The scarlet-yellow fire ignited the forest. Large swathes of red maple trees were stirred up by the flames. The maple leaves seemed to be burned red, dancing in the air and heat waves of the explosion.
Along with the maple leaves were sparks.
"Thousand Contraptions Lock?! Where's the Thousand Contraptions Lock?! "Lu Sheng roared as he raised his hand. His eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent!
If one of the Evil Art Masters hadn't dropped the ball and stopped Xu Qi with the Thousand Contraptions Lock, everything would have been set up successfully. He definitely had two, no, at least three Divine Weapons!
If he handed one over, he could absorb the Mental Energy of two Divine Weapons. One of them, the Sky Burning Ruler, might even be a Divine Intellect grade!
That was a Divine Intellect grade! He had been drooling over a Divine Intellect grade Divine Weapon for a long time. Now that he had such a close opportunity, he had mysteriously missed it.
Soon, a grey-white figure slowly appeared in the forest. It was a tall and thin man wrapped in white bandages. Layers of bandages covered his body. They looked tight and thick, but in reality, they were translucent, as if they could return to the World of Pain at any time.
This person was one of the two Evil Art Masters who came to carry out the mission.
"I acted according to the plan. This has nothing to do with me," the person said coldly.
Lu Sheng suddenly turned around and stared coldly at the person.
"Just a small mistake." At this time, the other grey-white figure slowly appeared on the other side. "I ran into an old enemy on the way. Hehe … I accidentally delayed a little."
"Accidentally?! Why didn't you act according to the plan?? "Lu Sheng's gaze shifted to the person, and he said sternly.
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" The person laughed coldly. "Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers in front of my brother? We're here to complete the retrieval mission. We're just doing our own things. Don't interfere with us, and we won't interfere with you! "His tone became stern.
Lu Sheng's expression turned cold.
"You really think you're a …" the grey-white figure mocked.
"Puff!"
Lu Sheng pounced forward like lightning. His golden palm went straight through the grey-white figure's chest.
“！！！！”
"You!?"
The two grey-white figures were shocked.
Lu Sheng and his companion retreated quickly. The grayish-white bandaged man was shocked and even dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Lu Sheng would dare to attack him.
Streams of Yang Essence flowed out of Lu Sheng's glowing palms like streams of golden water, crazily eroding the temporary body of the Evil Art Master.
Although the Yang Essence was disguised as a golden color, its essence was still the Yin Flame that had undergone a qualitative transformation. Lu Sheng named this Goblet of Fire as Death Flame, which was extremely destructive to the soul.
It could be said that this was something that had never appeared in this world before. It was a strange flame that Lu Sheng had forcefully developed while controlling Deepblue.
"You!!? Let him go!! "The other person was shocked and angry. He stretched out his hand and formed a gray palm that grabbed at Lu Sheng.
However, Lu Sheng turned around and hit the gray palm with his palm.
Bang!!
The gray mist scattered in all directions, and even the Evil Art Master who attacked staggered back. He could only watch from afar as Lu Sheng and his companion charged into the depths of the maple forest like crazy wild elephants.
Boom!!
Lu Sheng's hand pierced through the Evil Art Master's chest and slammed him against the stone wall. His other hand grabbed the Evil Art Master's hair and slammed him against the stone wall.
Bam!!!
The stone wall caved in, forming a hole of unknown depth.
With a crisp crack, the entire mountain wall that was more than ten meters wide completely fell off the mountain. Giant rocks fell towards the two, following the force of gravity, but were immediately deflected by an invisible force field.
Large pieces of rock rained down. Lu Sheng grabbed the Evil Art Master's hair. The other's head was almost deflated. Blood flowed out of his eyes and nostrils.
The Evil Art Master could clearly feel that Lu Sheng really wanted to kill him. That kind of naked, undisguised killing intent was like the tip of a knife hovering at the tip of his nose.
"Let … Let me go …" He was afraid … He was an Evil Art Master, born and raised here. His strength was incomparably great, and he had painstakingly cultivated to become an Evil Art Master. He was still young, and did not want to die here for no reason.
"There won't be a next time." Lu Sheng grabbed his head and slammed it down again.
"Boom!"
Golden light flashed on the ground, and a circular crater more than ten meters wide was blasted open. The walls of the crater were red, as if they could melt into lava at any moment.
Letting go of the Evil Art Master's head, Lu Sheng straightened his body and jumped out of the crater, just in time to see the Evil Art Master on the other side.
He glanced over, and the person visibly shrunk.
Although they were both Divine Lords, Evil Art Masters were much weaker than Great Yin's Divine Lords. They did not have powerful defense and recovery abilities, and only had a Divine Lord-level spirit. No matter how strong their spirit was, it could not directly attack the spirit, and could only rely on their physical bodies.
With their weak bodies, even if they used their full power, they would only be stronger than a Divine Weapon Master. They could not even defeat an ordinary Divine Lord.
This was also why they needed three people to deal with Xu Qi.
It was not only because of the Tian 'er Blade's high speed movement, but also because Evil Art Masters were naturally weaker than ordinary Divine Lords despite being Divine Lords.
With a cold snort, Lu Sheng turned and dashed away. He did not kill them because he did not want to fall out with Shizi Xing. Otherwise, he would have crushed two ordinary Evil Art Masters who dared to put on airs in front of him. Normally, he would have crushed them with a single slap.
Before long, Lu Sheng intercepted a group of people in white who were flying away from the maple forest.
"Stop!" Yuanguang Yuan stopped abruptly and raised her hand to stop her companion who was rushing to her side.
The flames reached the sky, and the bright red light illuminated all six of them. Even their white clothes seemed to be painted with a layer of dye.
The six of them were all disciples of the great families of the Yin Capital. None of them had expected to run into something like this when they were assigned a mission.
However, out of the good upbringing of a great family, Yuanguang Yuan, as the leader, slowly stepped forward and faced Lu Sheng.
"I am Yuanguang Yuan, a disciple of the Yuanguang Family's main family in the Yin Capital. I am here to search for my family members who have lost their homes. This lord also has Burning Blood in him … "
She was interrupted by Lu Sheng before she could finish.
"The Yuanguang Family … suffered great losses this time?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
Yuanguang Yuan's expression changed slightly. "Yes, the current head of the family ordered that at least one Burning Child be brought back from the outside world … The more people they bring back, the higher the evaluation."
"What's in it?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"Those who return will receive the same treatment as the disciples of the main family. They will be provided with all cultivation resources from Bind level to Earth level for free. Also, they will be given a Divine Weapon shard every six months, as well as a set of special herbs that can strengthen the body. And … "
"That's it?" Lu Sheng interrupted her again.
These conditions were good and generous for the disciples at the bottom level, but not so much for those above Earth level.
"Uh … those above Earth level … can receive a free Golden Leaf Divine Weapon … the rest … I'm not sure … but the reason for summoning all the family members back is to choose a successor for the Holy Sword of Dusk!" No matter how mature Yuanguang Yuan was, she was still a young member of the family. She hadn't even reached Earth level, so naturally she wasn't clear about the higher level recruitment rules.
Usually, the higher-level recruitment would be done by the elites of the Yuanguang Family themselves. She didn't expect to run into Lu Sheng, who was out investigating a case.
Lu Sheng didn't have any prejudice against the Yuanguang Family, but he had heard of one of the Yuanguang Family's Divine Weapons, the Holy Sword of Dusk.
This divine weapon could be considered one of the most ancient members of the Divine Weapons and Devil Blades. Its strength was so terrifying that it was simply indescribable. It could forcefully raise someone it recognized to the level of a Holy Lord, and moreover, a peak Holy Lord at that. Such a divine weapon … wasn't something he could provoke right now.
He didn't plan on interacting with the Yuanguang Family, but they just happened to run into him and found out that he tried to kill Jing Hong.
How to deal with this would have to be carefully considered.
"You're all from the Yuanguang Family?" Lu Sheng scanned the six people in front of him.
"Only three. I'm one of them." Yuanguang Yuan pointed at herself, her little sister Yuanguang Qin, and the last one, Yuanguang Sun. "The rest are brothers from the same sect in the Yin Capital. Some of them are from the Mu Family, and some are from the Jing Family … "
"Alright, you can go." Lu Sheng thought about it and dispersed the Yang Essence in his hand. The implications were too big. It would be fine if there weren't many people, but all three families were here. If something happened to all of them, it would be really troublesome.
He wasn't afraid of trouble, but he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason. Killing Jing Hong would at most offend a portion of the Jing Family, but if he killed him now, he would offend the entire three families.
Yuanguang Yuan hesitated, clenched her teeth, and asked, "Then … Senior, are you willing to return to the main family?"
Although she came from a good family background, she still had two older sisters and one older brother above her. If she wanted to raise her status, she had to make some achievements outside and enter the eyes of the elders.
If she could recruit a Weapon Master level clansman from this place, then her status and identity in the clan would be greatly improved.
The person in front of her was definitely a Weapon Master, and a top-notch one at that. Even in the three families, this kind of expert would hold important positions, and be extremely powerful.
If she succeeded, as the recruiter, she would naturally have a good relationship with him.
"No need. I don't have any sense of belonging to the Yuanguang Family, so it's not important whether I return or not, "Lu Sheng said lightly.
His thoughts flashed, and he finally said in a low voice, "But, the Yin Capital … I will go see it sooner or later. Who is your direct elder? Is there a Weapon Master? " He quite admired this girl in front of him, who looked soft on the outside but was tough on the inside. She could speak so confidently in front of him, and even dared to speak again after he rejected the invitation. Her temperament and willpower were very strong.
Looking at the other five, even the eldest so-called Senior Brother Yuan looked nervous. Sweat appeared on his forehead, and his skin and muscles were tense. His breathing was unstable, and he couldn't even speak normally.
The others were also so nervous that their minds went blank. It wasn't just because of them, but also because of Lu Sheng's current strength. After retrieving the Yin Devils of the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, he naturally emanated a spiritual pressure that suppressed low-level beings.
A Divine Lord normally wouldn't have this pressure, but with a Yin Devil that could affect one's mind, things were different.
