Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zeng San Qing’s face darkened. “Insanity! It won’t be easy to break the Dragon Trap Formation even if you are a Thousand Year King!” he said in a husky voice.
As the Zeng Family’s trademark move, the formation would not be that easy to break.
Usually even Thousand Year King realm first layer cultivators could not break through the Dragon Trap Formation. It had been the main reason why the Zeng Family beca the top family in San Chuan City.
The Dragon Trap Formation was ford by the connection of hundreds of cultivators’ blood Qi, so every attack from the opponent would be shouldered by all those cultivators.
Although the formation could not do harm to Lu Bu, it was still able to hold on against him as long as the cultivators’ blood Qi was not exhausted.
Furthermore, Zeng San Qing had already notified the city lord of the presence of a Thousand Year King!
The city lord could be considered as half a Zeng Family mber as he was the son of a Zeng Family official. He was talented and able to improve his skills greatly to Thousand Year King realm. Afterward, he married the daughter of a Zeng Family’s elder. Zeng San Qing was sure that he would interfere at such a critical stage!
“Hmph, that’s why I said you don’t know anything about strength,” Lu Bu said, expressionless. The advantage of attaining Thousand Year King realm was gaining the ability to use spiritual powers!
“Lu Shi!” Lu Bu gave a deep howl, and the spirits ca together to form a giant ten zhang tall!
“Neigh!”
The sound of a horse neighing could be heard as a giant flaming horse galloped onward, carrying the giant general on its back, creating a brilliant sight!
“Hong!”
Terrifying Qi rose from both the horse and its rider, shaking the ground surrounding them and terrorizing everyone around.
“Joint Forces!”
The robes of Lu Bu started flapping on their own as Lu Bu focused and executed the move!
“Ss!”
The giant horse raised its front hooves and leaped into the sky, galloping towards Lu Bu. It beca a ray of light after colliding with Lu Bu’s body, and eventually disappeared!
“Conquer The World!”
Lu Bu looked like he had lost all human emotions and only had heart for war! Even if it ant using up his entire army!
His entire body was enshrouded by black mist, and his eyes were like dark tunnels, ready to swallow his enemies!
“Capture The Dragon!”
Everyone in the Zeng Family looked at the demonic looking Lu Bu with unease.
“No way, there is no move that can break the formation of our Dragon Trap Formation!”
“Another Thousand Year King realm second layer cultivator had attacked us once a hundred years ago, but still failed to break our formation!”
The Zeng Family mbers mumbled amongst themselves, trying to comfort themselves. As they reassured themselves, they regained confidence, and the tortoise beca sturdier.
Then, Lu Bu took one step forward, revealing a full moon shining brightly behind him.
A second step, and the moon beca a crescent!
Following the third step, the space under his feet exploded, revealing dark cracks, and the moon started to rotate!
“Now, at a critical stage for our family, we need everyone to gather as much Blood Qi as possible till our city lord arrives. He will end our crisis!” Zeng San Qing encouraged his fellow mbers after witnessing the terrifying moon.
“Protect our family till the end!” everyone shouted in unison, causing countless glass items to shatter and break!
Everyone knew that they would be targeted by people they had offended in the past should their family fall.
“Ang!” As the Zeng Family gathered their blood Qi, clouds of smoke rose and got absorbed by the tortoise’s body, making it howl towards the sky.
The original spikes on the beast’s body ca off and were floating in the air, aid at Lu Bu and the gang, ready to strike! Each spike was the size of a table and red from the blood Qi.
“World!
“Beholder!”
Lu Bu gave a long howl, and as vibrations travelled through his body, powers not any inferior to the Thousand Year King realm third layer beast’s ca into being. The three steps had been a way of collecting energy, so he had beco full of blood Qi!
“Weng!”
As Lu Bu spoke, a halberd swayed and the moon spun faster towards the tortoise!
“Ang!” The tortoise looked as though it ca alive as fear flashed across its eyes. Hundreds of spikes shot out like arrows, blocking the view in front of Lu Bu!
“Weng!”
“Pu-chi!”
As Lu Bu swung his halberd, the horse and general acted like a shadow following his actions, and the latter swung his halberd at the sa ti!
The sound of space tearing apart could be heard clearly as Lu Bu swayed his Heavenly Halberd. There was no ray nor tremor, but as soon as the spikes reached the area 50 ters in front of him, they turned to dust and disappeared.
Then, as though the spikes floating around the tortoise got hit by so impact, they froze in their movents before turning around and flying in the opposite direction!
“Clang!”
The scales of the tortoise also began to fall off and roll into the shape of a sharp spike. Combined with the Qi in the scales, they had beco sharp weapons cutting away at the shell of the tortoise, creating sparks.
There were even so flying past the tortoise and straight into the Zeng Manor!
“Pu!”
“Pu!”
Under such ferocious attacks, at least one-third of the Zeng Family’s cultivators spewed blood as a result of internal injury. If not for the defensive force created by their formation, at least half of them would have died!
“No worries! We’ve managed to block the attack. The city lord will be here soon! The opponent’s attack is indeed strong, but I bet he can’t use it too many tis!” Zeng San Qing tried to up the morale of his people after seeing how badly affected his people were.
However, before Zeng San Qing could finish his speech, a full moon reappeared!
The full moon flashed a beam of light before cruising towards the tortoise, landing on its head!
Zeng San Qing controlled the tortoise to change its direction. Although the formation had the disadvantage of not having spirit power, it allowed the tortoise to move at a speed as fast as that of a Thousand Year King’s!
The thing Zeng San Qing feared the most happened. Space around the tortoise started to harden like a pool of mud, making it unable to move.
The situation was tough, but the tortoise eventually wrestled free. However, the moon was already prepared to inflict damage.
“Pu!”
A soft crack resounded. It was so soft that only Zeng San Qing heard it.
Tremors started to diminish as the moon disappeared without a trace. Its movents were so fast that even a half-step Thousand Year King could not see its whereabouts!
Ten miles away from the Zeng Manor, in a majestic building, a man in white stood, looking troubled.
“My love, are you really going to just stand there and watch? All these years I have never had any requests for you, and now I am begging you: please help the Zeng Family!”
A lady in her mid-twenties pleaded desperately with the man standing beside her.
“The Zeng Family is already finished. Even if I interfered, it would not change the outco,” the middle-aged man replied in a calm tone, making his thoughts hard to decipher. The woman, however, was brokenhearted by his reply.
“My husband! How could you be so cold! The Zeng Family had provided you with resources to aid you even before they beca powerful. They treated you better than any family would treat their son-in-law, yet now that you have beco successful, you are going to repay them by not helping them?!”
Zeng Yue found it hard to believe that her husband could be so cold and heartless.
“The Zeng Family had indeed treated well. They did so by killing my father and then giving the surna Zeng. If it weren’t for your father, I would have exterminated the Zeng Family first thing after receiving the resources! For you, I have already showed them rcy by sparing their lives. Plus, they have already gained benefits from my position as the city lord, so what more do you want to do?” Gu San Sheng talked about the past half-smiling, half-crying.
“No... It can’t be... There must be soone sowing discord!”
Zeng Yue’s face turned pale as she had a hard ti believing his words. If Gu San Sheng was telling the truth, then the Zeng Family had indeed been too lucky.
“There are more things you don’t know about. You thought the Zeng Family gave resources because they thought highly of ? No, it’s actually your father’s decision. I only owe a debt to your father, not the Zeng Family. Before his passing, he had looked for to ask to show rcy to the Zeng Family and look after you.” Gu San Sheng had a complicated expression on his face as he spoke about the past. “Now you understand, right? Your father had already extended their lives for decades, so they should be satisfied with the result.”
“No... It can’t be true!” Zeng Yue mumbled repeatedly with lifeless eyes looking in the direction of the Zeng Manor.
A middle-aged man hurriedly ran in and knelt down on one leg. Gu San Sheng had called for his subordinate.
“Your subordinate is here!” The man respectfully greeted him.
“Your Madam is tired, bring her to her room,” Gu San Sheng ordered before walking away.
