Chapter 143: Three Strikes!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Buzz—

The golden glint in his eyes disappeared.

The world before Lu Ming suddenly returned to normal.

His heart ached a little when he glanced at his Original Card. After confirming that it was not damaged, he heaved a sigh of relief. That d.a.m.n Elder Lunar Shadow almost did him in!

He did not have a Sword Embryo!

Hence, he could not accept the legacy and could only use his body to endure it!

However, when he could no longer endure it, a wild idea struck his mind. He used the Original Card as if it was a Sword Embryo, which resulted in the current scenario before his eyes.

The Original Card inherited everything that should have been done so by a Sword Embryo!

Sword Aura!

Tempering!

…

Of course, an ordinary Original Card could not endure all these.

However…

Lu Ming’s Original Card had undergone a unique transformation after Brother Cat gnawed on it. It had also been through various tempering and even absorbed the entire fourth mountain directly. It had long mutated!

It actually withstood the legacy!

It then became even more powerful!

Now.

His Original Card was actually comparable to a Sword Embryo!

No.

It might even be stronger than the Sword Embryo of an ordinary Swordsman!

Oh.

Lu Ming rubbed his head. His thoughts were in mess now.

Sword Aura…

Sword Moves…

Sword Intent…

Various kinds of knowledge appeared. This was the most precious wealth of Lunar Shadow legacy. The move that he made earlier was the only ability that he could understand — Moonblade.

Three-star peak!

Surmounting ability?

With full moon as the main ability and mental strength as the supporting one, the Sword Aura’s speed was increased tremendously. Like the full moon, the Sword Aura slashed across some of the enemies’ vital points at lightning speed!

However…

He was not sure whey it actually became Z-shaped lightning when it was cast by the Original Card!

Could it be due to his disc-shaped mental state?

He did not know.

However…

The curve of the Full Moon was not very different from the Z shape of the lightning. It was just that the exterior appearance looked different. Lu Ming did not think much of it either.

His actual ability was three-star peak.

Oh, wrong. It was a quarter of ‘three-star peak’, the type in which the energy was miserably low. It was only a quarter of that of the ordinary cultivator at its peak.

However, although it was only a quarter, it was still three-star peak!

Therefore, the powers released from him were naturally three-star peak!

Coupled with the surmounting ability from the Lunar Shadow legacy, his strange and mysterious disc-shaped mental state and the mutated Original Card, it resulted in that mind-blowing scene.

Surmounting levels and last-gasp kill!

…

“I’ve actually become that powerful?”

Lu Ming was excited.

He had skipped a level!

Four-star!

He could actually engage in combat with someone at a higher level!

Earlier on, he was already very satisfied to have advanced rapidly to three-star peak during the Lunar Shadow legacy. After all, he was a Card Creator and was contented with gradually increasing his energy after he returned to reality.

He had never thought that attaining the Lunar Shadow legacy would actually give him the ability to engage in combats at a higher level!

Furthermore—

He could kill a four-star in seconds!

These Swordsmen did not possess any legacy and had lived in seclusion for many years. They had never come into contact with the outside world. Hence, they might have weaker combat abilities than ordinary Swordsmen. However, they were still four-star!

He could actually beat them!

He could boast about this for life already!

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

The Original Card flew past.

His fingers danced as he looked at the Original Card which was spinning in his hands. Due to the rapid speed, he could actually see some afterimages, as if countless Original Cards were stacking on top of one another.

It looked beautiful and surreal.

It was just that…

What was he considered now?

Card Creator?

Swordsman?

Additionally, under such circ.u.mstances, could he still inherit a Card Creator legacy? He heard that some ancient Card Creator legacy was extremely powerful…

Would there be any conflict then?

Forget it.

He put away these thoughts temporarily.

Lu Ming was clear-minded. He had to leave this place first…

Shush.

Lu Ming took a step forward and his legs wobbled. He simply dropped to the ground. He could hear loud booming noises and everything before him looked blurry. Even the sun looked green in color…

Oh.

c.r.a.p!

His body was drained…

The Moonblade’s depletion rate was too horrifying. Given Lu Ming ‘quarter’ standards, naturally, he had been fully drained. Not a bit of this mental state and energy was left!

Now, he did not have anything that he could use to regain his energy…

Lu Ming took a few whole minutes to gradually come to his senses.

“It seems that I can’t use the Moonblade hastily.”

Lu Ming had a lingering fear in his heart.

Fortunately, there was no one else!

If he were to encounter an enemy now, he would have to plead for mercy.

He should leave as soon as possible.

However…

Just as Lu Ming got up and turned around, his heart turned cold. There was really a cultivator behind him! A four-star Swordsman who was quite powerful was staring at him!

c.r.a.p!

There was someone!

He was done for!

Lu Ming’s heart sank.

Four-star!

Another four-star!

If he had encountered him before he erupted, he might be able to put up some struggles. However, he actually appeared when he was at his weakest state!

Run?

His legs still felt a little wobbly.

Fight?

Did he even have the energy to retaliate?!

What to do?

At this moment, countless ideas flashed across his mind.

Right.

Brother Cat!

At this moment, he had to request Brother Cat to take action.

His mind glanced across the Sea of Consciousness and discovered that the black cat was still sleeping soundly. Oh, perhaps he had eaten too much earlier to be in such a deep slumber…

He couldn’t care less. He had to wake him up first. At most, he would be dealt with later on!

Hence…

He faced the black cat and gave it a hard stroke.

…

Of course.

This merely happened in his mind.

On the surface, he wore the familiar and harmless expression of a Card Creator. He even gave a faint smile, the type that only revealed eight teeth. It was a perfect smile.

However…

Never did he expect…

Along with his smile, a terrified expression emerged on the face of that Swordsman. He actually fled immediately!

“Help!”

It was a miserable cry.

That Swordsman fled rampantly.

Lu Ming was dumbstruck. He turned back but did not see anything appearing? What did this guy mean? Was there something on his face?

He touched his face. Nope.

However…

He was unaware of something.

That Swordsman turned back to take a glance, shrieked loudly and quickened his run.

It was too ghastly.

It was true!

Zhang Erliang and the group had not returned for a long time and he came to report some news. He then witnessed this horrifying scene — Zhang Erliang and all those Swordsmen were dead!

All the corpses were lying on the floor and blood was flowing like a river!

And that guy…

That guy called Lu Ming…

He was actually slumped on the ground in front of a corpse. He had no idea what Lu Ming was doing?! When Lu Ming turned around, he saw a smile that was filled with a b.l.o.o.d.y smell!

Those traces of blood…

Was Lu Ming sucking blood when he was lying down on the ground just now?!

Oh my goodness!

What kind of living creature was this guy exactly?

He was certainly not human!

The most horrifying thing was that, when he turned around, Lu Ming looked like he was touching the bloodstains on his face, seemingly finding it a pity to waste those blood…

It was extremely frightening!

d.a.m.n it!

He had to tell everyone about this!

This guy must be a reincarnation of some horrifying beast!

Right, he certainly was. Otherwise, how could a two-star Card Creator kill so many four-stars!

Run! Run! Run!

Whoos.h.!.+

His figure disappeared.

…

Lu Ming felt ridiculous.

However, since this guy had escaped, he did not need Brother Cat’s help then. He glanced around to see if there was anyone else and quickly fled from the place. He had to leave this place first!

And right then.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the black cat was awoken in a daze.

Was there danger?

It could not be. If there was grave danger, it would definitely be able to sense it…

Shus.h.!.+

His thoughts swept across and confirmed that Lu Ming was not in any danger.

No danger?!

Why did you call me if there was no danger?!

Were you just stroking me?

If it had not been busy absorbing energy, Lu Ming could not even go near it. And now…

Bam!

Bam!

The black cat flung its tail.

It was infuriated.

Really.

He felt that Lu Ming was going increasingly overboard!

In the past, at least he had a reason. Now, he seemed to be used to stroking it. He actually stroked it without any apparent reason. Although it felt quite comfortable sometimes…

But he was too much!

Bam!

Bam!

It flung its tail around.

And revealed the tooth that had just recovered.

Super fearsome!

Snort! Snort!

When you come here again next time…

…

After a long time…

Someone appeared in the forest.

Their gazes swept across the corpses and they trembled violently.

How could this be…

Six-star Elementalist, Niu Xinghai and even that five-star Card Creator… All of those who were a threat were being watched by five-star and six-star!

They were not in this location at all!

How did Zhang Erliang die then?!

Who killed him?

However, they knew that something terrible was going to happen.

Zhang Erliang’s ident.i.ty was special. He was part of the minority who had a non-Swordsman profession and he was Elder Zhang’s grandson. This time, he specially came to help!

No one expected him to die here!

True enough.

When the news was spread, everyone exploded.

“It seems that… These a.s.sistants… have many secrets.

I should have long guessed. If I did, Erliang would not have died…

Now… There is no need to be merciful…

Brother Erliang’s records stated that the legacy is with one of those five people. From now onwards, find ways to force out from them the whereabouts of the legacy.

Those a.s.sistants… shall be killed without mercy!”

One by one, orders with murderous intent were pa.s.sed down.

The entire island was in action.

Initially, the Swordsmen who planned to capture the a.s.sistants carefully were now exuding strong murderous auras. All of a sudden, Niu Xinghai and the group’s situation had become very dangerous.

…

“d.a.m.n it! Did these people become crazy?”

Niu Xinghai’s expression changed drastically.

These Swordsmen suddenly seemed like they had been injected with hormones. The had turned into crazy demons. As soon as they saw someone, they behaved like dogs seeing meat buns – pouncing on and rampantly tearing at them.

Careful?

d.a.m.n.

It was fearful that something must have happened.

Niu Xinghai yelled in his heart. Old Zhao, d.a.m.n. Can you quickly get out… I can’t hang on any longer!

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

Beams of sword gleams flashed.

…

Somewhere.

An array was s.h.i.+mmering in the sky. Gao Xiaoqing appeared behind a reef by the seaside, looking a little unkempt. She looked far. The energy barrier was still around.

She could not leave this place at all!

What could she do…

Gao Xiaoqing was a little worried.

She could still escape if she were to rely on the array. However, her brother had been captured and she had to think of a way to save him!

However…

How could she save him?

Oh.

That horrible creature landed and smashed the island, killing a large number of six-star Swordsmen. Therefore, they were so relaxed now. If there was chaos again…

Right.

Chaos!

There had to be more chaos!

She would then have a chance to save her brother!

Gritting her teeth, Gao Xiaoqing slashed and injured her arm.

Drip!

Drip!

Blood was dripping constantly.

A gush of strange herb fragrance was emanating.

Gao Xiaoqing immersed her arm into the sea. That blood full of herbal scent was combined with the seawater, pervading the endless sea and diffusing…

She did not know if this would work!

Anyway…

She would know after she gave it a try!

…

In the water surrounding the scattered isles.

An idea crept to the mind of the five-star Card Creator, who was underneath the water.

When he saw the situation, the cards in his hands dissipated and he returned into the waters again. That card released a surge of energy bubble that surrounded him. He could actually survive in the waters!

They were mad!

They were mad!

These natives were mad!

If they felt that they could survive by some luck earlier, now, they dared not allow themselves to be caught at all!

If they were captured…

They would be dead meat!

…

Somewhere.

The six-star Elementalist’s gaze was focused.

He did not know why these natives suddenly turned crazy. He could only hide now… If he were to kill this batch of them, a bigger batch would come!

This place…

Although one batch of six-star Swordsmen was dead, there would be other batches!

Especially—

There were two six-star peaks!

If he was discovered by them, he would be dead meat!

“I hope that Xiaoxuan can hang on.”

He sighed.

Right now…

They could only wait.

Wait for the opportunity to shatter the energy barrier and send messages to the outside world!

After all, the Elementalist was very experienced. Very soon, he had an idea.

Sigh…

He did not know if those Swordsmen would join forces. Although the possibility was low, if Gao Tianlang, Lu Yan and the group of Swordsman could cooperate to attack the barrier…

He should find a chance to save them first.

Whoos.h.!.+

His figure disappeared from the spot.

…

At this very moment…

Lu Ming was hiding in the forest.

The natives of the island suddenly turned hysterical. Occasionally, he could hear some information from the conversations during the chase — Gao Tianlang and the rest had already been captured and the a.s.sistants were hiding with much difficulty. At this rate, they would be killed soon!

And his sister…

Lu Ming was a little worried.

Although his sister was very powerful, she was ultimately a five-star Swordsman. She was already very powerful to be able to skip a level and killed a six-star in seconds. However, if she was in a direct confrontation with a six-star peak…

What did a six-star peak mean?

Cultivators who could attain seven-star would be stuck at this level for life!

It was possible that they had already acc.u.mulated more than ten years of cultivation experience!

Especially—

Someone of Elder Xu’s age.

Therefore…

It was already very good that his sister could persist for so long.

It was just that…

How much longer could she persist?

He heard that that Elder Xu had been chasing his sister…

He had to think of a way!

Oo…

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Burial Mound Card?

He vaguely remembered that when the Demolition Card appeared, he saw the sea cows coming… Although they escaped later on after being frightened by that humongous guy, it proved to be very effective.

However…

Given his current ability, he could at most cast the Burial Mound Card once. Without the support of the seventh mountain, how much power could the Burial Mound Card unleash?

Could it really affect the six-star barrier?

He did not know.

However, he had to give it a try!

However, just as he was preparing to create the cards.

Suddenly…

A beam of stunning Sword Aura was released. The horrifying Sword Aura penetrated the sky and shot towards the building in the middle of an isle. A deafening boom could be heard.

Bang!

The earth trembled.

The few isles surrounding it were shaking.

Layers of energy barriers appeared above that building again and blocked that horrifying Sword Aura. The tides surrounding the isle rose many meters!

That was…

Lu Ming widened his eyes greatly. Wasn’t that his sister’s aura?!

Wait a minute.

That isle seemed to be the headquarters of those guys?

c.r.a.p!

What was his sister doing?!

That was their headquarters!

Didn’t she see an energy barrier above the headquarters?!

That place was definitely one where the enemy had put up the strongest defense. Why couldn’t she target somewhere else such as attacking the periphery of the island and then taking the opportunity to leave?

However…

Just as this thought flashed across his mind…

Bang!

Another beam of Sword Aura landed.

That horrifying Sword Aura plunged and hit the top of that building mercilessly!

Click!

Click!

Cracks appeared on the energy barrier.

“Lu Yan, how dare you!”

A furious voice reverberated across the entire island.

Elder Xu, who had been chasing Lu Yan, finally arrived. He did not expect Lu Yan to be so swift. After circling the island a few times, she actually returned to the middle of the isle!

Wasn’t she on the run?

She actually dared to come back and even attack the headquarters?

She was courting death!

However…

When he rushed over, Lu Yan had already released the third Sword Aura!

Bang!

The third beam of Sword Aura suddenly struck.

The shocking aura penetrated the skies. This beam of Sword Aura seemed to be stronger and more powerful than the previous two. It even carried a bone-chilling aura!

Bang!

The energy barrier above that building shattered.

The Sword Aura plunged.

It blasted the center of the building and loud booming noises could be heard. An enormous hole actually appeared on the building that had been around for ages!

Click!

Click!

Countless cracks were spreading and all of a sudden, it collapsed.

Splas.h.!.+

Splas.h.!.+

The sea waters surged to the surface of the ground. That building turned into ruins and hundreds of houses surrounding it were gradually drowned by sea water, their roofs no longer visible…

…

Elder Xu was dumbstruck.

Elder Zhang’s mind went blank.

Everyone who saw this was stupefied.

What did they see?

Lu Yan struck and penetrated one of the isles in three strikes of Swordsman Aura… Furthermore, it was an isle with an energy barrier and the headquarters of the Swordsmen was located there…

Yes.

On impact, the isle sank directly.
