245: Kill the Emissary

Lu Ming held the Water Suppressing Spirit Talisman in his hand, feeling a cold touch from it. He stood above Greenwater Lake, looking at the swirling vortex below, and concentrated his Divine Sense to investigate, finally locating the Water Suppressing Formation.

With a slight thought, as a trace of True Qi injected into it, the metal surface of the Water Suppressing Spirit Talisman glowed faintly. As the light grew stronger, it seemed to merge with this world, and a massive amount of Spiritual Qi was invisibly drawn and gathered into it.

Lu Ming took a deep breath. He waved his hand and threw the Water Suppressing Spirit Talisman into the vortex below.

A flashing streak of light in mid-air rapidly fell and quickly submerged into the floodwaters.

"No effect?" Lu Ming frowned slightly, looking at the motionless vortex. However, in the next second, a change occurred.

Buzz!

A vibrating sound echoed in the air. As a vast aura emanated from the vortex, countless intricate patterns spread across the sky above the floodwaters, quickly engulfing the entire Greenwater Lake.

As the Water Suppressing Formation began to operate, its powerful Restriction force suppressed the surging floodwaters. The flood, which was at least a hundred meters high, quickly receded, returning to its normal state in just half an hour.

With the Greenwater Lake's floodwaters pacified, and having lost their source, the torrents flowing in other directions would also quickly recede.

After completing all this, Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the flood had subsided and the troublesome Demon had been eliminated, he was not in a hurry to return.

Standing in mid-air, he circulated his True Qi, letting his indifferent voice echo throughout this world.

"Come out!"

The voice resounded, but there was no response.

However, Lu Ming stood motionless in place, seemingly waiting for something.

Suddenly, in the air near a small mountain not far away, a large ripple surged in what was previously an empty space, and then a figure darted out from within.

The person evidently did not expect his whereabouts to be exposed. At this moment, he frantically urged the Spirit Treasure in his hand, trying to escape from this place.

However, after locking onto the figure's position, a cold smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips. Originally, he only had a vague feeling and thought of bluffing, but he didn't expect someone to actually be hiding.

With a flash of his figure, Lu Ming directly used his Wind Riding talent, rushing over at an astonishing speed.

Although the figure's speed was extremely fast, it was clear that Lu Ming, with his Wind Riding talent, was superior.

He stepped on the Void Realm, his body sweeping past like a gust of wind, appearing in front of that person in the blink of an eye.

In the opponent's horrified gaze, Lu Ming raised his hand and grabbed, his condensed True Qi transforming into an invisible palm, firmly grasping the person.

"Trying to escape? It seems a bit late!" A smile appeared on Lu Ming's face. He looked at the masked opponent, whose face was concealed, and then lifted the mask.

Beneath the mask was an ordinary middle-aged man's face. The only thing worth noting was the number twenty-seven branded onto the left side of his face with a hot iron.

"Who are you?" Lu Ming's gaze was cold. He easily suppressed the opponent who was about to lash out, then asked indifferently.

The middle-aged man in front of him had a cultivation at the Peak of the Limit Realm, but he had Cultivated a good stealth technique, which almost fooled even him.

After all, when he arrived, he had used his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings and had not found any clues.

However, it was clear that the opponent's stealth technique also had many limitations. Besides being unable to move during the spell, its duration was not long. Coupled with the flood subsiding and the surrounding Spiritual Qi stabilizing, this allowed him to discover a subtle abnormality.

The Qi Country's envoy now felt a myriad of regrets. He had promised the Zhao family to take Lu Ming's head, as a testament to their cooperation.

He never expected such a killing god to be hidden within Yunzhou's borders, who had consecutively slain two Demon Kings, and among them was the son of the Demon Monarch who cooperated with Qi Country.

However, no matter how much he regretted it now, it was too late. He feigned composure and said with a sneer, "You won't get anything out of me."

"Is that so?" The smile on Lu Ming's face grew even more intense. The scorching blood-fire energy in his palm seeped through the flesh, invading the opponent's Meridians.

The burning pain twisted the Qi Country's envoy's face, but even so, he held on, pressing his lips tightly together.

"You have a lot of backbone, but you should have seen the battle just now. You can certainly choose to die, but sometimes, death can be a luxury. You wouldn't want your Soul to be annihilated, without even a chance for Reincarnation, would you?" Lu Ming's eyes were sharp, and his tone carried an undeniable authority.

A faint light flickered from his palm. The Qi Country's envoy in front of him was not Kunwu, who possessed Dao Realm combat power. With just a thought, Lu Ming could strip his Soul.

In fact, by Cultivating the Nether Soul Devouring True Scripture, Lu Ming could refine not only the Souls of Demons, but any living being in this world could be refined by him to become part of his power.

The reason he only devoured Demons was because Lu Ming was unwilling to abandon his bottom line as a human. Of course, at this moment, he would not abandon it for the opponent either. It was just a scare; even if he extracted the Soul, he would not choose to refine it.

The Qi Country's envoy had also witnessed that terrifying scene firsthand. This person in front of him had directly devoured the Souls of two Dao Realm Demons. A hint of wavering couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Seeing the faint light getting closer and closer to him, he could even clearly feel the chilling coldness within it. Finally, unable to hold on, the Qi Country's envoy quickly said, "I'll talk, just don't kill me!"

Lu Ming eased his grip slightly. He helped the opponent straighten his collar and then said softly, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Tell me, who sent you?"

"I am an envoy from Qi Country. I came this time to persuade the various forces in Yunzhou to launch an attack from behind at the most critical moment. My presence here is due to an agreement with the Zhao family. Zhao Xiaotian wants me to bring him your corpse, only then will he fully cooperate with us and reach an agreement."

"The Zhao family?" Lu Ming frowned, and his heart immediately became alert.

He didn't expect that even after coming to Lianbo City, the other party wouldn't let him have peace of mind. After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ming looked up, his eyes like torches, and sternly pressed, "Tell me everything."

Having started, the Qi Country's envoy no longer had any burden and revealed everything he knew.

Understanding everything, Lu Ming's tightly furrowed brows deepened, and his expression became very serious.

He knew that if all this were to come to pass, even if Yunzhou was not lost, the Great Liang Kingdom's forces within Yunzhou's borders would suffer a great loss.

"In that case, you can go on your way." Lu Ming looked down indifferently. He had never said he would let the other party go. Since he already knew, he naturally had to cut the grass by the roots.

"You..." The Qi Country's envoy didn't expect Lu Ming to be so decisive. His eyes widened, filled with horror.

Before he could finish speaking, the Po Jun Long Saber in Lu Ming's hand suddenly struck down. With a flash of blood, the envoy's head flew off directly.
