Chapter 110: The Might of the Trident!

Hearing Lu Jin’s words, Chu Tianxiong’s expression shifted.

He understood Lu Jin’s character; this kid always followed through on his word!

However, things had already reached this point.

So what if Lord Zheng came from the Blood Moon Holy Land?

So what if the Wu family was a great clan?

If they wanted to exterminate the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, then they would be the ones left without a place to be buried!

“Kill!”

Chu Tianxiong gave Lu Jin a deep, meaningful look before letting out a thunderous roar.

“Disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, hear my command! Today, you must hunt down and exterminate every last one of these scoundrels!”

Upon hearing this, the disciples grew even more impassioned, raising their arms and shouting wildly!

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The soaring morale of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect deeply intimidated the enemy camp.

The enemy had brought dozens of experts, and their overall strength was formidable. Individually, they were capable of taking on ten or even a hundred opponents; the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was simply no match for them.

But now, because of Lu Jin’s appearance, they were panicking!

Shua!

Lu Jin had already charged out. His target was none other than that 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion expert, Lord Zheng!

To capture the bandits, one must first capture their leader. Chu Tianxiong was unable to defeat him due to excessive exhaustion, so Lu Jin would take him down first!

“Kid, you’re courting death!”

Seeing that Lu Jin actually dared to take the initiative to attack him, Lord Zheng’s eyes darkened. Spiritual energy whistled in his hands, condensing into a massive palm in the blink of an eye, which he then slammed down toward Lu Jin’s head!

This palm contained boundless spiritual energy. After all, Lu Jin had just insta-killed a 2nd Transformation Purple Mansion expert; Lord Zheng could not afford to be careless!

“Break for me!”

Lu Jin let out a violent shout. A long sword made of spiritual energy rapidly condensed in his hand, and he lunged toward the giant palm like a bolt of lightning!

Shua! Shua! Shua!

No one expected that Lu Jin’s long sword would instantly pierce through that massive palm of spiritual energy. It soared into the sky and, in the heat of the moment, spun around to plunge back down from above, followed by a rapid succession of piercings!

The entire process happened within a single breath!

Before the giant palm could even land, it was already riddled with holes!

In that dazzling instant, a thunderous explosion echoed through the sky. The giant palm, which contained terrifying, destructive power, finally could not withstand the frenzied piercing of the long sword and blew apart!

Boom!

Under the explosion, the aftershocks rippled out, but a mysterious force suddenly sucked them away!

While Lu Jin was executing his offensive techniques, he did not forget to activate the devouring power of the Heaven Burial Coffin. Clashing with experts was the perfect time to devour spiritual energy; he would not waste such an opportunity.

Deng! Deng! Deng!

Under the backlash of the palm’s explosion, Lord Zheng’s figure was impacted. His eyes filled with shock as he retreated several steps before steadying himself, his heart churning with waves of disbelief!

“A mere Jindan Realm brat can actually shake this seat! Kid, you truly have some skill!”

Lord Zheng gnashed his teeth inwardly, though his gaze remained filled with disdain.

“Cut the crap. Die!”

Lu Jin gave him no chance to speak. The sword from before had vanished into nothingness along with the explosion of the palm. The spiritual energy within his body erupted and condensed once more, but this time, the silhouette of a flaming sword appeared.

The aura on this flaming long sword was far more violent than the previous one. A heart-trembling fluctuation swept across a thousand zhang, making the scalps of many Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples go numb!

The Hell-Suppressing Sinfire Sword!

Since he intended to exterminate them all, Lu Jin held nothing back and directly deployed his heavy weaponry!

“What is this fluctuation? The grade of this sword… it should surpass the Heaven Grade. It is Imperial Grade, or perhaps… Emperor Grade!”

Seeing the long sword above Lu Jin’s head, Lord Zheng’s eyes grew wide with disbelief. He clearly hadn’t expected that Lu Jin, with only the strength of the Jindan Realm, would possess such a powerful combat weapon!

One had to know that Imperial Grade weapons were extremely rare even within the Blood Moon Holy Land. As for Emperor Grade, perhaps only the high-ranking officials of the Holy Land were fortunate enough to see them!

In his own hands, he didn’t even have an Imperial Grade item!

Therefore, alongside his shock, a surge of greed rose in his heart!

“Kid, your combat power is nothing more than the result of a powerful weapon. You are no match for This Seat. Hand over all your treasures immediately, and This Seat might spare your life!”

Lu Jin gave a cold smile.

“Die!”

Boom!

With his violent shout, the Hell-Suppressing Sinfire Sword suddenly shot forward!

In this instant, the air rippled violently. The flaming sword vibrated as it moved, reaching Lord Zheng almost instantly.

Ga-bang!

Lord Zheng didn’t expect Lu Jin to give him any breathing room at all before attacking. However, he was also prepared. The moment Lu Jin’s flaming sword struck, a golden bell instantly expanded, shielding his entire body within it.

Dang!

A resonance like a great temple bell rang out instantly!

That golden bell was a defensive heavy treasure. Under full activation, the Hell-Suppressing Sinfire Sword was actually blocked outside, unable to advance an inch for a moment.

Seeing the opponent hiding within the defensive golden bell, Lu Jin was not anxious. The long sword continued its bombardment, and cracks began to appear on the golden bell.

However, to his surprise, as soon as a crack appeared, it was mended by a strange aura. Black patterns permeated the cracks, and the repair speed was incredibly fast.

Everyone watched this scene with shocked eyes, yet they did not stop fighting. Under Chu Tianxiong’s leadership, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had gone completely blood-mad. Even Yan Mo’s beautiful eyes flashed with a blood-red light; wherever she passed, the scent of blood was pungent!

But even though their battle was at a fever pitch, they were still paying attention to the fight between Lu Jin and Lord Zheng. At this moment, they were intimidated by the fluctuations produced by the constant collisions between the golden bell and the flaming sword, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

As for the rapid repair of the golden bell, Lu Jin didn’t take it to heart. After all, this Lord Zheng was an expert from the Blood Moon Holy Land with a 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion cultivation; he certainly wouldn’t be killed so easily.

However, after a series of strikes, Lu Jin changed his strategy.

The Hell-Suppressing Sinfire Sword suddenly ceased its physical attacks. Atop the blade, raging flames began to erupt, which then enveloped the golden bell.

I want to see just how long you can hide!

Lu Jin’s eyes were cold. As he spoke, the area surrounding the golden bell instantly became a sea of fire!

The Hell-Suppressing Sinfire Sword had originally been ignited by Ji Yaoyue’s Dan fire. As his cultivation continued to improve, the Dan fire within the sword became even more robust, seemingly capable of incinerating everything!

Under the incineration of such violent Dan fire, Lord Zheng, who was inside, couldn’t help but feel fear!

“Bastard! Kid, you’re dead!”

Lord Zheng let out a roar. Inside the golden bell, black patterns continued to fly out and attach themselves to the bell, seemingly trying to neutralize the burning of the flames.

Only, this approach was clearly futile.

Dan fire could refine everything, and it could also burn everything. This golden bell was also refined through fire; therefore, it could likewise be burned and destroyed.

“Ah! You bastard! You want to burn This Seat to death! I’ll poison you to death first!”

Lord Zheng seemingly couldn’t endure the roasting of the Dan fire. The erupting black Qi could no longer compensate for the golden bell’s fate of being burned and melted. Suddenly, he abandoned his defense. As his hands danced, a pair of black axes flashed with dark light and charged out from within the golden bell!

In this instant, within a radius of three thousand zhang, spiritual energy surged violently. The aura of the 3rd Transformation Purple Mansion Realm erupted completely!

Within it, a faint, poisonous aura was surging.

“He’s going berserk!”

Seeing this scene, Yan Mo’s beautiful eyes turned solemn, and she prepared to rush forward.

But in the next second, Lord Zheng’s violently charging figure was pierced through by a black shadow.

When everyone saw that black shadow clearly, they were shocked to find that it was actually a Trident emitting a terrifying aura!
