In the darkness, the shape of the monster's body could not be seen clearly. Only those three strange green eyes stared intently at Lu Chen. At that moment, Lu Chen almost subconsciously thought of Atsu. In the past, in the middle of the night, Atsu's eyes also had a similar fire-like glow.
But the two were different!
Lu Chen quickly made this judgment. Although Atsu's eyes were green, the luster in them was clean and bright. Although it looked a little gloomy in the dark, one could still feel the change of emotion in them. There was that kind of vitality. The emerald green eyes that suddenly appeared in front of him were much stronger than Atsu's eyes. They were like three burning green flames that were filled with a brutal and cruel aura, as if there was only the intention to kill left.
For some reason, after seeing this clearly, Lu Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his face quickly sank. He frowned and looked at the strange monster that suddenly appeared in the dark.
Of course, this thing was not a kind creature. Just the brutal aura that came from the dark was enough to make him categorize it as one of the most ferocious creatures he had ever seen in his life. Almost all the creatures that he had seen in the past were in the most dangerous places in this vast land of China, which was the depths of the Land of Chaos.
But this place was clearly the Kunlun Mountain, the Spiritual Mountain of the Western Land, the mountain base of the Kunlun Party. How could there be such a ferocious monster?
Many questions flashed in Lu Chen's mind, but he did not think too much about it. Because after the strange emerald green eyes confronted him for a moment, the monster seemed to be unable to suppress its desire for flesh and blood. It let out an ear-piercing shriek and suddenly rushed over.
The sound of the monster breaking through the air was incomparably sharp, like an arrow that had been released from a bow. Because of the monster's movement, Lu Chen vaguely saw a little of the monster's appearance. It looked like a strange snake-like insect. It was half the length of an arm and its body was only as thick as a thumb. However, it had a strange head the size of a fist. The most eye-catching and most terrifying three green eyes were on the top of the monster's head.
The whistling sound seemed to carry darkness with it as it rushed over. Lu Chen's face was as calm as still water. He took a step back and flipped his right palm. A black short sword appeared in his hand and he slashed it down.
However, the strange insect's speed was so fast that it actually made a turn in mid-air and avoided the sharp blade. It even took advantage of the situation and flipped up from the blade. In an instant, it curled around Lu Chen's wrist. Then, it lowered its head and directly bit Lu Chen's wrist.
These few movements were incomparably fast. The strange insect's speed was frighteningly fast, and Lu Chen couldn't react for a moment. He only felt a sudden sharp pain in his wrist, and at that moment, he seemed to hear another kind of frightening sound.
It was the sound of skin tearing and flesh scraping against bones. It was the sound of the terrifying strange insect devouring flesh and blood in a frenzy. Moreover, almost in an instant, the strange insect actually wriggled madly. Then, it directly drilled into the wound it had bitten, directly entering into Lu Chen's arm.
A terrifying and terrifying pain surged up from his arm like a tide. Lu Chen's palm trembled violently. At that moment, he instantly lost control of his right hand. His fingers loosened powerlessly and the black short sword fell to the ground.
And in the dim light in the darkness, he could even see a twisted and terrifying scar bulging on his skin. It was desperately twisting, constantly rushing up his arm. It seemed that in a short moment, the strange insect would rush through his shoulder blade and straight into his chest to gnaw at his heart, lungs, and five internal organs.
In this dark night, it was suddenly filled with infinite terrifying killing intent. It was as if the whole world had turned into a sheet of ice.
Lu Chen suddenly snorted coldly. A dark flame suddenly lit up from the depths of his eyes. At the same time, in the most secret depths of his body, the quiet and lonely Five Elements Divine Plate suddenly trembled violently and then suddenly flipped over.
The black Divine Plate appeared again. That dot of black flame burned in his Qi Sea. In an instant, the black flame flourished!
The strange insect in his arm suddenly stopped. It seemed that in that instant, it also felt something. Even in front of his flesh and blood, this strange insect unexpectedly showed a trace of inexplicable fear. It actually had some intention of retreating.
However, the darkness had arrived!
Like a roar on a boundless dark sea, the endless darkness instantly boiled up and crazily surged towards Lu Chen's body from all directions. The cold wind blew and the darkness whistled. It was like a crazy dance, surrounding the cluster of dark flame in the deepest depths of the shadow.
An ice-cold aura dispersed in all directions. There was no longer the slightest mercy or anger. A terrifying and murderous aura suddenly rose from Lu Chen's body. It rolled back and directly rushed from his body towards the strange insect's right arm.
The dark flame flickered in this tidal wave. It was like a ferocious smile opening the mouth of an evil spirit to devour all living beings.
This murderous aura was even more tyrannical, more terrifying, and more merciless than the aura that the strange insect had just revealed.
That strange insect's tyrannical aura seemed to crazily devour flesh and blood. But the murderous aura in Lu Chen's body seemed to be born purely for killing. It wanted to destroy everything and wipe out all the vitality of all living beings!
In the darkness, Lu Chen opened his eyes and stood upright. His body suddenly shook. Then, countless black flames suddenly gushed out from his body, burning wildly. But the strange thing was that his clothes were not damaged at all. He looked like a burning man made of black fire.
The strange insect suddenly trembled violently, and then it retreated madly. However, it was already too late. The tide of darkness was like a monstrous wave that surged into the heavens, and it charged directly into Lu Chen's right arm. After that, it drowned the strange insect that was hidden within his flesh.
Everything, in an instant, was silent!
After the tide, the world was as quiet as before. Only Lu Chen's body was still standing in the darkness, gently gasping for breath.
After a moment, he slowly raised his right hand and then gently shook it.
With a 'pa ta', a small piece of burnt black shrunk to the size of a little finger, as hard as a rock, fell out from his wound. Then, it heavily hit the ground and rolled twice.
The night wind was cold, blowing past his body.
Lu Chen felt a chill from his forehead, neck, and back. Only now did he discover that in that instant, his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
The black flames were still burning in his eyes. The tide of darkness was still surging in his body. He gently gasped for breath, feeling a trace of trembling.
The surging black flames gradually calmed down. Then, they slowly retreated, shrinking back into his body. The night once again calmed down. Even the darkness became gentle, gently clustered around him, comforting his body.
But at this time, in the strange black tide that was gradually returning to the energy sea, Lu Chen suddenly felt a trace of a different aura. It was a new aura with a murderous and tyrannical aura. It was the aura that the black flames had plundered after killing the strange insect.
In the past, when he had this strange and strange black disc, every time he killed a living being, a trace of a similar aura would be absorbed into the black flames on the black disc. Then, it would nourish and strengthen the black flames.
Lu Chen didn't understand it, nor did he like this sort of feeling. It was even to the extent that he faintly had the feeling that if this continued, then he would probably sink into this terrifying slaughter one day and be doomed eternally.
Therefore, after that, he rarely killed living beings, unless it was absolutely necessary and when he had to protect himself. But this night, the aura he felt was completely different from the previous slaughter. The murderous aura that had been plundered was strong and abundant, almost ten times stronger than any slaughter in the past.
And after absorbing this strong new power, the black flames on the black disc in Lu Chen's energy sea seemed to instantly grow larger. In that dark world, it burned quietly, as if it was showing a mocking smile to the owner of this body.
Lu Chen stood in place in silence for a long time. Then, he closed his eyes.
After a long time, when he opened his eyes again, the black flames had disappeared. The surrounding night wind had cooled down and was no longer harsh. It blew through the forest as if nothing had happened in the night.
Lu Chen took a step forward and squatted down.
There was a black thing on the ground.
He picked up the black dagger that had fallen to the side and gently fiddled with it. After confirming that there was nothing strange, he picked it up again.
This was the remains of that strange insect.
Under the burning of the terrifying and violent black flames in his body, this strange insect had almost no ability to resist and was directly killed. Then, its entire body was instantly incinerated, leaving only some of the hardest residue that was gathered together and turned into this black and hard stone.
Of course, the strange green eyes were gone, but when Lu Chen's finger slowly brushed across this black stone, he could still vaguely feel some soul-stirring patterns and traces. The residue of the bones and sharp teeth had fused together. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, this thing was still in the flesh, like a bloodthirsty demon.
Why would there be such a terrible and cruel monster in the Kunlun mountains?
No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for this kind of thing to appear in the Kunlun mountains. There were two Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivators, dozens of Yuanying Stage Perfected Cultivators, and more powerful cultivators. There were about a hundred thousand people in the famous sects. Any slightly more ferocious demon beasts had long been driven away.
And Lu Chen was very sure that he had never heard of this kind of thing. No one in the Kunlun Party had ever mentioned it.
It seemed that no one had ever known that this kind of monster that suddenly appeared in the night had only appeared out of thin air tonight.
Where did it come from …
Lu Chen's brows were tightly furrowed. His palm tightly grasped the charred remains of the stone. He looked into the distance, only to see the shadows of the distant mountains. The darkness seemed to be everywhere.
