Chapter 307 - Let Us Combine Happily!
Chapter 307: Let Us Combine Happily!
Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
Green lights surged toward the sky.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Qing Ming City... Qing Ming City was actually gone!
Bang!
Bang!
Loud sounds sent tremors through their hearts.
Many people were still shaking in fear. If not for the police who evacuated them by force, they might have died by now.
However...
At this moment.
A family that had just been sent out suddenly rushed inside.
“What are you doing?!”
The police stopped a member right away. “Haven’t you taken everything with you?”
“Did you see those items that were sent blasting upward?”
The family had an emotional breakdown.
“I saw that...”
The police looked at the black figure in the distance.
“That is my mother’s grave...”
The man broke down.
The police went over and heard some faint mumblings.
“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have added plugs-in when playing games. I shouldn’t have mentioned family curses in the forum...”
Games...
The policeman was speechless.
These days, game development belonged to a niche industry. It was merely for recreational purposes. Why did he need to use a plug-in? It was no wonder he wanted to stay here to earn profit in times of trouble...
What else could he say?
“My condolences.”
The policeman sighed.
After comforting the man who used the plug-in and whose family’s grave was blasted to the sky, the police were busy again. They shifted the constructed houses on Third Ring Road further back.
Everyone was in a panic.
“Is the team leader still inside?” A policeman said in a low voice.
“Yes.”
Everyone was silent.
The team leader...
The team leader was still inside the green lights.
It seemed like he would not be coming out. They wondered what was inside the green lights. What was the team leader doing inside?!
“Should we send someone in?”
Someone was very worried.
“No need.”
Another policeman gritted his teeth. “The team leader said that our responsibility is to protect these people! As for the rest, it is useless even if we go in!”
“Yes.”
Everyone obeyed the orders.
However...
Their gazes were in the direction of the blazing green lights. They felt very worried...
Inside...
What the hell happened?!
...
Bang!
Bang!
Green lights swept the surroundings.
Lu Ming left hurriedly with Xiaobai.
However...
The green lights were all encompassing. There was no way to run.
“Xiao-Xiaojian!” Lu Ming said in a low voice.
“Understood.”
Xiao-Xiaojian dazzled.
It wanted to carve out a safe zone on the spot. However, just then the ice and snow fell from the sky onto Lu Ming...
Shush!
The green lights swept across them.
It did not sweep over the icy area.
Eh?
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
This ice and frost...
“It seems like my elder sister’s aura.”
Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat. Didn’t his sister self-destruct her Sword Embryo?!
Theoretically speaking...
After self-destruction, his elder sister should have re-cultivated. But this frost and snow...
Shush!
Fluorescent lights flashed.
The frost and snow appeared and the surrounding green lights were being pushed backward. The green lights swept over Qing Ming City, except for this one area where it kept a distance.
Bang!
Bang!
Lu Ming witnessed how the green lights destroyed everything.
Qing Ming City experienced an unexpected change!
He did not expect that the three pavilion masters would perish! Brother Cat killed one of them at the Breeze Pavilion. How about the remaining two pavilion masters?!
These guys...
Lu Ming looked around.
Among the green lights, one could see a powerful aura rushing to the sky. These people were apparently defending themselves against the green lights. These cultivators were not to be underestimated!
Buzz—
Buzz—
The frost and snow swept over them.
It blocked the green lights from Lu Ming.
Lu Ming’s gaze rested on the strange and mysterious frost and snow again. He believed that after his sister self-destructed her Sword Embryo, the frost and snow should not be able to control...
Well...
There was only one possibility!
“Your spiritual consciousness was born a long time ago, right?” Lu Ming asked.
The frost and snow were speechless.
“You can only repair the Sword Embryo once a spiritual consciousness is born! Only with the birth of a spiritual consciousness can you control the Sword Embryo even when my sister is not around!”Lu Ming said in a low voice.
The frost and snow were speechless.
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Ming thought about it and added, “I won’t tell my sister about it.”
Buzz—
There was a light glow on the frost and snow.
Eh?
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
Damn!
There was indeed a spiritual consciousness!
“It seems to be responding to you.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was shocked.
“Why can’t it convey its thoughts?”
Lu Ming found it odd.
“I reckon it has been scared stiff by your sister...”
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
This sword spirit must be the worst sword spirit in the world!
Lu Ming was speechless.
Buzz—
The frost and smoke condensed like cold ice.
Yes.
This was his sister’s Sword Embryo. It was surprising that a spiritual consciousness was born and it healed itself...
“Wait a minute, let me communicate with it.”
Xiao-Xiaojian took the initiative to lean forward.
Since all of them were sword spirits, even if it could not convey its thoughts, they could communicate in the spirit bodies’ manner. As it leaned in...
Shush!
There was a dazzling brilliance.
The frost sword was on its guard.
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
“Don’t go over.”
Xiaobai sounded somewhat embarrassed. “Xiao-Xiaobai said that your tattoos have given the other party a fright...”
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
“It is so embarrassing.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Xiao-Xiaojian was breaking down a little emotionally.
Damn!
Aren’t you the one that did that to me?!
...
Shush!
The Original Card floated in the air.
Xiao-Xiaobai leaned in towards the frost sword spirit. Lights radiated and they blinked like lights and began communicating with each other.
Tsk tsk.
Lu Ming was amazed.
Then he looked at Xiao-Xiaojian who was next to him and its green bangs seemed to be even brighter. “Xiao-Xiaojian, do you feel that you look greener...”
“Get lost!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was furious.
To hell with being green!
It was a spirit body. There was nothing to be green about!
But then again, seeing that Xiao-Xiaobai leaning so close to that sword spirit, it felt uncomfortable. Damn the Sword Embryo...
After a long while...
Xiao-Xiaobai came back.
“What did it say?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Well...”
Xiaobai whispered. “It was born a long time ago but it did not dare to say anything... The first time a spiritual consciousness was born, your sister told it to bring the Sword Embryo with it to destroy a stronghold where evil was breeding... Therefore, it did not dare to appear this time. However, it still could not escape its destiny.
“Also... It learnt mental strength and perception... However, it was scared to death by the sword spirit self-destruction experiments and her ability to self-destruct with the combined efforts of the sword spirit and Sword Embryo.
“Therefore, it did not dare to learn them.”
Lu Ming was silent.
Goodness. It sounded very sad.
What a pitiful sword spirit...
“Oh, right,
“Its name is Xiaolan. Since the Sword Embryo is blue, your sister gave it this name...” Xiaobai said.
“Nice name.”
Lu Ming sighed.
It was given its name based on its color... He turned to look at the Original Card that had many colors, including pink, green and the color of the Original Card itself. Different lights surrounded Xiao-Xiaojian. An idea came to him. “Xiaohua...”
“G-get lost!”
Xiao-Xiaojian glowed fervently.
You should be called Xiaohua!
Your whole family should be called Xiaohua!
Damn!
You are capable of nothing but bullying!
If you had the guts, you should disturb that... prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom [1.Core socialist values]... It looked around feeling guilty and it finally breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened.
“Coward.”
Lu Ming looked down on it.
“What else does it know?” Lu Ming asked.
“Hmm...”
Xiaobai listened again. “This is all... It said that although it has condensed again, it cannot use too much energy otherwise it would collapse...
“Also... The green lights seem to be more powerful than before. It seemed to be using the last ounce of energy to help people restore their strength. It can no longer withstand it...” Xiaobai said.
“Understood.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
He knew that the Sword Embryo had tried its best.
He looked into the distance.
At this moment...
The entire Qing Ming City had completely fallen.
The streets...
The shops...
Everything had turned into ruins!
Not only Qing Ming City, the thousand-year-old sect that had landed halfway had turned into ruins!
Divine Weapon Pavilion...
Imperial Beast Pavilion...
All the pavilions as well as those pavilions that did not contain any legacy had been destroyed as well! All the divine weapons and beasts surrounded the ruins.
Roar—
There was a loud roar.
A five-star spirit beast slipped away unnoticed.
Pfft!
A cultivator who had just escaped was torn apart right on the spot.
There was blood all over the sky.
Qing Ming City and the thousand-year-old sect that had just been restored overlapped with each other!
This was a living hell!
...
Breeze Pavilion.
Among the ruins.
“Are you mad?”
Li Jianli frowned.
The three pavilion masters had died. According to the original plan, they should take advantage of the power resulting from the self-destruction of the Restart Array to leave immediately and to cut off all auras and to restore their strength.
However...
Few of them actually wanted to stay!
“I am not crazy.”
The young man looked cold and sullen. “If the powerful cultivators are indeed here, we should run, however... this is obviously not the case. The strongest cultivator is merely a six-star!
“We... have been fooled by such a group of cultivators!”
His expression was ugly.
All of them were seven-stars!
They did not expect that their recovery would be destroyed by a bunch of small frays!
They felt indignant!
Therefore...
They had to take everything back!
“Jianli. The plan might be important. But... Once we execute the plan, it would mean that we have to start all over! Our status, background and everything will become null. We will be equivalent to fugitives! Is it worth it? Especially... when it’s for a group of weaklings who are not even seven-stars!”
The young man sounded gloomy. “Of course, we have to go. But before that, we have to take back all the divine weapons, spirit beasts as well as everything in the Treasure Pavilion!
“We have to leave with everything!
“Do you understand?”
The young man said coldly.
They came from a thousand years ago. Now that they descended this time, this was a new beginning for them!
They must have resources.
They must not reveal their identities!
People like Lu Ming who knew their identities must die! Otherwise, they would forever be hunted down by the families of the possessed!
They wanted to develop their sect!
It was too tiring to start anew!
It would do even if... they had to start with either a divine weapon or a dog!
Li Jianli was silent for a long time.
In the end, he had to compromise.
“Let’s get rid of them and leave immediately!
“The effect of the heaven star chart won’t last for long. If we are discovered by the powerful cultivators of this era... we who have yet to restore our strength will definitely die!”
Li Jianli’s expression was serious.
“Understood.”
The young man looked into the distance with a cold gaze.
In that case...
They would take everything back!
...
Shush!
The green lights of the Restart Array dissipated.
The green lights spread to the Third Ring Road, turning into a thick and solid green barrier, blocking Qing Ming City. Some people felt indignant and wanted to leave.
Pfft!
There were flashes of blood.
The cultivators were strangled by the green lights!
...
Divine Weapon Pavilion.
In the ruins.
The young man armed with a long spear saw the scene and had a cruel smile on his face. “It’s interesting. I thought the Spiritualists would just run away...”
Suddenly...
He looked toward the person next to him. “Can you sense the rest of the divine weapons?”
“Yes!”
That person was certain.
“Very good.”
The young man got up with a burning gaze. “Let us take all the divine weapons back!”
“Okay.”
“As well as the spirit beasts...
“If we can’t tame them, we will disassemble and destroy them...
“To hell with the Spiritualists!
“Their legacy, their resources and everything they had will become our rare opportunity! Since they died thousands of years ago, they should stay underneath obediently!
“We are the leader in this era!”
...
Somewhere.
“I don’t think we can get out.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
They had gone all the way to the edge of Third Ring Road.
Afterward...
They saw that cultivators were being killed. Right now, the entire city was blocked. It was impossible to escape.
There was no other choice.
The Spiritualists wanted to silence them.
The police wanted to kill them.
It was impossible to escape!
There was nowhere to run!
It seems that the big shots want to round us up...”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
Suddenly...
Buzz—
There were faint lights on the Sword Embryo.
“Eh?”
There was surprise in Xiaobai’s eyes.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming said in a low voice.
“Hmm...”
Xiaobai listened carefully and told Lu Ming: “It said that after the self-destruction of the Restart Array, the core of the array is the weakest. If we bring it over there... it might be able to bring us away.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up. “Do you know the way?”
Buzz—
Buzz—
The blue lights of the Sword Embryo glowed.
Let’s go!
Lu Ming felt grateful.
Unlike other sword spirits, his sister’s sword spirit was indeed reliable... Other sword spirits only knew to boast that they were ancient sword spirits, but were useless at critical moments!
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
Hence...
Lu Ming decided to leave first with the Sword Embryo.
There was no other choice.
This place was too dangerous!
The Spiritualists were devious, cunning and wicked. What about the policemen? They were ruthless and vicious.
Oh.
There were also the spirit beasts from the Imperial Beast Pavilion that ran all over the place...
Besides...
Xiaobai was with him.
He could risk his life, but he could not ask that of Xiaobai. Although she looked very excited as this was her first time in this situation...
Buzz—
Buzz—
The Sword Embryo showed the way.
However...
The faint lights attracted the attention of the spirit beasts along the way...
...
“This won’t do.”
Lu Ming’s head was aching.
He could put the Original Card aside, but he could not do so for his sister’s Sword Embryo.
Therefore...
Along the way...
While the Sword Embryo was with him, he seemed to be walking around waving a blue glow stick. It flashed and the nearby spirit beasts grew excited at the sight of it.
“Could you turn off the special effects?” Lu Ming asked.
Xiaolan was silent.
After a long while...
It glowed weakly.
“It said that a Sword Embryo is the condensation of energy. There are no special effects. This is a characteristic of energy... If it has to hide its aura, it could combine with you for the time being,” Xiaobai translated.
“Oh, that will do.”
Lu Ming was excited.
Combination?
Could it be that Xiaolan was capable of achieving being in unison with the sword?!
Shush!
Xiaolan received the message and suddenly dashed toward Lu Ming. The speed...
“Wait a minute.”
Lu Ming suddenly realized that things were not looking good.
Pfft!
The icy blue color of the Sword Embryo swept across his abdomen and inserted itself directly inside of Lu Ming...
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Damn!
T-this was what it meant by combination?!
Crap!
This is just forcing its way through...
