Chapter 530 - Killing the Doppelganger!

Chapter 530 Killing the Doppelganger!

Boom!

The Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger broke the magic formation and got out of it.

When he found that Chu Xun had disappeared, he could not help but look coldly at the place where Chu Xun disappeared. He said angrily, “Chu the Devil, this is the Subterranean Devils Realm. Let’s see if you can escape...”

Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly changed, and he sensed an imminent danger behind him. He felt a chill running down his spine.

The Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger suddenly turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw Chu Xun standing not far behind him. Chu Xun’s eyes were shining with terrifying purple light as he raised his hand. A streak of silvery light burst out from Chu Xun’s hand and darted as fast as a bolt of lightning toward the doppelganger.

A foul aura surged around the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger. He raised his hand and thrust his palm toward the streak of silvery light coming at him. Suddenly, his face changed abruptly. The streak of silver light smashed his magic power.

After that, the streak of silvery light struck his palm.

Crack... Bang...

With an ear-piercing sound of bones breaking, his palm and arm exploded and turned into blood mist. The purple light didn’t slow down, and it hit his chest directly.

The Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger roared. His chest caved in, white bones pierced through his flesh and skin, and blood spurted out. The streak of silvery light sent him flying.

Pfft!

Chu Xun spat out a mouthful of blood as his streak of silvery light sent the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger flying, but he smiled with difficulty.

“Why did I try to escape?” He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He staggered, but he managed to walk over to the Stellar Core and put it away.

This Stellar Core could achieve unexpected results if it was used to launch a surprise attack at the enemy.

Back then, he defeated the Queen of Elves with this Stellar Core.

“As I said, if I can kill one of your doppelgangers, I can kill two of them.” Chu Xun’s eyes looked fierce.

The Fifth Fiend Lord looked cruel and vicious. Blood gushed out of his mouth like a spring. He was wounded more severely than Chu Xun, and his internal organs had been pierced through.

“Chu the Devil, do you have any extra strength to kill me?” The Fifth Fiend Lord looked at Chu Xun fiercely.

Chu Xun staggered toward the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger, but when he was a hundred meters away from the latter, he fell to the ground. He struggled a few times, but failed to get back on his feet. His injury was not much lighter than that of the latter, and he had used up all of his Hong Meng Immortal Qi.

“Ha-ha... Chu the Devil, my men will be here soon. I will win this battle in the end.” The Fifth Fiend Lord laughed wildly.

“Not necessarily,” Chu Xun said coldly. The little white figure inside his body moved and opened its eyes. Surging True Energy spread throughout his limbs, bones, and meridians.

Chu Xun’s aura began to grow stronger.

“You...” The Fifth Fiend Lord was shocked. Fear flashed across his face. “Chu Xun’s aura has changed. What kind of technique is that?”

He did not know that there were two kinds of power in Chu Xun’s body, namely, True Energy and Hong Meng Immortal Qi.

Emperor Ao had told Chu Xun to circumvent the Firmamental Laws by not using the True Energy. In addition, because of the Firmament Chain, the attacking power would be greatly reduced if he used the True Energy, so he had never used it.

“I’m in the Subterranean Devils Realm now. Are the Firmamental Laws applicable here?”

“As I said, a mere doppelganger can’t do any harm to me.” Chu Xun’s True Energy surged inside him. He raised his hand and used his Demon-slain Finger.

Boom!

The Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger let out a furious roar as the Demon-slain Finger struck down on him.

After the clouds of smoke and dust dissipated, the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger broke into pieces. His body was covered with cracks, looking like a cracking porcelain doll that would break when touched.

Chu Xun shook his head. The suppressive force of the Firmament Chain was becoming stronger and stronger. If Chu Xun had used the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, the attack that he launched just now would have completely destroyed this doppelganger of the Fifth Fiend Lord. However, the power of that attack was greatly reduced by the Firmament Chain by 70 to 80 percent.

However, if he couldn’t do it at one go, he could launch another attack.

The Demon-slain Finger appeared once again, making a rumbling sound. The mountains shook, and the earth quaked. The Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger blew up, and many pieces of his body flew in all directions.

Chu Xun was still worried. The Fifth Fiend Lord must have some extraordinary means and techniques. If he had such techniques like reorganization, he might come back to life.

Chu Xun attacked the doppelganger several times with all his might until the latter was reduced to blood mist.

A furious roar rang out from an old castle. “Chu the Devil, when I come out, I will definitely grind your bones and scatter your ashes all over the world.”

Chu Xun seemed to have sensed something. He looked in one direction and disappeared in a flash.

Several days later, in a hidden cave, Chu Xun opened his eyes, and his aura became stronger. He had completely recovered.

He carefully removed the magic formation, withdrew his aura, and released his divine sense to inspect the surroundings. After making sure that there was no danger, he walked out of the cave.

It was impossible that the Fifth Fiend Lord had only one doppelganger in the Subterranean Devils Realm. If another two showed up, Chu Xun would probably die in this place.

There were two kinds of people who would take a risk. The first kind were those who possessed great skill and courage, had a world within their heart, and were fully confident in their ability to take a risk. The other kind were those who acted impulsively and risked their own lives.

Of course, Chu Xun would never put his life in danger. Only a fool would do that. Chu Xun was sure that the men of the Fifth Fiend Lord were looking for him everywhere.

Given his current cultivation level, he was not strong enough to fight the Fifth Fiend Lord head-on yet. It was better for him to avoid the brunt of the Fifth Fiend Lord.

Chu Xun sneaked back to the house that old Harry found for him. Before he went back, he inquired about it and learned that the news about his killing the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger had not been spread to that area.

That area was relatively remote, so it would take some time for the news to arrive there.

After a day’s rest, Chu Xun visited old Harry the next day and asked him about the herbs needed to make the Life Extension Elixir.

Old Harry looked at Chu Xun expectantly. “Chu the Devil, my brother, how is it going with the training of the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast?”

“It’s almost done. You’ll have a level 5 battle pet in a few days,” Chu Xun said.

Old Harry smiled happily.

“How about the herbs?” Chu Xun asked.

Old Harry told him that he got no news about any other herbs except for the Fiery Green Lotus.

Old Harry handed an exquisitely made invitation card to Chu Xun.

“Jacob Auction House?” Chu Xun frowned.

Old Harry said, “The Jacob Auction House is in Frank City, which is one thousand miles away from here. It is the property of the Frank Family. The Frank Family is guarded by Demonic Immortals. You must act modestly when you get there.”

Chu Xun nodded. No matter who was guarding it, even if it were the Fifth Fiend Lord’s doppelganger, he had to get the Fiery Green Lotus.

“I’ll ask someone to pay you the reward for the last mission.” Old Harry was sensible. He was probably doing this for the sake of the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast. Otherwise, how could this old fox be so kind?

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “You can pay the reward after I have tamed the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast and handed it over to you.”

Old Harry bowed to Chu Xun pretentiously and said seriously, “Chu the Devil, I really appreciate your noble demonic character.”

Chu Xun was amused. “Demonic character? I’m a human being. Moreover, the Fire Spinel in your treasure house is mine. I let you keep it for me because I want you to rest reassured and do me favors.”

Old Harry also told Chu Xun that the woman in a black robe who led the way for him had come back and taken the reward for leading the way.

Chu Xun nodded. She deserved what she had taken.

After chatting with old Harry for a while, Chu Xun got up and left.

He had nothing urgent to take care of, so he walked leisurely toward the western suburbs. Unexpectedly, he came across an acquaintance on the street. It was the woman in black robe whom old Harry talked about just now.

The woman in black robe didn’t notice Chu Xun. She was driving a carriage. Chu Xun didn’t know what a carriage was called in the Subterranean Devils Realm, because the carriage was pulled by a beast of burden that was a low-level demonic beast. It was shaped like a horse and didn’t have a strong fighting ability. Its only merit was that it had good stamina and could travel a thousand miles in a day. The Subterranean Devils Clan tamed this type of beasts and used them to pull the carriage.

Chu Xun scanned the carriage with his divine sense and found that it was loaded with food and sap. He was amused. “What good foodies! They are like the reincarnations of hungry ghosts. No wonder they are so poor. They can’t eat like this no matter how much Fire Spinel they earn.”

The woman in black robe kept a low profile. She lowered her head as she drove the carriage, purposely avoiding the Subterranean Devil Warriors on patrol.

Chu Xun was curious. “Given the cultivation level of the woman in black robe, there can’t be many people who dare to make trouble for her.”

He felt bored, so he followed the carriage curiously all the way. However, he found that the woman in black robe was heading to the west. “Since the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast came to the western suburbs, almost all the people have fled. What is she going to do there?”

The further west they went, the rarer the traces of people were.

In the end, the woman in black robe stopped the carriage outside a courtyard. It was a corner of the western suburbs. Even if the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast were not here, very few people would be willing to live here.

The woman in black robe looked around vigilantly, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times.

Chu Xun shook his head and wondered what he was doing. He was following a woman that he had met only once like a stalker. At the thought of this, he couldn’t help feeling ashamed. When he was about to leave, the door of the courtyard opened, and a small face with a nervous look on it appeared.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. It was a little human girl who was about seven or eight years old. When she saw the woman in black robe, her little face lit up and she smiled sweetly.

“Sister Anny!” The little girl shouted happily.

“Hush!” The woman in black robe motioned the little girl to be quiet. The little girl immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Just then, several human youngsters walked out.

“Hurry up and carry the stuff inside,” the woman in black robe said in a low voice.

The youngsters quietly lifted up the things on the carriage and walked towards the courtyard.

Chu Xun found that those youngsters were indeed human beings, and the demonic power of the woman in black robe proved that she was a member of the Subterranean Devils Clan. However, Chu Xun could not understand their relationship. In the Subterranean Devils Realm, humans were raised as pigs, but the attitude of the woman in black robe towards those humans was completely different from that of other members of the Subterranean Devils Clan.

Ho!

Suddenly, a roar rang out, making the ground shake and many buildings collapse. A head as big as a hill appeared above the courtyard, staring at the woman in black robe with its red eyes.

It was the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast. It had sensed the aura of human beings. Chu Xun had told it that no one was allowed to exist in the western suburbs of the city. The woman in black robe and the human beings came here, which was obviously a challenge for it.

Those human youngsters were so terrified that they almost collapsed to the ground, and the little girl was hiding behind the woman in black robe, trembling with fear.

The woman in black robe shouted loudly, “Hurry up and hide yourself!”

Chu Xun wanted to order the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast to back off at first, but he didn’t say anything.

Because the woman in black robe showed her true appearance for the first time. She took off the black robe. She had a thin figure, her pale face was very delicate and pretty, and her ears were sharp-tipped. She looked like an elf, but the two horns on her forehead surprised Chu Xun. “Is she a little dragon girl?”

“Hurry up and hide.” The woman in black robe took out her bow and nocked an arrow. A foul aura was swirling around her. There was a determined look in her eyes.

Ho!

The Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast lowered its head and roared. The sound waves swept through the air toward the woman in black robe and the others.
