"Why can't girls show themselves in public?" Mu Jueqing asked in an annoyed tone .
"That's the rule," Lu Sheng replied casually .
"Who made the rule?!"
"Everyone . " Lu Sheng suddenly thought of something, and shook his head . He stood, up and said mildly, "That's enough . Little Wan, we should leave now . "
"Yes, Brother . " Duanmu Wan nodded . They were disguised as siblings in public .
Mu Jueqing was obviously flustered . She followed him, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I need to find someone . "
"I could help . There's nothing the Mu Family can't do inside of Nanli City," Mu Jueqing hurriedly promised confidently .
"No need . I know where he is . " Lu Sheng walked out of the door, and no one dared to stop him . Amid the strange stares of everyone in the restaurant, the two walked leisurely in a certain direction within the city .
Before they walked far, though, Lu Sheng slowly stopped, and glanced to both sides .
"You actually tracked me all the way here?" A familiar voice came from the top of the building to the left . A robust shape with a spear in one hand had appeared there .
"Grandfather Qi?!" the girl—Mu Jueqing, who followed quietly, suddenly exclaimed, staring at Xu Qi on the roof in disbelief .
"Qinger???" Xu Qi blanked out, but his face soon sunk .
"Should we find another place?"
"Of course!"
Lu Sheng happily agreed . He waved his sleeve, and pushed Duanmu Wan to a safe distance, then jumped into the air, completely ignoring everyone else present .
The two of them, one behind another, flew out of the street and arrived at the edge of the city wall in the blink of an eye .
The city wall was as wide as two grown men walking shoulder to shoulder, but after taking the torches and spikes into account, there was actually not much space left .
"Didn't expect you to live quietly in a city like this . If I'm correct, you still have connections with the Jing Family, correct?" Lu Sheng asked casually .
"What do you think?" Xu Qi let out a cold humph . Suddenly, two powerful auras appeared behind Lu Sheng .
Both of them wore black cloaks that completely covered their looks . It would be detrimental to their family otherwise .
"Young men nowadays seem to have forgotten to respect their elders…" one of the two said in a low-pitched voice .
"You crossed a line trying to accomplish this by force while you are in our territory . " The other was a woman; her voice was cold, and hinted at suppressed madness .
Though they were talking, all three surrounded Lu Sheng as if they were facing an enormous threat . They had heard of Lu Sheng's power from Xu Qi .
"Attack!" Xu Qi abruptly shouted, and dove toward Lu Sheng .
The other two were about to strike too, but the air suddenly shook . Lu Sheng was clearly surprised, and for some reason decided to retreat rapidly instead of fighting .
But the three people spent a lot of time trying to set up this ambush, and didn't want to give up at such a crucial moment . They immediately decided to follow .
The four of them followed in hot pursuit through the air, and left behind a white jet of air .
"Boom!!"
Inside of an abandoned villa outside of the city, Lu Sheng landed heavily on top of a rockery, and promptly shattered it to pieces .
"DIE!"
Xu Qi flashed on top of him, his blue spear sweeping horizontally toward Lu Sheng's arms so fast that afterimages were formed .
Lu Sheng raised his hand, and blocked it steadily .
"Bam!"
The immense force shattered the rocks beneath their feet again, creating a giant red crater .
A rapid series of clashes followed . Lu Sheng and Xu Qi exchanged hundreds of moves in a single breath, but there was no clear winner .
"Core Law, Spikes!" Suddenly, someone pointed at Xu Qi from afar .
Xu Qi's body was instantly filled with a dense swath of faint green spikes that were as if a perfect set of armor .
The other old man walked up, and took out a thick walking stick from his robe .
"Core Law, Return to Truth . " He pointed at Lu Sheng from a distance .
Lu Sheng instantly felt a large amount of strange energy flowing around him . The Yin Devil's natural ability to influence minds was weakened sharply .
"Two Divine Weapons' core powers? Impressive!" Lu Sheng exclaimed as his arms blocked Xu Qi's hurricane of an attack .
"Not done yet! Reflect!" Xu Qi abruptly shouted in a low-pitched voice . The spear in his hand bent into a half circle, but promptly returned to normal as it spun toward Lu Sheng .
Lu Sheng blocked it with his palm, but felt that it carried the same power he struck with . The same power, combined with Xu Qi's own power, flowed into his arm .
"Bam!!"
Lu Sheng took a few steps back . His hand started to smoke again, and even the skin of his arm started to crack, receiving a slight wound .
"This again!" He frowned .
Among the Divine Lords, Core Law was the most commonly used as well as the most fundamental part of the bloodline power .
They were the extension of the bloodline every Divine Lord controlled . Core Law didn't require much to use, and could be used at any time .
According to Lu Sheng's understanding, they were basically super powers . But, a Divine Lord's "super power" was different from ordinary powers, and usually came with extremely powerful effects .
Like this Xu Qi . He was normally not as strong as Lu Sheng . Sure, he might have been faster, but it was useless if he couldn't even break through Lu Sheng's defenses .
But with the help of his other two friends, combined with his own Core Law Reflect, his overall power was instantly increased by several times .
"Bam!!"
Lu Sheng's plam clashed once again with Xu Qi's spear .
Beside the spear's tip, there was another enormous and sharp force that penetrated deep into his palm . Even with Lu Sheng's currently fully cultivated body, he wasn't able to stop the enormouse penetrative force .
"Puff . "
Lu Sheng lowered his palm while he retreated rapidly . Drops of blood came out of the wound, but soon flowed back into his palm . His body's strong regenerative power had kicked in, but a sliver of blue lightning stopped the wound from fully closing .
The Jade Star level Xu Qi, supported by two Core Laws, was able to unleash a shocking and destructive attack . His two friends, on the other hand, didn't even come up, and instead watched from afar .
"Again!" A cold cruelty flashed across Lu Sheng's eyes . A long, golden blade formed in his palm, which he promptly slammed toward Xu Qi's head .
"Divine Might!"
Divine Might, which increased Lu Sheng's power even more than Spirit Slaughter, unleashed an explosive force so terrifying even Xu Qi couldn't dodge .
The golden blade flashed in front of Xu Qi like a hurricane full of golden lightning .
"Clang!"
He raised the spear with both hands as fast as possible, and finally barely blocked the knife .
A huge sound wave radiated outward like an explosion . The ruined walls were shattered and thrown everywhere .
Lu Sheng's body was surrounded by black smoke as he returned to his original form . His claws and long tail clashed rapidly with Xu Qi with immense force .
The battle between the two was completely even .
In the end, Divine Lords were basically men with power equal to a Divine Weapon . Most Divine Lords' physical bodies weren't strong at all . Lu Sheng was an exception to that, while Xu Qi was supported by two of his friends .
The green spike-shaped halo wound around Lu Sheng with its special Core Law Spike every time his palm connected with it .
Meanwhile, Xu Qi's own Core Law Reflect could reflect most of Lu Sheng's bodily strength .
Finally, the last person's Core Law Swamp suppressed Lu Sheng's special field to a minimum .
These were all three of their Core Laws .
A Divine Lord could use their Core Law at will, and in a large area at that . Their powerful spirit allowed them to not only control the power of Core Law, but also to use it as a weapon of mass destruction .
Core Laws were their own power, and could be used without the help of Divine Weapons . They were the true foundation of a Divine Lord's immense strength .
After all, even Divine Weapons had to be tampered with to their extreme to become Rogue Divine Weapons . Only then could they use Core Laws at will, and still might not achieve a similar level of power without the support of a Divine Lord's spirit .
Lu Sheng was obviously on the losing end . Xu Qi's power after being supported by three Core Laws was too shocking . He was basically an impenetrable porcupine .
With his extreme speed on top of all that, he was at a clear advantage .
"Nine Split Life-Ending Spear!!"
After he ruthlessly pushed back Lu Sheng's attack, Xu Qi saw an opportunity . Aimed at the opening, his spear struck with all his power .
Instantly, the spear turned into a blue line, and buried itself into Lu Sheng's chest .
"Puff!"
"Boom!!!"
Lu Sheng's whole body slammed into the ground with a boom .
The ground of the villa was completely shattered, the cracks on the ground forming deep trenches . Dark blue lightning constantly erupted from the cracks—it was Divine Weapon's power manifesting itself in the form of highly pressurized lightning leaking from Lu Sheng's body .
Core Law, combined with his Divine Weapon Divine Thunder, formed an attack that even Lu Sheng's couldn't bear . It broke through his defense in an instant, before he could even come up with a plan .
"Heavenly Play, explode!" With a cold expression on his face, Xu Qi pressed his hand down .
"Boom!"
Another explosion came from the ground, accompanied by blinding lightning . Lu Sheng's aura that lingered previously had completely disappeared .
"Finished . " Xu Qi finally sighed in relief . He specially contacted two of his closest friends, and finally got them to help at a high price, just for this .
And now, he finally took care of this person .
"Jing Hong's situation is dire, we can't delay any longer . Without spirit power to extend his life, he won't last long!" Xu Qi hurriedly sent his voice to the two people .
"Ok . " Neither of them wanted to be involved in this . The fact they even agreed to help in the first place was a clear indication they were good friends .
It wouldn't be proper for Xu Qi to ask for more .
He looked down one last time, and flew into the distance .
"Watch out!
"Careful!"
Suddenly, his two friends exclaimed in the distance .
Before he could react, pain shot through Xu Qi's lower body . Immense power surged all around, which was the last thing he sensed before he blacked out .
Below, inside of the ruinous crater, Lu Sheng lay face up . Lightning jumped around in a bowl-sized hole in his chest .
"This is the power of the Core Law? Impressive…" His right arm had turned into a set of 30-meter long claws, with blood flowing down the gaps between its fingers . However, waves of rolling, dark purple thunder surged within as if something was trying to break out fanatically .
"Don't disappoint me…" Lu Sheng stroked his wound on his chest, with a mad killing intent in his eyes .
"Boom!!"
Lightning exploded from within the claws, and an enormous monster similar to a Qilin dove toward the ground .
"DIE!" Xu Qi roared in a frenzy .
"With just you!?" Lu Sheng's face was also filled with rage . His body changed rapidly into Yin Yang Integration Mode as black flame covered him . Then, he instantly swept his claws into the sky .
