"You should... have comprehended the origin of Qi species by now, right?"
Lu Ren was quite surprised this time.
"It seems the cultivation within your Buddhist and Taoist sects fundamentally differs from the outwardly visible Qi and Blood Martial Path." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel•fire.net
Jie Kong said with a smile, "You think those talisman masters outside are just the wandering disciples who couldn’t make it."
Lu Ren was thoughtful, "Then what does this so-called human sacrifice mean?"
Upon hearing Lu Ren’s inquiry about this matter, Jie Kong’s eyes suddenly brightened, two rays of light burst forth from his eyes. He abruptly stood up, swung his robe, slightly extended his arms, revealing an indescribable emotion of excitement.
"The Underworld has transformed into the underworld, and our Human Race has no hope left within it. Perhaps in a thousand years, the Yang Membrane will be entirely eroded by the Underworld, and the entire Human Race will vanish, turning into smoke."
He stared intensely at Lu Ren, a hint of ferocity in his expression, "You outsider, how could you understand the hardships within? If Doye Jala cannot be welcomed, if Human King’s Tomb cannot be found, what should we do?"
Lu Ren showed a hint of sigh, "Why don’t you choose another city? Changle City, three hundred kilometers away, is also nice. As long as you don’t affect me, even if you overturn the sky, what does it have to do with me?"
Jie Kong’s expression repeatedly returned to calmness, reaching out his hand, "Give me the key and map, and we can let bygones be bygones."
"What’s the benefit?"
"Spare your life, isn’t that a benefit?"
Jie Kong coldly said, "You’ve come all this way, saving me a lot of trouble. Hand it over."
Lu Ren was truly amused with anger.
He stepped forward, standing quietly in front of Jie Kong with his tall and mighty figure, staring at him.
"You want it? I can give it to you. But can you take it?"
Lu Ren suddenly stretched out his hand, but to his surprise, upon entering within three feet of Jie Kong, he encountered an iron wall of air, causing his fingers to spark in the air.
If a normal Martial Artist encountered this, their fingers would break.
To Jie Kong’s surprise, Lu Ren simply withdrew his hand slowly, his expression utterly calm.
This made Jie Kong’s somewhat crazed expression relax, and he looked at Lu Ren with surprise, "Why are you unharmed? My body protection technique has strong counteracting force."
Lu Ren did not respond with any words. He was silent for a moment, Bright Sun True Qi gathering on his fingertips, then like a whale swallowing, he absorbed all the surrounding wandering energy into his fingertips, causing the fierce airflow to mess up all the furniture in the hall completely. Then, a grain-sized milky white light particle appeared, containing astonishing energy, making Jie Kong’s color change precipitously.
Lu Ren smiled slightly, showing cold white teeth, gently moving his wrist, as Bright Sun Great Light shot like a bullet, instantly streaking towards Jie Kong.
In an instant, it only paused a finger snap within three feet in front of Jie Kong, then broke through, colliding with Jie Kong instantaneously and exploded with earth-shattering power.
Lu Ren had already withdrawn explosively as he cast Bright Sun Great Light, retreating from the meditation room in an instant.
The milky white brilliance erupted, squeezing the entire meditation room until it exploded, the white light sphere expanded endlessly, growing until it devoured several nearby buildings before it exploded.
The brightness illuminated Juliu City like daylight, followed by a visible shock wave affecting the entire Zhuan Kong Temple, causing large buildings to collapse instantly, as the daylight-like impact stream ascended nine skies.
Rumbling booms continued endlessly.
Standing in front of the meditation room, Lu Ren squinted, staring at the meditation room, which was now a large, deep pit, with a charred human silhouette half-buried in the soil at the bottom.
The opponent was not dead; on the contrary, even after being directly hit by Bright Sun Great Light Technique, his life aura did not weaken but instead grew denser and mightier.
The true secret of the opponent was not as fragile as Jie Kong’s appearance suggested.
The commotion around was getting closer from afar.
Lu Ren turned to look into the distance as that overwhelmingly strong Qi and Blood aura rapidly moved towards Zhuan Kong Temple.
The huge heritage in Juliu City started to reveal itself; what qualification does Liaoyuan have to conduct human sacrifice?
Thinking in his mind, Lu Ren once again gathers another Bright Sun Great Light Technique, and as he slightly moves his wrist, the grain-sized light point shoots like a bullet.
An earth-shattering intense explosion suddenly came, and under this daylight-like illumination, Lu Ren’s figure turned into a black thread, swiftly moving through streets and alleys back to his residence.
Standing in the courtyard, the light from Bright Sun Great Light reached its peak, forming a giant mushroom cloud slowly rising.
A remarkably tall and robust man, with a height of two meters and five, stood before the large pit of Zhuan Kong Temple. The casual aura emitting from him caused the surrounding air to slightly distort.
The majestic Qi and Blood on his body flared like a wolf smoke, straight into the sky, clearly visible from afar.
The high temperature emanating from him felt as if he was a blazing furnace.
Wearing heavy armor, arms crossed, he looked indifferently at Jie Kong, whose half-body remained in the pit.
Jie Kong’s body exhibited extreme vitality, with the destroyed half-body slowly regenerating visibly.
Seeing this, the robust man’s eyes deepened, watched silently at Jie Kong, shedding a new tender body from the charred shell, as the defense army and patrol bureau quickly sealed the entire Zhuan Kong Temple.
"Master Jie Kong, your life is truly tough. The Buddhist Dharma is indeed profound, already reaching the realm of rebirth from bones, life-death people. You consolidate your vitality, concentrating it to prolong the flow of Life Essence, but now you’ve lost because of small gains, afraid you won’t survive many years."
Watching Jie Kong slowly rise from below, the robust man showed mockery, with no intention to rescue.
Jie Kong, at this moment, already lost his previous high monk image, with exceptionally fierce fingers.
Upon hearing the robust man’s words, he suddenly raised his head, glaring viciously at him.
"Liu Changkui! If I die, you won’t fare well either. Soon, our experts from Liaoyuan will arrive, and by then, the whole Juliu City will undergo human sacrifice."
Apparently due to suffering an unimaginable attack, with his body severely damaged, he seemed hysterical.
Upon hearing Jie Kong’s words, Liu Changkui’s face rapidly cooled, his gaze containing undisguised murderous intent.
"Nonsense, delusional, farfetched beyond belief; you Liaoyuan will definitely be wiped out one day because of it."
"You’ll see, you’ll understand what I’m saying, you ignoramus. You completely lack knowing what’s truly happening in this world."
Jie Kong’s face showed a sinister smile; he suddenly shouted, "Find him, get him for me. I will use him as the first lamb in the blood sacrifice; he is the one Doye Jala is looking for, he is!!!"
