Immortal God of War

Chapter 650 - 626 Death Flower_2

"That’s not right!"

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang’s expression changed, and he gave chase to the four of them. Because the direction the two sisters were heading was exactly where Fatty and Wan Chou were fighting, they were obviously trying to help Wan Chou escape.

BOOM!

A dozen or so breaths passed.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted in front.

"Bastards, stay if you dare!"

Following closely, the angry voice of Fatty resounded.

Hearing this, a chill ran down Qin Feiyang’s spine, and he didn’t continue his pursuit. Because Wan Chou controlled a perfect auxiliary battle art and was also a Three Star War Ancestor, Qin Feiyang couldn’t catch up with his current speed at all.

Not long after, Qin Feiyang saw Fatty skimming towards him.

Upon arriving, Fatty frowned and said, "Boss, what on earth are you up to? How did you let those two wenches escape?"

Qin Feiyang replied solemnly, "They were supposed to die, but at the critical moment, someone secretly helped them."

"Who?" Fatty was amazed.

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I didn’t see clearly, but I asked White-Eyed Wolf to chase them. We should go and meet up with Lu Xingchen first."

Fatty nodded.

However, when the two reached the edge of the marsh, they found that Lu Xingchen was missing; only the Black Dragon and the Alligator King were there.

Qin Feiyang looked at the Black Dragon and the Alligator King, asking, "Where is Lu Xingchen?"

"Huh?"

Both beasts were momentarily stunned, sweeping their gaze around as they too appeared confused.

Fatty said angrily, "Speak up!"

The Black Dragon shook his head. "We were all focused on Qin Feiyang earlier; we didn’t notice when he left."

Hearing this, Qin Feiyang and Fatty looked at each other, a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

Lu Xingchen had disappeared, and the mysterious person had appeared. Was this a coincidence?

SWISH!

Not long after, the sound of something rushing through the air came from the jungle to their left, and the Wolf King landed like lightning in front of Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang asked, "How did it go?"

The Wolf King said, "That person was very fast. I couldn’t catch up, and I didn’t see his face clearly."

What? Even the Wolf King couldn’t catch up?

Qin Feiyang and Fatty looked at each other.

Doesn’t that mean this mysterious person’s cultivation is even stronger than the Wolf King’s? Are there such figures in the other eight prefectures?

The Wolf King suddenly paused, looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Where’s Lu Xingchen?"

"I was about to ask you," Qin Feiyang replied via voice transmission. "When you were chasing that mysterious person, was Lu Xingchen still here?"

Since the Alligator King had been subdued by Lu Xingchen, some things couldn’t be said openly.

The Wolf King thought carefully and secretly responded, "I wasn’t paying attention to him at the time, so I don’t know. What? Are you suspicious of Lu Xingchen? Impossible. He’s merely a Seven-star War Emperor; he doesn’t have that kind of strength."

Qin Feiyang’s brows furrowed deeply.

He was indeed suspicious of Lu Xingchen; Lu Xingchen’s disappearance was too much of a coincidence. But the Wolf King’s words weren’t without reason. Lu Xingchen simply didn’t possess that kind of ability. Still, what was really going on? Why would Lu Xingchen leave without a word?

SWISH!

At this moment, another sound of rushing air came from the jungle to their right.

Qin Feiyang turned his head and saw a white figure speeding towards them. Who else could it be but Lu Xingchen?

"Hm?"

Seeing Qin Feiyang and the others gathered together, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback, then said with pleasant surprise, "Have you already killed Wan Chou and the others?"

"No, a mysterious person rescued them," Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"What?"

Lu Xingchen’s expression faltered. He asked in astonishment, "Someone capable of rescuing them from your hands? Who on earth could this person be?"

Qin Feiyang said, "We don’t know either; we didn’t see their true appearance. By the way, where did you go just now?"

At Qin Feiyang’s question, Lu Xingchen seemed to recall something and said solemnly, "We can talk about the mysterious person later. First, let me take you to a place."

As he spoke, his expression was tinged with excitement.

"Where?"

Qin Feiyang and the others were puzzled.

"You’ll know when we get there."

Lu Xingchen gave a mysterious smile, then turned and led Qin Feiyang and the others towards the jungle on the right.

「About fifty breaths passed.」

They arrived before a valley. The valley, spanning several tens of zhang, was enclosed by mountains on all sides, with no apparent entrance or exit.

Fatty glanced at the valley and asked, "What is this place?"

"You’ll know when we get up there and see."

Lu Xingchen once again led the group, this time climbing towards the mountain peak on their left.

The peak was just over a hundred zhang high, and they soon reached the summit. Lu Xingchen made a hushing gesture and walked towards the edge.

Reaching the precipice, they stood amidst the tall grass, peering down into the valley.

In that instant, Qin Feiyang, Fatty, the Wolf King, the Black Dragon, and the Alligator King all felt their scalps tingle with dread.

Within the valley, countless skeletons were piled high. The bone-chilling scene resembled an Asura’s hell!

There were beast bones and human bones alike!

Fatty exclaimed in shock, "What kind of damn place is this? How are there so many white bones?"

Lu Xingchen pointed to a particular spot, saying, "The white bones aren’t important. That flower is the key."

"A flower?"

Qin Feiyang and the others were stunned. Following the direction Lu Xingchen indicated, their gazes soon locked onto a skull.

It was the skull of a ferocious beast.

And in the very center of this skull, astonishingly, a flower was blooming!

The flower, rooted upon the skull, was about the size of a baby’s fist. Its shape was similar to a snow lotus, but it was entirely ghastly white, as if carved from White Bone.

Unlike a snow lotus, however, it had only three leaves, shimmering with a spectral white glow and exuding an eerie, cold sensation.

After observing it for a moment, Fatty asked, "Is this a snow lotus?"

"How could a snow lotus grow on a skeleton?" Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him. Though, this flower did seem somewhat familiar.

Lu Xingchen said, "This is the Death Flower."

"Huh? The Death Flower? How come I’ve never heard of it?" Fatty exclaimed in surprise.

The Wolf King, the Black Dragon, and the Alligator King also showed expressions of astonishment.

Meanwhile, Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up.

With Lu Xingchen’s reminder, he finally recalled the records concerning this Death Flower.

Noticing the unusual gleam in Qin Feiyang’s eyes, Fatty looked perplexed. "Boss, that look in your eyes is a bit off. Could this be some kind of treasure? But the name ’Death Flower’... it sounds like an ill omen, doesn’t it?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "In a way, the Death Flower is indeed an ominous thing."

"What do you mean? Is there another layer of meaning?" Fatty asked, puzzled.

Qin Feiyang nodded, then looked at Lu Xingchen. "Since you know it’s a Death Flower, you must also know its properties. Why don’t you explain it to everyone?"

Lu Xingchen replied, "I’ve only heard bits and pieces and don’t know the full details. It would be better if you explained."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "We’re all perceptive people here; why the pretense?"

"Er!" Lu Xingchen was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Brother Qin, can’t you be a little more tactful? At least spare me some face!"

Qin Feiyang scoffed inwardly. "I’ve always been this direct, Brother Lu. If you’re not accustomed to it, I’ll try to be more mindful in the future."

"No need. I actually prefer dealing with straightforward people like you."

"Alright, I’ll tell you about the Death Flower."

"The Death Flower itself carries a potent poison, lethal enough to kill instantly. It’s no exaggeration to say that even a War Ancestor would die upon contact."

"Furthermore, apart from a unique flower called the Jade Crystal Flower, nothing can neutralize its poison, not even a Detoxification Pill."

"Of course, legendary divine pills and miraculous elixirs are another matter entirely," Lu Xingchen said.

"Is it that terrifying?"

Hearing this, as Fatty, the White-Eyed Wolf, the Black Dragon, and the Alligator King looked at the Death Flower again, their eyes were filled with profound apprehension.

"Indeed, it is very terrifying," Lu Xingchen said. "However, it also has another name: the Undying Flower."

"Huh?" Fatty was somewhat baffled. "Death Flower, Undying Flower? Why are these two names so contradictory? Do you mean this Death Flower never withers, that it’s truly immortal?"

"No," Lu Xingchen explained. "The Death Flower does wither. When I say ’undying,’ I’m referring to its ability to be refined into a miraculous pill that can save lives."

The Black Dragon interjected, "Hold on. Didn’t you just say the Death Flower carries a deadly poison? Shouldn’t refining it result in a lethal poison pill?"

"You’re right," Lu Xingchen said with a smile. "But as I also mentioned, a unique flower called the Jade Crystal Flower can counteract the Death Flower’s toxicity."

"By combining the Death Flower with the Jade Crystal Flower, the toxicity can be neutralized, turning it into a life-saving medicinal pill."

"So, what kind of pill can these two rare flowers be refined into, and what miraculous effects does it possess?" Fatty asked.

This was also the question on the minds of the White-Eyed Wolf, the Black Dragon, and the Alligator King.
