210 Chi Hou Hit a Jackpot! (1/2)

”Enough chit-chat, it’s time to send you on your way.”

When Wang Lu brandished the Sword of Mount Kun, this thick and simple sword exuded the gloomy aura similar to that of the nine levels of hell, which caused the nearby A Xia to shiver.

This was the fury of the sword spirit Autumn Beam. A Xia had simultaneously plotted against cat girl Ling Yan and Liu Li using despicable means. For this, the anger of Autumn Beam, who always had a good impression on Liu Li and sympathy for the cat girl, had long reached the boiling point. At this time, Wang Lu’s cultivation base was already at Xudan, and only two seals left untie on the spiritual treasure, which caused it to be able to release an enormous amount of its power. Autumn Beam didn’t even need to take ethereal form; her anger alone had already made A Xia shiver in fear.

Theoretically, if a spiritual treasure got enough magical power support, the spirit of the spiritual treasure with sufficient enough grade could fight alone. Moreover, its strength would not be low. Therefore, when he saw the eagerness of Wang Lu’s Sword of Mount Kun, the panic in A Xia’s heart became even more severe.

Don’t tell me this guy wants to sacrifice his spiritual treasure to avoid the restraint of the Big Heart Demon Oath? If that’s the case, then as long as he blocks the other elders he could simply let the spiritual treasure Sword of Moun Kun fight with me…

If he were a genuine Tiger King, perhaps he wouldn’t be afraid of the threat from a low-rank spiritual treasure, but he was afraid!

Not to mention that this time he was seriously injured and his body could not move, even if the injury were healed, with his skill, it would be lucky if he could utilize even ten percent of Tiger King’s power. Thus, meeting the fully combative Sword of Mount Kun, he would die for sure.

Thinking to this, A Xia was terrified. His biggest card has failed, thus almost certainly his smugness has come to an end. However, losing face and being forced into difficult position, so much that he might not return alive were two very different things. Fortunately, his nature was cautious, so he definitely had prepared more card prior to this.

Now, it was time to put that ambush with the biggest side effect, which was also his biggest card out in the open.

”Wang Lu, you can’t kill me!”

”Because it will dirty my hand? No problem, I don’t mind being dirty,” Wang Lu lightly said. His imposing manner became even more powerful.

Although he knew that he was bounded by the Great Heart Demon Oath, A Xia still felt that at any time, the other side could come at him with the sword and directly kill him in the most brutal way possible that he wouldn’t even have his body left.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, ”There are my people in the Yue Family of Celestial Water Lake!”

As soon as he took out this card, unexpectedly, Wang Lu uttered a slight cry, and his momentum dissipated a little. ”Celestial Water Lake?”

Seeing that the card actually worked, A Xia suddenly felt the joy of someone who had just escaped from death. However, things haven’t really settled down. Wang Lu at any time, could disregard everything and...Therefore, A Xia dared not treat this lightly. His brain quickly organized the wording as such that they would achieve the best result.

”You came to the Cloud Region for experiential learning by assuming the identity of a cultivator from Yue Family of Celestial Water Lake… because you have a Junior Sister in the Spirit Sword Sect who came from the Yue Family of Celestial Water Lake, am I right?”

Wang Lu nodded his head. ”Correct. Taking advantage of her family status, Liu Li and I assume its status… Therefore, when you’re aware of this, you sent someone to the Celestial Water Lake? Hmm, though Yue Family do have some reputation, for two generations, except for Yue Xinyao, there are no other prominent characters. Even the head of the family just barely reached the high-level Jindan Stage. Moreover, though the cultivation base is there, they do not excel at fighting. Therefore, as a famous family, their strength was not at all strong. If your shameless Beast Master School wants to coerce Yue Family through force, they certainly couldn’t resist. So, do you want to threaten me with that?”

A Xia said, ”I do not dare to say it’s a threat, but I do hope that you must consider it clearly. Don’t make this a lose-lose situation.”

Wang Lu sneered. ”Lose-lose situation? Are you mental? How much does it matter to me even if Yue Family people are dead?”

A Xia earnestly said, ”Stop pretending. As far as I know, you’re not that kind of person. Although you gained your reputation by creating a controversy on the gambling table on the two sects competition a few years ago, but there’s no data that shows you to be a cruel and cold-blooded cultivator. On the contrary, most of the information speculated that you have a justifying psychology.”

”Hahaha, well said.” Wang Lu laughed out loud. ”Although in theory, from among Beast Master School people, you’re the sole person responsible if anything happens to the Yue Family, I will not completely turn a blind eye. After all, since I have assumed my Junior Sister’s family identity, it means that once I provoke any opponent, it will implicate her family. But, I would like to ask you, since you’ve paid such a high price to get my information from the intelligence merchant, is there any mention that I’m a fool?”

A Xia was startled, what kind of question is this?

The serious answer to this was...of course not. On the contrary, any information would focus on Wang Lu’s intelligence.

Perhaps, purely on the intelligence level alone, there was no evidence to prove that he was smarter and more calculating than those famous geniuses of Nine Regions, but at least, he was definitely not a fool. And judging from A Xia’s own experience… though A Xia often boasted himself as clever, since he met with Wang Lu, each of their confrontation resulted in A Xia’s total rout! Now that Wang Lu had asked him that, could it be...

”Early on, I have already guessed that some despicable villain would do this kind of hostage as blackmail thing, so I have made a precaution. You think that through evil plots, you will gain victory, but instead, you’re just lowering yourself in the mud,” Wang Lu said. Clearly, his body type was not as big as Tiger King, yet his look was filled with condescending and disdain. ”You really are a sad creature.”

”You! You’re trying to fool me aren’t you!?” A Xia’s mind became a hot mess, and his emotion suddenly went out of control. ”Do you think I’m an idiot? You said you’ve already guessed it from the start and made the necessary precaution? If you really have such foresight, how come you did not suspect that the cat girl Ling Yan was sent by me to infiltrate your group? You even accepted her under your command in clear conscience, yet, in the end, she ended up seriously injuring your Junior Sister!”

Hearing A Xia’s roar, Wang Lu froze his smile, and his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

Those words hit the nail right on the head. It was his own mistake in judgment that let Liu Li suffer this ordeal. Although it did not end up in the worst possible result, that was not due to Wang Lu’s credit. If it were not for Liu Li’s years of accumulated poison resistance, the situation now would be very troubling. Despite being scolded in the face by a wretched looking waste was somewhat a bit out of fashion, it was indeed an impressive lesson.
