To be honest…
Zhu Changfeng’s appearance had caught Luo Tian off guard.
His purpose for training in the Ghostly Mountain Range was to deal with Zhu Yaozong, who was at the Profound Master 9th rank.
Luo Tian never imagined that a Zhu Changfeng would suddenly show up!
Zhu Changfeng was also at the Profound Master 9th rank, yet his strength was much stronger than Zhu Yaozong. This was an undeniable fact due to Song Yannan being defeated within just ten moves.
Therefore, the pressure Zhu Changfeng gave Luo Tian was not light.
The spectating crowd in the square were all staring at Luo Tian and waiting for his response.
“Luo Tian, go up.”
“Go up!”
“Go fight!”
The crowd started clamoring since everyone wanted to see who was number one in Jade Mountain City.
Zhu Changfeng’s face was filled with cold aloofness as he said: “What? Are you afraid? You don’t dare to?”
Luo Tian laughed out: “I even dare to kill disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, so what’s there that I don’t dare to do?”
After saying that…
He turned to look at Li Xue’er and softly said: “Girl, bring everyone back to the Luo family first. Then have the whole family evacuate and hide up in the Ghostly Mountain Range.”
“I’ve made some preparations in the Ghostly Mountain Range so tell them not to be afraid.”
Before Luo Tian left the Ghostly Mountain Range, he had created two more puppets as war pets. Although their strength wasn’t as powerful as Ghost Dragon, those two would still be considered overlords in the outer periphery. Protecting the few hundred Luo family members shouldn’t be a problem at all.
This was his backup move.
Since he was the Luo family’s pillar, he had to consider the future of all the innocent members of the Luo family. This was his responsibility as a patriarch.
Li Xue’er frowned and said: “Big brother Luo Tian, I’m not leaving here.”
An Chunchun also quickly added: “Chunchun will also not leave big brother.”
Many of the Luo family disciples also said in unison: “Boss, we’re not leaving either.”
Luo Tian had completely won them over. Now that they had reached a point where they might all die, none of them were willing to continue living in shame. Wanting them to leave Luo Tian behind while they hid in the Ghostly Mountain Range was an impossible task.
Luo Tian was hiddenly touched by this.
Also at this time…
Zhu Yaozong loudly shouted: “All Zhu family disciples listen up! Surround them all for me and whoever dares to leave – kill on sight!”
“We obey!”
The Zhu family members started surrounding the Luo family in a circle while staring at them coldly.
Luo Tian’s mind sank as he bitterly smiled: “Even if we wanted to run now, it wouldn’t work anymore.”
“Boss, let’s just fight it out with them.”
“That’s right boss, we can definitely win with our current strength!”
“…”
None of the Luo family members were afraid, and they were even releasing thick battle intent from their bodies. Especially those elite ten that had trained in the Ghostly Mountain Range, they all looked rather eager and were just waiting for Luo Tian’s command.
Luo Tian’s thoughts were on fast word as he contemplated for a few seconds. He then said: “If I happen to die on the stage, I want you all to break out of this siege. If it’s possible, I hope that you all will protect little sister Xue’er and Chunchun because I don’t want anything to happen to them.”
Luo Tian was not confident!
Just based on Zhu Changfeng’s powerful oppressive pressure, Luo Tian could sense that he may not be Zhu Changfeng’s opponent.
Luo Tian’s cultivation had reached the Profound Master 6th rank after leaving the Ghostly Mountain Range, so he was completely confident in killing Zhu Yaozong if they were facing each other. But dealing with a Zhu Changfeng at the peak of Profound Master 9th rank, he didn’t have a single ounce of confidence.
Li Xue’er’s eyes started turning watery and red as she struggled hard to not start crying. “Big brother Luo Tian, do you want me to…”
“No need!”
Luo Tian directly rejected her since he was very clear on Leng Hanshuang’s strength. There’s no way Zhu Changfeng could even resist a single strike by her.
But…
There weren’t any free lunches in this world and everything had their conditions. Luo Tian didn’t wish for Li Xue’er to do something she was against, just to satisfy those conditions.
“Don’t worry patriarch, even if I have to expend this old life, I will definitely protect them and break out of here.” Luo Kunshan said through clenched teeth.
All the Luo family disciples had resolute eyes as steady as a mountain.
Luo Tian gave a comforting smile as he gently patted Li Xue’er’s nose. He then wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes and said: “Silly girl, you don’t need to worry about me. If I am no longer here, you still have to continue living happily each day of your life.”
The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
An Chunchun hugged Luo Tian’s thigh and muttered through a pout: “Chunchun doesn’t want big brother to get on the stage. Big brother cannot leave big sister Xue’er and Chunchun by themselves.”
Luo Tian stroked An Chunchun’s supple black hair and gently smiled.
On top of the stage…
Zhu Changfeng impatiently shouted: “Luo Tian you damn mix-breed dog, can you hurry it up a bit?”
Luo Tian’s eyes turned cold as he pulled his thigh free, glared at Zhu Changfeng and shouted: “Are you in a rush to reincarnate?”
Immediately after…
His figure flashed and immediately landed on top of the stage.
The crowd in the square started boiling in excitement.
“Hahaha… a good show is finally about to start.”
“I bet on Zhu Changfeng winning.”
“I bet that Luo Tian wouldn’t be able to resist more than three moves.”
“Song Yannan lost in under ten moves. In my opinion, Zhu Changfeng will only require a single move to take Luo Tian down.”
Zhu Changfeng took out his sword and his body started releasing a sharp pressure. While the pressure was pounding against Luo Tian like a tsunami, Zhu Changfeng said with disdain: “You’ve finally come up. Don’t worry; I will take care of those two girls after your death. I will definitely make them feel like they’re in heaven every night, hahaha…”
Luo Tian couldn’t fully resist the oppressive pressure from someone at the Profound Master 9th rank.
The pressure instantly rushed into his mind.
Luo Tian’s heart tightened as he yelled internally: “Killing intent demon core, isn’t it time for you to exert some effort?”
Suddenly…
It was as if it had heard the summons by Luo Tian, the killing intent demon core in his mind made a weng noise before channeling out. The scene inside his mind then turned chaotic.
The killing intent demon core was like a powerful army chopping up the invading pressure.
The strangest thing of all…
This so called killing intent army of Luo Tian started devouring the defeated pressure, and more killing intent soldiers were produced.
What the f*ck was going on?
Could this be the power of the killing intent demon core?
Luo Tian was lost and confused.
Zhu Changfeng was surprised by this and started frowning in secret. The oppressive pressure he released was like pouring mud into the sea, which totally pissed him off.
Immediately after…
He retrieved his pressure, and his sword started materializing a thick qi. His white figure then suddenly blurred.
“Heavenly Star Sword Skill!”
The sword stabbed out, and the sword qi was similar to a starry sky that all crashed towards Luo Tian.
Luo Tian’s eyes tightened as he roared out: “Level 2 Berserk!”
“Ommm~!”
A loud internal sound was heard, and four times the attributes exploded forth. The aura on Luo Tian’s body changed and he rushed out himself instead of waiting for Zhu Changfeng to arrive.
“Tiger Charge!”
“Thunder Strike!”
His fists were like thunder that directly punched towards a sharp sword that seemed to appear from the void.
“Humph!”
“You dare to receive my Frost Sword with your bare hands? Courting death!” Zhu Changfeng shouted in disdain. His sword then turned illusory like a flower made of swords that acted in concert with his sword qi before piercing towards Luo Tian’s eighteen acupoints. “Acupoint Sealing!”
Changing moves at the last moment?!
He was indeed the strongest disciple in the outer courts of Azure Cloud Sect.
Zhu Changfeng’s fighting talent was indeed amazing since he could change moves in such a short time. Luo Tian was thunderstruck at this point.
But…
“Lion Tiger Gold Shattering Roar!”
“Roaaaarrr~”
The sound waves swept out.
Zhu Changfeng was startled by this as he said to himself: “I never imagined this piece of trash Luo Tian had cultivated so many different martial skills. If I don’t get rid of him today, he will definitely become troublesome in the future.”
“Die for me!”
The moment the sound wave burst forth, Zhu Changfeng abandoned the thought of protecting his mind. The vibration of the sound wave was a trivial matter to him so he just used countless amount of sword qi’s to shatter it quickly.
His sword stabbed out eighteen times, and each stab would pierce into eighteen acupoints of Luo Tian.
The flow of blood in Luo Tian’s body was instantly sealed from movement. This kind of feeling was unbearable, similar to a fish on a cutting board where its fate was completely up to someone else.
In one exchange, Luo Tian was defeated!
This was the difference in strength.
Zhu Changfeng started laughing out smugly. His eyes and his expression showed complete disdain. “Hahaha, trash will always be trash. You want to fight with me? What qualifications do you have to fight with me? Hahaha…”
Was he really going to die soon?
At this time…
Luo Tian was sitting down in the world of slaughter, and across from him was a blade drenched in blood. This was the world’s most domineering blade filled with killing intent – Blood Devouring Wild Blade!
