Chapter 179 - 135: Annihilation
This Saint Demon Sect Master is probably going to become the number one expert in all of Song Country.
Becoming the top expert in the Song Country with a cultivation at the Bone Refining Realm! It was incredibly strange, yet it was happening for real.
Just as Hong Zai was about to agree to Cao Gongjun’s desperate plea to flee, he suddenly saw something strange happen to the distant figure in purple!
"Wait!" Hong Zai’s face lit up with excitement.
’As I thought! That strike wasn’t without a cost for the Saint Demon Sect Master!’
After Lu Changfeng unleashed that strike, a gust of wind swept by, and the Profound Iron Long Saber in his hand turned to dust, carried away by the breeze.
The next moment, Lu Changfeng’s right hand—the one that held the saber—BANG! It exploded violently, right up to the shoulder!
The power of that strike was terrifying, but it was also an attack Lu Changfeng could only unleash by pushing his body past its absolute limits.
’Thank god I only used fifty points. It just blew up my arm. If I’d added a few more, my whole body would’ve exploded after that strike. What a senseless way to die that would’ve been.’
’Fuck! This hurts so much! I just want to drop to the ground and roll around in agony!’ Lu Changfeng cursed inwardly.
But at such a critical moment, he couldn’t possibly reveal such a weak side.
First, Lu Changfeng used his left hand to pull another long saber from his Ba Snake Space and grip it firmly.
He did this to show the spies lurking all around that he still had one hand left, and that he could unleash another strike just like the last one.
With the hilt gripped in his hand, Lu Changfeng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On the Observatory Platform, Hong Zai tensed up again when he saw Lu Changfeng take hold of a new long saber.
He wanted to flee the Observatory Platform but felt it would be a disgrace. ’Should I really run in panic from a cripple?’
’But if that bastard unleashes another one of those strikes at me, I might really meet my end here today.’
Meanwhile, although Lu Changfeng wanted to kill Hong Zai on the spot, the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.
Dozens of Rebirth Realm experts were currently watching him, so Lu Changfeng didn’t dare to deactivate his Candle Dragon Bloodline carelessly.
If he did, he could switch to the Ancient Purple Lotus Demon or Ancient Snow Python bloodlines and use their respective Demon Fiend Skills to regenerate his severed limb.
Of course, the regenerated limb would require time and training to return to its former strength, but at least he wouldn’t be stuck as a one-armed Saber Master.
Lu Changfeng was also dividing his attention to control Yang Jingtian in his fight against Grandmaster Ming.
Grandmaster Ming was already on his last legs. After witnessing the old monk get annihilated by Lu Changfeng’s horrifying strike, he was scared out of his wits!
’Can this be the end of the Song Country?’
Grandmaster Ming used a careful burst of Spiritual Power to manipulate the Illusion Sea, creating an opening to pull back and flee toward the Imperial Palace.
Yang Jingtian did not pursue him. Instead, he flew down to Lu Changfeng’s side to recover his depleted Spiritual Power.
Elsewhere, Lingkong, who had witnessed his master’s death, was glaring with such fury it seemed his eyes would burst.
But as the abbot of Yunfo Temple, Lingkong managed to remain rational despite his grief and rage.
He grabbed the Fire Qilin’s tail, swung it in a great arc, and violently flung it away.
He then teleported away, fleeing toward the Imperial Palace. His top priority was to protect Hong Zai!
The Ancient Fire Qilin, having been smashed into a pile of ruins, shook its head as it got up and flew to Lu Changfeng’s side.
Its stamina was also reaching its limit. If the fight had gone on any longer, it might have actually been killed by Lingkong, who possessed the Ancient Purple Gold Divine Dragon Bloodline.
Lu Changfeng leaped onto the Fire Qilin’s back.
Seeing Lu Changfeng’s trio regroup, the surrounding Rebirth Realm experts, who had been itching to make a move, all quelled their ambitions.
Lu Changfeng shot a long look at Hong Zai in the distance.
Meeting that cold gaze, Hong Zai felt his courage falter.
But to his relief, the Qilin shot into the sky, speeding away from the Capital City with the incredibly powerful, White Tiger-masked Saber Master.
