NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Take It By Force
Carrying the heart-shaped stone, Lu Li soon arrived at the stone forest.
It was a man-made stone forest, with thousands of black rocks of various sizes, and their shapes were also very different.
Some were carved into dragons, snakes, tigers, and leopards.
Some were carved into all kinds of strange flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
However, most of the stones were carved into all kinds of ferocious ghosts and spirits.
The sky above him was extremely dark, and it was as if he had entered hell. The place gave out a terrifying and ferocious aura.
However, Lu Li was excited and did not care at all. He quickly swept his gaze across the stone statue.
“Not bad. I can test my Great Merciful Palm Technique here.”
Lu Li muttered to himself.
Then, he took a step forward and shouted loudly. He threw a palm strike at the Black Tiger statue in front of him.
Bang.
A loud explosive sound rang our.
The hard black rock exploded into small pieces of gravel, flying in all directions.
Lu Li did it just to deceive people.
If he directly headed toward the rock where the spirit ghost was located, he would probably caused suspicion.
Therefore, Lu Li used the excuse of practicing his demonic techniques as he was prepared to smash all the stone statues here. In the end, he ‘accidentally’ discovered another low-grade spirit ghost.
It seemed a little unnecessary.
However, he had already found a low-grade ghost spirit not long ago. If he caught another one, even a fool would be suspicious and wonder if he had any treasures that could detect the existence of the spirit ghosts.
The people of Demonic sect would suspect him for sure!
For the sake of his own safety, Lu Li decided to take it slow. He did not need to catch the spirit ghost immediately.
Thus, he began to practice his techniques and broke the stone statues one by one. At the same time, he began to look for the black rock that contained the spirit ghost.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Fragments flying in all directions.
Lu Li was like a stone crusher. Wherever he passed, the stone statues would explode and break into pieces.
In less than 10 minutes, hundreds of stone statues were destroyed by Lu Li.
However, he still could not find the black rock with the spirit ghost.
Lu Li was not in a hurry.
His Great Merciful Palm Technique was fierce and ruthless. His large palm brought up gusts of strong wind that smashed onto the stone statues and shattered them.
He was creating a powerful presence.
Lu Li was a little worried that it would attract other Netherworld Ghost sect disciples. Maybe someone would come and stop him as well.
Fortunately, no one came to stop him from practicing his techniques, and he did not see any other disciples appear.
Lu Li then calmly crushed the stone statues while continuing to search for the low-grade spirit ghost.
Finally, he found it!
That black rock was at the top left corner of the stone forest. It was at the edge of it!
Lu Li was slightly excited.
However, he did not reveal any expressions, and he moved his hands faster.
One by one, the stone statues were crushed and torn apart.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Li moved toward the top left corner.
Finally, after 10 minutes.
He came in front of this 3-foot-tall square black rock, and without saying a word, he attacked it with his palm.
Bang!
A 3-inch-deep palm print appeared on the black rock.
Then, the entire rock exploded, and the gravel flew in all directions, leaving behind a fist-sized ghost fog that remained where it was, flickering with a faint golden light.
As Lu Li looked closely, there was a tiny ghost monkey curled up in the ghost fog.
“Ha! Spirit ghost!”
Lu Li pretended to be pleasantly surprised. He stretched out his big palm and grabbed at the spirit ghost.
“Eh, it’s actually a low-grade spirit ghost?”
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the side.
Along with the sound, a sharp sound pierced through the air, and a white light shot over. It was as fast as lightning.
If Lu Li continued to extend his hand, his palm would definitely be hit by the white light!
Ambush!
Lu Li was slightly shocked, but he did not panic. With a flip of his big palm, a small black tower appeared out of his sleeve.
Without saying anything, he held the Ghost-Raising Tower and poured his mana into it.
Ding.
The Ghost-Raising Tower hit the white light and made an extremely clear sound.
Sparks flew in all directions.
The white light was sent flying back and fell into the hands of a young man.
It turned out to be a 3-inch-long silver needle.
With that, Lu Li grabbed the low-grade ghost spirit that was trying to escape with his other hand.
Then, he took back his Ghost-Raising Tower and looked at it. His expression changed slightly.
He saw that there was already a small hole in the tower of the Ghost-Raising tower, and the tower’s spiritual light was dim.
Obviously, it was damaged.
“Who are you?”
Lu Li’s expression was terrible, and his eyes were cold as he stared at the man in green who was 6 feet away.
The man was about 22 years old, with an aquiline nose, long hair, and a spooky face. He looked terrifying.
His aura was also very strong, and his was at the peak of his qi refinement realm!
The silver needle in his hand was definitely a high-grade spiritual tool!
“Brat, hand over the spirit ghost.”
The man in green stared at the spirit ghost in Lu Li’s hand and said sinisterly.
“What? I’m the one who found it.”
Lu Li narrowed his eyes.
“What a joke!”
The man in green looked disdainful. “That spirit ghost is mine! I’ve been in this stone forest for a very long time, waiting for it to come out!”
“Really? Why didn’t you come out just now? Why did you only come out when I shattered black rock and found the spirit ghost?”
Lu Li asked back.
Obviously, that guy was lying!
That person should have been wandering around nearby and heard the sound, hiding around to watch Lu Li practice his techniques.
In the end, when the spirit ghost appeared, he could not hold it in any longer and directly showed up to snatch it.
“Brat, don’t be pathetic! You’re at the fifth level of the qi refinement realm, and you actually dare to question me? Do you know who I am?”
The green-clothed man’s gaze was cold, and he was threatening Lu Li.
“I don’t know who the f*ck are you.”
Lu Li did not show the slightest fear as he replied coldly.
“Hmph!”
The green-clothed man snorted coldly, and he revealed an arrogant look as he said disdainfully, “I am the true disciple of the Blood Demon, and my elder brother is the last disciple of the Hell Master! You’re only at the fifth level of the qi refining realm. I think you’re just a normal disciple of some master in the Demonic sect. Don’t be pathetic. I’ve asked for the spirit ghost politely, so don’t blame me for being merciless. I’ll kill you with this Soul-Catching Needle!”
Eh?
Was he going to take it by force?
Lu Li’s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, “Senior Brother, it’s a big crime to kill your fellow disciples. You dare kill me?”
“I dare not, but…”
Hearing that, the green-clothed man put away his silver needle and let out an evil laugh as he looked toward the west.
When Lu Li saw this, he frowned and looked in that direction as well.
At that moment, in the forest to the west, a streak of golden light shot up into the sky. It flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in the sky.
It was a young man dressed in golden robes. He had a slender figure and fierce look. He rode his sword and appeared in the sky.
His appearance was actually 70% similar to the green-clothed man.
His was very strong, and his power was on par with Lu He!
“I’m a patrolling disciple. What happened?” The golden-robed man swept his gaze over and asked coldly.
“Senior Brother, this person destroyed my stone forest, stole my spirit ghost, and even injured me! You must punish him!”
The green-clothed man looked at Lu Li and said sinisterly.
His gaze was filled with malicious and killing intent.
That b*stard… He was lying. He actually blamed it on Lu Li!
Lu Li was about to explain.
“Oh? Is that so?”
At that moment, the golden-robed man opened his mouth as he looked at Lu Li sinisterly.
Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeve, and a large phantom hand appeared out of thin air. The phantom hand rushed toward Lu Li, trying to grab him.
Lu Li’s expression changed.
They were a gang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Li’s figure flashed, and 6 afterimages appeared.
Bang!
The phantom hand smashed the 6 afterimages into pieces, and ruthlessly slamming them onto the ground of the stone forest, creating a loud crashing sound.
At that time, Lu Li’s figure appeared not far away from them
“Eh? You’re still alive?”
When the golden-robed man saw this, a light flashed in his eyes. He raised his thumb, and the golden flying sword under his feet shone intensely. It was as bright as the sun and was about to shoot out.
The sound of the sword resonated loudly!
However, Lu Li took a deep breath and shouted, “Help! The Daoist cultivators have invaded the Demons Cave!”
