Chapter 467 - Kill!

Chapter 467: Chapter 220 Kill!Liu Mei and Lu Hong had similar personalities, and as their conversation deepened, they found they were getting along increasingly well, leaving to Rhea, who was sidelined and unable to join in.

During their conversation, Lu Hong learned that the Liu Family had a heritage of warrior professions, but the Heavenly God they revered was different from the Air Sect God of the wilderness.

As Lu Hong continued to gain knowledge about the Star Sea, he gradually realized that even though people might share the same profession, the Heavenly God they inherited skills from could vary. For instance, the God of Light worshiped by the Holy Court of the Eagle Alliance imparted the Path of Holy Light, which was distinctly different from the Holy Light’s power that was promoted through the mainstream Knight profession of the empire. That meant, gods controlling types of holy light were not unique; each spread their inheritance across the Star Sea.

The Heavenly God of the Liu Family seemed to be much more powerful than the gods of the wastelands, endowing the Liu Family with an abundance of knowledge, which was one of the reasons why the Liu Family was so powerful and prosperous.

Liu Mei was a typical practitioner of Air Sect’s profession, a Great Grandmaster of the Third Transition, who, due to the lack of a suitable divine path, turned to training his physique through the power of strength gods.

As the two were getting immersed in their conversation, a sudden outburst roused them from their increasingly close exchange.

"Lu Hong! Come out here!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Mei’s face darkened.

Rhea whispered from the side, "Sounds like it’s your brother, isn’t it?"

Listening to the scolding from outside the valley, Lu Hong smiled and said, "You two sit here for a bit, I’ll be right back."

"There’s no need," Liu Mei stopped Lu Hong and said, "I’ll handle this, Brother Tu, just wait a moment."

"You? He’s here for me," Lu Hong said, puzzled.

"Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s just sibling stuff. You just watch," Rhea explained to Lu Hong.

Soon enough, they saw Liu Mei return to the pavilion, twisting Liu Wushuang’s ear.

"Gentle, be gentle," Liu Wushuang pleaded with a troubled face, "Why do you resort to violence the moment you show up?"

"Heh," Liu Mei scoffed coldly, "What are you doing here? Looking to trouble Brother Tu?"

"What? Can’t I? The Holder of the Divine Child Decree should be the worthy one. He’s just at the Second Transition, undeserving of it. It should be given to me," Liu Wushuang babbled, "Tell me, sister, do you fancy him? Don’t worry, as long as he hands over the Divine Child Decree, I’ll immediately write to father, asking him to propose on your behalf."

"Get lost!" Liu Mei, unable to contain her anger, kicked Liu Wushuang into the water beneath the waterfall.

"You’re my sister, yet you help outsiders instead of me?!" Liu Wushuang emerged from the water disgruntled, "You believe if I tell father that you’re bullying me?"

"Tattle?" Liu Mei sneered, "Try it, and see if I don’t break your dog legs."

Liu Wushuang’s face changed slightly, knowing all too well the ferocity of his sister, having been beaten up countless times as a child. He could tell by Liu Mei’s tone that she was serious!

"Well, if you don’t want to give it, why get violent with your own brother?"

Ignoring Liu Wushuang’s complaints, Liu Mei turned to Lu Hong to apologize, "I’m sorry, my brother’s a bit off in the head. He has disturbed you."

"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all," Lu Hong replied with a smile, finding this sibling dynamic to be quite amusing, having never witnessed anything like it.

"Let’s continue our talk, and ignore him," Liu Mei took her seat again, eager to continue their previous conversation about the Eagle Alliance that Lu Hong had brought up.

Lu Hong shook his head slightly and said, "Doesn’t seem like there will be an opportunity today, we can talk another time."

Liu Mei’s expression changed slightly, slightly dissatisfied, "Come on, a big man like you shouldn’t be so petty. My brother was just talking nonsense."

Obviously, she thought Lu Hong was making a fuss about Liu Wushuang’s behavior.

"Don’t talk nonsense, my mood isn’t because of your brother," Lu Hong said as he summoned the Blood Holy Sword and, channeling the Blood Qi Shockwave, slashed fiercely towards the mountainside of the valley.

Suddenly, waves of blood surged towards the sky, bursting forth with astonishing aura.

In an instant, Liu Mei understood, and with a somber expression turned to Liu Wushuang, who had just emerged from the lake, "Did you bring someone tailing you here?!"

"Ah?" Liu Wushuang was taken aback, "I was very careful!"

"It’s not your brother’s fault. The pursuer has excellent Tracking Technique," Lu Hong, holding the Blood Holy Sword, stepped out of the pavilion and spoke, "Well, since you’ve all come this far, why not show yourselves?"

"Hehehe."

After Lu Hong’s remarks, three figures emerged from the shadows, with the leader chuckling, "Didn’t expect a small Second Transition youngster like you to detect our presence."

"Small youngster?" Lu Hong chuckled, "Aren’t you being a bit arrogant?"

"After all, you are just at the Second Transition, could you possibly escape from the palm of my hand?" The leader was a late-stage Third Transition strongman, who had first instigated Liu Wushuang and then followed in secret, his plan was seamless. In his eyes, the Holder of the Divine Child Decree was already in his pocket.

At this moment, Liu Mei stepped forward, "Gentlemen, don’t you think you’re underestimating me a bit?"

"Right, right, me too!" Liu Wushuang leaped out of the water, landing beside Liu Mei, "You’ve got some nerve trying to set a trap for me."

"I naturally hold the Liu siblings in high regard, didn’t you see the two beside me? They are specially invited to deal with you."

The leading man’s powerful adversaries stepped forward, their Third Transition later-stage aura bursting forth, locking onto Liu Mei and Liu Wushuang.

Liu Mei was at Third Transition Level 2, and although Liu Wushuang was at Level 4, that didn’t necessarily mean he was stronger than his Level 2 sister. Suddenly faced with later-stage fighters, they wouldn’t instantly be defeated, but they would inevitably be entangled.

Liu Mei understood that if the opponents could hold her back, they would have the chance to kill Lu Hong and steal the Artifact.

"Brother Tu, you go first, I’ll hold them off for you," Liu Mei spoke seriously, "Don’t worry, I won’t die."

"Right, right, hurry and follow me." Liya, being even weaker, at the Second-Transformation Peak like Lu Hong, couldn’t partake in this level of fight and started dragging Lu Hong to flee.

But Lu Hong refused, "Are we going to flee every time someone tries to snatch the Artifact in the future?"

"What do you want then? Fight to the death with them? Don’t be stupid...?" Liya hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Hong transformed into a crimson meteor, charging at the leading man.

The man’s face lit up with joy, as if seeing the Artifact flying toward him and he laughed heartily, "Ha ha, bring it on!" He then threw a punch at Lu Hong.

Divine Descent!

With vigorous strides and a sudden burst of Holy Light, it cloaked Lu Hong, elevating him into an epic War God. Having been tempered by the second trial, just as the Priest had said, the War God’s blood was truly integrating into Lu Hong’s body. The power of Divine Descent was incomparable to before, boosting him by a large margin.

Lu Hong didn’t plan for a prolonged battle. The Angry Blood Warrior unleashed his Second Transition ultimate Skill, Sacrificial Strike, channeling his vitality into a ferocious slash.

As the sword light neared, the man slowly realized something was amiss, but it was already too late. The magic power amassed in his fist disintegrated in an instant.

"Not good!" The man was aghast.

Amidst his cry, Lu Hong mercilessly severed one of his arms.

"You?!" The man, enduring the intense pain, stumbled back repeatedly. He didn’t understand what bizarre Skill the young man had used to break through his magic power, but now was not the time to ponder: "Won’t you quickly help?!"

His words snapped the two flanking men out of their shock, who hurriedly channeled their magic power toward Lu Hong.

Blood Qi Shockwave!

Another powerful skill was unleashed.

In Liu Wushuang’s astonished gaze, it looked as though a small nuclear bomb had exploded, causing the whole valley to crumble.

The three central fighters were naturally not in good shape, but luckily, their formidable strength allowed them to barely withstand it.

Unfortunately for the leader, before he could even relish his survival, he found that Lu Hong had already grabbed his shoulder.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

"I... I..."

Before the man could finish speaking, a flash of the sword, and a head rolled onto the ground.

Lu Hong casually kicked it into the lake.

After the matter was settled, he turned to the two men, whose faces were filled with apprehension, "What about you? Do you also wish to die?"

Hearing the implied threat in Lu Hong’s voice, the two men immediately turned to flee, not daring to hesitate.

"Brother Tu, what a move!"

Astonishing blitz-like offenses had Liu Mei full of admiration, "So this is the legendary magic immunity from Holy Light?"

Before Liu Mei had time to marvel, Lu Hong deactivated his Divine Descent state, "Yes, it is."

"Truly, seeing is believing!" Liu Mei exclaimed, then kicked Liu Wushuang standing beside her, "Didn’t you want to snatch his Artifact? Try it if you dare!"

"No, no, no." Seeing how effortlessly Lu Hong could kill, Liu Wushuang had no courage left and hurriedly responded, "I just wanted to have a look; I’ve never seen the Artifact before, just wanted to observe."

"Well, have a look then." Lu Hong didn’t mind and tossed the Artifact from his Space Ring to Liu Wushuang.

At that moment, Liu Wushuang had no thoughts of stealing the treasure and was even tempted to throw away the hot potato, quickly smiling apologetically to Lu Hong, "I dare not, I dare not, please take it back."

With a chuckle, Lu Hong took back the Artifact, and Liu Mei, irritated, kicked Liu Wushuang back into the lake, "How can the Liu Family have such a coward like you?!"

In truth, Liu Wushuang wasn’t really a coward; he was known as the Resolute Scholar, very stubborn, just shaken by Lu Hong’s split-second tactics.

In his view, after the Third Transition, killing each other wasn’t easy, even for those two levels apart. If the other really wanted to escape, it might not be easy to kill them. But Lu Hong’s actions completely toppled his perception; being able to kill at the same level was one thing, but to kill across levels, and at least nine sub-levels at that, who could take it? Was this a horror movie or what?
