246 I Said No, Then Its No (1/2)

Starting from the loyalty gate, the next five tests, no one would be able to pass any of them.

When Wang Lu made that statement amidst the broken golden lights, many were stunned by this earth-shaking twist.

What the hell is going on!?

Even Wang Lu’s allies were stunned. Zhan Ziye, Zhou Mumu, the two team leaders of the other two sects stared dumbfoundedly at the disappearing golden lights all around them.

Hey, if you’re trying to cheat Shengjing Sect, why are you taking us down with them? However, when they saw the golden lights that wrapped on Wang Lu, Bai Shixuan and Liu Li shattered, turning them into the loser of the third gate, it became difficult to condemn him.

Only Jianglu, who seemed to act as if this has long been expected, looked indifferent but just slightly shook his head in disappointment.

He said, ”Sure enough there’s a way to break this method of yours. It’s just that, I never thought that you’d actually do it.”

Wang Lu shrugged. ”There is a very simple logic for this, why would you say like this is unthinkable? Spirit Sword Sect team has three team members, I am the other two’s Senior Brother. As such, I have the right and also the obligation. Previously, when I told them to do things, that is my right, but helping my Junior Sister obtain the ancient sword tomb inheritance is my obligation as a Senior Brother! Other than eliminating outsiders, professional adventurer can also be an excellent helper.”

Jianglu shook his head. ”Humph, no matter what reasons you have, no matter how you embellish things, your action is ultimately the action of a coward turtle.”

”Oh, then what are you doing? Provoking the turtle to extend its head?”

Jianglu said, ”I thought you would at least face it like a man.”

”Sorry, it’s precisely because I’m a man that I don’t have the interest to face someone with a rough face like you.”

Seeing that Wang Lu didn’t want to respond positively to him no matter what, Jianglu was disappointed and no longer bothered to waste his effort. ”Empty incendiary rhetoric is meaningless. Since you said you’d make sure everyone failed in the next five gate, then let’s go and see if you have the ability to fulfill your prophecy!”

Walking out of the loyalty gate, everyone’s thoughts were different.

Among them, Shengjing Sect team that walked at the front began to become somewhat impetuous and uneasy.

The total failure at the third gate was not the real problem—the issue here was that, it seemed like Wang Lu has the ability to deliver on his statement.

First of all, his summary of the eight trials was not wrong; it was far easier to fail than to pass in these tests. Perhaps it was difficult to pass them, but it was very easy to drag other people down. The second gate test was a very good example for this. However, conversely, what if someone else used it? Numerical advantage didn’t work in every gate, just like in the third gate. In such a case, if the other intentionally did bad things, it was indeed virtually impossible for Shengjing Sect to guard against it. Especially for Wang Lu who was known for his ability to mess things up!

Secondly, and most importantly, Spirit Sword Sect advantage in the number of tests that they have passed was indeed genuine. If things unfolded according to what Wang Lu said, then this advantage was indeed enough to become the key to success.

What should they do then?

Shengjing Sect cultivators invariably looked at Senior Brother Jianglu. As the leader of the team, how would he lead everyone out of this predicament? Did he really have a way to defuse Wang Lu’s obstruction in the next five tests? As the cultivators of Shengjing Sect, they have a strong confidence in their Senior Brother Power King. However, in this kind of easy to attack but hard to defend rule, facing an opponent with endless means, the situation was really...

”There’s no need to be too bothered.”

Once they stepped out of the gate, Jianglu opened his mouth to answer the question of his Junior Brothers and Sisters.

The next moment, a flash of thunder bloomed before everyone. The purple-cyan lightning exploded in front of the loyalty gate where at this time, there were Wang Lu as the lead and Liu Li and Bai Shixuan on his sides, and following closely behind them were the people of Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect. Just now, they had just stepped out of the gate when this sudden changed happened which completely caught them off guard!

This lightning was swift and violent, however, the real killer move followed right after that lightning strike. The one who launched the lightning strike was naturally Power King Jianglu. Using power to cast out lightning was not really what Wang Jianglu was good at, therefore, the lightning strike was simply an insignificant accompaniment. The real power of Jianglu was his Power King True Body, using absolute power to smash the balance of the five elements, spontaneously drawing lightning from the out of control surrounding spiritual energy.

Since the complementary force was already that powerful, how much powerful the strike from the main force of the Power King actually was?

”Tsk, sure enough, it’s really here.”

Perhaps if caught off guard, no one present could take this direct hit from Jianglu. However, even if all the people were unprepared, at least Wang Lu certainly was not.

Even before the lightning strike arrived, the Non-Phase Sword Light has already faintly lit. The last layer of seal of the Sword of Mount Kun has finally been opened at this time, breaking the last layer of shackles of the sword spirit. Impressively, an entity manifested out of it. With cold eyes, Autumn Beam held the ancient sword together with Wang Lu, extending the sword forward, breaking through the intense light from the lightning, colliding head-on with Wang Jianglu’s fist.

This time, there was no amazing shockwave and destruction as all the impact and destruction quickly vanished under the collision of sword and fist. Even the lightning that came out because of the raging spiritual energy was swallowed by the invisible force.

”What a good sword art. You are the first low-level Xudan that could block my fist.”

A long while later, Jianglu faintly opened his mouth and retracted his fist.

Wang Lu also withdrew his Sword of Mount Kun. Spirit Sword Autumn Beam lightly glanced at him before once again joining with the ancient sword.

Wang Lu then opened his mouth to praise, ”What a good Power King True Body, able to use Jindan Stage power to nearly overwhelm me, it’s indeed an ancient heritage, immortal level method; the attack power is probably more than +10.”

Jiangly sneered, ”+10? What is that? But, if one of my hands is +10, wouldn’t both of them should be equal to +20?”
