Chapter 177: Barbara: You Will Be My Husband

This is the Immortal-Sealing Net!

Oh no!

On Mount Taihang, chaos reigned.

This time, the Martial Manor chose to trust Lu Xun, risking to summon a large number of strong fighters to surround and kill these foreign beings.

Such a move was indeed quite risky.

Because the strong fighters of Lan Xing are currently very tense.

For each one transferred, the defensive pressure on the place they left increases a bit.

If this attempt comes up empty, and transferring the strong fighters causes huge losses, no one can bear that responsibility.

If the informant were not Lu Xun, and even with the full guarantee of the Beidou University chancellor, the Martial Manor might not be willing to take this risk.

Now, facts prove that their risk was correct.

Indeed, they have blocked the foreign beings here.

The Martial Manor's preparations are extremely thorough.

To prevent these foreign beings from escaping, they deployed the Ten Directions Immortal-Sealing Net, a great killing weapon.

The Ten Directions Immortal-Sealing Net, that is, that transparent net, is a sealing-type magical artifact prepared specifically for foreign beings.

Charge out!

The foreign beings' eyes turned blood-red, and they all unleashed their secret life-saving techniques.

For a moment, the divine abilities of various races intertwined in the void, forming a net as they tried to tear open a path of survival.

You think you can leave?

A cold snort echoed through the clouds; the Martial Manor's strong fighters had already laid a net of heaven and earth.

Only a figure was seen stepping through the void, the pressure of the Six Realms like an abyss and sea; with a casual wave, immense spiritual power transformed into a sky-covering giant palm, slapping many foreign beings until they vomited blood and flew backward!

Six Realms! It's the human race's Six Realms!

The foreign beings' faces drastically changed.

Just now, when they all attacked together, they were all struck until they vomited blood; it could only be the Six Realms.

The Six Realms Immortal Cultivator gave a cold snort and attacked again.

Don't let any of them escape!

The Martial Manor's Five Realms strong fighters likewise rushed in, blade light and sword shadows intertwining into a net of death, driving the foreign beings into a desperate situation.

Uncle Three, save me!

The demon race's Five Realms shouted loudly.

Boom!

As the words fell, a demon race Six Realms wielding a huge axe charged out.

His black giant axe swept across, the violent demonic qi roaring like an angry dragon, actually blocking all attacks of the human strong fighters!

But after blocking the humans' attacks, he did not continue fighting; instead, he grabbed that demon race Five Realms and rushed toward the distance.

This guy simply had no intention of caring about the life or death of other foreign beings.

That is also normal.

The foreign beings here do not belong to the same tribe; their hearts were never united.

However, there are other demon races here; this demon race Six Realms actually paid no attention to anything else, only saving his nephew.

I've been waiting for you.

At that moment, another human Six Realms appeared.

His entire body's qi and blood burned like a furnace; indeed, he was a Six Realms martial cultivator!

Just with you?

The demon race Six Realms laughed wildly, demonic qi surging as he swung his huge axe, actually allowing him to fight two opponents without falling behind.

He fought while retreating, seemingly about to break out of the encirclement!

Just at this critical moment——

Slash.

Above the nine heavens, a cold voice sounded.

In an instant, heaven and earth lost color!

A vast and mighty blade light, as bright as a ten-thousand-mile-long radiance, like a galaxy pouring down, carrying the intent to slay everything, came crashing down!

Deserving of death!

The demon race Six Realms' pupils contracted sharply, frantically activating the demon core within his body.

Black demon armor instantly covered his whole body, and on his hand appeared a demon shield, intending to hard-block this heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating blade!

He could not avoid blocking it, for this blade light came too fast and was too terrifying.

He could not dodge.

Boom!

At the moment the blade light collided with the demon shield, a terrifying shockwave swept across thousands of miles.

The demon race Six Realms fell like a meteor onto the ground, literally flattening a mountain peak!

Amidst the smoke and dust, his demon armor shattered all over, yet he still struggled to rise——

However, the second blade had already arrived.

This blade was as swift as a startled swan.

Sizzle!

The blade light flashed past, and the demon race Six Realms' demonic body snapped apart on the spot, even his soul vanishing into smoke and ashes under this strike!

Such a powerful blade light, after killing the demon tribe's Six Realms, did not cause much more destruction to the mountain beneath him.

This shows how exquisite his control of power is.

So strong!

The watching Lu Xun sucked in a breath of cold air.

The one who made the move is definitely above the Seven Realms.

Two blades killed the demon tribe's Six Realms.

The first blade couldn't kill, still because the demon tribe's Six Realms had a trump card.

It's over!

Seeing the demon tribe's Six Realms all killed, the other tribes' Five Realms fell into despair.

Although the strong one who killed the demon tribe's Six Realms did not make another move.

But facing humanity's heavenly net and earthly trap, they wanting to escape is almost impossible.

This battle did not last long before ending.

The battle's outcome had no suspense; all the alien troops were utterly wiped out.

The results of this battle were especially glorious.

One Six Realm died, and over ten Five Realms.

In a short time, the alien peoples couldn't stir up too big a wave.

Lu Xun, you have rendered great merit this time; these are the storage bags searched from their bodies; you may freely pick three as a reward, and I will also report your merit for this battle.

After the battle ended, the Martial Manor's Commander Xu, with a smiling face, said to Lu Xun.

How could one not smile?

Having settled so many alien peoples this time, any Lan Xing person would have to laugh.

The losses these alien peoples brought to humanity are too great.

Over these many years, the number of humans killed directly or indirectly by alien peoples who infiltrated Lan Xing is in the hundreds of millions.

Now the insect plague is getting more fierce; if these alien peoples were to attack ordinary Lan Xing people at this time, many small and medium cities would likely be doomed.

Commander Xu and Lu Xun are acquaintances; perhaps that's why he was put in charge of this operation.

As for the strong one who made a move from the heavens, Lu Xun doesn't know who it is.

Okay, Commander Xu.

Don't be so formal; just call me Uncle Xu.

Okay, Uncle Xu.

That's right; these are storage bags, pick for yourself.

Commander Xu had people bring over a large pile of storage bags.

Uncle Xu, I'll just pick these three.

Lu Xun took a glance and chose three.

Well, he actually cheated.

He used his fiery golden eyes to see through these storage bags.

The storage bags he picked contain many good things, especially Dark Energy.

This can just make up for the losses from recent battles.

After these recent battles, Lu Xun's Dark Energy consumption has been too great.

Like a fifth-grade talisman, one sheet costs nearly ten units of Dark Energy.

Lu Xun used two sheets.

Although his seventh-grade treasure robe blocked many attacks, its Dark Energy consumption is not small; of the hundred units of Dark Energy he poured into it, about one third has been used.

The Dark Energy in these three storage bags can let Lu Xun replenish a wave of blood.

The war situation is urgent; we have to go back; just in case, come with us?

Okay.

Seeing Lu Xun had chosen the storage bags, Commander Xu prepared to return.

Recently the insect tide has been escalating; even the pressure on the capital has become extremely great.

He dare not delay too long.

Not long after, the capital was reached.

Junior schoolmate, goodbye.

Goodbye, senior schoolmate.

Lu Xun said farewell to Ran Bing.

Over these few days of getting along, Lu Xun and Ran Bing came to appreciate each other quite a bit.

Their relationship is somewhat subtle.

Calling it ambiguous would not be appropriate.

Using an old saying, it's above friends but not yet lovers, which actually also isn't suitable.

They are more like close confidants.

So,

The invitation Lu Xun had in his mouth to ask her to team up and go to the Rainbow Bridge was ultimately not spoken.

Ran Bing seems to have her own plan.

It's Lu Xun, he's come back.

Good, Brother Xun.

Just returned to Big Dipper University, Lu Xun was spotted by some students.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, the students greeted him one after another, and every look they gave him was filled with deep admiration.

Yes, it's admiration.

Lu Xun himself is a legend of Big Dipper University; over the past six months, his various performances have repeatedly caused tremors at the university.

This made countless students deeply admire Lu Xun, even worship him.

Especially the freshmen.

But that doesn't quite count as admiration.

Until this time, Lu Xun ventured out to support, risking assassination by foreign tribespeople.

This let many students see another shining point of Lu Xun.

As a genius of Big Dipper University, who wouldn't want to become a hero admired by all?

But those who truly dare to step forward in times of crisis, risking assassination by foreign tribespeople, are few and far between.

And Lu Xun not only possesses extraordinary talent, but also courage and responsibility beyond what ordinary people can attain.

"Lu Xun, junior!"

A clear voice came from behind.

Lu Xun turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail jogging up to him, her cheeks flushed from the hurried run.

"This is a peace charm made together by the classmates."

The girl held out a delicate sachet embroidered with the Big Dipper pattern, saying, "My home is in Paulownia City—thank you!"

In the girl's eyes were gratitude, admiration, and even a hint of affection.

Lu Xun blinked in surprise.

The sachet gave off a faint medicinal scent; the stitching was fine but not perfectly neat, clearly the work of many hands combined.

"Thank you."

Lu Xun took the sachet.

"Junior, keep it up—you're the best!"

Seeing him accept the sachet, the girl's eyes sparkled, she couldn't help but smile, and she waved a little fist at Lu Xun.

Before Lu Xun could respond, she turned and ran off, her slender silhouette disappearing into the crowd like a startled fawn.

"Whoa, Brother Xun, you're finally back!"

Just returned to the dormitory, I don't know where Li Befan caught a whiff of something, but he came running over excitedly.

"If you don't cultivate, what are you wandering around for every day? Can you even face your grandmother?"

Lu Xun gave him a blunt rebuke.

Li Befan's face immediately fell.

"Brother Xun, I'm not here just to admire you—you don't know how popular you are online right now."

Li Befan said.

"Popular?"

These days, Lu Xun does nothing but fight, and he hardly pays attention to what's online.

"Of course, the video of your battle in Paulownia City has gone viral across the net; even some old folks in remote areas know your name—you're famous now."

Li Befan was extremely envious.

Even cultivators are still young at heart—who wouldn't want fame under heaven?

"What good is fame? You can't eat it."

Lu Xun lounged comfortably on the sofa, not really caring whether he was famous or not.

"Still, it's got to be my Brother Xun."

Li Befan expressed his admiration.

He brought Lu Xun quite a bit of news.

For example, inspired by Lu Xun, several fourth-realm students from Big Dipper University ran to the front lines to join the battle.

Those few fourth-realm students didn't leave the capital; instead, they fought on the capital's front lines.

When the foreign tribespeople came to assassinate, they actually didn't do much to those students.

Because there are too many cultivators on the front lines, with experts keeping watch, the foreign tribespeople dare not show themselves easily.

Ironically, the most dangerous place has become the safest.

It's unclear whether the leadership of Big Dipper University was inspired, but they are reportedly preparing to send all the students out to participate in the capital's defense.

This would free up some of the capital's garrison troops to go support other places.

However, although there are no foreign tribespeople on the front lines, the insect swarms are exceptionally fierce, and from time to time bugs of Six Realms or higher appear.

The battles are extraordinarily fierce and still quite dangerous.

So the school hasn't made a final decision yet; it merely conducted a survey among the students to see how many are willing to go.

"Do you want to go?"

"Of course—I may only be second realm, but even if I'm not allowed on the front line, give me a spirit-energy cannon and I'll shoot better than anyone."

Li Befan also wants to join the battle.

"Take it."

Lu Xun didn't say anything; he pulled out a large stack of spirit talismans.

These are the fourth-grade spirit talismans he bought earlier.

His strength has risen too quickly; these fourth-grade spirit talismans are now useless to Lu Xun.

"Brother Xun, you've already given me enough..."

Just take it when I tell you to; what's with all the nonsense?

Lu Xun stuffed the spirit talisman into Li Buffan's hand, then kicked this kid out with one foot and shut the door.

Because Lu Xun sensed that Babala had awakened.

Sure enough.

As soon as Li Buffan left, Babala popped out of her pocket.

You're practically a freak.

Babala jumped onto the tea table, her little eyes full of surprise.

After awakening, she could obtain Xiao Bai's memories.

Lu Xun's growth, even in Babala's eyes, was astonishingly fast.

If I weren't following you every day, I'd suspect you'd made a pact with a demon.

Babala's little eyes scanned over Lu Xun again and again, as if trying to see whether he bore the mark of a demon's contract.

If we enter the Rainbow Bridge, I should be able to lift your curse without problem, right?

Lu Xun didn't waste time with her, hurriedly getting to the point.

On Lan Xing, if he lifts Babala's curse, the western witch will notice.

But if we pass through the Rainbow Bridge to reach other parts of this nebula, then lift the curse?

As far as we can see, the nebula named Flower Crown spans at least over ten light-years.

The distances between different Spirit Realms within the nebula are extraordinarily vast.

Lu Xun just didn't believe that the witch could still detect it.

Better not, unless you can find the ancient Star Gate.

Babala shook her head.

Star Gate?

Yeah, Star Gate.

Babala tilted her fluffy head, her ears twitching, and said, "It has many names—Starry Sky Gate, Transmission Gate, Superstring Channel… As long as you find it, you can cross the star river and reach other ancient route nodes."

Her voice gradually lowered, carrying a hint of seductive softness.

Suddenly, she lifted her eyelids, her pink pupils staring straight ahead, her smile hiding mischief and wildness—

If we can find the Star Gate, I could possibly return to Astela Xing—how about we make a deal?

A deal?

Lu Xun pondered for a moment: 'What deal, General?'

Of course not.

Babala put on a solemn face: 'As long as you help me return to Astela Xing, I, Astela Weiluonika Sailletes Yueguang Xingchen Aoluola Yibieshalafi'ona Babala... swear by my true name, I can make you my sole husband.'

Once I ascend the throne, you will be the king's man.
