“What were you two saying just now?”
Heluo and Ivy did not know how to react to Lu Ming’s question.
Watching Madam Red being tightly restrained, Ivy’s eyes were bewildered, not understanding why Madam Red could bite through her defenses one by one but could not bite Lu Ming at all..
However, Heluo heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “Mr. Lu is indeed strong, and Madam Red’s weakness is indeed her face.”
At this moment, Madam Red made another move.
Her arm extended strangely, just like her neck, and she grabbed the umbrella that was falling from the sky. Then, with a swift motion, she swung her long arm and the umbrella slashed at Lu Ming like a knife.
“Bang.”
The umbrella struck Lu Ming’s Divine Fire Shield, but it could not budge him in the slightest.
Instead, the umbrella was somewhat disheveled due to the rebounding burning force, and the red umbrella twitched slightly, emitting eerie screams from within.
Seeing this, Heluo’s eyes lit up and she said, “The umbrella! The umbrella might also be her weakness.”
“Oh, 1 see,”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
“So, this damn thing has two weaknesses, one is this face, and the other is the umbrella.”
“Then…”
In the next second, there was a creaking sound which went from weak to strong!
Lu Ming exerted strength in his hands and pulled Madam Red’s face like a puller, doing a complete chest-expanding exercise.
“Creak creak
“Ugh! Ahhhhhhhhh….”
Muffled, incomprehensible cries emanated from Madam Red’s wide-open mouth.
Her wide mouth continued to split open with Lu Ming’s movements, but there were no organs like a tongue or throat inside, just an abyss of darkness.
“That’s why I said that you all are just monsters…”
Muttering these words, Lu Ming suddenly exerted more force!
With a “crack”, Madam Red’s entire head was torn apart by Lu Ming on the spot!
Heluo and Ivy, who were watching the battle from the side, felt a chill run down their spines.
Lu Ming’s actions were as effortless and relaxed as peeling off crispy chicken, which was hard to imagine considering how battered Ivy had been by Madam red just moments ago.
Not far away, the red umbrella immediately flew up, trying to escape.
But Lu Ming grabbed it and broke it without hesitation.
So, under the gazes of the three of them, Madam Red and her red umbrella slowly turned into black streams of energy and rapidly dissipated into the air. “What on earth is this thing?”
Ivy couldn’t help but ask, and both Lu Ming and Heluo shook their heads.
“I’m not sure.”
“But just like the clown earlier, it turned into black smoke when it died and didn’t leave a body behind,”
Lu Ming added, then turned his gaze towards the sky.
Above his head, the one-eyed black dragon was still fighting with Roda and the other two.
“You two find a safe place first, and I’ll be right back.”
With those words, Lu Ming had already floated into the air and was flying upwards..
An hour later, everyone gathered in the City Lord Manor.
The chaos within the city had long since subsided.
Lu Ming sat at the head of the table, closing his eyes and listening quietly.
Below, it was mainly Heluo who was speaking.
“I’ve never seen those monsters that appeared, and there are no records of them in the ancient books of the Aeonians.”
“According to their combat performance, Madam Red and the Black Dragon both possess the strength of a high-level Spirit Realm expert. But, the strange thing is that they don’t have spiritual pressure, and don’t seem to use Source Power techniques.”
“For this situation, I may need some time to research and understand what these creatures really are.”
With that said, Heluo paused for a moment and continued, “Now there’s something more pressing that may require Mr. Lu’s assistance.”
She said to Lu Ming with an apologetic expression.
Seeing this, Lu Ming nodded gently, “Please tell me. I won’t refuse any task that’s within my capabilities.”
“Our captain and the other two team members went to the Flame Clan Ruin to trace the source of the Dream Virus several days ago. But just dozens of minutes ago, the three of them lost contact.”
“May 1 request Mr. Lu to go there and check the situation?”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and simply nodded, “Certainly.”
That place was indeed the source of the trouble.
Even if Heluo had not brought this up, Lu Ming would have had to take a look.
Ivy immediately added, “I’ll accompany Mr. Lu so that 1 can lead the way for Mr. Lu.”
The Flame Clan Ruin, within the Royal First Research Institute.
Walking through the clean corridors of the research institute, Zhuang Zun’s expression was cold. The protective spiritual light shimmering around his body indicated that Zhuang Zun was on full alert.
There was no one around him.
The two teammates who had entered together had disappeared at some point.
This was very strange.
This was because with Zhuang Zun’s Spirit Realm Level Seven strength, he had not noticed when or how his two teammates had gone missing.
“This place is quite sinister.”
He muttered to himself, and his sense of caution intensified.
It wasn’t until Zhuang Zun heard faint singing in the distance that his expression changed.
He took a couple of quick steps forward, and as he turned a corner in the corridor to the right, a bizarre scene unfolded before his eyes.
The path had transformed into an eerie trail.
At the end of the trail, a huge and ominous ancient castle, like a sleeping giant beast, had inexplicably appeared in front of Zhaun Zun!
When he looked back suddenly, he saw that behind him, the corridor had turned into a sinister forest, and the previously clear path had vanished without a trace.
Zhuang Zun took a deep breath.
“I’ve walked into a trap…”
Turning his gaze back to the ancient castle in front of him, faint singing wafted from it, accompanied by occasional green ghostly flames flashing past the window.
For some reason, a term inexplicably popped into Zhuang Zun’s mind.
“The Slaughter Castle…”
It was a terrifying legend passed down among the Eternal Clan.
It was also Zhuang Zun’s childhood nightmare.
“Hahaha.”
Zhuang Zun laughed to ease the fear in his heart.
Then, he shook his head.
“How is that possible…”
After muttering to himself, Zhuang Zun mustered his courage and walked towards the ancient castle.
It was almost evening.
After several hours of traveling, Lu Ming and Ivy finally arrived at their destination.
Entering the cave, they could see some food packaging on the ground, indicating that Zhaun Zun and the others had indeed been guarding here for several days.
But now, they had disappeared without a trace.
“According to Soro, this cave entrance leads to another space. So 1 speculate that when our team leader and the other two saw the connecting light door open again, they couldn’t wait and rushed in.”
That light door did not last long.
When Zhuang Zun and the other two saw the light door open, they immediately entered and did not leave any messages for Heluo and Ivy. Such a thing was very likely to happen.
“Therefore, the problem now is when will the connecting light door open… or what method should we use to open the connecting light door again?”
After Ivy muttered this, she saw that Lu Ming’s eyes had already turned pitch-black.
Maintaining the effect of the Eye of Void, Lu Ming quickly nodded and said, “I have a solution..”
