I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Outside the city of Xiping County, in the countryside and pastures.

Lu Xuan followed the figure and arrived at a house on the ranch.

The cowshed is not far away.

There was not much sound coming from inside the house.

After Lu Xuan approached, he released his spiritual power.

Immediately, Lu Xuan also sensed and detected some spiritual energy within the house.

"what?"

When Lu Xuan released his spiritual power to investigate, he suddenly discovered that there was a strange power beneath the ground of the house, and this power was rapidly increasing.

The next moment, a loud bang came from beneath Lu Xuan's feet.

"Boom!"

The soil beneath Lu Xuan's feet exploded.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan reacted quickly and stepped back three zhang away.

The next moment, they saw that the figure that had just fled was now riding on the back of a strange creature.

This strange creature looks like some kind of cobbled-together beast.

They stitched together the powerful parts of various mythical beasts' bodies.

For example, tiger claws, wolf teeth, elephant feet, etc...

They pieced together a strange beast that exuded a ferocious aura.

The strange beast was a full ten feet tall.

His entire body reeked of the stench of a rotting corpse.

If it weren't for the smell of cow dung from the cowshed masking the stench, anyone within a ten-mile radius would likely be able to clearly smell it.

Although Lu Xuan wasn't exactly well-informed, he had heard of some strange things.

The stitched-together beast before us is clearly the work of the Blood Mist Cult.

The entire Blood Mother Cult was also secretly engaging in these messy activities.

The aura emanating from this stitched-together beast was somewhat similar to that of the monster that was transformed from a human and was killed in Hong'an County.

"It seems that it has been infected by the aura of this strange beast."

Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the stitched-together beast.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a dark-colored crystal near the navel of the stitched beast. This dark crystal was what kept the stitched beast alive.

"We've found the source. This is probably what the Blood Mist Cult has been researching all along."

Lu Xuan guessed in his heart, but there was no trace of fear or apprehension in his eyes.

As I get older, I no longer find these strange and unusual things scary.

Haven't we seen enough demons and monsters over the years?

What's truly terrifying isn't the monsters themselves, but the people who created them.

At this moment, the first-class followers of the Blood Mist Cult opposite Lu Xuan also looked at him with fierce cruelty.

"You old bastard, how dare you cause trouble on the territory of my Blood Mistress Cult!"

"Today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

The first-class believer roared, and then the enormous beast that sat on it strode towards Lu Xuan.

As he charged forward, he raised his palm and slammed it down fiercely in Lu Xuan's direction.

The hand was sewn with the claw of a fourth-rank mythical beast.

The tiger's claws still retained the power of that strange beast.

"boom!"

After it slammed its paw on the ground, the earth shook violently.

The ground beneath Lu Xuan's feet was also constantly cracking.

Lu Xuan's figure flickered.

They fought with the strange beast for a while.

In the end, it was discovered that this strange beast did not seem to have any other special abilities; it was just brute force.

After testing the waters a bit, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated.

He unleashed the Crimson Flame Bone-Splitting Whip.

The long whip was suddenly swung and lashed out.

A terrifying force erupted, instantly striking the beast's body.

Bang!

The once ferocious beast was now being whipped backward by Lu Xuan.

Even the first-class cultist on the beast's shoulder was astonished upon witnessing this scene.

This old man's strength is actually so great?

With a single whip, they sent the beasts they had painstakingly raised flying backward.

Moreover, the strange beasts had been constantly attacking Lu Xuan.

But they found that there was no way to subdue Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was as agile as a monkey.

"That's all there is to it."

"Its power is so-so, it seems to be just an ordinary product."

Lu Xuan lashed out with his whip.

It looks easy, but it is actually very powerful.

It must be said that this kind of strange beast did not pose much of a threat to a half-step fifth-grade expert like him.

But if it were an ordinary fourth-rank, first-stage martial artist...

He's bound to get punched a few times.

Because this strange beast performed well in all aspects.

It's practically a combination of the best features of a whole host of mythical beasts.

This allows them to unleash their superior combat power.

Such a creature, created in this way specifically for combat, is quite rare.

However, this thing has some advantages.

However, the drawbacks are also very obvious.

That would be too much of a mix.

They were just scraps from a bunch of fourth-grade exotic beasts.

Even if you manage to piece it all together, what can you do?

The upper limit is there.

However, if the other party continues to research in this direction, they might end up creating some monsters.

Lu Xuan's heart sank.

Those who conduct such strange experiments are truly a group of perverts.

"roar!"

The beast opened its mouth and let out a furious roar.

Lu Xuan swung his long whip again, this time without holding back at all.

All the Yuan Gang power within his body erupted.

The long whip in his hand seemed to transform into a mountain range, smashing fiercely down on the strange beast.

A crisp, tearing sound was heard.

The beast's body was instantly torn apart.

Limbs flew everywhere, and pieces of flesh scattered.

At the same time, the crystal appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes.

Lu Xuan raised his hand and flicked it, the long whip carrying the black crystal into his hand.

call!

As soon as the crystal was in hand, a powerful corrosive force emanated from it.

And it was also rapidly devouring the life force within Lu Xuan's body.

Lu Xuan was startled.

Fortunately, the black crystal was not very powerful.

If this thing were any more powerful, I'm afraid I would suffer a lot of losses.

In addition, the black crystal was not very large.

The Spirit Ash Holy Flame within Lu Xuan's body released a slight burst of power, completely incinerating the corrosive force.

Protected by the Holy Flame of Spirit Ash, Lu Xuan was able to hold the crystal safely.

"You...you actually managed to touch the sacred stone!"

Although the first-class believer was seriously injured, he was still alive.

Seeing Lu Xuan holding that crystal in his hand, his eyes were filled with shock.

"You actually regard this rotten thing as a sacred stone?"

Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with a chilling aura.

"Where is your Dark Rain branch located?"

"Tell the truth."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

"Pah, you won't find out from me."

"If you've got the guts, don't leave!"

"Our branch's young master will arrive in an instant! He will surely tear you to pieces!"

These believers are quite principled.

Lu Xuan originally intended to wait for this guy to escape back to the branch hall, but he didn't expect him to stay and fight. Judging from this, he must have also notified the experts in the branch hall.

The other party is probably on their way.

However, it cannot be ruled out that these people have already started to flee.

The other party only asked him to stay here to buy time.

Lu Xuan realized that this person was not of much value.

He immediately stomped on the head and crushed it.

He then released his mental energy.

hum!

In an instant, Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged outwards in all directions like a giant, all-encompassing net.

Under his powerful mental perception.

All the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him were also imprinted into his mind.

"Huh!?"

"They really are preparing to run away!"
