Chapter 1037: Nothing To Do Except for Commiting Suicide, Holding Funerals and Hunting

If Lu Shu had a good flair and could compose a good poem, he would have been an author. If he could write a best-selling book, he would be to collect enough distress points to allow him to advance to Rank One!

However, unfortunately, he did not have the flair. Therefore, he did not know what to write for the last sentence on the Sword Hut records. He decided to make a rhyme as that was what he could do…

However, that was not the main issue. The main issue was that Lu Shu had already surpa.s.sed the most powerful person who had opened the Sea of Chi and snowy mountain.

Before Lu Shu, n.o.body else was able to create snowy mountains before opening the Sea of Chi. He would probably be the first and only one to do that.

The entire Sword Hut was shocked. All the disciples ran over to look at the words that Lu Shu left behind on the Sword Hut records. That night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Sword Hut. n.o.body would ever write lies on the Sword Hut records but yet, the first person to do so in history had probably appeared.

“Eh, what’s wrong, senior Linshan?” Someone asked concernedly when he saw Tang Linshan stunned silent.

Tang Linshan regained his senses. “I know why he is able to discover the secret of the sword spirit!”

When Tang Linshan said that, the others regained their senses too!

Based on the first half of the poem “There is a snowy mountain in the sea. If I cannot open the Sea of Chi”, Lu Shu was unable to open the Sea of Chi because he was suppressed by the snowy mountain. Therefore, Lu Shu severed the snowy mountain to reopen the Sea of Chi!

How bold was that?!

Because of this boldness, the route of practice for the Sword Hut advanced to a whole new level!

They did not know that Lu Shu did all of that because he was sabotaged!

If he had known that the founder of the Hall of Swords only managed to gather rivers into seas, he would have definitely opened the snowy mountains when he gathered rivers into seas… Perhaps, Lu Shu liked to take it to the extreme.

Perfection was the weakness of a gifted individual. However, Lu Shu was never defeated by it.

Everything had imperfections, including the heavenly law. Many people thought that it was perfect if there was a ten percent imperfection as it was an understandable amount. However, Lu Shu insisted on pursuing for that ten percent.

That was because he was born different from others.

Lu Shu strolled around the palace. He had swallowed the galaxy fruit and was feeling it surge in his body, causing his celestial powers to expand like never before.

However, the fifth level of nebula never opened.

Lu Shu had to face some difficult every single time he opened the next level. When he managed to break through the trap, the second star would become the main star while the other stars would orbit around it.

On top of the main star, the dagger belonging to that level would acc.u.mulate.

And now, the fourth level of nebula did not move an inch. That was because Lu Shu was still unable to find the chance to make a breakthrough.

His swordplay was already at the level of a Rank One but his celestial map did not reach the same level. That was because Lu Shu had always been worried that if his celestial map attained Rank One, he would invite trouble because of the huge movements.

However, Lu Shu was frustrated. He could not contain his anger when he recalled how the Black Feather Army attacked the Heavenly Network!

The prosperity of the palace was beyond imagination. At night the commoners and the aristocrats would stroll along the streets. In the past, people still sat on the boats along the Long Yin River. Now, as the number of people that jumped into the Long Yin River increased, n.o.body sat on the boats anymore…

They stopped sitting on the boats and returned to the city, causing the city to become extremely busy.

The city was bustling with activities.

Children spun their spinning tops in the middle of the road, the bright lanterns s.h.i.+ning on top of them. Women looked at the rouge along the road and wondered if they had enough money to buy a new one this month. To women, the best rouge was the one they had yet to purchase. Those at home were not counted.

However, the bustle died down eventually and people had to go back home eventually. At this moment, there were very few people on the streets of the palace.

As Lu Shu walked, he saw shadows in the dark alley. With a flick of his fingers, Lu Shu was able to send out an invisible beam of sword energy. In the alley, people were taken by surprise and only managed to respond with a low groan.

Today, there were many spies outside the Sword Hut. Those who wanted to walk to the entertainment center where the Western Region’s troop was hiding at was in danger too.

Lu Shu’s swordplay had already reached the level of Rank One and their enemies could easily tell. Now, only people sent by Duanmu Huangqi dared to spy outside the Sword Hut.

The fight between Duanmu Huangqi and the Sword Hut was like a game of chess between two chess players. n.o.body would bet all their a.s.sets and therefore had to continuously test each other.

Meanwhile, Lu Shu did not care what chess setting it was. He would always be the person who turned the chess game over.

In the middle of the night, shadows could be seen in the alley. Everyone looked coldly at Lu Shu who was walking by the limestone bricks.

At the next moment, Lu Shu suddenly became wild and a dagger which was s.h.i.+ning with a green radiance shot out from the dark alley from the left. Just before the dagger could hit Lu Shu’s face, Lu Shu suddenly leaped up and caught the dagger while making a turn. He managed to throw the dagger back in one smooth motion!

When the dagger moved back, it travelled at a speed faster than the approaching speed! The sharp whistle broke the silence and the red pattern expanded out from the alley.

Some villagers looked outside their door to check out what had happened. However, they only managed to see blood oozing out gradually in the dark alley as the blood slowly dripped down from the limestone bricks. They spread out as they flowed along the cracks of the limestone bricks.

Meanwhile, in between the limestone bricks, a crack was seemingly stepped open by someone else.

Lu Shu sprang towards the entertainment center. Along the way, many people died at the part muted section.

Suddenly, a gigantic black net came down above Lu Shu’s head. However, before it could land on his head, the person who spread the net at the top of the house had died from the invisible sword energy.

In the palace, there seemed to be another gigantic net surrounding Lu Shu. People flipped on the rooftop… and those who were close to the limestone bricks would undergo free-fall in the middle of their leap.

The soldiers wearing black armor and black masks were extremely determined and were unafraid of death.

Everyone who Duanmu Huangqi brought over were his underlings.

A small crack was formed on the clouds in the Sword Hut. Gu Lingfei stood behind Jiang Shuyi, looking at the road made of limestone bricks which was stained with blood. Jiang Shuyi said, “The The Thousand Faces of

Dunjia

is indeed amazing. The entertainment center was at the West Nankung Palace. I wanted to say that Duanmu Huangqi had chosen the wrong location and forcefully placed his underlings on the road of death. Many people would die on this journey from the east to the west.”

“Road of death?” Gu Lingfei frowned. “Where did you learn this from, what does the ‘road of death’ mean?”

Jiang Shuyi replied calmly, “The road of death is the most cruel. Apart from commiting suicide, holding funerals and hunting, nothing else could be done.”

“He is really so powerful? Duanmu Huangqi left twelve soldiers at that place,” said Gu Lingfei.

Jiang Shuyi suddenly laughed. “He said, tonight, he would be the knife and they would be the fish.”
