Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Third Life: 1,000-Year-Old Demon Locust Tree, Bone-Eroding Poisonous Fog

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Hour of the fifth watch.

Lu Yuan awoke from his slumber, his eyes betraying a trace of doubt.

Normally, around the hour of the fourth watch, the crowing of roosters would be heard.

But today, it was eerily quiet, with not a sound emanating from the vast escort agency!

”Something’s amiss.”

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, just as he was about to get out of bed.

”Creak!”

Just then.

The door opened on its own, a bone-chilling wind gusting through the crack, causing him to involuntarily shiver!

Lu Yuan turned his head to look.

He saw that outside the door, the courtyard had been shrouded in a grey mist unbeknownst to him.

Lu Yuan’s vision was blocked by the grey mist, rendering him unable to see beyond a single zhang!

This discovery was shocking, sending alarm bells ringing in his mind.

To know that a martial cultivator, at the level of a Third Grade Qi Gathering Realm, had gradually surpassed the limits of mortal flesh, with vision and hearing far beyond ordinary men.

On normal occasions, he could clearly see even an ant a hundred zhang away!

Yet this grey mist seemed to isolate all sounds and sights, and if one were suddenly encased within it, the five senses would be greatly weakened, even inferior to mere mortals!

Especially as the grey mist spread.

The entire doorway gradually vanished, and apart from the bed upon which Lu Yuan was situated, everything within sight had disappeared without a trace!

Moreover, within the grey mist, shadowy figures loomed.

Many indistinct silhouettes lingered at the door, occasionally casting icy glances at Lu Yuan!

These figures included men and women, elderly and children, their faces indistinct.

Their mouths alone were all adorned with eerie smiles!

”How could one be haunted in broad daylight?”

Since the simulation began.

This was the first time Lu Yuan encountered such a strange occurrence, even though he was a strong practitioner of the Qi Gathering Realm, his heart was somewhat uneasy.

Suddenly, mindful of a fleeting thought, he focused on the grey mist before him.

Soon enough, information began to appear in his mind.

[Martial Technique: Bone-Eroding Poisonous Fog (Weakened Version)]

[Grade: Earth Tier]

[Introduction: While enlightening at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, the Thousand-Year Demon Locust Tree from Black Wind Ridge imitated Divine Sea powerhouses, manipulating Heaven and Earth primordial energy to self-create an ultimate skill.]

[Once unleashed, all within ten li will be enshrouded, and any living being within will be eroded and perish due to high toxicity!]

[Note: The Tiger Demon’s cultivation is insufficient, so the power of its Bone-Eroding Poisonous Fog is less than one percent of the Thousand-Year Demon Locust Tree’s.]

[However, due to its unique qualities, it paved an alternative path, creating a new technique, Bone-Eroding Ghostly Mist, which uses grey mist to create Chong Ghosts, weakening martial cultivators’ power and senses by killing living beings!]

”Pretending to be ghosts, it turns out to be merely the Tiger Demon working behind the scenes!”

Once he figured out the enemy’s origin, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing the enemy’s identity left nothing to be wary of.

He grabbed the Blood Slaughter Saber and sprang up from the bed.

The Wind and Thunder Power flowed unrestrainedly through the saber handle, infusing into the Blood Slaughter Saber.

Countless complex lines lit up in succession, a substantial crimson blade light suddenly shot forth!

Wind and Thunder Saber Technique Second Move: Exorcism!

The most resilient wind and thunder true qi was the bane of all malevolent specters.

Moreover, the Blood Slaughter Saber, bathed in countless people’s blood, was a supreme fierce weapon, its intense evil qi causing even spirits to tremble!

The Chong Ghosts didn’t even have time to react before being cleaved by the saber light, instantly vaporizing into smoke and disappearing into the air.

”Boom!”

The Wind and Thunder true qi surged, purging all demons and malevolent spirits.

A series of thunder arcs slithered through the air like serpents.

All the grey mist swiftly dissipated, retreating like the tide, finally revealing the true face of the courtyard.

As the grey mist cleared.

An elderly figure hurriedly approached from afar, with lingering fear and trepidation on his face.

”Yuan’er, are you alright?”

Elder Lu asked with concern.
