Chapter 576: Spirit Power Combo!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under dire circumstances, the Zeng Family members started to use extreme measures in an attempt to kill Lu Bu!
One Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivator’s self-destruction was powerful enough to lethally injure a half-step Thousand Year King.
Among the charging kamikaze, half were Half-step Thousand Year Kings! The rest were Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators!
It was not an understatement to say that there was a chance Lu Bu might die there if so many people were going to self-destruct!
“No wonder the Zeng Family could sit on the throne of San Chuan City for so many generations…”
“That is a skill. It is only natural for the strong to prey on the weak, so if you don’t want history to repeat itself, you have to be strong in the future.”
The charging cultivators shouted to the remaining younger cultivators as they rose into the sky near Lu Bu.
It was a thought-provoking sight for Lu Bu as he wondered if his family would do the same under such circumstances.
Everyone had various thoughts going through their minds after hearing the words.
“You’re right!”
Although Lu Bu did not use many words, he was impressed by his opponents. Even being in the midst of a battle could not prevent him from expressing his respect. However, those people still had to be killed!
Lu Bu quickly regained his focus as he knew that any careless move could cost him his life when the opponents self-destructed!
“Roar!” The armadillo let out a howl like a hurricane, spreading sound waves so strong trees were uprooted before it grew a hundred zhang big.
“Peng!”
The armadillo’s huge body cast a large shadow over everyone, increasing their fear and anxiety. Its claws were like pillars which caused quakes with every step.
“Moo!”
Han Kui did not want to appear weak in comparison, and so its eyes flashed with gold rays as though ready to tear through the sky!
“God! Quickly see! What is that!?” a person shrieked with a horrified face, pointing at the sky!
“Fake… It’s fake, right?! How is this possible?”
“Where did this meteor come from! Why wasn’t there any public warning!?”
“What are the people of city lord manor doing? A meteor this big could easily flatten our entire city!”
“Quick, run!”
Anyone within the radius of ten kilometers could sense the danger as they looked at the fast approaching meteor!
Over the years, Tianmu Planet had experienced many meteor strikes, but due to the development of advanced technology, all meteoroids were shot to dust before reaching the atmosphere. So, what exactly were they looking at, then?
At one kilometer wide, it had a flaming tail, and looked like a red fireball as it fell from the sky!
“Wait! Something is not right!”
“Indeed. The meteor doesn’t look right. Though we haven’t encountered one in recent years, I can feel it has more than meets the eye.”
A few skilled cultivators had some realizations, noticing the strangeness of the falling object.
“That is not a meteor! It is spirit power!” a half-step Thousand Year King voiced out in shock.
“Kacha!”
As though a layer of haze had cleared up, many cultivators realized the truth. Since the object was a form of spirit power and not a real meteor, it would not create as much impact as a real meteor would. Even so, they could not help but stagger backwards as the object neared.
Cultivators were humans too, so they could not help but want to escape somewhere far away when facing something that powerful.
Only twenty-odd half-step Thousand Year Kings stayed behind to fight with Lu Bu. The rest were all spectators, waiting to see the battle between Half-step Thousand Year Kings and a Thousand Year King.
Many wished to gain valuable insights from the fight. Hopefully, it might help them to break through to Thousand Year King realm!
“The heavens want my family dead!”
“Boom! Explode!”
The cultivators who’d decided to sacrifice themselves lamented at the sky as the ball of spirit power approached them. Not willing to risk their chances of exploding, some self-destructed before they could reach Lu Bu!
So spirit power can be used in this way?
Lu Bu knew that the ball was clearly formed by the combination of Han Kui and the armadillo’s spirit power.
At that point, Lu Bu’s eyes were flashing brightly as he watched the bright ball fall. Even Lu Bu was impressed by the sight, and doubted his ability to stop something like that.
The armadillo’s spirit power was strong to begin with, so with the addition of Han Kui’s spirit power, they were able to create a powerful ball of impact!
Within a matter of seconds, the deadly meteor came close to one hundred meters from the ground!
As the meteor came close to the ground, temperature started rising, burning patches of grass and creating cracks in the ground!
Everyone except Lu Bu, the armadillo, and Han Kui was forced to retreat in fear.
“Bang!”
The huge stone landed as the Zeng Family members beneath it became frozen with terror. The sound was so loud that it was though the very sky itself had fallen!
Even the sounds of self-destructing cultivators dimmed in comparison.
“Boom!”
A large mushroom cloud rose, covering tens of kilometers of land and sending ripples of vibrations through the ground!
Screams could be heard coming out of buildings far away as the buildings shook violently.
Fortunately, the armadillo and Han Kui had already taken distance into consideration to ensure that no innocent lives would be lost in the process. Thus, only objects in the buildings were damaged.
Lu Bu also had quickly retreated back to the safety zone, successfully avoiding the meteor. Still, the impact of the collision sent him flying backwards.
“This…”
Lu Bu was stunned by the power of the meteor. It could surpass even his ultimate move!
The shock wave it produced also managed to wipe out most of the Hundred Year realm cultivators!
By the time the dust settled, all of the Zeng Family members had died. All that was left were debris and rubble.
The site was burnt black from all the fighting, emitting a greenish smoke.
“Roar!”
“Moo!”
The two demonic beasts roared victoriously despite being exhausted.
Lu Bu’s face twitched as he had realized that the two demonic beast could create a combo move more powerful than his.
“You guys are in trouble… Family Head asked us to take over the Zeng Family’s businesses, but look at what you have done. There is nothing left now except rubble,” Lu Bu told the two excited Demonic Beasts with a black face.
“Moo?”
“Moo!”
The two Demonic Beasts exchanged looks, and quickly turned away in guilt as though trying to shed responsibility.
“The matter is over, let’s go.”
Lu Bu rearranged his clothes, and walked towards the crater. The crash had revealed a secret dungeon below the ground. However, everything that had once been inside the room was destroyed.
Even spatial rings had been crushed, causing the items inside to explode and disintegrate.
Lu Bu and the gang then left the manor as onlookers watched quietly, aware that their city would be undergoing major changes.
After Lu Bu and the gang had left, the onlookers entered the once grand manor in hopes of finding treasures. To their dismay, all they could find was dust and burnt soil.
Those people were not powerful cultivators, and were there because of their curiosity.
One purple-robed man floating above the Zeng Manor had a perplexed face.
“I am no match for them,” Gu San Sheng mumbled to himself after some time. He could tell how powerful the move was, and was sure that he would not survive it even as a Thousand Year King.
As the meteor would produce a strong gravitational force, all a Thousand Year King could do would be to move out of the impact area before the meteor hit!
