Chapter 130 Skinning and Torture, Unsealing the Storage Ring for 9 Days, Level 1
An extremely sharp screech tore through the night sky above Panlong Mountain.
The black water serpent's massive body writhed wildly, its rough scales scraping against the villa's walls and floors, sending large chunks of load-bearing wall debris flying. The entire villa teetered on the brink of collapse.
Lu Yuan gripped the fleshy growth on its head, and the muscles in his right arm bulged out like steel cables.
"Get up!"
Lu Yuan let out a low growl.
There were no fancy spells or earth-shattering collisions of true energy.
This is the purest and most primal form of violence.
Sizzle—!
A teeth-grinding tearing sound rang out.
Lu Yuan forcibly ripped off the toughest piece of scalp from the Blackwater Serpent's head, along with a small portion of its skull. Dark green blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the ceiling and making a sizzling, corrosive sound.
But it's not over yet.
Lu Yuan gripped the piece of flesh attached to the scalp tightly with his right hand, while his left foot stepped on its huge snout.
The vital energy of the Mahayana stage surged wildly within his body.
He suddenly pulled backward.
With a desperate scream from the black water snake, Lu Yuan tore off a section of its black back skin, which was over ten meters long, from head to tail!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The Blackwater Serpent's supposedly formidable defense proved as fragile as a piece of waterlogged paper under Lu Yuan's purely physical attacks.
It finally learned to be afraid.
This human is not some ordinary person without true energy; it is an ancient tyrannosaurus rex in human skin!
The black water snake desperately tried to break free from the rusty iron sword pinned to its tail. It even went so far as to bite off half of its own tail. Its huge body suddenly shrank back, trying to escape back underground through the hole it had just created.
"Trying to run away?"
Lu Yuan casually tossed away the bloody snakeskin in his hand.
He took a step forward and landed directly on the exposed spine of the black water snake.
Click.
The terrifying weight of the Mahayana stage directly broke three sections of its spine. The Black Water Serpent's massive body slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, barely breathing.
Lu Yuan crouched down, his right hand transforming into a chopstick, precisely plunging into the gap in its broken spine.
His fingers groped around in the sticky flesh for a moment, then suddenly gripped a translucent, pale gold tendon.
"Not bad luck. Although it didn't transform into a dragon, the main tendon has at least barely taken shape."
Lu Yuan pulled hard.
He pulled a three-meter-long golden tendon from the spine of the black water snake. The surface of the tendon emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual energy and carried an extremely pure blood essence.
This stuff is used to brew medicine to cleanse Lu Qingxue's marrow, and it's much gentler than the previous flawed Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.
The black water snake twitched twice and then became completely still.
A monster that had been suppressed at the bottom of the Dragon Locking Well for three hundred years and almost wiped out the entire Jiangnan Celestial Observation Bureau was skinned alive by Lu Yuan in the most brutal way, dying worse than a wild dog.
The rain outside the villa has lessened a bit.
Lin Zhen stood at the doorway with several special forces soldiers, his mouth slightly agape, the light in his eyes flickering violently. The surrounding noise vanished completely in that instant.
They looked at the mess in the living room, at the gruesome death of the black water snake, and then at Lu Yuan, who was shirtless and holding a glowing tendon in his hand.
This chilling feeling that seeped into their very bones made even their hands, which were gripping their guns, tremble uncontrollably.
"Mr. Lu..."
Lin Zhen swallowed hard, his voice dry as if he were chewing sand.
Lu Yuan ignored him.
He turned around, casually pulled the rusty iron sword nailed to the pillar, and tossed it into his Nine Heavens Storage Ring. Then, carrying the dragon's main tendon, he stepped through the blood-soaked ground and went up to the second floor.
The bedroom door on the second floor was shattered by the earthquake.
Lu Qingxue remained curled up in the corner of the bed. The frost in the room began to slowly melt after the black water viper died.
Seeing Lu Yuan walk in covered in blood, Lu Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
"elder brother!"
Lu Qingxue's tears finally broke free. She didn't ask what the monster was, nor where Lu Yuan had jumped from. She only knew that as long as this man was there, even if the sky fell, it wouldn't hit her.
The violence and murderous intent in Lu Yuan's eyes receded like the tide the moment he felt his sister's body temperature.
He raised his hand and patted his sister's back somewhat stiffly.
"It's alright now."
The voice of the Great Ascension stage immortal was unusually warm, carrying a hint of human warmth.
He slowly pushed a wisp of the blood and qi he had accumulated at the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool into Lu Qingxue's body through his palm, soothing her restless Nine Yin Meridians.
After half an hour.
The sound of helicopter rotors could be heard outside Yunding Mountain Villa.
Shen Qingci, along with the Tianjian Bureau's cleanup team, finally arrived from the capital.
She walked into the mangled villa, dressed in a smart black trench coat and military boots. When she saw the skinned and dismembered corpse of the black serpent, even she, who was used to supernatural events, felt her stomach churn unexpectedly.
Lu Yuan changed into a clean set of casual clothes and sat on the only intact sofa in the living room. On the table were the cleaned dragon tendon and a stack of documents.
"Mr. Lu."
Shen Qingci walked up to Lu Yuan and, without saying a word, bowed deeply, bending her waist to a ninety-degree angle.
"This was a serious dereliction of duty by the Astronomical Bureau. There was a mole within their ranks, which almost led to a major disaster."
She straightened up, took a black metal box out of her trench coat pocket, and handed it to Lu Yuan with both hands.
"By order of Elder Li, the Jiangnan warehouse of the Astronomical Bureau is now fully open to you. This is the highest-level access key to the warehouse. You can go and take anything you want at any time, in any quantity."
Shen Qingci is very clever.
She didn't mention the previously promised "choose any three items," but instead granted unlimited access. She knew very well that after witnessing Lu Yuan's ability to capture demons from mid-air, any attempt to negotiate with this man was tantamount to suicide.
Absolute obedience and a full-scale whitewashing effort. This is the only official policy of the Chinese government towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took the box and casually tossed it onto the coffee table.
"Has the mole been identified?"
He leaned back on the sofa, looking at Shen Qingci with indifferent eyes.
"It's been confirmed." Shen Qingci straightened up abruptly. "It was Gu Ning from the archives. She stole the doorplate and forced the activation of pump number three. But half an hour after the incident, she was found dead in an abandoned warehouse in the old city. Her neck had been snapped in one blow."
Shen Qingci paused for a moment, her expression turning extremely unpleasant.
"We found half a tortoise shell at the scene. And... Gu Ning's overseas account recently received a huge remittance from the 'S.H.I.E.L.D. Consortium'."
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Foundation.
Lu Yuan tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly with his index finger.
He certainly didn't know what this conglomerate did. But he knew that these people were after the pure spiritual energy within his sister's body.
"Bring me that half of the tortoise shell."
Lu Yuan stood up.
He discovered something interesting when he forcibly opened the storage ring with that drop of Qi Refining stage true essence.
The "mysterious copper piece" used to activate the Sirius Starfield teleportation array resonated with something in the storage ring.
And that resonant aura had an extremely subtle similarity to the tortoise shell that Shen Qingci had mentioned.
"Since they like to play dirty tricks."
Lu Yuan walked to the French windows and looked at the gradually subsiding downpour outside.
"Then I'll personally crush their bones inch by inch."
