Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 203 The culprit

However, seeing that Zuo Wenshan had already touched the 'Blood Demon Grass' and pulled half of it out, she didn't want to think about it any further.

But the accident came so quickly, a powerful breath emanated from the magic water.

It revealed a tail and gently rolled it up, pulling Zuo Wenshan into the magic water.

After a while, a corpse floated out of the magic water, and judging from the clothes, it was Zuo Wenshan.

Everyone was so frightened that they stepped back repeatedly. They had no time to react and rescue Zuo Wenshan.

Lin Xing was also stunned by this sudden change, and finally remembered what they had forgotten, which was the guardian monster of this spiritual herb. As for Zuo Wenshan, it was not that she watched him die without saving him, but that she did not have time to save him.

The aura of the monster just now should have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago.

Although the Demonic Water has now returned to calm, no one dares to take another step forward.

Although the 'Blood Demon Grass' is hard to come by and extremely valuable, one still has to be alive to get it.

How can this group of Jindan cultivators defeat a Yuanying stage monster?

They all immediately wanted to leave and go somewhere else, but it was obvious that they were a little naive.

At this time, the evil spirit water began to surge, and it was obvious that the monster was about to come out. Everyone was scared and fled in all directions.

"This monster has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. There is a chance of survival if we deal with it together. Otherwise, it will only die faster." Seeing this, Lin Xin shouted hurriedly.

Except for Lu Qing and He Zhengyuan, the other two turned a deaf ear to him and just wanted to leave.

Sure enough, before the monster appeared, Yang Anping was so focused on escaping that he completely forgot about the sudden appearance of the monster. He was pierced through the chest and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown. Seeing this, Wu Qiu hurriedly retreated.

When they gathered together, the monster also came out of the magic water. It was a black dragon, but the devilish aura it exuded made it more appropriate to call it a 'magic dragon'.

Except for Lin Xing, the other three people's eyes were full of fear. The Jiao was much stronger than other monsters, not to mention that its realm was higher than theirs. They immediately wanted to retreat.

The 'devil dragon' swept every person with its cold and ruthless eyes, frightening those monks who wanted to escape so much that they dared not move.

Seeing this, Lin Xing took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

The 'Wind and Frost Sword' in his hand had somehow turned into the 'Thunder Sword'.

She urged the 'Thunder Sword' in her hand, and a stream of sword energy mixed with thunder and lightning rushed straight towards the 'Demon Dragon'.

The 'devil dragon' was not to be outdone. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a terrifying demonic energy, which collided with the sword energy and produced a loud noise. Lin Xing was not surprised by this.

The loud noise woke Lu Qing and the others up. They suppressed their fear and prepared to fight this "demon dragon".

Lin Xing knew that their attacks could not harm the Demonic Dragon, so he said, "The sword in my hand can restrain the Demonic Dragon, you just need to hold it back for a while."

"Sister Su..."

Just as Lu Qing was about to say something, he was pulled away by Lin Xing, and the "devil dragon" came behind him at some point, and swung its tail directly towards the place where Lu Qing had just stood.

"Brother Lu, if you have anything to say, let's talk outside. Now is not the time to be distracted."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he saw the 'demon dragon' heading towards Fellow Daoist Wu's position, and he immediately summoned the 'Thunder Sword' in his hand and pierced directly through the body of the 'demon dragon'.

But it did not hit the vital part, which only caused the "devil dragon" to be slightly injured, but instead aroused the anger of the "devil dragon".

Lin Xing's performance also gave Lu Qing and others hope. With her attack, they beat the "Demon Dragon" back step by step.

But they didn't notice that the ghosts that attacked them from time to time had not appeared for a long time, and the corpse that grew the "blood devil grass" in the magic water had also disappeared.

Just when Lin Xing was about to deal a fatal blow to the 'Demon Dragon', a demonic energy rushed towards Lu Qing.

The evil energy was extremely fast. Although Lin Xing noticed it, it was too late for him to rescue him. He Zhengyuan, who was closest to him, stood in front of Lu Qing and used a magic weapon to try to disperse the evil energy.

However, this evil energy was stronger than he had imagined. Not only did it destroy the magic weapon he had used, but he himself was pierced through the chest by this evil energy.

He Zhengyuan was hit hard. He lowered his head and looked at the hole in his chest with disbelief in his eyes. He turned his head stiffly to look at Lu Qing, opened his mouth to say something, and then fell straight down.

"Do not…"

Witnessing his best friend die in front of his own eyes, Lu Qing's eyes were filled with pain, and he rushed towards the location of He Zhengyuan's body like a madman.

At this time, Lin Xing also killed the "demon dragon", and she hurriedly grabbed Lu Qing to prevent him from passing.

Wu Qiu was so shocked by this sudden change that his mind almost collapsed. He ran away in panic, ignoring Lin Xing's shouts from behind.

But he didn't run far before he was stabbed in the chest by Yang Anping, who had been lying on the ground for a long time.

Now, the only cultivators left to explore this cave are Lin Xing and Lu Qing.

Seeing Yang Anping's behavior, Lin Xing subconsciously thought that all this was his conspiracy to lead them here.

But she noticed that Yang Anping was emitting demonic energy, but there was no light in his eyes, as if he was controlled by someone.

Lin Xing was a little confused.

A rustling sound caught her attention.

She watched with her own eyes as the dead monks stood up one by one, with a tendency to surround her and Lu Qing. However, she did not notice that a subtle demonic energy quietly penetrated into Lu Qing's body, and his eyes instantly became much deeper and darker.

He took out a magic weapon that looked like an awl from his body and stabbed it at Lin Xing who was beside him.

"Why can't I penetrate even a centimeter?" Lu Qing's pupils shrank slightly, looking a little unbelievable.

Originally, Lin Xing's mind was on the group of monks who died and were resurrected. At this moment, he finally reacted and immediately kept a distance from Lu Qing. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously being controlled by someone.

She quickly released a lightning chain to bind Lu Qing, and the controlled Lu Qing seemed to be trying to regain control of his own body.

As for those monks who died and were controlled by others, they were directly repelled by Lin Xing's lightning spell and temporarily escaped from control. In order to prevent these people from being controlled again, she burned their bodies the moment they escaped from control.

At this time, Lu Qing also regained control of his body, but she still did not untie the lightning chain on Lu Qing.

Take him with you and find a way to leave here.

When she left, she came to the edge of the magic water and wanted to pick the 'Blood Demon Grass', but found that the 'Blood Demon Grass' and the corpse had disappeared.

"Could it be that the corpse is the real culprit?"

"The 'Blood Demon Grass' was created to lure them?"
