Chapter 308
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qing Ming City.
In the ruins.
A young man walked around the ruins with a sword in his stomach…
Well…
That was right.
It was Lu Ming.
Buzz—
The Sword Embryo shook.
Lu Ming walked around without any expression on his face.
He was not in a good mood. In fact, no one who had just been stabbed would be in a good mood.
Especially… if they were stabbed by their sister's Sword Embryo…
Buzz—
The Sword Embryo shook.
Lu Ming changed his direction once again.
Yes.
d.a.m.n! This thing functioned like a gps!
In order to find his way through the perilous ruins and to leave as soon as possible, he had to become one with the Sword Embryo.
Shus.h.!.+
Shus.h.!.+
Lu Ming hurried forward with the directions given by the Sword Embryo.
Once in a while, a beast would walk past and they would avoid it quietly. At times, there would be so-called divine weapons or they would pa.s.s by some other cultivators who were in a fight. They would avoid them as well.
Their first priority was to leave.
However…
After walking for a short while, Lu Ming suddenly halted in his tracks.
A distance away.
Some debris blocked his path.
Bang!
Bang!
There were loud booming sounds coming from it. People were fighting.
“Be careful.”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
“Okay,” Xiaobai said though she looked excited.
“Fine…”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
He felt that this young girl seemed to be too proud of herself recently…
Shus.h.!.+
They went into the ruins quietly and discovered that a group of cultivators were fighting. As the six-star and peak five-star cultivators had been possessed, the remaining cultivators were beginner and intermediate five-stars.
In the center of them all was a bright and s.h.i.+ning divine weapon quietly lying in the middle.
“They are fighting over the divine weapon…”
Lu Ming realized something.
Very few people used weapons. That was not to say that weapons were useless. It was just that ordinary weapons were not as powerful as vocation cores!
However, if they were divine weapons, the combination of the vocation core and the divine weapon would increase one's ability!
“Master?”
Xiaobai looked toward Lu Ming.
“Let's ignore them.”
Lu Ming swept his gaze over them.
Although he was interested in a divine weapon as well, since it was very valuable, he would attract attention if he fought for the divine weapon. It was better not to get involved.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai followed Lu Ming closely.
They quickly left.
Those people cast them a glance. Seeing that Lu Ming did not interfere, they could not be bothered with him.
However…
Just when Lu Ming was leaving, one cultivator swept his gaze over him and suddenly spoke up. “Is the sword on that guy a divine weapon as well?”
Shus.h.!.+
The group turned silent and everyone looked toward the sword on Lu Ming's stomach.
“The sword seems very unusual.”
“Indeed.”
“I think that my spirit consciousness cannot sense it thoroughly.”
Hence, the group ignored the divine weapon around them and dashed toward Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Brother, what was with your expression?
This is a Sword Embryo!
Can't all of you recognize a Sword Embryo?
“Hey brother, take a closer look. This is a Sword Embryo.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“A pack of lies!”
The cultivator did not believe him. “You aren't a Swordsman, why do you have a Sword Embryo?”
“This is my sister's,” Lu Ming said earnestly.
“Are you helping your sister nourish her embryo?”
The cultivator sneered.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Why does this sound so odd?
“Lu Ming!
“I know that you are a Card Creator and the young lady next to you is a Card Creator as well. There are no Swordsmen here. Where is the Sword Embryo from?”
The cultivator focused his gaze on them.
“Hand over the sword right now and I will spare your life on account of your sister. Otherwise…”
Shus.h.!.+
Cold lights flashed.
They closed in on Lu Ming.
A—alright.
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
He always thought that his enemies were the Spiritualists and the police. He never expected that the cultivators who were victims of his sister would gang up against him…
Why did they have to do that?
Shus.h.!.+
Lu Ming took out his cards.
“Are you thinking of attacking?”
The cultivator smiled.
Interesting.
“I know that you are a genius and your combat abilities are comparable to a beginner five-star. However, have you forgotten that all of us have the combat abilities to fight beyond our levels as well…
“Furthermore…
“The person next to you is a burden for you!”
He smiled faintly.
Shus.h.!.+
Cold lights flashed.
A figure flew past them and charged toward Xiaobai.
“How dare you!”
There was a cold glint in Lu Ming's eyes.
He was about to attack when he saw that Xiaobai was faster than him and he paused…
Oh.
Xiaobai was a four-star as well.
She could use the four-star cards that he left for her…
“Young lady, come on…”
The person charged forward with a cold glint in his eyes. The young lady in front of him who had had a fright, opened her school bag hurriedly and there seemed to be a stack of cards inside…
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
b.a.l.l.s of lights burst.
Moonlight landed!
It cut through the figure that was in front of Xiaobai!
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Sword Auras burst forth, cras.h.i.+ng on them. Some of them were straight while some made a curve and some fell from the sky…
The cultivator was stunned on the spot.
This…
This was not a normal way to combat!
Furthermore…
Not only that, but there was also a group of energy bulls charging from a distance…
Click!
Click!
There were many cracks on the ground.
Qing Ming City, which had been through the self-destruction of the Restart Array and was very weak, began to shake after the many cards that Xiaobai hurled…
“Lady!
“Stop right now!”
The few cultivators were in a shock.
d.a.m.n it!
It was a pity that there was no way to retract the cards that she threw…
Bang!
Bang!
The herds of bulls trampled the place.
“Maniac!
“You'll get yourself killed!”
The cultivators roared in anger.
However…
They could only watch helplessly as the ground shook and the remaining wreckage of the building collapsed once again. There was a bottomless pit on the ground…
Bang!
Bang!
The ruins collapsed further, burying them underneath.
The cultivators were dumbstruck.
They instinctively looked toward Xiaobai and noticed that there was a flash of light under her feet and she flew into the air with it. They turned to look at Lu Ming and realized that it was the same with him!
d.a.m.n!
Why… could Card Creators fly?
Bang!
The debris came cras.h.i.+ng on them.
They were sent flying into the pit in the ground…
Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+
Lights flickered in the distance.
Those who heard the commotion came rus.h.i.+ng over, wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h the divine weapons. They saw the cracks in the ground as well as the young lady's bag that was full of cards and they turned silent.
“I hope they won't die.”
“I don't think so. Even if they didn't cultivate their bodies, they are five-stars. They should be able to crawl out from underneath…”
“However, the hole in the ground seems very deep.”
“This should be due to the explosion caused by the Restart Array. It is connected to the underground tunnels… Now that it went through another round of explosions caused by the young lady, it turned out to be like this.”
“It looks miserable.”
Everyone felt fear and trepidation.
They had no idea whether the people who were buried underneath could come out alive!
Afterward…
They looked at each other and felt guilty. There were many divine weapons in the ruins. Why did they fight with two maniacs? They could not afford to offend them…
Hence…
They left on the spot.
Shus.h.!.+
The world fell silent.
Lu Ming was silent.
This was after all Xiaobai's first outdoor fight…
Well…
It was okay.
“Not bad.”
Xiao-Xiaojian surveyed the surroundings. “Apart from having the same bad habit as someone else, this isn't too bad. It is better if you take note of the surroundings next time.”
Lu Ming looked around and remained silent.
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming suddenly called Xiaobai over.
“Master, I am in the wrong.”
Xiaobai lowered her head and clutched a corner of her dress, feeling guilty. She did not expect that it would turn out like this…
“Did you learn your lesson?” Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai nodded obediently.
“Remember!
“When in danger in the future, run to my side,” Lu Ming instructed.
“Huh?”
Xiaobai looked dazed. She thought that her master was referring to her using many cards…
“Remember.”
Lu Ming looked serious. “Some cards have a longer reaction time and they might not be released immediately! For example, the energy bulls will be delayed. Therefore, when in danger, it is most important for you to protect yourself. Do you understand?
“Hmm…”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment before he threw Xiao-Xiaojian to Xiaobai again.
“When in danger, just throw it.
“It has a thick skin and can suffer blows!” Lu Ming said.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
“Master, what about you?”
Xiaobai was worried.
“I am alright!”
Lu Ming waved his hands. “When in danger, I can summon it anytime to block danger.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai nodded obediently.
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
c.r.a.p!
It was an Original Card!
Since when could a vocation core be pa.s.sed around and withstand damages?!
It was a pity…
No one paid attention to it.
Lu Ming looked at the ruins in front of him. He looked around, digging for the divine weapon that they had been fighting over. Hmm… it was good and worth using the cards for.
“We should leave.”
Lu Ming sensed that something was amiss.
From time to time, booming noises could be heard nearby.
This location…
It seemed to be somewhere near the Divine Weapon Pavilion!
“Let's go!”
They followed Xiaolan's instructions to leave.
On the way, some cultivators saw Lu Ming and Xiaobai, who was carrying a school bag on her back, and had the tacit understanding to ignore them.
There was no other choice.
The young lady had made a grand appearance just now…
Other cultivators would only demolish houses, but the young lady tore down the whole place…
They heard that…
Someone witnessed that after tearing down the place, the young lady buried people alive while she flew away…
W-who could take it?
Besides, they were in the Divine Weapon Pavilion ruins. There were many divine weapons. Since Lu Ming liked the sword that was piercing through his stomach, they would give it to him.
Lu Ming was not disturbed along the way.
“Am I so frightening and mighty now!?” Lu Ming exclaimed.
“Of course.”
Xiaobai felt proud of her master. “Master, you are very powerful.”
“It seems that they are all looking at you.”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“No! No!”
Xiaobai waved her hands. “Master, they are looking at you.”
Xiao-Xiaojian remained silent at the master and disciple who heaped praises on each other.
d.a.m.n it.
They are too shameless!
Hence…
They walked past the Divine Weapon Pavilion safely. However, after they left the Divine Weapon Pavilion and walked past another area, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The person quietly blocked Lu Ming's way.
“Spiritualist…”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“The two of you…
Although the pavilion master died, the legacy must have been left behind in your Sea of Consciousness. For the integrity of the Breeze Pavilion, the two of you have to come with me,” the person said coldly.
“Just you?”
Lu Ming was surprised. “I thought the other person would personally come.”
“He has other matters to attend to.”
The person took a step forward.
Bang!
Powerful auras dissipated.
A beginner six-star!
A Spiritualist!
He had converted successfully!
“Surrender. You can't beat me,” the person said coldly.
“I know.”
Lu Ming glanced at him.
He was merely a beginner four-star!
Besides being a beginner six-star, that person was also a Spiritualist. There was no way to defeat him. His combat abilities might be at the intermediate six-star or advanced six-star level!
Therefore…
There was only one way out.
“Xiaobai.”
“Huh?”
“Bury him.”
“Okay.”
Shus.h.!.+
Xiaobai threw a heap of cards from her school bag at him…
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Loud sounds could be heard.
The area completely collapsed.
Many horrifying cracks formed in the ground, accompanied by a violent shock. The six-star cultivator who was there to capture Lu Ming was dumbstruck…
He tried to fight back.
Bang!
The ground underneath cracked at a faster speed.
If he did not retaliate… he would die!
Click!
Click!
The images of the catastrophe seemed to unfold before him.
He was full of despair.
The Spiritualists might be powerful, but they were similar to the Elementalists. They did not cultivate their physical fitness… It was impossible to fly out from here… Although there was a separate flying ability…
It was a pity…
As a Water Fire Elementalist, he had not mastered that…
Bang!
Bang!
The ground underneath him cracked.
He lost his balance.
“Lu Ming!
“You won't be able to escape!
“Don't forget that we are the ones who built the Restart Array… You might be able to trap us here, but it is meaningless. When we are out… You will die!”
The man yelled.
Bang!
The ground completely collapsed.
He tried several times to change his position with the power of the elements. However, it was a pity that the area that had collapsed was too extensive. He could stand nowhere !
He could only summon all his strength to use the elements to defend himself!
Afterward…
He fell into the cracks and was buried by the debris.
Buzz—
Faint elements shone.
His powerful abilities formed a defensive circle.
Given his abilities, even if he fell into the debris, he could keep himself safe! A threat at this level was unable to cause him any harm!
However…
He suddenly felt confused. Could it be that after a thousand years, teenagers were so unrestrained in their way of combat?
At this very moment…
Somewhere.
A group of people were fighting over a divine weapon.
Someone managed to get the divine weapon but he had yet to rejoice when he was hacked to pieces by someone else. There were already three to four bodies around the divine weapon…
Pfft!
Pfft!
Blood splattered.
In the end…
There were only two people remaining.
“Do you really want to fight against me?!”
The cultivator sighed. “There are many divine weapons here. Why must you fight with me?”
“Hey, do you take me for a fool?”
The other person sneered. “This divine weapon is obviously different from the rest. Do you think that I cannot tell? With this, I can leave right now!”
The two of them were in a confrontation.
However, at this moment, there was a faint glow on the divine weapon.
Both of them looked toward the divine weapon and realized that a teenager who was around sixteen to seventeen years old silently crept towards it and held on to the divine weapon!
His ability was merely a… peak three-star?!!
“You are courting death!”
They cast a cold gaze at the teenager.
Many people had tried to do what he did just now and had died.
Hehe.
Didn't he see that the ground was littered with bodies?
Furthermore…
He was merely a peak three-star.
However…
Right then, the divine weapon in the cold and indifferent teenager's hands dazzled with brightness and was directed at them.
“Haha.”
The two of them sneered.
The divine weapon was a longbow. It glowed with lights and had extraordinary powers. However, no matter how powerful the bow was, he did not have any arrows to shoot with!
Buzz—
The teenager drew the longbow fully and mouthed two words. “Nine-star!”
Swoos.h.!.+
Cold lights flashed.
A strange energy swung over the longbow. Something terrifying seemed to be brewing in the longbow. It burst forth when the teenager released the bow.
Pfft!
A void tore open.
One of the cultivators who mocked him just now froze and he lowered his head in disbelief.
At his chest…
There was a gaping hole of blood.
“How could this… be possible…”
Bang!
He dropped to the ground.
Over at his side.
The cultivator who was fighting with him turned cold and he stared at the teenager in shock. What the h.e.l.l happened just now?!
“You…
“Are you possessed by the divine weapon?”
The cultivator was horrified.
However…
The teenager merely smiled.
He lifted his hand.
He drew the bow once again.
Swoos.h.!.+
Blood spurted.
