Chapter 200: Three strikes explode! Seize the strange treasure!

Hng...

Wang Lichuan instantly let out a muffled groan, his whole body swiftly retreating more than ten meters.

He landed on an open patch of ground, his face deathly pale.

"More than twenty percent of the Slaughter God Heart?"

He only felt a powerful slaughter will surge into his mind, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

With his strength nearing the God Heart Realm, although their powers were roughly equal, he was still no match for his opponent.

This left Wang Lichuan extremely shocked.

He never expected a powerful God Son to come after him this time.

"Run..."

His first thought was to flee; he didn't dare fight again.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Buzz..."

A bloody canopy instantly covered a radius of more than ten li.

Blood mist filled the surroundings, a blood moon high above burst forth with an eerie glow, making even the air feel icy.

"Woo..."

The Endless Skeleton King reborn from the mist, wielding a great blade, charged at Wang Lichuan, killing intent rolling like smoke.

"Uh-oh, he's a top-tier expert of the God Heart Realm."

Numerous nearby bandits were all shocked.

In their lifetimes, they had never encountered such a terrifying person.

Moreover, they were the ones being attacked.

Everyone felt their spirits immersed in a sea of slaughter.

They rolled on the ground, wailing miserably.

Even Wang Lichuan felt his speed drop drastically, his face grim.

Just one Slaughter Domain move, and all the innate bandits present lost all ability to resist.

That is the terror of a top-tier expert.

"Die."

Lu Zhangsheng lifted the Golden Radiant Blade and surged forward.

Killing aura rose around him, emitting an astonishing pressure.

Since upgrading the Golden Radiant Blade to upper grade, this was the first time he unleashed it at full power.

Brilliant light flickered in the void, as if it could slash through space.

"Whoosh..."

The blade's light seemed to instantly pierce endless space, arriving before Wang Lichuan's face.

Even the surrounding mist was split by the blade, producing repeated sonic booms.

"Kill."

Seeing no escape, Wang Lichuan gritted his teeth and went straight to meet him.

Turning to flee would only lead to death; better to fight to the death.

In an instant, their long blades clashed, endless gusts scattering wildly.

Dust and smoke billowed around, the ground covered in blade marks.

"Pfft..."

Wang Lichuan was directly cut down by the blade, a mouthful of blood spurting out.

His face turned deathly pale.

Even his breath became unsteady.

His eyes were full of fear; this blade, he could barely block it.

But before he could react, a second blade silently arrived.

That fierce blade's light made his cheeks sting.

He had no time to think, quickly drawing his blade to block.

As the long blades clashed, the sound of metal rang out.

"Pfft..."

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, Wang Lichuan's whole body smashed straight into an underground boulder.

The surrounding mountains began to crack, terrifyingly.

"Die."

Just then, Lu Zhangsheng struck again with his blade.

Above his head, eight flying dragons roared, as if a ninth phantom dragon struggled to emerge.

The astonishing blade light seemed like a heavenly river descending to the mortal world, its might unmatched.

Wang Lichuan blocked with a horizontal blade, his face full of fear.

At this moment, he truly felt fear; a sense of death welled up in his heart, leaving him utterly desperate.

"Boom..."

In an instant, their long blades collided.

Wang Lichuan's mid-grade Dao weapon in his hand was directly cut in two.

Thereafter, the blade's light, undiminished in power, slashed toward his opponent.

Ah—

After a piercing scream, Wang Liechuan's entire body instantly turned into a pool of blood, which spread out.

Three strikes, and this late-stage Grand Master expert was blown apart alive.

Even the defensive extraordinary treasure on his body couldn't withstand Lu Zhangsheng's blade aura.

Then, Lu Zhangsheng sheathed his long blade and walked up to him.

He saw a round pearl on the ground, bursting forth with strands of golden light amidst the flesh chunks.

He just knew this item was quite extraordinary.

According to his strength, wielding a top-grade Dao weapon, plus two-tenths of the Slaughter Divine Heart and several divine abilities combined.

The opponent definitely couldn't withstand two moves.

His Eight Dragon Power, boosted by these conditions, was far more terrifying than the opponent's.

However, the reality was that this person actually managed to block his three-strike burst outright.

Obviously, the object before him was indispensable.

Although this item wasn't very useful to him, it would be quite good for Qin Ruobing and the two children as self-defense.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately picked it up and then headed toward the cave ahead.

All along the mountain path, he soon arrived inside the cave.

Then, relying on his keen perception, he passed through numerous checkpoints and bends, arriving before a large stone cavern.

Boom—

Pushing open the stone door, he saw that within the cavern spanning tens of meters, various ores and spiritual creatures were scattered everywhere.

Five-colored splendid light flashed in the void, and even the spiritual energy was much more abundant.

Heavenly Crystal Stone, Origin Crystal Stone, Star Sand, Essence of Kui Water—

A large quantity of ordinary spiritual creatures were piled together.

These bandits are indeed wealthy; half a lifetime's accumulation makes even me a bit envious.

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the large quantity of spiritual creatures before him, and felt delighted.

Immediately afterward, he began to absorb them.

【Source Energy Points +100.】

【Source Energy Points +100.】

【Source Energy Points +500.】

……

The resources in his hand were rapidly increasing, as if without limit.

Not long after, all the spiritual creatures on the ground were completely absorbed.

He opened the panel.

A blue light curtain appeared in the void ahead.

Source Energy Points: 3120000.

This harvest was indeed not small; it directly increased his resources by over two million points.

Now, the resources needed to break through to late-stage Grand Master have been collected halfway.

Within three months, there is also a decent hope of gathering enough resource points.

Now, Lu Zhangsheng became increasingly interested in another hunting target.

If he could strike another fortune, reaching late-stage Grand Master would be certain.

By then, his journey into the Hun Tian Realm would also be more assured.

Numerous holy land sons and daughters gather, plus the power struggles of various factions, ensuring the bloodshed will be maxed out.

…………

One month later.

Yanzhou.

Liu Cheng, inside an ordinary tavern.

As the icy snow city of the northern country, the climate here is extremely cold.

Some special products unique to the northern country are quite famous in the Great Zhou.

Lu Zhangsheng sat in a window-side private room on the second floor of the tavern, picked up an ice crystal shrimp and put it in his mouth.

A feeling of icy cool freshness burst on his taste buds.

Paired with the fruit wine in his hand, it was even more of an enjoyment.

Over the past month, Lu Zhangsheng has been tracking another person's trail.

Yet he has gotten no information at all.

He opened the intelligence and pondered it carefully.

Feng Yifei, late-stage Grand Master strength, extremely fast speed, likes to collect various monstrous beast crystal cores—

He has repeatedly intercepted treasures of the Yong Prince's Manor, been wanted for decades, yet remains at large.

……

This person is suspected to have last appeared two months ago in a small town somewhere in Yanzhou.

Some martial artists saw his unique evasion technique divine ability.

Lu Zhangsheng kept watch in dozens of cities in Yanzhou for many days, yet detected no abnormality.

He plans to wait a few more days; if still no gain, he can only return.

He himself cannot keep investigating indefinitely.

However, relying on information from the Prince's Manor and the DemonSubduingOffice, he still discovered some clues. According to rumors, near Liu City there is a great river called the Canglang River, and at the bottom of this river exists a Jiao Dragon strange beast.

This beast has repeatedly caused chaos, and even many strong warriors surrounding it only managed to wound it.

Moreover, not long ago, this evil Jiao Dragon again stirred up wind and waves.

It flooded countless villages outside the city, causing numerous civilian casualties.

Lu Zhangsheng guessed that the other side might possibly take action against this Jiao Dragon.

After all, the entire Jiao Dragon is a treasure; even a Grandmaster strong warrior who obtains it could enhance their strength somewhat.

Lu Zhangsheng then decided to wait a few days at this tavern and see.

…………

Time flowed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

The original is being watched!

These days, Lu Zhangsheng has stayed in the tavern observing the outside situation, with no abnormality at all.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng was about to give up and return to the Capital City, an abrupt change occurred.

"Roar roar roar..."

A shocking dragon roar shot straight to the heavens, and some martial artists in the city covered their ears, faces contorted in pain.

Immediately after, a powerful dragon's might spread out.

"Oh no, that Jiao Dragon is causing chaos again; quickly go report to the imperial court!"

The DemonSubduingOffice warriors of the county city sprang into action, sending distress signals to the superior department.

Many martial artists arrived at the city walls, seeing vast floodwaters rushing into the city, their hearts filled with despair.

A huge Jiao Dragon coiled above the waves, its bell-sized eyes emitting a terrifying killing intent.

The entire Jiao Dragon is over ten meters long, its dragon claws flashing with cold light, exuding immense pressure.

Sensing this dragon's might, Lu Zhangsheng's expression twitched slightly.

This Jiao Dragon's strength is close to that of a Grandmaster Peak.

However, the opponent's abdomen clearly bears a long wound that has not yet fully healed.

Obviously, it was left from the last time it was besieged and killed by human experts.

With his strength, slaying this beast is not difficult.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng was about to act, the surrounding void suddenly transmitted waves of fluctuation.

"Hum..."

Several strands of azure light shot up instantly, tightly trapping this Jiao Dragon within.

No matter how the Jiao Dragon rushes, it is difficult to break this prison in the first moment.

"Boom boom boom..."

The azure light curtain began to violently tremble under the Jiao Dragon's impact.

Waves of angry dragon roars spread in all directions.

"Haha... I have finally waited for you, you wicked beast."

At that moment, a black-clad middle-aged man flew from afar.

His speed was like a flash of lightning.

The surrounding mist surged, leaving a long passage.

The comer was none other than Feng Yifei.

After many days of preparation, relying on the advantage of the formation, they managed to trap this Jiao Dragon.

He was already somewhat impatient, wanting to slay this beast.

"Kill."

Feng Yifei raised his longsword and suddenly charged forward.

Soon he passed through the azure light curtain and engaged in a great battle with the Jiao Dragon.

"Boom boom boom..."

For a time, the two clashed fiercely on the river surface, and the intense roaring echoed to the heavens.

The entire great river surged with towering waves, rolling up thousands of huge waves.

Large amounts of turbid river water poured into the city, causing the civilians to become ever more chaotic.

Shouts and wails echoed throughout the city.

A group of imperial court martial artists looked at the scene before them, their faces extremely grim.

"This person is a wanted criminal of the imperial court."

Everyone immediately recognized the other's identity.

However, his Grandmaster-level strength left this group utterly desperate.

They dared not make any move at all.

A single wave of his hand could wipe them out.

Moreover, imperial court reinforcements would take at least about two hours, so they could only wait quietly.

If he were to slay the Jiao Dragon and then choose to slaughter the city, they would have no recourse.

Lu Zhangsheng saw the target appear, and his expression twitched.

He also did not rush to act immediately, but instead waited for the right moment.

As time passed.

Soon, half an hour had passed.

Howl howl howl…

The flood dragon roared again and again, its dragon chant growing ever more urgent.

Moreover, a trace of blood gradually appeared at the wound on its abdomen.

Obviously, under the high-intensity battle, the wound began to rupture.

Even its breath grew somewhat unsteady.

Feng Yifei's eyes were full of delight.

As long as he slays this juvenile flood dragon, his strength can advance further.

Both the dragon pearl and dragon blood are precious treasures.

He cultivates the Myriad Beasts True Classic, and he happens to lack dragon blood to nourish it.

For this moment, he has waited many years.

Seeing his goal about to be achieved, his heart grew ever more excited.

As he brandished his long sword, it became more dazzling and blinding, and his aura surged wildly.

Just as Feng Yifei was dreaming sweetly, a sudden change occurred.

Whoosh…

A fierce blade-light shot down from the heavens, like a star falling to earth, its momentum overwhelming.

In an instant, the blade-light pierced the azure light curtain and struck the flood dragon's massive head.

Howl…

With a piercing scream, the entire flood dragon was cleaved in two, its blood spraying into the void.

The surging river below was dyed red.

A white-clad man descended from the high heavens like a deity.

He exuded an overbearing, peerless aura.

The one who made the move was none other than Lu Zhangsheng.

Courting death.

Seeing his prey snatched away, Feng Yifei's eyes flashed with killing intent.

He had already sentenced his opponent to death in his heart.

On the city wall, numerous martial artists, upon seeing who had acted, all wore looks of astonishment and delight.

Lord Lu

A group of DemonSubduingOffice warriors instantly recognized the newcomer's identity.

As a senior member of the Qingzhou DemonSubduingOffice, Lu Zhangsheng's fame had already spread throughout the Great Zhou DemonSubduingOffice.

Countless civilian martial artists regarded him as an idol and a goal to strive for.

After all, those who rose from commoner status to the rank of divine son, over the past several decades only Lu Zhangsheng has done so.

Imperial lackeys?

After recognizing the person, Feng Yifei's expression turned grave.

Anyone capable of coming to intercept and kill him is certainly no ordinary foe.

Death

Just then, Lu Zhangsheng made his move.

He raised his golden radiant blade and slashed forward.

Whoosh…

The astonishing blade-light, like lightning, swept toward Feng Yifei, waves of killing intent filling the arena.

Feng Yifei dared not hesitate, likewise thrusting forward with all his strength.

His fire domain had already been pushed to its limit.

The fiery radiance seemed ready to burn everything.

Boom boom boom…

Under that strike, Feng Yi's face turned pale and he swiftly retreated.

He was utterly shocked in his heart.

Are you a top-tier divine son?

Run…

He fled backward without looking back, a flash of escape light vanishing above the river.

He didn't even bother with the surrounding formations.

Lu Zhangsheng activated the Five Elements Escape Technique, his body turning into a stream of water that swiftly pursued.

Traveling upon water, swift as a rushing thunder.

After achieving Minor Accomplishment in the Five Elements Escape Technique, its formidable power finally manifested.

The two, one ahead and one behind, gradually vanished above the river.

On the city wall, everyone stared in shock as Lu Zhangsheng swiftly departed.

A single blow sent a late-stage master fleeing in disarray.

Such might already surpassed everyone's comprehension.

Among those present, even those at the innate stage were few.

Let alone those mighty warriors capable of slaying masters—they were nothing short of heavenly beings.
