Chapter 372: [When enemies et]
What kind of eyes was Lu Xun looking at?
These eyes were hollow, lifeless, giving a sense of a blind man.
But he wasn’t blind.
As You Ying was enveloped in a cloak, Lu Xun couldn’t make out his full appearance, either.
Once he opened his eyes, You Ying noticed Lu Xun and the others, as well as the floating sword.
The large ancient altar left from the ancient tis was an important setup for the second priest in the Southern Territory.
This altar was of vital importance. Originally, it was managed by Yin Tian and his brother, but after their death, the second priest handed this task to his most trusted You Ying.
You Ying worked harder than anyone else, earnestly repairing the damaged altar.
Thanks to his constant efforts, the altar gradually took shape, and all it needs was to reactivate the statue, and it would function normally.
This place was like an old and worn out luxury vehicle. It can still be driven.
So, he integrated himself into the statue and began to awaken it.
This endeavor took him more than a month.
Over this month, he endured endless pain, exhausted, and collapsed several tis.
The statue held a hint of the source power, a chilling presence to the entire clan. Even the second priest would feel uncomfortable facing the source power, a suppression that reached the blood and even the soul!
To awaken the statue, he needed to confront this trace of source power at all tis.
Oh lord, when would this torturous ti end?
He endured and endured, until he finally reached the end.
The statue… successfully restarted!
After completing the series of actions, the half of You Ying’s body rged into the statue gradually erged, slowly opening his eyes.
To be honest, he felt as if he had been unconscious for over a month. Upon waking, he was ntally murky and his vision was sowhat blurry.
But he imdiately sensed that sothing was amiss.
—There are people here!
The protective restrictions of the altar also seem to have been broken and forcibly destroyed!
Most importantly, he felt a terrifying aura, an aura he could not resist!
Could it be that the Sect Master of the Qingtian Sect, Mo Yixi, discovered this place?
Then, he saw the sword, the sword floating in the air, pointing its tip at him!
He never imagined there would be such a defiant sword in the world. It was clearly just a magical weapon, but the aura it emitted was far more dangerous than a cultivator in the eighth stage!
This sensation was perplexing, like a soldier who wakes up after barely surviving, expecting a beautiful life ahead, only to see a cannon right at his face the mont he opens his eyes…
There should be myriad foreign swear words at this mont.
You Ying’s mood was like a roller coaster, gradually stabilizing after experiencing the thrilling leap.
“What’s the rush? I have the treasure!”
“The second priest lent the Soul Devouring Fla exactly for such ergencies!”
“You all must die!”
With that thought, he gently rubbed the red jade ring on his thumb.
The next mont…
—”Where’s my fla!?”
The red jade ring was empty. The foreign race’s treasure, Soul Devouring Fla, had vanished.
You Ying realized in an instant that things were far graver than he thought.
“Run!” This was his first thought.
Any place with a shadow was his domain.
He could rge into any shadow. In terms of fleeing, he was very confident.
But at this mont, he saw that the sword floating in the air suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It was too quick!
By the ti he reacted, the sword and the sword qi were both near.
…
…
In terms of cultivation base, according to the language of his race, You Ying would be considered seventh stage, equivalent to the seventh realm in the Heavenly Dust Continent.
He had always excelled in concealnt and escape, and since attaining this realm, few could harm him.
Shadows were everywhere in the world; he could rge into them in an instant. With this ability, he had killed many opponents, so even stronger than himself.
But this sword was too quick, to the point of being unreasonable.
True speed was invisible.
At the sa ti, there wasn’t even a chance for a reaction!
Before he could take refuge in the shadows, the Sword Qi penetrated directly through his skull.
His eyes were filled with disbelief; he could not believe that this was the outco.
He was killed in an instant.
Lu Xun looked at the sudden activation of the Sword Qi is Near, with the corner of his mouth twitching.
He could understand the Sword Qi is Near’s feelings. If its sword sheath was damaged, it would be strange if it didn’t lose its temper!
However, the intimidating foreign race general of his past life, who now suddenly died before him without even a chance to utter a word, made Lu Xun slightly uneasy.
According to the normal process, this was a major villain, a boss-level existence, the kind with a lot of screen ti… so they just killed him instantly?
“Damn, he must have been worth a lot of experience points and contribution points,” Lu Xun thought in his heart.
“But again, if my wife was hurt, I wouldn’t stop with just making a hole in his head, I’d definitely whip his corpse,” he muttered to himself.
Then, he watched as the Sword Qi is Near’s vicious Sword Qi pierced through You Ying, imdiately spreading out and tearing his body apart!
Blood was everywhere!
Lu Xun: “…”
Now, not only was You Ying completely annihilated, but everything on him was ruined, including the Red Jade Ring on his thumb!
This Red Jade Ring had a special material and it was unclear what it was made from. It was able to contain the Soul Devouring Fla and was its vessel.
Underneath the Sword Qi is Near’s strike, it did not turn into dust but was shielded, leaving it rely broken into pieces and falling to the ground.
Lu Xun looked at the red jade pieces on the ground, and saw red glimrs appearing on the pieces, then a phantom appeared out of thin air.
It was a man enveloped in a dark red cloak, of average height, average body size, and middle-aged appearance.
His eyebrows were thick and dense, and a unibrow.
His eyes weren’t large, but his pupils were deep and dark.
“Second Priest!” Lu Xun recognized him at first glance.
This was a big shot in the foreign race, ranking second amongst the three high priests.
When Lu Xun was playing Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero in his past life, he was noticed in the crowd due to his boldness on the battlefield, then was burned by the Soul Devouring Fla.
His revival tis were used up, experience points plumted, and he wasted two equipnt repair tickets.
Although he wasn’t set back to the starting point overnight, it was the biggest damages he had suffered since playing Heavenly Dust.
At that ti, Lu Xun wished for the Second Priest to die early, eager to see the scene of him being killed by foolish players.
Whether it was a plot kill or being taken down by a group of players was fine, as long as he died!
That whole month, due to heavy losses, his inco in Heavenly Dust suffered a severe setback, seriously affecting his and Lu Yu’s real life.
Regrettably, when he ca across, the Second Priest was still alive, this wretched thing seed quite robust.
Now it seems that there was a strand of his consciousness in this ring. Now that the Red Jade Ring is destroyed, he can use this strand of consciousness to detect the situation here.
The phantom glanced at the Sword Qi is Near, then at Lu Xun not far away.
He seed to recognize Lu Xun.
The iconic black robe and sword sheath, and his unparalleled appearance, were especially recognizable.
Lu Xun and he stared at each other across the space.
He could see the complex emotions in the eyes of the Second Priest.
There was anger, disgust, resentnt…
And in Lu Xun’s eyes, he saw similar emotions.
Lu Xun, looking at the phantom, thought in his heart: “If I rember correctly, both Yin Tian and You Ying are his subordinates.”
Therefore, including the last ambush outside the Western State Border, it is very likely that he was behind it.
“After crossing, it is indeed interesting. So people are closer, so people are more hostile.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He moved forward and stood in front of the phantom above the shards, staring him down the whole while.
After a few seconds of the stare-down, he lifted his right foot and heavily stomped on the shards on the ground.
“Crack—— Crack——” The shards cracked further.
In an instant, the phantom dissipated completely.
“Second Priest!” Lu Xun’s gaze fell, mumbling this title in his heart.
At the sa ti, his gaze was fixed on the three-eyed statue in the center of the altar.
This large altar, left behind from ancient tis, had been sowhat repaired by You Ying. Although it did not regain its old appearance, it already functioned normally.
Not only did the Second Priest send You Ying here, but he also gave him the Red Jade Ring. He obviously considered this place very important.
This place was likely an important step in his plan!
With this thought, Lu Xun’s face showed the gentle smile that he usually had.
——He was going to destroy this place.
