Chapter 318 - Dual Sword Requiem (1/2)

Lu Tianzi was not at all surprised by Master Dongran's decision.

In fact, he had already been expecting such a result, and this merely confirmed his earlier suspicions.

If anything, he was just slightly amused that the other party would let him in on the full details of the plan despite having made such a decision.

Was Master Dongran afraid that he would get suspicious if the plan was not revealed truthfully?

Either way, that no longer mattered.

By this time, the masked Madam Dongran had already arrived before him.

With a flick of his wrist, the Moon Culler appeared in his hand, emitting a dull grey light as its moon energy was amplified under the light of the full moon.

”Pointless struggle,” Master Dongran mocked with his arms crossed.

In his eyes, there was no need for him to do a thing.

Against the Fourth Origin Cycle Madam Dongran, how could the First Origin Cycle Lu Tianzi possibly resist?

But resist, he did.

Bang-!

The Moon Culler collided against Madam Dongran's sword, stopping it dead in its tracks. Not only that, but the Moon Culler continued unimpeded along its original trajectory, sending the shocked Madam Dongran flying back in the direction which she came.

”What?!”

Both Master Dongran and Madam Dongran exclaimed simultaneously, unable to believe what just happened.

But the shock in Master Dongran's heart only lasted for a moment before turning into malice.

”As expected of a core disciple from the Radiant Raven Sect, was that the power of the Radiant Raven Bracelets that I have heard so much about?” Master Dongran sneered while bringing out a sword of his own. ”But at this stage, even that will not be enough to save you!”

”Are you not afraid of the retaliation from the Radiant Raven Sect?” Lu Tianzi warned.

”The Radiant Raven Sect? Hahaha!” Master Dongran burst out in laughter. ”Your Radiant Raven Sect did nothing all these years, and then they had the cheek to send you, a First Cycle Origin Core realm brat, to reap the rewards of our hard work? What a joke! I would have no choice but to accept it if they sent someone stronger, but just what makes you think that even someone like you have the right to benefit from our hard work? Just because you are from a powerful influence? Well unfortunately for you, we will be roaming the lands instead of staying in this darned place after today, so even the Radiant Raven Sect will find it difficult to locate us and avenge you!”

”You are going to leave everything behind?” Lu Tianzi questioned. ”Even the Dongran Family? Isn't your father still in the Dongran Residence as well?”

”My father? You mean that useless parasite who thinks that he's still the head of the Dongran Family?” Master Dongran shook his head. ”He's already old and sickly, so he should just stay in bed and enjoy his time in retirement. Yet he still thinks he's all that and wants to intervene in every decision I make. Not just that, but he even treats my wife as his servant, reprimanding her as he wished. This kind of person doesn't deserve to live any longer! That is why when your elder came to me with this plan, I accepted it without the slightest hesitation. Come to think of it, your death is indirectly caused by your elder. If you really need to blame someone for this, you can blame him instead!”

”Leader… what are you saying to the emissary? What's going on?” Aged Crow asked in concern.

”The emissary from the Radiant Raven Sect has betrayed us!” Master Dongran shouted so that the masked townsmen gathered below the stage will be able to hear it as well. ”White Griffin is working with the town lord, and wants to stop us from fighting for our rights! Fight with me, everyone! Together we can stop him!”

A commotion immediately broke out among the masked townsmen after hearing this.

This was supposed to be a significant night for them, but what was with this sudden development?

However, their admirable leader had said so himself, so there shouldn't be any mistake.

The emissary had betrayed them!

”But leader, that doesn't seem to align with what you have been saying to the emissary…?” Aged Crow questioned hesitantly.

He was the only one on stage with Lu Tianzi and Master Dongran, so he had been able to hear their entire conversation from start till end.

”Shut up,” Master Dongran shot a cold glare towards Aged Crow.

At that moment, an immense pressure from Master Dongran forced Aged Crow to fall flat on the ground.

”L-Leader…” Aged Crow gritted his teeth in frustration.

How could he not tell what was happening by now?

However, it was already too late.

Just staying conscious was already a difficult task for him right now, so there was simply nothing he could do about it.

In front of an Origin Core realm martial artist, he was completely powerless!

”How dare you do that to Aged Crow!” Master Dongran pointed his sword towards Lu Tianzi. ”Lend me your strength, everyone! Let's beat him together!”

The crowd roared in response, and Master Dongran smirked in triumph.

With him and Madam Dongran around, he was not at all worried about Lu Tianzi. But it's always better to be safe than sorry.

As a Core Disciple of the Radiant Raven Sect, who knew what other trump cards Lu Tianzi had up his sleeves?

If the thousand over masked townsmen were able to distract Lu Tianzi as well, it would just make it that much easier to take him down!

”Let's go! Take him out in one go!”

After giving the signal, he and Madam Dongran charged at Lu Tianzi from both directions.

An illusory sword shimmered into existence behind both of them, giving off a sharp feeling of impending death.

They were indeed a couple. Even their Origin Totems were extremely similar!

Even before Master Dongran and Madam Dongran arrived before him, Lu Tianzi was already feeling an immense sense of danger, as though the two illusory swords were being pressed against his throat.

”Tch!” Lu Tianzi clicked his tongue in irritation.

The Torrential Sabre appeared in his left hand as an illusory green vortex shimmered into existence behind him.

With the appearance of the illusory green vortex, the pressure on him was at least alleviated a little.

”Die!” Master Dongran shouted as he pierced out with his sword.

From another direction, Madam Dongran's sword shot out towards Lu Tianzi as well.

Their attacks were timed to absolute perfection, reaching Lu Tianzi at the exact same moment.

But for Lu Tianzi who was armed with his dual sabre and sword, such impeccable timing did little to faze him.

Lu Tianzi drove his true origin core before slashing out with both hands, matching their swords blade for blade.
