Chapter 127
127 I am Lu Qing, Yuyan!
Zhao zhengzha stood at the bow of the swift Boat, allowing the strong wind to ruffle his clothes. His gaze was fixed on Yuyan mountain, which was surrounded by the mountain-protecting formation.
This scene was somewhat familiar. It was the same as the last time they attacked Yuyan mountain more than 30 years ago. The cultivators of the Zhao clan arrived at Yuyan mountain in their flying boats. They broke through the protective formation and charged in to kill and plunder.
This time, it might even be easier.
Although the Lu clan had an initial enlightenment cultivator, Lu chaoxi, he was only at the initial enlightenment stage. Zhao zhengzha did not care about him at all. He was a cultivator at the sixth level of the initial enlightenment stage, so he could completely crush them with his raw strength. Furthermore, the Lu clan’s Yuyan mountain had a level-four spirit vein back then, and the mountain-protecting formation was also at the level of level-four. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Lu clan only had a few foundation building cultivators back then and couldn’t unleash the full power of the formation, it would have been extremely difficult for them to break in. Even so, in order to attack Yuyan mountain more than 30 years ago, they had to spend a year and a half at the foot of the mountain. In the end, the Lu clan’s cultivators inside had to endure until their spiritual energy was exhausted. Then, they were given a level four talisman by old ancestor Zhao to make the final decision. Only then did they break the array.
Now, Yuyan mountain only had a level-Two Spirit vein, and the mountain-protecting formation was also a level-two standard that was rebuilt later. Even with an initial enlightenment cultivator in charge, it was much easier to break it than it was in the past.
The Zhao clan’s flying boat stopped a few thousand meters away from the mountain-protecting formation and descended.
Zhao zhengzha raised his hand and summoned a White Crane. He rode the crane to the front of the mountain-protecting formation and activated his spiritual energy. He shouted into Yuyan mountain,
“Lu chaoxi! Come out and face your death!”
His voice echoed in the mountains, but there was no response.
After a while, he shouted again, ” “Are you ready to be a turtle? I’ll give you a chance to have a fair fight, just the two of us. If you win, the Zhao family will retreat. Do you dare to come out?”
Lu chaoxi, who had heard this from the mountain, hesitated for a moment.
Lu mingchao, who was beside him, could tell what her elder brother was thinking. She quickly tried to persuade him, ” “Don’t fall for it. Don’t ignore the difference in strength between you two. You definitely can’t win. What’s more, he might not even fight you. Once you go out, you’ll be surrounded and attacked. He’ll kill you first before attacking the formation. What can we do?”
“Yes, I won’t make a mistake.” Lu chaoxi calmed down. He had just been provoked and was a little angry. Even if his younger sister had not reminded him, he would not have jumped out to court death.
Zhao zhengzha, who was outside, wasn’t too disappointed when he saw that he couldn’t fool anyone. He was just trying it out. He didn’t think that Lu chaoxi was that stupid.
The next day, the Zhao clan’s offensive gradually began.
Three cannon-like things were set up. This item was called the ‘formation-breaking cannon’. It looked quite similar to the cannon that Lu Qing had used before he transmigrated … In any case, it was just a long and thick cannon barrel.
This was a type of tool that was jointly created by a tool refining master and a formation master. It was quite expensive, heavy, and difficult to control. Although its power was extraordinary, it was only effective against formations. It was completely unrealistic to use it in a battle between cultivators. Not only was it inconvenient to wear, but it was also much weaker than ordinary magic tools of the same level.
However, when it came to formations, especially large-scale formations like the great mountain-guarding formation, the ‘formation-breaking cannon’ was much more powerful.
High-level blacksmiths and array Masters would have to put in a lot of effort when forging this kind of special magic weapon. The blacksmiths were in charge of the body of the cannon and the construction of the carriage that carried the array. The array Masters, on the other hand, had to reverse the technique of destroying the array and implement it on the array-breaking cannon.
The barrel was engraved with formations and divine patterns, and it was placed on a square cannon rack. The gun barrel wasn’t that important. The carriage at the bottom was the real thing. The spirit stone was embedded in it, and several special magic threads were connected to it, which required the cultivator to control it directly.
There were three formation-breaking cannons, one big and one small. The big one was a level-three formation-breaking cannon, which was worth more than thirty thousand spirit stones. As for the two smaller ones, they were level two formation-breaking cannons, which cost tens of thousands to build.
The two Foundation establishment cultivators each controlled a level-two formation-breaking cannon with the help of many Qi refinement cultivators. Zhao Zhengyi personally controlled the level-three cannon.
At Zhao zhengzha’s command, artillery fire roared and three balls of spiritual energy light exploded on Yuyan mountain’s protective formation.
The White clouds that were protecting Yuyan mountain churned violently. The places that were hit by the tier-three formation-breaking cannon were even penetrated. One could vaguely see the scene on Yuyan mountain behind.
Lu chaoxi and the others, who were in charge of the formation on the mountain, quickly activated the formation. The spirit Qi in the spirit vein was mobilized and the gap was quickly filled.
However, after a few minutes of silence, three more shots rang out, and the protective formation shook violently again.
“At this rate, even if we do everything we can to resist, we can only hold on for three days at most,”
Lu Chaohe himself was an array master. He was usually the one who maintained the mountain-protecting array on Yuyan mountain. Naturally, he would have a better understanding of the situation of this array.
“Then just carry it.” Lu chaoxi said, ” they will definitely expend more energy using the formation-breaking cannon than us using the spirit vein to activate the formation.
These words were not wrong. If they were to fire for three days, at least three or four foundation building cultivators of the Zhao clan would have exhausted their spiritual power. Without a few days of replenishment, they would definitely not be able to recover. On his side, the main energy source of the mountain protecting formation was from the spiritual vein. Even if the formation was forced, the condition of their own side’s combat power was definitely better than the other side’s.
In the subsequent battles, the other side would lose three or four foundation building cultivators, which would be quite crucial.
However, this battle was still not going to be easy to fight.
Lu chaoxi looked at the expressions of his younger brother, sister, and many other descendants of the family clan. They all had a look of determination.
However, he wasn’t as nervous.
Of course, he knew that this was a battle of life and death for the Guan family. He was no match for Zhao zhengzha. After all, he had just entered the initial enlightenment stage, while Zhao zhengzha had been in the initial enlightenment stage for decades.
But,
He felt at ease when he recalled his father’s voice transmission.
So what if Zhao Zidan came?
Just as he was thinking about this, his father’s voice transmission came again.
“Release the formation.”
“Release the formation!” He immediately ordered.
“Eh?” The cultivators of the various families were all dumbfounded. They thought that there was something wrong with their ears and that they had heard wrongly. As a result, no one followed Lu chaoxi’s instructions.
Didn’t he just say that he could hold on for three days and use up the magical power of three or four foundation building cultivators from the Zhao clan?
What did he mean by let go?
Lu chaoxi dispelled his mana and summoned his ‘Shangming’ flying sword. He then said, ” “Release the formation, this is Father’s will.”
“Father?” Mingchao was the first to react. She asked excitedly, “Father can come out of seclusion?”
“Yes.” Lu chaoxi said with a smile.
The others also reacted at this time.
The clan’s golden core patriarch, Tao Wu, was really not dead, and could even fight?
……
Outside the mountain Gate, the cultivators of the Zhao clan saw that the White clouds surrounding Yuyan mountain had suddenly become much thinner and disappeared completely in a short time.
“What?” Zhao zhengzha was a little stunned.
The protective formation of Yuyan mountain had been broken? So fast? Although he had the level three formation-breaking cannon and the opponent’s protective formation was only level two, there was still Lu chaoxi, an initial enlightenment cultivator, presiding over the formation on Yuyan mountain. Even if he wanted to destroy it, it should not be so fast, right?
According to his estimation, it would take at least three days.
What was going on? Is there an internal strife on Yuyan mountain? Did they remove the mountain-protecting formation of their own accord?
Zhao zhengzha did not immediately give any orders, as he was afraid that something was amiss. Instead, he summoned his White Crane and flew to a higher position to get a better view.
He saw the glow of six flying swords on Yuyan mountain. The one in the lead with lightning was naturally Lu chaoxi. The five people behind him were probably the five foundation building cultivators from the Lu clan. Below them, more than 40 Qi refining cultivators of the Lu clan had also formed a formation. They were heading down the mountain under the leadership of six advanced cultivators of the clan.
There was no internal strife. It seemed like they wanted to take the initiative to attack.
The seven foundation building cultivators from the Zhao clan who were gathered here also flew up one by one. One of them couldn’t help but sneer, ” “These Lu clan cultivators, are they dying too slowly?”
“He actually dared to take the initiative to attack?”
“That’s good too, it saves us a lot of energy.”
As they spoke, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Without the great mountain-guarding formation, the battle between the two sides was purely a contest of the hard power of the cultivators.
But why would the Zhao family be afraid of the Lu family?
From afar, they looked aggressive as they came down from the mountain, but what was that? The Zhao clan had more than a hundred direct descendants here, and they had two more Foundation establishment cultivators than the other party. As for initial enlightenment cultivators, Zhao zhengzha clearly had the upper hand.
clan leader, give the order. Today is the day we take revenge for Ping Liang!
Zhao zhengzha furrowed his brows as he looked at the approaching Lu family. He was worried.
The Lu family had become so bold? Could it be that Lu Qing was really afraid?
At this moment, Zhao Zidan’s words rang in his ears, ” “Lu Qing is not here. Kill him.”
These words immediately put down all his worries.
How could a golden core patriarch’s judgment be wrong?
“Then let’s fight! Children of the Zhao clan, charge with me!”
After he finished speaking, he commanded the White Crane and charged forward. His target was Lu chaoxi!
While he was in mid-air, he had already begun to prepare his spell technique. He was not the most common sword cultivator in the Feiyun state. He was not very good at this and did not know how to use his magic sword to attack people. He was better at fighting enemies with spells.
A lake-blue prayer bead appeared in his hand. With the activation of spiritual power, behind him, a cloud with specks of blue light suddenly formed, condensed, and formed the shape of a Dragon. The mist Dragon was a thousand feet long. It let out a furious roar as if it was alive. It passed by him and his White Crane and charged toward Lu chaoxi.
Lu chaoxi was not scared. The black Electric current on the ‘Black Lightning’ grew many times more powerful in an instant and struck the mist Dragon.
The two of them collided, and the black Lightning was sent flying.
“Have you never fought in a battle between initial enlightenment cultivators? Ah?” Zhao zhengzha’s carefree voice sounded as the mist Dragon charged forward without slowing down.
It was not a good feeling to have a magic sword sent flying. Lu chaoxi was somewhat affected.
Zhao zhengzha was right. The White ghost king was the strongest opponent Lu chaoxi had ever faced since he was enlightened. The feeling of fighting against such a huge monster was completely different from fighting against a real initial enlightenment cultivator.
The lack of experience and the crushing power of his own strength had caused him to make a wrong judgment.
He didn’t have the time to regain control of the black Lightning. Zhao zhengzha’s Mist Dragon was much stronger than he had imagined.
He could only use his full strength to activate the universe spirit acceptance diagram and the Golden Spirit-guarding armor in hopes of blocking this spell technique.
However, the impact that he expected did not come. The mighty Mist Dragon quickly disintegrated and dissipated in the air.
Lu chaoxi saw Zhao zhengzha, who was riding a White Crane behind him, through the mist Dragon that had collapsed. He was engulfed in a ball of Crimson Fire. His shrill cries of pain could be heard.
Zhao zhengzha felt that something was wrong the moment he was engulfed in flames.
As his old rival, he immediately recognized that this was a famous spell from the ‘infinite fire control technique’,’ extinguish fire’.
Not only did he recognize this move, but he had even suffered from it personally in the past.
That was more than 30 years ago, when the Zhao clan attacked Yuyan mountain. Lu chaoxi was the one who made the move. He activated a level three fire talisman that old ancestor Lu had left behind and hit him.
At that time, he was only in the second level of the initial enlightenment stage, and the feeling of being hit by a third-grade fire talisman was really not good.” The characteristic of the black fire extinguishing Inferno that didn’t give up until it was completely burned was quite frightening. At that time, he also spent a lot of effort to solve the problem. If he had not been hit by the fire talisman, he would have killed Lu chaoxi back then. He would not have been able to delay the arrival of the cultivators from the sect to stop the war between the two sides.
But then again, when he was hit by the ‘fire extinguishing talisman’ back then, he only felt that it was troublesome. Now that he was stronger, and had experienced it before, he was even more prepared in advance. He didn’t care about talismans at all.
When the dark red flames had burned his body, he had followed his plan step by step, preparing to use his spiritual energy to isolate himself from the destructive dark red flames and then think of a way to get rid of them.
However, when his spirit energy came into contact with the flame, he immediately felt that something was wrong. How could he be so powerful? Why was it that the moment spiritual power touched it, it was instantly burned dry?
Before this bad feeling could arise, he felt that the spirit power he had used to protect his body was instantly burned through, and the flames directly touched his body.
It was definitely not a talisman! This was the direct attack of a fire element cultivator in the Golden core stage!
As soon as this thought arose, the intense pain of his physical body and even his divine soul being burned instantly drowned his perception, causing him to subconsciously let out a tragic cry.
A clear green ray of light descended from the sky. This was Zhao Zidan, who was on the flying boat. He had made his move after sensing that something was amiss.
He tried to use wood element spells to purify the Crimson Fire.
However, it was too late.
The red-crowned crane beneath Zhao zhengzha had already been burned to death. His burning body fell from the sky, and the purifying spell technique had indeed eliminated the ‘extinguishing fire’. However, Zhao zhengzha, who had been enveloped in flames, had been completely charred black in an extremely short period of time. Not only had his physical body been destroyed, but his soul had also been refined and destroyed.
“Lu Qing!”
Zhao Zidan’s furious roar could be heard as his figure rose from the flying boat. A five-colored lotus flower was under his feet.
In the direction he was looking at, a huge dark red fire Dragon flew up and spat out a ball of intense flames, turning half of the sky red.
On the dragon’s head stood a young man with long hair and a beard flying in the wind. His Scarlet eyes were looking at Zhao Zidan from afar.
“I am Yuyan Lu Qing!”
“Old thief Zhao, quickly come and accept your death!”
