Chapter 528: Lu Bing’s Persistence!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The black cracks were so dark that it seemed as if they could pull a person’s soul out of their body and suck it away. From afar, they looked like a gigantic black spiderweb was suspended in the air.
As the crowd watched on, the several thousand meters tall mountain was disintegrated, turning into tiny pieces, and completely disappeared without leaving a single trace.
Only a few minutes had passed, and the entire area looked like a piece of cake with its center dug out, leaving a several thousand meters deep pit. Perhaps many years later, this area would simply be occupied by a huge lake.
The crowd all felt somewhat relieved in their hearts. Luckily, they’d come out early; if they were a few minutes late, they would probably have disappeared alongside the mountain.
There were less than a hundred cultivators left right now. A portion of them had exited the area as soon as they came out, not even turning to look at the mess behind them, but the majority of them had been buried in the mountain and destroyed, turning into nothingness with it.
What kind of realm does one have to cultivate to to reach such a level of power? Bei Feng thought silently to himself as the motivation in his heart grew even stronger!
“Let’s go.”
Bei Feng brought Lu Bu and the rest along, quickly disappearing from the area.
In another area, Lu Bing and the other eight guards had bumped into a group of Green Wood Wolves. These wolves could be said to be the weakest Demonic Beasts among the Fourth Layer Hundred Year realm. However, there were over 20 of them surrounding Lu Bing and the rest.
No matter how weak they were, they were still Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts. Normally, it would take two of the guards joining hands to match a single Green Wood Wolf.
Apart from Lu Bing and another person who was at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, it was extremely strenuous for the rest of them to handle these Green Wood Wolves.
“Vice Captain, let’s retreat, we can’t block them anymore.”
One of the guards clutched at the wound on his chest, where three thumb-sized gashes could be seen, with blood oozing out continuously. Just a tiny bit more, and his heart would have been directly torn out of his chest.
“No! All of us are already a burden for the family head! If we still want to follow the family head, we need to find our breakthroughs and obtain life while confronting death! If we cannot even handle a mere 20 Green Wood Wolves, how will we protect the family head!” Lu Bing rejected without any hesitation.
Although Lu Bing was a girl, she was more than a match for a man. It was very rare that she changed her mind once she’d decided on something.
The entire team of guards had grown up together since they were kids. Their attachment to each other was extremely strong; it reached a point where they could be considered one family, with Lu Bu and Lu Bing having the most say among them.
When Lu Bu wasn’t there, all the decisions were made by Lu Bing.
The cultivator who spoke earlier could only back down quietly. Disregarding the poison in his wounds from the wolf claws, he swung his sword down ferociously again!
As the saying went, if men did not break through in a hopeless situation, they would then be destroyed in the hopeless situation! At this time, no one took a single step backwards. All they did was to continuously raise their swords and slash out again and again!
An oppressed army fighting with desperate courage was sure to win. Once everyone started fighting with the resolve to do or die, the strength they exploded forth with directly crushed the pack of Green Wood Wolves.
The groups’s cultivation all contained simple complementing joint attack moves. At this moment, the techniques were displayed all the more fluently. Their cooperation and the synergy between their moves were perfect. Each person only needed to pay attention to attacking with their swords, because they could completely trust their backs to their companions.
Wolf after wolf died at the hands of the group, and in less than 10 minutes, there were only five Green Wood Wolves remaining from the original 20-plus. At this moment, the five wolves had their tails between their legs as they revealed fearful expressions.
All nine in the human group were carrying numerous injuries. Most of their Blood Qi had been exhausted, but, surprisingly, not a single person had collapsed. Their bodies were covered in blood: some theirs, and some from the Green Wood Wolves.
“Aowuuuu!”
A Green Wood Wolf that was obviously larger than the others stood up, raised its muzzle to the skies, and howled.
“Wolf King!”
“Kill it and everything will be over.”
When Lu Bing felt the aura emanating from the Green Wood Wolf King, her eyes shrunk. It was extremely strong, much stronger than her!
“This Wolf King is only the leader of a small pack of wolves. There’s still hope.”
What caused Lu Bing to breathe a sigh of relief was that the left front paw of this Wolf King had been injured before, and it hadn’t completely recovered yet. Her chance of victory was not completely nil.
The Green Wood Wolf King stood up slowly, lifting its left front leg and supporting itself with its other three legs. However, the others did not find this scene comical. Instead, there was an unspeakable pride and grace in its actions!
“Kill!”
Lu Bing moved, and as soon as the Green Wood Wolf King arrived within 20 meters of her, she charged forward without hesitation, shouting wildly and slashing down with her sword.
A distance of 20 meters could be covered in the blink of an eye when it came to someone on Lu Bing’s level. In an instant, she’d already arrived within three meters of the Wolf King!
“Zeng!”
A sword keen rang out. It was impossible to tell how fast this sword was. Only a flash of white light could be seen, leaving a long-lasting afterimage behind it in the sky!
“Dang!”
The Green Wood Wolf King had a serious expression on its face, but it did not retreat. Instead, it stepped forward as if it was extending its neck in preparation for execution. Its right paw swept out, borrowing the momentum of this charge, leaving the ground for a short moment and smacking against the sword with immense precision using its claws!
The two sides clashed together, generating bright sparks and ear-piercing screeches.
Although the Green Wood Wolf King was huge in size, with its left leg injured, it could not balance itself very well, and was instantly forced back by Lu Bing for over 10 steps!
Lu Bing’s right arm which was holding onto the sword trembled slightly. After such a long battle, her strength had been depleted to a dangerous level. But instead of retreating, she continued to push forward, pursuing the Green Wood Wolf King like a persistent shadow as it backed off. Forcefully squeezing more power from the dried up Blood Qi in her body, she stabbed her long blade towards the Green Wood Wolf King!
This stab of hers was like that of a novice who’d just started learning swordsmanship. It looked decent, but there was hardly any strength behind it.
“Hou!”
The Green Wood Wolf King dug its two powerful hind legs into the ground, carving two deep trenches in the soil. Being beaten up by a weak little human was nothing but humiliation for it. After it stopped retreating, it pounced towards Lu Bing in a ferocious attack!
The enraged Wolf King bounded towards Lu Bing like a small truck. To it, Lu Bing’s tiny body was like the difference between a human and an elephant. Like a small rattan boat in the middle of the ocean, it was in danger of being overturned at any time!
The others could not help but clench their fists tightly at this scene with some unresignation. Although all of them were as close as a family, that didn’t mean that they didn’t vie among themselves to be the stronger one.
As the saying went, there was no number one in martial arts, and no number two in literacy works. All of them could deeply understand Lu Bing’s words. Not mentioning the fact that their strength was already lagging far behind the family head’s, now that they were in danger, they could only rely on a girl to protect them. This point had deeply wounded their pride as men, but it’d also ignited their thirst to improve.
The Green Wood Wolf King’s claws once again swiped towards the sword’s tip. But, unexpectedly, this straight sword actually avoided its claws with ease, going around them and stabbing towards it again!
Without any hesitation, the Green Wood Wolf King changed the trajectory of its paw. The position of Wolf King was not something that the other Green Wood Wolves chose. Rather, it’d fought and killed its way to sit on the throne by its own strength. It was definitely not a weakling!
The sword’s path transformed a total of nine times before finally escaping the wolf’s claws. However, the power in that stab as well as its speed had decreased greatly.
“Dang!”
The Green Wood Wolf King had a mocking look in its eyes as it opened its mouth, revealing an entire row of sharp white teeth. With a speed akin to lightning, it snapped its jaws over the sword, forcefully crushing the tip of this treasured sword of inestimable value!
But before the Green Wood Wolf King could lift its front claws again, it suddenly felt the strength in its body draining rapidly. Even lifting its paws felt exceedingly difficult.
In that moment, the Green Wood Wolf King only felt exceedingly lethargic. It tried its best to open its eyes and face the opponent before it, but all it saw was a patch of red.
“Plop!”
The huge Green Wood Wolf King collapsed onto the ground, its mouth still clenched over half a section of the Qingfeng sword. Only a small part of the sword along with its hilt remained. Large droplets of blood flowed out of its head, covering its eyes.
A jade-like hand was wrapped around the sword’s hilt. Lu Bing had also collapsed onto the ground at the same time as the Green Wood Wolf King. But, despite that, her hand had never let go of the sword’s hilt.
In the instant that the Green Wood Wolf King had snapped the long sword, the remaining half of the blade shone with a brilliant light akin to the shooting stars flying across the night sky. With an unbelievable speed, the sword suddenly exploded with a second burst of power, stabbing deeply into the Green Wood Wolf King’s head!
The powerful energy concentrated in the sword burst out in an instant, piercing through the Green Wood Wolf King’s head, and even shattering its Demonic Core!
“Wu~ wu!”
The remaining five Green Wood Wolves whimpered and ran away as soon as the Wolf King fell to the ground.
“Plop!”
As they saw the last few Green Wood Wolves leaving, the others immediately collapsed onto the ground on their buttocks, gasping raggedly for breath.
Everyone’s strength and Blood Qi had been completely exhausted just now, and they had been relying purely on willpower to hang on. Now that the danger was gone, they finally relaxed and displayed such an unsightly appearance.
“Quickly take the Vice-Captain and leave this place. The smell of blood here is too strong. Any random Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer Demonic Beast walking past this area would be able to kill all of us with ease.”
After resting for a few minutes and consuming some recovery medicine, the group brought the unconscious Lu Bing and left the area.
A short while after they left, loud roars rang out, and the sounds of fighting could be heard as a few Demonic Beasts began fighting over the 20-something Green Wood Wolf corpses.
Bei Feng and the rest were travelling quickly through the jungle. The more rash Demonic Beasts that attacked them along the way were all swiftly killed by Lu Bu in just a few hits. Their skin was peeled, and their tendons were plucked out. Every single bit that had any value was taken away.
Lu Bu’s strength was currently undergoing an upward curve. His requirements for flesh and blood was extremely huge. At this time, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Hundred Year realm.
Although all his cultivation from before had been turned into a purer form of energy, the experiences he’d gained from all his experiences still remained in his head.
With the support of large amounts of high-grade meat and spirit herbs, Lu Bu’s advancement to the peak of the Hundred Year realm was basically without any bottlenecks.
The gangster rabbit Gu Qi took one look at the golden Demonic Beast meat roasting on the fire and revealed a disdainful look in its eyes as it took out a carrot nonchalantly and munched on it.
Bei Feng’s mouth twitched lightly as he looked at it. He only wanted to know just how many carrots this fellow kept in its spatial ring. When it was doing something, it would munch on a carrot. When it wasn’t doing anything, it would also be munching on a carrot. Heaven knew just how many more carrots it’d hidden away!
TL/N: Sorry everyone, I was busy with an exam in the past month. Updates will be back from now.
