"It's me. As you wish, I'm here." Lu Qingshan also narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the grey-robed cultivator in front of him.
"Zhishou Tower cultivator?" he asked.
The grey-robed cultivator nodded, not hiding his identity. "Xing Province's Zhishou Tower Warden, Luo Sen."
After receiving a definite answer, Lu Qingshan's face was still as calm as a lake, but the anger in his heart could not be expressed to outsiders.
He could accept that someone coveted his Dao Artifact.
That was human nature.
But he absolutely could not accept that Zhishou Tower, which was supposed to represent the so-called justice of the Hades, had done the same thing as the Hades.
From their standpoint, Zhishou Tower was even more evil than the Hades.
"Dantai Qingrun is in your hands?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Luo Sen's eyes reddened. With a wave of his hand, a ray of spiritual light flew towards Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan furrowed his brows and reached out to pluck the spiritual light into his hand.
A token lay quietly in his palm.
Dantai Qingrun's token.
"What do you want?" Lu Qingshan's voice grew colder, as if he did not take being surrounded seriously.
Luo Sen's eyes revealed a touch of faint admiration. "As expected of the strongest of the Five Realms. At least your courage is worthy of this praise."
After a slight pause, Luo Sen raised his eyelids and looked straight at Lu Qingshan. "You should be glad that you came alone and did not inform anyone else. Otherwise, you would have lost this confidante today."
Compared to the countless twists and turns the cultivators of the Hades used to deal with Lu Qingshan, Luo Sen, as the Zhishou Tower Warden's Zhishou Tower Warden's methods to deal with Lu Qingshan were extremely "low-level".
— Capture Dantai Qingrun, then give him a specific location and invite him into the trap.
There was no disguise, nor was there much pretense.
But it was a very practical move.
This was because of the difference in status and strength.
Hades was hated by everyone in the Human Realm, so he couldn't show his face in public. He had a lot of scruples, so he could only do things secretly.
Although Zhishou Tower wasn't the most powerful force in the Human Realm, it wasn't far from it.
Therefore, the people involved did not need to beat around the bush.
The reason they placed the urn on Blade Island was to show Lu Qingshan that they were from Zhishou Tower.
Now that he knew their identities, Lu Qingshan had to consider whether he would be discovered if he secretly reported this matter to the seniors of the sect given the strength of Zhishou Tower.
Once this layer of fear existed, as long as Lu Qingshan truly cared about Tantai Qingrun's life, he would definitely do as they said.
That was the truth.
Lu Qingshan would never risk Dantai Qingrun's life.
This was the Cultivation World. The stronger you were, the easier it was to plan.
"Xing Province, Qingluo Sect." Luo Sen finally became serious and said an address.
Lu Qingshan's pupils contracted.
"Your confidante is in Xing Province's Qingluo Sect. If you have a way to leave here today, just go to Qingluo Sect to find her." Luo Sen nodded and confirmed again.
They had no grudge against Lu Qingshan. They just wanted to kill him and steal his Dao Artifact. Since they had already "invited" Lu Qingshan here, there was no need to make things difficult for Dantai Qingrun.
"But …" He smiled viciously. "You have to leave here first."
"Kill!" Luo Sen suddenly ordered.
The combined attack of more than 200 Soul Formation cultivators was enough to suffocate anyone.
The first to attack were the spirit cultivators.
They were in sync.
Dozens of spirit cultivators activated their Dharma Artifacts at the same time and gathered their Primordial Spirits to attack.
All sorts of translucent light shadows shot towards Lu Qingshan at this moment.
They used the Primordial Spirit attack to control and intimidate Lu Qingshan. The other cultivators followed closely behind and attacked Lu Qingshan directly.
It was a very simple and clear cooperation.
These Soul Formation cultivators from Zhishou Tower were not too far away from Lu Qingshan. Their sudden attack, especially the Primordial Spirit attack that was difficult to defend against, would definitely catch him off guard.
Puff! Puff!
After a moment.
More than 30 Primordial Spirit attacks had already reached Lu Qingshan's body in an instant. They directly blasted into his sea of consciousness and rushed toward the Primordial Spirit above his sea of consciousness.
Lu Qingshan did not panic at all.
Sizzle!
In the next moment, the mighty Primordial Spirit attacks crashed into an area covered by golden light.
Abbot Tianxin.
Abbot Tianxin's 100-foot domain was like a Buddhist land, a pure land that protected Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit.
The surging Primordial Spirit attacks could not move an inch in Abbot Tianxin's domain. Like frying oil in a hot pan, they made sizzling sounds and turned into wisps of smoke that dissipated.
The silly green snake that was coiled around Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit snorted in disdain when it saw this scene.
The 100-foot domain. These attacks did not even cross 30 feet.
Luo Sen glanced at Lu Qingshan and was shocked to see that his expression did not change.
In his opinion, even if Lu Qingshan was as strong as a Soul Formation cultivator, his Primordial Spirit could not be that much stronger than a Soul Formation cultivator's.
After all, the Primordial Spirit realm was an insurmountable threshold in the Void Refinement realm.
Therefore, if he faced too many Primordial Spirit attacks at the same time, Lu Qingshan would definitely be finished.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan did not even have the slightest change in expression.
Their first wave of Primordial Spirit attacks was like a stone sinking into the sea.
…
Actually, after knowing the location of Dantai Qingrun, Lu Qingshan could have used the strong defensive power of the blood-stained warship to forcefully leave this place.
But he did not do so.
Firstly, if he forcefully left, the Zhishou Building cultivators here would most likely fly into a rage and move Dantai Qingrun again before he reached the Qingluo Gate.
After all, no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the speed of the spiritual message.
Secondly, his killing intent had accumulated to an extreme. It was unprecedentedly strong and he had no choice but to unleash it.
From the moment he saw the disaster of Great Peace City, he had already developed a killing intent.
He had been suppressing it all this time. Now that he discovered that the interior of Zhishou Building was also rotting, his killing intent finally reached a monstrous level.
Today, if he did not kill this group of hypocrites who wore the skin of "Zhishou Building cultivators" and acted like "Hades cultivators", his heart would not be at ease!
Lu Qingshan's killing intent reached the heavens.
"It's my turn," he said softly.
"Didn't you want a dao tool? Then today, I'll show you the power of a dao tool. "
Facing such a large group of enemies, even powerful cultivators among Soul Formation Stage cultivators would find it difficult to wipe them all out, let alone a Void Refinement Stage cultivator like him.
Thus, Lu Qingshan directly used his most powerful explosive mystic technique.
Commonly known as the opening move.
"Quick as a dart."
Lu Qingshan silently chanted the words of the Three Lives Jie Mo Assembly. "Dragon Sparrow, combine!"
Then, a beam of red light shot out from his body and floated in the air in front of Lu Qingshan.
Dragon Sparrow.
Its entire body was blazing red and there were noble faint golden dragon and phoenix patterns on the surface of the sword that were glowing.
In the next instant, faint golden light and blazing red flames surged out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword like a hurricane.
All of a sudden, the surrounding area was filled with a destructive power.
The powerful shockwaves caused all of the Soul Formation Stage cultivators who had surrounded Lu Qingshan to stumble back several dozen feet before they could stabilize themselves.
"What kind of mystic technique is this?" Luo Sen's eyes widened in shock. He was about to be struck dumb.
Just the shockwaves from the mystic technique were already this powerful. Just how powerful was the mystic technique itself?
It was unimaginable!
The phenomenon continued.
Two figures, one as agile as a dragon and the other as lively as a phoenix, swam out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword and circled around it.
Meanwhile, a soul figure was slowly emerging behind Lu Qingshan.
The two phantoms of the dragon and phoenix swiftly swam towards the soul shadow.
Amidst the flames that filled the sky, the Soul Shadow gradually solidified.
It wasn't some ferocious beast. Instead, it was the soul figure of a lithe and graceful woman.
She wore an ancient dress that was as light and elegant as a palace dress. The dress was as hot as raging flames, and it fluttered without any wind, creating ripples of varying depths. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she was softly chanting something in an ancient language.
Qin Yitian.
Her long, fiery hair flowed down her back. Her beautiful face was filled with unprecedented majesty. Tongues of fire wrapped around her slender waist like a belt.
The figures of a dragon and a phoenix circled behind her.
At this moment, Qin Yitian was like a celestial maiden born from fire. She was untainted by a speck of dust and had an irresistible charm.
The soul figure had appeared behind Lu Qingshan, so Lu Qingshan didn't see it.
However, the cultivators from Zhishou Tower who had surrounded Lu Qingshan saw everything clearly.
Born in the raging flames, her unique aura, and her graceful figure as beautiful as a celestial maiden, were a great visual and spiritual shock to them.
The next moment.
Qin Yitian's soul figure, who was behind Lu Qingshan, took a step forward. Like a woman hugging her lover from behind, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Qingshan.
Then, her figure became one with Lu Qingshan.
"Sir, I'm here." Qin Yitian's soft, cold voice sounded in Lu Qingshan's ears.
Then, a terrifying aura burst out of Lu Qingshan's body.
The aura was so strong that Luo Sen couldn't help but take a few steps back.
It was as if there was an endless amount of power gushing out of Lu Qingshan's body.
Lu Qingshan slowly raised his hands.
At this moment, his palm became sparkling and translucent like jade, and lines of flame vines spread out from his palm. Finally, a faint golden phantom of a dragon and a phoenix appeared at the top of the flame vines.
"Army Formula … Is this the power of the Dragon Sparrow?" Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
"Awaken your weapon and release part of its power to strengthen yourself. You'll gain infinite combat power and unparalleled offense.
"Depending on the attributes and quality of the awakened weapon and the level of the secret art, you'll gain different levels of combat power."
This was the number one offensive secret art of the Soldier Demons, the Army Formula.
This was the first time Lu Qingshan used this secret art after mastering the Army Formula.
Moreover, the weapon he released was the Dragon Sparrow, which was a Taoist Artifact.
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes and felt his current combat power.
His combat power had doubled.
Back when Qing Ge released Black Blood, his combat power had doubled.
At the same level, Lu Qingshan's combat power had doubled when he released the Army Formula using a Taoist Artifact.
After all, this was a comprehensive transformation.
What kind of terrifying increase was this?
"One minute," Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
The increase in combat power granted by the Army Formula could only last for one minute.
"That's enough!" he said.
One minute was more than enough to kill all these Soul Formation cultivators!
.....
At the center of Blade Island.
The three Body Integration cultivators all wore grim expressions on their faces.
"What secret art is this?"
They had never seen a secret art that could increase one's aura to such a terrifying level.
.....
Lu Qingshan opened his eyes and looked indifferently at the vigilant Zhishou Tower cultivators around him.
A blue sword that looked like an ice crystal appeared in his hand.
The River of Forgetfulness.
Lu Qingshan held the River of Forgetfulness and took a deep breath. In a flash, he leaped off the blood-stained warship. Instead of retreating, he dove toward the front of Blade Island.
His speed was extremely fast, and coupled with the fact that he was already very close to the cultivators of Zhishou Tower in front of him in no time.
Then, he swung his sword at the air.
Sword Qi surged and condensed into a line. It shot out from the River of Forgetfulness and formed a sword storm.
The Sword Qi surged in the air like waves. Its trajectory was illusory and unpredictable.
The Soul Formation cultivators of Zhishou Tower sensed the might of the Sword Qi and prepared for battle.
One of the Soul Formation cultivators made a hand seal and was about to cast a spell.
But his movements stopped abruptly in the next moment.
Because his head had flown into the air.
Blood splattered in the air.
The eyes on the head that flew into the air were wide open, and there was still a trace of disbelief and incomprehension in his eyes.
Lu Qingshan's sword was clearly some distance away from him. No matter how fast or fierce it was, it should not have been able to hurt him.
How could he kill someone from a distance?
The same scene was being replicated all around.
With just a single sword strike, dozens of heads flew into the air.
Secret Art, Spring Breeze Return.
"When your sword is less than a hundred feet away from your enemy, you can slash them from a distance and hit them with one strike."
A strike that could not be dodged within a hundred feet would definitely hit.
The other cultivators were dumbfounded by this scene. They were completely stunned.
This was a massacre.
A Void Refinement realm sword cultivator killed a dozen Soul Formation cultivators with one strike in a breath.
"It's easy to kill like this." Lu Qingshan smiled faintly.
He was not a Soul Formation cultivator, but with the help of the Army Character Formula, he was now qualified to be the most powerful cultivator below the Combination Stage.
After all, the Army Character Formula was known as the number one offensive secret art of the Demons. It was extremely powerful and Lu Qingshan used a Dao Artifact to cast this secret art!
The lethality that could crush Soul Formation cultivators combined with the Spring Breeze Return that was sure to hit.
In Lu Qingshan's eyes, these Soul Formation cultivators were just fishes waiting to be slaughtered.
"Attack together. No matter how strong he is, he's only a sword cultivator. Defense is his weakness!" Luo Sen roared in anger and fear.
Immediately, the remaining cultivators of Zhishou Tower came to their senses and attacked together.
Khaki, light green, golden … all kinds of spells surged toward Lu Qingshan.
Golden wheels, fire fans, thunder pearls … all kinds of Dharma artifacts exploded with great power and blasted toward Lu Qingshan.
Luo Sen's heart skipped a beat. He controlled two Yin ghosts that were comparable to Combination cultivators that were condensed by the power of the array formation. They flew forward and tore at Lu Qingshan.
The mist behind the Yin ghosts condensed into a mist dragon.
In the face of such a great momentum, Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed coldly.
Mighty sword qi threads swam out of the acupoints all over his body like dragons.
However, unlike the formless and colorless Sword Qi threads of the past, his Sword Qi threads this time were fiery red, and the power contained within them could not be mentioned in the same breath as before.
