Chapter 128: Zhao Yuanjing's Shock!

Five days later.

Between a mountain range and a sea of forest, two figures, one in front and one behind, traveled rapidly through the thick mist.

The two were precisely Lu Zhangsheng and Zhao Yuanjing.

After five days of pursuit, Zhao Yuanjing still chased relentlessly, as if she would not rest until she had slain Lu Zhangsheng.

"Hoo..."

Sensing the sword Qi striking from behind, Lu Zhangsheng waved his hand and slashed backward.

As the Killing True Intent was stimulated, bursts of blood-fiend aura permeated the entire field.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A heaven-shaking loud sound, Lu Zhangsheng's Body Protection Gang Qi shattered again, turning into energy that swept in all directions.

Even the surrounding jungle was stirred up with layers of fallen leaves.

Immediately after, a huge counter-shock force struck.

Borrowing this force, Lu Zhangsheng rushed forward rapidly.

Soon, he escaped the range of Zhao Yuanjing's attack again.

Such scenes had occurred countless times in these five days.

Lu Zhangsheng had long since become accustomed to it.

His expression remained as calm as water, but his heart was full of murderous intent.

This demon witch was determined to exterminate him; once his strength improved in the future, he would definitely slay the other party.

His current strength was still a bit inferior to the other party's.

Forcibly fighting was of no use.

This woman was not only at the perfection of Tuotai, but the demon blood essence in her body was also perfectly compatible, reaching the level of a high-level demon servant.

Plus, this demon witch had also comprehended Martial Dao True Intent; her strength was considered an expert level in the entire Qingning Prefecture.

Zhao Yuanjing stared fixedly at the figure fleeing ahead, her face full of murderous intent.

After five days of pursuit, the other party's aura hadn't weakened in the slightest.

This made her feel bursts of chill in her heart.

Not only that, she discovered that this person's cultivation had not yet broken through to the perfection of Tuotai, and he did not have that mellow and unified artistic conception on his body.

This made her even more wary.

If the other party broke through again, he might be able to suppress her.

This was something she absolutely could not accept.

"Die for this Seat!"

Zhao Yuanjing roared, fully stimulating the blood essence in her body, and a powerful blood-fiend aura shot straight into the clouds.

Then she flapped her wings and arrived behind Lu Zhangsheng like lightning, thrusting out with her sword.

Blood-red sword Qi erupted suddenly from the tip of the sword, killing directly toward Lu Zhangsheng's back heart.

Danger, extreme danger! Sensing the sharp murderous intent behind his back, the hair all over Lu Zhangsheng's body stood on end, his expression incomparably solemn.

The other party's strike was the strongest strike Lu Zhangsheng had ever encountered in his life.

The other party had clearly consumed a large amount of blood essence, determined to exterminate him.

"Drink!"

Lu Zhangsheng did not dare to be negligent, fully erupting the blood essence deep in his chest, and under the stimulation of the secret technique, his aura climbed step by step.

The Gang Qi around his body also erupted with a pale golden luster.

Following this, he slashed backward fiercely with one blade.

Infinite killing intent appeared in the void, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were rising in the surroundings.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Both sides collided instantly, and violent roaring sounds resounded through the clouds.

Sharp energy splashed wantonly in the jungle, stirring up countless fallen leaves.

Even the ground seemed to have been plowed, with blade marks crisscrossing.

After one strike.

Lu Zhangsheng retreated more than ten meters rapidly, and the long blade in his hand was deflected.

The blood-colored sword Qi, after being blocked, also weakened quite a bit, and then slammed fiercely into Lu Zhangsheng's Body Protection Gang Qi.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The Body Protection Gang Qi shattered directly, turning into strands of fluorescent light that dissipated in the void.

Seeing the blood-colored sword Qi striking again, Lu Zhangsheng clenched his fist and fully stimulated the Indestructible Golden Body.

His entire body erupted with pale golden luster, extremely miraculous.

At this moment, the blood-colored sword Qi slammed into Lu Zhangsheng's chest.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Accompanied by bursts of metallic roaring sounds, the blood-colored sword Qi finally dissipated.

This fatal strike was finally blocked by Lu Zhangsheng!

The Indestructible Golden Body, this peerless cultivation technique, finally revealed its might.

After being weakened layer by layer by his blade technique and Body Protection Gang Qi, his own physical body was ultimately unharmed.

However, Lu Zhangsheng still sensed a strong stinging pain coming from his chest.

The Qi and Blood in his body surged crazily.

He took a few deep breaths to calm the Qi and Blood in his body.

Lu Zhangsheng's murderous intent became increasingly rich.

"This is impossible!"

Zhao Yuanjing was full of disbelief, as if turbulent waves were rising in her heart.

The fatal strike she had issued after consuming a large amount of blood essence had been blocked by the other party.

Looking at it, he didn't seem to have suffered any injuries, which made her somewhat unable to believe it.

"Such strong Body Protection Gang Qi, such a hard physical body."

This was the first time she had encountered such a person.

Presumably, in the entire Changping County, there was no one who could cultivate their defensive power to such a level.

This person was truly like a monster.

Lu Zhangsheng did not pay attention to this demon witch again and turned to rush rapidly toward the jungle ahead.

After a few flashes, he disappeared in front of Zhao Yuanjing.

Zhao Yuanjing watched Lu Zhangsheng's departing back quietly, her eyes full of wariness.

At this moment, she had to admit that she couldn't do anything to this person.

She had a premonition that in the future, the other party would likely be the greatest rival of her life.

A sense of urgency emerged from the depths of her heart.

Subsequently, Zhao Yuanjing also turned around and left toward the rear.

During the few days Zhao Yuanjing was chasing Lu Zhangsheng, the entire Changping County was stirred into a great uproar.

The scene of the two exchanging blows was also witnessed by many people.

Countless government martial artists were all shocked.

At the same time, many people were also somewhat worried about whether the mysterious strongman could escape this woman's pursuit.

A large number of heretic cultists were full of confidence, believing that their own Venerable Lord would definitely be able to slay this mysterious martial artist.

When the mysterious strongman took action again a few days later to slaughter a large number of heretic cultists, everyone finally reacted.

That Venerable Lord simply couldn't do anything to the other party.

This made everyone feel very surprised.

Even the group of heretic cultists surrounding Fulong Town had their momentum weakened a lot.

The deterrent power of an expert hidden in the dark was still incomparably terrifying.

Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

This day, around noon.

The warm sun was high, and the golden radiance scattered generously in a jungle.

Lu Zhangsheng leaned quietly behind a large tree, staring carefully ahead.

This location was not far from the outskirts of Fulong Town, so he could quickly know about any movement on the battlefield.

Ever since he escaped the pursuit last time, he had been wandering in the wilderness.

He would slay any heretic cult demon he encountered, showing no mercy.

His hands were stained with the fresh blood of a large number of heretic cult experts.

Not only that, Lu Zhangsheng discovered that as he slaughtered wantonly, his Killing True Intent was also rising slowly.

This made Lu Zhangsheng quite surprised.

Every slaughter would increase his blade technique's power by a trace.

"It seems that Killing True Intent is indeed born for the battlefield."

Lu Zhangsheng thought to himself.

Regarding the demon witch Zhao Yuanjing's plan, he could also roughly guess it.

It was nothing more than breaking through all the small towns outside the county city to force the government into a decisive battle.

Naturally, he would not let this demon witch have her way.

For the next few days.

Lu Zhangsheng had been hiding in the depths of the jungle, secretly monitoring the movement of the battlefield.

Until a morning half a month later.

"Woo..."

A deafening horn sound resounded through the clouds, also marking the eruption of the great battle between the two sides once again.

Experts from both the heretic cult and the government fought endlessly not far outside the city.

Infinite murderous aura shot straight into the sky, as if it wanted to cover the sky and block the sun.

The entire battlefield was filled with shouting, weapon collision sounds, and bone-shattering sounds, extremely tragic.

There were also full-sky arrow rains shuttling through the void, and the ground was soon covered with all kinds of corpses.

Zhao Yuanjing also engaged in battle with Wei Shaoxuan, and the two fought fiercely.

Violent energy swept in all directions, making many martial artists in the surroundings retreat one after another.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Zhangsheng took action directly. In this battle, he wanted to give the other side a fatal strike; only slaughter could calm the flames in his heart.

Following this, he fully operated Crossing the River on a Reed and rushed out of the dense forest, like lightning.

After a few flashes, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng swung his long blade and slashed forward fiercely.

Accompanied by residual shadows shuttling through the void, they intertwined with the sharp blade light to form a dense web.

He was like a death god descending, walking among the many heretic cultists; every time he swung his blade, someone fell.

Soon, a large amount of fresh blood flowed on the ground, and a rich bloody scent permeated the surroundings.

Lu Zhangsheng wore a white robe, his Body Protection Gang Qi erupted, blocking all the blood in the surroundings outside his body.

Because his speed was too fast, people couldn't see him clearly.

He was like walking in a sea of blood, carrying a sense of freedom in his slaughter.

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

A large number of heretic cult experts were full of fear.

"Hurry, dodge, this person's strength is extremely terrifying."

Seeing the other party slaughtering Holy Sect martial artists wantonly like cutting grass, everyone was directly scared out of their wits.

Their hands holding weapons couldn't stop trembling.

Their momentum even plummeted by a large margin.

The pressure brought by a top expert was still incomparably terrifying.

Not to mention that on the Holy Sect side, almost no one could block the other party.

Conversely, the many government martial artists were full of joy.

"Kill, kill all these heretic cultists."

Everyone's momentum soared, and their strikes became increasingly fierce.

Zhao Yuanjing in the distance was also full of murderous aura.

"Seeking death!"

However, at this moment, she was entangled by Wei Shaoxuan and could not free her hands.

Thinking that this person had repeatedly ruined her own plans, she felt incomparably hateful, and murderous intent surged in her heart.

Just at this moment.

In the jungle in the distance, an old man in black rushed toward the battlefield like thunder.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived not far to the side of Lu Zhangsheng, looking at Lu Zhangsheng with a face full of murderous intent.

"It's Vice Cult Leader Lei, we are saved."

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

As a Tuotai perfection expert, he would definitely be able to block this "Killing God" in front of them.

Lu Zhangsheng sensed the expert aura approaching, his expression flickering slightly.

However, this person did not bring any threat to him, clearly much weaker than Zhao Yuanjing.

With his strength, he did not fear the other party at all.

"Die for this Seat."

Seeing that the other party actually ignored him and was still slaughtering his cult members, Lei Yunfang couldn't help but be full of anger.

As a Tuotai perfection expert, when had he ever been looked down upon like this?

Although he had not yet comprehended Martial Dao True Intent.

He directly raised a bright silver giant hammer and smashed it fiercely toward Lu Zhangsheng.

"Hoo, hoo..."

The Gang Qi whistled, and even bursts of sonic booms came from the air.

Seeing the other party's attack, Lu Zhangsheng's expression remained as calm as water.

He stimulated his Killing True Intent and slashed forward with one blade.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Violent energy swept in all directions, and dust and smoke rolled in the surroundings.

After one strike, Lu Zhangsheng stood steadily in place, radiating a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

Lei Yunfang, this Vice Cult Leader, retreated two steps, full of terror.

In their first exchange, he had actually fallen into a weak disadvantage.

This made him somewhat unable to believe it.

That strike just now was already his full-force strike, yet it felt like hitting a great mountain, and a continuous counter-shock force came from the other party, making him quite uncomfortable.

The large number of heretic cult experts nearby were also full of terror.

Even the Vice Cult Leader couldn't suppress this person; now, no one could stop this mysterious strongman's slaughter.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

The many government martial artists cheered one after another, the momentum shaking the sky.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng ignored Lei Yunfang and raised his blade to rush into the heretic cult crowd again.

He slashed at anyone he saw.

As he swung his blade, only countless blade lights could be seen flickering in the void.

As one heretic cultist after another fell like wheat, Lu Zhangsheng's Killing True Intent was also rising slowly.

In just a few breaths of time, a large number of corpses were left on the ground.

A group of heretic cult martial artists fled in all directions like frightened birds, wishing they had grown two more legs.

Whoever encountered this star of disaster could only pray for their own good fortune.

"Stop!"

Lei Yunfang was furious and rushed toward Lu Zhangsheng again.

Lu Zhangsheng didn't pay attention to the other party at all, still immersed in the slaughter.

【Due to your wanton slaughter, you have realized the essence of Martial Dao True Intent; Killing True Intent progress plus one percent.】

【Killing True Intent progress plus one percent...】

Crisp notification sounds came to his mind.

I don't know how long passed.

A notification sound rang out again.

【Killing True Intent improved to two layers.】

Lu Zhangsheng finally "woke up" from the slaughter, a sharp light erupting in his eyes.

Within a radius of several miles around him, there were no heretic cultists left, only corpses all over the ground.

Everywhere were broken limbs and arms, as if it were a purgatory on earth.

Some government martial artists nearby looked at Lu Zhangsheng with faces full of awe.

This kind of terrifying slaughter was truly heart-trembling.

"Demon, this person is a demon..."

A large number of heretic cultists fled in all directions with faces full of terror.

At this moment, Lei Yunfang finally caught up, his eyes bloodshot.

In just a short moment, their Holy Sect martial artists had been slain by the other party in large numbers, and right under his own nose.

This was simply a great humiliation.

The other party didn't put him in his eyes at all.

"Die!"

He fully erupted the blood essence in his body and smashed his hammer forward.

A burst of Qi and Blood wolf smoke rose around his body, extremely terrifying.

For this strike, he was also truly angry, releasing his blood essence without regard for his life.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was calm, and he slashed out with one blade.

Extreme killing intent lingered on the blade, as if there were countless evil ghosts roaring.

He also erupted with his full strength.

Even the Killing True Intent that had just broken through to two layers was used by him.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Sharp blade Qi splashed wantonly in the void, dust and smoke rolled in the surroundings, and the ground was also cut with traces.

After one strike.

Lu Zhangsheng still stood in place, like a high mountain, difficult to shake.

Lei Yunfang retreated more than ten meters, his complexion turning pale.

"You were still hiding your strength just now?"

He was full of terror.

For this strike, he was completely unable to defeat the other party, and compared to when the two exchanged blows just now, his disadvantage was even greater.

The many martial artists around all stared fixedly at the two, their hearts shocked beyond words.

This mysterious strongman's strength was already second only to that Venerable Lord and the three Deputy Hall Masters.

"Retreat."

At this moment, Zhao Yuanjing in the distance saw this and used her full sword to force Wei Shaoxuan back, then retreated with a face full of unwillingness.

The many heretic cult experts and Lei Yunfang also fled toward the jungle in the rear, like a tide.

In just a moment, they disappeared from the battlefield.

"We won, we won."

A group of government martial artists cheered loudly one after another, the momentum shaking the sky.

Everyone looked at that white-robed figure with faces full of awe.

Lu Zhangsheng was indifferent, and without the thought of communicating with Wei Shaoxuan, he raised his blade and walked

He wore a white long robe, striding through the blood-stained battlefield, as if a saintly mortal exile had descended, his whole body exuding a sense of ethereal detachment.

One step taken was several meters away, and with a few flashes, he disappeared from the battlefield.
