Chapter 151: Swordsmen Confrontation, Who Dares to Kill My Grandson!
“Unaware of the difficulties in cultivating, I shall reveal my true self on the Blue Cloud Platform.”
“Understanding the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, transforming into a jade platform to build the foundation of the Dao.”
“Walking the Great Dao alone is not my wish, living freely in the mortal world brings eternal prosperity.”
“Humans are not like plants, and emotions are not severed, only the mortal body is severed, not the heart.”
Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the steel-feathered eagle, wearing a blue robe, his hair flowing in the wind, as he softly recited his own poem.
“Hmm?”
Just after flying for hundreds of miles, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed a fierce aura behind him, like a stormy wind rushing towards him.
Facing this fierce aura, Lu Changsheng’s expression turned slightly solemn, and his heart grew vigilant.
After all, having mixed in the cultivation world for so many years, he had gained rich experience.
Leaving the town just now, he encountered this situation, which made him even more cautious.
With his past experience, Lu Changsheng immediately controlled the air and stood on the flying magical weapon, putting the useless steel-feathered eagle back into his spiritual pet bag.
The next moment, Lu Changsheng saw a golden light flashing like a shooting star, tearing through the air, and approaching fiercely.
“Is it him?”
As the light approached, Lu Changsheng immediately recognized that the person inside the light was a young man, about 24 or 25 years old, wearing a golden robe, and riding a flying sword.
It was the young man he had seen in Blue Cloud Market Town, Meng Yibai, who had been with Xiao Xiyue when they left the cave.
Lu Changsheng had suspected that the other party had intentions towards Xiao Xiyue, and seeing his intimate interactions with Xiao Xiyue might have sparked jealousy.
He changed his appearance for this reason.
Unexpectedly, despite his multiple disguises, this person still targeted him and came to kill him directly.
“Whoosh!”
Meng Yibai approached Lu Changsheng with a cold expression and said nothing.
A golden, fierce sword aura was unleashed, slashing towards Lu Changsheng with swift and fierce momentum.
“Pfft!”
Lu Changsheng had been prepared, and with a slight lift of his right hand, the Seven Stars Sword Light was unleashed, breaking through the air and shattering the golden sword aura.
“Who are you, and why are you suddenly attacking me?”
Lu Changsheng asked, looking at Meng Yibai in front of him.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t bother to chat with them. But since he had chatted with Xiao Xiyue, he knew that the young man in front of him was not only a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect but also a descendant of a false core true person.
If possible, Lu Changsheng really didn’t want to make an enemy out of him.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng also wanted to know how the other party had managed to see through his disguise and track him down.
“You’re quite talented, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and already able to break my sword aura,” Meng Yibai sneered.
“As for why I’m attacking you, I think you should be very clear in your heart.”
Meng Yibai stood proudly on his flying sword, like a sharp spear piercing the sky, exuding an aura of arrogance and sharpness.
“I really don’t know where I offended you,”
Lu Changsheng said with a bitter smile.
“Since you don’t know, then take your doubts to your grave!”
Meng Yibai didn’t say much, just coldly shouted, and with a hand seal, his entire body’s aura became fierce, causing a ringing sound to resonate in the void.
A golden flying sword appeared, with countless golden talisman scripts flowing on its surface, its sword aura slashing towards Lu Changsheng.
“Ah, it seems there’s no need to talk,”
Lu Changsheng said, seeing that the other party’s personality was extremely arrogant and proud.
He had a grudge against Lu Changsheng and wanted to kill him, so he didn’t want to waste words.
“Since that’s the case, let’s see whose flying sword is sharper!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the incoming golden flying sword, not saying anything more.
He was not a good-tempered person, and since he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he also wanted to test his own abilities.
He clapped his hand on his storage bag, and a blood-colored scissors appeared, activated by his spiritual power, transforming into a blood-colored dragon that roared towards the golden flying sword.
At the same time, the Forest White Flying Sword appeared in front of him.
“Sword Shadow Splitting Technique!”
Lu Changsheng’s hands formed a seal, and a rainbow light entered the flying sword.
The Forest White Flying Sword suddenly trembled, and seven-colored treasure lights flowed, transforming into two identical flying swords.
The next moment, two more identical flying swords appeared.
A total of eight flying swords appeared in front of Lu Changsheng.
The Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique, Second Stage, not only has the Seven Stars Heart Lamp technique, which can forge a spiritual weapon, but also has two other techniques.
The first technique is called Sword Shadow Splitting Technique.
When facing an enemy, it can create up to eight identical sword shadows that can confuse the enemy’s vision, and each sword shadow has up to 30% of the original sword’s power.
The second technique is called Splitting Light Condensing Sword Technique.
After using the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique, it can condense all the sword shadows into one sword, unleashing a powerful strike.
Ordinary beginners can only create one or two sword shadows when practicing this technique, but Lu Changsheng has mastered the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique and doesn’t need to practice.
Moreover, with the Xuan Yuan Bead on him, he doesn’t need to worry about consuming too much spiritual power when creating multiple sword shadows.
“Hmm? You’re also a sword cultivator!”
Meng Yibai was surprised to see Lu Changsheng’s entire body radiating a sharp aura, as if he had transformed into a different person, and was using the Splitting Light technique.
Cultivators can be divided into two categories: literary and martial.
Literary cultivators mainly obtain cultivation resources through production and trade.
Martial cultivators, on the other hand, obtain resources through battle and plunder.
Sword cultivators, like Meng Yibai, are typical of the martial category.
They value courage and strength, and are known for their fierce fighting style.
This was also why Meng Yibai had been unhappy seeing Lu Changsheng with Xiao Xiyue, and had wanted to kill him directly.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let you see the true power of a sword cultivator!”
Meng Yibai formed a hand seal, and his golden flying sword suddenly emitted a clear ringing sound, releasing a wave of sword aura.
The sword aura was like a storm, and in an instant, it made the blood-colored dragon let out a sorrowful cry and dim its body.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng’s expression didn’t change, and nine flying swords shot out from in front of him.
Three swords attacked the golden flying sword, and six swords attacked Meng Yibai.
“Hmm?”
Meng Yibai looked at the incoming flying swords, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He discovered that Lu Changsheng’s flying swords were all like real swords, and he couldn’t distinguish them.
His face remained unchanged, without any panic, and he raised his eyebrows like a sword, then clapped his hand on his Dantian and spat out a shining sword orb.
The sword orb was round and golden, like a golden pill, and it rotated around him, forming a sword aura net.
The sword orb was a spiritual weapon, with a power that far surpassed ordinary flying swords.
“Clang clang clang…”:
The six illusory flying swords in front of the sword orb net emitted a series of metallic clanging sounds, and sparks flew everywhere.
The sword orb was indeed extraordinary, and Lu Changsheng’s illusory flying swords not only couldn’t break through its defense but also developed cracks on their bodies.
“I’ve just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and my accumulation is insufficient. Many of my techniques are still not up to par.”
“To avoid any accidents, I should end this quickly.”
Through a simple exchange, Lu Changsheng had a rough understanding of his own and Meng Yibai’s strength.
His cultivation should be in the middle of the Foundation Establishment stage.
But with the Xuan Yuan Bead on him, his spiritual power was not inferior to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and might even surpass it in terms of quantity.
In a same-stage battle, he didn’t fear his opponent.
However, as an immortal sect disciple and a descendant of a fake core true person, Meng Yibai must have many hidden cards and lifesaving techniques, so it was best to end the battle quickly.
“This so-called sword cultivator’s technique is nothing but this. Let me show you my sword!”
“Splitting Light Condensing Sword Technique!”
Lu Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the spiritual power in his body surged like a river, and the spiritual power in the Xuan Yuan Bead also rapidly flowed.
This caused the eight illusory flying swords to suddenly tremble and release a dazzling light.
Then, they transformed into a seven-colored rainbow light that merged into the Forest White Flying Sword, making it grow to an enormous size, over a zhang long.
“Slash!”
Lu Changsheng controlled the flying sword with his fingers, unleashing a powerful strike.
The giant sword rose, and the seven-colored divine light flowed, releasing an endless, fierce, and sharp sword aura that seemed to want to destroy all life, slashing towards Meng Yibai with an overwhelming momentum.
“Clang clang clang…”
The golden flying sword let out a sorrowful cry under the terrifying attack of the seven-colored giant sword.
“How is this possible?”
“You’re just a cultivator who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. How can you possibly exhibit such techniques and have such strength?”
Meng Yibai looked at the seven-colored giant sword, his face pale with shock.
As a sword cultivator, he was supposed to be unbeatable among his peers.
So, Lu Changsheng, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, was not taken seriously by him.
Earlier, Lu Changsheng’s Splitting Light technique had only made him feel that Lu Changsheng was very talented.
After all, if he weren’t talented, he wouldn’t have been noticed by Xiao Xiyue, the heavenly proud daughter.
But this technique was no longer something that could be explained by talent alone.
This was absolutely not something that a cultivator who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage could exhibit.
Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm, and he didn’t respond, intending to kill Meng Yibai with one sword strike.
“This kid has such astonishing skills, he must have inherited the legacy of a peerless swordsman!”
“Even if it costs some price, it’s worth it to kill him!”
Meng Yibai’s body burst with sword energy, and he took out a giant turtle shell to block the giant sword’s attack.
The golden sword orbs surrounding him formed a heavenly sword net, which suddenly erupted and filled the air, slashing towards Lu Changsheng.
He was very clear that even if he couldn’t defend against this attack, his sword orbs were unbeatable, and Lu Changsheng had no ability to block them.
At the same time, a blue Talisman appeared in his hand, radiating light and energy.
“Talisman treasure!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He immediately saw that the blue Talisman in the opponent’s hand was a Talisman treasure.
He thought to himself, “No wonder he’s a disciple of the Immortal Sect, they all have Talisman treasures as standard equipment.”
Xiao Xiyue had a Talisman treasure with her, and now this person also had one.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng didn’t take out the Golden Light Brick to counterattack.
His magical treasures’ remaining power was limited, and he couldn’t afford to waste it.
He slapped his storage bag, taking out an top-grade shield magical weapon and his second-level puppet to block the sword orbs.
Then, he poured his spiritual power into the seven-colored giant sword, amplifying its power to the extreme.
“Boom!”
The turtle shell magical weapon suddenly cracked.
“Oh no!”
Meng Yibai didn’t expect Lu Changsheng’s attack to be so fierce.
His turtle shell was only a low-grade spiritual weapon.
In the face of this giant sword’s attack, it seemed so fragile.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng had a backup plan, the second-level puppet, he had no choice but to recall his sword orbs to defend.
The sword energy erupted, forming a vast spiral sword net, continuing to block the seven-colored giant sword’s attack, buying time to activate the Talisman treasure.
In an instant, the blue Talisman treasure was activated.
Accompanied by a clear ringing sound, the Talisman treasure transformed into a small, water-like, blue jade ruler.
The jade ruler radiated dazzling light in the air.
Like Lu Changsheng’s previous Forest White Flying Sword, it split into one, two, four, eight, and so on, transforming into numerous jade rulers.
In no time, Meng Yibai had over a hundred blue jade rulers arranged in front of him, blocking the seven-colored giant sword.
“Go!”
Meng Yibai made a hand seal, and the sword orbs, which were colliding with the giant sword, transformed into a golden light beam, shooting towards Lu Changsheng.
At the same time, multiple jade rulers also flew towards Lu Changsheng to attack.
Although this Talisman treasure was ordinary, it excelled in both offense and defense.
“As a sword cultivator, starting to defend is already a defeat.”
Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm, and he spoke in a gentle tone, affecting the opponent’s mind.
His divine sense controlled the magical shield and the second-level puppet to defend against the sword orbs.
At the same time, his palm slashed out, releasing a series of sword lights that attacked the blue jade rulers.
Several blue jade rulers were destroyed under his Seven Stars Sword Light, giving him an idea of their power.
Immediately, a Talisman scroll appeared in his hand.
He had obtained seven second-level top-grade Talisman’s from the red-clothed youth.
Among them, four Talisman were attack-type Talismans.
Second-level top-grade Talisman – Thunderfire Unbridled Talisman!
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Lu Changsheng’s Talisman was activated, transforming into endless heavenly thunder and earthly fire, sweeping towards the jade rulers, with an astonishing and terrifying power.
The jade rulers, which were blocking the seven-colored giant sword, went crazy, shattering and re-splitting.
“Go!”
Seeing his second-level puppet retreating in defeat, with damage all over its body, Lu Changsheng immediately reactivated the blood-colored scissors, transforming them into a blood-colored dragon that attacked the golden sword orbs.
After all, repairing the puppet would not only cost money but also time.
“Little guy, keep an eye on him.”
Lu Changsheng took out the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm from his spiritual pet bag.
Although the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was only at the late stage of the first level, it could still catch the opponent off guard if they weren’t a body cultivator.
“Damn it!”
“How can someone who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage have so much spiritual power and methods?”
Meng Yibai felt his internal spiritual power rapidly draining, and his face turned extremely ugly.
His Foundation Establishment fifth-stage power was now rapidly depleting, with more than half of it consumed.
Lu Changsheng, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, had less spiritual power than him, yet he could still casually cast other spells, activate spiritual weapons, and control the seven-colored giant sword, which was incomprehensible.
“Crack!”
Just then, a clear, crisp sound echoed.
The turtle shell, which was already full of cracks, finally shattered, causing the jade rulers to continuously break and split under the seven-colored giant sword.
“No, there is something wrong with this kid!”
“He must have some kind of treasure that stores and amplifies spiritual power, otherwise, it’s impossible for someone who just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage to be so extravagant.”
Looking at Lu Changsheng, who didn’t seem to be exhausting his spiritual power, Meng Yibai’s face turned extremely ugly.
He made up his mind to escape.
Although sword cultivators emphasized advancing bravely, they weren’t fools.
They knew that it was better to live and fight another day, rather than dying in vain.
Meng Yibai’s body surged with spiritual power, and he fully activated the Talisman treasure in his hand to resist the giant sword’s fierce attack.
At the same time, he recalled his sword orb that was blocking the blood-colored scissors and the second-level puppet.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng saw this scene and immediately realized that there was a problem.
His blood-colored scissors and second-level puppet couldn’t block the sword orbs.
Now it was a matter of who would break through the opponent’s Talisman treasure first.
Would he break through the opponent’s Talisman treasure, or would the opponent’s sword orbs break through his second-level puppet and blood-colored scissors?
But the opponent was now withdrawing his attack, which was suspicious.
“Is he trying to escape?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat as he realized that the opponent might be trying to flee.
Otherwise, as a sword cultivator, it wouldn’t make sense to abandon the attack and focus on defense in this situation.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng didn’t hold back anymore.
He took out his own Talisman treasure, a Golden Light Brick.
Although this Golden Light Brick Talisman treasure didn’t have much power, it had the effect of suppressing the heavens and the earth, making it impossible for people to escape.
Lu Changsheng, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, could activate the Talisman treasure faster than during the Qi Refining period.
In no time, the Talisman treasure in his hand erupted, radiating golden light in all directions.
“Talisman treasure!”
Meng Yibai’s expression changed greatly as he saw this scene.
He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to have another Talisman treasure hidden away until now.
At this moment, he didn’t care about his own life-bound sword orbs anymore.
He directly drove his footwork, transforming into a golden light, and fled without looking back.
But the partial power of the Talisman treasure’s Golden Light Brick had already taken effect.
The golden light radiated in all directions, like the mighty pressure of the ancient divine mountains, suppressing him, making his body sink, and his spiritual power slow down.
The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, which was hiding in the dark, also transformed into a golden thread and suddenly attacked.
“What is this?”
Meng Yibai, as a Foundation Establishment great cultivator, keenly sensed the approaching Six-Winged Golden Silkworm and released a burst of spiritual power, forming a protective shield around himself.
“Clang!”
The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm collided with the shield, producing a metallic ringing sound, but failed to penetrate.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
At this time, the numerous blue jade rulers, which were supported by Meng Yibai’s dwindling spiritual power, began to shatter under the giant sword’s attack.
Lu Changsheng immediately charged towards Meng Yibai with his second-level puppet.
“Friend, if you spare my life, I’ll make a vow to never seek revenge, and I’ll even give you this Talisman treasure and 10,000 spirit stones as compensation.”
Meng Yibai, who was being suppressed by the Golden Light Brick, knew that escaping was difficult and spoke out.
“I’m curious, how did you track me down?”
Lu Changsheng used the remaining power of the Golden Light Brick to suppress Meng Yibai and asked.
“I have a low-grade bloodline pet, a divine mouse.”
“This mouse has no other abilities, but it has an extremely keen sense of smell for spiritual objects, and this sense is also applicable to other aspects.”
“It smelled the aura on your body and the scent of your storage bag, so even if you disguise yourself and conceal your aura, it can still be roughly sensed.”
“If you need it, I’m willing to give you this divine mouse.”
Meng Yibai, as a sword cultivator, although begging for mercy, still maintained his dignity and spoke in a calm tone.
“I see.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He had read in a book that some treasures, spiritual beasts, or even people could sense the aura of items in a storage bag.
He didn’t expect that this divine mouse could not only sense human auras but also the aura of items in a storage bag.
This made him feel a sense of dread.
Fortunately, he hadn’t encountered a cultivator who could sense the aura of items in a storage bag; otherwise, he would have been in grave danger.
“How about it, friend?”
Meng Yibai’s internal spiritual power was almost depleted, and his Talisman treasure was almost exhausted. He was anxious, but still maintained his composure and spoke in a deep voice.
“In this situation, how can I let you go?”
“I won’t kill you, but my heart won’t be at ease.”
Lu Changsheng’s words fell, and the seven-colored giant sword slashed down.
From the moment they clashed, the opponent’s fate was sealed.
“Friend, we didn’t have any grudges before, and this matter was just a momentary impulse. I’m willing to apologize to you, and you can make any demands.”
“Moreover, my grandmother is a false core true person of the Blue Cloud Sect, and she has implanted a soul mark within me. If you kill me, my grandmother will find out.”
“I’m telling you this not to threaten you, but to let you know that if you kill me, you’ll only bring endless trouble to yourself, and the harm will outweigh the benefits.”
Meng Yibai’s entire body surged with powerful Qi, and his golden sword orb spun rapidly, trying to escape.
However, his entire body was suppressed by the golden brick, making it difficult for him to struggle free, and he could only rely on his Talisman to block the attack.
At this moment, his tone also became urgent, and he couldn’t remain calm like before.
“Alas, it’s precisely because of this that I asked you if you misunderstood from the start.”
“But unfortunately, you didn’t seize the opportunity!”
Lu Changsheng sighed and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze turned fierce, and he unleashed the seven-colored giant sword with full force.
Today, no matter what the opponent said, they would definitely die.
Otherwise, he would be unable to sleep or eat well if he were remembered by such an arrogant person who would hunt him down for a trivial matter!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The forcefully activated Talisman and sword orb clashed repeatedly with the seven-colored giant sword.
However, his Qi had been greatly depleted, and he was suppressed by the golden brick, slowing down his Qi. Facing this terrifying attack, how could he possibly block it?
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
The five spears on the second-level puppet’s back shot out simultaneously, piercing through Meng Yibai’s protective Qi shield and then his body.
“Pfft!”
In an instant, Meng Yibai spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to support the Talisman and sword orb’s defense.
The next moment, the seven-colored giant sword slashed down like a divine axe, cutting Meng Yibai’s body in half, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
“My methods are still too few.”
“If I didn’t have the Xuan Yuan Bead’s Qi amplification and support, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain.”
“Moreover, this flying sword is not suitable for me.”
After seeing Meng Yibai die, Lu Changsheng let out a gentle sigh, murmuring to himself.
He had a rough understanding of his own abilities.
Without further thought, he used his Qi to grab the opponent’s treasures, including the corpse, and turned them into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
At this time, in the Blue Cloud Sect…
In the magnificent, golden palace…
An old woman with a pale face and white hair suddenly had a premonition.
A jade token appeared in her hand.
But on this jade token, a crack appeared.
“Ahh!”
She looked at the cracked jade token in her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief, and let out a mournful cry.
“Who, who killed my grandson!”
The old woman’s Qi surged, and her eyes turned red.
A moment later, she transformed into a rainbow light, flying out of the palace.
She then rode a spirit boat, turning into a streak of light, shooting towards the direction of Blue Cloud Market Town.
