My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1762: Desiccated Corpse

"Are you the ancestor of the Lu Family?"

"Pretty ruthless, aren’t you? Such harsh methods, not even sparing your descendants."

Xiao Zheng kicked a nearby corpse and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchan laughed like a drunk, the sides of his cheeks showing a sickly red color: "With the coming of the Evil God, I naturally have to present my best skills to entertain you."

"Moreover, these wastes, well, they’re dead. But if they can provide me a little help before dying, it counts as a purpose fulfilled."

As he spoke, the stench of decay on him intensified.

"No wonder you’ve secluded yourself in this valley for years. If my body smelled like yours, I wouldn’t dare to see people either," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Faced with his mockery, Lu Jingchan was not angry, but rather smirked dismissively: "We’re both people of the martial world; only the strongest realm is the pursuit of our generation! Why bother with such external matters?"

Hearing his words, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said directly: "No, no, no, we’re not the same kind of people. I am the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, representing justice. Whereas you belong to the demon path, representing evil."

"We are born enemies, and it’s destined that evil cannot triumph over righteousness."

Haha.

Lu Jingchan laughed loudly, then said: "I do indeed cultivate demon techniques and am indeed known as a great demon by the world. But as for you? Haven’t you already killed quite a few?"

"I indeed have killed many, but compared to you, there’s still a big difference between us," Xiao Zheng said without caring about his words, smiling. "At least, I only kill those who deserve it, unlike you, who spares not even your own family."

"I truly don’t know what meaning there is for a person like you to live in this world. If I were you, I’d have sought a tall building to leap from long ago."

"I do not wish to die; if I were to die, what would be the meaning of all my efforts?" Lu Jingchan chuckled slowly, his expression as sinister as it could be.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s expression turned a bit peculiar as he asked: "Just how long do you plan on dragging this out with your nonsense? If you feel you still need more time, I’ll give you another half an hour, provided you stop the jibber-jabber."

Lu Jingchan’s eyes flashed with surprise, unable to help but ask: "How did you know I was just stalling for time? Have you detected something abnormal within my body?"

Xiao Zheng looked at him as if he were an idiot and said: "Anyone who isn’t blind can see it, okay? You just devoured so many people’s blood essence; unless you digest it all, your combat strength is less than half of your usual."

"You’re right, I’m certainly using this time to digest the blood essence I just devoured." Lu Jingchan’s face finally became more solemn, then asked, "But I’m curious, since you know my strength is currently lacking, why don’t you attack me?"

"Because I want you to die convinced and satisfied," Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing his words, Lu Jingchan held a grim face, musing to himself: "The Evil God lives up to his name, truly bold due to his skills. But do you really think you’re already unmatched in the world?"

"Whether I’m unmatched in the world now, that I indeed do not know. But the one thing I can be sure of is that killing you is as easy as a flip of the palm," Xiao Zheng said confidently, twisting the corner of his mouth.

Lu Jingchan repeatedly uttered the word "Good," and the sickly red in his cheeks finally disappeared at this moment.

Next, from within him erupted a formidable aura.

Mid-stage Martial Saint level!

Feeling the powerful aura, surprise finally flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes: "It seems your family’s ancestral ’Demon Fetus Gathering Cauldron Technique’ really has some merit.

Despite absorbing so much impure blood essence, it can actually help elevate your cultivation temporarily to Mid-stage Martial Saint."

"It’s just a pity that Miss Su was sent up the mountain too late to bear my ’Demon Fetus Gathering Cauldron Technique,’" Lu Jingchan said with a cold sneer, "Otherwise, after absorbing all her blood essence, I wouldn’t just temporarily reach Mid-stage Martial Saint but would break through completely."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng inexplicably felt relieved.

Because Lu Jingchan’s recent words revealed a fact to him: that Su Zimo is still alive. This was the true reason he was cooperating with Lu Jingchan’s stalling tactics all along.

Now, having confirmed Su Zimo is still alive, Xiao Zheng fully relaxed, then wielded his long spear, executing a beautiful spear flourish: "By now, you should have digested the blood essence you just devoured. If you still feel you need more time, I can grant you another ten minutes."

In response, Lu Jingchan sneered and said: "No need; although my ’Demon Fetus Gathering Cauldron Technique’ isn’t perfect, it’s more than enough to deal with you. Today, Xiunv Peak will be your burial site!"

His words had just barely fallen when his entire body charged toward Xiao Zheng in an instant.

The speed was so fast, totally unlike a centenarian.

And what’s strange is that though Lu Jingchan is like the Ghost King, a half-human half-ghost remnant body, his attacking aura was aggressive and open, not eerie but instead contained a kind of bold dominance intermingled.

Again surprised, Xiao Zheng showed no trace of panic. After swinging his long spear, he swept forward. The terrifying gale whistled by, turning the towering ancient trees planted on both sides of the valley entrance into powder.

Feeling the power of this strike, a surge of terror actually welled up in Lu Jingchan’s heart, followed by an immediate retreat, directly flying away to dodge Xiao Zheng’s strike.

"Not even started, and already planning to flee?"

"That won’t do; I’m not quite finished battling yet!"

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, then pursued Lu Jingchan, continuously thrusting his spear. The solid-looking spear energies forced the Lu Family Ancestor to resemble a rat scurrying across the street!

"Truly infuriating!"

While evading, Lu Jingchan’s inner heart kept roaring.

He never expected Xiao Zheng’s strength to be so terrifying; even though he’s temporarily reached the Mid-stage Martial Saint realm, facing Xiao Zheng’s attacks, he still feels he’s not Xiao Zheng’s match.

However, if he continues to be chased like this, he’s reluctant.

Glancing back at Xiao Zheng pursuing with the spear, he finally made up his mind.

"Killing me isn’t so easy!"

Lu Jingchan shouted explosively as his aura ascended once more!

The entire Xiunv Peak seemed to tremble with his roar!
