Chapter 252: Even My Father Never Scolded Me Like This

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

Before meeting the manipulator behind the scene, w.a.n.g Lu has actually done countless of guessing.

There were some words that he didn’t share with Jianglu, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t think about it.

For example, in w.a.n.g Lu’s eyes, the real meaning of this eight virtues trial was very likely to be a b.l.o.o.d.y sacrificial offering. Using a bit of benefit to lure the four sects to fight each other until it became a river of blood; the casualties would be the perfect sacrificial offerings. Even if the people of the four sects were more sober and rational, not easy to get rid of, but carefully designed levels could generate negative emotion in each of the cultivators. And for many devil cultivators, the demons in the heart of the cultivators were also an excellent tonic. Similar cases were common in the thousands of years of history of the Nine Regions. And it was the great devils that were mostly able to design and profit of such things.

However, it was precisely because of this that the devil in this place was in distress. After painstakingly designing the eight gates, he could only respond with that five gates into one move after w.a.n.g Lu’s ‘furiously turning over the chessboard’ move, indicating that his control of the situation was quite limited. Otherwise, he could just directly round the cultivators of the four sects and put them in the blood furnace to refine them.

This was also one of the reasons why w.a.n.g Lu dared to explore deeper into the tomb.

However, even with limited control, the devil was still the devil, able to control the parts of the sword tomb. The devil’s ident.i.ty and magical ability were not to be treated lightly. Therefore, when approaching him, although w.a.n.g Lu seemed indifferent on the surface, the state of his mind has already reached peak vigilant. Regardless of whether the other side suddenly wielded the sword to attack him, called out the surrounding black tide, or the sea of bitterness boat suddenly turned wild, he has enough preparation.

However, he never expected the opposite party to say such words.

”Are you sick?”

In view of the unreasonable sentence that was directed at him, in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, while recalling the past old saying, w.a.n.g Lu replied, ”If handsome can be considered as sickness…”

That Sword Demon grunted coldly. ”Then your body is actually very strong.”

While silently watching the Sword Demon, w.a.n.g Lu rubbed his own chin. ”The aesthetic of the ancient people are really something.”

Sword Demon said, ”No matter when, r.e.t.a.r.ds will always have repulsive countenance.”

w.a.n.g Lu was immediately amazed. ”With my great wisdom, your designed plot was totally debunked by me, yet you criticize me for being a r.e.t.a.r.d?”

Sword Demon said, ”Schemes and tricks are nothing, you just have ingenuity in this kind of small little things. However, on the path of immortal cultivation, you’re hopelessly stupid. If that does not make you a r.e.t.a.r.d, then what? If you’re not a r.e.t.a.r.d, then how come with such a peerless qualification like the Void Spirit Root, you carry out your immortal cultivation like this!?”

When it came to this topic, w.a.n.g Lu suddenly felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The problem was that it was difficult to cultivate with the Void Spirit Root since the end of the last Age of Chaos. And for the old Devil of this ancient sword tomb, the possessor of Void Spirit Root that he knew of was the extraordinary characters like the Immortal Qin and the Great Ancestor Desheng. Thus, seeing w.a.n.g Lu, he would inevitably have such a conclusion.

Of course, there were explanations for this, like the current environment that was a huge letdown and so on. Non-Phase Sword was also marvelous… however, in the end, all of them seemed like a weak excuse. After he thought it over, w.a.n.g Lu could only say, ”I am content with this.”

”You’re content with this? If that doesn’t make you a r.e.t.a.r.d, then what?”

Sword Demon shook his head. ”I thought I could find a talented person that could help me out. Unexpectedly, you’re the one who came through. The tide of time waits for no man, causing one to sigh.”

With that, he turned his head and continued his sword moves, completely ignoring w.a.n.g Lu on the boat!

Such an abrupt change was really unexpected for w.a.n.g Lu. After standing in the sea of bitterness boat for a while, he discovered that the Sword Demon spirit actually didn’t intend to pay attention to him, which caused him to frown.

w.a.n.g Lu didn’t believe the other side was not anxious. If not, why would he bother to design that eight virtues trial? However, this stance also meant that the other side has seen through his actual situation.

Not only the Sword Demon was anxious, w.a.n.g Lu was also anxious. The situation of Zhu s.h.i.+yao was still unknown, so if things dragged out any longer, it was likely that her situation would only get worse. w.a.n.g Lu himself didn’t intend to stay here. After all, this was not his home, and the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman was not a decisive insurance; the crucial part was that the two sides were completely uncoordinated.

Therefore, if he wanted to break this stalemate, he must use a trick. After calculating it for a while, w.a.n.g Lu finally decided to make his move.

He wielded out his Sword of Mount Kun and charged towards the Sword Demon.

Sword Demon didn’t even spare a glance to w.a.n.g Lu for this action and just continued his sword dance. Only when w.a.n.g Lu was near did he thrust his sword at w.a.n.g Lu in a strange way.

Seeing this, w.a.n.g Lu continued to press forward. Since Non-Phase Sword was a good-at-defense-but-bad-at-offense method, it would be difficult for him if the Sword Demon didn’t attack him first. The two swords clashed. w.a.n.g Lu suddenly felt a strange force was transmitted from the opponent sword which gave the sword the ‘sticky’ feature. Not only did it make it difficult for him to perform the rebound shock, but it also stuck into the Sword of Mount Kun, like a venomous snake that unceasingly slithered trying to find its way into the body. However, that force was only able to enter the Sword of Mount Kun. It was difficult to penetrate into w.a.n.g Lu’s body as the two hundred and six sword bones firmly kept it off.
