In contrast to their excitement and shock, Bai Jing and the other two felt their scalps go numb as they stared at the approaching Lu Sheng.
Before they knew it, the three of them had lost their previous relaxed demeanor, especially after the bronze-armored man was smashed to death by Lu Sheng's blade. Bai Jing and Quan Huan were the strongest among them, but even they knew that they would not be able to survive that strike.
"Sect Master Lu … do you really want to wage war against Ashoka Manor? Are you representing Shangyang Family, or Crimson Whale Sect? "Bai Jing took two steps back, her expression tense as she asked in a low voice.
Lu Sheng was like a small mountain of muscles, walking forward with his sabers in hand. To him, the thick grass was no different from a swamp. It sunk slightly under his weight.
"Attitude? That's not important, "he raised his sabers, the inner Qi swirling around them like an invisible flame.
"What's important is that all of you must die now!"
"Boom!!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng vanished on the spot. His heavy and huge body burst forth with unparalleled speed in this instant.
The three of them stared at him, unable to react in time.
"Bam bam!!!"
Quan Huan and the other Emissary were struck at the same time. Their necks were broken by the two giant sabers, and they tumbled to the ground, unable to get up.
Blood splattered all over the ground, dying the entire forest a sea of red.
Lu Sheng's figure appeared directly above Bai Jing. His three-meter-tall body leapt into the air, his palms clapping towards Bai Jing's head. The shadow cast by his palms even enveloped Bai Jing entirely.
If this hit landed, Bai Jing's entire head would explode like a crushed watermelon, and she would die instantly.
Even if she could recover quickly, once her black membrane was broken and she lost all resistance, she would be burnt to ashes by Lu Sheng's inner Qi.
"Kong Yan!!" With no time to think, Bai Jing shrieked. With a twist of her body, she transformed into a white sparrow half the height of a human and dodged past Lu Sheng's palms.
"Boom!!"
The ground where she had been standing exploded into a huge crater. Countless bits of soil and grass flew in all directions, and were soon charred black by the high temperature of inner Qi.
"No! You can't kill me!! "Bai Jing screamed in fear and quickly flew up into the sky.
Before he could fly more than a few meters, Lu Sheng caught up to him and grabbed his hind leg. He smashed it against the ground.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
Lu Sheng only had half of the bird's leg left in his hand. The rest of it had been smashed into minced meat. A large pit on the ground was filled with a mixture of flesh and mud.
Lu Sheng casually tossed his leg away and walked towards the other two Emissaries who were struggling to recover on the ground.
Quan Huan and another middle-aged woman.
"Sect Master Lu! Sect Master Lu! Let's talk it out, let's talk it out!! "Quan Huan's face was already pale, but now it was as white as snow.
"Ashoka Manor has no enmity with you. There's no need and no reason for you to be so ruthless with us. If you're willing, I, Quan Huan, still have some gold, silver, jewels, treasures and rare items. I'll give them all to you, all of them …"
Before he finished speaking, Quan Huan turned into a black shadow and fled into the distance like a bolt of lightning.
"Pfft!"
Unfortunately, before he could get far, Lu Sheng caught up with him and gave him a vicious kick. He exploded on the spot. Before he could even return to his human form, he vanished completely.
In the end, the middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with despair. She stabbed herself between the brows with a knife and collapsed to the ground, turning into a pool of pus.
"A trick?" With a strange expression, Lu Sheng stepped forward and stomped on it. Inner Qi burst forth, burning the pus into black ash. The woman's screams could be heard faintly from within.
She had been pretending to be dead. Little did she expect that she would be seen through. Unable to put up any resistance, she was burned alive.
Only after finishing off the four Emissaries did Lu Sheng have the time to turn back. His body quickly returned to normal and he looked at Li Shunxi and the rest.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's continue. Where were we? "He looked at the dazed Old Master Zhang Wuya.
The gap was too great. With Lu Sheng's explosive speed, it was almost impossible to dodge at short distances. Whoever he caught would die.
The difference in strength meant that the four Emissaries could not even use many of their moves before they were smashed to death. There were simply too few people who could react as quickly as Bai Jing and use a life-saving technique at such a critical juncture where one's life was about to explode.
Lu Sheng's massive body was so nimble and terrifying with his explosive speed. This was a shock that only lasted for a split second. Given Lu Sheng's strength, it was all over.
Guan Nian looked at the half-naked Lu Sheng walking over slowly and gulped. In his heart, he cursed those old fogeys in the league's intelligence department for being useless!
According to the intelligence, this Lu Sheng was a pure martial artist. But from the looks of it, which pure martial artist could trample a Double-Vein Ashoka Manor Emissary to death like this?
But on second thought, it was a good thing that Lu Sheng's sudden burst of power had saved Ashoka Manor. Otherwise, they would have been either captured or killed this time.
"Thank you, Sect Master Lu, for your righteousness …" Guan Nian hurriedly cupped his fists.
Li Shunxi also cupped his fists in gratitude with a strange expression.
"… Brother Lu," he seemed to feel that it was no longer appropriate to address him as such. Lu Sheng's strength was too terrifying. To them, he was a lethal threat. To Lu Sheng, however, he could finish them off with a few punches and kicks.
The gap in strength was too great. Even if he wanted to befriend Lu Sheng like before, he would not be able to get over it.
"We'll do our own thing. Don't mind me." Lu Sheng waved his hand. He was just testing his strength. After the breakthrough, he was indeed stronger. His explosive power and killing power were much fiercer than before.
And this was just him using Yang Extreme Mode. Without even using his full strength, he had finished off four Ashoka Manor Emissaries. At the level of Bind, the gap in strength was too obvious. The difference of one level was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Among them, Bai Jing was almost at the level of umbrella girl whom he had fought not long ago. But before she could even unleash half of her strength, she was forced to use her secret escape art to escape. In the end, she died a pitiful death.
"Brother Lu, you're different from us. Didn't you represent Shangyang Family and have dealings with Ashoka Manor before? Why did you still treat them … "Li Shunxi voiced out the question in his heart.
Guan Nian and the rest nodded in agreement.
Unlike them, Lu Sheng was a member of Shangyang Family. His relationship with Ashoka Manor was merely a partnership. Even if his partnership with Martial League was exposed, there was no need for him to kill four Emissaries in one go. Lu Sheng could easily use his background and identity to mediate.
That was what Lu Sheng had thought at first. But when the four indistinct murderous intents focused on him, he understood. These people were not only after Li Shunxi, but also after him.
So he either did not move, or he had to kill them all. And so he struck decisively. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had yet to adapt to the speed and strength of his Yang Extreme Mode, he destroyed all of them.
The probing earlier, and the fact that Ashoka Manor had eaten his trusted aide and even dared to ask him if he minded in front of him …
This was a great humiliation!!
Sooner or later, he would drag that Officiator down and chop him into minced meat!
As for the hidden threat of Ashoka Manor's pursuit, he had already thought of a way to deal with it. They had already come knocking on his door, ready to make a move against him. If he were to cower, he would be truly stupid.
"Naturally, I have my reasons for this. Since this place has already been discovered, it's best not to linger. Let's retreat first, "Lu Sheng said casually.
"In that case, this is the original copy of the secret manual." Zhang Wuya hurried forward and handed the metal box to Lu Sheng. Then, he took out a yellowed booklet from his clothes and shoved it into his hands.
"This is the original copy that this old man has kept for many years. I'll give it to Sect Master as a token of my gratitude for your help today."
Lu Sheng nodded. He took it and held it in his hands. Then, everyone went to check on the handover of rations.
The other side of the forest was unaffected. Under the special care of the three Crimson Whale Sect Elders, the handover was completed smoothly.
Many did not even know that their bosses had already been ambushed and engaged in a fierce battle. They only heard the occasional deafening boom from afar. After a brief commotion, everything went back to normal.
"Brother Li, please keep the matter regarding these few people from Ashoka Manor a secret," Lu Sheng instructed Li Shunxi.
"Of course!" Li Shunxi replied solemnly.
Guan Nian and the rest were solemn as well. If not for the fact that a traitor had appeared in their ranks and exposed their whereabouts to Ashoka Manor, Lu Sheng would not have needed to take action at all.
The other party had acted to save them. If they were targeted and hunted down by Ashoka Manor because of this, that would be repaying kindness with enmity.
"Don't worry, Sect Master Lu. No one else present will know about this! I, Guan Nian, guarantee it with my life! "Guan Nian thumped his chest and said hatefully.
Lu Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
"Then, farewell. Let's work together again in the future."
"Farewell, Sect Master Lu!" Guan Nian and the rest cupped their fists.
Lu Sheng found a coat and put it on. Under the strange and inexplicable gazes of Li Shunxi and the rest, he led his men back to the Crimson Whale.
Li Shunxi felt that everything that had happened tonight was like a dream.
First, a traitor had appeared in the ranks, wounded his own men and escaped. Then, four Emissaries from Ashoka Manor surrounded him.
He had thought that he was dead for sure. But little did he expect that the real psychopath, Lu Sheng, would suddenly erupt and kill the four elites of Ashoka Manor in a matter of seconds.
Those were all elites of the Bind realm, and at least Double Vein. Yet, Lu Sheng finished them off in a matter of seconds, as if they were radishes or cabbages. One could not tell how powerful the Emissaries were at all.
But Li Shunxi knew that this was all an illusion. It was only because Lu Sheng was too ferocious that the Emissaries were much weaker in comparison.
In fact, he had seen a Emissary before the deal. No matter how he tried, he could not kill him. If his head was chopped off, he could simply pick it up and reattach it. If his body was smashed, he could regrow it in a few breaths' time. As long as a large part of his body was not destroyed in one go, it was useless.
Moreover, each of Ashoka Manor's Emissaries was a demon in human form, possessing unique abilities.
It was impossible to guard against. Difficult to kill.
As long as the essence of the power did not reach the level of destroying the black membrane, no matter how much damage was done to their bodies, they could recover swiftly.
And to destroy the black membrane, there was no other way but to use stronger black membrane to counteract it.
The Black Membrane wasn't just the defensive layer of poison on the surface. It was more of an invisible force that ran through every part of the body. If this force wasn't destroyed, no matter how one killed it, they would only be destroying the surface. The core would still be there.
