Chapter 295: Revenge

On the spiritual mine, because of Zhou Luo’s attack, at this time, there were still some Lu Family cultivators grieving as they gathered the bodies of those strong persons.

At that moment, Zhou Luo appeared once more.

He coldly stared at the cultivators below, recalled that his eldest son had died right here, and in his right hand, the Shuo Feng magic sword raised towering flames.

He swung the sword out, Foundation Establishment magical power pouring forth like a tide, utterly obliterating everything below.

The remaining Lu Family cultivators had no opportunity to resist; they could only watch helplessly as the flames fell and were ultimately burned to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, the entire spiritual mine held only the ordinary people who mined ore and the imprisoned Lin Family cultivators.

Zhou Luo released those Lin Family cultivators and ordered them to clean the battlefield.

He himself hurried toward Maple Leaf City.

…

Outside Maple Leaf City, Lu Family and Zhang Family cultivators were stationed.

Perhaps in preparation for a prolonged battle, they had even temporarily built a row of structures resembling tents.

Inside the largest of those structures, the Foundation Establishment strong person who had just fought with the Lin Family was talking with the Zhang Family responsible person.

"That old fellow in the Lin Family does have some strength," Lu Haotian said somberly.

He was that figure who, during the spiritual mine incident of Zhou Luo, had invaded the spiritual mine carrying a treasure.

Now he had achieved Foundation Establishment, transformed into the Lu Family head, and passed the treasure to one of his direct descendants.

Yet unexpectedly, that person ended up exchanging life for life with Zhou Chang An and dying on the spiritual mine.

Learning of this, he had burned with rage and lashed out fiercely toward Maple Leaf City, drawing the intervention of the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment ancestor.

In their earlier confrontation, although he had been slightly outmatched, he felt no frustration whatsoever.

After all, he had only just advanced to Foundation Establishment, and given enough time, he could easily crush them.

"The Lin Family is merely a spent force, nothing to fear," the Zhang Family responsible person said with a chuckle.

Lu Haotian’s gaze darkened slightly. "If not for that great array, the Lin Family would have been wiped out long ago."

"But it’s fine—the Ancestor will arrive in three days, and then Maple Leaf City will ultimately belong to my Lu Family."

As soon as the words were spoken, someone suddenly burst inside, looking flustered and saying, "It’s bad, family head—someone is approaching and has already killed our scouts."

"Who dares to be so brazen? Could it be the Wang Family?" Lu Haotian asked, his face ashen.

"It’s unclear for now," the other replied, kneeling on the floor and not daring to raise his head.

"Hmph, this family head will go see," Lu Haotian said.

Lu Haotian abruptly stood up and strode outside.

The Zhang Family responsible person quickly followed and went out.

They saw that in the distance, among the Lu Family formations, chaos reigned.

A figure was slaughtering wildly, advancing with ferocious momentum.

Lu Haotian wore a disdainful look and soared into the air.

The sudden attack on the Lu Family by others was something Lu Haotian hadn’t expected, but in his eyes, the opponents were like mayflies trying to shake a grand tree.

After all, no matter how strong they were, could they surpass him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the chaotic area, only to see a person holding a magic sword casually swing it, causing several cultivators to die under the sword light. Corpses were already scattered all over the surrounding ground.

An Immortal Sect disciple?

Looking at the opponent’s youthful appearance, Lu Haotian frowned.

Regarding the background of the Lin Family, he had already investigated it very thoroughly.

For this attack on the Lin Family, the Lu Family and the Zhang Family had reached an agreement: when confronting an Immortal Sect disciple, they could only capture them alive, not kill them.

After all, that disciple had a chance to enter the inner sect of the Immortal Sect, and his master was a Golden Core master, someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

If not for the Immortal Sect tacitly permitting their actions, the background and identity of those two figures alone were enough to intimidate both the Lu Family and the Zhang Family.

If that was indeed the Lin Family’s Immortal Sect disciple, he really couldn’t kill that person.

Although he couldn’t kill him, capturing him alive and handing him over to the Immortal Sect was still possible.

With that thought in mind, Lu Haotian sneered and locked his gaze firmly on the opponent.

He calmly released his Foundation Establishment pressure. That pressure surged in like a great flood, rolling forward and transforming into a massive mountain pressing down.

Feeling the oncoming pressure, the person on the ground didn’t retreat but instead advanced, as if he utterly looked down on it, recklessly charging into the crowd.

Lu Haotian’s face darkened.

Was this guy not afraid of death?

However, the moment that Foundation Establishment pressure descended, it was surprisingly easily neutralized by some force.

Then, that figure burst up from the ground, stepping through the air and appearing directly before him.

Lu Haotian faced him like a formidable enemy, fixing a deadly stare on his opponent.

A Foundation Establishment strong person?

Could he be reinforcements sent by the Immortal Sect?

No, the Immortal Sect had said they wouldn’t interfere.

Lu Haotian eyed the opponent’s appearance, growing more and more puzzled inside.

At that moment, Zhou Luo stood holding his sword, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Who are you?" Lu Haotian asked gravely.

"Zhou Luo," Zhou Luo replied coldly.

Hearing this familiar name, Lu Haotian’s face blanched in shock. "You succeeded in Foundation Establishment?"

Zhou Luo gave no reply. A gentle breeze swirled around him as he darted forward gracefully. In his hand, the Shuo Feng magic sword kindled a red glow, spreading a scorching aura.

Blazing Flames Burning the Sky!

With one swing of the sword, endless flames roared out, carrying terrifying power.

This Supreme Qi Refinement sword technique unleashed immensely devastating force in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lu Haotian paled and hastily summoned his magical artifact.

It was a golden hammer. Clutching the hammer, he slammed it violently toward his opponent. Spiritual energy gathered on the hammer’s body, erupting in golden light.

Though astounded that the opponent had broken through to Foundation Establishment, since they were both at the same level, he felt no fear whatsoever.

Boom—

Instantly, a golden sphere of light crashed into the flames, producing a thunderous explosion.

The powerful fluctuations struck so heavily that even the cultivators on the ground felt their hearts tremble. They had no choice but to release protective spiritual light to block it.

Otherwise, in an instant, they would have been blasted away by that force.

This was a duel between Foundation Establishment strong persons.

After the phenomenon had vanished, Zhou Luo stepped forward, wielding his magic sword to raise a dazzling Xuan Huang sword light.

The sword light flashed, and a heavy aura spread out, causing a profound sense of oppression.

Lu Haotian tightly gripped the golden hammer, feeling his body grow heavy and his spiritual energy sluggish. Forcing himself to summon strength, he struck out once more.

Bang—

The sword light collided with the massive hammer, driving Lu Haotian back dozens of steps.

He stared at the opponent in shock, detecting an overpowering force from his formidable technique.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators like themselves, lacking Immortal Sect backing, the techniques they learned were only Supreme Qi Refinement, unworthy of accessing Foundation Establishment Techniques.

Under the exchange of their two supreme techniques, Zhou Luo’s mastery of the Five Elements Sword Technique surpassed Lu Haotian’s grasp of his own.

Moreover, the quality of the Five Elements Sword Technique was clearly superior to the other’s.

Not only the technique, but even the magic sword in Zhou Luo’s hand was of slightly higher caliber than his own golden hammer.

Sensing these disparities, Lu Haotian’s bewilderment deepened.

Where did this guy acquire such fine things?

Though puzzled, he refused to back down.

He assured himself that the opponent must have only recently broken through and had no time yet for actual combat. He could overwhelm him with his battle experience.
