Chapter 545: Chapter 221: Corrosive Poison Touch Demon, Annihilated with One Punch

Crack!

The weather at Mingxia Lake changed in an instant.

Moments ago, the sun was shining brightly, but with a sudden roar of thunder, the entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds. Lightning flashed as torrential rain poured down.

Under the raging storm, the lake’s surface was churned into colossal waves. Tornadoes tens of meters high sprang up between heaven and earth, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

The three-colored crane glowed with a glass-like Demon Qi, tearing through the dense clouds, unaffected by the storm.

All of a sudden!

Screech!

The three-colored crane let out an urgent cry, flapping its wings furiously as its speed abruptly slowed. Violent vibrations almost flung Jin Yuxi off, but Luo Cheng managed to grab her in time.

“What’s going on?”

Jin Yuxi’s voice quivered with lingering fear.

Luo Cheng frowned, casting his gaze toward the tornadoes ahead.

At that moment.

Slash!

A slim black shadow shot out from the nearest waterspout, like lightning aimed directly at the three-colored crane.

With a popping sound, the crane’s shimmering Demon Qi was pierced by the black shadow!

“Hmph!”

Qi Yue snorted coldly, sweeping her palm forward.

A dazzling surge of palm force exploded outward, freezing the slender shadow and the surrounding storm in an eerie, motionless space.

The shadow was revealed to be a vividly colored tentacle!

At the tentacle’s tip was a mouth lined with spiraling rows of sharp teeth—a terrifying sight!

Bang!

The frozen space shattered violently as the tentacle burst into pieces, spraying black blood everywhere.

Qi Yue frowned slightly and warned, “It’s a Corrosive Poison Touch Demon! Be careful!”

Corrosive Poison Touch Demon!

Luo Cheng froze for a moment. This was a Demon Beast unique to Mingxia Lake, usually feeding on toxic miasma but occasionally preying on living creatures. Its tentacles were not only venomous but also capable of instantly draining the flesh from its victims, leaving behind dried corpses—a truly horrifying beast.

The grade of Corrosive Poison Touch Demons was marked by their coloration; the more colors, the higher their grade. The tentacle just now had four colors, marking it as a Four-star Demon Beast!

Screech!

Before he could think further, a sharp scream echoed ahead, and waterspouts surged forward.

Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes, spotting massive, jellyfish-shaped shadows covered in writhing tentacles within the waterspouts!

They floated within the tornadoes, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, extending their long, frenzied tentacles. Any nearby Demon Beast was instantly pierced by the tentacles and reduced to skin and bones!

Swish, swish, swish…

No sooner had one waterspout approached, than dozens of tentacles shot toward the group.

“Die!”

Standing firm atop the three-colored crane, Qi Yue’s palm radiated with dazzling brilliance as a push of her hand sent light force soaring outward.

Boom!

The darkened sky was illuminated by a radiant glow, as countless tentacles burst apart, dyeing the lake below black with blood!

Luo Cheng was secretly astonished. Qi Yue truly lived up to her reputation as one of Luoxia Sect’s top ten seed disciples—her strength was nothing short of extraordinary, comparable to the Eighth Prince, Jin Min.

Roar!

As waves of tentacles were obliterated, piercing screams rose incessantly. Tornadoes gathered, filled with tentacles of all colors, blanketing the sky!

“So many Corrosive Poison Touch Demons! And plenty among them are Four-star ones!”

A Luoxia Sect disciple with lower cultivation turned pale.

She had just witnessed a Demon Fish, massive as a small mountain, being instantly devoured and reduced to skin and bones by the demons!

Qi Yue could no longer maintain her earlier composure. There was no time to retreat, so she decisively commanded:

“There are too many! Follow me and break through! Bright Cloud Palm!”

Boom!

A vast palm force, resembling a colorful cloud, ripped through the swarming tentacles, creating a massive opening. The three-colored crane accelerated and darted forward.

However, it had barely broken through when an even denser wave of tentacles swept over, their razor-sharp teeth grinding out chilling scraping sounds.

“Full strength! Do not let them breach our defenses!” Qi Yue shouted urgently.

Thud, thud, thud…

Immediately, several Luoxia Sect female disciples joined the fray.

One after another, powerful bursts of Qi Force demolished swathes of tentacles, scattering black blood and chunks of flesh in all directions!

Yet, no sooner had they destroyed one wave than another surged in from all directions, threatening to cut off their escape route.

With Qi Yue, a top-tier Awakening Vein Realm expert, guarding the front, the three-colored crane faced little danger as the incoming tentacles were instantly annihilated.

But at the rear of the crane, where only three Inner Sect disciples from Luoxia Sect stood—the strongest among them merely in the Early Stage of the Eighth Layer—they also had to safeguard the injured Jin Yuxi. They were visibly struggling, their faces etched with tension.

Slash!

Suddenly, three tentacles broke through their defenses, hurtling toward one of the Luoxia Sect disciples.

“Ah!”

The disciple paled with fear, her face dread-stricken, her voice trembling.

“Junior Sister Xu!”

Other disciples tried to assist but were too occupied to intervene.

At the critical moment.

Bam!

A massive fist silhouette emerged from an unexpected angle, shattering the three tentacles. Even their blood and flesh were obliterated by the sheer force of the attack.

“Focus on defending the left side; leave the right side to me,” Luo Cheng said firmly.

“Leave it to you?”

The strongest Luoxia Sect disciple was caught off guard, her disbelief evident.

No time to deliberate—another wave of tentacles attacked with even greater ferocity and density. She had no choice but to join the other disciples in fending off the left side!

Still, she resolved to aid Luo Cheng as soon as the left-side tentacles were taken care of.

Standing on the wide back of the three-colored crane, Luo Cheng took a deep breath, activating the Xuanlong Technique, and unleashed a powerful punch.

“Five Mountains Condensing Cauldron!”

Essence Energy surged wildly, manifesting five mountainous shadows behind Luo Cheng before transforming into an enormous three-legged, dual-eared cauldron!

Boom!

The cauldron expanded with the force of Luo Cheng’s punch, crashing forward like a small mountain. Squishing sounds rang out as tentacles nearby exploded layer after layer!

The right side of the crane cleared completely, with over a hundred tentacles annihilated in an instant.

As his fist landed, Luo Cheng flexed his fingers, his face lighting up with delight. “Xuanlong Technique’s Second Layer doubles combat strength—it’s truly astonishing! And I haven’t even used full power yet!”

“This…”

The female disciple intending to assist Luo Cheng froze mid-step, her eyes wide with shock as she witnessed the scene. “He’s only at the Sixth Layer Peak of Awakening Vein Realm, with a Wasted Martial Soul—and yet his combat power is absurd…”

Among the Corrosive Poison Touch Demons were Four-star Demon Beasts! Some even Four-star Advanced ones, equivalent to Late Stage Awakening Vein Realm strength!

An attack powerful enough to eliminate hundreds of tentacles in one strike was beyond her capabilities.

“Unbelievable!!”

“That punch’s strength must be at least Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm! Right, Senior Sister Qi Yue?”

Other disciples, excluding Jin Yuxi, were equally stunned and questioned Qi Yue.

Qi Yue glanced deeply at Luo Cheng, finally acknowledging that the strong aura she had sensed earlier wasn’t just an illusion.

“Enough. Let’s hurry and break through.”

Calmly, Qi Yue turned her focus away from the moment, her expression indifferent.

Even if Luo Cheng’s power truly reached Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm, it couldn’t compare to hers—it was worlds apart, far from enough to draw her attention.
