Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 649

“Kill…”

As Ou Yangming shouted, he and Big Yellow joined hands and successfully killed even the fourth lizard insect.

When the young fellow looked at the black middle-rank lizard that collapsed to the ground, he slowly shook his head and remembered its end well.

This was the Spiritual Realm, which was a place full of danger. He must not be careless here, or this would be how he would end.

“Buzz, buzz…”

The poisonous pill's spirit floated and spun around Ou Yangming to show off its victory.

Ou Yangming smiled and gently brushed his hand past the centipede's body. It drifted and moved according to his palm, where they had great chemistry as though they were one.

Big Yellow was rather envious as it watched on the side. Although it had an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p with Ou Yangming, it could not naturally become one with him.

As Ou Yangming flicked his finger slightly, the centipede that was transformed from the poisonous pill's spirit landed nimbly on the unconscious middle-rank lizard.

Ou Yangming knew that in normal situations, the insect had lost its ability to resist. Nevertheless, n.o.body knew if these insect Spiritualists had unique skills, thus he had to be on guard.

His eyes flickered as he raised his hands and waved them. After a brief moment, the strange and mysterious power that filled the s.p.a.ce slowly disappeared.

He then curled his lips into a mocking smile and looked coldly at Lu Zhenxie, who was somewhere in front of him.

The human Spiritualist was checking out his surroundings in fear. When he suddenly spotted the 4 spirit lizards, he was even more appalled.

All 4 of the lizards were already on the ground, and 3 of them were even ripped into 2. Even so, they still released incredibly fierce auras. As for the fully-black lizard, whose status was unknown, it was even more frightening. Despite being on the ground and had possibly suffered a grim end, it still gave off oppression that made one hard to breathe.

Ou Yangming grinned and asked, “Lu Zhenxie, were these your reliances?”

Lu Zhenxie turned to look dumbfounded. His lips trembled, and he was completely pale.

He could not believe everything that he saw, but the truth was right in front of him, hence he had to admit it.

“H-how did you do it?”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “You're not in the place to ask that question. Now, tell me—how did you collude with them?”

“Ah, I-I didn't collude with them!” Lu Zhenxie shuddered and shouted right away.

The young fellow smiled faintly. “I might believe you if there was only 1 lizard insect, but so many of them were serving you. What else can you say?”

Lu Zhenxie was struck dumb, and he also looked slightly absent-minded.

Indeed, he could have said that it was a fortuitous encounter if there were only 1 or 2 lizards.

There were many precedents where beasts actively attached themselves to humans due to certain wonderful encounters. At times, spirit beasts would even follow ordinary humans to repay their kindness, and such a situation not rare at all.

However, regardless of the accidental encounter, it seemed like the bunch of lizards could not have served Lu Zhenxie.

Seeing how Lu Zhenxie's face turned green and red, Ou Yangming added slowly, “This middle-rank lizard hasn't died—it only lost its ability to resist for now. Heh, once it awakens, I'll hand you over to it and see what it'll do to you.”

“No—” Lu Zhenxie screamed without any hesitation, and his voice shook.

He was the one that called the lizards here but apart from the middle-rank lizard, the rest had died ghastly deaths.

Even if Lu Zhenxie wondered with his thoughts, he knew how he would end if he was put together with the middle-rank lizard after it regains its consciousness and combat power.

It would certainly be an end that would make one s.h.i.+ver all over.

“Ah, Young Master Ou, ask away if you have any questions. I won't beg you for mercy, but I hope you'll make it fast for me.” Lu Zhenxie smiled bitterly.

Ou Yangming was moved. Lu Zhenxie deserved to die, but he was a straightforward person.

He asked in a deep voice, “Okay, let me ask you—why did the lizards work with you?”

Lu Zhenxie answered with a bitter smile, “Frankly speaking, I have no idea either.”

“Is this your answer?” Ou Yangming had a cold look on his face.

“I wasn't lying to you; it's the truth.” Lu Zhenxie waved his hand and explained after a pause, “I came from the Three Rings Sect, which isn't an influential sect but is also somewhat known in this area. Several months ago, I came to know these lizards through a fellow from my sect.”

Ou Yangming vaguely noticed something, but he continued to ask calmly, “If that's the case, instead of you, the whole Three Rings Sect is colluding with the Insects.”

Lu Zhenxie sighed and responded, “I dare not discuss the sect, but it's true that I knew these insects through the sect.”

“Oh, did you only know them? They didn't ask you to do anything for them?” Ou Yangming sneered.

The middle-aged man pondered for a brief moment and answered hesitantly, “These lizards only asked me to pay attention to the people here. They seem to be looking for…” He stopped all of a sudden.

Ou Yangming's eyes lit up. He released a bit of pressure and questioned, “What were they finding for?”

His mental power was already at the standard of a middle-rank Spiritualist, whereas Lu Zhenxie was only a low-rank Spiritualist, so there was quite a huge disparity between them. Besides, the man was ill-at-ease as he had just been mystified by the environment. After being oppressed by the young fellow again, he immediately lost his ability to resist.

“It's only a guess, so I don't know if it's accurate.” Lu Zhenxie forced a smile and continued, “According to my observations, they might be looking for someone from the lower realm?”

Ou Yangming's eyelids flickered. He asked slowly, “Someone from the lower realm? Did they need to muster such a large force for that?”

After coming to the Spiritual Realm, he had some understanding of the Humans and the powerhouses from the different races here. The powerhouses here had a certain respect for people that came from the lower realm because those that could enter the Spiritual Realm from the lower realm were carefully-selected powerhouses. Whether it was their characters, natural gifts in cultivation, or potentials, they were far more potent than most powerhouses in the Spiritual Realm.

Having said that, powerhouses from the Spiritual Realm had their ego. As potential as powerhouses from the lower realm were, they would not pay too much importance to them.

Therefore, it seemed impossible for so many spirit beasts to act together for someone from the lower realm.

“Young Master Ou, it's just my guess.” Lu Zhenxie smiled bitterly. He thought for a while and added, “Under normal circ.u.mstances, they wouldn't make a big fuss over a person from the lower realm, but what if that person has some sort of treasure? The Spiritual Realm might be mighty and has many treasures, but the lower realm will sometimes produce things that we don't have.”

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, 'Cultivators from the Spiritual Realm are not simple at all.

His eyes then turned cold as he uttered, “Okay, since you have nothing else to say, your time here is up.”

Lu Zhenxie quivered. He knew he was unlikely going to escape unscathed but when it was time for his death, he could not help but feel afraid.

“Young-Young Master Ou, can I exchange all of my fortunes for a chance to live?” He asked as he clung to a final hope.

Ou Yangming asked him in return, “When you brought them here to ambush me, did you think about giving me a chance?”

Lu Zhenxie turned awfully pale. Indeed, a Spiritualist that brought 4 spirit beasts to ambush and a spirit beast and a young human was definitely planning to give them a fatal blow.

Even if he begged piteously and told Ou Yangming that they did not intend to kill him, he himself would not buy it.

Subsequently, Ou Yangming slowly lifted his hand and waved at Lu Zhenxie from afar. As a result, a surging power gushed toward the man and wrapped around him.

Lu Zhenxie shrieked strangely. He could not withstand the terrifying pressure anymore, so he finally flashed and fled.

Nonetheless, a yellow figure flashed and blocked his path. Big Yellow flashed its claws and teeth, then it pounced on him ruthlessly.

With that, they exchanged blows and collided intensely as they went head-to-head with each other.

One was crus.h.i.+ng its opponent with its equipment while the other knew that this was his only chance to get away. Even if Big Yellow displayed an overpowering strength, Lu Zhenxie could not be bothered anymore.

Lu Zhenxie suffered several injuries from Big Yellow at once, and blood flew out from his body. However, he finally managed to fight his way out courageously and slipped away from the big yellow dog's claws.

Just as he wanted to run away from the fearsome zone as soon as possible, an intense yet indescribable feeling of weakness rose from the bottom of his heart.

The Weakening Spell.

Lu Zhenxie looked like he was in despair. He finally realized that when the young fellow waved his hand earlier, he was not signaling the spirit beast to attack but was releasing a remarkable magic art.

At this point, Lu Zhenxie's powers seemed to have been sucked out, by which it became strenuous for him to even move his limbs.

Soon enough, his chest hurt intensely as the dog's claws penetrated his body.

Lu Zhenxie's lips trembled a little. He collapsed to the ground powerlessly and lost all sense of life.

Big Yellow later withdrew its claws embarra.s.sedly and glanced guiltily at Ou Yangming.

Its equipment could easily crush someone, but it still let Lu Zhenxie slip away. If it was willing to risk being injured, it would not have given the man a chance.

Ou Yangming shook his head and noted, “It was a desperate fight from him, so don't be concerned.”

Big Yellow was relieved. It opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue while it wagged its tail at the young fellow.

Ou Yangming later turned around and looked at the middle-rank lizard. He instructed the big yellow dog after some thought, “Wake it up.”
