Chapter 280:Arrogance of the Sword (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Translator: 549690339

The sky was still filled with drizzling rain, it was a gloomy day with the sky pressing down low.

Outside the Secret Realm, any raindrop that approached would be vaporized by the scalding air currents, then disappear without a trace.

Lu Xun, dressed in a black robe, held a sword sheath in his hand. Sword Qi was gathering at his fingertips, the small sword inside the Sword Heart was vibrating, and the smoke-like Sword Intent encircled the Sword Qi.

He was in a hurry, intending to forcefully pass the challenge.

Therefore, he wouldn’t make a move unless necessary, but when he did, it would be with the most powerful sword!

With a forward swing of his Sword Qi, the intense energy directly broke through the stone gate.

Lu Xun charged forward, swinging his sword relentlessly, his footsteps never halting.

This place was originally the site of an ancient sect from ancient times, unbeknownst to the reason, some remnants of energy still remained on the Sect Protection Array.

And the trial he had to pass was this Sect Protection Array!

Today’s Lu Xun was no longer the naive Array Path novice of old, he had some insights about Formations.

Therefore, he could already tell at a glance that during its prime, this Sect Protection Array could withstand the assault of a full-fledged Fifth Stage Great Perfection Cultivator!

But as time went on, its ability to still operate was nothing short of a miracle, let alone its prowess in its glory days.

Wall of flames formed in front of Lu Xun. At the same time, under his feet, spears made of fire were abruptly thrusting out.

This was the only energy that remained in this great Array.

He utilized [Pink Ink], the ink-colored Qi swirling around him, not even attempting to avoid the attacks.

Any change in position would be a waste of my power!

Since they can’t kill me, what is there to hide?

He brandished his sword, his momentum imposing, his demeanor arrogant!

The wall of fire was torn apart by his Sword Qi, and the fire-engulfed spears were kept firmly at bay by the ink-colored Qi.

Having leveled up continuously recently, without anyone to spar with, today was the first time he had gone all out. He could considerably feel that he was much stronger than before!

In just the span of two breaths, he had made it halfway through the challenge.

And it wasn’t the normal way of Wang Tao and others passing the challenge, it was a “True Breakthrough”!

The first half of this Sect Protection Array…

has cracked!

That is to say, if anyone else enters from the gate and makes their way to where Lu Xun stands, they would encounter no blockades.

The doors of a wild and unkempt house are now opened just for you.

Despite such an aggressive assault, Lu Xun felt that he was still too slow.

He knew all too well that a second’s delay on his part might have meant life or death difference for some of the Demon Sect disciples!

Lu Xun firmly gripped his Sword Sheath. He did have a trump card, but he couldn’t use it right now for fear of an accident.

He was afraid that if he used his trump card, it might cause the entire Secret Realm to collapse.

Given his high defense attributes, Lu Xun wouldn’t be crushed to death by the debris, however, whether the Demon Sect disciples inside could save themselves was questionable.

Fortunately, in the next moment, his Divine Sense, which had been extending outwards, sensed the presence of a group of Demon Sect disciples!

“They are running out!”

“But there seems to be one less from the count.”

Immediately following that, Lu Xun heard a roar.

This sound wasn’t one that a human could make, it was more like the angry growl of a wild beast.

“Is the Drought Corpse going berserk?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Is it Wang Tao from the Inner Sect, stalling for time by wrestling with it?” Lu Xun was unsure for the time being.

But since there was only one person remaining in the depths of the Secret Realm, he wouldn’t have to hold back any longer.

If the entire Secret Realm were to collapse, while he might not be able to protect everyone, he was more than capable of safeguarding one person.

Lu Xun gently tapped the Sword Sheath and shouted, “Rise!”

The next moment, the sword’s brilliance was dazzling, like a white day!

A Sword Qi, hundreds of Sword Qi, thousands of Sword Qi!

Countless Sword Qi erupted from inside the Sword Sheath, the grandeur of their power, the magnificence of the scene, was the peak of all his cultivation till now!

Every day, Lu Xun would infuse Sword Qi into the Sword Sheath. It loved to eat, and Lu Xun loved to feed it.

Since his last battle with the foreign Bai Beiqiu, Lu Xun never made use of the Sword Qi within the Sword Sheath on a large scale.

And now, more than a year had passed since that battle.

Lu Xun was no longer the rookie who would be exhausted after using seven or eight Sword Qi in a single day.

With his daily accumulation, the amount of Sword Qi stored in the Sword Sheath had reached a terrifying quantity!

A total of 11795 strands!

The Sword Sheath had a large appetite, it didn’t seem to focus on the quantity of stored Sword Qi but their combined sum of Spiritual Power instead.

Clearly, for today’s Lu Xun, it was akin to a bottomless pit, allowing him to fill it up endlessly, and never reaching its limit no matter how much he tried.

In terms of his current 27 Level strength, using over ten thousand Sword Qi all at once would be akin to suicide.

He couldn’t control that many Sword Qi for the time being. If he couldn’t control them, then he would be the first one to be crushed to dust.

But he could deal with over a thousand of them.

Thanks to his training in the mysterious Five Elements Cultivation Method, the total amount of Spiritual Power in his body was quite terrifying.

Moreover, his luck was good. When he drew Special Attribute Points, he drew 3 points of [Spiritual Power], which increased the strength of his Divine Sense, enhancing his control ability.

When he drew out 1700 strands of Sword Qi, he immediately felt that this was his current limit.

“It’s enough!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Intense Sword Qi swirled around him. Wherever he charged, everything would be destroyed.

Soon, he met up with the fleeing disciples of the Demon Sect.

To avoid hurting them, Lu Xun slightly changed his direction and extended the Qi flow of his [Pink Ink], very precisely…giving them a push.

He directly dragged them to his back and threw them far away.

He was afraid that the inside might collapse and crush them.

The disciples were dumbfounded, what on earth was happening before their eyes!

Over a thousand lines of Sword Qi were whirling around at high speed, they simply couldn’t see what was concealed within.

But this didn’t diminish the visual shock!

The furious Sword Qi was extremely domineering, and its posture of tearing everything apart exuded endless arrogance!

It seemed to proclaim that no matter what was ahead, it would be reduced to ruins!

As Lu Xun moved forward, he announced loudly, “It’s me.”

His deep, gentle voice was too familiar to the disciples of the Demon Sect.

Such is the effect of a Charisma rating of 10, even his voice felt like it could pierce one’s soul, utterly different from others.

“Young Elder!”

The crowd cried out in surprise, then felt greatly reassured, as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.

“Everyone, run as fast as you can!” Lu Xun shouted.

The temporary team leader, surnamed Luo, promptly called out, “Young Elder! Brother Xu Zhongcheng is still inside!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun faltered slightly, he hadn’t expected Xu Zhongcheng to be the one fighting the Drought Corpse, but he quickly responded, “Alright.”

It was a single word, but it imbued them with an endless sense of safety.

The Young Elder was there.

After separating from them, Lu Xun no longer felt restrained.

In just a short time, he broke into the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

Deep inside the Secret Realm, Xu Zhongcheng was bloodied, his shoulder so badly injured that bone was visible.

He lay on the ground, no longer having the strength to fight.

“I hope my junior brothers and sisters have managed to escape by now,” Xu Zhongcheng thought to himself.

The teen’s eyes were slightly moist, no matter how brave his previous performance, he couldn’t help but say in his heart:

“It hurts, it really hurts…”

“Why… why does it hurt so much…”

He watched as the Drought Corpse leapt toward him, ready to pounce.

Xu Zhongcheng’s eyes grew heavy, thinking that this was the end. His eyes slowly closed.

Then, he faintly heard someone chanting “Young Elder”.

Next, he heard a familiar deep voice loudly calling his name.

“Yo…Young Elder?” Xu Zhongcheng thought he was hallucinating due to the state he was in at the verge of death.

In the next moment, he saw a dazzling light!

“Is that the sun?”

“Am I seeing the sun?”

The vision in Xu Zhongcheng’s already blurred eyes couldn’t distinguish what was before him.

All he saw were blurred streams of black qi extending towards him, then firmly wrapping around him.

The next moment, this dazzling light, like a daytime meteor, fiercely collided with the Drought Corpse before it exploded!

An endless roar ensued, the destructive force of over a thousand lines of Sword Qi caused a huge noise.

Under such circumstances, the screams and cries of the Drought Corpse were insignificant, completely drowned out.

It was torn apart by the Sword Qi, shredded to pieces.

An Elite Level monster of Level 37 was wiped out in an instant, even blasted to dust!

Remember, the Drought Corpse has a very tough body.

But under this unreasonably arrogant sword, it was as fragile as a piece of paper!

At this moment, Lu Xun, who instantly killed the Drought Corpse and caused the whole Secret Realm to begin to collapse, had exhausted all his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.

His expression remained calm as he clicked on the level up button on his character panel.

His Spiritual Power and Divine Sense returned to their peak state in an instant. Aside from fatigue on other levels, Lu Xun’s strength had completely recovered. In fact, due to leveling up, he was even stronger than before!

Stream after stream of black qi tightly defended him and Xu Zhongcheng.

He pointed into the air, and the black qi lifted Xu Zhongcheng into his hands.

The green pearl in the Sword Sheath had already been taken out by him. Waves of gentle green energy flowed into Xu Zhongcheng’s body, healing his wounds.

Just before Xu Zhongcheng fell completely unconscious, all he saw was a blurry, yet familiar black robe.

A robe that let him close his eyes peacefully, and rekindled his will to live!

Outside the Secret Realm, more than ten disciples of the Demon Sect were panting, watching as the Secret Realm rapidly collapsed.

At the entrance, smoke and dust billowed. Stones of all sizes kept falling, and the surrounding stone pillars had all cracked. The Stone Door had long since fallen.

“Young Elder and Brother Xu are still inside!” This was the only thought on everyone’s mind.

The dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed at this moment, and the constant rain that had been falling all morning had finally stopped.

Strands of sunlight after the rain washed over the earth, piercing through the smoke and dust.

Following this, they saw streams of black qi floating around.

These streams of qi blocked the huge rocks, blocked everything!

Amid the sunlight and heavy smoke, a man wearing a black robe, with a calm face, carrying an unconscious teenager, walked out of the ruins.

He was approaching them, walking slowly.
