"Hungry... Maybe eat... Hmm... Dere is good."
Lucifer's sinister thoughts were interrupted by the girl atop his head.
"...You're still fucking hungry-!?"
"Shhh... No naughty words..." Li Yan put a small finger up to her big brother's mouth, trying to help him lay off using the mouth of a sailor.
"..."
Lucifer blankly stared at the emotionless goth girl looking at him from above his head.
While wondering how he wound up in this situation, he sent out 250 thousand clones, all of whom were tasked with Alchemy, selling materials, building the repertoire of the 'Loot Reapers', and the efficient killing of all Spiritual Beasts in the nearby forests.
With all of this out of the way, Lucifer watched as the system notifications bombarded him from all directions.
BLING!

Under his breath, Lucifer muttered, "Even though the Clone Essence acquisition is not much, over time, it will surely accumulate and allow me to buy the Early Nascent Soul Realm Clones. Of which, even the weakest one costs 100 CE2."
He was still a little vexed over the price being so ridiculously high, but that didn't mean he wouldn't still buy one. After all, with Clones in the Nascent Soul Realm, a lot more things could be better accomplished-
Whistle—
"???"
Golden Cardinal Ming outstretched his hand, and in less than an instant, the earlier spear shot back to its master!
"!!!" Lucifer just narrowly dodged the spear this time around.
As a few strands of his hair fluttered down to the ground, he took another good look at the daunting angel-like existence standing before him.
With his aura immensely powerful, energy tendrils blasting off the top of his backdrop, a stone face, and the imposing armor he wore, Cardinal Ming was the picture-perfect image of an ArchAngel.
But in spite of that information, Lucifer's face remained neutral, and his aura maintained its steady composition. "I see that you are quite the strong one. But does it honestly matter?" He asked.
"...What do you mean by that? Have you already given up on any hope of you coming out of this in one piece?"
Lucifer lightly shook his head. "I think you misinterpreted the meaning behind my words—" his voice faded out of existence as his body followed not long after.
"!?" "!?" "!?"
Li Gao, Zhao Huang, Li Chen, and the rest of the high-officials immediately went on guard. Preparing all the spells they could, their eyes darted around the eerily empty streets, attempting to locate their target.
With their status as foreign merchants, they bought out the surrounding blocks, paying off anyone who could get in the way of their mission. Thus, they had all the room they needed to kill-
SHING!
"!!!"
"I did say that it mattered not how strong your leader was, did I not...?"
Lucifer's devilish expression materialized from the speed stream. With an evil smirk on his face, he used his hands in order to rip out the throat of a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Expert!
Considering that his comprehensions in |Sword Slash| had achieved the Peak-Mortal Rank, he now had no issues utilizing the technique in ways other than with just a sword.
He could use his teeth, his toes, his hands, and even his d*ck!
All of it could be turned into a Sword Slash!
[Ding! You have killed a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Light Nation Executive. The reward is 0.8 CE2!]
