Chapter 1257: Clean Them Up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had thought the Void Chest tribesmen they had seen in Transient City were rather tall; they were about three to four meters tall, after all. However, this Void Chest tribesman who was 30 meters tall truly refreshed the views of the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
If they were to calculate the Void Chest tribesmen’s strength based on their height, a tribesman who was three or four meters tall was as strong as a Three or Four Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator. Then, how powerful was this giant that was more than 30 meters tall?
“They can’t be considered humans, right?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked.
“They’re humanoids; they’re not humans…”
The Void Chest tribesmen’s skin was like stones; they looked a little like clay figurines. Their eyes were suffused with green light, and their faces seemed to be perpetually twisted into expressions that were filled with hatred and anger.
Yu Shangrong flew slightly higher. Then, he said with a smile, “This is good. I can use them to test my new sword techniques…”
Like a clockwork, Yu Zhenghai said, “Second Junior Brother, I have learned new saber techniques as well. Shall we have a compet.i.tion?”
The others were rendered speechless by Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai’s antics. After being with the Evil Sky Pavilion for so long, most of them knew Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai liked to compete regardless of time and place.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and asked, “How do you want to compete, Eldest Senior Brother?”
“Whoever kills the most wins!” Yu Zhenghai said.
“That’s what I had in mind as well…” Yu Shangrong nodded.
Cultivators painstakingly increased their strength, skills, and cultivation not to strengthen their bodies, but to be able to use them during combat to kill enemies. It did not matter if it was sword techniques or saber techniques, those who could kill the most enemies were the most skilled.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai turned around in unison and said to Lu Zhou, “Master, please allow us to deal with them…”
Lu Zhou did not object to a little friendly compet.i.tion now and then. It was impossible to raise a fierce wolf in a sheep pen after all. The cultivation world was cruel; it would be difficult for white sheep to survive. Hence, he waved his sleeve, indicating his approval.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Lu Zhou’s two eldest disciples seemed to have turned into two streaks of light as they flew toward the Void Chest tribesmen.
Yu Zhenghai cast the Great Dark Heavenly Memorial as he rushed forward.
Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong used the Gui Yuan Sword Technique to control his Longevity Sword as he charged into the crowd like a shooting star.
In just a blink of an eye, the entire place turned into a battlefield.
Kong Wen watched as he said, “The Void Chest tribesmen have terrifyingly strong defenses. Since their fatal points are about three inches below their armpits, it’d take some effort for Mr. First and Mr. Second to kill them…”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as you know their weakness, you’ll be able to kill them…” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said with a smile.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong killed their respective targets at almost the same time. After exchanging a quick glance, they moved on to their next targets.
At this time, the 30-meter-tall Void Cheat tribesman roared thunderously, “Crush them!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Void Chest tribesmen charged forward and attacked the duo with their black cudgels. After a brief moment, they tossed their cudgels up into the air.
Following that, the cudgels arranged themselves in a formation in the sky.
“The Demon Slayer’s Cudgel Formation?!”
“These Void Chest Tribesmen actually mastered a Buddhist technique? How interesting…”
“They’re bald… They do look like monks…”
The cudgel formation in the sky blocked Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. With that, energy swords and energy sabers began to work together to attack the cudgel formation in the sky.
Now that the Void Chest tribesmen knew their fatal points had been exposed, they did all they could to protect themselves as they slowly advanced.
Soon enough, the duo was surrounded. Their Longevity Sword and the Jasper Saber were trapped by the cudgel formation.
“They’re really well-prepared.”
“Will Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother be okay?” Little Yuan’er was growing restless, wanting to rush out to help.
“Don’t worry. We’ll watch for now…”
Boom!
The tallest Void Chest tribesman suddenly leaped up and hovered at a low alt.i.tude in the air. A dazzling energy seal shot out of the hole on his chest toward Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
“Let’s go.”
The duo rose into the air.
The Jade Saber began to spin before energy sabers began to shoot out in all directions.
The duo felt their arms grow numb as they forcefully broke out of the cudgel formation.
Yu Shangrong was never one to let go of an opportunity. As soon as he rushed out, he joined his palms together.
All the energy swords in the surroundings rushed back into the Longevity Sword before it released tens of thousands of energy swords toward the gigantic Void Chest tribesman, successfully avoiding the energy seal that shot out of his chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The energy swords landed on the gigantic Void Chest tribesman’s abdomen, only leaving faint ripples, before flying back.
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman roared as he swung his hand down as though he was swatting a fly, “Die!”
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai tacitly smacked their palms against each other, borrowing the force to fly back.
Bang!
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman’s hand hit the ground, causing the ground to quake.
“Avatar!” Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai cried out in unison. Their avatars would help them unleash their greatest power under these circ.u.mstances.
The two avatars leaped into the air, reaching hundreds of feet high as they grew.
Boom!
Some of the weaker Void Chest tribesmen were instantly sent flying by the shockwave from the two avatars.
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Void Chest tribesman. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
Some of the weaker Void Chest tribesmen died immediately. There was no need to specifically target their fatal points.
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman that was 30 feet tall was dwarfed by the two avatars. He roared, “Kill them!”
He knew that as long as he could destroy the avatars, he would be able to severely injure the two humans in front of him.
Yu Shangrong smiled. “It’s too late.”
Whoos.h.!.+
Yu Shangrong’s avatar suddenly vanished before it reappeared behind the gigantic Void Chest tribesman. It brandished the golden halo like a sword as the golden leaves shot out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin exclaimed in surprise, “Second Senior Brother’s avatar is so agile?”
“It’s movements are almost as agile as that of the original body. I didn’t expect there to be such a huge benefit to severing the lotus,” Yan Zhenluo said.
Duanmu Sheng smiled and said, “Fourth Junior Brother, it’s still not too late for you to sever your golden lotus…”
“Uh…”
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman spun around and advanced. He punched out, but his fist only met the air.
Yu Shangrong had already withdrawn his avatar. However, when the gigantic Void Chest tribesman pulled his fist back, he manifested his avatar and attacked again. This went on for a few rounds.
At this time, the gigantic Void Chest tribesman was enraged. He straightened his back and allowed Yu Shangrong’s avatar to strike his body. Then, he brought his arms together and stomped heavily. With that, a strange mark suddenly appeared on his waist.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave swept out immediately.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai who were caught in the shockwave hurriedly withdrew their avatars.
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman’s expression was twisted in fury. “You killed my fellow tribesmen, I’ll bury you with them!”
At this moment, Lu Zhou transmitted his voice over. “Is this what you want?”
Lu Zhou’s voice was not loud but it reached the gigantic Void Chest tribesman’s ears. He turned over and saw the golden Pillar of Impermanence in Lu Zhou’s hand. He exclaimed in surprise, “You managed to subdue it?!”
Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the Pillar of Impermanence disappeared. Then, he said tonelessly, “It belongs to me now. You should all get lost before I change my mind. It’s best if you think things through before you act…”
“…”
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman frowned as he looked at Lu Zhou and the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion who were standing in a neat row before s.h.i.+fting his gaze to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong who were charging out again. If he was honest, he was hesitating at this moment. After all, how could someone capable of subduing the Pillar of Impermanence be weak? However, it was too late to turn back now just like how one could retrieve a released arrow.
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Since ancient times, humans have ostracized us. My tribe paid a heavy price because of the Pillar of Impermanence. How can we give it up so easily?” Then, it asked, “Did you kill Gore?”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin replied, “He asked for so you can’t blame us for his death.”
The gigantic Void Chest tribesman’s eyes burned with fury. “Hand over the Pillar of Impermanence or die!”
Lu Zhou sighed before he waved his sleeve and said, “Clean them up.”
“Understood..” The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion bowed in unison.
