Chapter 2438: Chapter 2439: True Martial Flame
"Immortality..." Lü Zhengqing muttered softly, his eyes filled with an indescribable complex expression.
"That’s right, as long as you submit to me, I can grant you endless life and magnificent power!" the evil entity spoke in a most tempting tone.
Lü Zhengqing suddenly let out a light laugh and then slowly raised his eyes to look at this evil entity.
"No need to say more. As a descendant of the True Martial Emperor, how could I bow to a mere evil entity like you?"
Even the evil entity did not expect Lü Zhengqing to refuse, momentarily stunned.
But soon he let out an extremely ear-piercing and unpleasant laugh.
"True Martial Emperor? Hahaha, your deity has long since become our food. What qualification do you have to call yourself an emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhengqing’s entire body shook violently as he looked at the evil entity in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"You probably don’t know, it was I who devoured the deity you all devoutly worshipped back then. So now you should submit to me, for I am your new deity!"
As those words were spoken, the evil entity’s form suddenly began to change, transforming into the image of the True Martial in the blink of an eye.
He stood proudly in mid-air, exuding divine might, inspiring boundless awe in others.
Most importantly, upon taking the form of the True Martial, all traces of evil aura vanished from him, replaced by supreme majesty.
Seeing this scene, Lü Zhengqing’s pupils instantly shrank to the size of needlepoints, his face turning deathly pale.
What could be more heartbreaking than hearing that the deity you devoutly worshipped had died?
"The old god is dead, kneel now, and I shall be your new master!" the evil entity declared in a sinister voice.
Those who were previously dragged into the sky by black threads all fell to the ground, then fervently prostrated themselves before the evil entity.
Only Lü Zhengqing stood there, unmoved.
"Why do you not kneel?" the evil entity looked down at Lü Zhengqing, demanding in an imposing tone.
By this time, Lü Zhengqing’s demeanor had returned to normal, the pallor on his face gradually fading, replaced by boundless determination and resolve.
He slowly raised his head, a majestic aura of True Martial began to boil around him.
"These knees of mine kneel only to the justice of the Heavenly Dao, and only to the ancestors of my sect. As for the likes of you..."
Lü Zhengqing took a deep breath, his eyes shining brilliantly like diamonds.
"An evil entity is just an evil entity; even if disguised as an emperor, it remains evil! So today, I, Lü Zhengqing, will slay demons and purge evil, supporting the Heavenly Dao!"
With a final shout, Lü Zhengqing formed the Subdue Demon Seal with his hand and charged at the evil entity with unstoppable momentum.
The evil entity let out a cold laugh, "Seeking death, are you? Very well, let me grant you your wish!"
With a word, countless black threads emerged instantly, weaving into a large net that descended upon Lü Zhengqing.
Lü Zhengqing, though harboring a resolve to die, knew that if caught by this net, there would be no escape, and that would be an unjust end.
Thus, in the split second when there was no room for delay, he dodged, narrowly avoiding being caught by the net, and circled back to attack the evil entity again.
The evil entity snorted coldly, a flash of sinister light in its eyes.
As Lü Zhengqing was sprinting, he suddenly sensed an immense threat, causing him to abruptly halt.
At the same moment, the ground in front of him silently collapsed, forming an unfathomably deep pit.
Countless strands of black thread then shot out from the pit.
Lü Zhengqing evaded swiftly but a few threads still pierced through his foot.
With a few muted sounds, the threads passed through, leaving trails of blood.
Lü Zhengqing grunted in pain, his face contorted with discomfort.
But his response was timely, nearly simultaneous with his foot being injured, he swiftly formed a powerful Expel Demon Seal with his fingers, then pressed it onto the pit before him.
Boom!
Golden light shot straight in, and the pit erupted with a violent explosion.
The black threads that were swaying wildly then vanished without a trace.
One must admit, the combat prowess Lü Zhengqing displayed in that moment was enough to catch one’s attention.
But just then, a figure silently appeared behind him and struck with a palm.
Bang!
Caught off guard, Lü Zhengqing was sent flying, and when he landed, fresh blood gushed from his orifices, showing he had been severely injured.
Only then did he see clearly who had ambushed him from behind.
It was Lü Xiuming, with whom he had always been at odds.
At this moment, Lü Xiuming’s appearance was hideous and terrifying, his eyes as dark as ink, exuding a thick evil aura, making just a glance send a chill down one’s spine.
"Hahahaha, Lü Zhengqing, how does it feel to have your fellow sect members turn against you? Don’t worry, he will soon take your life!" the evil entity laughed heartily.
Lü Zhengqing’s face turned grim; though his relationship with Lü Xiuming was terrible, seeing a once high-spirited fellow Taoist reduced to such a state was immensely distressing.
"Elder Xiuming, have you been controlled by this evil entity?" Lü Zhengqing shouted, attempting to awaken Lü Xiuming’s consciousness.
But as soon as his words fell, Lü Xiuming lunged like a ravenous wolf.
After the evil aura entered his body, Lü Xiuming’s power increased significantly, even a simple lunge exuded a terrifying pressure.
Lü Zhengqing sidestepped, barely dodging the attack.
But in the next moment, he was once again blasted away by Lü Xiuming.
With a thud, he stumbled to the ground, coughing violently and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, his gaze then dimmed.
At that moment, Lü Xiuming lunged again, opening his bloodthirsty mouth, viciously aiming for Lü Zhengqing’s neck.
But at that instant, Lü Zhengqing’s eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance, and his energy and blood subsequently boiled completely.
Confronted by the raging momentum emanating from Lü Zhengqing, Lü Xiuming’s face showed a hint of fear and doubt, then attempted to retreat.
But as soon as he took half a step back, Lü Zhengqing grabbed hold of his legs.
"Roar!" Lü Xiuming opened his mouth, letting out an extremely painful howl.
For at that moment, blazing flames rose from the bodies of the two.
The Flames of True Martial!
This was the flame born from Lü Zhengqing’s burning energy and blood, incredibly potent against all evil spirits and monsters.
Lü Xiuming struggled frantically, trying to break free from Lü Zhengqing’s grip.
But all his efforts were futile before Lü Zhengqing, who had long resigned himself to life and death.
He held tightly onto Lü Xiuming’s legs, eyes shining with determination and relief.
For under the searing flames of True Martial, Lü Xiuming’s face and body began to melt like a candle.
