The dim and eerie residential area.
The fleshly Ganoderma slightly wriggled on the damp ground, having been struck by electricity several times, turning its grayish-white flesh nearly transparent.
In the center of the fleshy ball, the red heart was pulsating uneasily.
The Master of Lingyun Temple fixed his eyes on Lu Fei, a chill arising in his cold and icy eyes, and his expression filled with intense envy and hatred.
"With so many good things, you must be one of those cultivators with a powerful background, right?"
"No wonder, to be so young and yet possess such remarkable magical power."
"The people I hate the most are people like you!"
"Back then, because I had no power and no background, none of them were willing to teach me their true skills. I could only end up in this dilapidated small temple, wasting my days."
He took a cold breath and once again put on a smile.
"But it's of no consequence now. I understand now that people like you are my nourishment!"
"As long as I make all your treasures mine, my path of cultivation will extend further and further! Defying fate and changing destiny, I will succeed soon."
"Ha ha ha!"
Laughing loudly, he swung his whisk with fierce momentum towards Lu Fei.
The whisk emitted a flicker of dark red light.
Lu Fei knew that this demon was bizarre and did not engage him in a direct confrontation.
While dodging sideways, he switched the jujube wood stick in his hand to a ghost-whipping鞭子, and the long whip collided with the dust whisk.
The master of Lingyun Temple turned his wrist, rolled the dust whisk, and tightly entangled the whip.
A strange red glow spread along the whip towards Lu Fei.
Lu Fei's face remained calm.
Infusing magical power into his left hand, he met it with the thunder-struck jujube wood stick.
Boom!
The lightning and the red glow collided, producing a deafening air blast.
Lu Fei and the master of Lingyun Temple each took a few steps back.
The tip of the dust whisk was slightly blackened, and the master of Lingyun Temple revealed a greedy smile.
"The thunder-struck jujube wood is indeed powerful!"
"Now, this treasure is mine!"
Immediately, he opened his mouth and sprayed a mist of blood onto the ground where the flesh lingzhi was.
The flesh lingzhi wriggled rapidly, growing taller and taller, transforming into an exact replica of him in just a few seconds.
However, the eyes on its face remained hollow.
It looked like a wax figure tailor-made as his substitute.
"Hungry, aren't you? Then perk up and take him down, only then will you have something to eat!"
The Master of Lingyun Temple waved his whisk and charged towards Lu Fei.
The whisk in his hand was as flexible as a swimming snake, the eerie red light flickering like a snake's tongue, constantly darting in and out.
The flesh lingzhi, now in human form, mirrored his every move, and the whisk in its hand was also made of fleshy material.
Lu Fei, facing two against one, was immediately put on the defensive.
Every time he was about to attack the flesh-reishi with the thunder-struck jujube wood, the master of Lingyun Temple would strike fiercely with his whisk, and a red light would suddenly spew out.
If Lu Fei was not careful, he would be hit.
It was extremely troublesome.
Although he did not know what that strange red light was, he understood that once it touched him, there would be no good outcome, and he became flustered for a moment.
"Boss!"
Huzi, recovering from his dizziness, saw Lu Fei being forced back step by step. His anger overtook his fear, and he grabbed the ghost-head saber, got up, and charged toward the flesh-reishi.
He couldn't deal with the wicked Taoist, but he could still handle this fleshy lump, right?
Even if he couldn't kill it, he could at least lighten the burden for the boss.
With all his strength, relying on his martial arts training since childhood, he swung the saber with great force, coordinating with Lu Fei, and managed to separate the flesh-reishi from the wicked Taoist.
"Hmph! Seeking death!"
A cold light flashed in the aged eyes of the Lingyun Temple Master, and with a snort, he flicked his whisk towards Tiger Boy.
A sharp red light was expelled.
But before it could touch Tiger Boy, Lu Fei's lightning-struck wood had already struck out.
Boom!
After a loud explosion, both parties retreated several steps once again.
"You're just relying on that lightning-struck wood! Without these treasures, let's see how long you can last!"
The young face of the Lingyun Temple Master twitched slightly, and a murderous intent burst from his aged eyes. He flicked his whisk again, but this time, instead of expelling red light, it coiled towards Lu Fei's lightning-struck jujube wood staff.
Lu Fei gave a cold laugh, moving the lightning-struck wood to his back and meeting the attack with the ghost-whipping whip.
The whip entangled with the whisk.
Suddenly, the Lingyun Temple Master exerted force, sending a sharp surge of energy through the whisk.
Lu Fei immediately mobilized his magic power to counter that force.
Both sides exerted their strength in a confrontation.
Huzi carefully dealt with the human-shaped flesh spirit, not allowing this evil creature to get close to the boss.
The master of Lingyun Temple frowned.
He did not expect these two to have some skills; they couldn't be subdued for the time being.
"Very good! The stronger the spiritual energy in the flesh, the more powerful the flesh spirit will be!"
He took a deep breath.
Under the smooth, wrinkle-free young skin, something like insects rapidly crawled, and a powerful force gathered in his palm.
Lu Fei's expression darkened, and he frantically circulated his magic power in his dantian, preparing to withstand the attack.
"Puh!"
However, just as the Master of Spirit Cloud Temple was about to exert his power, he suddenly lost control and spewed out a cloud of blood. His whisk slipped as he staggered back a few steps.
His legs twitched slightly.
Lu Fei, surprised, couldn't help but feel amused!
At the Master's ankle, there was a bloody mess with a row of deep, bone-deep teeth marks.
It turned out that the little black dog, without anyone noticing, had escaped from the backpack and sneaked up behind this wicked Daoist. Taking advantage of the confrontation between the Daoist and Lu Fei, it bit him without hesitation.
"Little Black, well done!"
Lu Fei had already gathered his strength in his hand, and taking advantage of the injured Master of Spirit Cloud Temple, he rushed forward and delivered a powerful strike.
The Master of Spirit Cloud Temple hastily channeled his energy, and more worm-like things rapidly crawled under his skin.
Boom!
He stumbled back again, and to his surprise, Lu Fei's magical force had created a gap in his chest, revealing the faintly pulsing internal organs inside.
And the humanoid fleshy Ganoderma beside it seemed to have also suffered a severe injury, with a large hole in its chest.
"When did I become so powerful?"
Lu Fei himself was shocked and looked at his palm in disbelief.
But in the next moment, the flesh on the chest of the Master of Spirit Cloud Temple began to wriggle, covering the internal organs.
Can it repair itself automatically?
"Isn't that just like the fleshy Ganoderma he raised?"
Lu Fei was startled and saw that the chest of the humanoid fleshy Ganoderma was also slowly healing.
"Could he and this evil creature be one and the same?!" He suddenly realized, "No wonder attacking the fleshy Ganoderma is useless. As long as he is still alive, we can't pierce the heart of that fleshy Ganoderma."
So, conversely,
If the fleshy Ganoderma dies, will this demonic Taoist also follow suit and perish?
So.
What we need to do now is still to find the weak point of the flesh spirit fungus.
Lu Fei's brain became active at once.
Since they were already in a confrontation with the demonic Taoist, there was no need to stay in this dark and damp tomb.
This place was used for cultivating the flesh spirit fungus, making the environment advantageous for it, so why not change the battlefield?
Thinking of this, Lu Fei immediately channeled his spiritual power and launched an attack on the Master of Lingyun Temple.
The Master of Lingyun Temple, whose body had not yet fully recovered, was quite wary and carefully dodged.
However, Lu Fei was only feigning this attack. After faking a couple of moves, he turned around and rushed towards the flesh spirit fungus.
Infusing his spiritual power, he struck hard with the thunderbolt jujube wood stick in his left hand.
Boom!
The flesh spirit fungus spasmed violently, its body continuously flowing downward.
"Huzi, run!"
Lu Fei gave Huzi a push.
The two people and the dog dashed towards the exit.
When they reached the stairwell, Lu Fei suddenly stopped, sneered at the Lingyun Taoist Master behind them, and made a thumbs-down gesture.
