Chapter 142: Lu Ji Repels the Enemy

Just a hundred zhang behind him.

Wu Tie lifted the Wu Maiden and the Demon Chapter King, flicked his wrist, and threw them toward the passage entrance.

Tie Da Jian raised the heavy sword in his hand and turned around.

In the midst of his mad sprint, he suddenly turned; his whole body only had his heels lightly touching the ground, like a bird soaring through the void, he lightly slid backward.

With a "hiss", a long sound rang out; Tie Da Jian's heels dragged two long trails of dust on the ground.

He looked at the several faint gold-colored figures behind him and shouted in a low voice: "Several uncles-master, listen to me……"

"No one can break the Six Paths Palace's rules…… The more one is a disciple of the Six Paths Palace, the more so……" A burly man with a bald head and six circular disciplinary scars on his forehead muttered lowly.

He had already reached behind Tie Da Jian and slammed a right fist down.

Tie Da Jian raised the heavy sword that originally belonged to Ge Luo Jin, holding it horizontally across his chest.

The fist passed, the sword shattered, Tie Da Jian spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wa", his body suddenly accelerated, shooting backward like a shell from a barrel, with a "hum" he surpassed the Wu Maiden and Demon Chapter King thrown by Wu Tie, and plunged deep into the passage.

After a full two breaths, a dull boom came from deep in the passage; Tie Da Jian had struck the rock wall, and it was still unknown how injured he was.

The gap between half-step Life Pool Realm and true Life Pool Realm was still too great, too great……

Another faint gold-colored figure arrived behind Wu Tie; Wu Tie turned, and the White Tiger Fissure pierced toward the opponent's thigh with a piercing tearing-through-the-air sound.

The enemy, is the enemy.

But these cultivators who observed the Six Paths Palace's rules, Wu Tie felt no ill will toward them; with this spear he only sought to block the enemy, not hoping to do anything to them.

With a "ding", just as the White Tiger Fissure thrust out, a hand appeared on the spear shaft. Wu Tie felt a tremendous resistance coming; he thrust forward with all his might, yet without using the Great Strength God Demon Technique, a force of a hundred million catties could not move the White Tiger Fissure forward even an inch.

"What tremendous strength!" the burly man exclaimed in shock, looking at Wu Tie: "Chonglou Realm? A fine seedling…… Too bad you shouldn't have killed people in Great Dragon City…… You used a spear? Those brats said the one who killed Li Meng was you?"

Wu Tie hastily retreated backward; the burly man grabbed the White Tiger Fissure and shoved Wu Tie forward.

Several more burly men with faint gold skin had already slowed their steps.

Tie Da Jian was sent flying by their punch; Wu Tie was apparently also restrained by his companions, so they had no need to remain tense.

Unlike Wang Si and Wu Ri, these hall chiefs, these several burly men are the Six Paths Palace's hidden operatives ambushed in Great Dragon City. They are true ascetics, usually hiding in the primordial apertures near Great Dragon City, single-mindedly cultivating, never attending to worldly affairs.

Unless today the alarm bells of Great Dragon City ring like this, they would never appear, and hardly anyone in the outside world knows of their existence.

Wu Tie is merely a Chonglou Realm cultivator; they need not be overly tense.

Even if Wu Tie had slain the Half-Step Chonglou Realm Li Meng…… But frankly, in the hearts of these burly men, Li Meng, who came from the Six Paths Palace family forces and also handled external affairs for the Reception Hall, seemed somewhat slick and worldly, and his standing in their eyes was not high.

They even looked down on Li Meng a little……

As a Half-Step Life Pool Realm cultivator of the Six Paths Palace, Li Meng was too weak—so weak that several burly men were unwilling to acknowledge him as a direct disciple of the Six Paths Palace.

"Kid, put down your weapon and surrender." The burly man gripping the shaft of the White Tiger Fissure suddenly halted his steps; a tremendous force came, and Wu Tie involuntarily stopped.

"Our Six Paths Palace is a place with rules. You killed Li Meng; you will certainly be punished. But we also want to reason, we also want to uphold the rules—explain clearly what happened, why did you kill Li Meng?" The burly man looked earnestly at Wu Tie.

"If Li Meng was in the wrong, and you are willing to become a disciple of our Six Paths Palace, then…… the punishment could be waived." The burly man marveled at Wu Tie's astonishingly strong physique; in his view, Wu Tie ought to be a Six Paths Palace disciple.

Especially since the burly man had lived many years, he was good at reading people.

Wu Tie had a youthful face and clear eyes; even though the killing intent in his eyes was heavier than that of his peers, it was pure and clear killing intent, unmixed with greed, lust, brutality, or bloodlust.

Such a fine seedling should join the Six Paths Palace…… After being tempered by the Six Paths Palace's pure rules and precepts, he should become a capable hand.

Wu Tie looked at the burly man.

The burly man's face was resolute, his gaze deep; faintly, two clusters of golden flame burned in his pupils, just as his whole person gave the impression—his eyes filled with strong and pure emotion.

He was a person who lived simply and purely.

But…… how could Wu Tie possibly agree to their terms? Joining the Six Paths Palace…… Wu Tie had no interest in that.

Within the Six Paths Palace, someone like Li Meng could exist; who knows if there might be more of his companions?

Wu Tie did not want to get dragged into muddy waters…… He fundamentally had no mood to join the Six Paths Palace, even though he greatly admired those honest disciples of the Six Paths Palace.

The Great Strength God Demon Technique was fully activated; the golden light cluster at his brow burned rapidly, Wu Tie let out a low roar, and from each pore a strong heat gushed out; rolling heat waves behind him condensed into heavy shadows, and a tall, mighty demonic phantom suddenly coalesced in the light and shadow.

A billion catties of mighty force erupted; Wu Tie channeled a stream of magical power into the White Tiger Fissure, and its weight suddenly swelled to a hundred million catties.

Wu Tie heaved the spear shaft with all his strength, like a tsunami erupting; the instantaneous explosive force far surpassed the power his magical energy had generated; the burly man's whole body shuddered, caught off guard, a tremendous force surged into his body, and every bone emitted a resonant "dong".

The burly man's five fingers were as if struck by lightning, uncontrollably loosening their grip; the tremendous force came, and the arm holding the spear twisted oddly—from wrist to elbow, elbow to shoulder—every joint in that arm was dislocated by the shock.

Wu Tie retracted the spear and unleashed a Diamond Subduing Demon Fist.

Grand Righteous Qi mixed with the Diamond Subduing Demon Fist's unique overbearing yang and unparalleled mighty fist intent erupted; a water-tank-sized golden fist aura burst through the air and heavily slammed into the burly man's belly.

"Diamond Subduing Demon Fist!" several burly men exclaimed in unison.

The burly man struck by Wu Tie's fist grunted; the fist aura propelled his body backward at high speed, its overbearing domineering force sending him flying over ten li in an instant, his feet scraping violently against the ground, leaving two long, deep gouges.

"Stop!" the burly man shouted in rage, his whole body suddenly blazing with gold; he stomped his feet hard on the ground, and his fists, trailing two golden streaks, fiercely smashed into the golden fist aura before his chest.

With a tremendous roar, the earth burst open a pit several meters in diameter and several meters deep; the burly man's scant clothing instantly shattered, an air explosion shot up to a kilometer high, exploding in midair into rings of white vapor, like a rapidly growing white mushroom spreading outward quickly.

Behind the burly man, the large troop that had chased out from Great Dragon City was hit by the dispersing fist wind; each individual's nostrils bled as they flew backward, amidst shrill cries, at least a thousand people suffered internal injuries from the scattered fist aura of Wu Tie's punch.

"Where did you learn the Diamond Subduing Demon Fist?" several burly men with faint gold skin roared in unison, each glaring at Wu Tie with hostile eyes.

Wu Tie looked at the several burly men, only feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.

He had already stood at the passage entrance; Lu Ji and the others should have made some preparations in the passage.

But those preparations, meant to deal with Chonglou Realm cultivators, should still have some chance; to deal with these terrifying Life Pool Realm experts, especially the Six Paths Palace's frenzied body-tempering violent Life Pool Realm…… Wu Tie had no hope that Lu Ji's methods would be of any use.

Although, the three Ge Luo Jin they had just killed were Life Pool Realm experts.

But those three had been poisoned by the Demon Chapter King's exhaled toxin, their strength greatly weakened, and then caught off guard by Wu Tie and Tie Da Jian.

Facing the Life Pool Realm head-on?

Wu Tie drew a deep breath, looking at the several ill-disposed, bright-eyed Six Paths Palace burly men, and suddenly roared: "Demon Chapter King, give me another spray!"

Wu Tie didn't specify what the Demon Chapter King should spray, but he knew the Demon Chapter King surely understood what he meant.

The Demon Chapter King's anxious, helpless voice came from behind: "Spray, spray, spray, what do you want me to spray? That mouthful is the essence I accumulated over the years when I first awakened my innate divine ability…… This stuff is like a man doing that—there's nothing in my belly, how can you ask me to spray?"

Wu Tie's face twitched violently.

Lao Tie isn't anything proper, so Wu Tie learned many improper things from Lao Tie.

Although he is not very old, Wu Tie can understand what that bastard Magic Chapter King is saying.

You compare your innate divine ability to that kind of shady dealings?

Talent, top-notch talent!

Wu Tie gave a bitter laugh, he took a deep breath, pulled out a handful of Primal Grass and stuffed it into his mouth, desperately circulating his Profound Technique to quickly replenish his mana. Streams of mana continuously burned, the Great Strength God Magic operated at full strength, his physical strength increased bit by bit, and consequently the bonus strength from the Great Strength God Magic grew ever stronger.

"Battle!" a flash of ruthless thought passed through Wu Tie's mind.

He recalled the bracer on his left wrist; if these few powerhouses of the Six Paths Palace insist on pressing him, then it's no wonder he would strike ruthlessly.

Although the bracer still contains a huge amount of resources and wealth, when it comes to his life, he can't worry about that much.

When this bracer explodes, only the core area within a three-foot radius is barely safe; this also counts as a sliver of life left by the bracer's maker for himself. But everything within a kilometer radius will suffer indiscriminate spatial blasting attacks.

Wu Tie took a deep breath, preparing to have Shi Fei and the others retreat quickly, at least staying more than a kilometer away from him.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ji's voice came from behind Wu Tie: "Several seniors, please let us leave; this would be good for us and also good for you…… Please don't act rashly, otherwise, if I accidentally make a mistake, things will become troublesome."

Several strong men stopped their steps, they curiously looked toward behind Wu Tie.

Wu Tie dared not turn his head, merely staring fixedly at those strong men, but his invisible force field released, he could equally clearly know what happened behind him.

The petite Lu Ji hid beneath the belly of his metal spider puppet, the puppet's several long metal limbs shielding Lu Ji on all sides, as if he were placed inside a metal cage.

Lu Ji tightly grasped a strange metal disc with both hands, its surface flickering, dozens of faint red points shimmering.

"Several seniors, don't force us…… we are innocent, we have done nothing harmful to Great Dragon City or the Six Paths Palace." Lu Ji earnestly reasoned with the strong men: "It is Li Mang and his ilk who want to kill us for no reason, and it is your Six Paths Palace disciples who first broke the rules."

The strong man who had just been blown away by Wu Tie's punch strode over, aside from his clothes being shattered all over, he had no other injuries.

Wu Tie carefully sized up this guy, head to toe, indeed there wasn't a single wound. Wu Tie, without using the White Tiger Split, relying purely on his current strength, indeed could not match the Life Pool Realm, and could not even inflict any harm on these guys.

But, they are just this group of body-training fanatics from the Six Paths Palace.

If they were the Elders of the Changsheng Sect, Wu Tie believed that punch of his would surely break half of their bones.

"What if we force you?" the stark-naked strong man roared: "Huh? Even if Li Mang and his ilk broke the rules, you just stay put and let us investigate thoroughly…… if it's the fault of our Six Paths Palace disciples, we will certainly not do anything to you……"

"I trust you, but I don't trust certain people within your Six Paths Palace." Wu Tie shouted sternly: "Lu Ji, what means do you have? Use them."

Wu Tie was merely holding onto a just-in-case thought……

Fighting, it's unbeatable.

If Lu Ji has no good ideas, then Wu Tie can only drag these unlucky Life Pool Realm masters along on the adventure.

Tsk…… Wu Tie gazed with ill intent toward the direction of Great Dragon City.

If we really need to self-destruct the bracer, should we run into the core area of Great Dragon City? Otherwise, this bracer, along with its resources and wealth inside, would truly be wasted.

Anyway, those who reasoned—Wang Si, Wu Ri, and Wang Wu—have left……

Wu Tie gave a dry cough, forcibly suppressing his mind, he discovered that he had arisen some thoughts too dangerous and inappropriate.

Lu Ji's hand suddenly pressed onto a red light point on the disc.

With a booming sound, the roar came from afar, the red light arrived before the roar.

In the direction of Great Dragon City, presumably where Wu Tie and company's hotel is, a fire cloud shot up extremely high, faintly one could see large chunks of huge rocks being flung up by the fire cloud, the alarm bells within Great Dragon City rang again urgently.

"I've liked researching strange things since childhood…… for example, this kind of 'Azure Flame Destruction Bomb'." Lu Ji said urgently: "I can control them from a distance of several hundred li; one Azure Flame Destruction Bomb can blast an area of several hundred meters in radius."

Lu Ji glared at the several pale-faced strong men and shouted sternly: "Fall back, do not pursue us, otherwise, the Azure Flame Destruction Bombs I buried in Great Dragon City number as many as three hundred eighty-nine…… enough to blast the entire Great Dragon City into ruins."

Several Life Pool Realm strong men glanced at each other, simultaneously exhaled, and turned and left without a word.

"Little dwarf…… we've remembered you…… next time, we'll skin you!"
