Chapter 345: Heaven's Might Destroys the Demon
Lu Zheng waved his hand again, and the strange mountain image in the small world flew out, suppressing the toad monster.

The big demon suddenly felt the pressure doubled and had to resist with all his strength.

Looking at the heavy mountain pressing down on him, the big monster couldn't calm down.

Before, he thought that Lu Zheng was just a third-level cultivator with some skills, but it turned out that his strength was not weaker than his at all.

If he knew that Lu Zheng had such strength, he wouldn't have to take action.

The big demon's mind turned, and magical weapons appeared one after another, protecting his body.

However, compared to the visions that contained majestic and righteous energy, these magical instruments were as fragile as paper. Cracks appeared in the blink of an eye, and their spirituality was damaged, making them useless.

The demon's face darkened as he spoke, "That's enough people. Do we have to end up with both sides suffering?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng said calmly, "Both sides will suffer losses? If you go to Daze City to apologize, I can stop."

The big demon was furious. After all, he was a big demon. How could he possibly confess his guilt?
The big demon's expression turned sinister, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The rich essence and blood release demonic energy to resist the pressure from the strange vision.

Immediately afterwards, the monster's body suddenly swelled up.

In just the blink of an eye, he expanded from an old man into a toad as big as a hill.

"Cuck!"

The big monster opened its bloody mouth and roared angrily, causing the mountains and rivers to shake.

In the swamp, there was a violent current stirring the water, making it muddy.

Lu Zheng only felt that the scene in front of him became blurred, but his spiritual sense was still sharp.

He felt something and raised his hand to wave Zhang Liangchui.

At the same time, a thick tongue struck Lu Zheng with the force of thunder.

The tip of the tongue collided with Zhang Liang's spine, and a muffled sound was heard instantly.

The big demon originally wanted to wrap his long tongue around Lu Zheng, but this attack made his tongue numb and slightly painful, so he subconsciously retracted his long tongue quickly.

After Lu Zheng's attack, in a flash of thought, other strange visions and cultural relics in the small world flew out together.

The big demon's pupils shrank, but he saw that the sun and the moon were hanging above Lu Zheng's head, and the cultural relics around him were shining brightly. He was surrounded by purple thunder, and the momentum he exuded was as vast as the ocean.

A great terror surged from the depths of his heart, and the big demon felt the crisis of life and death for the first time in so many years.

Lu Zheng moved and was already close to the big monster, with a majestic and righteous aura covering the entire area.

Both the vision and the artifacts released powerful forces, suppressing the toad demon together.

The big monster was frightened and had to fight desperately.

A brilliant light shone deep underwater, and the aftermath of the attack quickly spread in all directions.

"Boom..."

On the water surface, a huge column of water shot up into the sky.

The large iron ship parked not far away was also shaking slightly due to the huge impact of the water flow.

Everyone on the boat and the nearby toad monster all looked deep underwater, but unfortunately they could not see anything clearly.

Even the aftermath of the attack made them feel uneasy, and they didn't dare to get closer to check.

Under the water, the powerful attack even caused the lake water to disperse, and a piece of open space appeared briefly.

Lu Zheng stood there, looking at the empty space in front of him, with some blood and flesh floating around.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he put away the vision and writings, blessed himself with poetry, and chased in one direction as fast as a meteor.

Just now, Lu Zheng clearly felt a demonic force escaping.

In the distance, above the lake, a bloody figure emerged. It was the Toad Monster.

He fought so hard that he exhausted his essence before his true body escaped, leaving behind a bag of flesh and blood to pretend to be dead.

Suddenly, the big monster turned his head and looked back, and saw a figure chasing after him at a fast speed.

The big monster was shocked and couldn't help but speed up.

Ahead, an island looms.

There are also densely packed toads on the island.

Seeing this, the big demon used his telekinesis to forcefully order these toads to come and stop Lu Zheng.

Toads jumped over one after another, and a big toad hidden under the water suddenly rushed out, blocking Lu Zheng's direction.

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, his voice containing a hint of thunder and pressure.

The surrounding toads suddenly became uncontrollable, becoming timid and not daring to come closer.

Seeing this, the big monster couldn't help but curse these toad monsters in his heart, saying that they were insignificant and could not be of any help.

At this time, a light drizzle fell.

Lu Zheng raised his head slightly, and when he saw the sudden change in the weather in this area, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He waved his hand and condensed thunder with his righteous energy.

"The four seas are roiling with raging clouds and waters, and the five continents are shaking with thunder and lightning!

We must wipe out all harmful insects and be invincible!"

Lu Zhengsheng was like thunder, and a righteous spirit burst out from his body.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the more terrifying power between heaven and earth was attracted by Lu Zheng.

The originally drizzling rain turned into bean-sized raindrops, which contained a trace of righteousness. When they hit the big monster and some toads, green smoke rose instantly.

The lake suddenly surged with waves, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder fell from the sky. The entire water area looked like a doomsday scene.

Countless bolts of lightning struck down, accurately finding the great demon and other toad demons with evil auras. The rumbling sound was endless.

Lu Zheng held a long sword in his hand, with purple thunder floating above the sword.

The long sword was swung, and the mighty sword intent wrapped in thunder slashed towards the big monster that was submerged in the thunder.

There was another burst of lightning and thunder, and under the power of heaven, all evil spirits disappeared.

Even a powerful demon that has reached the fourth realm cannot withstand the power from heaven and earth.

The toad demon itself had taken an evil path, and its demonic energy was impure, so it was directly chopped to pieces, leaving no trace of its body, and its soul was destroyed.

Most of the toad monsters around suffered their retribution and floated on the water with their stomachs turned upside down, dead.

Lu Zheng looked at the island, flew onto it, and came to a cave on the island.

I saw some monsters and people hiding in the cave.

With just a glance, Lu Zheng was able to identify the monsters, kill some of them, and rescue the others who were captured as slaves, as well as the humans.

Among the rescued survivors, Lu Zheng also discovered mermaids and clam monsters living in the swamp.

Lu Zheng looked at these people and monsters, gave a brief explanation, and asked them to make a choice.

Upon learning that the Toad Demon was dead, the enslaved victims felt as if they were in a dream and were unable to calm down for a while.

Lu Zheng continued, "I'm on my way to the Immortal Gate by boat. I can't take you back to Daze City or other places for resettlement. Besides, you all come from all over the place... You can choose to board the boat with me for a while, or leave now. There are valuables in this cave, and you can take some as compensation..."

After hearing Lu Zheng's words, some monsters expressed their gratitude and said they wanted to leave immediately.

After all, they are monsters, and they originally live in Yunmeng Lake and don’t want to have too much contact with other people.

These monsters took some valuables, but not much more, because even if they took more, they couldn't take it away.

All in all, everything here should be Lu Zheng’s spoils of war.

But Lu Zheng told them not to be polite and to take some property as compensation so that they could have a better life in the future.

Afterwards, those who wanted to leave left in groups of three or four or alone.

The rest of the people were willing to follow Lu Zheng to the boat and then find a place to stay.

So, Lu Zheng took his group and found a small boat, preparing to rush back to the location of the big ship.

……

"There's been no movement for a long time. Could they all be dead?"

Someone on the iron ship couldn't help but murmur when he saw that the water had become calm again.

Above the water, several toad monsters were also looking in the direction where the noise came from, but no one dared to get close to check.

Without knowing the situation of their ancestors, these monsters cannot act on their own.

When Qing Wan saw the water returning to calm, she felt something in her heart.

She knew that Lu Zheng was chasing someone, and her eyes rolled around.

Qing Wan looked at Fang Jin beside her and whispered, "Can you handle those transformed toads?"

Fang Jin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and lowered his voice and said, "I am also a disciple of the Immortal Sect after all. Even if I can't beat the big one, I can still deal with the small one."

Qing Wan's eyes flickered as she said excitedly, "Then let's go together? I'm worried that I can't handle it alone and they'll get away."

"Hmm?" Fang Jin asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu and that great demon?"

Qing Wan said, "They're not here. I can sense it! We mustn't miss this opportunity!"

Qing Wan didn't wait for Fang Jin to hesitate, and sneaked off the iron ship first.

Seeing this, Fang Jin was not willing to be outdone and quietly went to deal with the monsters that stayed here.

Soon, fighting broke out again on the water.

When everyone saw this, they realized it was just a minor fight, so they didn't take it seriously and just stood there watching.

They also realized that the two men were probably no longer fighting in these waters.

After a while, Qing Wan and Fang Jin killed all the remaining monsters.

Qing Wan stepped on a toad corpse, shaking her head and saying, "Tsk, it's so weak!"

On the boat, a crew member saw this and whispered to the captain, "Why don't we leave first? We can't stay here for long!"

It would be fine if the big demon was dead, but if he is not dead and comes back to see so many corpses of his own kind, I wonder what he will do to them.

The captain was moved by what he heard and immediately called on the crew to set off.

Qing Wan and Fang Jin boarded the ship again and frowned when they saw the iron ship moving.

Qing Wan approached the captain with a sword in hand and demanded, "No one's back yet, why are you sailing? Aren't you waiting for us?"

The captain saw Qing Wan, who was not even as tall as her sword, but he did not dare to look down on her at all.

He quickly explained, "The bloody smell here is too strong. It's bound to attract other powerful monsters... Your family member is very powerful. Let's stay away from here for now. He can find us."

Qingwan frowned, but couldn't find a better reason to stop it.

She had no choice but to say, "Okay, then we can't walk too far. Yunmengze is so big, it's easy to get lost."

The captain smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we'll drive slowly and wait while we go."

That being said, once the ship has really set sail, even if he wants to stop, the other passengers may not be happy.

Qing Wan added, "You'd better watch the road carefully. If we encounter any powerful monsters before he comes back, I won't be able to defeat them."

Hearing Qing Wan's words, which seemed to sentence the Toad Demon to death, the captain's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could that person in your family be a master of the fifth realm?"
