Chapter 118
118 The peak of the foundation building realm
The Jade wind clarity sword flashed with a green light and slashed at Zhao Pingliang, who was sitting on the stone bench.
Seeing her aunt’s attack, xueting, who had been holding it in, also made her move. She waved her hand and the breeze wood vine gourd, which had been ready for a long time, spat out a vine. It followed Lu mingchao’s sword and whipped Zhao Pingliang.
“Look carefully! It was the Lu clan’s cultivators who made the first move!” Zhao Pingliang suddenly shouted. His voice instantly spread throughout the entire Pingyao County.
It was as if he was waiting for the two female cultivators of the Lu clan to make the first move so that he would have an excuse to fight back.
Lu Qing was now floating above the battlefield. His consciousness was looking at the battlefield below him expressionlessly.
This Zhao Pingliang looked fearless and even dared to speak up. He naturally had something to rely on. Lu Qing could tell that this fellow’s abilities were almost at the peak of the foundation building stage. Moreover, from the glow on his body, he had at least a few decent level two high-grade magic equipment. He might even have level three talismans.
Ming Chao and xueting had not made enough preparations for this trip. If they really fought, they would not be able to gain any advantage.
In fact, the Zhao clan’s incident might have been premeditated. They wanted to use this as an excuse to kill one or two foundation building cultivators of the Lu clan and dampen their spirits.
however, Qianqian … Lu Qing sneered in his heart. I’m here. How can I let you have your way? ” Don’t you know that all the cultivators of the Lu clan are dead?”
He cursed in his heart to ease his anger.
Zhao Pinggu’s words had not only angered mingchao and xueting, but it had also completely enraged Lu Qing.
His enemy was right in front of him when his beloved daughter died. Lu Qing was not a man to let him off when he said that he should have killed all of them.
During the battle of the northern border a year ago, Lu Qing still had a few battle exchange items left. He had drawn two out of ten in a row the last time, and one of them was a three-star sword talisman.
He would give mingchao and xueting a two-star spiritual energy boost or power boost depending on the situation.
If it really didn’t work, he would directly take out the three-star sword talisman and kill them with one sword!
Regardless of what other tricks this person with the surname Zhao had up his sleeves, Lu Qing had already treated him as a dead man.
Mingchao’s Jade wind clarity sword and xueting’s Vine Whip did not seem to have any effect.
Suddenly, an earthy-yellow shield that looked like a turtle shell appeared beside Zhao Pinggu.
This was the Earth Spirit Rock turtle shield, a level two high-grade defensive magic tool.
Under the activation of Zhao Pingliang’s superior spiritual power, this shield-shaped magical treasure withstood the attacks of the two and defended steadily.
At the same time, he waved his hand and a purple zither appeared on his leg.
As his sleeves fluttered and his hands caressed it, the zither strings trembled and the murderous music of golden Spears and iron horses sounded.
This item was called the ‘zither of the violent trembled soul’. It was a special level two high-grade magical equipment. Under his control, the melody trembled along with spiritual power. When one heard it, it would cause an intense pain, as if one was being hacked by a knife or axe.
Both mingchao and xueting were affected by the attack. Their magic tools, which were ready to attack again, stopped in mid-air and started to sway.
With great effort, Xue ting pulled out a flute that seemed to be made of Jade from her waist. This was the ‘mysterious Jade flute of the breeze’. It also had the effect of mobilizing spiritual power through music.
After he played it, the pain caused by the sound of the zither weakened a lot.
But that was all.
Xueting was only at the second-stage Foundation establishment realm. She was much weaker than Zhao Pingliang, who was at the peak of the ninth-stage Foundation establishment realm. If it was just her, even five or six of them wouldn’t be enough to kill her. The quality of the flute in her hand was not as good as the zither of the other party.
In the confrontation of the music, xueting was completely at a disadvantage. She used all her strength to barely protect herself and couldn’t care about mingchao at all.
In fact, this protection was only temporary. She felt that she wouldn’t be able to hold on for another three to five breaths of time. At that time, she might not even be able to control her flying sword and would fall from the sky, waiting to be slaughtered.
Ming Chao was in a better situation. Even though Zhao Pingliang had spent most of his energy on her, she was more capable than xueting.
She even had the energy to hold the cloud-gathering Gu-turning cup and cast the cloud Mist technique, which turned into poisonous mist and enveloped Zhao Ping below.
However, Zhao Pingliang dared to fight two people at the same time, which meant he had more tricks up his sleeve.
As soon as the poisonous fog appeared, a gust of wind blew over and blew away most of the fog. The remaining fog probably had no effect on Zhao Pingliang.
Seeing that her first move had failed, Lu mingchao summoned the yin binding water rope again. She stuck it down and wrapped it around the Earth Spirit Rock turtle shield. She was trying to fight Zhao Pingliang for control of this defensive magic equipment. He didn’t really want to snatch it, but at least he wanted to make it difficult to use. Lu mingchao would only be able to hurt her opponent if the Earth Spirit Rock turtle shield was broken temporarily.
However, he could not do it.
Under Lu mingchao’s control, the broken Yin Water rope could not pull the turtle shield away no matter how much strength it used.
“It’s a waste of effort,” As he spoke, Zhao Pingliang rubbed his hands and a silver pellet appeared. As spiritual energy sprayed out, it actually spun and formed a bright silver sword light that flew toward Lu mingchao!
This was the famous killing weapon-sword ball! It was an extremely condensed sword essence!
Lu mingchao also used her defensive magic equipment. It was a level two Jade suppression plate.
After the Lu family’s energy stone mine was upgraded to three-star, they could always find some level two energy stone essence in the mine. Lu chaoling’s skills in forging magic tools were not a problem. Of course, he could also forge a level two defensive magic tool with better materials.
It was not as powerful as Lu Chaohe’s thousand-ton Jade suppression plate, but the one in Ming Chao’s hands could be considered Chao Ling’s proudest work.
The Jade suppression plate trembled violently as the sword Qi struck it. Lu mingchao’s expression changed as well. Under the music, her mind and the spiritual power in her meridians were already unstable. The Jade suppression plate was almost broken after being hit by the sword pellet. Lu mingchao even felt her meridians tremble again.
However, the sword ball had just displayed its might.
The sword pellet, which was only the size of a palm, spun in the air and slashed down again.
The Jade suppression plate trembled even more violently.
And then another sword!
Lu Qing sighed in his heart. He had wanted to let mingchao try again. Although there was a clear difference in their abilities, challenging a strong opponent was also a good form of training.
But from the looks of it, this was the limit ah?
This Zhao Pingliang was indeed not easy to deal with. He had a profound cultivation base. Lu Qing could also tell that his cultivation technique must be of the wondrous grade. He had an abundance of spiritual power and was of high quality. His magic tools were also very good, and he had excellent control over them.
A special magic weapon like the sword pill could not be used by people who were not experienced and talented in the way of the sword. The sword pellet had extremely high requirements for the user’s cultivation.
Not to mention, using the sword pellet to instantly kill the Suan ni three times was something that ordinary foundation building cultivators didn’t even dare to think about. The key was that each sword was powerful.
From the foundation establishment stage alone, Zhao Pingliang was almost at the peak. He was a person with hope for enlightenment.
Lu Qing did not plan to watch any longer. He was about to make a move.
With a thought, he was about to exchange for the two-star power enhancement and guardian spirits. At the same time, he also planned to slash down the two-star sword talisman.
However, at this moment, Ming Chao, who had withstood the zither music, the Jade suppression plate, and the sword sphere’s attacks, made his move again.
The water cloud horse let out a neigh, and a clone made of pure water spiritual force charged toward Zhao Pingliang. At the same time, it activated its innate ability, and in an instant, its speed increased to an extreme, flying over Zhao Pingliang’s head!
“You want to go around the Earth Spirit Rock turtle shield? In your dreams!”
The turtle shield blocked the attack of the water-attribute horse. At the same time, Zhao Pingliang’s sword pellet also stared at the water-cloud horse that was flying over his head and gave chase. The sword light slashed out in succession. Although the second slash missed, the third slash landed solidly on the lower abdomen of the water-cloud horse.
The Stage 2 water cloud horse was heavily injured by the sword strike, and its blood, which glowed with specks of blue light, sprayed into the air. The beautiful warhorse cried out as it flapped its wings in vain, unable to stop its body from falling.
However, Zhao Pingliang did not look happy at all. Lu mingchao, who was supposed to be on the horse, had disappeared.
Lu Qing could see it even more clearly. Ming Chao had activated the unique escape technique that the clan had collected, the teleportation technique!
