Chapter 942 Death Valley (2)
Chapter 942 Death Valley (2)
At the center of the area of concentrated death energy, there was a single lily that was growing there.
The fact that there was a lily growing there was already strange enough since this was a barren land that didn't have a trace of green in the first place.
But this lily wasn't a normal lily either.
It was a lily that seemed like it was deathly ill.
The stem of the lily was black, the petals of the lily were gray, and the flower itself seemed to be hanging down as if it had no energy at all. It was almost as if this lily was a flower of death with its appearance.
It was just that there was no mistaking it, even though the lily seemed like it was dead, it was actually still alive.
This was a lily of death that grew from absorbing the concentrated death energy around it.
It was a lily that was stained in the power of death.
However, life and death were two sides of the same coin, which was why this thing had a powerful effect on the physique that Huang Xie had. A physique came from the concentration of life energy that a person had, so the death energy contained within the lily would be able to incite the life energy of the physique to make it stronger.
That was why Hei Gui wanted Huang Xie to take this lily.
Only it wasn't as if the things that were here were going to let him take it that easily.
Even though the land seemed clear because of how barren it was, Huang Xie knew that it wasn't as clear as one might think. He was able to use his spiritual sense to find that there were things that were hiding under the ground.
These things were hiding all around the lily, as if they were guarding it.
It was as if they were just waiting for something or someone to approach this lily.
But even though he could sense them, it didn't seem like Huang Xie had any fear as he headed towards the lily growing in the center of this area. It was as if he didn't care that there were all these things around him, he was only focused on his goal.
There was nothing that happened as Huang Xie approached the lily at first, but then there was something that broke out of the ground.
The moment that this creature broke out of the ground, it immediately sent out a dark energy attack at Huang Xie.
It didn't even bother to land first after bursting from the ground, it just immediately shot this blast of dark death energy from its mouth. It was as if this creature had gathered this energy ahead of time and only burst out when it came up to shoot it.
Huang Xie didn't panic when he saw this.
Rather, he didn't even seem like he noticed it.
Well, it wasn't that he didn't notice it, it was that he didn't seem to care about it as he continued forward towards the lily.
As for why he didn't care about it.
"Boom!"
That was because he could tell that these moles were only in the Foundation Realm.
Even if their attacks contained the powerful death energy, that didn't matter since they were only in the Foundation Realm. They weren't able to break through Huang Xie's defenses at all as long as they were only in the Foundation Realm.
Huang Xie was someone whose defenses could even keep him safe from those in the Peak Qi Condensing Realm, so there was nothing to worry about.
After a while, the moles finally seemed desperate.
Instead of jumping up one by one, they suddenly jumped up together.
These moles that had been firing the shots one by one suddenly worked together to fire a single concentrated shot. They used the energy that they had gathered to form one single large shot of dark energy that they fired together at Huang Xie.
It was only then that Huang Xie suddenly stopped moving.
In one swift movement, Huang Xie turned around and punched out at the giant mass of dark energy that was flying at him.
The faint green light that was around his fist grew a bit stronger as he punched at this large mass of dark energy.
Once his fist made contact, it was as if the large mass of dark energy was a balloon that had suddenly met with a pin. There was no resistance at all as it suddenly shattered apart.
It popped like a balloon and disappeared without a trace.
When it was all over, Huang Xie stood there with an imposing manner.
The moles that had dropped to the ground stared on in shock, to the point where they didn't go back into the ground. Instead, they just sat there on the ground looking at Huang Xie with shocked looks.
They just couldn't believe that someone could destroy their attack with one single punch like this.
Zhao Ling Jun's eyes were sparkling when she saw this.
It looked like she really wanted to run over there and hug Huang Xie, if it wasn't for the fact that she was trapped in a bubble of Clear Water.
As for Lin Fan, there was a faint smile on his lips.
"It would have been better if you didn't do anything. You would have looked much cooler if you just didn't do anything at all." That was what he thought with his experience from Earth.
After all, casual was always better than acting tough when it came to making an impression.
Doing something without any effort would always inspire more shock than actually doing something.
Still, Huang Xie had achieved his goal in shocking and scaring the moles so they stopped attacking.
That gave him the gap that he needed to head over to the lily and pick it from the ground.
The moment that he pulled it out, the death energy that was gathered around him suddenly condensed inside the lily which would have put pressure on him.
Only Huang Xie had a casual look on his face as if he wasn't bothered by this at all.
