Chapter 46: Kill All!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ma Sixian was not weak. He had reached the Foundation Building Stage a long time ago and was currently a seventh-tier Foundation Building cultivator.

The unaffiliated cultivator behind him was also exceptional. Even though he was only a sixth-tier Foundation Building cultivator and looked like a pauper with the Level Two low-grade pitch-black shortsword in his hand, the evasion technique he cultivated was terrific. He had appeared behind Lu Chaoxi in the blink of an eye.

In front of Lu Chaoxi was the fierce attack of the Cleaving Flame Blade, while the other cultivator had rapidly appeared behind him with a strange evasion technique and launched a surprise attack with his pitch-black shortsword. Lu Chaoxi suddenly faced a dangerous situation.

Activating two Yang-element Lightning Amulets at once had been too much for Lu Chaoxi to bear at once. The spiritual strength he expended was not the problem. After all, those were techniques that he activated through his amulets. However, activating Level Two amulets required using and exhausting their mental energy. Draining such a large amount of mental energy within such a short period posed extreme pressure on his nerves and soul. And this made Lu Chaoxi struggle to catch his breath for the time being.

This would not have been a problem under normal circumstances. He would have recovered if he were given some time to breathe. However, the two opponents he was facing were also highly experienced Foundation Building cultivators. They would not miss such an opportunity.

Lu Chaoxi could only try his best. He controlled his flying sword and battled against Ma Sixian's Cleaving Flame Blade. At the same time, light shone around his body. Two Jade Suppression Plates appeared at the same time. One of the plates defended his rear, while the other protected the area in front of him.

It was not as easy to defend against the Cleaving Flame Blade. Lu Chaoxi's flying sword was sent soaring in an instant. However, the excess damage was absorbed by the Jade Suppression Plate. The surprise attack of the unaffiliated cultivator behind him was unable to penetrate the second Jade Suppression Plate.

This wave of attacks was dangerous. He only managed to defend against it using every means at his disposal. However, his opponents did not stop there. They continued to launch a strong offensive.

Lu Chaoxi desperately recalled his flying sword to deal with the enemies. At the same time, he formed a hand gesture and cast an evasion technique that had been passed down in the clan.

This evasion technique was called the Hundred-Step Divine Movement. It allowed the caster's speed to reach extreme levels within the next hundred steps. It was also useful when he was riding on the flying sword. It was an evasion technique that provided a short burst of speed.

Lu Chaoxi freed himself from the unaffiliated cultivator's surprise attack and the second strike of Ma Sixian's blade using the technique. He even had time to control his flying sword. He got the sword to make a large arc in the air and launch a surprise attack from behind Ma Sixian. Unfortunately, the attack was blocked by his large banner.

Lu Chaoxi did not know what the massive banner, which acted as a piece of defensive magic equipment, was. However, the item would wave whenever its owner was being attacked and create a large area of turbulent spiritual strength. That was what swept Lu Chaoxi's flying sword away.

In actuality, the quality of the large banner was not great. Lu Chaoxi might have had a chance of breaking through the other party's defenses and injuring him if he had a Level Two high-grade flying sword, given that his cultivation level was above that of his opponent's.

Unfortunately, Lu Chaoxi did not have any better items. 1

Ma Sixian was kept busy. The unaffiliated cultivator who had followed behind Lu Chaoxi activated the mysterious evasion technique once again and appeared behind Lu Chaoxi. He stabbed his pitch-black shortsword at Lu Chaoxi a second time.

Lu Chaoxi could only continue to defend himself with the Jade Suppression Plate as he ran.

The Jade Suppression Plate was reputable for being a good piece of defensive magic equipment. However, it was merely a Level One high-grade magic equipment. Even though it had decent value as a Level One magic equipment, its defensive capabilities were still too low for a battle between Foundation Building cultivators.

It had already defended against the surprise attack of the unaffiliated cultivator once. Even though the Jade Suppression Plate managed to defend against the attack a second time, it also shattered in the process.

The unaffiliated cultivator was also fatigued after having used his evasion technique twice in succession. He could not keep up when he saw Lu Chaoxi pull the distance between them apart a second time. All he could do was take out a Fire Whistle from within his robes.

This was a Level One high-grade Fire Whistle. A Foundation Building cultivator could produce intense flames amidst the shrill rings if he blew into the whistle. The flames would cover a large area.

The effects of the Fire Whistle were much more powerful when a Foundation Building cultivator blew into it than if the user were a Qi Refining cultivator. The area of the flames was three to five times larger. No matter how fast the Hundred-Step Divine Movement was, Lu Chaoxi would not be able to escape the area covered by the flames.

Lu Chaoxi could only raise his Jade Suppression Plate again to defend himself. At the same time, he commanded his flying sword to cleave down toward Ma Sixian. He did not expect the attack to hit. All he wanted to do was occupy Ma Sixian and prevent him from seizing the opportunity to attack him.

However, Ma Sixian did not want to let the opportunity slip by. He sliced down with the Cleaving Flame Blade.

This was the most difficult hurdle. The Jade Suppression Plate would not be able to block the blade. All he could do was try his best to avoid the attack using the Hundred-Step Divine Movement.

The authoritative Cleaving Flame Blade chased after Lu Chaoxi relentlessly.

The burst of speed brought about by the Hundred-Step Divine Movement was fast, but it could not match the flying speed of a piece of magic equipment.

Within the blazing flames, Lu Chaoxi could only frequently change the direction of his movements and avoid the attacks using his agility.

The entire area had been covered by the flames that the unaffiliated cultivator had produced by continually blowing into the Fire Whistle. The raging mountain flames dyed the bright sky red.

Amidst the raging mountain flames, a human figure was rapidly darting from side to side under the protection of a green jade plate. He brought along waves of fire wherever he went. Beside him, an infernal blade that looked jarring even among the sea of fire was hot in pursuit. The blade cleaved down furiously from time to time and brought with it a searing wave of flames. However, the figure managed to avoid the attack time and time again, narrowly.

Ma Sixian could not help but let out a murderous gaze when he saw his attacks miss time after time. Let's see how long you can sustain this burst of speed!

However, he suddenly raised his head at this moment. He saw a woman heading toward them on a flying sword.

It was Lu Mingchao who had returned. He had neglected Lu Ranting entirely who was running on foot farther away from where they were.

While a ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivator was powerful, they were not worth mentioning in front of the Foundation Building cultivators.

His expression sank.

He knew that he had fallen for an ambush when Lu Chaoxi suddenly showed himself and killed a Foundation Building unaffiliated cultivator with two bolts of lightning. The person who ambushed them was not the expected Lu Chaohe, but Lu Chaoxi, who had miraculously recovered to his peak condition.

After a cultivator died before the battle broke out, Ma Sixian knew that he had to go all out. Thus, he had wanted to team up with the other unaffiliated cultivator to kill Lu Chaoxi before Lu Mingchao came back.

However, he underestimated Lu Chaoxi and overestimated himself.

Now that it was two against two, the outcome of the battle was hard to predict.

Lu Mingchao did not hold back when she arrived. She, who was floating in the air on a flying sword, extended an arm and activated the Broken Yin Water Rope with the Water Binding Incantation to restrain Ma Sixian.

The large banner moved but was unable to sweep the spirit-blue, ropelike magic equipment away.

The Broken Yin Water Rope seized the opportunity and tangled itself around the massive banner. Lu Mingchao then activated her spiritual strength and attempted to pull the large banner away from Ma Sixian.

It was hard for her as a fifth-tier Foundation Building cultivator to accomplish that. However, she had layered the Water Binding Incantation onto the Broken Yin Water Rope. The purpose of the technique was to restrain and capture. The Broken Yin Water Rope perfectly complemented it.

Ma Sixian had not been too worried. However, he nearly lost control of his magic equipment while he struggled against Lu Mingchao.

The shocked Ma Sixian could not pay attention to pursuing Lu Chaoxi with his Cleaving Flame Blade. He was forced to wrestle for control over his massive banner against Lu Mingchao with all his might.

Lu Mingchao seized the opportunity and flicked her finger. The Cloud-Gathering Poison Conversion Cup appeared in her hands. Her Cloud Fog Technique was converted into a highly corrosive poison mist and spread toward Ma Sixian.

Her eyes reflected her fury. I'll kill all who go against the Lu Clan!
