632 Hidden Mysteries
Now, the Zhu familyâs ancestor told him that there was an existence that could rival a King of Limits in the distant ancient Dragon Country.
All of this was too unbelievable. Lu Benwei unconsciously opened his mouth.
âWhen I killed that ancient corpse, I used the power of the soul origin, causing a wisp of the soul to leak out,â the Zhu familyâs ancestor said, âAt that time, my body had already shown an ominous feeling, and I was almost crazy. As time passed, this wisp of the soul also turned into a wisp of evil spirit.â
Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva and said, âSenior, that corpseâ¦â
âDonât worry, Iâve already killed him. Thereâs no chance of him recovering,â the Zhu familyâs ancestor said.
Lu Benwei thought to himself that if he could fight against the resurrection of a king, then it would be even more troublesome. The Zhu familyâs ancestor had already killed him, so Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief.
âSenior, when you were young, you fought bravely against the enemy and were full of righteousness. How could you be unlucky in your later years?â Lu Benwei asked.
The Zhu familyâs ancestor did not answer. He stared at Lu Benwei with a hint of helplessness.
Lu Benwei understood that it was still the heavenly punishment mentioned by the Zhu familyâs ancestor, so he did not continue to ask.
âThis secret realm is best known to few people. That Black Gold Crescent Blade is a peerless treasure blade, but unfortunately, it has to be used to suppress me.â The Zhu familyâs ancestorâs tone was filled with helplessness.
âLittle friend, send me on my last journey.â
âThen Iâll have to offend you.â
The Zhu familyâs ancestorâs spirit was extremely fragile and would be destroyed by itself soon.
However, this secret realm was strange, and he and Lu Benwei were afraid of accidents.
Then, Lu Benwei waved his hands and activated his spiritual stigma to hover above his head.
âBuzz!â
The spiritual stigma vibrated and created ripples in the space, spreading rapidly!
The remnant soul of the Zhu familyâs ancestor grunted. Then, it began dissipating in the air like ashes.
âSenior, goodbye!â
âI, Lu Benwei, will not fail my mission and chase away the monsters!â
Lu Benwei cupped his fists and bowed, bidding farewell to the Zhu familyâs ancestor.
The remnant of the Zhu familyâs ancestorâs soul was gradually dissipating. When he heard Lu Benweiâs words, he was suddenly stunned. Then, a bright light flashed between his eyebrows.
âLittle Friend Lu, thank you for helping out today. Otherwise, Iâm afraid that my reputation as a hero will be destroyed in my own hands. Please accept this small gift.â
âHumphâ¦â
Lu Benwei grunted and felt a splitting headache as if it was going to explode.
âThis is?â
Tiny snake scales grew out of his forehead and temples, and his black round pupils constricted into a bundle.
âBuzz!â
A golden light beam shot out from the snakeâs eyes, causing ripples in the space.
âFlying Snakeâs Divine Might! Mental attack!â
Lu Benwei exclaimed about the gift from the Zhu familyâs ancestor.
Then, he bowed three more times toward the void.
âAncient Dragon Kingdomâs kingâs corpse⦠Heavenâs punishment, and the unknown fate of the eight ultimate kings in their later years. What is the reason for this?â
Lu Benwei said and exhaled, âThereâs still a long way to go before I become a hunter.â
He pulled his thoughts back to reality.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little more normal.
The originally green candle flame had turned fiery red. At this moment, it was like a flame spirit jumping on the candlestick.
Then, Lu Benwei heard a commotion coming from the corridor outside the door, and his expression changed slightly.
âSecond Brother Zhang, no matter what, this woman and the supporter you invited have to give us an explanation!â
This was the voice of the Ma family head, filled with an overbearing tone.
âBrother Ma, Little Friend Lu is an honored guest of our Zhang family. How can we let him be humiliated?â
The second head of the Zhang family unexpectedly became a little more unyielding and sided with Lu Benwei and Chu Yan.
âIf you want everyone, I can accompany you!â
Chu Yanâs voice was cold, and she did not put the Ma family in her eyes at all.
The Ma family head was furious, and the veins on his body bulged. âHmph, if you have the guts, wait for my son to come back. Iâll teach you a lesson!â
âIf youâre not convinced, why donât you calculate it now?â Lu Benwei came to the corridor and said coldly.
âAnnoying fellow!â
Chu Yan was delighted, her clear eyes shining brightly.
An expert of the Ma family was not convinced and stepped forward. âLet me fight you, little brat.â
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a huge shadow enveloped Lu Benwei and Chu Yan, projecting them into reality. Its might was terrifying as if the sky had collapsed, wanting to kill them.
âKilling intent?â
Everyone from the Zhang family was shocked. âLittle Friend Lu, be careful. This is a powerful assassin from the Ma family. He can use the power of the shadow. Heâs at level 73!â
Lu Benweiâs eyes turned cold, and fine snake scales grew on his forehead and temples, emitting a cold aura.
âFlying Snakeâs Divine Might!â
A golden gaze shot out, directly targeting the Ma familyâs assassin.
âPuff!â
The Ma familyâs assassinâs head exploded on the spot, and the mixture of brain matter and blood splashed everywhere.
Shocking!
Terrifying!
Horror!
A level-73 expert could not even withstand a single move from Lu Benwei and died tragically before his eyes.
âStaring, staring to death?â
The Ma familyâs people were flabbergasted and terrified.
Lu Benwei coldly swept his gaze over them, scaring the Ma family members into a panic. They did not even have the courage to look at each other.
âDo you still want to go forward and die?â Lu Benwei said coldly.
The Ma family members were all silent, afraid of being âglaredâ to death by Lu Benwei.
The Zhang family members all looked at Lu Benwei with strange expressions as if they were looking at a god.
âGhostly, you killed a seventieth-leveled expert of the Ma family with a single sentence?â Zhang Kangle and Zhang Kangyaâs mouths were wide open, and they were secretly glad that Lu Benwei did not argue with them.
The Wu brothers looked at each other in realization. Then, they knelt on the ground with a thud.
âBrother Lu, please take us to save our brother! We have offended you before. Please be magnanimous and forgive us!â
The two of them spoke at the same time, and their attitudes were quite sincere.
Lu Benwei glanced at them. âIâm only here to protect the Zhu family and snatch their opportunities. Youâre not from the Zhang family, so I have no obligation to help you. Also, I warned you not to act rashly. Your little brother got lost in this palace and asked for it.â
Lu Benwei was not a saint and had no obligation to save Wu Lu.
âIf you want to save him, you can do it yourself.â
The Wu brothersâ expressions froze. Then, the eldest of the Wu brothers said, âBrother Lu, it was our fault earlier. This palace is strange and full of danger. We brothers are useless. I hope Brother Lu can help us.â
