Chapter 152: The Calamity of Humans and the Azure

Just as the king of the Third Jiajiao race was hiding while clutching the core of the biological weapon.

At this moment above Wang Cheng, many figures leaped into the air, charging fearlessly toward Zhang Yunlu.

Even some young Third Jiajiao had colorful light flooding their eyes; with nothing but greed in their hearts, they scrambled to pick up stones and handy objects from the ground, hurling them skyward.

Such massive casualties coupled with such fierce fighting will was simply inconceivable.

Zhang Yunlu's expression remained unchanged; while swinging her sword to slay the Third Jiajiao, she also carefully guarded against the rays from the biological weapon core and those arrows capable of injuring her.

However, to her surprise, after waiting for more than half a minute, the biological weapon core did not rise as it had in previous instances.

Another ambush?

Zhang Yunlu grew even more cautious, silently expanding her divine sense outward.

Roars clamored chaotically as iron chains bearing sharp hooks were constantly thrown upward, attempting to hook her down, yet she nimbly dodged them all.

Three minutes later, most of the Third Jiajiao who had initially leaped up to charge at her had been slain by her; the sky seemed to rain blood, with severed limbs and organs constantly falling.

Yet Zhang Yunlu frowned tightly; killing more of these ordinary alien races was useless—the most critical targets remained that alien king and the biological weapon core.

It was just... her divine sense had been searching the surroundings, but she found nothing.

Could it not be an ambush?

But rather that they had gone into hiding?

Her divine sense continued extending until it reached the royal palace.

The main structure of the palace was built primarily from rare crimson sandstone found on this planet, carved roughly yet possessing magnificent momentum; several Third Jiajiao clad in luxurious robes, presumably of high status, scurried about like headless flies.

Moving further inward, several giant biological weapon snakes glided beneath the Wang Zuo.

Roar! A furious bellow erupted, and her divine sense seemed to strike a wall, unable to advance any further.

That must be the place! Zhang Yunlu felt reassured in her heart.

Charge straight through! Hum! Sword light resembling a blood-red crescent moon swept outward, instantly dividing into dozens of strands that wiped out every Third Jiajiao standing in her path.

This was the technique of Sword Light Division!

Feeling her true essence rapidly depleting within her body, she took out a pill, swallowed it, and then swiftly charged out of the encirclement.

"This human's target is the King! Protect the King!"

"Seize her!"

The remaining Third Jiajiao showed not a shred of fear in their eyes; greed and rage burned within their consciousness.

Boom! As if a meteor had struck the earth, she directly pierced through the thick dome of the royal palace.

Several gliding giant biological weapon snakes, upon seeing Zhang Yunlu, emitted roars like lions and tigers before snapping their jaws at her.

Roar! Blood-filled maws carried a stench of fishy wind.

Swish! Swish!

The crystal-clear ice-blue sword body flashed and vanished; several strands of blood-red sword light directly split apart the charging biological weapon giant snakes.

One strand of sword light even directly cleaved the Wang Zuo at the very top in two, revealing a pitch-black passage beneath it.

Found it! Zhang Yunlu's form resembled a startled goose, diving straight into the passage.

Suddenly, everything before her eyes darkened, causing her to instinctively release her divine sense.

Yet the next second, a scorching ray shot straight toward her face; the terrifying high temperature made her feel her face burn.

Without hesitation, she leaned backward, dodging that terrifying high-heat ray.

"I let you slaughter my people; is that still not enough to vent your anger!" A cold voice echoed within the passage, yet upon listening closely, one could detect the frustration contained within.

This alien king could speak the human language?

Puff! Puff! Puff! As torches on both sides ignited.

Within the vast space, murals depicting ancient deities and imperial hunts from Third Jiajiao mythology adorned the walls on both sides. At the very front, atop a Wang Zuo identical to the one outside, sat the tall Third Jiajiao king, holding a polyhedron emitting strange light in one hand while his other sleeve hung empty and loose.

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Zhang Yunlu straightened up and looked at him. "My mission target has always been only you."

The mission has always been myself? "Arrogant!" The Third Jiajiao king's face twisted ferociously. "If your human race had not suppressed me with despicable methods, I could crush an ant like you with a single finger!"

Overwhelming fury burned within his heart.

The suppression was not targeted at living beings alone, but at everything; all the methods he had previously established and all his preparations had been suppressed!

However, he was not foolish enough to believe this suppression was truly some punishment from the Holy Race.

This was absolutely a despicable tactic of the human race! Zhang Yunlu's expression remained cold as her hand gripping the sword tightened slightly.

The Third Jiajiao king's expression changed: "Halt! I, the King, command you to halt!"

He knew all too well how terrifying this human was.

This was combat power that should not exist at the Lie Lu level!

His current self absolutely could not block her.

Yet Zhang Yunlu would not stop because of his words; in merely an instant, the tip of her ice-crystal sword had already arrived before his eyes.

Piercing cold air and a stabbing pain in his brow caused his pupils to contract sharply.

At the very moment the sword tip was about to pierce through his skull, the Third Jiajiao king mobilized all his power and injected it into the biological weapon core held in his hand.

Ever since entering, he had noticed this human deliberately or inadvertently glancing at the sacred artifact in his hand!

"I, the King, will never let you obtain it!" A voice full of resentment and poison rang out.

Even though his skull was pierced, his powerful vitality still allowed him to finish speaking these words.

Countless tiny sword qi erupted, causing the alien king's entire head to explode like a watermelon.

Yet the biological weapon core held in his hand suddenly emitted a burst of intense light, then shot outward like a streak of flowing light.

Zhang Yunlu's expression shifted slightly; she raised her hand and unleashed the technique of Sword Light Division, sending dense clusters of blood-red crescent moon sword light charging toward that streak of light, but ultimately she was still one step too slow.

The streak of light burst out of the passage and rapidly flew toward the horizon.

Its speed was so great that it was nearly comparable to Zhang Yunlu flying at full speed on her sword.

…………

At the same time, beneath a cliff face, a red-haired member of the Cang Clan looked up toward the horizon.

"Just as expected."

He could sense that the return protocol had been triggered in the bio-weapon core bestowed upon this star-clan group.

According to the programmed protocol, it would return to the nearest Cang Clan member—namely, to his own hand.

"The Sword Reverent's fierce sword-Dao traction—truly formidable," he could not help but sigh.

"This is my tribulation, and hers as well."

Even if he were to discard the bio-weapon core from here on, that human clan's Fortune Foundation Establishment cultivator would still find his way to him through all manner of coincidences.

After all, the purpose of his journey this time was to welcome the return of a certain 'Ancestor.'

How could everything possibly go smoothly?

One must understand that the 'weight' the human clan now held in the Xuan Realm—even with the Cang Clan blessed by Heaven—was still a notch behind.

Both divine sense and the great Dao were suppressed, so much so that he had only just now thought this point through! "Come, human clan's Fortune Foundation Establishment cultivator." He gazed into the distance, a flicker of anticipation flashing through his glass-like, iridescent eyes.

"I shall see just how much of the Sword Reverent's bearing you possess."

As for uniting the local clans to encircle and annihilate that human clan's Fortune Foundation Establishment cultivator? Hah! He had no need of them.
