Chapter 350: 350
The atmosphere inside the Purple Snow Garden stagnated .
Teams of powerful cultivators that came from afar all stared at the young man next to the stone monument . Broken limbs littered the ground and pavilion, while many men howled in pain as they struggled on the ground . Dents in the ground were filled with blood, and it looked like a sea of red from afar . It was quite a sight to behold .
Bai Jiuying felt like she'd miscalculated . She'd agreed to cooperate with these people to attack Lu Sheng as a way to test him and make up for her previous defeat, but now only regret filled her heart .
She felt like her skin was cut by sharp knives and stabbed by needles by merely being under Lu Sheng's gaze . She could immediately tell his power far surpassed the limits of her imagination .
Bai Jiuying glanced at the crowd to the side . The few people working with her had now completed blended into the crowd . She couldn't even tell if they were still there .
"You win, Young Master Lu . " She sighed wearily . Staring at Lu Sheng's half-raised sword, ready to strike at any moment, she ultimately decided to admit defeat .
Lu Sheng was a moment away from activating his sword, and was mildly surprised by Bai Jiuying's surrender . This encounter didn't seem like an accident, but she still voluntarily retreated . In reality, Lu Sheng didn't want to kill her, either . With who knew how many powerful people hidden among the crowd, the major sects were eventually going to find out if he killed one of their disciples .
Lu Sheng swept his gaze across everyone present, moving past a few so-called local masters .
"Since there doesn't seem to be any objections, why are you people still here?" He started to sternly drive people away .
The surrounding crowd fell silent, then an unfriendly voice shouted, "With this many people and masters among us, including Senior Shen and Sect Master Zhu, there's no way we can't handle just a single person!"
"He's right! We have many powerful men on our side too! Although this man may be strong, he must be tired after wounding and killing so many of our friends! This is our chance! Sky Blue Spear of the Huang Family Manor is the perfect candidate to face him directly . Why don't we invite Manor Lord Huang to test his ability first?"
"Old Wu the Third, if you are so smart, why don't you go up yourself?" Manor Lord Huang obviously didn't agree .
The twenty-plus pairs of bloody hands and feet scattered on the ground were enough to show how ruthless and powerful this young man was .
Even Senior Shen didn't speak, while the Sect Leader of the Divine Dragon Sect also quietly observed the situation unfold . Of course, no one else wanted to be the first to test the waters .
With the many true masters silent, the only ones left shouting were the weakest of small groups and sects among the underworld .
As the wind blew harder, more and more people gathered . The crowd, which was originally in the hundreds, got thicker .
All Lu Sheng could see from where he stood were heads, and everyone he saw appeared either ferocious or shrewd .
Lu Sheng looked in the direction of Shen Jianwang . The old man's face was solemn, and he quietly stood there like he had entered a trance . Judging by the slight movement in his nose and his twitching eyelid, he did notice someone powerful observing him . Yet, he still stayed quiet .
Lu Sheng wanted to laugh . This little world's overall power was very weak—even this old man who stood at the top couldn't compete with Bai Jiuyin and her people, let alone him .
The crowd tightly surrounded him like a swarm of chickens surrounding an adult, completely unaware of the fact he could kill 90 percent of the people here with one swing of his sword .
"Zhao Chengxuan?!" a shocked voice suddenly shouted among the crowd .
Lu Sheng blanked out for a moment, then promptly remembered that this body belonged to that Zhao Chengxuan, and finally looked toward the voice .
Behind the crowd, three people surrounded by a squad of armored soldiers gazed at him from afar .
The three people were Zhao Chengye, Zhao Chengfeng, and the second uncle, Zhong Yuangui .
This Zhong Yuangui was the sworn brother of the three Zhao Siblings' father . He was a master with the heavy cavalry spear, clumsy on the outside, but with a cunning mind . His name was known everywhere, from the army to the underworld .
Zhong Yuangui's face changed, and he shouted sternly, "Chengxuan, why are you there? Come back now!"
He didn't know how he was going to explaining to his eldest brother if he let his son be harmed .
Lu Sheng smiled, and didn't answer . He held his sword and leaned on the stone monument, quietly waiting for an opportunity .
Zhong Yuangui and his companions were confused when they saw that he didn't respond, and thought they got the wrong person . They said nothing else for a while .
The situation was a stalemate .
Shen Jianwang and the sect master of the Divine Dragon Sect started to gather the wounded, and soon began to clean up the wounded and scattered limbs around the stone monument . The only thing left were puddles of blood and a dark red floor .
The sky turned lighter . It was almost morning .
There was no way the Divine Weapon would emerge during daylight, which meant it was about to appear . As the time approached, Lu Sheng heightened his alertness . Not to protect himself from an ambush, but to prevent the Divine Weapon from escaping .
"Clang!"
A crisp sound abruptly came from inside the stone monument .
Lu Sheng immediately opened his eyes and grabbed at the stone monument .
"Boom!"
Before he could grab it, the stone monument exploded into pieces, and a bright red light shot out into the sky, trying to fly out to the west .
"It's getting away!" Lu Sheng jumped up and flew out like an arrow .
Bai Jiuying and a couple other people all shot out as well, following tightly behind him .
They moved too fast, and even Shen Jianwang and Zhu Side only had the time to draw their weapons and run a few steps before the people and Divine Weapon they were chasing disappeared in the distance .
"This… . Wha… what!?"
