Chapter 195 Unstoppable (1/2)
The old man was planning for Lu Tianzi to fall to his pincer trap, but little did he know that Lu Tianzi was already well aware of what's coming.
After all, Lu Tianzi's current perception was by no means inferior when compared to that of a true Origin Core realm martial artist.
Despite having to constantly evade the barrage of arrows that came from above, Lu Tianzi still managed to notice the defence team that was currently heading in his direction.
And this pincer attack was made even more obvious after Lu Tianzi escaped the boundaries of the camp. By then, he could already see a large group of soldiers heading straight for him from afar.
Now that he had delayed for this long, there was no longer any ways for him to avoid the pincer attack.
But so what if that was the case?
Lu Tianzi had not reacted to the incoming trap only because he did not see the need to do so.
A bunch of ordinary Essence Condensation realm martial artists… why would Lu Tianzi need to be afraid of them?
Break through from the front!
Lu Tianzi erupted with his top speed, no longer weaving around in evasion.
Just like that, he left the unprepared old man in the dust, pulling apart the distance between them in an instant.
”What?” the old man could not help but blurt out in shock.
To think that Lu Tianzi had been holding back all along!
Apart from his cultivation level, was there any part about him that was even remotely similar to that of an Essence Condensation realm martial artist?
In the few moments that the old man was lost in thought, Lu Tianzi's figure appeared in front of the defence team.
Sword light flashed.
After the initial shock, Lu Tianzi's target desperately tried to defend himself, but Lu Tianzi was simply too fast for him.
Slash-!
The Sword of Ivory Rock moved in a blur as it claimed its first victim, slashing open the poor soldier's throat.
And he did not stop there.
The Torrential Sabre and the Sword of Ivory Rock moved in tandem, claiming life after life as Lu Tianzi's lone figure pierced straight through the defence team, just like a hot knife through butter.
Not a single person was able to slow him down.
Even though they had already seen their fair share of deaths by now, everyone in the returning defence team could not help but feel a sense of fear building up within their hearts as they watched their comrades fall like flies.
If things go on like this, it would be their turn sooner or later!
And when the time comes, would their fates be any different from those before them?
Unlikely.
They were not nearly naïve enough to believe that they were anything special.
”What are you idiots doing?!” the old man bellowed in rage as he saw the scene of carnage unfold before him.
Why were his own Essence Condensation realm soldiers so inferior when compared to that brat from the Scarlet Moon Army?
How exasperating!
It seemed like he had no choice but to depend on himself after all!
”Back away from him!” the old man yelled out once more.
The defence team did not need to be told twice. They were more than happy to get away from this monster!
With a wave of his hand, the old man once again summoned tall white walls that rose up around them, imprisoning Lu Tianzi, as well as some of the returning defence team members who had been too slow to escape.
However, the old man had no interest in slowing down for the sake of these stragglers.
After seeing what Lu Tianzi was capable of, in the old man's heart, the value of Lu Tianzi had now risen to a level that was far higher than the entire defence team combined.
Even if he had to sacrifice the entire defence team in order to take down Lu Tianzi, he would not hesitate to do so!
Otherwise, if Lu Tianzi managed to escape, he would only become stronger in the future. Given enough time, he might even grow to become an existence that could pose substantial threat to the entire Dragon Cauldron Kingdom!
And the best way to prevent that from happening would be to get rid of him now when he was still young!
Lu Tianzi was fighting halfway when the defence team suddenly backed away from him.
The white walls appeared once again. Only that this time, after the appearance of the white walls, a huge shadow was suddenly cast upon the entire area that was enclosed within the white walls.
Lu Tianzi looked up, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
Up in the air, countless white arrows had materialised, blocking out the entire sky. Each one of these arrows was pointing downwards, aiming directly at the ground below.
If these arrows were to fall simultaneously, there would simply be nowhere to run within the white walls!
Lu Tianzi immediately looked around, only to see that he was currently too far away from the walls to escape in time.
He should be able to reach the walls before the arrows landed. But if he had to pause for a moment to blast a hole through the white walls, then he would never be able to make it.
”Die!” The old man gave a wave of his hand, and the white arrows shot downwards in unison.
”Senior! Please have mercy!” some of the stragglers from the returning defence team called out in despair.
They were none other than those who had been trapped in the white walls along with Lu Tianzi. Seeing the apocalyptic scene that was about to be unleashed upon them, they no longer cared about Lu Tianzi. All they wanted was to keep their own life!
However, just like how they no longer cared about Lu Tianzi, the old man cared not about them either.
His thoughts were now focused on getting rid of Lu Tianzi, and sacrificing a few of them in the process mattered not to him.
Boom-! Boom-!
Loud explosions sounded out as a huge cloud of white smoke rose up from within the white walls, shrouding over the entire area.
The old man let out a sinister grin as he watched from above.
