Chapter 344: Fighting the Great Demon
In just a few breaths, the toad monsters were frightened away by the thunder.

Only a group of somewhat intelligent and loyal toad monsters were left who did not dare to leave at will.

The toad demon was struck by the powerful thunder.

Fortunately, the big demon reacted quickly, wrapping itself in a strong demonic aura to protect itself, reducing some of the power of the heavenly thunder.

In addition, as a fourth-level demon, it is not so easy to be killed by lightning.

The big demon was struck by the thunder and felt only anger.

After the thunder flashed, the toad demon was still standing there, with arcs of electricity still flowing on his body.

Everyone's expressions changed when they saw this. He was indeed a great demon in the fourth realm, yet he could remain unharmed under such a thunder from the sky.

"Is this what you rely on?"

The great demon looked at Lu Zheng with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Young man, don't think that the strong men of the fourth realm are so fragile..."

"Oh?"

Lu Zheng was not at all surprised by this.

He spoke calmly, his voice as resounding as a bell.

"Mencius said, 'A person without compassion is not a human being; a person without a sense of good and evil is not a human being; a person without a sense of shame is not a human being; a person without a sense of right and wrong is not a human being...'"

"Are you a human being?"

When these words were spoken, the others didn't react at all. They just thought that Lu Zheng was going to reason with a big demon again.

Fang Jin was stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became strange. The other party was a monster that ate people without leaving any bones. Could you persuade the monster to be good by saying these words?

However, the Toad Demon's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Because he felt an invisible force enveloping him, the remaining thunder power in his body also changed, which was actually weakening his Taoism and made him have an urge to reveal his original form.

Lu Zheng's voice remained unchanged. "The Master said, 'If a man is young and does not show respect to his younger brothers, grows up and does not teach his people, and grows old and does not die, he is a thief!'"

Pimples began to appear on the face of the Toad Demon, and his skin began to change slowly.

"shut up!"

The big demon spoke angrily, and a strong demonic aura vibrated around him, blocking the power of Lu Zheng's Confucian and Taoist words.

Lu Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "You are neither a human nor a monster, you are a beast!"

The toad demon was furious and roared, shaking the earth.

"Cuck!"

A roar containing a terrifying air wave blasted towards Lu Zheng.

Even the surface of the water was affected by the sound, causing endless ripples.

The other toad monsters nearby couldn't help but close their ears, but they were also disturbed by the sound.

Even though the big iron ship was protected by a formation, everyone felt their blood boiling when they heard the earth-shaking roar.

Some ordinary people couldn't even hold on and fainted on the spot.

Fang Jin reacted quickly, protecting himself and several of Jing Wei's guards as they returned to the boat.

This kind of battle is no longer something they can participate in.

As for Qing Wan, she also retreated to a safe place and watched the situation curiously.

Not holding Lu Zheng back at this time would be a help to him.

Fang Jin couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng, who was the first to be hit, but found that Lu Zheng was motionless, as if he was not affected at all.

Lu Zheng was indeed not affected at all. The strange phenomena of heaven and earth released power in his body, and with the literary weapon in front of him, he could directly eliminate this power that could destroy his mind.

However, there was still a faint sound echoing in Lu Zheng's ears.

Lu Zheng held Zhang Liangzhu, looked at the big monster calmly, and said slowly: "Just because you are loud doesn't mean you have a reason."

The big demon's eyes were grim. He raised his hand and slapped the water surface, and a strong demonic aura spread out.

The evil spirit pulled the water flow, turning into poisonous water arrows that shot towards Lu Zheng at lightning speed.

Lu Zheng strode forward, swung Zhang Liang's hammer at the countless water arrows that covered the sky, and instantly formed a barrier around him.

While smashing the water arrow into splashes, the evil spirit in it was also eliminated.

The big demon originally wanted to control these water arrows to transform into spells, but found that he had lost control.

This... There was a strange flash in the big monster's eyes. Lu Zheng's method was obviously stronger than he imagined, as he could quickly eliminate its demonic energy.

Who on earth is this boy, and how could he possess so many abilities? The demon's heart was filled with turmoil, unable to calm down for a moment.

However, before he could think about it, Lu Zheng had already come with Zhang Liang's hammer in his hand. There was a flash of lightning on the heavy hammer.

The big demon waved his long sleeves, and a wrinkled bag appeared.

The bag suddenly grew larger, covering Lu Zheng in it.

After another pull, the big demon held the shrunken gray leather bag in his hand, his eyes sparkling.

This is a spatial treasure he refined using his own skin. It contains a strong and deadly poison. If a cultivator at the fourth level enters it, he will be refined to the point of being reduced to ashes.

He still didn't believe that Lu Zheng could escape from inside.

The big demon held the bag in one hand and quickly formed a seal with one hand, urging the bag to refine Lu Zheng who was inside.

When Fang Jin saw Lu Zheng being taken away by a strange bag, his face suddenly changed. "It's over. It's not easy for a spatial treasure like this to escape. How could he be so careless..."

However, when he thought about the power of this toad monster, Fang Jin felt that it was not that Lu Zheng was careless, but that the monster was too powerful.

Fang Jin turned to look at Qing Wan beside him and found that Qing Wan was still looking excitedly at the show.

"Uh..." Fang Jin couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried about him?"

"What are you worried about?" A strange look appeared on Qingwan's face.

She didn't think such a bag could deal with Lu Zheng.

Fang Jin opened his mouth and said blankly, "What realm is he in?"

That was a powerful demon in the late Fourth Realm. Even in this situation, Fang Jin couldn't understand why Qing Wan wasn't worried at all. Qing Wan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he's learned a lot of skills. Don't worry, this kind of demon won't be able to do anything to him! Young man, sometimes realm doesn't represent strength! This kind of demon is the most susceptible to his control..."

Seeing Qing Wan say this, Fang Jin had doubts but could only watch.

In the demon bag space, Lu was looking at this place curiously.

It was taken into the bag just now on purpose.

With his reaction speed and the treasures he possessed, it was not difficult for him to resist the power of the demon bag.

He just wanted to come in and destroy the bag from the inside.

After all, the previous Teng Snake Space couldn't hold him down, let alone a bag like this.

Feeling the surge of poisonous fog around him, Lu Zheng knew that the big monster was trying to refine him.

He didn't mind letting the other party consume more of his demonic power so that he could catch him off guard.

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed as he carefully explored the space and found that it was just a space similar to a storage bag. There was nothing special about it. Apart from the pervasive poisonous fog, there was nothing else.

Suddenly, Lu Zheng felt a sense of being watched.

He couldn't help but wave his hands and a burst of righteous energy burst out.

Outside, the big monster was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Zheng still had the energy to fight back.

The big demon's eyes turned cold and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The essence and blood merged into the demon bag, immediately causing poisonous fog to continuously suppress and corrode Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng saw the bag glowing with blood, and he spread out one hand. A white sun floated in his palm, and he continuously poured righteous energy into it.

There seemed to be a radiant sun in Lu Zheng's eyes, and he murmured softly, reciting the poem "The Rising Sun" by the poet Li Bai.

"The sun rises in the east, as if coming from deep underground.

Li Tian entered the West Sea again. Where did the six dragons stay?

Its beginning and end are eternal. Man is not the original energy, so how can he linger with it for long?

The grass does not thank the spring breeze for its growth, and the trees do not complain about their falling in autumn.

Who whips the four cycles of evolution? All things rise and fall naturally.

Xihe! Xihe! Why are you drowning in the waves of debauchery?
What virtue does Luyang have that he would stay in Jing and wield his sword?
There are many things that go against the way of heaven and falsely accuse others of wrongdoing.

I will encompass the vast universe, and make Haoran and Mingkui the same family!"

In an instant, the light of daylight in his palm enveloped Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng radiated a dazzling light, and the strongest and brightest sunlight instantly filled the entire space.

The poisonous fog that was originally pouring in, retreated the next second as if it was something that could not stand the light.

The Toad Demon was still observing the situation in the bag when he suddenly saw a white flash in front of his eyes and even the bag in his hand became extremely hot.

For some unknown reason, the big demon felt a sense of danger.

He waved his hand quickly, threw the bag far away, and flew backwards.

The next moment, the bag exploded and a round of light emerged, like the rising sun, bringing endless warmth and glory.

All the people and monsters present saw the sun, and vaguely saw a blurry human figure in it.

Some people were stunned, some were grinning from ear to ear.

"This……"

Fang Jin's eyes widened, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what method Lu Zheng had used.

In broad daylight, Lu Zheng had a thought, and countless hot light particles bombarded the toad demon.

Even the others could clearly see a beam of white light engulfing the monster.

Pure white flames ignited, enveloping the big monster.

The big demon was shocked and quickly mobilized his demonic power to extinguish the flames.

Damn it! The big demon was shocked and angry. The methods Lu Zheng used were full of extremely masculine and strong energy, which restrained it completely.

While the big demon was still trying to extinguish the fireworks, Lu Zheng came over with Zhang Liang's club.

The big demon felt something in his heart, but the suppressing force enveloped him, making him powerless and unable to dodge at all.

Lu Zheng smashed the big monster down with a hammer, and it was hit hard and turned into a ball of fire that sank into the water. Water mist continued to rise due to the high temperature.

When those present saw Lu Zheng smash the big monster into the water in one go, they all had the illusion that they were dreaming.

They didn't realize how powerful Lu Zheng's aura was. How could he deal with a fourth-level late-stage demon?
Of course, the reason why these people cannot feel Lu Zheng’s power is because Lu Zheng is good at controlling his own strength, and can truly perceive the big monsters he fights.

The toad monster was knocked into the water by a blow, and some flames were still burning on its body.

He was actually also at the fourth realm... It was not until this time that the big demon realized that Lu Zheng had the cultivation base of the fourth realm, but he had not yet figured out what kind of Taoism Lu Zheng practiced.

The next second, Lu Zheng rushed into the water.

After entering the water, Lu Zheng not only encountered no obstacles, but moved freely like a fish in water.

As soon as Lu Zheng had an idea, the invisible water phenomenon flowed silently towards the big monster.

The big demon had just used up his power to put out the Zhiyang flames, but he found that there was something wrong with the surrounding water flow.

An invisible water pressure enveloped his entire body, making him feel breathless.

Of course, when one reaches his level of cultivation, he can go without breathing for a long time.

But this feeling of suffocation came from the all-round suppressive force, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

The demon's expression changed, and he tried to control the water flow around him, but found no response.

As a monster that has lived in water for many years, he believes that he has mastered water to a high level.

Now I have a feeling that I am going to drown in the water, which is ridiculous.

Seeing the change in the monster's expression, Lu Zheng thought that this water was his vision and not an ordinary lake water.
