At the Energy Warriors a.s.sociation.
The vice president could no longer sit still in front of this scene.
The power…
Oh.
It turns out that he killed all of them instantly?!
What was the point in lying just now?!
Was he bullying them?
He was breaking down a little emotionally.
It was true.
He suddenly felt that his biggest mistake was giving a place in the Illusory Realm to Lu Ming in order to save money. Lu Ming had scammed the entire batch of cultivators…
When Lu Yan had come, all of them knew that she was talented and tried their best to avoid her. Even if they were killed, they could accept it…
But Lu Ming…
He used his intelligence to humiliate them…
He then used his cards to bully them.
Finally…
When they used all their means and exhausted ways to defeat him, he would then tell them that he could kill them even without any cards.
d.a.m.n!
He was too much of a bully!
Since he was that powerful, he should wipe all of them out. Why did he pretend to be weak?
“Hurry!
“I want to know what the other cultivators are doing!”
The vice president suddenly thought of something.
Shus.h.!.+
The vice president was shown the condition of the geniuses who were dead. The vice president could only see despair, a dazed look and skepticism on their faces…
The vice president's hands trembled slightly.
d.a.m.n!
This batch of geniuses might be done for…
At this very moment…
In the Illusory Realm.
Amid the blood-filled scene.
Zhao Yunshan's pupils constricted. He only had eyes for the golden glow. The lightning traces of the golden flash was etched in the depths of his soul!
In his heart.
The small flame that had been doused out for many years was suddenly ignited.
That move…
That card…
Zhao Yunshan was mesmerized.
He had seen some videos that the netizens had secretly taken and he saw the battle at Zi Yang Combat College as well as the moves Senior sister used…
However…
That was merely the Original Card + mental strength. It was a simple integration. Although it was launched toward her opponent and was pretty powerful, this was the foundation of a Swordsman!
But this move…
It was too powerful!
He saw the explosion of the mental strength, he saw the vibration of the Original Card, he saw the mysterious golden lights and he saw the alarming speed…
Both of them were peak three-stars, but he could not tell the speed of the Original Card!
Both of them were peak three-stars, but he had no way to retaliate!
This ability…
Was this invented by Lu Ming?
That was right.
Lu Ming was the one who came up with the Sword Card Master vocation, he must be the one who invented this ability as well!
It turned out that…
Lu Ming was a true genius!
It turned out that…
Lu Ming was that powerful!
Hence beneath the blood-filled sky,
While various cultivators were exploding, he walked toward Lu Ming. Initially, he looked troubled, then there was hesitation and finally a solemn look on his face.
Lu Ming had a grave expression on his face.
Could it be that Old Zhao recognized this move?!
This was Lightning Slas.h.!.+
Although he had modified it, it was still the first move in the Lunar Shadow legacy! Lu Ming bluffed Zhao Yunshan, Gao Tianlang, and other geniuses to get this ability!
If he recognized it…
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
At this very moment…
Zhao Yunshan took big strides and Lu Ming was on alert!
Bang!
Zhao Yunshan knelt before Lu Ming.
“Master, please impart this move to me!”
Zhao Yunshan's gaze was burning.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Oh.
Old Zhao did not recognize it.
Cough, cough.
Lu Ming coughed and there was an indifferent look on his face. “I will naturally impart this move to you after you grasp the foundations.”
“Yes.”
Zhao Yunshan was respectful. “Master, what is the name of this move?”
“Lightning Slas.h.!.+”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Nice name!”
Zhao Yunshan sang praises of the name.
He had to learn that ability!
Even when he was a five-star swordsman and he had learned many abilities, he had never seen abilities as domineering and cool as Lightning Slas.h.!.+
It was already very powerful when a three-star used it, notwithstanding a five-star…
He was thrilled just thinking of it.
If he had mastered this before, he would have done better in the Lunar Shadow legacy! He would not have almost lost his life on the island after leaving the legacy!
“Master, I will leave first.”
Zhao Yunshan left after saying his goodbyes.
His ident.i.ty would be exposed if he lingered.
Hence…
He left right then.
Lu Ming smiled and watched him leave.
He stood straight with his chest puffed, his gaze deep…
“h.e.l.lo.
“There's no one else left, stop fronting.”
The Original Card burst with lights.
“Aren't you tired of maintaining this posture?”
“Wait a minute.”
Lu Ming said slowly, “I have depleted all my cards, energy and mental strength. I moved too quickly just now and my waist is strained. Let me take my time…”
The Original Card was silent.
Amazing!
“Now, I will have to rely on you.”
Lu Ming's voice was low.
He was left with no energy.
This time…
He had depleted all his resources!
He even depleted his powerful mental strength. It would take a long time to recover!
There was no choice.
Lightning Slash was the first move in the Lunar Shadow legacy. Although it was very powerful, it was just as consuming. It would consume all his energy…
Therefore, Lu Ming never used it.
Whenever he used it, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out…
He felt weak all over!
Buzz—
Buzz—
He used all his remaining Energy Cards so that some energy could be recovered. However, his mental strength could only recover with time.
Lightning Slash…
He could only use it once!
“Things may be worrisome for the next one hour.”
Lu Ming pondered the situation deeply in his heart.
He had already tried his best to delay the time!
From the appearance of the cultivation bulls to everyone running all over the place for their lives, to the moonlight explosions and using Lightning Slash at the last moment… each time he tried to delay as much time as possible!
Even so, there was still an hour left!
One hour…
Lu Ming sighed.
He had tried the Bulls Cards and the Demolition Cards quietly. It did not have much impact here. There were not many bulls-like beasts remaining as well.
This time…
He was really left with no cards to use.
From now on.
He had to rely simply on his combat skills.
Well…
He could not use his mental strength.
Lu Ming reckoned that he could be considered to have reached a four-star. Although that was already very powerful, he had no hope in front of this group of geniuses!
He would have a difficult time during this last hour.
That was what Lu Ming had in mind.
“We shouldn't stay here anymore,” the Original Card suggested. “They will come looking for you soon.”
“Understood.”
Lu Ming left hurriedly.
He was used to escaping these past few hours.
However, he was speechless at the fact that he had barely started moving when he saw a few resurrected cultivators near the mountain…
Indeed.
He was unlucky!
Why would he run into them that quickly?
That the other party was probably resurrected in the vicinity.
Moreover, from Lu Ming's observation, there were two Energy Warriors and a sponsored Elementalist!
The formation was perfect!
If the three of them fought against him, he would have no hope of surviving.
However…
Just when Lu Ming was getting ready to leave…
Shus.h.!.+
Lights and shadows flashed.
The three of them glanced at each other and escaped…
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
d.a.m.n!
What were they up to?
At this very moment…
The three of them who left were terrified.
“This is too much!”
“How can he block the resurrection point?”
“He is truly detestable and he has a bad personality!”
They were full of resentment.
However, they could only stifle their resentment, because…
They could not defeat him!
Lu Ming was too strong!
He was at an outrageously powerful level!
How could they possibly defeat him?
Initially, they thought that Lu Ming would be weakened after using the ability. However, Lu Ming chased them all the way to the resurrection place!
Furthermore…
His energy seemed to be full!
Oh.
That was right.
He had stocked up on many Energy Cards. Although he was left with only a few cards, it was still enough for Lu Ming, a peak three-star to use a few times.
How could they fight him?
They should escape!
“Should we still meet the rest?” someone said.
The Slay Lu Ming Alliance had been completely wiped out. What was the point in meeting?
“Let's go and find them.”
One person sighed.
There was a matter that gnawed at their minds.
Hence…
The Slay Lu Ming Alliance once again gathered in one part of the Illusory Realm.
However… This time, all of them looked grave.
“This is my fault.”
Zhao Yunshan took the initiative to be the scapegoat.
“We can't blame you.”
Ye Liang looked crestfallen. “He can kill thirty people instantly with ease. All of us have seen it, that was simply… another level!” he said bitterly.
“Don't give up,” one cultivator said, “That might be his hidden trump card. All of us have trump cards that can release one's potential at the crucial moment. Lu Ming might be in a weakened state right now.”
“Impossible.”
The three people who just joined them sighed. “We were just resurrected and were chased by Lu Ming!”
“Huh?”
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Chased by… Lu Ming…
“Yes.”
The three smiled bitterly. “Lu Ming charged at the place where we resurrected and he was full of energy. If we were not fast enough, we might…”
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Ming! Lu Ming was arrogant to that extent?!
“He has no need to hide his strength anymore.”
“I understand now!”
Ye Liang suddenly said, “I understand all of it now! Lu Ming used the cultivation bulls and Moonlight Cards to trick us!
“His real abilities are far above us!
“Since this is the case…
“Why did he pretend to be weak and that he was being chased?
“This is due to the energy!
“Think about it. If we had known that Lu Ming was very powerful, we would definitely have run away from him. I reckon that he would have caught fewer people!
“But…
“As he pretended to be weak, we ran all over to chase him down and this instead gave him additional energy!
“And right now…
“This is the last hour.
“Lu Ming's real abilities have been exposed. There is no longer any need for him to cover them up. Therefore, he goes around chasing us down to acc.u.mulate more energy!
“All this is to maximize the benefits!
“This man… He is too scheming!”
Shus.h.!.+
The geniuses looked at each other and there was fear in their eyes.
It turned out that…
This was Lu Ming's real goal!
“But what does he want that much energy for?”
The geniuses could not understand.
Energy was used for breaking through.
It was good enough to have sufficient energy.
Didn't everyone join the Illusory Realm to gain experience? After all, geniuses were generally young and inexperienced. They could gain experience over here!
Why would they need that much energy?
“Perhaps to break the record.”
One person suddenly thought of it. “Talented geniuses always want to be unparalleled in both ancient and modern times. Didn't you notice that Lu Ming's energy record has already broken the record?”
Record…
Everyone looked at it and was shocked.
Yes.
They had no idea when Lu Ming's energy had increased to such an astounding level. He had broken the strongest record in the Illusory Realm so far…
His energy level was far beyond it!
“If I am not wrong…”
Ye Liang looked listless. “In order to maintain the record and ensure that no one will break it in the future, Lu Ming will definitely chase us down to gain more energy!
“So…
“We must escape!
“We must never run into Lu Ming!
“We… can lose or die, but we must never be his stepping stones!”
Ye Liang said tragically.
Join forces?
It was pointless.
Their strong squad of thirty men could not even handle one move of his. If they were caught alone, they would have no chance of living. Therefore…
They could only escape!
They had to spread out and flee!
They had to run as far as they could!
The geniuses were silent.
They never thought that there would be a day where they would become cannon fodder… And they were working hard on not becoming cannon fodder… It was too miserable!
It turned out that…
Lu Ming was the only person that could truly be considered as a genius.
“However…
“If our goal is to not let Lu Ming gain more resources, actually I have a way…”
“What is it?”
“Come, listen to me.”
At this very moment…
Lu Ming had left his original place.
In order not to be found, he was very careful in avoiding the geniuses. However, it was inevitable that he ran into two people
“Prepare to take action.”
He instructed the Original Card.
“Understood.”
The Original Card glowed.
Since his mental strength could not be used, it had to fight head-on!
However…
Just when Lu Ming was about to strike…
Pfft!
The two people had made a decisive move by punching each other, killing each other. They exploded and disappeared in front of Lu Ming.
Huh?!
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
What the h.e.l.l was this?
This was shocking!
Could it be that these children had turned stupid from the beatings?
Lu Ming was in a trance.
However…
Very soon…
He ran into another two people and was surprised to find that before he made a move, the two of them had launched an attack and killed each other. They exploded and disappeared…
Bloom!
Bloom!
There were explosions all over the place!
Whenever Lu Ming ran into cultivators, there would be explosions.
This time, they did not even perform their usual act but exploded directly…
Lu Ming was dumbstruck. He took a long time to recover.
This situation…
Could it be Old Zhao's doing again?!
This was not logical!
The geniuses were no fools. They would not keep falling for Old Zhao's lies. However, Lu Ming thought differently during the remaining hour…
The counterattack that he was worried about did not happen.
At this moment…
He seemed like the big devil king. Whenever he went, there would be explosions!
“Hey, brother, don't run.”
Lu Ming saw two people.
Bang!
The two of them exploded.
Lu Ming was speechless.
“I have something to say.”
Lu Ming was about to say something.
Bang!
The two of them exploded.
Lu Ming was speechless.
What the h.e.l.l was this?
Lu Ming was a little puzzled.
Had he gone crazy or was this world crazy?
Hence…
He simply roamed around the world and he discovered to his surprise that whenever he met anyone, they would explode and left him with no chance at all!
The most amazing thing was…
Lu Ming tried to stop someone from killing himself. But the person seemed to be very pleased with himself. His eyes seemed to be saying that ‘hahahaha, he must not have dreamed that I would kill myself'!
Lu Ming was confused.
What are these children thinking?!
Obviously…
He would never find out that they had come to the wrong conclusion due to the Lightning Slash…
In the end…
The tough hour that Lu Ming had expected to spend was over!
At such a stage…
It should be the final battle where everyone was being very compet.i.tive. However, it was a harmonious time where people exploded silently.
