Chapter 381: Life, Death, and Luck

nary cultivator would find it impossible to understand what Lu Xia Tian was saying. Perhaps those with extensive knowledge could discern that Lu Xia Tian was reciting ancient Sanskrit incantations fro...Lu Xia Tian's face paled in shock. Although the blue centipede emerging from the shattered bead seemed to have significantly diminished strength, its aura was undeniably that of a seventh-rank cultivator, equivalent to a Golden Core initial stage cultivator. Lu Xia Tian had seen Golden Core cultivators before, even a seventh-rank Fire Jiao. For such an aura, there was absolutely no way he could be mistaken.

The Shaba let out a series of eerie, cackling laughs. Its jaws opened wide, and the azure Soul Centipede slithered directly into its mouth.

...Ugh! The Maha Blood Toad, who had previously merged with Shaba, looked rather disheveled as it was squeezed out. It landed headfirst on the ground and looked at its original master, Shaba, with a look of alarm.

After separating from the Mahā-Ketra, Shaba's originally bloated, toad-like body became lean and shrunken like a punctured balloon. With a ripping sound, Shaba's already tattered clothes seemed to be torn apart by something. When it fully emerged, it was revealed that two rows of centipede feet had sprouted from beneath his ribs, and the muscles and bones on his face were creaking like beans popping. In an instant, the burly man with thick eyebrows and a large face now twisted into a grotesque visage, looking indistinguishable from a humanoid centipede.

The scene before his eyes had completely overturned Lu Xiaodao's perception. He was already amazed by the sight of cultivators merging with their spirit beasts, but to think that they could also merge with beast souls was beyond his wildest imagination. With the power of the beast soul, his combat strength skyrocketed.

At this time, Lu Xiaoteng was not unwilling to escape. Rather, he found that he seemed to have been locked in by the other party's terrifying aura. He wanted to flee but couldn't. Any movement he made could possibly result in a thunderous strike from the opponent.

"You actually made my Wucun Battle Bead disappear just like that You are truly dead! Now, come and receive your death sentence!"

The Shaba's flames soared into the sky, and its centipede-like limbs moved like a scythe toward Lu Xia Tian's neck. Its speed was far beyond anything it had done before, even Lu Xia Tian, with his strength, could hardly dodge. What's more, he was already heavily wounded. But after merging with the Wuhun, the Shaba not only remained unaffected, its power had been terrifyingly enhanced.

Even so, Lu Xia Tian was by no means willing to sit idly by and wait for death. With his current strength, his movement speed was far inferior to the opponent's, and it wasn't very realistic to want to escape.

A yellow light flashed, and the Earth-man puppet controlled by the deputy avatar retracted its great hammer, holding a thick earthen shield in both hands to block the Sand King's path.

"Bang!" Shaba's centipede legs struck the thick shield, and even the sixth-rank peak Earth Golem puppet, renowned for its defense and towering over two zhang tall, was sent flying by this single blow.

Shaba's figure only trembled slightly before taking another large step forward, his eyes fixed on the silver-haired youth before him like he was looking at a dead person. No matter how many tricks this silver-haired youth had up his sleeve or how many treasures he possessed, what difference did it make He was now helpless against this power that surpassed even that of a Qi Refining cultivator. Even a genius like this silver-haired youth would die in his hands.

Ever since he unexpectedly obtained the Soul-devouring War Pearl, he had used it several times to kill powerful enemies, turning the tide of battles that were initially destined for defeat. He gained unexpected benefits from defeating these formidable foes, ultimately leading to his current level of power, making his ten-plus disciples and junior sisters unconditionally obedient. However, what a pity, the remaining power within the Soul-devouring War Pearl was dwindling; it was estimated that it would be completely consumed after this battle. Previously, when he wasn't as powerful as he is now, he had only slain top cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage. The silver-haired youth before him had almost reached the limit attainable by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not to mention the golden core female cultivator. Even if the Soul-devouring War Pearl completely vanished, obtaining the artifacts from these two individuals would be enough for him to make a fortune.

At this thought, a covetous glint flashed across Shaba's face.

>>>With a whoosh! As the earthen puppet was sent flying by Shaba, Lu Xia Tian had quietly instructed Emperor Kun to place a high-grade gold-system spirit stone inside the golden puppet's body.

Facing a Shaba whose attack power had already surpassed the endurance of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, Lu Xiaoteng forcefully ordered Di Kun to stay back, then without hesitation took out the Wind Armor Talisman. No matter how precious the Wind Armor Talisman was, his own life was more valuable. Facing Shaba's next attack, Lu Xiaoteng knew he couldn't dodge it at all, and this was his only option.

The Wind Armor did not disappoint Lu Xia Tian, blocking Sha Ba's attack. However, the green armor and the green light on it trembled.

"A seventh-order wind system defensive talisman" Shaba looked at the silver-haired youth who had been knocked away along with his wind armor, a look of surprise on his face. His expression immediately darkened, and a blood-red light flashed in his eyes like that of a gambler. He was already at his wit's end. Almost all of his disciples, both brothers and sisters, had died in battle. Only that damned Chameleon Lizard had betrayed him and fled. The Wuhun War Pearl was his last resort, but he had run into a seventh-order defensive talisman.

Shaba knew very well that this seventh-grade defensive talisman could withstand a full strike from an early Jindan cultivator. The centisoul he summoned was also of the seventh grade, but he had used this centisoul battle bead many times, and its power was almost exhausted. Relatively speaking, it was enough to deal with not just one Qi Refining cultivator, but even a whole group of them.

But unexpectedly, this silver-haired youth, who had been attacked by the Flying Cavalry tribe before and risked being injured without using his Wind Armor Talisman, actually saved it until now.

Shaba's heart suddenly felt a pang of panic. With his current strength, the powerful Wu Hun might not be able to break through the silver-haired youth's wind armor. After all, he could withstand the full force of a Golden Core Stage cultivator. Although his attacks were formidable, they were still far inferior to those of a Golden Core cultivator.

Just then, Shaba had no way out. The price he paid for this battle was so heavy that he absolutely couldn't return empty-handed.

At this time, Shaba was like a gambler, rushing forward and launching a frenzied attack on Lu Xiaoteng. His hands, which had transformed into centipede feet, struck Lu Xiaoteng's body like phantoms.

The overwhelming aura emanating from Shaba was waning with every attack, while the wind armor on Lu Xiaottian gradually faded under Shaba's relentless assaults.

Lu Xia Tian felt a wry smile in his heart, at this moment both sides were purely relying on luck. If the wind armor on his body dissipated first, he would be the loser. If the strange and powerful strength of this burly man ran out first, then the burly man would die last. Even if he still had a powerful thunder pearl on him, at the burly man's speed, they had never pulled away enough distance. Even if it was used, it would be a mutual destruction. Lu Xia Tian would absolutely not use it before the very last moment.

For Lu Xiaoteng, who had faced several powerful enemies before, this was the first time he was entrusting his life and death to luck.ckwater Domain before” 。"Xiang Kuang was startled." 。"It's highly likely, otherwise why wait for the Black Tide to recede" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。If it were...
