Chapter 766: Chapter 248: Entering the Capital City at Night
Lu Hong glanced around the dilapidated hut and smiled faintly, âThe mighty Sword Saint of the Empire reduced to this state?â
Sword Saint Li, with a self-mocking smile, replied, âHave you come just to mock me in the middle of the night?â
âOf course not. Iâm here to find the two women your disciple offered as tribute some days ago.â
âOffered women as tribute?â Sword Saint Li was baffled, âWhat do you mean?â
With those words, Lu Hong was also confused, âYou donât know? Didnât you have Guan Yi offer beauties to gain the support of the Crown Prince of Saint Peace?â
âBeauties to gain the Crown Princeâs support?â Sword Saint Li frowned, âIf I truly wished to submit to the Crown Prince, why would I resort to such means?â
âWhat? Then someone has been using your name to make Guan Yi do these things.â
âPerhaps. I will go to the border town myself tomorrow to inform Guan Yi. If you have nothing else, you may leave now.â It was clear that Sword Saint Li didnât quite believe the news Lu Hong brought, and thus, he issued a dismissal.
âI can leave, but do you know where the Crown Prince resides?â
Sword Saint Li scrutinized Lu Hong for a long time before saying, âWho exactly are you? Are you also planning to break into the Crown Princeâs Mansion at night?â
âNot to break in, just to meet.â
âYou might not be able to meet him. Currently, the Crown Prince is in the final stages of a breakthrough in his cultivation technique. The mansion is also on high alert, guarded by three Sword Saints following the Emperorâs orders. You wonât be able to enter.â
âAlright, understood.â Lu Hong nodded, then added, âHow about we have breakfast together tomorrow?â
After a moment of contemplation, Sword Saint Li nodded, âThatâs possible.â
With three Late Stage Third Transition powerhouses stationed at the Crown Princeâs Mansion, Lu Hong might really not be able to get in. And since it wasnât Sword Saint Li who had offered the women, that left two possibilities. Either Guan Yi was lying, or someone indeed had stolen Sword Saint Liâs identity.
As for the possibility of Guan Yi lying, that would be seen from Sword Saint Liâs attitude tomorrow.
Walking out of Sword Saint Liâs humble abode, Lu Hong strolled in the old, dilapidated district when a swordsman appeared at the end of the road.
Squinting his eyes, Lu Hong sensed the overt killing intent of the stranger, which cleared his intentions.
âMay I ask your name?â
âSword Saint LuâBen Cang.â
Sword Saint Lu? It seemed he was also one of the seven Saints of the kingdom. Lu Hong then said, âHave you come looking for me?â
âYes.â
âAnd what brings you to me?â
âJust by coming here unknown and meeting Sword Saint Li, those two facts alone are enough for you to die ten times over!â
âOh wow, so mighty, huh? My arrival is unknown? How so?â
âYou are not from our realm.â
âHow did you come to know that?â Lu Hong asked, âDid Guan Yi send you the message?â
âGuan Yi?â Sword Saint Lu shook his head slightly, âYou underestimate our information organization at Saint Peace too much.â
âUnderstood.â Lu Hong nodded, looking around, âShall we fight right here? Arenât you afraid of breaking something you canât afford to replace?â
Drawing his sword from his waist, which was a replica closely resembling the Blood Holy Sword with a blood-red blade shimmering with a sinister light, it seemed this sword had claimed countless lives and was imbued with a thirst for blood.
âJust you? Youâre not worthy.â
As Sword Saint Luâs voice fell, a Formation barrier instantly enveloped the area, locking both men inside.
âHuh? Isnât this supposed to be a world without magic? Why is there still a Formation that can be activated?â
Facing Lu Hongâs confusion, Sword Saint Lu sneered, âThen why do you think we use the Demon Crystal as currency for trading?â
Spiritual Energy is the origin of all power transformation. Although unable to use Magic Power skills, a demon beast inherently transforms Spiritual Energy into Magic Power, which is stored in the Demon Crystals of their bodies.
Lu Hong instantly understood the implication.
âThank you for the lesson.â
After finishing, Lu Hong assumed a combat stance.
Sword Saint Lu pointed at Lu Hong with his sword, âDraw your sword.â
âAre you sure you want to see?â
âI am one of the ten strongest in the capital, this is the respect Saint Peace Kingdom gives you, but please also respect my Saint Peace Kingdom.â
Hearing this, Lu Hong nodded, âSorry, I will display my full strength next to show my respect for you.â
The moment the Blood Holy Sword landed in his palm, the sea of Blood Qi seemingly exploded around Lu Hong, like a giant wave striking at Sword Saint Luâs heart.
Seeing this genuine Holy Sword, Sword Saint Luâs pupils slightly constricted, âAre you really a Third Transition Bloodthirst?â
âAbsolutely!â
âGood.â Sword Saint Lu then transformed into a shadow of blood, charging fiercely towards Lu Hong.
Although this guy was a top-tier Bloodthirst from the late stage of the Third Transition, in this small realm, opportunities were too scarce, and even being in the late stage of the Third Transition, he was only an ordinary formidable being; Lu Hong, although his current strength had returned to the early stage, his real combat power could already rival that of the peak existence.
This disparity in combat power meant that it should not be very difficult to take down Sword Saint Lu.
But Lu Hong did not rush to defeat his opponent; he wanted to see what the peak combat power of this small world was actually like.
Sword Saint Lu was fast, instantly appearing before Lu Hong, swinging his heavy sword and unleashing wave after wave of blood, like a continual tide of successive surges.
Honestly, this skill isnât available in the warrior class; it must be a creation of Sword Saint Lu himself, and it seemed quite powerful.
However, its shortcomings were also quite evident. If the opponentâs total Magic Power exceeded the spellcasterâs, then it could easily be overpowering.
Thus, a bigger wave of blood emerged from within Lu Hong, rolling back against Sword Saint Luâs skill.
Though Sword Saint Lu marveled at the vastness of the opponentâs Blood Qi sea, his actions did not slow down by half a beat.
Bloodlight surged, cutting out a full moon.
After splitting the blood wave, Sword Saint Lu quickly closed in and, feeling that Lu Hongâs Blood Qi was more abundant than his own, he decisively chose close combat.
In terms of swordsmanship, Sword Saint Lu was confident in himself; after all, his killer blade had ended the lives of countless people.
Heavy Sword wielding huge swings but imparting a sense of subtleness, continuous like flowing water subtlety hiding murderous intent within its moves.
âNice sword technique,â Lu Hong blocked Sword Saint Luâs relentless attacks and affirmed.
âThe real show is still to come!â After several consecutive attacks failed to take down Lu Hong, Sword Saint Lu grew somewhat irritated â damn it, the opponent was just at the early stage of the Third Transition, how could he match him in every aspect? Wasnât the warrior class already extinct in the outside world? Why did this guy seem even more specialized than them?
With the crisp sound of clashing swords, the two blades collided; Sword Saint Lu immediately unleashed a Blood Qi Shockwave, aiming to catch Lu Hong off guard.
However, Lu Hong had already sensed it, and the Chaotic Uprising surged directly towards his opponentâs heart.
Both being of the Bloodthirst class, the intricacies of their skills were naturally well known.
Sword Saint Lu immediately released the tremendous Blood Qi held at his heart and then gathered his strength to stabilize his veins, not giving Lu Hong a chance to induce chaos in his blood flow.
Seeing the Chaotic Uprising resolved, Lu Hong switched to releasing a Blood Qi Shockwave.
Originally, Sword Saint Lu could also have unleashed a Chaotic Uprising in reverse to repel Lu Hong, but unfortunately, it seemed he was not quite skilled in this ability, choosing instead to retreat and evade.
As the Blood-Red Nuclear Bomb exploded within the isolated Formation, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Sword Saint Lu was indeed seriously injured under that impact; the power of the Blood Qi Shockwave was just too great, and despite being well-prepared, he was still torn through his defenses and his viscera were shocked.
Holding the Blood Holy Sword, Lu Hong called out to Sword Saint Lu not far away, âMy friend across, are you okay?â
Sword Saint Lu looked at Lu Hong with a very strange expression, âIs there really a warrior class in the outside world?â
âThere is, but not many. However, there should be more in the future. Speaking of the Bloodthirst class, you wouldnât believe it, but thereâs a Heavenly God-level warrior called the Warrior Deity of Rage Sun, who is also one of our Bloodthirst lineage.â
âThere are Heavenly God-level warriors outside?â
âThatâs natural.â
