146: Zhao Changsheng ran away!

“You!”

Zhao Changsheng’s words undoubtedly caused Zhao Xiao, the one from Tianling Academy, to have his blood pressure skyrocket.

Killing for fun?

Courting death!

Zhao Xiao’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and surging Blood Qi roared out in an instant.

His Bone Forging six-layer cultivation completely erupted at this moment.

A white jade-like luster constantly flickered beneath his flesh and blood.

Moreover, an extreme sense of oppression emanated from his body.

He thrust a punch forward, and Blood Qi, far exceeding five thousand points, instantly erupted.

Boom!!

The punch directly slammed onto the Black Absolute Grand Formation.

However, even though this person had broken through to Bone Forging six-layer during the assessment, he was still not strong enough to break through the Black Absolute Grand Formation’s blockade!

The Grand Formation rippled for a bit, then returned to calm.

The next moment, a black hand suddenly emerged from the Black Absolute Grand Formation and instantly landed on Zhao Xiao’s body.

Thud!

A muffled sound was heard.

Then, one could see Zhao Xiao’s entire body, as if it had been violently struck by a heavy truck.

He flew backward, crashing through two stone pillars before finally coming to a stop, his entire body seemingly broken, collapsing on the spot.

“This…”

Ye Fei and Yang Yun looked at this scene, their pupils slightly contracting.

One must know that although Zhao Xiao was only at Bone Forging six-layer, even Yang Yun might not be confident enough to defeat Zhao Xiao in one move.

But surprisingly, facing the power of the Black Absolute Grand Formation, Zhao Xiao was defeated so easily.

The power of this Black Absolute Grand Formation…

“The Black Absolute Grand Formation’s power has been accumulating for a month. With such a long period of accumulation, I’m afraid it has at least reached the Peak of the Bone Forging Realm.”

Han Bing looked coldly at the black barrier around them and slowly spoke.

These words caused Ye Fei and Yang Yun’s expressions to sink sharply.

The power of the Peak of the Bone Forging Realm?

Although they were all outstanding second-year students from various Martial Arts Academies, facing such terrifying power, they were still somewhat outmatched!

Even Han Bing was not confident he could withstand the Black Absolute Grand Formation’s power head-on.

“To survive, we can only join forces!”

Han Bing took a deep breath, his stern expression replaced by a look of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice.

Ye Fei and Yang Yun nodded.

Although they didn't want to admit it, in the current situation, if they didn't join forces, they would only be defeated one by one.

“Heh heh, actually, there’s another way to survive!”

Outside the Black Absolute Grand Formation, Zhao Changsheng’s voice slowly came, carrying a hint of playfulness.

“Hand over Old Man Nine Stars’s Legacy, and also the cultivation method of the Immaculate Golden Body!”

Zhao Changsheng’s words also caused the three’s hearts to sink slightly.

Han Bing and the other two exchanged glances.

“Which of you got the Legacy?”

Ye Fei suddenly spoke.

Yang Yun and Han Bing fell silent.

Seeing their reactions, Ye Fei also understood.

“So, you didn’t get the Legacy either??”

Ye Fei was a little surprised, then his gaze fell on Lu Sheng not far away.

He saw Lu Sheng sitting calmly on the ground. Perhaps sensing Ye Fei’s gaze, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

Han Bing and Yang Yun also reacted, their gazes similarly shifting to Lu Sheng.

“Lu Sheng?”

Outside the Black Absolute Grand Formation, Zhao Changsheng murmured slightly, looking at Lu Sheng.

The answer was already clear.

The Legacy was on Lu Sheng!

For a moment, Zhao Changsheng’s expression was slightly distorted.

“The Disciple of the Old Sword Saint…”

Zhao Changsheng murmured, and a strong hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes.

“I should have killed you in Yun City. Such talent… is truly a bit jealous-inducing!”

“No matter what, no matter how good your talent is, you can only obediently hand over Old Man Nine Stars’s Legacy now!”

Zhao Changsheng murmured, the intense jealousy in his eyes slowly dissipated, gradually becoming calm.

His gaze passed through the Black Absolute Grand Formation, falling on Lu Sheng, and he spoke indifferently.

“Lu Sheng, hand over Old Man Nine Stars’s Legacy, and I will spare your life!”

Within the faint voice, vaguely, a hint of killing intent gently rippled out.

Inside the palace, Lu Sheng heard Zhao Changsheng’s words and raised his eyebrows slightly. However, before Lu Sheng could speak, Han Bing spoke up from the side.

“You cannot hand it over!”

Han Bing looked at the Black Absolute Grand Formation with a gloomy expression.

“The Flawless Golden Body Technique is extremely important to Great Xia and must never fall into the hands of demon cultists!”

“Lu Sheng, if you are a Great Xia Martial Artist, do not hand over this Legacy!”

Han Bing scolded Lu Sheng.

Although Lu Sheng’s displayed talent and combat power had convinced Han Bing, Han Bing didn't truly understand Lu Sheng. What if Lu Sheng really handed over the Legacy to save his life? That would be bad.

“Noisy!”

Zhao Changsheng snorted coldly, and in an instant, that black hand once again emerged from the Black Absolute Grand Formation.

Carrying terrifying power, it fiercely slammed towards Han Bing.

“Hmph!”

Han Bing snorted coldly, his Bone Forging eight-layer cultivation completely erupting.

A black heavy sword appeared in Han Bing’s hand, and a profound Sword Intent roared out directly from Han Bing’s body.

Thud!!

The heavy sword swept horizontally, actually managing to block the black hand that was powerful enough to defeat Zhao Xiao.

At the same time, Han Bing also looked at Lu Sheng and said in a deep voice, “If we join forces, we still have a chance. There’s no need to hand over the Legacy!”

Ye Fei and Yang Yun also reacted at this moment, saying in a deep voice, “That’s right, this Legacy must never fall into the hands of demon cultists!”

Although they felt a little lost and even unwilling after learning that Lu Sheng had obtained the Legacy.

But it was better for the Legacy to be in Lu Sheng’s hands than in the hands of demon cultists.

On this goal, they were consistent.

“You guys… are truly noisy!”

Zhao Changsheng’s expression was cold. These three guys kept whispering these things into Lu Sheng’s ear, which also made Zhao Changsheng somewhat annoyed.

Perhaps Lu Sheng might choose to hand it over to save his life, but now their words could easily sway Lu Sheng’s heart.

A hint of killing intent emerged from Zhao Changsheng’s eyes.

“I said… when did I say I was going to hand over the Legacy?”

Suddenly, Lu Sheng spoke.

He looked at Han Bing and the other two with a strange expression.

“Did I say I was going to hand it over? Why are you three so agitated?”

In an instant, the palace fell silent.

A trace of awkwardness appeared on Han Bing’s face. He recalled the previous scene; it seemed Lu Sheng hadn’t said or done anything, yet they had been the first to jump out.

Now, thinking back, what was the difference between them and clowns?

Ye Fei and Yang Yun also exchanged glances, chuckled awkwardly, rubbed their noses, and lowered their heads.

Darn it, they really became clowns.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly at this, then shifted his gaze to the Black Absolute Grand Formation and said indifferently, “If you want to get Old Man Nine Stars’s Legacy, just come and take it.”

“The prerequisite is… you must have the ability!”

Within the faint voice, however, there was an extremely domineering Aura spoken by Lu Sheng.

Outside the Black Absolute Grand Formation, Zhao Changsheng’s expression also sank sharply upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words.

This was… not putting him in his eyes!

“Heh heh, as expected of the Great Xia Sword Saint’s Disciple, your words are indeed quite arrogant!”

Zhao Changsheng sneered, slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes, piercing through the Black Absolute Grand Formation, landed on Lu Sheng.

“To be honest, if I could have, I really would have wanted to kill you earlier, but it doesn’t matter now.”

“In this current situation, I can still kill you!!”

Zhao Changsheng’s voice contained an extreme killing intent.

“Anyway, even if I kill you, I still have a way to get Old Man Nine Stars’s Legacy!”

Zhao Changsheng let out a low chuckle, and his arm gently extended.

In an instant, the Black Absolute Grand Formation also seemed to sway with the movement of Zhao Changsheng’s arm.

Rumble!!

A series of roars echoed, and a massive arm suddenly shot out from within the black light curtain.

Within the arm, an extremely terrifying power was contained, as if it wanted to completely crush everything.

It surged mightily towards Lu Sheng.

“Be careful!!”

Han Bing couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this.

The power contained within the arm had reached an extremely terrifying level; even though he had already stepped into the eighth level of Bone Forging, upon sensing the power within the arm, he still couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.

However, just as his warning fell, that black arm had already approached Lu Sheng's body.

“Hmph, even if Wang Mu finds out, I will kill you here today. Prodigies... all deserve to die!!!”

A hint of morbid madness appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.

He watched as the black arm was about to land on Lu Sheng's body, and a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

However, this satisfied expression did not last long; it quickly stiffened.

“How is this possible!!!”

Zhao Changsheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He saw that in the palace, the seemingly fierce arm suddenly stopped.

Lu Sheng gently extended his palm, blocking it in front of himself and the black arm.

Just by doing so, the unstoppable black arm was actually blocked by the power of Lu Sheng's arm.

Furthermore, no energy fluctuations could be felt from Lu Sheng's palm.

He had actually blocked this terrifying attack purely with the power of his Physical Body.

Such terrifying Physical Body power... Zhao Changsheng's pupils trembled at this moment.

The last time he saw Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng was merely a young fellow in the Blood Refinement Realm, while he himself was already a Bone Forging expert.

Now, after only a short period of not seeing him, he had actually become a Martial Artist in the Bone Forging Realm, just like himself.

Even the power of the Black Absolute Grand Formation could be easily blocked, which was quite terrifying.

Not only Zhao Changsheng, but even Han Bing was stunned by the scene before him.

The power of this arm was so strong that even Han Bing wouldn't dare to say he could withstand it head-on, yet Lu Sheng not only blocked it but also easily stopped its power.

This was truly terrifying!

“This guy...”

Han Bing looked at the calm and composed Lu Sheng in front of him, and waves of emotion surged in his heart.

From the previous potential test and combat power test, he had been repeatedly struck by Lu Sheng.

And now, within the Black Absolute Grand Formation, he was once again struck by Lu Sheng.

This was... it simply made Han Bing feel numb all over.

He knew that the people of Star Academy were Prodigies, even more so than those from their Five Great Academies, but they couldn't be this prodigious, could they?

Seriously, you're only a freshman; how can you be so abnormal?

Han Bing shivered internally. Fortunately, Lu Sheng didn't need to participate in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination; otherwise, with Lu Sheng's strength, participating in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination would simply be a crushing blow to all the candidates of this year!

Han Bing couldn't help but sigh with emotion for the students taking the exam this year.

Lu Sheng held the black large hand, his expression incredibly calm. His gaze slowly looked towards the Black Absolute Grand Formation, his eyes seemingly wanting to penetrate the endless darkness and directly fall upon Zhao Changsheng outside the Black Absolute Grand Formation.

“So, I gave you over a month to prepare, and this is all the capability you have?”

Lu Sheng said softly, with a hint of disdain in his words.

“You...”

Zhao Changsheng was momentarily speechless, but facing Lu Sheng's words, he truly had no way to refute them.

“Since you've come, then obediently stay!”

Lu Sheng suddenly spoke.

Immediately after, one could see Lu Sheng slowly taking a step forward, his palm exerting a slight force, directly flinging out the black large hand.

Thump!!!

The large hand slammed heavily onto the Black Absolute Grand Formation. In an instant, the Black Absolute Grand Formation, which had been firm and unyielding, actually shook under the impact of the large hand.

“A small Formation, and it gave you courage?”

Lu Sheng said indifferently.

In his hand, the Dragon Slayer Sword slowly appeared.

In an instant, an extremely pure Sword Qi enveloped the Dragon Slayer Sword.

“This is...”

Han Bing looked at the Dragon Slayer Sword in Lu Sheng's hand, his pupils slightly contracting.

“This kind of Sword Qi, and Sword Intent...”

“This guy... has actually comprehended Peak First-Order Sword Intent!”

Han Bing exclaimed in surprise.

As a student of Profound Sword Academy, Han Bing was naturally no stranger to the Sword Dao Realm, especially since the headmaster of Profound Sword Academy was himself a top Swordsman of Great Xia.

What surprised Han Bing was the First-Order Sword Intent within Lu Sheng's body, which had already reached its Peak.

For Lu Sheng at his Realm to comprehend First-Order Sword Intent was not a difficult thing, but to raise First-Order Sword Intent to its Peak was not so easy.

Especially since Lu Sheng was so young; even Han Bing himself had not raised his Sword Intent to Peak First-Order!

Just as Han Bing was surprised, Lu Sheng had already slowly swung a sword towards the Black Absolute Grand Formation.

“Barren!”

The extreme Sword Qi seemed to want to completely annihilate everything.

Carrying extreme slaughter, it erupted in an instant.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Rumbling sounds echoed, and the Sword Qi furiously eroded, causing the Black Absolute Grand Formation to tremble again.

Only this time, the trembling caused cracks to appear on the seemingly unbreakable light curtain from before.

It seemed as if it would shatter directly in the next moment.

“Not good!”

Zhao Changsheng's face suddenly changed as he looked at the light curtain that had cracked.

“Escape!!!”

Without any hesitation, Zhao Changsheng instantly left his original position and ran towards outside the palace.

Rumble!!!

Rumbling sounds kept ringing out, and the black light curtain was also trembling violently at this moment, seemingly about to be unable to hold on.

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng had no desire to linger, speeding up and fleeing towards the outside.

Although the Legacy of Old Man Nine Stars was very tempting, in Zhao Changsheng's dictionary, life was the most important thing.

Any hint of danger that threatened him, Zhao Changsheng would leave without hesitation, even if it meant failing the mission.

This was his life's principle.

It was precisely because of this life principle that Zhao Changsheng was able to survive in the Demonic Sect and even survive the encirclement and suppression by Great Xia.

This time... was no exception!

Rumble!!!

The Black Absolute Grand Formation was still trembling continuously. In the next moment, a muffled sound suddenly exploded.

Immediately after, the black light curtain finally could not withstand this terrifying power and instantly collapsed.

It turned into pieces of black fragments, falling haphazardly to the ground.

The moment the light curtain shattered, the entire appearance of the palace finally came into everyone's view.

“Hmm? No one? Escaped?”

Lu Sheng stood in place, calmly looking in the direction outside the Black Absolute Grand Formation, but he didn't see any figures.

“This guy... sure ran fast!”

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of regret appeared.

“This guy ran away?”

Yang Yun and the others couldn't help but tremble when they saw the Black Absolute Grand Formation broken by Lu Sheng alone, but they quickly reacted and searched for Zhao Changsheng's figure, only to find nothing, just like Lu Sheng.

“If he ran, then he ran. As long as he is still in Great Xia, I will find him one day!”

Lu Sheng's gaze was incredibly clear, but within those clear eyes, a hint of killing intent flashed past.

The name Zhao Changsheng was already high on Lu Sheng's blacklist.

If given the chance, Lu Sheng would not hesitate to kill him.

“So what do we do now?”

Han Bing frowned slightly, glanced at the heads next to him, and his expression was not very good.

Lu Sheng said indifferently, “Since it's over, let's get out as soon as possible and inform our elders of the news.”

“The things the Demonic Sect has done, they will have to pay the price.”
