220: The "trump cards" of both sides

Seeing Xuanyuan Sect being suppressed, everyone, although also under the Spiritual Might, felt very pleased.

They had always looked down on those who broke their word!

Lu Ze slowly lifted his leg and stood in front of Xuanyuan Sect.

His sword was raised, its tip pointing downwards.

Xuanyuan Sect looked up at the sharp sword, a sneer playing on his lips, “Lu Ze, do you know what place this is? This is Shennong City, a Human Base, the place where the Rookie Competition is to be held. If you harm me in the slightest here, do you understand what price you will pay?”

At this moment, everyone’s expressions changed, afraid that Lu Ze would get into trouble for harming Xuanyuan Sect, and they all began to persuade him.

“Lu Ze, he is Xuanyuan Sect, the most watched person of the Xuan Yuan Family in this generation! You should be clear about the Xuan Yuan Family’s influence. If you harm him, even if your teacher is Revered Cheng Ran, it’s hard to guarantee that you won’t be secretly targeted by their Family!”

“Yes, yes, do you know that their Xuan Yuan Family has a secret art that can change others’ luck? If you harm him, those old monsters of the Xuan Yuan Family might come out to avenge him. At that time, even if they can’t catch you, they will make it difficult for you to advance in cultivation!”

“Lu Ze, calm down. We also feel it’s unfair for Qu Hongxi, but we must act according to procedure. If you stop now, we will go find Director Meng and Revered Cheng Ran. They are currently in charge of Shennong City’s affairs and will certainly not let him off. Why must you insist on personal revenge?!”

Listening to everyone’s voices, the smile on Xuanyuan Sect’s face grew wider, even with a hint of playfulness, “Lu Ze, do you see? They are all advising you not to harm me. Will you listen to them?”

Lu Ze’s expression remained unchanged, and the sword in his hand suddenly and firmly dropped downwards!

“Boom!”

A sound like a massive bell echoed from beyond the Nine Heavens, and a powerful Qi surged forth, forcefully intercepting Lu Ze’s sword!

Lu Ze’s Spiritual Might was also directly shattered in that instant!

“You brat!”

An ancient voice drifted over, “How dare you harm a member of my Xuan Yuan Family?!”

“This is… the Void Realm power of an Eighth-Rank expert?!”

“I told you Xuanyuan Sect was protected by the Xuan Yuan Family! This kid is actually blessed with such power!”

“This is bad! Things are bad! Quick, quick, go find Director Meng and Revered Cheng Ran! Otherwise, Lu Ze won’t survive today unscathed!”

The few people who could move immediately surged with Spiritual Qi and flew towards the Demon Subduing Division. They all didn’t want to see anything happen to Lu Ze!

Lu Ze gripped his sword, looked up at the sky, “Who are you?”

“Heh heh, you are not worthy to ask for this old man’s name! You brat, you are so reckless today, daring to try and harm my Xuan Yuan Family descendant, truly deserving of death!”

The voice, like rolling thunder, boomed forth, “However, this is Shennong City, so this old man cannot kill you with one palm. But I will take one of your legs, to teach you a good lesson! In the future, when you see someone from my Xuan Yuan Family, you will avoid them!”

The moment these words fell, the previously dim sky suddenly turned pitch black.

Dark clouds continuously gathered in the night.

“Boom! —”

Thunder erupted, constantly surging in the clouds, churning ceaselessly.

A powerful force locked onto Lu Ze at this moment.

The System also issued a warning at this moment.

The System prompted: Host has been targeted by an Eighth-Rank cultivator! Please, Host, take emergency evasive action! Or spend 120,000 Demon Points to activate a shield and block the incoming attack!

Lu Ze had already prepaid 100,000 Demon Points; how could he still produce 120,000 Demon Points to activate a shield?

However, he was not worried, because within his body, there was a Sinner waiting to occupy his body!

If he died now, wouldn’t all the Sinner’s aspirations come to naught?!

Lu Ze showed no fear, turning his body to face the sky, gripping his sword in his right hand, and the power of Myriad Things Grow slowly rose around him.

“You brat, you do have some courage!”

From above the sky, a somewhat approving remark was cast down, “However, you deserve this fate!”

“Boom! —”

The roaring thunder exploded in the sky, its sound instantly piercing through the entire Shennong City!

Many ordinary people trembled with fear from the enormous thunder, and all the cultivators present changed their expressions.

Just the sound of thunder had already projected immense Spiritual Qi cultivation. If this strike truly landed on Lu Ze, he would likely be in critical condition.

From above the sky, all the lightning suddenly converged, forming a lightning pillar ten meters thick.

The lightning pillar moved rapidly, appearing directly above Lu Ze.

A powerful force instantly surged onto Lu Ze’s body. The few people close to Lu Ze were so pressured by this force that they spat out blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Under the enhancement of Myriad Things Grow’s power, Lu Ze barely maintained his posture, but his face was also very pale, and sweat continuously streamed down his forehead.

“You brat, from now on, repent for what you have done today!”

As the ancient voice fell, the lightning pillar instantly struck down, aiming directly for Lu Ze.

“Boom, puff, puff! —”

Violent sounds continuously rang out, and the surrounding air seemed to be crushed by the lightning, breaking apart inch by inch.

Many people closed their eyes, not daring to watch what was happening below.

Most of them still had some fondness for Lu Ze, after all, Lu Ze was the only one among them who dared to stand up and question Xuanyuan Sect, and even wanted to seek justice for Qu Hongxi.

Only now, with an Eighth-Rank cultivator behind Xuanyuan Sect who had locked onto Lu Ze, it was feared that this respected person would pay a tragic price with this strike.

“Boom!”

The lightning pillar descended in an instant, completely engulfing Lu Ze!

The roaring thunder lasted for a full minute before disappearing, and the lightning pillar slowly faded away.

The dazzling lightning prevented everyone from seeing the figure within.

And above the Nine Heavens, the ancient voice suddenly let out a questioning remark, “This is… what’s going on?”

Everyone sensed that something was wrong and quickly opened their eyes wide, staring at the slowly disappearing lightning pillar!

As the lightning vanished, Lu Ze still stood calmly in place, his body upright, looking proudly at the sky above.

“Heh, as expected…”

Lu Ze chuckled softly, saying indifferently, “Xuanyuan Sect, you have someone behind you, do you think I have no one behind me?”

The Void Realm behind Lu Ze began to gently tremble, and a figure slowly emerged from it, landing in front of Lu Ze.

A cold voice, enough to chill the earth, said, “Xuan Yuan Family, do you intend to challenge my bottom line, or to challenge my Cheng Family’s bottom line?!”

“Revered Cheng Ran!”

Someone instantly recognized the figure who had arrived!

Revered Cheng Ran’s three thousand strands of hair were held in place by a wooden hairpin, and she held a long sword in her hand, standing in front of Lu Ze, her eyes filled with Killing Intent, staring directly at the sky.

“Get down here, now!”
