Chapter 126: Breakthrough to Mid-Stage Tuotai! Killing True Intent!

"Want to run?"

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was cold, and he raised his blade and rushed up rapidly.

Each step was more than ten meters, traveling through the dense jungle like lightning.

After a few flashes, he arrived behind the three Protectors, Luo Hongzhi and the others.

"Not good, this person has such astonishing speed!"

The three Protectors, Luo Hongzhi and the others, were full of terror.

At this moment, their faces were covered in blood-colored runes, and murderous aura rose around their bodies.

Clearly, they had stimulated the demon blood essence in their bodies, but they did not expect that they were still far inferior to the other party in terms of speed.

"Everyone, let's fight to the death; if we keep running, there is only a dead end."

Luo Hongzhi's face was full of solemnity.

With the other party's speed, they couldn't escape at all; dispersing would only lead to death faster, so it was better to join forces to face the enemy and wait for experts to rescue them.

After Ge Fei and Xin Shaoqi looked at each other, they stopped.

The three stood on a lawn, fully erupting the demon blood essence in their bodies.

Strands of blood-fiend aura permeated the entire field.

The bodies of Luo Hongzhi and the others also changed instantly, and a pair of blood-red thin-film wings appeared on the arms of the three.

Even their momentum surged by a large margin.

At this moment, a large number of heretic cult experts and government experts also stood around the edge of the jungle, staring fixedly at the few people in the open space.

"With the three Protectors joining forces, they will definitely be able to block this person; when the experts of our Holy Sect arrive, the other party will only have a dead end..."

The many heretic cultists were full of confidence.

Looking at Lu Zhangsheng, their eyes were full of murderous intent.

Regarding this mysterious strongman, they all hated him incomparably.

This person had killed who knew how many of their cult members, and he had long been on the Holy Sect's must-kill list.

A group of government martial artists also clenched their fists, looking at that mysterious strongman with faces full of anticipation.

At the same time, they were also somewhat worried in their hearts; the few late-stage Tuotai experts of the heretic cult were likely on their way.

They did not know if the other party could handle it.

Just as everyone had different thoughts, the battle on the field erupted again.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng took the lead, raised his blade, and rushed up rapidly.

In an instant, he arrived in front of the three and slashed forward fiercely with one blade.

"Swish..."

Accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, an extremely bright blade light appeared in the void.

Immediately after, the blade light and residual shadows shuttled around the three, forming a large net, firmly surrounding the other party in the center.

Sensing such terrifying momentum, Luo Hongzhi and the others did not dare to be negligent, waving their weapons to kill their way forward with all their might.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Infinite blood-fiend aura collided with the snow-white blade light, and energy splashed wantonly in the surroundings, and even the ground crumbled.

"Shoo..."

Lu Zhangsheng operated his movement technique to the extreme.

As he swung his blade, only residual shadows could be seen, not his person, and the blade light surrounding the three became increasingly terrifying.

His aura was still climbing step by step.

Luo Hongzhi and the others were firmly suppressed in the lower position.

"Not good, this person is too strong; the three Protectors probably won't be able to hold on for long..."

The many heretic cultists around were full of terror, as if turbulent waves were rising in their hearts.

They also did not expect that in such a short time, the other party's strength had actually increased so much.

Even with the three Protectors fully erupting their demon blood essence, they were not this person's match.

"So strong."

A group of government martial artists were also full of excitement, staring fixedly at the battlefield ahead.

If the battle situation developed like this, these three heretic cult Protectors would undoubtedly die.

"Everyone, let's fight for our lives."

A hint of despair appeared on Luo Hongzhi's face, and he roared loudly.

He felt as if his own body was in a blade domain, surrounded by endless blade light.

And his aura was still climbing.

If this continued, the three of them would sooner or later die without a whole corpse.

"Kill."

Hearing this, Ge Fei and the other person looked at each other, immediately stimulated the blood essence in their bodies, and a blood-colored wolf smoke shot straight into the sky.

The entire battlefield was filled with a nauseating bloody scent.

The three directly began to fight for their lives.

Seeing this, Lu Zhangsheng's expression remained as calm as water.

With a thought, he directly stimulated the "Blood Pill" that radiated golden light deep in his chest.

Ever since the one hundred drops of blood essence turned into this "Blood Pill," he had never erupted with full force.

As the Threefold Wave secret technique was stimulated.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

An extremely powerful Qi and Blood shot straight into the sky, as if even the clouds in the high sky were stirred.

Wind and clouds gradually rose in the surroundings, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust.

"Die."

Lu Zhangsheng swung his long blade and slashed forward fiercely.

A brilliant blade light instantly erupted on the field, firmly surrounding the three in the center of the open space.

"Not good."

Sensing a death aura descending, Luo Hongzhi and the others were full of fear.

The three tried their best to resist the blade light in the surroundings, like a small boat in a storm, ready to capsize at any time.

Both sides fought fiercely on the grass.

As time passed.

The aura of Luo Hongzhi and the others gradually weakened, while Lu Zhangsheng fought more bravely as the battle went on, like a god of war.

The three could only struggle to support themselves in the sea of blades.

"Is this person's essence and spirit truly infinite?"

Luo Hongzhi's eyes were full of unwillingness, and bursts of chill rose in his heart.

"My life is over!"

Ge Fei and the other person also roared repeatedly, and under the pressure, they couldn't kill their way out at all.

Just when the three were in despair, three figures suddenly rushed rapidly from the depths of the jungle ahead.

The aura of the three was as deep as an abyss or the sea, extremely terrifying.

"Protector Yan, save me quickly!"

Seeing the newcomers, Luo Hongzhi and the others were instantly full of joy.

Finding life in the midst of death, a powerful belief rose in their hearts.

With the strength of the newcomers, they would definitely be able to slay the person in front of them.

The three newcomers were precisely the heretic cult's first and second ranked Protectors, plus Gong Zhangfeng.

Seeing this, the many heretic cult experts were full of joy.

"It's the Great Protector and the others; this person is dead for sure."

This group's momentum rose again, sweeping away their previous decline.

Many government martial artists around revealed a trace of worry in their eyes.

Three late-stage Tuotai experts were absolutely a terrifying force.

Apart from the few top experts in the county city, it was difficult for anyone to resist them.

This mysterious strongman was likely in danger.

If this genius were to fall here, it would also be a huge loss for the government.

Yue Shulan and Tong Yuhua and the others hid in a corner, their expressions also extremely worried.

"Stop immediately!"

Seeing that the three were about to be unable to hold on, Yan Kaiyun roared loudly.

The loud voice resounded through the clouds, bringing a powerful sense of oppression.

Lu Zhangsheng smiled coldly.

The long blade in his hand accelerated again, and a brilliant blade light flickered in the void.

He slashed rapidly toward the three ahead, his momentum astonishing, as if he wanted to slash through everything.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by three shrill screams, Luo Hongzhi and the others were directly slashed at the waist, a large amount of fresh blood gushing out, staining the surrounding grass red.

The upper bodies of the three were still struggling to crawl on the ground, their eyes full of unwillingness.

With such heavy injuries, even an Innate expert could not survive.

One blade, three Protectors dead!

After finishing all this, Lu Zhangsheng carried his long blade on his shoulder, looking at the front with an expression as calm as water.

"This person is truly seeking death."

Seeing that the three Protectors had actually been slain, the many heretic cultists glared with anger.

Half of the Holy Sect's Protectors had been slain by this person, and this time it was right in front of Yan Kaiyun and the others.

On the outskirts of the jungle, the group of government martial artists felt even more gratified; these three notorious people were finally going to die.

However, some people still had some worries on their faces.

Yan Kaiyun and the others were not to be trifled with.

"Boy, you are dead for sure; even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he cannot save you..."

A moment later, Yan Kaiyun brought the other two to a spot not far in front of Lu Zhangsheng, murderous intent chillingly cold.

It was as if even the air was filled with chill.

The three also did not expect that the other party would show no mercy, completely ignoring them.

This made the three feel a great insult.

As top experts of Changping County, when had they ever been looked down upon like this? "A group of demonic heretics, are you worthy of letting me show mercy?"

Lu Zhangsheng looked straight ahead, his tone understated.

With his strength, he did not fear these few people at all.

He had long since verified the defensive power of his own Body Protection Mystic Gang Qi; today was just the right time to test it.

"How bold! Slay this person immediately!"

Yan Kaiyun and the others were instantly furious, as if fire was about to erupt from their eyes.

Gong Zhangfeng and Ying Wuya also raised their respective weapons and rushed up.

The three immediately arrived around Lu Zhangsheng, surrounding him in the center.

At this moment, they only wanted to torture and kill this arrogant person in front of them.

Luo Hongzhi and the others had not yet completely died, and the vigorous vitality of martial artists instead brought them endless pain.

"This person is dead for sure, dead for sure!"

Luo Hongzhi's tone was incomparably grim, staring at Lu Zhangsheng with a face full of resentment.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng immediately operated his Body Protection Mystic Gang Qi, and a pure white Gang Qi cover instantly covered his entire body.

There were strands of light flickering on it, quite miraculous.

Following this, he swung his blade fiercely and slashed forward.

Sharp blade light gathered on the blade edge, as if it wanted to slash through the void, the aura extremely terrifying.

"Die."

Yan Kaiyun and the others were equally unwilling to be outdone, waving their weapons to kill forward fiercely.

Infinite blood-fiend aura intertwined on the battlefield, stirring up layers of fallen leaves in the surroundings.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, both sides collided directly.

Violent roaring sounds resounded through the clouds, and energy splashed wantonly in the surroundings, cutting gullies into the ground.

After one strike.

Lu Zhangsheng performed the Thousand Jin Drop, landing steadily on the grass, radiating a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

Not even a ripple appeared on the Gang Qi cover.

Clearly, it was still far from reaching its limit.

Yan Kaiyun and the others also landed on the ground, looking at the person in front of them with faces full of terror.

"Such strong force! Such solid defensive power!"

Just now, that strike felt like they had collided with a great mountain.

The surging counter-shock force struck like sea waves, making the few quite uncomfortable. "This person's strength is not below ours."

Yan Kaiyun's eyes were incomparably solemn, no longer possessing the confidence from just before.

Three against one, they hadn't gained the upper hand; it was simply unbelievable.

Some heretic cultists nearby were also full of terror, their eyes wide open.

This kind of scene was something everyone had never expected.

"Good, well done."

The many government martial artists cheered excitedly one after another, shouting loudly.

Everyone also did not expect that this mysterious strongman could actually fight one against three without falling into a disadvantage.

Luo Hongzhi and the others, who only had half their bodies left, were also full of unwillingness, wailing crazily on the ground.

Given this situation, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to avenge their grudge.

Not long after, with full resentment in their hearts, their breathing gradually stopped.

Soon, they completely lost their breath, and a generation of Protectors died as a result.

"Immediately stimulate the demon blood essence and slay this person."

Yan Kaiyun's eyes were incomparably grim.

This person's threat was too great; every time he appeared, his strength would surge.

Today, they must exterminate the other party in this place.

"Kill."

The three looked at each other, their faces instantly covered in blood-colored stripes, looking extremely evil.

Clearly, all of them had begun to fight for their lives, and the demon blood essence in their bodies had been stimulated to the limit.

Following this, Yan Kaiyun and the others rushed toward Lu Zhangsheng again.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng was equally unwilling to be outdone, fully stimulating the blood essence and Threefold Wave secret technique in his body.

A wolf smoke of essence and spirit shot straight into the sky.

He flashed his footsteps, arrived at the side of the three, and slashed forward with one blade.

Boom, boom, boom...

Both sides engaged in fierce combat in the open space.

Sharp energy splashed wantonly, grinding the surrounding branches into powder, and some martial artists nearby retreated one after another.

Everyone's expression was incomparably shocked; this kind of combat scene was second only to those few top experts.

Time passed slowly.

The great battle between the two sides had already lasted for half an hour.

Lu Zhangsheng, relying on the blood essence and Body Protection Mystic Gang Qi in his body, firmly resisted the attacks of the three.

As the long blade in his hand danced, it became increasingly smooth, as if it were natural.

Yan Kaiyun and the others' expressions, however, were becoming increasingly solemn; after they stimulated their demon blood essence, they still couldn't suppress the other party.

And this turtle shell in front of them couldn't be broken at all, making the few very uncomfortable.

The many heretic cultists nearby were also full of disbelief.

They no longer had the composure and calmness from just before.

Now, they almost held no hope for whether Yan Kaiyun and the others could slay the other party.

Conversely, the group of government martial artists were all incomparably excited, their momentum soaring.

Yue Shulan and Tong Yuhua and the others had light flowing in their eyes, staring fixedly at the battlefield.

I don't know how long passed.

Lu Zhangsheng was still immersed in the ocean of blade techniques, his strikes becoming increasingly free and easy, as if he were enjoying this battle.

In the netherworld, he seemed to touch some kind of rhythm of the blade technique.

It was as if a peerless blade master was traveling through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with lotus flowers blooming at every step.

Countless demons and ghosts had become souls under his blade, completely unable to block his footsteps.

The killing and overbearing intent within the blade technique became increasingly rich.

【Detected that the host has comprehended the true intent of the blade technique; recording now...】

At this moment, a crisp notification sound rang out in Lu Zhangsheng's mind.

Lu Zhangsheng, who was in the middle of battle, was completely awakened.

He didn't have time to think too much and instinctively slashed forward with one blade.

This blade seemed very ordinary, and not even a trace of air was shaken.

"What blade technique is this?"

Yan Kaiyun and the others were full of terror; the few felt a great threat.

That was the taste of death.

The three did not dare to be negligent, fully erupting their blood essence, their combat power sublimating to the extreme.

Subsequently, they joined forces to slash forward.

Brilliant blade light intertwined with murderous aura, as if there were countless evil ghosts roaring within it.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A heaven-shaking loud sound came, and layers of air waves rose in the surroundings.

Yan Kaiyun and the others suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, retreating more than ten meters.

After landing on the ground, they were full of shock.

"Impossible! You are not at the perfection of Tuotai; how could you comprehend the true intent of the blade technique?"

The blade the other party just used was clearly the power of Martial Dao True Intent, although it was still very weak.

But it absolutely could not be wrong.

The three joining forces couldn't match the other party at all, yet now they were beaten to the point of vomiting blood; the person in front of them must have had the blessing of Martial Dao True Intent.

The group of heretic cultists around all widened their eyes, full of terror.

The battlefield changed too fast; in this instant, everyone hadn't reacted.

The three Protectors had fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

Even the many government martial artists were full of disbelief.

They did not expect that this mysterious strongman's blade technique had made another breakthrough.

Just when Lu Zhangsheng was preparing to take action again, a sudden change occurred.

He saw a blood-red figure in the distance rushing rapidly toward this place.

After a few flashes, she arrived in an open space, as fast as lightning.

The newcomer was precisely this demon witch Zhao Yuanjing.

This woman wore a mask, her figure was extremely seductive, radiating infinite charm.

"Venerable Lord, this person is extremely strange."

Yan Kaiyun and the others bowed, full of awe.

At the same time, the few also felt a sigh of relief in their hearts.

If the Venerable Lord hadn't come, they could only fight to the death.

"I see your talent is astonishing; how about joining my Holy Sect? There are countless beauties inside for you to choose from..."

Zhao Yuanjing twisted her waist, full of coquettishness.

Her tone carried extreme teasing.

"Are you also for me to choose from?"

Lu Zhangsheng stood in place, his expression as calm as water.

"You have a big appetite, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death."

Zhao Yuanjing's gaze tightened, murderous intent erupting in her heart.

She did not expect that the other party would actually dare to tease her; it was simply bold and daring.

How many years had it been since anyone dared to speak to her like this? "Then I'm sorry, I'm used to being free and loose, and I can't be a running dog for demons."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled coldly.

"Die for this Seat!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Yuanjing was instantly annoyed and embarrassed, and she thrust her sword forward.

Sharp sword Qi whistled in the void, as if it also carried a will that could devour the soul.

"Is this Martial Dao True Intent?"

From the moment the other party appeared, Lu Zhangsheng felt that he had been firmly locked on.

This woman was absolutely the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.

He did not dare to be negligent, fully erupting the blood essence in his body, and slashed forward with one blade.

Endless killing intent lingered on the blade, his momentum surged by a large margin, and the blade light was extremely brilliant.

"Killing True Intent?"

Zhao Yuanjing was also full of disbelief.

She was all too familiar with this fluctuation.

She did not expect that the other party had comprehended Martial Dao True Intent before reaching the perfection of Tuotai.

Such a genius figure, if he couldn't be subdued, he could only be slain with full force.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A heaven-shaking loud sound came, and countless energy swept in all directions.

"This demon witch has such strong strength."

Lu Zhangsheng felt an extremely powerful force strike, his Body Protection Gang Qi directly shattered, and his entire body retreated rapidly.

Borrowing this force, he immediately operated his movement technique and rushed toward the rear.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the battlefield.

His strength was several grades lower than the other party's, so he could only choose to retreat.

Zhao Yuanjing also operated her movement technique and chased after him, as fast as lightning.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, gradually disappeared into the jungle.

The many martial artists nearby had not yet recovered from the shock just now.

They stared blankly in the direction where Lu Zhangsheng disappeared.

"The other party was actually able to take a strike from the Venerable Lord head-on..."

Yan Kaiyun and the others were also full of solemnity.

Lu Zhangsheng sensed the person chasing behind him and was not panicked in the slightest.

He fully stimulated his lightness skill, Crossing the River on a Reed, and his whole person traveled through the vast heaven and earth.

"Such astonishing speed."

Seeing that even she couldn't catch up, Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help but be shocked.

Not only that, the distance between the other party and her was gradually widening.

She had no choice but to stop and watch the other party's departing back quietly.

Cold light flickered in her eyes.

"Sooner or later, I will kill you."

Half a day later.

Dozens of miles east of Fulong Town, in a jungle.

Lu Zhangsheng leaned quietly against a large tree.

Looking at the changes on the panel, his expression flickered slightly.

He saw that another column had been added under the skills.

Martial Dao True Intent: Killing 【One Layer】.

Just now, his blade technique's power surged; presumably, it was because of this true intent.

This change made Lu Zhangsheng quite delighted.

Not only that, there was also a gray plus sign behind the Killing True Intent.

In the future, as long as there were massive resources, he could pile it up all the way.

The obstacle to the Innate Dao had completely disappeared.

For the next four months, Lu Zhangsheng had been wandering outside the city; apart from killing some heretic cultists, he went deep into the mountains to excavate spiritual objects.

This night, late at night.

In a jungle somewhere.

Lu Zhangsheng sat cross-legged and opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 6800.

After months of hard excavation, he finally gathered the resource points again.

The plus sign behind the cultivation technique was also lit up.

He did not hesitate and immediately clicked toward the Indestructible Golden Body.
