"Ashbringer, huh!"
Lü Luo looked at the reddish-black greatsword with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
Although this sword did not have the multi-stage transformation effect of Fenrir's Six Styles, the strength of this sword was clearly several levels higher than Fenrir's.
[Ashbringer, a weapon of the highest sequence, others unknown …]
Lü Luo: …
"That's it? What's the use of having you? "
[Without me, you would have been kneeling long ago.]
Holding the sword hilt tightly, the burning sensation of lava spread throughout his body. Lü Luo felt as if all the impurities in his body had been cleansed.
This sword was actually feeding him back?
Was it because it had absorbed his blood and strength before?
"Alright, before admiring my new weapon, let's kill that vine monster first."
There were more and more Treants in the surroundings. Every seed of Black Vine would turn a tree into a Treant.
These Treants kept gathering here, waiting for Lü Luo to appear.
As long as Lü Luo appeared, they would swarm him. Even a Level 7 powerhouse would be exhausted to death.
Black Vine's thoughts were simple.
She needed time to recover her strength. These Treants were enough to delay an expert for a long time.
If they could finish off Lü Luo, then it would be fine. If they could not finish off Lü Luo.
By that time, her strength would have mostly recovered.
She would have to do it herself.
There was no difference between the two situations. So …
"Human, I'm waiting to recover my strength.
What about you? What are you waiting for, for death? "
The current Black Vine's speech was much clearer than before.
When she had just broken the seal, she could not even speak clearly.
Now, she could at least speak a complete sentence. She had improved a lot.
Lü Luo, who was still underground, was puzzled. This Black Vine was not strong, but she had a big mouth.
She was running away like a rat just now, and now she was pretending?
Who gave her the courage?
"Give it a try, let me feel your power."
Lv Luo weighed Ashbringer in his hand. The feeling of being burned out made him excited.
When he held Ashbringer in his hand, he almost couldn't suppress the surging power.
"This is what Qiao Xing left for me!"
The red steam mixed with a large amount of red energy began to fill every corner of the tree hole.
The pressure in the space, which was not particularly large, suddenly increased.
The ground began to swell and crack.
The treants who were standing on the ground also fell down because of this rising power.
Black Rattan looked at the bulging ground and suddenly had the urge to run away.
However, her dignity as a Monarch prevented her from doing so. If a Mutant Monarch frequently ran away, she wouldn't do so.
The mutants that obeyed her would no longer exist.
Red energy broke through the ground, and the pressure brought with it an absolute heat, instantly incinerating a few treants that were close to the ground.
This red color represented absolute heat. With the addition of heat, it was an absolute threat to the Treants.
As the red energy gushed out, the temperature of the surrounding air rose.
The treants surrounding the cave took a few steps back because some of their branches had been ignited.
However, these treants had basic intelligence. When they realized that they were on fire, they immediately slapped each other.
They quickly extinguished the flames.
However, it was all in vain.
Another eruption of energy. Lü Luo held his sword and soared into the sky.
The heat brought by Ashbringer caused more treants and even the surrounding trees to catch fire.
If they were to fight in such a situation, forget about surrounding Lü Luo, they would not even be able to get close to Lü Luo before they were burned to ashes.
"Become ashes!"
Lü Luo held his sword with one hand. The heavy greatsword seemed to be nothing in his hand.
The sword images began to overlap. The steam power rose from Lü Luo's body. At this moment, he unleashed his strength and speed to the extreme.
Sword Heart Second Style – Overflowing Rain.
[Meteor Fall]!
Countless sparks flew across the sky like meteors and landed on the ground.
These sparks were hot and impactful, like a rain of fire from the end of the world.
With the attack frequency of the sword rain style and Ashbringer's destructive power, it brought about the end of the world.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every strike of the rain of swords was accompanied by a powerful explosion.
Then, there was a raging fire.
The treants did not even have the chance to resist. In an instant, they were reduced to ashes.
Black Vine looked at the sky in horror. This was not a power that a normal human should have.
"Sequence Source?"
Lü Luo frowned slightly.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. "
"You monster."
[She's scolding you.]
You don't need to remind me.
Lü Luo's sword finally stopped, but he was not going to let Black Vine go.
At this moment, he held the sword with both hands. Red light gathered on the sword.
Sword Heart Fourth Style – Soul Breaker.
A sword that could turn everything into ashes fell from the sky.
Black Vine wanted to escape, but Lü Luo's tentacles would not give her a chance.
The Devouring World Core appeared at the same time. A large number of tentacles trapped Black Vine in place.
While she was entangled with the Devouring World Core's tentacles.
Ashbringer had been cut in half from top to bottom.
Boom!
A chasm was cut open between the earth and the forest. Flames continued to invade the trees.
Black Vine, on the other hand, was cut in half. One part was devoured by the Power of Ashes.
On the other side, it had really become a barren ball of plants.
Lü Luo walked forward and picked it up. He then used the greatsword in his hand to cut it and put it into his ring.
[Heart of a Monarch – Plant]
"This thing is actually a Monarch? Does she really look like a Monarch?
Not to mention Nightmare Noah, I feel like she's about the same as the Seventh Grade mutants in the Wasteland Alliance … "
[Stop showing off. You've become stronger, not she's weak.
However, she is indeed quite weak. For a Sequence Monarch to be so weak, she must have been sealed for many years.
If she wants to recover her strength, she probably needs to absorb a lot of dark energy.
You didn't give her time to recover her dark energy. That's why she looks so weak.]
"Is that so? It sounds pretty good."
The things he had experienced on this trip were quite complicated. However, he had obtained a Monarch's Heart. It was still a gain.
The Monarch's Heart last time could allow the faithless to evolve.
He wondered what kind of effect this heart would have.
"Alright, it's about time. I can go back and sleep!
Let's go. I can talk to Wu Liji when I go back. Also, I can tell her that I've dealt with the hidden danger of the gray-robed man. "
[Mm, not a bad idea.]
…
In the center of the Wasteland Alliance, Luo Dan looked at the flame on the table in a daze.
The heat that this little thing released just now almost burned through her palm.
After inheriting Noah's mechanical power, her defense was not as simple as a human's body.
However, this piece of metal actually erupted with the power of Holy Brilliance and a destructive aura. This really surprised her.
"Fragments of Ashes!
I remember that this thing was found in my ring?
When the hell did I get my hands on something like this?
Or … did Noah deliberately leave it for me?
If it's something that he specifically left for me, then what's the meaning of this thing's existence? "
…
On the other side, in the Empire's Noble District, Coal Capital's Inspection Department.
At this time, the place was already brightly lit and entered a state of level one combat readiness.
Last night, the 33rd Princess, Her Highness Wu Liji, suffered a very serious attack.
A large number of people were killed or injured. Fortunately, Her Highness Wu Liji was strong enough to resist this group of robbers.
The Empire's Inspection Department cooperated with the Security Office to kill many unknown Transcendents and arrest a large number of criminals with broken arms and legs.
After a round of interrogation, it could be preliminarily confirmed that these people were all gray-robed men.
They were the so-called gray-robed pilgrims.
This group of cultists actually dared to attack the princess. They were really reckless.
After solving this big case, a series of investigations began in full swing.
Wu Liji had a puzzled look on her face. She originally thought that she had already fallen today, but she did not expect Zhang Zhangming to see corpses all over the ground when he came here.
Not only did he not blame her, but he also weaved a set of excuses for her in a very short time.
He also quickly arranged for people to clean up the scene.
In short, Zhang Zhangming's actions were to remove Wu Liji from this matter at the first possible moment.
To put it simply, he was helping her clean up her mess.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's meaningless. You have to remember what I said tonight.
Don't expose yourself when you speak. The identity of the princess is your best protection, but it might also be your poison. "
Zhang Zhangming reminded Wu Liji, but Wu Liji did not seem to appreciate it.
"Why are you helping me? There shouldn't be any cooperation between us, right? "
"You and Lü Luo should have reached some kind of agreement, right?
I'm helping him, not you. "
"Oh, you're helping Lü Luo? Why are you helping him? Is your relationship so good?
Is he your illegitimate son? "
"How is that possible? How can I have such a son?"
Although Zhang Zhangming said that, if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be a very good thing to have a son like Lü Luo.
"Alright, let's end today's matter here.
Remember, Your Highness, this is an opportunity for you to get rid of the gray-robed man.
Your identity as the Empress has given you this opportunity.
It's up to you whether you want to use this opportunity or not. "
"Hehe, Minister Zhang's current appearance is very different from the usual evaluation.
It seems that Lü Luo is really important to you.
But do you know that if it wasn't for Lü Luo today, this wouldn't have happened?
My companions were all killed by Lü Luo himself! "
When Wu Liji said this, she was already gnashing her teeth.
However, Zhang Zhangming did not care at all. Would he care if the gray-robed man was killed?
Of course not. He would even clap his hands and cheer.
These evil cultists should all die quickly.
"It doesn't matter who killed these people, but they are the gray-robed man, Your Highness.
It's very difficult for the gray-robed man to arouse the sympathy of the Inspection Department.
When these people die, most of our brothers will only clap their hands and cheer, saying that it was a good kill. "
"You …"
Wu Liji knew that it was impossible to gain sympathy from the Inspection Department.
"Forget it, I'm going to rest."
"Yes, have a good rest, Your Highness.
I hope that you won't do anything stupid in the future. Otherwise, even if Lü Luo didn't do anything, the Empire's Inspection Department won't let you off. "
Just as the conversation between the two of them was about to end, the Empire's sequence disc detector emitted a series of ear-piercing alarms.
"What's that sound?"
Wu Liji was a little puzzled. Such an alarm was a little sudden at this time!
"This sound is the alarm of the sequence disc. A strong sequence has appeared."
"A warning from the sequence disc? A strong sequence has appeared? At this time … "
Zhang Zhangming immediately got up, and Wu Liji followed behind him.
When the two of them came to the balcony, they saw that at the end of the city, which was the forest at the border, there were layers of flames erupting.
"That is?"
"This range! I'm afraid it'll burn over. "
Zhang Zhangming looked at the flames and immediately felt that something was wrong.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Summon all the personnel from the security office. Get the water-type ability users to gather quickly.
The northeast side is already burning. Everyone, gather at the northeast stronghold in 15 minutes and prepare to put out the fire. "
Zhang Zhangming made several similar calls in a row.
After the call, Wu Liji pulled him back.
"I'll go with you."
"Your Highness, now is not the time to mess around. We don't have time to take care of you at this time."
"Minister Zhang Zhangming, I, Wu Liji, am the thirty-third princess of the Empire's royal family. Protecting the territory of the new Empire is the responsibility of every princess.
Moreover, I am a Sixth Grade Extraordinary. In the Western District, there are probably not many people stronger than me.
Logically speaking, I should stand up and contribute at this time.
How can this be called messing around? "
Wu Liji's words were sharp and reasonable. After listening to them, Zhang Zhangming could not even find a reason to refute.
After pausing for a few seconds, he could only agree.
"Alright, I can take you there. However, Your Highness, when you get there, I hope you can abide by the rules of the Inspection Department.
After all, you are a princess. I need to be responsible for your safety. "
"I know. I will obey your orders, Sir."
People from all sides began to gather in the northeast corner of Coal City. The flames in the distance were getting brighter and brighter.
In addition to the normal flames, people could also feel the red color in the flames.
Zhang Zhangming stared at the flames with an uncertain look in his eyes.
"This level of Sequence power is really getting more and more ridiculous."
He had also suspected that this was done by Lü Luo. After all, there were not many people in the Western District who could cause such great destruction.
However, he had no way of confirming it now. Moreover, among the abilities that Lü Luo had displayed before, there did not seem to be any flame abilities.
"Forget it. Let's settle the matter here first."
The personnel quickly gathered. Under Zhang Zhangming's lead, they began to put out the fire in an orderly manner.
After approaching the flames, the members of the Inspection Department made a new discovery.
This kind of pure red flame burned more strongly than ordinary flames. Everywhere it passed, everything was turned to ashes.
The main reason for this was because of the Sequence Power mixed in the flames.
They devoured all vitality.
After the flames were extinguished, the vitality and power all flowed into Lü Luo's body.
Lü Luo, who was sitting on the outskirts of the city eating supper, also looked at the flames in the distance in a daze.
"Did I forget something?"
"You forgot to put out the fire."
"I put it out. I made an open space. When the fire burned the trees, it should be extinguished. Why is it so big?"
"This fire seems to be able to burn mud."
"Alright, then what is this energy that keeps growing? I didn't use the Devourer. "
"It's the effect of the Ash Flame!"
After a long silence, Lü Luo whispered.
"Should I go back and take a look? Don't you think this is a little too inhumane? "
"To be honest, it's true."
No one knew about the episode on Lü Luo's side. At the front line of the jungle, Zhang Zhangming was still leading a group of Extraordinaires to put out the fire.
They discovered something very strange.
These burning red flames could burn their energy.
When there was enough energy impact, these flames would naturally extinguish after burning for a period of time.
This gave them more conditions and means to put out the fire.
It wasn't to the extent that only water-type Extraordinaires could do it.
"Everyone, work harder. The fire has already decreased a lot."
"Oh!"
It was unknown if it was because of their relationship with the country or because of the empire's good education.
In times of disaster, these people who usually didn't see eye to eye with each other would always erupt with amazing cooperation.
The fire extinguishing work was done in an orderly manner.
Wu Liji also silently carried out Zhang Zhangming's mission.
Just as she had said, regardless of whether she joined the gray-robed pilgrims or not, her original intention was to hope that this country would become better.
The forest fire, especially the forest with the Sequence power, she, as the empire's princess, should indeed contribute.
However, Wu Liji was a little puzzled. She seemed to be familiar with the location of this forest.
This direction!
"Could it be an ancient tree?"
Soon, the crowd arrived at the ancient tree.
Wu Liji, who was puzzled, finally saw the place she was puzzled about.
"The ancient tree … is gone?"
Around the ancient tree were traces of an intense battle. The craters caused by the Flowing Light Nebula were still protruding on the ground.
"These craters …"
Zhang Zhangming was also surprised. The scale of this battle was at least at the level of a Seventh Grade.
Could it really be Lü Luo?
If it was Lü Luo, then what was the thing fighting him?
Such a battle …
Just as he was puzzled, he saw the shocked Wu Liji from the corner of his eye.
To be able to make the princess reveal such an expression, she should know something, right?
"Your Highness, do you have any understanding of the situation here?"
"I don't know anything."
Wu Liji turned her head away, but Zhang Zhangming did not intend to let her off so easily.
"Your Highness, this matter is no longer a matter of a certain organization.
It concerns the people of the empire and the safety of the empire.
I hope you can tell me what you know. "
Wu Liji pursed her lips.
"There used to be an ancient tree here. That tree used to be the base of Gray Robe in the west.
One of the Gray Robe Elders has always been here. "
"The Gray Robe Elder is Seventh Grade?"
"Seventh Grade!"
Zhang Zhangming nodded. If it was a battle between Seventh Grades, it was indeed possible for such a situation to occur.
If it was the Gray Robe Elder on one side, then it was very likely that it was Lü Luo on the other side.
The battle between the two of them could actually cause such a huge amount of destruction?
When he fought Lü Luo earlier, he could not even fight back.
If that was the case, both Lü Luo and the Gray Robe Elder were far stronger than him!
"Do I really have to ask for reinforcements from the empire?"
Just as Zhang Zhangming was wondering, Lü Luo himself had already arrived at the edge of the crowd.
"Wow, so many people! So tired from the journey …
I'm a little embarrassed. "
Lü Luo's sneaky appearance quickly attracted the attention of others. A member of the inspection department had already noticed him.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Er, I'm just passing by."
"Passing by? There's a big fire here, why would you pass by this place?
If you're a normal person, you should leave quickly. This place is very dangerous.
If you're an Extraordinary, you've been temporarily conscripted.
Come quickly and help us put out the fire. "
Looking at these busy figures, Lü Luo felt that the members of the inspection department were not so annoying for the first time.
"Okay, I'll help now."
Lü Luo walked forward and looked at these people putting out the fire. He felt that this was very slow.
Moreover, these red flames in front of him seemed to be …
【Give it a try?】
"I'll give it a try."
Lü Luo quietly took out his Ashbringer. When this greatsword appeared, the surrounding temperature immediately rose to another level.
The other Extraordinary looked around as if they were trying to find out what was causing the surrounding temperature to rise.
Lü Luo did not care so much. He was the one who started the fire.
Although it was the result of the battle with the Black Vine, he did have the responsibility to clean up this place.
Holding the hilt of Ashbringer, Lü Luo closed his eyes.
"All things in the world, turn to ashes. Return to the blade."
All the flames were gradually extinguished after Lv Luo said the words' return to the blade '.
This extinguishment came from the source.
The crowd who was still putting out the fire was somewhat baffled. Why did the fire, which was still very strong just now, suddenly extinguish?
However, it was a good thing that the fire was extinguished. It was better than continuing to burn.
The crowd began to cheer. When Lü Luo heard these people's cheers, he quickly put away Ashbringer.
If others knew that he was the one who did this, they might scold him.
However, seeing these people happy, Lü Luo's mood also became better.
"A nameless hero? Does that count?
I don't think so. I was the one who started this. At most, I'm just making up for my mistakes.
What kind of hero is this? Damn! "
Lü Luo smiled as he walked towards the center of the ancient tree. As he walked, he happened to bump into Zhang Zhangming and Wu Liji who were walking towards him.
"What a coincidence! The two of you. "
"It is indeed quite a coincidence." Wu Liji pursed her lips.
Zhang Zhangming did not say anything. For some reason, when he saw Lü Luo, he felt an inexplicable anger.
However, this was not the time to be angry. The fire had just been extinguished and there were still many things to do.
"Lü Luo, follow me."
"Uh, okay."
Lü Luo followed Zhang Zhangming to a place where there was no one around.
Of course, Wu Liji also followed at this time. She looked at Lü Luo with an unfriendly gaze.
This was because the previous operation of Gray Robe was ruined by Lü Luo, and it was ruined twice in a row.
Although the second operation was successful, most of Gray Robe's brothers were killed by Lü Luo.
"Hmph."
"What are you snorting for!"
Lü Luo did not indulge Wu Liji. Although the other party was a princess, it was impossible for her to shit on his head.
"You killed so many of my brothers. It looks like you don't want to cooperate?"
"If you don't want to cooperate, so be it. Do you think I'm your father and will indulge you?"
The two of them were at odds, but Zhang Zhangming was not interested in their conversation.
"Enough. Let's put aside the matter between the two of you for now. Let's talk about the fire today.
I sensed a strong Sequence Power in this fire.
Lü Luo, we've fought before. Although this Sequence Power is different from yours, it's still very similar.
But it's still very similar, you know what I mean.
Are you the one who did this? "
"It was me."
Lü Luo's calmness stunned Zhang Zhangming and Wu Liji.
"It's really you!"
However, Old Zhang's situation wasn't good. He was furious and wished he could beat Lü Luo up right now.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It seemed like he couldn't beat Lü Luo in a one-on-one fight.
For Lü Luo to be able to cause such destruction, his strength … had probably reached an unfathomable level.
Furthermore, he wanted to know what happened here.
"Tell me, why did this happen?"
Lü Luo nodded and looked at Wu Liji.
"I'll have to start from her."
"What has it got to do with me?"
"You know very well whether it has anything to do with you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Zhang Zhangming stopped Wu Liji.
"Your Highness, can you let him finish? This matter is very important."
Looking at the gloomy Zhang Zhangming, Wu Liji finally fell silent.
"Speak, speak."
"Previously, I discovered those Gray Robes in the Government Building. I didn't know that they were Gray Robes.
I just thought that they were there to assassinate Wu Liji.
Because I had just reached a cooperation agreement with Wu Liji, I wanted to take a look.
If I can help, I'll help her.
After I went over, we started fighting. You know the result.
Those Gray Robes were all noobs. I killed them all.
However, in the end, Wu Liji still stopped them and let one of the Gray Robes escape. That person was Tier 6. "
Hearing Lü Luo say this, Zhang Zhangming glared at Wu Liji.
Under Minister Zhang's pressure, the Empress could only lower her head and remain silent.
"Continue."
"I'm a reasonable person. Since I've already made a move, I naturally have to eliminate all future troubles.
Otherwise, wouldn't I feel uncomfortable if others took revenge on me? "
The corner of Zhang Zhangming's mouth twitched. Lü Luo's revenge was ridiculous.
He was clearly the one who wanted to eliminate the root of the problem, yet he insisted on pushing the blame to others.
"And then?"
"Then, I definitely had to chase after him. I left a mark on that person's body.
After chasing him here, I originally thought that this was just an ordinary cultist stronghold.
However, as we fought, a plant ball suddenly jumped out from the lake under the tree.
Not only can that thing control vines, but it can also control Treants.
It's quite powerful. I couldn't hold back, so I could only fight with all my might. Then, this place became like this. "
Wu Liji, who was at the side, had a look of disbelief.
"You're talking nonsense. How can there be a lake here? What plant ball?
I've been here for so long, but I've never seen anything like what you're talking about.
Even if you make up a story, you don't make it up like this.
If you want to slander a Gray Robed Pilgrim, you don't have to do this. "
Anxious, she was anxious!
Wu Liji looked like her favorite idol had been maliciously slandered. It was worse than killing her.
However, Lü Luo was puzzled. What was so good about this Gray Robe?
"What I said is the truth. Why are you so anxious?
Besides, I don't understand. Why are you, a princess, protecting a group of cultists like this?
What are the advantages of these guys?
Prison and union?
Sentence him to death?
Or seeing Yi Si sign?
I think they are indeed quite harsh. They are very judgmental when it comes to doing things, don't you think so? Minister Zhang. "
Lü Luo winked at Zhang Zhangming, but Zhang Zhangming ignored him. He only thought about what Lü Luo had said.
"Is what you said true?"
"More true than real gold."
"What's the strength of that plant ball?"
Lü Luo pondered for a while before slowly speaking.
"Probably … a slightly weaker Tier 8."
Wu Liji: "?"
Zhang Zhangming: "?"
[They don't believe you.]
"Why are you looking at me? I'm really not bragging. "
Lü Luo felt that he had been insulted. Was there a need to brag about killing an ordinary Tier 8?
Wasn't this something that could be done with hands?
"What is the lake you're talking about?"
"It's blue and emits light. It's a very special water quality. I even kept some for myself. I want to bring it back for research."
As Lü Luo spoke, he took out some of the Mirror Lake's water that he had collected previously.
When Wu Liji and Zhang Zhangming saw the Mirror Lake's water, their eyes narrowed at the same time.
"Mirror Lake's water!"
"Mirror Lake's water? What's it for? "
Lü Luo was a little curious. It seemed that both of them knew the function of this thing.
"This thing is used to seal Anomalies."
As the minister of the Inspection Department, Zhang Zhangming knew the function of the Mirror Lake's water too well.
Sealing Anomalies, recasting Sequences, and creating Sequence equipment were all the effects of the Mirror Lake's water.
However, the Mirror Lake's water was very precious. Even in the Empire's Inspection Department, it was quite rare.
"You just said that this water formed a lake?
How big is that lake? "
When Lü Luo heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
He seemed to have missed something important.
"This water can't be very valuable, right?"
"It's indeed very valuable. It's one of the essential materials in Transcendent Alchemy."
Lü Luo's expression suddenly became bitter.
As he opened his hands, he said with a sobbing tone,
"That lake was so big at that time. There was so much water everywhere.
I thought that thing was just ordinary fluorescent lake water. I regret it so much! "
Lü Luo lay on the ground and pounded the ground. Zhang Zhangming ignored him.
Instead, he looked at Wu Liji, who was already doubting herself, and asked,
"We need to use a lake's Mirror Lake's water to seal the monster …
Just how powerful was that plant?
Your Highness, don't you want to explain to Gray Robe? "
