Chapter 127: Traversing the Battlefield! Invincible Might!

As the Source Energy Points decreased by six thousand.

A wave from the netherworld descended into the depths of his mind again, as if a supreme expert was practicing the cultivation technique day and night.

【After your years of bitter cultivation, the Indestructible Golden Body has finally reached the Minor Accomplishment Realm.】

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Qi and Blood in his body surged crazily, like great rivers roaring.

His entire body radiated a pale golden luster, extremely miraculous.

A moment later.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light pierced the void.

He clenched his fist tightly, and his body seemed to possess infinite power.

After this breakthrough, his strength surged by about another double.

His speed, blade technique, and defense had all improved in all aspects by a large margin.

With his current strength, although he was still not as good as the demon witch Zhao Yuanjing, he could now contend with her.

Half a year ago, that sword strike from the other party, before she stimulated her demon blood essence, had already made it difficult for him to resist.

And the demonic power in this woman's body was far from what ordinary Protectors could compare to.

According to the classification of demon servants, the other party was at least a high-level demon servant.

As for demons, only martial artists in the Innate Realm could resist them; there were none in the entire Changping County.

For a period of time following this.

Lu Zhangsheng continued to wander in the wilderness, carefully ambushing that group of heretic cultists.

During this time, he encountered the demon witch Zhao Yuanjing several times, but he escaped easily each time.

This made Zhao Yuanjing gnash her teeth with hatred.

Yet she could do nothing to him.

At the same time, the pangolin's excavation in the Shiwan Dashan had not stopped either.

The resources in his hands were growing steadily.

Such days passed for another four months.

This day, late at night.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Deep in a dark jungle.

Lu Zhangsheng sat cross-legged on the top of a huge tree crown.

The bright moonlight scattered generously on Lu Zhangsheng's body, as if draping a layer of silver radiance over him.

His entire body radiated a sense of ethereal detachment.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air; the turbid air formed a sword, not dissipating even after several feet from his mouth, which was quite astonishing.

This was a manifestation of martial arts cultivation reaching a certain level.

His internal organs had already become powerful to a "non-human" state.

With a thought, he opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 5500.

After months of hard excavation, he finally gathered the Source Energy Points again.

Seeing the skills on the panel lit up again, he was quite delighted.

Now that the decisive battle was drawing closer, having more strength meant having more hope of survival.

Naturally, he would not choose to hold back.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately clicked on several major skills simultaneously.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by four thousand five hundred.

"Hum..."

A light humming sound came to his ears, as if an expert was practicing in his mind at all times.

【After your years of bitter cultivation, Sky-Splitting Strike, Body Protection Mystic Gang Qi, and Crossing the River on a Reed have finally reached the Minor Accomplishment Realm.】

A crisp notification sound rang out in his mind, and this upgrade was officially concluded.

Lu Zhangsheng took out his long blade and began to practice.

"Shoo..."

He kicked off with his feet and rushed out rapidly.

Following this, he swung his blade and slashed forward.

"Hoo..."

As Lu Zhangsheng slashed repeatedly in the void, the entire jungle was filled with blade light, and countless residual shadows shuttled through the surroundings, intertwining with the blade light to form an extremely miraculous scene.

The fallen leaves in the surroundings also began to spin crazily, surrounding Lu Zhangsheng tightly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Lu Zhangsheng's Body Protection Mystic Gang Qi erupted suddenly, pure white Gang Qi circling his body, ripples of light flowing on it, his aura sharp.

After this skill breakthrough, his strength increased by another margin.

After testing his skills, Lu Zhangsheng leaped up, jumped onto a tree crown, and began to close his eyes and rest.

The night passed without incident.

In the next few days, Lu Zhangsheng began to take action frequently, slaughtering that group of heretic cultists in large numbers around Fulong Town.

During the half year of Lu Zhangsheng's breakthrough, the government and heretic cult forces engaged in bloody fighting one after another around Fulong Town.

After the incident with the traitor Gong Zhangfeng, the Demon-Suppressing Division dispatched experts to provide support once again.

The strength of both sides became balanced again, and the atmosphere in the entire Changping County became increasingly strange.

Around noon.

Inside a bamboo building in a dense forest, Zhao Yuanjing sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes full of murderous aura.

"Reporting to the Venerable Lord, this person is becoming increasingly unscrupulous in slaughtering our Holy Sect members..."

A man in black knelt on one knee, full of awe.

"Hmph... I will take action personally; this time he won't be able to escape. You all monitor this person closely."

Zhao Yuanjing's tone was extremely cold.

Over the past half year, the other party had crazily slaughtered her cult members, making people in the cult feel panicked.

Even her prestige had dropped a lot.

This made her hate this mysterious strongman to the extreme.

However, fortunately, she had sought a speed treasure from the Heavenly Demon Gate, which was enough to catch up to the other party.

This person's death date had arrived!

Four days later.

Around noon, in a jungle more than ten miles outside Fulong Town.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A small force from both sides was fighting to the death in the dense forest.

The movement of the six people fighting was the most intense.

The three heretic cultists were precisely the two heretic cult Protectors Yan Kaiyun and Ying Wuya, plus the traitor Gong Zhangfeng.

The people fighting these three were precisely three late-stage Tuotai experts from the government.

The six were fighting fiercely in the center of the open space, energy splashing wantonly in the surroundings, and many martial artists retreated one after another.

Just at this moment.

A white figure rushed rapidly toward the distance, like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ying Wuya and the others, and subsequently slashed forward with one blade.

Brilliant blade light flickered in the void, as if it wanted to slash through everything, its momentum fierce and incomparable.

"Not good, it's that mysterious strongman!"

Yan Kaiyun and the others were full of shock and anger.

Over the past half year, because the other party frequently ambushed them, many heretic cultists hated him to the extreme.

Yet they had no way to deal with this person.

There was no one in the entire cult who had such speed.

Even the three government experts were shocked, turning their heads to look at the newcomer.

"Swish..."

In an instant, the blade light arrived in front of Ying Wuya's chest, carrying sharp murderous intent.

Ying Wuya was full of fear, a death aura surging into his heart, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Before he could react.

"Crack..."

The brilliant blade light instantly passed through his chest, and his entire body was directly slashed into two halves, a large amount of fresh blood gushing out, leaving the ground in a mess.

One sneak attack, Ying Wuya dead!

This famous second Protector of the heretic cult had fallen here just like that.

If it weren't for Lu Zhangsheng's sneak attack, the other party might have been able to block a few moves.

This was Lu Zhangsheng's strength after his breakthrough; it was already not something these Protectors could block.

"Not good, this person's strength has made another breakthrough!"

The remaining Yan Kaiyun and the other person were full of fear.

They did not expect that in just over half a year, the other party's strength had actually surged by another large margin.

This was simply too terrifying.

A large number of heretic cult experts nearby looked at Lu Zhangsheng with faces full of terror.

Their legs began to tremble, and the other party's blade had long since scared everyone out of their wits.

The many government martial artists were also shocked to the extreme.

That brilliant blade light was difficult to look at directly.

Even the three late-stage Tuotai government experts felt quite in awe in their hearts.

This kind of strength had completely surpassed them.

In the entire Changping County, it was likely among the very top tier.

All of this happened in an instant.

"Run!"

Yan Kaiyun and the other person slashed with all their might to push away their respective opponents, then turned their heads and fled toward the rear.

Their speed was like thunder, and in a few breaths, they disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

The two were very smart, and even their escape routes were dispersed, presenting one left and one right.

Lu Zhangsheng smiled coldly.

He immediately operated the Crossing the River on a Reed movement technique and chased rapidly after Gong Zhangfeng.

Each step was more than twenty meters, traveling through the dense forest like lightning. After a few flashes, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

With his speed after the breakthrough, it was completely incomparable to what Yan Kaiyun and the other person could achieve.

It was only a few breaths.

Lu Zhangsheng arrived not far behind Gong Zhangfeng.

He held his long blade, his expression very cold, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"Bastard, why don't you go and chase Yan Kaiyun!"

Gong Zhangfeng was full of fear, and he cursed angrily in his heart.

At this moment, he even felt some regret for defecting to the demons and heretics.

Having offended this star of disaster, it was difficult to escape at this moment.

"Die."

Lu Zhangsheng was full of grimness, slashing forward with one blade.

Sharp blade light flickered in the void, its momentum fierce and incomparable.

For traitors, he hated them the most; this person must die without a doubt, and no one could save the other party.

Sensing the terrifying blade light striking from behind, a death aura surged into his heart.

Gong Zhangfeng was scared out of his wits and hurriedly turned around to block with his blade.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two long blades collided fiercely, and sharp energy splashed wantonly.

Lu Zhangsheng's long blade directly deflected the other party's weapon, and then he slashed out a second blade rapidly.

As the blade light erupted, the momentum increased by another margin.

"Not good."

Gong Zhangfeng used all his strength to slash forward again, his heart incomparably terrified.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Gong Zhangfeng's long blade was broken open again, and before he could react, a bright blade light instantly slashed across his neck.

"Swish..."

Gong Zhangfeng clutched his neck, slowly falling backward, his head rolling to the side, his eyes still wide open, dying with an unfulfilled wish.

Three blades, Gong Zhangfeng was slain.

From Lu Zhangsheng's strike to the other party's fall, it was not even a single breath.

Seeing this, the group of heretic cultists nearby were so scared that they fled in all directions, like frightened birds.

Following this, Lu Zhangsheng, under the awe-filled gazes of the many government martial artists, rushed rapidly toward Yan Kaiyun's direction.

Chasing all the way along the jungle.

After just a moment, Yan Kaiyun's back was clearly visible.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately accelerated his footsteps, and after a few flashes, he arrived not far behind this person.

Sensing the abnormality behind him, Yan Kaiyun was full of fear.

"So fast? That fool Gong Zhangfeng couldn't even block a few breaths."

As early as when the two fled, he saw Gong Zhangfeng being chased and killed, and he was even somewhat complacent, thinking he was safe.

He did not expect the other party to be such trash, unable to even persist for a while longer.

"Die."

Lu Zhangsheng arrived rapidly behind Yan Kaiyun and slashed out.

Sharp blade light flickered at the tip of the blade, carrying cold murderous intent.

For this strike, he directly stimulated the blood essence and secret technique in his body.

His attack power had reached the limit.

"He cannot block this blade!"

Yan Kaiyun was full of fear, bursts of death aura surging into his heart, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Kill."

He rose to resist, fully stimulating his demonic power.

Evil runes covered his entire cheeks, and blood-fiend aura soared into the sky.

Then he turned around and also drew his blade to slash forward.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Following the heaven-shaking loud sound, Yan Kaiyun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body retreating rapidly, slamming fiercely into a large tree.

The entire large tree was uprooted, which showed how terrifying this force was.

After one strike, Yan Kaiyun was already heavily injured.

His complexion was even more incomparably pale.

"So strong."

Yan Kaiyun's eyes were full of disbelief.

Not long had passed, yet the other party's strength had actually surged again; he was simply like a monster.

Just at this moment.

A blood-red figure rushed rapidly toward this place, her speed like thunder.

"Venerable Lord, save me."

Seeing the newcomer, Yan Kaiyun was full of joy.

Finding life in the midst of death, he was incomparably excited in his heart.

Although the other party's strength was strong, he couldn't possibly be the Venerable Lord's match.

But before he could be happy for long, a sharp blade light slashed over instantly.

He hurriedly drew his blade to block, but it was to no avail.

He had already suffered heavy injuries; he could not block this blade! "Crack..."

With a light sound, a huge head instantly shot into the sky, blood gushing like a fountain, staining the surrounding ground red.

The first Protector Yan Kaiyun died.

More than half of the ten great Protectors had been slain by Lu Zhangsheng.

A few breaths later, Zhao Yuanjing also arrived in front of Lu Zhangsheng, her face as cold as frost.

She also did not expect that someone would dare to slay a Holy Sect Protector in front of her; he simply didn't put her in his eyes.

A burst of anger instantly erupted.

At this moment, she only wanted to beat the person in front of her into a pile of minced meat.

"Boy, you are truly bold; I let you escape last time, and you thought you could contend with this Seat?"

"Today, I will extract all the bones from your body..."

Zhao Yuanjing's tone was incomparably cold, as if she were a demon from hell.

Immediately after, she thrust her sword forward suddenly.

Sharp sword light shuttled through the void, bringing bursts of whistling sounds.

Lu Zhangsheng felt that he had been firmly locked on by murderous intent, but he was not panicked in the slightest.

He kicked off with his footsteps and retreated rapidly, like a startled swan.

This lightness skill, Crossing the River on a Reed, was stimulated to the limit, already surpassing the vast majority of Tuotai perfection experts.

This kind of speed likely possessed a trace of the might of an Innate expert.

With his own strength, he also couldn't slay this demon witch Zhao Yuanjing, and fighting her was useless.

Lu Zhangsheng directly chose to retreat.

"Still want to run?"

Zhao Yuanjing sneered and directly stimulated the secret treasure in her body.

"Zzz..."

A pair of transparent wings instantly appeared on both sides of her shoulders.

The wings were as thin as cicada wings, radiating faint light, and when spread, they were only about a zhang long.

With this assistance, Zhao Yuanjing's speed surged by a large margin.

In just an instant, she arrived not far behind Lu Zhangsheng.

The terrifying sword edge also pointed directly at Lu Zhangsheng's back heart.

Sensing the cold murderous intent behind his back, Lu Zhangsheng's expression flickered slightly.

He did not expect the other party to have found a strange treasure.

Seeing that it was difficult to escape easily, he did not hesitate, immediately turned around, and slashed forward with one blade.

"Hoo..."

Accompanied by bursts of whistling sounds, the brilliant blade light shuttled through the void, radiating an extreme sense of killing intent.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The blade light and sword edge collided instantly, and strong energy swept in all directions.

Even the ground was cut with traces, and the entire battlefield was in a mess.

After one strike, Lu Zhangsheng retreated more than ten meters rapidly, the Gang Qi around his body directly shattered, and his complexion also turned somewhat pale.

He had blocked that full-force strike from the other party.

Although he suffered some shock in his body, the impact was not large.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanjing was full of terror.

Not even a year had passed, yet the other party was actually able to steadily take her angry strike.

This was simply a fantasy.

At this moment, even a trace of chill rose in her heart.

This growth speed was too terrifying.

If this person improved again, he might be able to steadily suppress her.

This was something she absolutely could not accept.

"Today, you must die."

Zhao Yuanjing's tone was incomparably grim, murderous intent surging in her eyes.

Lu Zhangsheng ignored the other party and operated his movement technique again, rushing toward the jungle in the rear.

Although this demon witch was strong, it was absolutely impossible for her to slay him.

The Source Energy Points in his hands were quite sufficient; he could fight fiercely for more than ten days in a row.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng flee, Zhao Yuanjing chased after him again.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, wantonly escaped into the endless jungle.

Every time Zhao Yuanjing caught up, Lu Zhangsheng would quickly take action to block, then turn around and flee again.

The aftermath of the two exchanging blows was extremely terrifying, and a large number of trees were uprooted by the energy.

Everyone nearby looked at the two with faces full of shock.

This kind of combat scene was truly too terrifying, already approaching the level of the few Deputy Hall Masters in Changping County.
