Chapter 437: Lu Shu’s Trump Cards

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nogiwa Takenobu ran like a madman. Soon they reached the entrance of the hollows! Outside the palace!
In the meantime, crowds of individual Practitioners were still trying to negotiate with those big organizations in the faint hope that they could find a way out of being their canon fodder.
But that was none of the big organizations’ business, They were only concerned about which way would most likely lead them to the relic!
Then, in everyone’s alert state, Nogiwa Takenobu, who was strong enough to chase two Heavenly Network members around, ran out crazily from a hole…
“Is he being chased by a monster? A native creature?” a person shouted in alarm.
In their impression, Nogiwa Takenobu was a peak-Class B expert. So what else could be behind him?
Instantly everyone was seized by fear!
But in the next instant, they saw flashes from inside the tunnel. What kind of creature could glow by itself?!
Then, Lu Shu dashed out with divine water all over his body…
Those Practitioners facing him were blinded at once by the Sun mirror…
“It’s him!”
“My eyes!”
Other Practitioners who were unaffected studied Lu Shu’s new style. A bronze mirror tied to his chest, emitting flickering golden lights like signals in a nightclub… What was this urge to dance to that rhythm?!
What kind of attacking techniques was that? What a freak!
However, wasn’t Nogiwa Takenobu the one chasing him just a while earlier? Why had it turned around?!
Gazing at Lu Shu’s and Nogiwa Takenobu’s receding figures, Howard drew a deep breath. “Who brought shades? Anyone?”
Howard put himself in Nogiwa’s shoes. Indeed, he would be very much disgusted if he encountered Lu Shu in the tunnel as well…
Meanwhile, the Deities were also gathering outside the hollows discussing whether to force individual Practitioners to be their canaries.
But before they could reach a conclusion, they saw Lu Shu chasing Nogiwa Takenobu out.
The leader of the Deities, “…”
Coral, “…”
Surprise! Despite Coral’s confidence that Lu Shu would be safe, the abrupt plot twist was still beyond her expectations!
The leader kept silent for a long moment. “I admire your taste, Coral. He is strong, but I find him… kinda special!”
He was referring to the Sun mirror in front of Lu Shu’s chest…
Both Lu Shu and Nogiwa Takenobu were intently engaged in their game of pursuit.
The gap in between was closing fast. Nogiwa knew well that his time was running out.
No one could escape the sequel of that double-sword technique!
Just when he was about to be caught up, Nogiwa Takenobu suddenly turned, his eyes shut tight, and swung his katana at Lu Shu with full strength.
Though knowing that the divine water could erode magical weapons, what other choice was he left with?
Was his failure certain yet? No!
All that was needed was to behead his enemy before the divine water had enough time to destroy his katana completely!
And he was fast!
A gorgeous ray of purple flashed over Nogiwa Takenobu’s head. It was about to split the divine water open and demolish Lu Shu directly!
Nogiwa could even feel the blinking light rays from behind his eyelids.
With all boats burnt, it was an instance of life and death.
In fact, Nogiwa Takenobu had yet another card up his sleeve, his tantos, to deal the final thrusts. The confined space provided the perfect conditions for the tantos, but he had to peel the divine water off Lu Shu first. The use of the ace in the hole permitted no errors!
Upon contact, the katana cleaved through the waves and thrust downwards. Just as a confident smile curled up from the corner of Nogiwa’s lips, the huge volumes of divine water actually swelled up to cushion off the tremendous impact. Then, he caught hold of the blade with his bare hands!
Bare hands against naked blade!
Nogiwa Takenobu wanted to draw his katana back, but Lu Shu’s obsession with magical weapons could never be underestimated. He simply would not let go!
“From Nogiwa Takenobu’s distress, +999!”
The movement of the divine water did not stop. It swelled up towards the katana immediately, and then swept towards Nogiwa Takenobu!
It was totally unexpected. With unstable power, he would not risk all his Spirit Qi in resistance of the highly corrosive divine water.
Without a choice, he had to forgo his katana!
What a deep-seated hatred! Nogiwa Takenobu had never expected himself to be forced into such a predicament. In fact, it was all thanks to the Heavenly Network! He would never have become so weak if the two had not tricked him into using his clandestine technique!
Otherwise, he would have no qualms with breaking through the divine water barrier with his Spirit Qi armor and put Lu Shu to death on the spot!
But it was too late now. Since neither flight nor fight could win him the battle now, he had to bet on his life!
Immediately Nogiwa extracted his tantos, concentrating the remaining Spirit Qi into a piece of translucent armor. His foundation deteriorated rapidly without the nourishment of mana. Thus, he would certainly face a downgrade of his power even if he could take down Lu Shu now!
The thought that he would never be able to climb back to Class C ever again was simply unbearable. Then, limitless hostility flooded his heart!
Now, the only thing left in his mind was to drive his tanto into Lu Shu’s heart, and take away everything he had!
But in that instant, he could only stare as Lu Shu made a quick retreat with the divine water around his katana…
Freaking shameless! You wanna run once you got my stuff?! Are you Heavenly Network a bunch of monkeys?!
“From Nogiwa Takenobu’s distress, +999!”
In the meantime, the constant light from the Sun mirror radiated outwards through the divine water, mapping undulating waves onto the walls of the cavern.
Truth be told, Lu Shu was suffering from the flashes too…
As soon as the katana was encapsulated by the divine water, the snake immediately got rid of Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow in an attempt to return to its home. But soon it also fell into the control of the water just like the katana.
The purple snake thrashed back and forth just to return to the katana, which was being consumed by the water. Finally, the tiny serpent found its way back to rest in the katana!
Meanwhile, Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow immediately returned to Lu Shu after their target was lost. The daggers glared at Nogiwa Takenobu, who had fallen into complete desperation. He risked all he had in exchange for a final blow, in vain.
At the moment, Lu Shu had used up all his trump cards to keep his distance from Nogiwa. With his flying daggers, he would be able to drain Nogiwa Takenobu to death effortlessly!
