Chapter 181: Follow-up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The conflict between humans and zombies was irreconcilable.
It was even more impossible for Lu Ming to let go of any zombie that coveted him!
Therefore, even when Lu Ming smiled and caused a look of despair on the faces of Teraoka Asaichi and Yamanaka Hitomi, he would not show the slightest hint of mercy. Their expressions were pleading, but it would not soften Lu Ming’s heart even a bit!
In his hands, he circulated the Soldier Transformation Technique and a
1.2-meter long sword emerged, grasped by Lu Ming.
Without another word, he directly swung his sword.
The sword light of the Atomic Sword Technique flew out like a crescent moon!
Lu Ming had already cultivated the Physique Realm Source Power Skill and Atomic Sword Technique to the perfect level.
In terms of power, there was an even greater difference between a Physique Realm Source Power Skill and a Mortal Realm Source Power Skill!
As the sword light swept across, everything on the scene seemed to freeze.
It could be clearly seen that under Lu Ming’s perfect realm control, the sword light slashed through the bodies of every zombie without missing a beat!
Everything seemed to freeze.
Lu Ming confidently sheathed his sword and turned to leave!
Only after Lu Ming had walked some distance away did a terrifying scene unfold upon all the zombies.
It could be clearly seen that the sword light, like maggots on bones, started to glow from the wounds!
The sword light of the Atomic Sword Technique clung and spread, gradually expanding to cover the entire bodies of every zombie.
Accompanied by a faint sound, these zombies covered in sword light were reduced to ashes, as if they had been completely incinerated like paper. Their bodies turned into ashes, drifting away with the wind until there was no trace left!
This was the terror of the Atomic Sword Technique on an atomic level, it could deliver an unstoppable and irreparable lethal blow!
Of course, there were factors of differing strengths at play.
u Ming’s high level of Atomic Sword Technique level was another reason. Due to the difficulty of cultivation, very few could actually reach the level of perfect mastery in the Physique Realm Source Power Skill…
In conclusion…
As the group of zombies turned to ashes, this incident could be considered briefly concluded.
The reason for saying “briefly concluded” was because after Lu Ming returned to the gathering place in Nanxiang, the aftermath of this incident immediately followed.
“This situation is quite complicated…’’
In Lu Ming’s small outdoor dining place, Velo frowned and said.
Lu Ming continued eating exotic beast meat to replenish his energy, while patiently waiting for Velo to continue.
Soon, he heard Velo speak again.
“The closest gathering place of the Undead Clan is the Blood Flame Division.”
No one here knew about the destruction of the Blood Flame Division.
“And those zombies from Tokyo have most likely been incorporated into the Blood Flame Division…”
“They’re tribulation transcenders and due to their significant value, neither the Blood Flame Division nor the Undead Clan will likely let this matter rest.”
This was the case of dealing with smaller problems before addressing bigger ones.
It could not be helped… This was the logic of how the world operated.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, if the ones were bullied, as long as the stronger side had some standing, they would retaliate – otherwise, how could they survive?
This was what Lu Ming was annoyed about!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming could not help but ask,
“How strong is the Blood Flame Division?”
Velo smiled wryly. “They have a Spirit Realm expert overseeing things.”
Lu Ming s frustration instantly diminished.
According to the theory of attribute multiplication, even the weakest level nine Physique Realm expert in theory still had 25.6 million three-dimensional attributes that Lu Ming could not contend with no matter what!
There was even less of a need to mention Spirit Realm experts for Lu Ming at his current level, they were like towering mountains he could only look up to!
But could you say that Lu Ming was in the wrong?
Lu Ming was definitely not at fault.
If Lu Ming did not retaliate when the other party came knocking on his door, he would naturally face the consequences.
“So my suggestion is to relocate.” Huo Sheng interjected, taking over the conversation, and then looking at Lu Ming. “Our conversation was interrupted by those zombies earlier, and I think it’s necessary to reiterate my viewpoint.”
“Nanxiang relocates as a group and settles within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
Velo’s expression remained unchanged. As an outsider, he could not offer much advice to Huo Sheng. Given the current situation, Velo believed that moving into the Hundred Thousand Mountains was indeed a viable option.
Lu Ming had nothing much to say about this.
This place was not his original home, so moving was not too much of a burden for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was troubled when he recalled Huo Sheng had mentioned before that he wanted to ask for his help… and about information related to the Aeonians.
“You’re not thinking of having me cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains to find the Aeonians, do you?”
Lu Ming did not mind about moving, but traversing the Hundred Thousand Mountains, that was something Lu Ming minded a lot!
He needed a stable environment to farm his attributes. Now that Bear
Mountain was surrounded by enemies on all sides, it was naturally not a pity to give up on the unstable environment.
However, in Lu Ming’s opinion, even if he continued to stay here, it was still more stable than crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It was not for nothing that the route was difficult!
Huo Sheng immediately smiled and said, “Where did you get that idea?”
He knew Lu Ming very well, so how could he propose something that Lu Ming would surely reject?
Thinking of this, Huo Sheng said softly.
“What I mean is that I want Brother Lu to lead the youngest, most promising, and most elite force from Nanxiang to establish a foothold within the Hundred Thousand Mountains so as to be the last flame of our Nanxiang people!”
Huo Sheng had previously mentioned that he intended to disband the current population of Nanxiang and reorganize them into a whole, not wanting to put all their eggs in one basket.
Lu Ming was the largest and safest basket Huo Sheng had prepared for the Nanxiang people.
Moreover, ever since he learned the secret of the Heaven Ascension Stairs, Huo Sheng knew very well that Lu Ming was definitely the greatest hope for Earthlings to ascend to the heavens.
It was even more impossible for him to put Lu Ming in danger!
Hearing Huo Sheng’s words, Lu Ming’s expression improved a lot.
He asked tentatively, “Then who will be the one to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains?”
This statement meant that Lu Ming had already agreed to Huo Sheng’s arrangement.
Huo Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “Colonel Bai and Duan Mei… Who else could it be?”
The development of worldly affairs was always filled with chance and coincidence.
On this side, the Nanxiang gathering place had already begun preparations for relocation – completely unaware that llachima An and the others were deserters of the Blood Flame Division, which had long been destroyed by the Insect Clan.
They had no knowledge that because of the Queen of Blades, a battle between the Insect Clan and the Undead Clan was on the brink of erupting, with no time to concern themselves with the matters of Nanxiang.
Furthermore, they had no idea that the Giant Clan’s Prince llaolie had already started mobilizing his forces, calling for reinforcements and preparing to cross the Bear Mountain to join the battle between the Insect Clan and the Undead Clan – a real threat to the people of Nanxiang…
However, the threat was not considered significant.
This was because Nanxiang was too weak and held no hunting value, and the status of being a transcender was no longer important to these collaborators of the Mother Tree…
They also had no knowledge that while the major threat had subsided, some smaller threats had not.
At the foot of Black Feather Mountain.
Apelo walked out of Haolie’s grand tent with a gloomy expression.
The dim sunlight seemed to cast a shadow over Apelo’s entire being…
First, his ally had been caught in a romantic entanglement with their arch-enemies.
Then, he had sought an audience with llaolie, attempting to secure some Heavenly Stairs qualifications for the Black Feather Tribe – but he had greatly overestimated his own standing in Haolie’s eyes.
Yes, the Mother Tree was very impressive and could obtain the Heavenly Stairs qualifications.
But even Apelo’s own tribe had not been granted all the qualifications. How could he possibly give them to an outsider like you?
You, Black Feather Tribe, will fust have to wait.
As for when that will be, it was hard to say.
Apelo had a clear understanding of Haolie’s intentions, and upon returning to his residence, he carefully contemplated and made up his mind..
