Chapter 2314: Chapter 2315: Conspiracy
He removed Zhao Mu’s hand from the sword as if disgusted.
Then he grasped the hilt of the Longsword, a sense of comfort radiated from it, invigorating his spirit.
Lu Kang, somewhat enamored, raised his hand to form a sword finger, tracing along the sword’s blade.
It has been nearly a century.
This sword was a weapon he previously wielded, accompanying him for many years.
In the prior battle, he and Lu Qiming were both nearly killed, and the sword was lost.
It was later discovered that the sword was sealed in this lake, where nearly a century of time had suppressed the Evil Qi within.
This is why Lu Kang went to Qingmu City to announce the treasure hidden here.
The nature of this sword is its Evil Qi, said to come from the Nine Netherworlds, fortuitously falling into Lu Kang’s possession.
As an evil sword, when its malevolence is suppressed, its strength naturally diminishes significantly.
Lu Kang called so many people here to revive the sword’s evil. Now that he holds it again, the malevolent energy flows nonstop from the sword, engulfing Lu Kang’s body, bringing not discomfort but rather a sense of comfort.
Unlike Zhao Mu, who was previously consumed by the Evil Qi, Lu Kang now closes his eyes slightly, thoroughly enjoying the aura emanating from the sword.
"It’s been a long time, old friend."
Lu Kang caressed the sword gently, whispered softly, seemingly indifferent to the stern gazes around him.
A few people, upon seeing Lu Kang here, retreated several steps, attempting to slip away through the dense grass as cover.
Having witnessed Lu Kang’s impressive power, they dared not even conceive the thought of resistance.
As they stepped in, from the lush grasses emerged a figure, all black as though formed entirely of Evil Qi.
It stood about three meters tall, massive, swinging its arm and grabbing those trying to flee, slamming them viciously into the ground.
The earth rumbled instantly with the impact, revealing a huge pit whereupon the strange and towering figure stepped heavily.
With a squelch, a crimson hue squeezed out from beneath its foot, staining the yellow earth.
"What kind of monster is this!" someone shouted, dumbstruck.
They stared up at this sudden monster in shock.
"Are these black-robed people supposed to be sacrifices after all."
Lin Chen sighed quietly; the familiar Evil Qi before him was not easily forgotten.
In the Kaoshan Sect, he had encountered such monsters before, hard to kill, with extremely strong combat power, incredibly troublesome.
"Xiao Bai, take Tang Ming and Jiang Ningyan away first."
Lin Chen stepped forward, the ancient sword in his hand glowed with a unique cold light, different from the aura of Lu Kang’s sword.
Roar!
As Lin Chen finished speaking, Xiao Bai slowly expanded, growing to about two or three meters in height in less than half a breath.
Soft fur from its back sprouted wings, its forehead displaying a majestic "King" character adding a sense of dignity to its huge body.
Tang Ming stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him, he never expected the seemingly weak spirit beast to grow so large instantly.
Most terrifying was the aura it emanated, leaving Tang Ming almost breathless, a testament to its absolute power.
Perhaps for this reason, Tang Ming looked at Lin Chen with a growing sense of mystique.
"Why are you just standing there, hurry up."
Lin Chen shouted sternly, just dealing with Lu Kang was challenging enough, not to mention facing so many black-robed priests whose summoned creatures are incredibly terrifying.
"Brother Lin, can you handle it alone?" Tang Ming hesitated, so many powerful enemies were present, and the lives lost so easily made those remaining tremble in fear.
"With your current strength, staying here is useless. Just take her and leave first."
Lin Chen furrowed his brow, his gaze fixedly on Lu Kang, who was also watching him with a playful look.
He didn’t let Xiao Bai carry too many people, given the circumstances, the more people taken, the more deviations could occur.
Xiao Bai let out a roar, at which Tang Ming leaped forward, not bothering with the unconscious Jiang Ningyan. Xiao Bai curled, lifting Jiang Ningyan onto its back, laying her flat in front of Tang Ming.
Tang Ming held onto Jiang Ningyan’s body as Xiao Bai rose, his head turned slightly to look at Lin Chen below, shouting loudly: "Brother Lin, take care!"
Lin Chen naturally needed no reminders; his old adversary Lu Kang was no small threat.
"Kill the remaining ones."
Lu Kang said calmly, then the black-robed figures behind him started to move. As their hands overlapped in front of them, the towering figures moved towards various places.
Though massive, their movements were surprisingly agile.
With agile shifts, several scattered figures had already fallen victim to the towering beings’ trampling and attacks, perishing on the spot.
Now, only a few immobile individuals remained.
The Jiang and Fang families stood there simultaneously, their eyes surveilling, noticing the closing encirclement of towering figures.
Seeing such a scene, Jiang Wei looked at Lin Chen with gritted teeth; he thought they were saved when Xiao Bai’s large figure appeared.
But unexpectedly, Lin Chen sent the two away, completely ignoring him.
Jiang Wei was furious; as Clan Leader, he couldn’t lose face in front of so many people. He had to stay behind.
"Still hoping for a fluke?"
Lu Kang eyed Lin Chen caught within the circle, speaking sinisterly.
"Who knows until you try,"
said Lin Chen calmly, bending forward into a fighting stance, showing no sign of fear towards Lu Kang.
Such courage, even Lu Kang couldn’t help but admire; it’s not something everyone possesses.
