Gulp!

Sounds of people swallowing big gulps of saliva could be heard. Those cultivators who were regretting for not charging first began to feel relieved. Luckily, they had not struck first, or they would have been the ones lying on the ground!
Lu Bu took a step forward as intimidating blood Qi emitted from his body, and exclaimed loudly,
Ignorant bunch! Who else wants to fight me?!

The cultivators who remained in their positions earlier were too scared to move. They were even sent stumbling back by Lu Bu’s blood Qi.

Audacious! My elders, please handle this man for me!



Feeling embarrassed by the cowardice of his cultivators, Zeng San Qing glanced at the elders, hoping they would ease the situation.

Fret not, Family Head. I shall go and take his head!

An elder stepped out, looking heroic. As it turned out, he was a half-step Thousand Year King!

Kill!

Despite his old age, he had a good stature and posture. His saggy skin began to tighten up, and his white hair began to turn black as he turned from a old man into a young man.
A look of sadness flashed across Zeng San Qing’s face as he spoke to the elder,
Sigh, Elder, don’t worry. We will take good care of your family should something untoward happen to you.

The elder laughed, and said,
Haha, an old man like me doesn’t have many days left anyway. With your words, I can fight without any worries.

After all, one could not live forever if he did not attain Thousand Year King realm. Although, theoretically speaking, a Hundred Year realm fourth layer cultivator could live for 800 years, not many could outlive 700 years. That elder was already 685 years old, so even if he won, he would still die of exhaustion of blood Qi.

Old man, I would stay still and live another few more years if I were you.

Lu Bu could see the real age of the old man behind his young disguise.


The elder himself knew that he might not be able to defeat an opponent so strong!
He volunteered not because there was no other half-step Thousand Year King, but because he did not want to sacrifice someone young.

There’s nothing more to say, let’s fight!’
The elder gathered all his Qi as his eyes glowed with determination. He was aware that the fight would be his last.

What a pity. If you were younger, you would be able to break through to Thousand Year King realm. Too bad you’re old and weak now.

Before raising his Heavenly Halberd, Lu Bu shook his head and said,
Out of respect, I shall use my full force!


Unrivaled Heavenly Attack!
Lu Bu shouted and a bright moon rose from behind him!
A bout of terrifying vibrations formed inside Lu Bu’s body, making many cultivators’ hearts clench in fear!

This is a Thousand Year King!


That place is the Zeng Manor! Could there be a new Thousand Year King in the Zeng Family?




Sigh, this is the advantage of having a big family.

Many onlookers on the streets looked at the Zeng Manor’s direction and discussed.
The members of the Zeng Family, however, were in no mood for gossip. A Thousand Year King had just arrived at their house for a fight!

So this is the power of a Thousand Year King?

The excited elder focused his blood Qi and charged at the rising moon with all his might like a moth flying into the fire. All he had was his faith in his sword!
However, upon nearing it, the moon emitted light rays which permeated through the elder’s body, creating a crack ten zhang deep on the ground!
The power of the Halberd’s move left everyone in shock.
A blast of cold wind blew past, which caused the remaining cultivators to shiver, although they were breaking out in sweat due to nervousness.

Sir, we might have some misunderstandings between us. We of the Zeng Family have never offended you. Give us a chance to appease you.

Zeng San Qing’s heart shuddered as he witnessed the ray from the Heavenly Halberd flashing past him. Although it was not aimed at him, seeing it was enough to make him feel the pain of being cut by it.


Defeated by fear, Zeng San Qing changed his attitude towards Lu Bu and pleaded with him.
The Zeng Family did not throw him disapproving looks as they understood how the food chain worked in their world.
Being a family’s head did not mean being the most skillful cultivator in the family. In fact, many were just good at managing household affairs, and Zeng San Qing was a good example.
Lu Bu looked at Zeng San Qing in the eye and said tauntingly,
It is indeed a misunderstanding as I had accidentally killed your son. Since you don’t mind, we can consider our misunderstanding cleared.


Pu!


How dare you!

Zeng San Qing’s face turned white as he clenched his fist with hatred.

Heed my orders! Kill this man no matter what!

Zeng San Qing looked like a wolf gone wild, eyes burning red.

Yes!




Dragon Trap Formation!

As soon as Zeng San Qing’s words fell on their ears, the Zeng Family cultivators scurried to get into a formation. Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators and half-step Thousand Year King realm cultivators alike quickly gathered their blood Qi!
No matter what internal strife a family might be suffering from, they would still unite to fight against an invading outsider. Many had eyes on Zeng San Qing’s position, but everyone was willing to set aside their differences and fight together for the family when facing an external threat.

Bastard, I will make you suffer a state worse than death!
the disheveled Zeng San Qing swore as the Zeng Family cultivators linked their blood Qi to form a giant tortoise in the sky!
The tortoise had a crocodile’s mouth and an armor of spikes. At the size of a hundred zhang, it exuded Qi so strong it scared many citizens of San Chuan City.

It is the Zeng Family! They must have clashed with a strong opponent to use that formation!
One half-step Thousand Year King deduced before he took flight in that direction.

There is actually someone in San Chuan City who can force the Zeng Family into using the Dragon Trap Formation. So interesting.

Many teachers gasped as they looked far in the Zeng Manor’s direction.

You think you can wreak havoc here just because you are a Thousand Year King? I shall cut you into a thousand pieces to avenge my son! Kill!

Zeng San Qing stood on the head of the giant tortoise as he calmed his Qi. Underneath his calmness was a volcano ready to erupt!
The giant tortoise’s body was red, looking like a real demonic beast. Its eyes were fixed on Lu Bu and the gang as it snarled menacingly at them. It had Qi as strong as that of a Thousand Year King realm third layer demonic beast!

It’s not even a real demonic beast. Did you fools think a formation will stop me?
Lu Bu laughed as he remained unfazed. After all, this Thousand Year King realm third layer tortoise was only controlled by Hundred Year realm cultivators. It was merely a thick-skinned boot to Lu Bu!

Undying Spirit!

Lu Bu executed his move, and the land behind him instantly became a ghost land as armored spirits riding on horses appeared. One spirit was even eight zhang tall, and wielded a black halberd ten meters long.

Block! As long as we break his spirit power, he would become a toothless tiger!
Zeng San Qing howled as chill ran down his spine upon seeing the dark ghouls standing opposite him. However, vengeance gave him courage to fight on!


Ang!

The fearsome tortoise maneuvered towards Lu Bu before swinging its tail at him!

Pa!

The loud piercing noise caused windows of distant buildings to shatter and many weak cultivators to cover their ears before fleeing.

Joint Forces Gallop!


Kacha!

The spirit army behind Lu Bu howled as though they were set for victory.
A horse with blue flames revolving around its body appeared, and charged at the tortoise together with the spirits, landing heavily on the tortoise’s shell!
A large crack formed on the tortoise’s back; many spikes broke off from the shell as a result!

Pu!

The collision caused many Zeng Family cultivators to spew blood, and even some spirits dispersed into thin air.
It was a magnificent sight to behold—the two large beasts battled as they shattered the painstakingly built Zeng Manor like an earthquake.
Lu Bu was not slacking, either, as he continuously slashed at the tortoise’s shell with his halberd. The halberd weighed as much as a mountain, so it was able to create dents on the tortoise’s shell with every strike..
The Zeng Family’s cultivators held their positions with all their might as the tortoise continued to battle Lu Bu, who was hardly affected.
The tortoise, too, had potent recovery ability as the dents and cracks would repair themselves within a few breaths’ time. It was only the Zeng Family’s members who were suffering greatly.

How is it possible? Why can’t I kill you?!
Zeng San Qing shouted angrily as the tortoise was forced to retreat by Lu Bu’s attacks.

Hmmph, having brute strength without proper execution is like seeking death!


Oh well, it’s time to end this!

Lu Bu and his spirits retreated a few steps and glared at the giant tortoise.
