Meanwhile, Master Fa Zhen and the others were also getting a headache.
They never expected Lu Ming to actually be a disciple of that damned Qingshan Sect.
Hailing from ancient powers themselves, they knew all too well about those few fellows from the Qingshan Sect.
They were all scoundrels—unreasonable, shameless, and fiercely protective of their own.
What if those old coots found out that they had bullied their disciple?
They would surely turn their entire worlds upside down!
But then again, didn't the Qingshan Sect dissolve after they left to establish their sect back then?
Furthermore, those disbanded disciples were strictly forbidden from calling themselves Qingshan disciples ever again.
How could a Qingshan Sect disciple suddenly appear now?
And this disciple was exceptionally talented; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to master the Qingshan body refining technique.
They knew very well that the Qingshan Sect's body refining technique was notoriously difficult to train!
But once mastered, it was incredibly formidable!
“We must kill him. We cannot let those scoundrels find out about this, or we will face endless trouble in the future...”
Baili Mo sent a sound transmission to the other two.
“Agreed!”
“Amitabha!”
Yan Linglong and Fa Zhen nodded in agreement.
Immediately after, the three intensified their attacks, striking with even greater ferocity.
Baili Mo's gaze was cold and sharp as a chilling light surged from the broadsword in his hand.
Even though his cultivation was heavily suppressed by the rules, his foundation was still that of a true Half-Immortal.
His blade momentum remained incomparably overbearing. With a single slash, a void-tearing blade qi flew straight toward Lu Ming's face.
Beside him, Yan Linglong was enveloped in a billowing demonic mist. Pushing her demonic secret arts to their absolute limit, she hurled a sphere of black light at Lu Ming.
The old monk Fa Zhen wore a compassionate expression, yet the Buddhist beads in his hand shone with a brilliant golden light.
A massive character for “Buddha” descended from the sky.
Though the Buddhist light shining down appeared gentle, every single strike was lethal.
The combined assault of the three created layers upon layers of deadly intent.
Meanwhile, Lu Ming's mind was entirely occupied with Huang Tianbao's safety.
He didn't dare to hold back in the slightest. Facing their onslaught, a decisive and fierce look flashed through his eyes.
His peak Soul Transformation stage cultivation erupted to its absolute limit without reservation!
The dantian inside his body spun frantically, greedily absorbing the surrounding yin energy to replenish his reserves.
Holding Ye Fan in one hand like a brutal weapon, his body transformed into a streak of azure lightning as he charged straight at Yan Linglong.
He funneled his spiritual energy into Ye Fan's body.
Black light erupted from Ye Fan, and the aura of an Earth-tier immortal artifact surged into the sky.
“Immortal Lump, smash this woman to death for me!”
Lu Ming roared, swinging Ye Fan like a club toward Yan Linglong.
Immortal Lump?
Hearing Lu Ming's nickname for him, Ye Fan nearly exploded with rage.
He wished nothing more than to slaughter Lu Ming on the spot.
However, after a brief hesitation, he realized now was not the best time to stab him in the back.
Thus, he cooperated with Lu Ming perfectly, channeling his towering fury as he smashed toward Yan Linglong.
He had to vent his anger on someone, after all!
Seeing the light surging from Ye Fan and sensing his powerful aura,
“An Earth-tier immortal artifact?!”
“An immortal artifact!”
“Amitabha!”
Yan Linglong, Baili Mo, and the others widened their eyes and gasped in shock.
Although they didn't understand why this immortal artifact was spewing black smoke, there was no doubt it was indeed one.
It was even Earth-tier. If not for the black smoke and its rough, ugly appearance, they would have suspected they had encountered an Immortal Saber.
At the exact moment they cried out in shock, Lu Ming waved his hand, and the Weapon Vault soared into the sky.
It instantly sucked in the broadsword in Baili Mo's hand and the Buddhist beads in Fa Zhen's hand.
Following that, it also sucked in the weapons of the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals, sparing only Big Yellow and his companions' weapons.
This series of actions was executed in one smooth, lightning-fast motion.
None of them even had time to react.
They never expected Lu Ming to possess two immortal artifacts!
By the time they snapped out of it, Lu Ming was already swinging Ye Fan down toward the crown of Yan Linglong's head.
Seeing this, Yan Linglong's pupils constricted, and her face filled with sheer terror!
This was an Earth-tier immortal artifact; a single strike from it would be devastating.
Would she even be able to survive?
Terrified, Yan Linglong hastily activated her protective demonic armor.
A dark, demonic light wrapped tightly around her body.
Boom!
The durable demonic armor shattered inch by inch, completely unable to withstand the strike.
After obliterating Yan Linglong's armor, Ye Fan continued on, smashing straight into her head.
Splat!
Without even uttering a scream, Yan Linglong died on the spot, her eyes wide with lingering shock.
This scene sent shockwaves through the entire battlefield.
It was an especially massive blow to Baili Mo and the others.
Yan Linglong was a Half-Immortal!
Yet, she had met such an ignominious end here.
If they were in the outside world, even ten Lu Mings would have been no match for her!
“Amitabha. The heavens cherish all life. Why must you be so merciless, Benefactor Lu?”
Master Fa Zhen said, pressing his palms together.
“Hmph! The heavens cherish all life, but I'm not the heavens. I don't cherish a damn thing!”
Lu Ming sneered, raising his hand to recall the Weapon Vault.
Having eliminated Yan Linglong and disarmed Fa Zhen and the others,
Lu Ming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the weapons of the Ghost Kings and Huangpu Tao had also been confiscated,
Huang Tianbao and Man Xiong had a much easier time now.
Master Fa Zhen choked on his words upon hearing Lu Ming's reply.
Look at that... He really is from the Qingshan Sect. Just as obnoxious and unreasonable as those other fellows.
He was completely unreasonable!
Fa Zhen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
“Benefactor Lu...”
“Noisy!”
Lu Ming barked. We're in the middle of a fight! What's the point of preaching?
In the next instant, he suddenly accelerated, swinging Ye Fan straight at Fa Zhen.
Master Fa Zhen's expression shifted. How can this guy be so shameless and strike without warning?
He quickly formed the Immovable Root Seal and chanted a mantra, causing a brilliant golden light to burst from his body.
A protective barrier of Buddhist light expanded outward, with golden patterns weaving together like an inverted golden bell, shielding him securely in the center.
Boom!
Lu Ming swung Ye Fan violently against Fa Zhen's barrier.
Ripples spread rapidly across the surface of the shield. Fine sweat beaded on Fa Zhen's forehead as his arms steadily maintained the hand seal.
Seeing that the barrier had blocked the attack, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he shouted to Baili Mo, “Baili Mo! Why aren't you attacking yet? If I die, you won't survive either—”
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly went wide.
He saw the Weapon Vault in Lu Ming's other hand smashing down toward him.
Boom!
The barrier exploded violently. Caught off guard, Fa Zhen took the full force of the blow. His chest collapsed instantly, and he spat out a large mouthful of golden Buddhist blood.
The Zen body and protective light he had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years were utterly shattered. He died on the spot under Lu Ming's strike, his soul annihilated along with his physical body.
Boom!
At that exact moment, Lu Ming sensed a terrifying, imminent danger.
Upon hearing Fa Zhen's shout, Baili Mo had seized the opening while Lu Ming was focused on the monk.
Without the slightest hesitation, he had launched a fatal strike at Lu Ming.
Though Lu Ming sensed the danger, it was already too late to react!
A cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes as he muttered to himself:
In a situation like this, how is a protagonist like me supposed to survive?
Whoosh!
Splat!
A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and warm blood splattered all over Lu Ming's face.
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed. He saw Xue Wuchang collapsing into a pool of blood.
Xue Wuchang opened his mouth with difficulty. “Great Sect Master, thank you for sparing my life back then!”
“Xue Wuchang!”
Lu Ming's pupils dilated as he cried out in shock!
He never expected that Xue Wuchang would be the one to save him!
“Ah! I'm going to kill you!”
At that moment, Feng Qingqing's eyes turned blood-red, and she charged frantically at Baili Mo like a madwoman.
