Chapter 134: The Number One in Earth Rank
"Hahaha! This kid can't take it anymore!"
"Kill this bastard!"
"Attack!"
Everyone shouted excitedly when they saw Su Wen staggering at the end!
However, when they charged forward, they deliberately slowed down.
After all, Su Wen looked like he was at the end of his rope just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was brimming with energy and vigor.
Who knew if this was another trap?
However, in reality, Su Wen had truly reached his limits.
By burning his cultivation base and activating the Great Solar River, his cultivation base had already dropped to 7th Stage of Star Rank.
His physical strength and cultivation had been completely exhausted.
The Great Solar River would not be able to be activated again for a short period of time!
Wu Lie also landed on the ground. His body was already covered in blood. His lips had turned pale from the loss of blood.
The knife wound on his back was too deep.
Su Wen smiled. "It's over. I don't have any energy left."
"I told you to leave, but you didn't f** king leave! This time, it's all over!" Wu Lie said through gritted teeth.
Su Wen broke into a grin as he sank into his memories. He muttered to himself, "I've killed enough, and I haven't lost anything in this lifetime. I've enjoyed a luxurious life, slept with the most beautiful women, eaten the best food, drank the strongest wine, touched a princess, and even fought with the emperor. If I die, then so be it. Who knows, this might be a new beginning!"
He was instead pretty optimistic.
What if he ended up transmigrating again?
Wu Lie could not understand what he was thinking. To Wu Lie, death was like an extinguished lamp.
At this moment, the enemy charged forward again!
The leader of the group was a 9th Grade Star Rank martialist. He swung his sword!
Su Wen saw that he could not dodge in time. But shockingly, Wu Lie suddenly charged forward.
He punched out!
Peng!
The fist collided with the Sword Qi!
Wu Lie unleashed his full strength!
"Pssh!"
The sword energy was scattered, but in an instant, the wound on Wu Lie's back spewed out large amounts of blood due to his sudden exertion of strength!
Blood drenched Su Wen.
It was warm, yet scalding at the same time!
This time, Wu Lie really helped Su Wen block the attack!
However, Wu Lie had lost too much blood. His vision turned black and he slumped to the ground.
Immediately after, a large number of attacks followed closely behind.
The ghost of a smile surfaced on Su Wen's lips… It was going to end…
Rumble!
With a loud sound, all the Qi from the various attacks were scattered!
The martial artists chasing from the front instantly turned into broken limbs and flesh.
One could only see a huge halberd flying over from afar.
The halberd was ownerless, but just the force it was thrown with had already easily annihilated these Star Rank martialists.
Following that, a tall figure flashed to stand in front of Wu Lie and Su Wen.
No one saw how he got there, and it even appeared as though he had always been standing there.
Wu Kunhu!
The Great Zhou General was akin to a god descending into the mortal plane.
There was no emotion on his face as he coldly swept his gaze across the Moon Worship Sect Disciples.
He was akin to the Mount Tai in Su Wen's previous life, heavy and stable.
The crushing atmosphere caused everyone to hold their breaths.
In contrast, Fu An breathed a sigh of relief.
With Wu Kunhu arriving, everything was over.
He had almost been frightened out of his wits just now. Because he had been entangled by Hong Sanqian, who also had an 8th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, along with the other Earth Ranks from the Moon Worship Sect, it was already not bad that he was able to hold on.
However, his mission this time was to only ensure Su Wen's safety, not to eliminate the sect.
If Su Wen died, Emperor Zhou would definitely be furious.
At that time, he would definitely be punished.
Wu Kunhu's gaze swept across everyone present, causing Hong Sanqian's expression to change.
He clearly knew that he was no match just by the imposing aura the other party revealed!
Especially with Fu An in his prime condition, the defeat of his Moon Worship Sect was certain.
"Run!"
Hong Sanqian couldn't care less about those believers. With a strange cry, he turned around and ran away at an extremely fast speed.
Peng!
He was, however, stopped!
An 8th Grade Earth Rank martialist running at top speed was actually stopped just like that!
Wu Kunhu had appeared in front of him. He only coldly spat, "Kneel down and obediently be a captive! You have a chance to live!"
Seeing Hong Sanqian's hesitation, Wu Kunhu continued calmly, "Don't think about anything else. At your level, you're akin to an ant in front of me. If you don't kneel in three breaths' time, your head will fall off."
His calm tone conveyed the truth.
Su Wen got up with difficulty and walked to Wu Lie's side.
Looking at the limp Wu Lie, he asked, "You're not dead, are you?"
Wu Lie let out a weak grin, "Nope. I won't die even if you die!"
"Your father is at the Heaven Rank?"
"Not yet… Earth Rank, 9th Grade… Pinnacle."
Su Wen pursed his lips. This fellow could truly act! Su Wen even mistakenly believed that he was a Heaven Rank expert.
However, he had to admit that Wu Kunhu's might was absolutely not something Hong Sanqian could resist.
Hong Sanqian hesitated for a moment before falling to his knees!
Wu Kunhu then swept his gaze across everyone and shouted coldly, "Kneel!"
With Hong Sanqian leading the way, there was no one left that dared to defy him!
Everyone knelt down.
Su Wen said helplessly, "In the face of strength, everything is just empty talk."
Indeed, Wu Kunhu had used his formidable strength to suppress everything.
Immediately after, he and Fu An sealed off the cultivation of the upper echelons of the Moon Worship Sect. Wu Kunhu then approached Wu Lie and pressed his palm on his head!
A blood-red bug was forcefully pulled out by his palm!
It shattered instantly!
This was an extremely precise control of strength!
Right at this time, people from the Martial Inspectorate also arrived.
Fatty Ruan came in front of Wu Kunhu and bowed with a smile. "Thank you for your help, General Wu!"
Wu Kaihu said calmly, "You don't have to thank me. You were the one who gave me the news. Otherwise, Wu Lie would have died today. I should thank you!"
Fatty Ruan hurriedly said, "No, it's all Young Master Su's idea!"
Wu Kunhu glanced at Su Wen and did not say anything. He picked Wu Lie up and left the place in a few leaps.
He obviously wanted to treat Wu Lie's injuries.
After he left, Su Wen asked curiously, "This Wu Kuihu clearly has a 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, but why does he look so terrifying? Even Hong Sanqian at 8th Grade could not resist him at all!"
To Su Wen's knowledge, while the grades within a cultivation determined the amount and purity of one's Qi, when factoring cultivation techniques and battle techniques, it could still affect one's final strength in combat.
Generally speaking, it shouldn't reach this point where a grade difference could crush the other party.
Fatty Ruan smiled and shook his head. "Grand General Wu may not be a Heaven Rank cultivator, but he has a reputation."
"What reputation?"
"He's considered as the Number One in the Earth Rank!" Fatty Ruan said solemnly. "He once fought six people in a battle formation and killed four pinnacle 9th Grades from Yan Country. One was heavily injured and captured, while the last one escaped. After that battle, General Wu's name spread far and wide! Apart from Heaven Rank experts, no one dares to claim that they can defeat him. Even our Head has to be wary of him."
"One against six? All 9th Grade Earth Ranks?" Su Wen stroked his chin. Just how many 8th and 9th Grade Star Ranks had he killed today?
It didn't seem to be anything impressive.
However, just because he was able to fight one against six didn't mean that he could only fight one against six. It was also possible that he could fight seven, eight, or nine of them.
From the looks of it, this old fellow was indeed very strong.
He did not know that Fu An was already treating him as a monster!
Although Fu An was engaged in a fierce battle with Hong Sanqian, he had also seen the commotion on Su Wen's side. He had seen Su Wen kill so many experts of the same level and even experts of a higher grade by himself. Moreover, he had killed at least ten or so 8th and 9th Grade Star Rank elites.
Even he would not have been able to do such a thing when he was only at the 8th Grade of Star Rank!
He could almost predict that his report to the emperor would arouse his interest!
