Chapter 75: Fierce Umbrella Bell Nine Stars Rain? Rise (~Long-lasting Object Plundered Group Point Battle, Lü Er the First to Attack
Qi Huang immediately looked over, and saw about ten people walk out from the crowd. They were both male and female, wearing uniforms of yellow and blue. The leader was nearly thirty years old, with sharp eyebrows, star-like eyes, a chiseled face, and a tall, upright stature, exuding an invisible pressure.
Qi Huang had some experience from causing trouble around over the past two years and recognized the uniform. It belonged to the disciples of the Changhe Sect, the sect that Cheng Hongling had once intended to join.
The Changhe Sect was a prefecture-level sect from the neighboring Changzhi Prefecture. If external help was not considered, its strength was even greater than the HuXiao Sect, ranking among the top ten Immortal Sects of the Xihui Dynasty.
“Number Six is actually from the Changhe Sect! No wonder they dared to hide it!”
“I heard the Changhe Sect has two Immortal Seed cultivators at the Huashen Realm. If we don’t count external help, they are indeed stronger than the HuXiao Sect.”
“Yes, the tall and upright disciple leading them is the Changhe Sect’s number one Immortal Seed, Lu Kai. His cultivation has already reached the third layer of the Huashen Realm. And half a step behind him is the second Immortal Seed, Sun Yao, whose cultivation has also reached the second layer of the Huashen Realm.”
“With these two plus eight elites from the sect, they might even have a chance to fight against the Sixth Princess, Lin Ran? That guy Lü Er is really out of luck.”
“Fellow Daoists of the Changhe Sect, cheer up! You must give everyone some relief! And make that kid give up his cultivation dreams.”
As soon as it was revealed that Number Six was from the Changhe Sect, the surrounding cultivators’ attitudes changed drastically, and they began cheering her on with “enthusiasm.”
“It’s actually people from the Changhe Sect. This will be good to watch.”
Qin Quan chuckled gloatingly.
“Yes, with their strength, they should be able to force Lü Er’s main body to appear. Then it will be clear whether he is a dragon or a worm.”
Xu Mei agreed.
“Heh heh, the person who can cure my cultivation addiction hasn’t been born yet! To place your hopes on these useless people, is there no one left in Xizhou!”
Lü Er said disdainfully.
“Xizhou? What Xizhou? Isn’t this Yongning Prefecture?”
A cultivator asked blankly, and most people in the arena also showed confused expressions.
“He’s probably talking about Xizhou in the cultivation world!”
Yun Fei explained in a low, serious tone.
“If that’s the case, does it mean he’s from one of the other four prefectures? East Prefecture? South Prefecture? North Prefecture? Or Zhongzhou?”
Ruan Lingyu looked at Xu Mei with a solemn expression.
“I don’t know. The cultivation world is too vast, it’s impossible to infer his origin just from his words and actions.”
Xu Mei shook her head helplessly.
Cheng Hongling beside her secretly clenched her fists, feeling a vague premonition.
Qi Huang, however, maintained her calm expression, thinking to herself, no matter where you’re from, once I see you, you’ll have to go back home.
“Call out your main body!”
The disciples of the Changhe Sect all walked onto the stage. Lu Kai, the leader, spoke.
“Main body? You guys are not worthy of him making a move. I alone am enough!”
Lü Er replied with his hands behind his back.
“What? You mean you want to challenge our Changhe Sect with just a clone?”
Sun Yao, the second Immortal Seed, who was slightly shorter, asked in surprise.
“You think too highly of yourself. It is you and all the sects present challenging this Young Master. My main body… you are not qualified to see!”
Lü Er slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
“Does this guy mean his main body won’t participate in the Evergreen Convention?”
“Heh heh, to challenge the elite disciples of all the sects present with a mere clone, does he think he’s one of the Nine Great Prodigies of the cultivation world!”
“Yes, even if his main body reaches the peak of the Huashen Realm, how strong can his mere clone be? Why dare he speak so arrogantly?”
“What peak of the Huashen Realm? Looking at his age, he’s only in his early twenties. If he weren’t the descendant of an Immortal, how could he have reached the peak of the Huashen Realm?”
The cultivators below discussed animatedly.
“Is that so? What if I insist on seeing your main body?”
Lu Kai’s gaze became sharp.
“Then it depends on how capable you are!”
Lü Er replied calmly.
“Can we begin?”
Lu Kai then asked the disciple from the Immortal Alliance.
“Yes! Begin now!”
The Immortal Alliance disciple quickly announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Er disappeared from his spot, vanishing like a ghost.
Before everyone could understand what was happening, with a “bang,” Lu Kai’s body was sent flying like a cannonball. The powerful impact also sent his fellow disciples behind him flying, scattering like stardust in all directions, along with patches of blood.
“Boom!”
Lu Kai’s momentum did not stop, and he smashed directly into the steps at the edge of the plaza, creating a bottomless pit.
The arena suddenly fell silent. Many people didn’t even know what had happened. The only thing they could see was that four people had disappeared from the stage.
Cheng Hongling’s eyes narrowed. The burst of speed from Lü Er’s physical body alone was comparable to her peak state after using the Wave Butterfly body technique. This was clearly not something a cultivator at the third layer of the Shentong Realm could achieve.
“This guy actually hid his strength!”
Qi Huang was also a little surprised. For a young man in his twenties, having a clone reach the third layer of the Huashen Realm was already a miracle. She didn’t expect that this was not his limit. Just how strong was his main body?
“With strength like yours, you still want to see my main body? You’re not even qualified to see our family’s watchdog.”
Lü Er retracted his right foot and said mockingly.
“Wow!”
The cultivators below reacted one after another, retreating in shock. Even the surviving disciples of the Changhe Sect on the stage were the same.
“My heavens! What did I just see? The Changhe Sect’s number one Immortal Seed was instantly killed by him?”
“Yes, this Lu Kai made it into the top ten of the Xihui Dynasty’s national Immortal Seed Ranking three years ago. Just how strong is this guy? No wonder he’s so arrogant and overbearing!”
“What’s terrifying is that he’s just a clone. Just how strong is his main body then?”
“Who knows? We’ll probably have to see if anyone can force his main body to make a move later.”
“I doubt it. Instantly killing Lu Kai, can Cheng Kang and Lin Ran do it?”
Various sects discussed amongst themselves.
“Did… Did you guys see that clearly?”
Ruan Lingyu stammered while asking her fellow disciples.
“See clearly my foot! I wasn’t paying attention, and the Changhe Sect people were sent flying.”
Shen Yuan gritted her teeth and panted heavily.
“Where did this monster come from? If we encounter him…”
Yun Fei shook her head helplessly.
Meanwhile, Lin Ran from the Longchang Sect team also looked solemn. Her ability to repeatedly defeat stronger opponents in the Evergreen Convention relied on her powerful physique. However, Lü Er’s terrifying explosive power just now was comparable to hers. If they met, it would definitely be a fierce battle.
In the Donglai Sect team, Cheng Kang, on the other hand, showed an interested expression and said, “I didn’t expect to encounter such an interesting opponent in this Evergreen Convention!”
“He is indeed quite strong, able to unleash such speed just with his physical body.”
His Master, Ye Donglai, also remarked.
“He is indeed quite fast, but he’s only around the fifth layer of the Huashen Realm. Lu Kai was instantly killed in one blow, completely due to carelessness.”
Cheng Kang analyzed calmly.
“Do you have confidence in defeating him?”
Ye Donglai asked curiously.
“Among cultivators of the same level, no one is my opponent!”
Cheng Kang answered concisely.
At this moment, the survivors from the Changhe Sect on the stage finally reacted.
“How dare you attack sneakily?”
Sun Yao, the second Immortal Seed, was furious and quickly took out his treasure sword.
“Sneak attack?”
Lü Er smiled noncommittally, then said, “Then you’d better be prepared, I’m going to walk over and sneak attack you again.”
As Lü Er finished speaking, he took a leisurely step forward, and his spiritual sense at the fifth layer of the Huashen Realm swept forward like a flood.
Sun Yao was already prepared and immediately concentrated his spiritual sense to resist. However, once a cultivator reached the Huashen Realm, every small difference in layers was a world of difference, let alone a gap of three layers. Therefore, as soon as their spiritual senses touched, his was completely defeated!
As for the other five disciples, because of the difference of an entire major realm or more, they had no resistance at all. They were all pressed to the ground, unable to move!
Lü Er’s steps were incredibly light, yet the spiritual sense ahead was like a surging tide, bringing boundless pressure to Sun Yao.
Sun Yao concentrated his spiritual sense and desperately resisted, but ultimately he was defeated. His spiritual sense was compressed into his body, and he fell into the opponent’s spiritual sea, making every movement extremely difficult.
Lü Er’s figure suddenly vanished like a ghost. When he reappeared, he had already kicked Sun Yao flying.
“Boom!”
Sun Yao spat out blood and smashed a large gap in the surrounding wall of the plaza.
“Too weak! I should have let Third Brother come!”
Lü Er shook his head in disappointment. With a thought, the remaining disciples of the Changhe Sect were thrown off the stage like sacks.
The elders of the Changhe Sect responsible for receiving them were in complete chaos, crying out as they rushed to rescue the Immortal Seeds, knowing that they were the future of the sect.
The disciple of the Immortal Alliance, seeing that the situation was decided, timidly walked up and announced, “Winner, Number Five!”
Lü Er did not immediately leave the stage, and continued to boast to the sects below: “I will make you fear encountering me from now on even more than you did yesterday!”
After saying this, Lü Er leaped down and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, walked towards the HongHua Sect.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling exchanged glances, wondering what this guy intended to do.
