Chapter 300: Chapter 176: Immortals as Numerous as Hemp
A shockwave of Qi blasted out!
It completely blew away the fog!
"Ha..."
"So many people have come. Perfect. I’ll just kill you all together."
’Tsk.’
’So people like this really do exist.’
Lu Cang had been wondering when he first came in. Since this was a lawless land, would someone try to kill everyone else?
’And here one is.’
’Should I hide, or should I watch?’
’Not that I really need to decide...’
If the opponent’s Perception Range was larger than his own, he wouldn’t be able to hide.
’His Perception Range...’
Lu Cang used his Spirituality to sense the fluctuations in Perception.
’About twenty kilometers?’
’That’s pretty far.’
This fog was capable of obstructing Perception. Even his own unobstructed Perception Range was only two hundred kilometers.
’For this guy to still have a twenty-kilometer Range while obstructed... that’s not bad at all.’
Lu Cang watched from where he stood.
But then he saw a man with closed eyes, cradling a sword, walk out from the crowd.
"To speak of killing everyone at the drop of a hat..."
"Your killing intent is far too strong."
’Hmm, this one doesn’t look like a pushover either.’
Lu Cang had already cleared the surrounding corpses. Now, he brought out a deckchair and a coffee table, taking out a bag of melon seeds to snack on.
With a sip, the iced drink on the coffee table flowed into Lu Cang’s mouth.
As for where the Ice came from...
’For a Mage, is chilling a drink not the simplest of tasks?’
"Oh... that sword."
"Haha, could you be the Sword Saint?"
’So pretentious? A Sword Saint, really?’
Lu Cang thought to himself while cracking open melon seeds.
"Interesting! I’ve heard that on the Moon Sea, no one is your match. Even the strongest heir of the War God couldn’t settle the score with you!"
"I’d like to see for myself just how strong this so-called Sword Saint really is!"
’Is this what they call a prodigy?’
’He talks a big game, but hey, buddy covered in flames... don’t you think your lines sound just like a cannon fodder’s?’
’It just makes you sound like the challenger here!’
WHOOSH!
A pillar of fire shot toward the sky as the crimson man’s body became wreathed in roaring flames, causing the surrounding mist to dissipate.
It actually cleared out a fairly open space.
The small fry had already scattered and fled, not sticking around to wait for death.
’They sure run... fast.’
’Looks like everyone’s escape instincts are pretty sharp.’
’If I ever get the urge to kill, I’ll definitely have to be more thorough and not let anyone escape.’
BOOM!
The sky-piercing Fire Pillar instantly transformed into an oval that shot straight toward the Sword Saint!
The Sword Saint didn’t move from his spot.
The instant they collided, a massive torrent of flames erupted!
The Sword Saint just blocked it with his scabbard.
Yet he didn’t retreat a single step.
"Still not drawing your sword? Quit posturing!"
BOOM!
The crimson man got in close and bombarded him with both fists!
BANG!
Yet the Sword Saint simply thrust his scabbard forward in a direct blow!
The flames reversed course, instantly dispersing the inferno that wreathed his opponent’s body!
"You are not worthy of me drawing my sword."
SWISH!
He raised his scabbard and struck down violently.
Smashing down with a speed his opponent couldn’t possibly react to!
BOOM!
With one strike, he slammed the man straight into the ground.
’It’s over already?’
Lu Cang finished his melon seeds.
He hadn’t been able to see the Sword Saint’s full strength at all.
However, he was definitely not weak.
Hearing what the crimson-flamed man said, he was probably one of the top powerhouses in the Moon Sea.
And there was another powerhouse on par with him.
’The man who inherited the legacy of the War God?’
’This Sword Saint... I wonder if that’s just a title they gave him.’
’Or if he’s the one with the actual, unique Profession: [Sword Saint].’
’I’ve heard the [Sword Saint] Profession is for those who walk the path to the pinnacle of the Sword Dao.’
The requirements to change Profession... were to master over a hundred Swordsmanship-type Combat Skills. And every single one had to be raised to the highest Level of Skill Proficiency.
’If he’s really *that* Sword Saint, he can’t be a simple character.’
’So there are some real powerhouses here after all.’
’He saved those people, so his moral compass can’t be too bad.’
’A powerhouse of unknown strength...’
’Better to be cautious. I’ll treat him as someone on the same tier as Izparut for now.’
Lu Cang didn’t put away the coffee table and deckchair.
Instead, he just turned in another direction.
On the other side of the city wall, two more people were already fighting in mid-air.
One was an Assassin, the other a Warrior...
The Warrior was muttering something about being the sixteenth strongest in the Moon Sea, the strongest of Shaluo’s younger generation.
’A gathering of prodigies, huh.’
’But it doesn’t seem to be the Secret Sea’s show.’
’They’re all people from the Moon Sea... it feels like I’ve queued for a ranked match in the wrong server region.’
"Oh..."
Lu Cang’s Perception shifted again, and he saw a familiar figure.
He saw Xiumi dragging a corpse, leisurely strolling into his Perception.
She seemed to have just offed someone, too.
She was whistling a little tune, her expression relaxed.
’I wonder if Xiumi is one of the ranked powerhouses in the Moon Sea.’
Lu Cang had intended to continue exploring, but he reconsidered.
Observing these people’s strength was equally important. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you avoid being stabbed in the back.
A powerhouse’s downfall is often caused by an intelligence gap.
’That sixteenth-ranked Assassin from the Moon Sea over there? Garbage.’
’This ninth-ranked Warrior from the Moon Sea? Garbage.’
’Those two Mages? Also garbage.’
’Uh... what Profession is that? Why are they carrying so many Weapons on their back?’
’Huh, there’s a Puppet Master here too?’
’Tsk, that guy sneaking around laying traps everywhere is a real scumbag.’
’Why is someone putting poison in the corpses?!’
’Holy shit...’
’Wait, what is that person doing to that corpse?!’
’What kind of Profession do you even have?’
’No way! Bro, are you from India?’
Lu Cang was shocked.
Before, he hadn’t been looking closely. He had only been giving the people within his two-hundred-kilometer radius a cursory scan to see where they were headed.
After all, keeping his Perception fully concentrated at all times was exhausting.
Besides, his attention had previously been focused more on searching corpses for treasure.
He wasn’t paying attention to what people who posed no threat to him were doing from such a distance.
But now that he focused his attention and took a closer look at these people...
...he felt like he was surrounded by a real menagerie of freaks.
’What the hell kind of place *is* the Moon Sea?’
