Chapter 47 - Killing the Marquis
Seeing Liu Suifeng trying to seize the stone tablets, Yan Bugui frowned and yelled out, “Damn it, stop!”
Yan Bugui felt anger and a little bit of panic. There were countless barbarians chasing behind them right now. Within this vast forest, those barbarians were like fish in water, having their combat capabilities almost doubled. On the opposite side of this fight, the peoples of the Great Yan Dynasty performed better outside of the forest. Once they were in the forest, it would be great if they could use even half of their combat abilities. Therefore, everyone should work together and escaped from this forest. Only then they would have the chance to receive their rewards. By attempting to usurp the reward for himself, this Liu Suifeng would get them all killed!
Wu Qi’s response was extremely fast.Just as Liu Suifeng struck, he jumped up and rolled forward, kicking backward with his full force.
The kick slammed hard onto Liu Suifeng’s chest, casuing him to cry out in pain as blood dribbled out of his mouth. He was sent nearly a hundred feet away by the powerful kick, and had his head knocked against a huge tree. He was lucky to survive the collision.
Lu Quyuan let out a shrill shout, “Wu Qi, you dare to hurt the Marquis?”
Wu Qi glared fiercely at Lu Quyan and, without saying a word, continued running fast while carrying Lu Chengfeng.
A few of the guards of Liu Suifeng hastened to the rescue of their master, who had fainted after being knocked into the huge tree. At the same time, nearly thirty personal guards of Liu Suifeng raised up their nine-bolt crossbows and aimed at Wu Qi, preparing to pull the triggers. Wu Qi, on the other side, was moving his body swiftly. Just as those guards were raising their crossbows, he quickly jumped and hid behind a huge tree.
Zhang Hu and Hu Wei were following closely behind Wu Qi. Both of them had a same nine-bolt crossbows in their hands, and were aiming back at those personal guards of Liu Suifeng.
After the bloody fight back at the barbarian encampment by the lake, many of Liu Suifeng’s guards had been killed. Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Hu and Hu Wei had grabbed nine-bolt crossbows for themselves.
Looking at what happened, which would escalate into infighting soon, Yan Bugui unleashed a globe of green light behind him, and the Wind Breaking Wolf, which had appeared on his back, let out an angry roar into the air. Yan Bugui snapped, “Whoever dares to start a fight at this point and time, I’ll abolish all the titles of his family. I, Yan Bugui, am a man of my word!”
Wu Qi extended his hand and pressed down on Zhang Wu and Hu Wei’s hands. He laughing loudly, saying, “Master Yan, Wu Qi is a man who always follow the rules! Heaven as my witness, I have done nothing wrong! I did as you said, risking my life to snatch these three stone tablets from the barbarian altar!”
The seven Scouting Officers standing beside Yan Bugui released their Wind Breaking Wolves unleashed on their backs, standing in a straight line behind Wu Qi. These Scouting Officers blocked the path of Liu Suifeng’s personal guards. Yan Bugui snapped again, “What Wu Qi said was correct, the stone tablets were snatched by him from those barbarians. Liu Suifeng, if you dare to act so absurdly again, I, Yan Bugui, will kill you right now!”
When Yan Bugui showed his temper, Liu Suifeng immediately lost his courage. He hastily ordered his guards to lower their weapons. After that, he proceeded to running tamely behind Yan Bugui. A few Scouting Officers were following closely beside Wu Qi, preventing any possible assault from Liu Suifeng.
Suddenly, Wu Qi felt a soft yet continuous force was pushing his palm from below. He looked and saw a faint flow of Qi was spiraling around Lu Chengfeng’s body. Even an average human could see the faded white Metal energy and yellowish Earth energy that was slowly floating around Lu Chengfeng’s body.
After getting the help from the energy and blood essence that Wu Qi injected into his body, Lu Chengfeng, who had been stuck at the peak of the Houtian realm for years, finally broke and entered into the Xiantian realm. Judging from the natural energies his body had started actively absorbing, he was actually cultivating with a double elemental skill, those elements obviously being the Earth and Metal elements. Also, his body had the properties of Earth and Metal as well.
Liu Suifeng and Lu Quyan’s expressions became dark. Now Lu Chengfeng had become a Xiantian level cultivator? Putting aside Liu Suifeng, Lu Quyuan had thought of something suddenly: Would the Liyang Lu Family change their attitudes towards Lu Chengfeng because of this? Will the status of Lu Quhai, the real eldest son of Liyang Lu Family, and also the elder brother of Lu Quyuan, be threatened because of this?
On the other side, Yan Bugui felt extremely happy for this. There were countless barbarians chasing behind them right now. This time, all these barbarians would definitely use their full strength and all available approaches to kill them. In this critical moment, having an extra Xiantian level cultivator, even if he was only at the Embryonic Breath tier of the Xiantian realm, would be an extra safety net for them!
“Young master Lu, congratulations! Breaking through to reach the Xiantian realm is a great achievement!” Yan Bugui immediately expressed his admiration to Lu Chengfeng.
All the other Scouting Officers were looking at Lu Chengfeng with envious looks. Although they were all beast warriors, since they had joined with the souls of Wind Breaking Wolfs, and, thus, were able to possess combat capabilities equal to the Respiration tier of the Xiantian realm, but their own cultivation level was still at the peak of the Houtian realm. They could, at most, be considered Pseudo Xiantian realm cultivators. It was totally different compared to Lu Chengfeng, who was a real Xiantian realm cultivator.
Lu Chengfeng let out a few loud laughs, he then held his fist and bowed deeply to Wu Qi, saying, “Brother Wu QI, from now on, you are my blood brother!”
Wu Qi grabbed Lu Chengfeng forcefully, also carrying the stone tablets, and started to sprint forward immediately. While running wildly himself, he shouted, “Stop acting so strange. If you want to be my blood brother, so be it, but we better run for our lives quickly. It sounds like something dangerous is approaching!”
Lu Chengfeng turned around and listened carefully, and then his expression changed. He immediately grabbed Zhang Hu and Hu Wei, and sprinted forward, running for his life.
Now that Lu Chengfeng had broken through to the Xiantian realm, there was no more blockage in his meridians.Internal energy could now flow freely and continuously through his body. At the same time, natural energy from the surrounding area kept flowing into his body, replenishing his consumption. Therefore, even though he was carrying two adult men while running as fast as he could, he never felt tired. With a simple light breath, it was as if he was breathing in a river of energy. With a simple step forward, he could travel dozens of feet away. He felt as if he was running on the wind.
While enjoying the boost in strength and speed brought to him by breaking through to the Xiantian realm, Lu Chengfeng laughing out loud and said, “Wu Qi, from now on, I will share all my wealth with you!”
