Chapter 380: The Madman

"The Wolf God, this sculpture..."

Beside Lu Heng, Xiao Ai softly said, "It seems somewhat peculiar."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Indeed, it does appear somewhat peculiar, but it is not a living being, so there is no need to be concerned."

After saying that, Lu Heng directly stepped into the invisible barrier.

A tremendous pressure immediately surged from all directions. However, a level of eerie deathly aura coalesced around Lu Heng, effectively shielding him from the incoming invisible pressure.

Lu Heng, with slightly sluggish movements, gradually approached the sculpture. Beneath the pedestal of the sculpture, he found the object that had been grasped by the crimson-haired and green-faced demon.

It turned out to be a piece of tattered silk cloth.

On the dark cyan silk cloth, there emanated a chilling and piercing sword intent.

Even without personally touching it, Lu Heng could feel the ominous and malevolent sword intent as if it were a thorn piercing his back.

Inside this sculpture's pedestal, is such a peculiar hidden object?

With a slight frown, Lu Heng refrained from reaching out to touch the piece of silk cloth. Instead, he carefully observed it for a moment before gracefully withdrawing and returning to Xiao Ai's side.

This scene left Xiao Ai somewhat perplexed, "Wolf God..."

Lu Heng's expression turned serious as he stated, "I have become aware of the nefarious plot orchestrated by those malevolent beings."

"There must be more than just this one small square like this within the city. And within the pedestal of each statue in every location, lies a fragment of the Sword Formation."

"That group of malevolent beings intends to seize all the Sword Formations within the city, and use the assembled formations to acquire the ancient war swords hanging on the four city gates! They aim to break the seals and unleash the primordial menace lurking within!"

With Xiao Ai in tow, Lu Heng proceeded directly towards the distance, "We must thwart them! If we allow these malevolent creatures within the city to break free from their confinement, it will undoubtedly lead to a calamitous event!"

The malevolent figure seated upon the throne of yellow earth is the most formidable fiend Lu Heng has ever encountered in his entire life.

In comparison, the likes of the Green Hell Cave and the Lord of All Demons are merely child's play.

Such a dreadful thing must never be released to the outside!

Furthermore, that thing bears some resemblance to Lu Heng, and if it were to be unleashed, Lu Heng would be the first to face its wrath!

Not to mention the well-being of the world, but even for the sake of Lu Heng himself, it is imperative to thwart those malevolent beings.

The figures of Lu Heng and Xiao Ai hurriedly dashed through the city.

Within the ancient and dilapidated city walls, the flow of escape was obstructed and the running pace was hindered.

"Why... why should we concern ourselves with whether it will cause harm to the world?"

"Yes, exactly! Isn't obtaining the Ancient Formation Diagram sufficient? What does it have to do with us?"

The two demonic creatures were completely unable to comprehend why the cultivator of the dark path before them would utter such righteous and resolute words... Could this unexpectedly bizarre cultivator be a madman?

The demonic creatures looked at the lifeless Lu Heng with overwhelming terror.

What is even more terrifying than encountering an unfamiliar cultivator of the dark path, is encountering a deranged cultivator of the dark path!

Although the cultivation of the dark path is often associated with madness, the dark path cultivator before us is even more insanely deranged than the usual madmen of the dark path.

If it weren't for the inexplicable inability of the soul to return to the body, the two demonic creatures would have long fled in fear, and would not dare to stay for even a moment longer with the lunatic before them.

After being questioned by the two demonic creatures, Lu Heng fell into a brief moment of contemplative silence, only then realizing that his current image was that of a practitioner of the dark path, and not the revered Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain in the eyes of the people.

He also discerned that this group of demonic creatures didn't care about the existence of the seal within the city; they were solely interested in the four battle swords adorning the city gates.

In that case, Lu Heng decided not to waste words with the two demonic creatures.

Although currently unable to establish a connection with the Netherworld and send these two demonic creatures into oblivion, Lu Heng can still vanquish them here with the suppressive power of the Requiem Seal over their souls.

At most, it will only consume some time.

In the void, the profound and yellow-hued Requiem Seal resounded once again.

With a thought in his mind, Lu Heng unleashed a cold and desolate jet-black radiance from the Requiem Seal, directly sweeping towards the demonic spirit ahead.

The two demonic beings were greatly alarmed and hastily unleashed their demonic power, attempting to resist.

However, at the moment when the chilling ray of death swept through, it shattered the demons' resistance, sending the two primordial malevolent spirits flying and crashing heavily against the nearby wall.

Upon the demonic spiritual bodies, some slight cracks appeared.

The anguish of their souls being wounded caused the two demons to let out piercing and agonized cries.

"Madman!"

The two furious demons let out wailing cries, but as the cries echoed, the Requiem Seal buzzed once again, and the chilling ray of death swept through once more.

The two souls originally attached to the wall were once again sent flying and crashed heavily against the opposite side of the street's wall.

Immediately, another round of piercing and mournful cries resounded.

The cracks on the bodies of the two demonic spirits have multiplied.

The mighty souls of the two innate demonic beings were completely helpless under the power of the Requiem Seal!
