Chapter 452 Du Ruhui! ?
Lu Yuguan turned his head sharply, his pupils shrinking.
From the shadows of the forest, a figure slowly emerged, surrounded by ominous black mist, completely out of place in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts.
It was Du Ruhui.
But now he looks completely different.
His eyes were sunken, his pupils were blood red, and his once handsome features were distorted by resentment.
He has clearly fallen into the demonic path!
"Master Du?"
Lu Yuguan looked on incredulously.
"How will you be here?"
Du Ruhui laughed sinisterly, his voice hoarse and grating.
"Why can't I be here?"
His gaze swept over Li Le's corpse on the ground, then returned to Lu Yuguan's face.
"It's you..."
“Lu Yuguan, I never expected you to seek your own death by coming here.”
Lu Yu's mind was filled with alarm bells. Suppressing her shock, she demanded sharply:
Why are you in the Cao family's forbidden area?
"It shouldn't be..."
Du Ruhui interrupted with a sneer, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Should be what?"
"Like a stray dog, expelled from the Xuanyu Sect, living in constant fear and anxiety?"
His tone became increasingly sinister.
"If it weren't for your top-grade furnace, how could I have failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!?"
"How could you have been expelled from the Xuan Yu Sect and fallen to this state?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuguan angrily rebuked, "This is all your own fault!"
"If you hadn't been so wicked and coveted other people's physiques, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"It's your own fault?"
Du Ruhui seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and suddenly took a step forward, his demonic energy erupting.
"What do you know!?"
He roared, his face contorted in rage, a hint of obsession flashing in his eyes.
"If I had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage back then... the one I, Du Ruhui, should have married was Lu Hua!"
"Not that good-for-nothing Bai Zheng!"
boom!
Lu Yuguan trembled violently, his mind going completely blank.
How do you know my mother's name?!
Du Ruhui looked at his shocked expression and let out a piercing laugh like a night owl.
"Hahaha……"
"I know more than just what I know?"
"Back when we were adventuring in the Western Regions, Bai Zheng and I discovered her together. Such a woman of unparalleled beauty should belong to me!"
"It's Bai Zheng!"
"He tricked Luhua with sweet words!"
Lu Yuguan, consumed by rage, shouted angrily, "Shut up! You are not allowed to insult my father!"
"Father?"
Du Ruhui stared at him menacingly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Even now, don't you understand...?"
"Aren't you Bai Zheng's son at all?"
what! ?
Lu Yuguan was struck dumb, frozen in place, his mind going completely blank.
"You...you're talking nonsense..."
His lips trembled, and he could barely make a sound.
Not Bai Zheng's son?
How can this be?
When I first entered the family, my father said that his blood flowed in my veins!
Du Ruhui enjoyed his distraught appearance, his face full of pleasure.
"Poor thing..."
"The third young master of the Bai family is actually a bastard who doesn't even know who his biological father is!"
His tone suddenly shifted, becoming hysterically resolute.
"However, none of this matters!"
"It's over!"
"It's all over!"
Du Ruhui spread his arms wide, pointed at Li Le's corpse on the ground, and laughed wildly.
"Li Ping personally killed his own brother and seized his dragon energy!"
"Once he kills the crown prince and gathers the last dragon energy on the continent, he can break through the shackles, ascend to immortality, and enter the realm of gods!"
"At that time, who on the entire continent will be able to stop him!?"
Lu Yuguan felt ice-cold all over.
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head!
That's it!
No wonder Li Ping hasn't shown up in Dongxuan yet!
He went after Li Le first!
and many more……
Prince!
Li Chonglin is in danger!
Du Ruhui looked at his suddenly changed expression, grinned maliciously, and approached step by step.
"Boy..."
"Knowing so many secrets, you still think you can leave alive?"
This is where you will die!
"Take your life!"
Before he could finish speaking, Du Ruhui suddenly sprang into action!
The dense demonic energy transformed into a giant black claw, accompanied by a shrill ghostly howl, and went straight for Lu Yuguan's heart with astonishing speed!
obviously.
After falling into the demonic path, Du Ruhui's strength increased rather than decreased, and he successfully entered the Nascent Soul stage!
"not good!"
Although Lu Yuguan was greatly shaken, he reacted extremely quickly in this life-or-death situation!
"May the Jianmu tree bestow blessings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two emerald green Dao patterns appeared on his cheeks, and his cultivation level instantly soared to the late Nascent Soul stage!
"The beginning of spring breeze!"
"Here comes the knife!"
Lu Yuguan grabbed the butcher's knife and swung it forward with all his might!
boom……
The demonic claws and the blades clashed violently, creating a shockwave that sent the lake water soaring several meters high!
"puff!……"
Lu Yuguan felt a sweet taste in his throat.
Du Ruhui's strength is much greater than it was when he was in the Xuanyu Sect!
"Tsk tsk..."
"As expected of a top-grade furnace."
Du Ruhui licked his lips, his eyes burning with even greater greed.
"If I had obtained you as my furnace in the first place, why would I have needed to rely on this filthy demonic energy!?"
As he spoke, his attacks became even faster, his demonic claws flashing, and streaks of black energy coiled around him like venomous snakes.
Lu Yu's thoughts were racing.
Du Ruhui's demonic energy is overwhelming; a direct confrontation is definitely not the best strategy.
We must find a way to get out of here!
Inform Li Chonglin of Li Ping's actions!
He glanced at Li Le's corpse, spotted an opening, and unleashed a barrage of thorny bushes that wrapped around Li Le's body and quickly pulled him back.
"Still trying to steal the body?"
Du Ruhui snorted coldly and unleashed a burst of demonic energy towards the thorns!
Swish!
The thorns snapped instantly!
Lu Yuguan seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, simultaneously forming hand seals:
"Sting Thunder!"
Lightning flashed across the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck directly at Du Ruhui's head!
Lu Yuguan kept his eyes fixed on the front.
Even if this attack doesn't cripple them, it can at least slow them down for a moment!
however.
Du Ruhui neither dodged nor avoided the lightning, which silently annihilated the demonic energy upon contact with it!
"how so……"
"My demonic body is complete; what can mere lightning magic do to me?"
Du Ruhui let out a sinister laugh, and the pitch-black demonic energy, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, roared in with astonishing speed!
Lu Yuguan felt a chill run down his spine and activated his defense with all his might.
"Black Water Tortoise Armor!"
"Strong wood protects the body!"
Black tortoise shell and wooden armor instantly overlapped, with a flowing spiritual light!
Click!
The moment the demonic energy touched it, the wooden armor shattered first, followed closely by the Black Water Tortoise Armor, which crumbled into dust!
“Ugh!——”
Lu Yuguan felt a tightness in his chest, and was sent flying backward, crashing down beside the bluestone.
Du Ruhui approached slowly, his demonic power as imposing as a mountain.
"Give up..."
"I have already reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage. Even if you have a thousand tricks up your sleeve, how long can you hold out?"
Lu Yuguan's breathing quickened, and his gaze swept to his side.
Li Le lay quietly, the claw marks on his back a shocking sight.
No.
He cannot die here.
Li Chonglin is still in seclusion!
Suddenly, a cruel thought flashed into my mind.
Half-dragons... also possess inner cores.
A hint of guilt flashed in Lu Yuguan's eyes: "I'm really sorry, Senior Li Le..."
He whispered something, then with his right hand, fingers together like a knife, he plunged it into Li Le's abdomen!
puff!
It feels cool and sticky to the touch.
Despite his discomfort, Lu Yuguan pulled out an inner core the size of a pigeon egg!
