Chapter 356: Lu Turtle, You’re Ruthless!
Under the chaotic battle on Bibo Island, as the Seven Kingdoms Alliance joined in, the tide of the battlefield began to tilt.
“Senior Sister!”
On this battlefield, Xu Lingfeng looked toward his own senior sister with concern. However, when he saw Lin Chang’an holding back the Blood Corpse, a complicated expression could not help but appear in his eyes.
Although he had only recently broken through to the Mid Core Formation stage, he could already see the gap between them.
This caused the last trace of unwillingness in his heart to dissipate, ultimately turning into helpless resignation.
Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an, who was restraining the Blood Corpse, shouted loudly:
“Fellow Daoist Fairy of Rainbow Skirt, I won’t be able to hold this Blood Corpse for long!”
Upon hearing this, the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt, who was currently battling the Young Island Lord Ma, twitched her eye. Others might not know, but how could she not?
Moreover, although the Blood Corpse was powerful, it was restrained by the Killing Origin Sword Art.
“Damn it! You dare ruin my plans—today I’ll let you become nourishment for the Blood Corpse!”
Seeing the Blood Corpse being entangled, the Young Island Lord Ma sneered and instead drove the Blood Corpse to devour this man’s essence blood completely.
“Moo!”
The Azure-Horned Ox let out a deep roar, golden defensive light flickering around its body. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Chang’an relied on cooperation with his Mid Third-rank spirit pet.
His combat strength had already rivaled that of a Late Core Formation cultivator, causing many to reveal shocked expressions.
Some even fell into thought—sword cultivators were already stronger than others at the same level, let alone with an Azure-Horned Ox assisting.
“This Blood Corpse’s skin is incredibly tough… even tougher than the Azure-Horned Ox’s hide.”
Lin Chang’an secretly found it troublesome. With so many people present, many of his methods were inconvenient to use. It seemed that against this Blood Corpse, he could only rely on sword techniques.
“Roar!”
The towering, hideous Blood Corpse roared wildly, releasing waves of corrosive Blood Fiend Energy from its mouth, even possessing the ability to defile magical artifacts.
“You want to defile my magical artifact!”
A cold glint flashed in Lin Chang’an’s eyes. Raising his hand, nine golden sword gleams appeared.
These nine golden sword gleams, condensed purely from mana, instantly transformed into nine massive golden swords that shot toward the Blood Corpse.
Sword Shadow at Will!
Once this divine ability was unleashed, the sharp pressure of sword energy caused even Core Formation cultivators to glance sideways.
“To think he has mastered the Giant Sword Technique to this extent!”
The Giant Sword Technique was not particularly profound—highly practical and commonly used—but easy to learn and hard to master.
Someone like Lin Chang’an, who could release it casually and with such proficiency, was undoubtedly a genius of the Sword Path.
“Roar!”
As the nine giant swords attacked from all directions, the Blood Corpse roared continuously.
Under Lin Chang’an’s indifferent gaze, he also secretly observed his surroundings while communicating with the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt via voice transmission.
【Sword Shadow at Will (Perfect 3562/10000)】
Having cultivated this divine ability to this level, he could now manipulate it freely, even disguising himself in others’ eyes as a sword genius who could execute the Giant Sword Technique so smoothly.
Sometimes, revealing a bit of strength was necessary to obtain the benefits one deserved.
For example, this time—displaying his strength within the Seven Kingdoms Alliance allowed him to gain proper respect.
……
Amid the chaotic battle, Fatty Lei of Bibo Island seemed to sense something amiss. Although the higher-ups were fighting fiercely, it was clear they were holding back.
This made him smell the scent of conspiracy.
“Young Island Lord, we can’t hold on any longer.”
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Fatty Lei already had thoughts of fleeing. But with so many people around, if he fled first, he would surely be remembered and resented.
Hearing his subordinates could no longer endure, the Young Island Lord Ma turned his head, revealing a cold glare.
“A bunch of trash—none of you are willing to risk your lives.”
Although the struggle over Bibo Island’s interests was important, at their level of cultivation, who would easily risk their lives?
Especially since this involved a conflict between two Nascent Soul cultivators—the true outcome depended on the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt and the Young Island Lord Ma.
Many Core Formation cultivators on Bibo Island were merely driven by greed for existing benefits. After all, only a few were truly involved in establishing the Black Market.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance, however, was different. After years of hardship, they finally had an opportunity—how could they give it up?
This led to the current situation: shortly after the battle began, the Core Formation cultivators on Bibo Island’s side were already unable to hold out.
“Moo!”
The Azure-Horned Ox stomped its hooves, violently knocking the Late Third-rank Blood Corpse flying, while Lin Chang’an’s sword gleams followed closely behind.
The cooperation between man and beast completely suppressed the terrifying Blood Corpse.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt’s bizarre movement technique split into seven purple afterimages. The Silver Chain Golden Bell in her hand, along with the bell sounds from her veil, shook the soul.
This left the Young Island Lord Ma extremely frustrated—unable to hit her, while his mind was destabilized by soul attacks, his eyes even began to redden.
“Bitch!”
In a moment of carelessness, he was blasted into the reef area at the edge of the island, stones shattering everywhere.
Emerging from the rubble, his face twisted with hatred.
“Young Island Lord!”
Fatty Lei urgently transmitted his voice again. Though unwilling, the Young Island Lord Ma sneered at the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt:
“Fairy, I have no mood to play with you today. Now comes the real feast…”
Suddenly, he let out a painful groan, and a fiery red aura erupted from his body.
This scene shocked many Core Formation cultivators.
“Possession technique!”
As the beloved grandson of a Nascent Soul cultivator from Blazing Fire Island, the one possessing him could only be the Nascent Soul cultivator—Crimson Fire Old Monster.
“Heh heh!”
A rough laugh echoed. Though not loud, it struck every Core Formation cultivator like thunder, filling them with fear.
The chaotic battlefield instantly separated as this Nascent Soul aura appeared.
“Haha! Surnamed Meng, let’s see how you succeed this time!”
“Crimson Fire Ancestor, these people dared to seize your Bibo Island!”
“Ancestor!”
The Core Formation cultivators on Fatty Lei’s side all revealed victorious smiles. However, when the tall, red-haired figure appeared, a mocking smile curled at his lips.
Seeing this, Fatty Lei felt a sense of foreboding.
“It’s a Nascent Soul cultivator!”
The appearance of the Crimson Fire Old Monster instantly changed the situation.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance side became extremely tense, some even breaking into cold sweat.
“This junior greets Senior Crimson Fire.”
Under pressure, the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt, after receiving voice transmission from the Meng Clan Couple, steadied herself and bowed respectfully.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, the situation has changed…”
Hearing her voice transmission, Lin Chang’an’s expression shifted, but he secretly prepared himself.
The possession technique could only exert about thirty percent of a Nascent Soul cultivator’s strength, and the host body couldn’t last long.
With his current strength, he might not win—but escaping was no problem.
“Fellow Daoist Fairy of Rainbow Skirt, be ready.”
He secretly coordinated with her, preparing to join forces.
“Greetings, Senior Crimson Fire!”
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance cultivators all bowed with pale faces.
“Each generation produces talents. I didn’t expect that after several hundred years of seclusion, so many geniuses have emerged.”
The Crimson Fire Old Monster, with his red hair and terrifying magma-like skin, spoke with a voice like a great bell echoing across the sky.
“You overpraise us, Senior.”
The Fairy of Rainbow Skirt’s face remained pale—after all, she faced a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But in the next moment, the Crimson Fire Old Monster’s gaze fell directly on Lin Chang’an.
“Killing Origin Sword Art… you are the one who inherited the Blood Fiend legacy?”
Facing that gaze, Lin Chang’an inwardly complained.
“This junior obtained the inheritance of the Blood Fiend True Lord by chance with several fellow Daoists.”
However, recalling the fragmented memories of the Blood Fiend True Lord, he found no connection to this Crimson Fire Old Monster.
After observing him, the Crimson Fire Old Monster sighed:
“Back then, Blood Fiend and I were evenly matched… we explored secret realms together. Yet in just a few hundred years, he has already perished.”
Though sounding emotional, there was a trace of pride in his tone.
In the cultivation world, not only talent and techniques mattered—opportunity was just as important.
At that time, many favored Blood Fiend, yet in the end, he was the one who formed a Nascent Soul.
Now seeing the successor of an old rival, he felt immense satisfaction.
In this world—victors are kings. And he had won!
“Island Lords of Bibo Island greet Senior Crimson Fire.”
At this moment, the Meng Clan Couple, pale-faced and supporting each other, stepped forward and bowed.
The Core Formation cultivators on Fatty Lei’s side immediately showed gloating expressions—they believed victory was certain.
“Senior, these two sold your Bibo Island!”
“Yes! The Young Island Lord tried to uphold justice, but they obstructed him!”
Amid the chaotic accusations, the Crimson Fire Old Monster revealed a strange smile.
Fatty Lei, seeing this, felt his heart pound violently and quietly retreated to the edge.
“Is that so?”
As the Nascent Soul cultivator spoke, the entire scene fell silent.
But the next words changed everything:
“Then why do I remember Lu Turtle promising me a great gift? I even sent my grandson to retrieve it—how did it turn into conflict?”
Boom!
A gift?! True Lord Lu and the Crimson Fire Old Monster had a deal!
Before anyone could react, the Meng Clan Couple pointed directly at Fatty Lei’s group.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry and hand over one-third of your primordial spirit for Senior Crimson Fire to command!”
What?!
Everyone was stunned—especially Fatty Lei’s group.
“So that’s how it is…”
Bibo Island was merely a chessboard for two Nascent Soul True Lords.
Each took what they needed:
True Lord Lu took Bibo Island.
Crimson Fire Old Monster took these Core Formation cultivators.
As a token of allegiance, the Meng Clan Couple had completely sided with True Lord Lu.
“How could this be?!”
Fatty Lei was filled with despair.
“You think this is a joke? Everyone knows the old monster cultivates Crimson Sun Demonic Fire—he needs vast amounts of cultivators’ essence blood!”
“You surnamed Meng—ruthless! You sold Bibo Island to True Lord Lu and us to the Crimson Fire Old Monster!”
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance cultivators were stunned by this reversal.
But those who had survived to Core Formation were not naive.
“Don’t panic! He’s only a possessed body!”
However—
“Haha! It seems I must personally take the gift!”
As his voice fell, Fatty Lei’s group scattered in all directions, turning into escape lights.
But in the next moment—
Screams echoed continuously.
“Spare me, Ancestor!”
“Too late!”
In Lin Chang’an’s Spiritual Eye, red light devoured each Core Formation cultivator, leaving nothing behind.
In mere moments—over a dozen Core Formation cultivators vanished.
The scene left everyone trembling.
Just then—
A dark cloud surged from afar, thunder roaring.
“Heh heh… Crimson Fire Old Monster, still as ravenous as ever.”
It was True Lord Lu.
“Lu Turtle, don’t pretend—don’t think I don’t know Blood Fiend and the others’ deaths are tied to you!”
“Greed kills in this world. If they weren’t greedy, how would they die?”
Finally—
“Lu Turtle, you’re ruthless!”
As the Crimson Fire Old Monster roared, the cultivators of Blazing Fire Island rapidly retreated aboard spirit ships.
Lin Chang’an, hearing all this, was inwardly shaken.
No wonder True Lord Lu hadn’t formed his Nascent Soul in the Beast Sea Abyss—he must have offended too many.
But today also strengthened Lin Chang’an’s resolve—
Below the Nascent Soul Realm, Core Formation cultivators were nothing more than slightly larger ants.
