a sandbag, he was being thrashed by Lin Chao.
No-Refusal Dao Heart!
In that instant, Lin Chao used the No-Refusal Dao Heart.
This time, it was used on Meng Lie.
Meng Lie's eyes had a moment of clarity.
He looked at his own arms, then looked at Lin Chao, and suddenly laughed loudly: "To think Martial Arts could reach this stage; why did I use the Immortal Corpse Bone back then and suffer that kind of sin?"
Meng Lie laughed loudly, his voice choked with sobs.
When he saw Lin Chao's Martial Arts strength, he felt that his entire Martial Arts path in the first half of his life had been wrong.
In order to break through his realm, he used the Immortal Corpse Bone, harmed the lives of his loved ones, and schemed against others.
He had gained powerful strength, but he had also been corrupted and lost.
"If I had been born a hundred years later and met you, I fear I would not have ended up like this," Meng Lie sighed.
At this moment, his state was very poor.
Or rather, for the first time in nearly a hundred years, he had regained clarity and was no longer muddled.
Lin Chao looked at the Fire Person, his gaze calm.
At this time, Meng Lie spoke: "The Immortal Corpse Bone remaining in this world will only bring disaster to the human realm and bring catastrophe to this world.
This old man has been wrong for a lifetime and cannot atone for his sins; I ask that you, young hero, destroy the Immortal Corpse Bone on behalf of the common people of this world!"
The Meng Lie at this moment was no longer that arrogant Heavenly Human, but instead like an old man who had done something wrong and was filled with immense regret.
"What... is inside the Immortal Corpse Bone?" Lin Chao asked, his gaze carrying a trace of doubt.
This change in Meng Lie made him feel strange, a bit like the Bronze King.
"It is the Alien Demon," Meng Lie said, his eyes filled with a look of fear. "The Alien Demon brings disaster to all living things and devours endless worlds.
In the end, the Alien Demon was wiped out by the Spirit Person.
A few Alien Demons fled to the Heaven Beyond Heaven of our world.
The Immortal Corpse Bone was contaminated by the Alien Demon.
Consuming the Immortal Corpse Bone will eventually turn one into a seed of the Alien Demon.
Waiting for the day when the Alien Demon will eventually revive.
This is all the information I obtained after turning into an Alien Demon.
Unfortunately, with my strength, I am only considered insignificant among the Alien Demons."
Mentioning this, a look of despair appeared in Meng Lie's eyes.
He seemed to see the future of this world.
Lin Chao frowned.
He could not help but recall the scene he saw when he was Lin Pingzhi in his past life while Shattering the Void.
He immediately asked: "Did you see a vast white scene, where there was gelatinous liquid everywhere?"
Meng Lie's eyes widened: "You have seen the nest of the Alien Demon?
The Alien Demon revives right within the demonic liquid.
Everyone who comes into contact with the Immortal Corpse Bone will become its nourishment."
Lin Chao frowned.
He could not help but speculate in his heart.
Could it be that this Immortal Corpse Bone was when he, as Lin Pingzhi in his past life, Shattered the Void and entered the nest of the Alien Demon?
In the end, his Divine Soul perished, and his corpse bone, carrying Fenglan, arrived in this world?
Lin Chao suddenly remembered that when he was talking with Wu Xiangyi, Wu Xiangyi had once said that Fenglan was well-acquainted with that Immortal.
Once, the Immortal came to Fenglan, attended the Fenglan Temple Fair, and even took a hundred strikes from a staff.
This almost perfectly matched the experience of Lin Ping.
Lin Chao looked at Meng Lie and finally asked: "May I ask, if the Immortal Corpse Bone is implanted in the body, is there a way to remove it?"
