Chapter 298: Chapter 176: The Ranks of Immortals, Thick as Hemp
’Killing even children... That’s truly ruthless.’
Lu Cang looked at the corpse on the ground.
’If it were me, I definitely couldn’t do something so cruel.’
’Of course, if that child’s body housed the reincarnated soul of some great demon lord, that would be another story.’
Lu Cang stepped over the body and continued his search.
The Tier Six King Level Undead he had sent out to scout also broadened Lu Cang’s field of view.
They had flown a great distance but still maintained a perceptual link with Lu Cang.
However, they didn’t possess a Divine Level Final Sense.
Their Perception was severely limited in the dense fog.
’A battlefield covered in corpses...’
’Why does this feel so familiar?’
An image flashed through Lu Cang’s mind.
The place where he had fought War God Kai Jia had also been a battlefield just like this, covered in corpses.
’Could it be him?’
’No, it’s hard to say.’
After all, it was perfectly normal for a battlefield to be full of dead people.
Lu Cang quickened his pace.
After walking for a while, his Perception swept over the area and discovered something that looked rather valuable. A corpse was clutching a gray seed that was continuously shedding faint embers.
WHOOSH!
Lu Cang transformed into a streak of light, closing the distance in an instant.
He landed in front of the corpse.
He crouched down slightly and used Mage’s Hand to retrieve the seed.
"Hey."
A shout came from nearby.
"I saw that thing first."
Lu Cang ignored the person beside him, turned, and kept walking.
"Brat! You’re too arrogant!"
"Do you think you can look down on everyone just because you awakened a little early?!"
WHOOSH—
The fog behind him blasted apart as a wave of Qi erupted.
Lu Cang turned his head to look at the man.
The man had indeed been approaching the corpse, which was why Lu Cang had suddenly accelerated to grab the item before he could.
Lu Cang spoke. "I believe that ownerless items belong to whoever picks them up first."
"Are you determined to fight me for it?" Lu Cang’s tone was flat.
Before him stood a one-eyed man.
He held a Black Blade in one hand and met Lu Cang’s gaze.
"Hey, hey, I saw it first, and then you came over and snatched it, right?"
Lu Cang: "You could have run faster."
"Heh heh, an early awakener at such a young age. Is your family really comfortable letting you enter the Forgotten Realm?"
"Here, no one who dies is ever remembered."
"You must be a genius, right?"
Lu Cang: "I suppose you could say that."
"Where are you from, sir?"
However, upon hearing Lu Cang’s response, the Black Blade-wielding man before him just chuckled coldly.
"Heh heh... A genius?"
"Let your Uncle here tell you something: the one thing the Forgotten Realm doesn’t lack is geniuses!"
"Brat, if you don’t hand over that gray seed, you’re going to learn a hard lesson."
"And me? I don’t particularly enjoy hitting children."
He stabbed his Black Blade into the ground and clasped his hands together, cracking his knuckles.
’A genius... huh?’
Lu Cang remained vigilant. After all, he really didn’t want to run into another character like Lu Luwei.
If he had to fight a Level 5 like Lu Luwei, it would be a real headache.
BANG!
The man before him vanished and was already throwing a punch at Lu Cang!
BOOM!
As the punch flew out, he slightly retracted its force just before it was about to hit Lu Cang!
As he was about to strike Lu Cang’s body...
He realized the sensation was wrong!
POOF~
The Illusion dissipated like a bubble.
’An Illusion?’
’When?’
Lu Cang stood deep in the fog, watching this scene with a placid expression.
The hundred-layer Shield on his body had been active for some time.
’But... can someone who can’t even see through an Illusion be considered strong?’
From the moment the man had spoken to him, Lu Cang hadn’t let his guard down.
’It doesn’t seem like he’s actually trying to kill me, though.’
The man suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately retreated, trying to grab his blade!
But the moment he turned...
He saw Lu Cang’s figure right behind him.
Demon Quenching Technique—Second Form: Demon Ascension Heaven-Shattering Strike
BAM!
A knee slammed into the man’s chest.
His body shot backward, soaring majestically into the air.
His sternum... was completely shattered.
He endured the excruciating pain and tried to twist his body around to find Lu Cang.
But he suddenly felt a tremendous force from behind!
BOOM!
A downward kick split the air, crashing down from the sky!
Invincible Stream: Sixth Form—Unintentional Celestial Splitting Fall
BOOM!
The man crashed into the ground like a comet.
’A genius?’
’Where’s the genius?’
Lu Cang landed beside him.
’If this is what counts as a genius, isn’t that a bit of an insult to the title?’
"Hey."
Lu Cang picked up the man’s Black Blade.
’This blade actually has a fairly powerful Ghost Soul sealed inside it?’
However, Lu Cang didn’t extract the Ghost Soul directly, because it seemed to be an integral part of the Weapon. If he removed the Ghost Soul, the Weapon’s Power would be greatly diminished.
This Black Blade, like his own Magic Wand, had an exclusive Restriction on it. If the Restriction wasn’t undone, others who obtained it wouldn’t be able to unleash the Weapon’s Power.
Otherwise, if the Weapon were knocked from your hand in battle...
Letting your opponent use your own Weapon against you would be just too foolish.
But the moment Lu Cang took hold of the blade, he undid its unique Seal and immediately applied his own Restriction.
From now on, he was the master of this blade.
’Truly... idiotic.’
’Who tosses their weapon aside during a fight?’
’At the very least, couldn’t he have put it in his Storage Space?’
"You. Your name, where you live, your Profession, why you came here, and what the rules are. Tell me everything."
Lu Cang planted his foot on the man’s back.
He pressed the blade against his neck and asked.
He had finally caught someone who didn’t know what was good for them. With Xiumi, Lu Cang hadn’t felt right about beating her up for information.
