The man in golden armors moved rapidly. In a blink, he had flown to the city south from a distance.
Two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Samsara Palace were fighting at the city south. They saw this one person coming. He seemed to be at the Earth Immortal Realm and his face could not be made out. They could only see his eyes but they find him very unfamiliar. They took actions together and flew up, thinking about stopping this man.
“Swish, swish~”
The man in golden armors thrusted his spear forward. As he did so, Xuan Qi from all sides was gathered together and surged forward along with the spear. A plume of white air took shape around the head. That stream of air whooshed on in the speed of lightning, reaching an Earth Immortal Realm warrior in an instant.
Everyone was astonished at what happened next. The circulation of air covered up the Ji Family Great Patriarch. He was frozen immediately.
“Swish—”
The man in golden armors did not pause for even one moment after he thrusted his spear. He pressed forward with indomitable will as if he had already known that the stream of white air could freeze the enemy in front of him.
“Bang!”
The spear landed on the Earth Immortal Realm warrior’s chest. The armor he wore burst open. Blood spirted out. The spear pierced into his chest. Then, the man in golden armor swung his spear, ripping the Earth Immortal Realm warrior open. He was reduced into a pile of minced flesh, spilling everywhere.
“Withdraw!”
The other Earth Immortal Realm warrior was completely frightened. He stepped back in a fit of terror. At the moment, it was dead quiet in the city. That man had killed an Earth Immortal Realm warrior in an instant? Was he a chosen warrior as well?
The man in golden armor did not take any rest nor did he go after that escaping Earth Immortal Realm warrior. He flew back in a more intimidating manner, so threatening that people were suffocated.
They felt…
This man was not a human being, but a god. He could not be stopped and those tried to do so would be killed.
“Hiss, hiss~”
More than one warriors gasped. They believed the man resembled Xing Mu, Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. This man was as intimidating as a ferocious beast. No average Earth Immortal Realm warrior could have such overwhelming energy.
“Drip, drip!”
Lu Ling gazed at the man coming to her. Tears ran down from the corner of her eyes and danced in the wind. The man was in golden armor, a full suit of armor that covered him completely except for his eyes. Even so, Lu Ling recognized him instantly.
She had remembered the man’s looks by heart. She could recognize him even he was in ashes, not to mention covered by armors.
Tears streamed down Lu Feixue’s cheeks as well. Under the influence of the potion she was felt with, she could not use Xuan Energy. She was too weak to move his finger. However, at the moment, she had gathered enough strength to open her mouth and shout, “Brother—”
She yearned to meet him, she suffered from injustice and she was more than delighted to see him. Everything was contained in her calling him “brother.”
Many trembled, many was stunned and fear appeared in the eyes of more when they heard her saying “brother.”
Lu Renhuang!
From the moment he was born, he had been glaring like a sun. After he started his cultivation as a warrior, no pear of him could compete with him. His glow was not to be cloaked.
He was celebrated as the most talented man in the Central Plains for over one hundred thousand years. He was regarded as the one that would most likely reach the Semi-God Realm. He came back in glory after disappearing for 23 years. He killed a Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior in one move, one second. His power and energy were so strong that he overwhelmed all warriors present.
He was the sovereign among humans!
This was the thought in many people’s head at the moment. His name contained such a meaning. This was what Lu Zhengyan aspired his son to be like. Lu Renhuang was a living embodiment of a sovereign among humans. He had on golden armors and he held a golden spear. He stood in midair with pride, like an emperor above the masses. Nobody could steal his spotlight.
Hearing Lu Feixue’s calling, the man trembled. He turned to him. The armor over his face disappeared gradually. A handsome yet ragged face was revealed.
He looked so fondly at her and nodded to Lu Feixue. Then, he turned to Lu Ling. As they locked their looks, Lu Ling felt she could no longer held back her feelings. She couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Fa… Father!”
She was trying her best to control herself. Nonetheless, her voice was trembling. Her pretty face was covered with a mixed array of expressions. She longed to see him, she had resentment toward him, she felt wronged, she felt pleased and she loved him most dearly…
“My child!”
For the first time, Lu Renhuang said something. His voice was low and deep. At the same time, it was forcefully articulate and charming. He gazed into Lu Ling for a moment with pride. “My daughter is so impressive. Ling-er, I, your father, is very proud of you,” said Lu Renhuang with a nod.
Lu Ling smiled at his words, which turned her into a weeping beauty. She felt all the injustice she suffered from through the years, all the pain she went through were all worth it when he said so.
Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling looked at Lu Renhuang with mixed feelings. Lu Li resembled Lu Renhuang’s appearance. But Lu Renhuang seemed to be domineering, like a sword unsheathed. Lu Li was more like a sword not drawn yet, more restrained.
Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling were consumed with worry because they found it hard to tell whether Lu Li was alive or not. They were not married to Lu Li yet so they didn’t know how to behave or salute to Lu Renhuang.
He checked Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling up and down, nodding to them as acknowledgement. Then, he turned to Jiang Wuwo, smiled but said nothing.
Eventually, Lu Renhuang looked at Ji Ao’xian. Killing intent spread out from Lu Renhuang. Lifting his spear up slowly, he pointed at Ji Ao’xian. Following that, Lu Renhuang took a look around. “Ji Ao’xian, Yang Bucheng, Che the Terror, Xiao Wanjun, Granny Flower, Lu Zhengtan, you are all people that have earned a celebrated reputation for decades or hundreds of years. Now, you have given up all manners just to kill my daughter? Come on. Let us waste no time. I will fight the six of you by myself!”
“Whoosh~”
Lu Renhuang flew up rapidly. He stood in midair with pride, readying the spear in his hand. “How now have the guts to bully my children? I, Lu Renhuang, will put an end to your six families today,” shouted him in fury.
“What!”
A huge reaction swept across the city. Millions of warriors felt a rush of blood. They had even forgotten about the threat from the Walking Puppets around them. All the warriors were just looking at the sky. They even felt the need to hold their breaths when they looked at the unconquerable hero.
One man against six masters? One man against six families?
There was no telling whether Lu Renhuang was going to succeed or not but his daring courage was second to none. He must be only in his forties. The six Family Patriarchs, on the other hand, were very advanced in ages. They had reached the Earth Immortal Realm many years ago. Anyone of them could be regarded as a renowned character over the Central Plains. It would be impressive already for Lu Renhuang to fight one of them. But now he wanted to deal with the six of them?
“Alas…”
Looking at the dominating man high above, sensing his courage quality, Jiang Wuwo felt somewhat down spirited.
Since Lu Renhuang was born, he had always been better than his peers. During the years of his disappearance, Jiang Wuwo had finally reached the Earth Immortal Realm. He thought for once he could be better than Lu Renhuang. But Jiang Wuwo realized he was wrong, absurdly wrong.
He might never be able to compete with Lu Renhuang in this life time. Lu Renhuang was a blessed warrior, a favorite of the heavens. He was destined for a rapid rise in his life and nobody could ever compete with him.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Ji Ao’xian burst into a laughter out of extreme anger. Lu Renhuang was so arrogant that he felt annoyed. He was upset that Lu Renhuang was more overwhelming than him. Now that Lu Renhuang had asked for death himself, why not help him toward that goal?
Ji Ao’xian, Xiao Wanjun, Che the Terror and Yang Bucheng exchanged eye contact. The four of them flew up. Over at the city west, Granny Flower of the Pavilion of Blossoms, wiped off the kind smile off her face. She flew up with the others, solemnly.
Lu Zhengtan didn’t go with them, though. On the contrary, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. He had been there when this niece of his, Lu Renhuang, was growing up. He must have enough leverage to be able to come back after disappearing for more than a score of years.
Lu Zhengtan struggled for a moment and eventually decided against joining the others. There was this strong feeling within his heart. He believed that if he dared to go, Lu Renhuang could end his life in one move…
