Chapter 109: Disciple Shall Kill First to Show Respect!

“The Mo family, one of the four great clans of the Blood Moon Holy Land, and the Wu family?”

Lu Jin’s eyes shifted coldly.

The Mo family truly refused to give up. They had actually launched a night raid on the Ten Thousand Swords Sect the moment he left!

Looking at the blood-soaked surroundings and the corpses strewn across the ground, Lu Jin’s gaze turned ice-cold. He said nothing more and resumed the slaughter.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of explosions echoed as one figure after another was blasted into a bloody mist, only to be instantly swallowed by the Heaven Burial Coffin.

As the battle progressed, even Lu Jin’s expression flickered with surprise.

He discovered that the Heaven Burial Coffin was now directly devouring the corpses!

This was something that had never happened before. It seemed that after the Heaven Burial Coffin devoured that bronze cauldron, it had unlocked a new function?

Since it is a coffin, devouring a few corpses isn’t asking too much. In that case, let the feast begin!

The experts brought by the Mo and Wu families were numerous. There were even several Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses overseeing the assault. Currently locked in a fierce battle with Chu Tianxiong were two experts at the Peak 2nd Transformation of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Standing near their battle circle was another expert at the 3rd Transformation of the Purple Mansion Realm. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking as if he might jump in at any moment to finish Chu Tianxiong off.

Chu Tianxiong was in the heat of combat, but the moment he spotted Lu Jin, his expression changed drastically.

“You brat, why did you come back!”

He knew Lu Jin possessed powerful methods, but the enemy had come prepared today with an overwhelming number of experts. He had intentionally chosen not to inform Lu Jin of the crisis, yet he never expected the boy to return at this exact moment.

“Sect Master, why didn’t you send a transmission talisman for something this big?” Lu Jin asked while continuing his slaughter.

“Kid, get out of here! There’s no need for you to throw your life away!”

With such powerful enemies pressing in, aside from that 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert, there was another powerhouse in the enemy camp whose cultivation was definitely not lower than the 3rd Transformation!

Chu Tianxiong couldn’t even discern the true depth of that person’s strength.

Precisely because of this, he did not want to see Lu Jin take such a risk.

“Sect Master, they aren’t qualified to make me throw my life away.”

As Lu Jin’s voice fell, he looked up at the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert standing with his hands behind his back.

“Regardless of who you are, today, you die.”

When Lu Jin’s gaze swept over him, the man actually felt a sudden jolt of alarm in his heart.

However, he quickly laughed. “Heh, a mere ant at the 7th Layer Jindan dares to bluster in front of me?”

The man gave a contemptuous smirk. “We’ve killed so many people, and yet we haven’t seen that ‘expert’ of your Ten Thousand Swords Sect. It seems that woman left a long time ago. Kid, since you’re so eager to rush to your death, then die.”

The man casually waved his hand, and a bolt of Spiritual Qi shot forward like a sharp blade.

Boom!

As he struck, the very space trembled. The methods of a 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert were instantly put on full display.

Though the attack seemed casual, it contained a terrifying, destructive power capable of obliterating a Golden Core cultivator. The moment he moved, the disciples fighting in the surrounding area immediately retreated, fearing they would be caught in the collateral damage of such a powerful aura.

Very few disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had reached the Jindan Realm. To them, an attack from a Purple Mansion powerhouse was as lethal and unstoppable as a natural disaster.

“Lu Jin, watch out!”

Seeing this, Chu Tianxiong immediately charged over.

But the moment he moved, the two men he had been fighting converged on him from the left and right. A sharp, whistling roar erupted. Chu Tianxiong didn’t have time to think. His figure moved like a bolt of lightning, ignoring the duo’s attacks as he lunged forward, his long spear thrusting directly at the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert.

For Lu Jin’s safety, he was willing to disregard his own life.

“Sect Master, there’s no need for that…”

Lu Jin’s eyes turned cold. Spiritual Qi howled around him as he headed straight for the two attackers.

“Kid, you’re courting death!”

Both of them were at the 2nd Transformation of the Purple Mansion Realm, and they were attacking in unison. When they saw Lu Jin charging toward them, they both sneered.

However.

Before the smiles could even fade from their faces, their lives vanished.

Two booming sounds sliced through the void as their heads were instantly severed by a sharp blade.

Before they could even hit the ground, a devouring force swallowed them whole. Even their corpses vanished in the blink of an eye.

This scene left many people paralyzed with shock.

“What? This… how is this possible!”

“Senior Brother Lu just insta-killed two Purple Mansion Realm experts!”

“Unbelievable! Simply inconceivable! Just how powerful is his combat strength?”

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Chu Tianxiong’s attack also exploded.

His cultivation was at the 3rd Transformation of the Purple Mansion Realm, the same as his opponent. However, having endured the previous battles, his strength was heavily depleted. He was unable to fight on equal footing and was forced back several steps by the opponent’s counterattack before he could steady himself.

But once he regained his footing, he froze.

In the periphery of his vision during the clash, he had witnessed the shocking sight of Lu Jin decapitating two 2nd Transformation Purple Mansion experts in an instant.

The opponents he had struggled against for so long had been insta-killed by Lu Jin.

Beyond the shock, a surge of wild joy filled his heart.

“What! Bastard! How did he do that!”

The 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert was an external expert from the Blood Moon Holy Land, hired by the Mo family as a helper.

The two who had been killed were both experts from the Wu family. The loss of two such powerhouses was a massive blow, even for a great clan like theirs.

At this moment, the other fighters in the area stopped one after another. The oppressive atmosphere that had been crushing the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples was shattered. They raised their arms and cheered wildly.

“Senior Brother Lu is too strong! The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is saved!”

“Kill these bastards! Avenge our fallen brothers!”

“Kill them! Don’t let a single one leave alive!”

The battlefield, which had briefly gone silent, suddenly plunged back into a frenzy of slaughter.

Lu Jin’s appearance and his feat of insta-killing 2nd Transformation Purple Mansion experts had instantly turned the tide of the war.

The members of the Mo and Wu families were now trembling with fear.

The destruction of the Mo family ancestor had already made them quite wary. They had only dared to attack the Ten Thousand Swords Sect after learning that Lu Jin had left.

They never expected that Lu Jin would possess such means—to kill 2nd Transformation Purple Mansion experts in a single breath.

After the chaotic skirmish, the remaining experts of the two great clans retreated to a unified front, gathering beside the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions and deep dread.

“Mo Tuojiang, the head of the Mo family, has already submitted to my Ten Thousand Swords Sect. To think there are still people in your Mo family who dare to rebel and attempt to destroy us!”

Chu Tianxiong glared at the enemy camp, the killing intent in his eyes undiminished.

If Lu Jin hadn’t arrived, he likely would have been worn down to his death.

“Hmph! Mo Tuojiang was a spineless coward, so I already killed him! We are the Mo family, one of the four great clans of the Blood Moon Holy Land. How could we ever bow our heads to a tiny sect like yours!”

An old man from the Mo family camp stepped forward. As he spoke, he looked toward the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert.

“Lord Zheng! This kid has some tricks up his sleeve, but for you, killing him would be as easy as lifting a finger!”

“Lord Zheng, this Elder will double the rewards promised by the Mo family!”

“The Wu family will also double what was promised to Lord Zheng!”

Lu Jin said nothing as he looked at the enemy camp. He simply gave Chu Tianxiong a faint smile.

“Sect Master, these bastards have killed many of our disciples. Today, I will ensure none of them return alive. Your disciple shall kill first to show respect.”
