Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 164 - Treasure

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Treasure

“Hmph”

With a cold snort, Tang Qi had already instantaneously appeared behind the old man.

Reaching towards his shoulder, a faint Melting Furnace Power began to emanate.

But just then, the old man’s head twisted at an unimaginable angle, grinning at Tang Qi, his neck stretching like a serpent as his body continued to flee forward.

However, his head flew backward, bypassing Tang Qi’s hand, wrapping around his arm and biting towards Tang Qi’s neck.

Shick!

A knife light similarly appeared at an unthinkable angle.

The ghastly white Bone Blade plunged directly into the head, pinning the ugly skull emitting a foul stench to the wooden floor just before it could reach Tang Qi’s neck, followed by a wretched howl that echoed through the wooden house the next moment.

“Ah~Ahhhh”

“Let me go, let me go.”

The old man’s body had also stopped moving, swiftly returning to its original position.

He writhed on the ground like a bug, enduring the torment of the Power of Pain.

Tang Qi slowly squatted down, reaching out again towards the head.

Abruptly, the howling stopped.

The old man pinned to the ground curled up, then quickly melted away like a pool of black mud, seeping beneath the floorboards.

In Tang Qi’s eyes, the image of the Heart Polluter did not vanish.

“A polluted soul, is that how you obtained such a wondrous body?”

“Such a method of escape is quite ingenious~Ah!”

“Boom”

As the last word was uttered, the dark muzzle in Tang Qi’s hand fiercely aimed at the floor.

Without hesitation, the golden Light Flames spewed out once again.

At close range, a mere floorboard couldn’t withstand the might of Blood Python No.1.

Amidst a roar of terrifying pressure, the entire floorboard, along with a mass of black mud, turned to ashes in the golden flames, though a small clump survived.

But it seemed to have lost the power to flee, and the old man’s hideous face appeared within the sludge.

He transformed into a black streak of light, lunging at Tang Qi.

At the same time, with his curses and murmurs, a myriad of illusions sprouted in Tang Qi’s mind.

As if the world he was in had become a black swamp, disgusting thoughts and ideas emerged, turning into all sorts of bizarre monsters, trying to entangle Tang Qi and drag him deep into the black swamp.

“Hmph, disgusting thing.”

“Bang”

With a single thought from Tang Qi, the Melting Furnace Power immediately burned off all the malicious thoughts.

Upon opening his eyes, the black mud was inches away.

Buzz~Crack!

With a casual slap, the small clump of black mud was instantly smashed to the ground.

Shick!

Heige’s Resentment was pinned once again to the floorboards. Amidst the painful screams, the clump of black mud slowly transformed into something resembling a baby, perfectly shrinking to the likeness of the small old man, only the face remained unchanged.

Even uglier!

And it cried out with a piercing wail that made one’s head spin and dizzy, continuously polluting thoughts, also attempting to invade Tang Qi’s mind. Unfortunately, it was utterly incapable of breaking through the Power of the Melting Furnace; those disgusting stray thoughts scattered without a trace as soon as they touched the golden Light Flames.

“Too weak, both too weak.”

Tang Qi shook his head in lament as he bent down.

The woman, who already dead and bore half the bloodline of the Charming Demon, in combination with the bizarre Heart Polluter, had a combined combat power that was not insignificant. If they were really lucky, it might even be possible to trap and kill a professional-level being.

Yet, it was Tang Qi they came across.

In terms of spiritual power confrontation, even other wizards who had reached the professional level might not be able to beat him.

With the Power of the Melting Furnace, obtained through the burning of “fuel”, it sometimes amounted to cheating.

Tang Qi ignored the pollution, suddenly grasped the head of the ugly baby, and forced it to lock eyes with him.

“Now, tell me, why do you need to specially find a Beast Tamer and control him? What exactly are you trying to do?”

Tang Qi’s words seemed to touch the greatest secret in the baby’s heart. Its eyes suddenly widened, it shook its head desperately, trying to evade.

Unfortunately, under the “Red”, it had no choice.

Very quickly, the ugly baby calmed down. Aside from occasional convulsions due to the torment of Power of Pain, it remained stupefied, under Tang Qi’s control, slowly revealing the plans it had devised with the woman.

Initially, Tang Qi had no expression upon hearing it.

However, as the story progressed, his brows gradually furrowed, and a look of surprise surfaced.

After interrogating it a few more times and confirming that the Heart Polluter had no more information to wring out, Tang Qi blew its head off with a single shot.

Simultaneously, he stood up and walked toward the woman’s corpse, contemplating the Heart Polluter’s “spill”.

Boom!

From within the corpse, a Resentful Soul rose up, still maintaining its naked state, but the beautiful body appeared especially twisted due to the resentment at the time of death. As soon as it saw Tang Qi, it tried screaming curses, but could not stop a hand wrapped in golden Light Flames from reaching towards it.

In a cloud of dust and smoke, new fuel was tossed into the Melter.

Then he turned back, casually collecting the Heart Polluter’s Resentful Soul too.

Afterwards, he did not immediately go to rescue those unlucky men and women courting death. Instead, he sat directly on the sofa, pondering how to deal with a secret he had just learned.

The woman and the Heart Polluter’s scheme was for a possible “Treasure”.

It sounded like a clichéd story.

But judging from what befell them, it indeed was true.

Like that Heart Polluter, his power was actually obtained from the outskirts of the treasure.

Before that, he was just a loser who had given up on life and attempted suicide after the person he loved got engaged to someone else.

Of course, even as a Transcendent, he was still a loser.

According to his narration, he was originally from Cold River Town and chose to commit suicide in a cave on the mountain, yet accidentally obtained a green stone from within. After fusing with it, he became a Heart Polluter.

He originally wanted to continue exploring that cave, because after becoming a Transcendant, his senses were incredibly sharp, and he could feel that deep in the cave there were irresistibly tempting treasures.

By his own description, it was a “Charm” that deeply infiltrated the soul, intensely compelling.

Unfortunately, he had just ventured deeper when he was scared off by a sudden surge of bizarre Monsters.

Afterwards, he met the woman with half Charming Demon bloodline.

The two of them hit it off and planned to partner up to explore the cave and grab the treasures inside.

Initially, they used various baits to try to lure away those monsters, and after several experiments, they found human flesh to be the most effective.
