381 Something Too Embarrassing to Mention (1/2)

Whoosh!

The black sword swung down toward Wang Lu's head with a terrifying roar of wind, as if there was a mountain pressing down in front of him.

However, just as Wang Lu was surprised that this immortal dream land had unexpectedly ignored the foreplay and just went straight to the climax, he also found out that this frontal attack didn't seem to be formidable at all.

Although the sword momentum was amazing, it didn't contain any magical power. The striking speed was also slower than his reaction time, which meant that it was completely on the level of ordinary mortal.

Toward the sword strike from a mortal, Wang Lu didn't even need to use his Non-Phase Method to resist it. He just stayed put, letting the sword strike fell on his head. With a loud bang, the sword broke, not even leaving behind any sign.

The physical body of a Peak Xudan Stage Cultivator was already powerful, which was very difficult to injure by any mortal tool, let alone a Peak Xudan Stage Wang Lu?

And after this blow, Wang Lu also realized that he wasn't being ambushed, because it was impossible to ambush a Xudan Stage cultivator by a sword of mortal—at the very least, a heavy catapult or a vat of gunpowder. Now, it was the immortal dreamland who threw a bad joke at him by directly putting him in a killing field.

The so called killing field was by no means an illusion but a literal description.

The moment the sword fell on his head, Wang Lu has swept the area to pinpoint his location.

He should be in a small mountain village near the city. The scale of the village was not large, but it was quite rich. The village buildings were exquisite and beautiful, and the village road was also paved with clean slate.

However, this affluent small mountain village was now bathed in fire and blood. The village glittered with the tragic sight of dead villagers. Each with open stomach and internal organs stirred into bits and pieces. A team of heavily armed soldiers was scattered throughout the village, methodically carrying out the slaughter.

In the moment when the sword fell, Wang Lu saw two soldiers pierce a young girl to the ground with a spear and then used a dagger to cut open the chest.

And in front of him stood a figure that was apparently the captain. He wore a leather armor that was more upscale than the average soldier, and his weapon was also a close combat weapon, which was a sword. When the captain's sword struck Wang Lu's head, not only his weapon broke, the joints on his two arms also shook. And his expression also revealed a trace of pain and perseverance.

All of the soldiers in the village were just ordinary people. With Wang Lu's current strength, he could instantly sweep them away. However, out of professional caution, he hasn't done anything.

Because, what the eyes have seen might not necessarily be true. This seemed like a scene of a brutal massacre, but who knew the cause and effect of this? Perhaps behind the village's richness, there was a dark secret. For example, the villagers' privately manufactured illicit drugs, or they secretly organized a cult, or became the transit point of human trafficking...

The immortal dream land didn't give himself a buffer and just directly put him into the killing field, perhaps this was to induce him to make a wrong judgment. Wang Lu has heard similar situations during this one year of group of immortal tombs exploration.

The trial for the cultivators in the group of immortal tombs was all-around. And the setting of difficulty often varied from person to person. For example, cultivators who were good at fighting but not good at thinking would encounter a plot that was filled with complex problem, which would cause an unceasing headache. And sometimes, it was the other way around. If a cultivator was confident with their combat ability, the immortal dream land would arrange a formidable enemy, which was exactly what that cultivator wished for. Also, there were a lot of cultivators who were good at thinking being deliberately targeted by the Immortal Dream Land, by setting up some confusing scenes, so that they made the wrong judgment, thus, a clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity.

For example, in this scene, perhaps the massacring soldier was on the side of justice, but if he just rashly wiped them out, he would be on the side of the evil villagers. However, if he did nothing, perhaps he would miss the opportunity to save people. The survival of the villagers might be the key to trigger the plot, and once they were killed, the plot could not continue. Therefore, making his move was inevitable, but he had to delicately balance his position.

Fortunately, now there was a reason to make his move. By having a sword strike his head as soon as he entered the immortal dream land, it seemed like this was a welcome gift from the immortal dream land.

”Everybody stop at once.”

Wang Lu lightly said and then pumped out his own Non-Phase Sword Qi, which enveloped everything within the radius of three hundred meters. All of the soldiers that were committing the attack felt as if their body was as heavy as a mountain, and they fell down to the ground one by one.

However, Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Qi could only cover such an area. Most of the village wasn't covered by his sword qi, thus it was difficult to prevent the slaughter from the soldiers.

However, many things needed not to be done by hand. In a short amount of time, the soldiers looked at their captain's eyes, seeking for affirmation. Wang Lu guessed that the captain should have a considerable authority, so he decided to start with the captain in front of him.

”Tell them to stop, or I'll kill you.”

That captain's face changed. ”Sire is…”

Before he could continue, Wang Lu has already kicked his knee, breaking it.

”You are not qualified to ask me questions. A sword strike against me is a sin that could not be redeemed even with ten thousand deaths. Not killing you straight away is already a rare generosity from me. Don't let me lose my patience.”

That captain sneered, unexpectedly, he seemed to be dismissive about it. However, when Wang Lu glared at him with an icy cold look, casting out a mind-break spell, the captain's determination suddenly collapsed.

”Stop, everyone stop!”

As soon as the captain issued his order, the soldiers in the village stopped their action, quietly waiting for the next step while the remnant of the villagers continued to groan painfully.

Wang Lu coldly asked, ”Why do you want to kill people?”

That captain was stunned, thinking that the massacre here of course has its reason, but to say it out loud would be too inconvenient. However, because of the effect of the mind break spell, the captain had no direct ability to resist. Thus, when he wanted to come up with excuses, his other knee was kicked, while even more powerful spell further disintegrated his will, making him who was already accustomed to pain roll on the ground in pain.
