Chapter 307 - 179: Kill All the Strong
Chapter 307: Chapter 179: Kill All the Strong
Lu Cang had always maintained a very cautious attitude regarding the upper limits of this world.
At least, not until he met someone who was the undisputed strongest of their tier.
Lu Cang had always used Izparut as the benchmark for the upper limits of other geniuses.
If he ever encountered a genius whose full capabilities he couldn’t discern...
...Lu Cang would just assume they were on par with Izparut. That way, he wouldn’t get careless and be caught off guard.
’If I get arrogant and think I can defeat anyone...’
’...I might really get humbled one day.’
But as it stood, no one’s performance had truly managed to impress him.
Lu Cang stood in mid-air.
A Submerged Land Level Undead flanked him on each side, providing close protection.
Lu Cang casually began organizing his Storage Bags.
He sorted the worthless junk into one Storage Bag. Combat Skills, Magic Books, and other assorted texts went into another.
Raw corpses had their own dedicated Storage Bag.
Potions, Scrolls, miscellaneous items for drawing Rituals, materials for Sacrifice, and materials for crafting and Enchantment were all packed together.
Equipment also went into its own separate bag...
The battle below was a chaotic mess. Motley flashes of light erupted everywhere, and the stench of blood filled the air.
Suddenly.
Lu Cang’s Final Sense flared with a warning.
An incredibly fast figure, completely bypassing the hordes of Undead, was charging straight for him!
Its speed was astounding!
It was comparable to Lu Cang’s own current maximum speed!
However, the Sword and Shield Undead beside Lu Cang stepped forward!
THUD—
The assailant’s Dagger descended upon Lu Cang. It should have struck him, but in a bizarre twist, it connected with the Shield instead!
And in the moment its attack failed, an icy War Spear had already plunged into its chest.
「Bone-Freezing Body-Piercing Battle Spear」
「Ice Condensation Bone Penetration (Tier Four) · Ice Dance Stream—Three Forms·Ice Shattering Flower (Level 301)」
BANG!
Ice crystals detonated within its body, instantly causing it to erupt into a brilliant flower of ice!
Ice Spear. Ice Magic. Ice Element Combat Skill.
’Even just focusing on the Ice Element alone, I could probably be considered a very powerful Adventurer.’
The ice crystals formed a flower of ice.
The flower of ice shattered!
A single strike was all it took for an instant kill.
Then, Lu Cang extended a hand again, the Ice Spear in it replaced by the Purifying Staff of Supreme Light.
He raised the staff.
「Source·Light Forbidden Magic·Punishment·All Evils」
BOOM!
This time, it wasn’t just thirty-six pillars of light.
Under the effect of the Root Magic, one hundred and forty-four pillars of light rained down from the sky!
Lu Cang extended his left hand as well!
A banner appeared in his palm, and a wave of light instantly washed over the entire battlefield!
Every single Undead began to glow. Though they were Undead, they were now wreathed in a sacred aura.
CLANG!
「Sword Skill·Hundred Ghosts Chaos Slash」
「Sword Skill·Instant Draw Slash」
「Sword Heart·Bright Spirit Transparency」
「Sword Skill·Shashin Slash」
...
BANG!
In an instant, the Reincarnation Sword Saint transitioned through dozens of Sword Skills. With his eyes closed, he unleashed a continuous barrage of perfectly mastered Sword Skills!
However, the Speed of the 「Swift-Killing Speed Ghost」 was unimaginable!
In a flash, it seemed to attack from seven or eight directions simultaneously!
CLANG!
But his Sword Stream Hundred Cuts!
It formed an impenetrable defense in that short time, and was even continuously pressing the attack against the 「Swift-Killing Speed Ghost」.
He was actually determined to turn the tables and kill it!
Most Submerged Land Level beings possessed immense destructive power over a wide area, but they were often somewhat lacking in single-target combat.
But even so...
...their power was still far beyond the Nation Destruction Level.
Before the Swift-Killing Speed Ghost could handle it, a furious roar thundered down from the sky, shaking the very earth!
A giant human head floated in the sky.
It roared at the Reincarnation Sword Saint, unleashing a soul-shattering sonic wave!
Xiumi had already finished looting all the treasures from the Golden Body Bald Head.
It gazed up at the sky with a very complicated expression.
’That child floating in the sky...’
’...is the same child I met when I first came in, meow!’
’But why is he here?’
’And those two unfathomably powerful Undead are guarding him...’
Xiumi felt like its brain was short-circuiting.
’Could it be... that this child summoned all of these Undead by himself?’
’It seems like it.’
’After all, the Undead were prioritizing intercepting the enemies that had been chasing me, for Lu Cang.’
"Just... what is his deal, meow?"
"And what’s going on here, meow?"
"Why did so many Black Coffins suddenly appear? And how are there so many resurrected corpses of powerful experts?"
"Weren’t there supposed to be only three, meow?"
Xiumi didn’t join the battle, instead backing away slowly.
The Sword Saint, just like Xiumi, also slowly retreated. In the end, the two of them fell back to join the few others.
"What’s... the situation now?"
A man who hadn’t made a move this entire time asked.
The Sword Saint sheathed his blade, but kept his hand firmly on the hilt.
"Who knows."
"Does anyone know that kid in the sky?"
The six people present exchanged glances.
Xiumi’s eye twitched.
"That kid... he seems to be from the Secret Sea, meow."
"I ran into him on the way here. That’s all I know, meow."
"The Secret Sea?"
"No wonder I’ve never heard of him."
"Then he must have stolen a Moon Token to get in."
Seeing the power he’d displayed, that seemed entirely possible.
"So, what do we do now?"
"We can’t get out anymore... For now, let’s just wait and see."
...
The number of enemies was finite—at least, it seemed to be for now.
The battle was nothing short of brutal!
The Reincarnation Corpses that weren’t instantly killed immediately unleashed their Extreme Battle Intent, Root Magic, or an Assassin’s Killing Technique!
