Chapter 381: 381, [Divine Fire Avenue]
“Demon Sect Lu Xun!?” This name resonated in the hearts of all present on the battlefield.
At first, upon seeing the distant sword light approaching, everyone thought it was a sword cultivator from West State coming to our aid.
After all, we are close neighbors, acquainted for many years, and Shang Haiqing had just sent a flying sword-bearing message, desperately asking for reinforcements, desperately inspiring people.
However, it turned out that only one person had arrived to help, and they weren’t from either of the two major Sword Sects.
It makes sense, the battle had just begun, and even if the two Sword Sects sent someone over, they wouldn’t be able to get here that quickly.
But for them, having this person here to aid them was enough.
The four words “Demon Sect Lu Xun” were enough!
Because just a few days ago, a message had already spread throughout the world regarding Lu Xun and the “Sword Qi is Near”.
Everyone knew that “The Sword Qi is Near” had headed south, searching for Lu Xun.
Therefore, the way they looked at the man in the black robe immediately changed, and the way they looked at the sword beside him changed as well.
Even the sixth-level elder of the Fire Yan Sect looked at him with a hint of reverence!
Everyone on the Heavenly Dust Continent knows how terrifying “The Sword Qi is Near” is.
Even though Yan Li had closed her doors to cultivation and “The Sword Qi is Near” had been sealed in the Hidden Mountain for many years, legends about them had never ceased in this world.
The addition of “The Sword Qi is Near” to this battle scenario is a great fortune for the Fire Yan Sect!
Moreover, it must be said that with Lu Xun’s current reputation, his appearance holds a tremendous ability to boost morale.
Especially, when he killed a monster with a single sword strike!
Among the younger generation, countless people look at Lu Xun as if he’s a celebrity, considering him an idol and a role model.
Wherever he goes, legends about him are left behind.
Whether it’s his looks, character, background, strength… he seems impeccable in every aspect.
The Fire Yan Sect is very close to West State, so it’s somewhat influenced by it, with many practicing the sword.
The fame of Lu Xun’s natural sword embryo is well known to everyone.
He has never lost a fight, whether he had a sword or not.
And now, he has a sword by his side.
It’s the “Sword of the Ages”—”The Sword Qi is Near”!
Facing enemies with such a person, why should we fear the battle?
As for the ludicrous players, there is no need to say more.
“Purple Palace! Holy shit! It’s the Purple Palace!”
“I’m going crazy! How can he be so handsome even with a bamboo hat on!”
“The world’s protagonist is here, guys, let’s fight!”
“Damn! Kill them all! With the Purple Palace right here, who knows what hidden plot might be triggered! Go for it!”
“You dare to fight me? With the Purple Palace here, let me see if you dare!”
Morale is an essential part of any battle.
And the words “Demon Sect Lu Xun” and the existence of “The Sword Qi is Near” are enough to lift morale to its peak!
Lu Xun sat on the paper crane and said to “The Sword Qi is Near”: “Go.”
He gestured for “The Sword Qi is Near” to act on its own.
“The Sword Qi is Near” emitted a sword cry that echoed throughout the heavens and the earth. Lu Xun could probably understand its meaning: “Don’t give orders to me!”
However, to outsiders, it would seem like: Lu Xun directed “The Sword Qi is Near” to attack the enemy, causing it to emit an excited and resounding sword cry!
Just see, “The Sword Qi is Near” shot out and vanished into thin air, diving into the heart of the foreign race’s army!
Lu Xun sat atop the paper crane, taking a deep breath.
“The familiar feeling is back!” he said to himself.
In his past life, when he played the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero, he enjoyed joining battles all around.
It not only boosted his fame but also enhanced his strength.
And he truly enjoyed these intense and exciting battles!
He felt his heartbeat quickening, his blood flowing faster. He was constantly in a state of high excitement.
The foreign races relished in bloodshed due to certain special reasons. Lu Xun wasn’t bloodthirsty, but simply… loved to fight!
“I will take care of this area. Don’t get too close, go and support elsewhere.” Lu Xun told the Fire Yan Sect disciples that he had just saved.
They looked at each other, but dared not disobey Lu Xun’s orders.
Even though he wasn’t an elder from their Sect, his gentle voice and calm face commanded respect, making unconsciously want to listen and obey his instructions and arrangements.
Flows of dark-colored energy began to swirl around Lu Xun. He activated his “Pink Ink,” protecting himself.
Due to the “Endurance” upgrade, “Pink Ink” had been enhanced to a certain degree.
The dark-colored energy flows did not become thicker, nor was their color darker, but they seemed to have more artistic conception.
It was as if an invisible brush was writing and drawing around him, with a dragon-like grace!
Then, starting from where he was, a hazy fog began to spread outwards.
Sword Intent – “Mist Sword”!
Wherever the mist spreads, the Sword Intent reaches!
The intertwining of ink aura and fog makes everything around seem extremely mystical, circulating an indescribable scent.
Yet within these sophisticated surroundings, an endless murderous intent is hidden!
Lu Xun lifted his left index finger lightly tapping the sword sheath, uttering: “Rise!”
Over a thousand streams of Sword Qi gushed out from the sheath, its momentum astonishing!
Lu Xun remained still, but his Sword Qi moved.
He was about to start harvesting Experience Points.
Within the fog, this man dressed in a black robe, his body immersed in an ink aura, constantly killed surrounding foreign races.
Every single one that came, he killed; every pair that came, he slaughtered!
This was also thanks to the [Sword Qi is Near] that was rampantly reaping life on the battlefield.
If any high-level alien race aimed at Lu Xun, in the blink of an eye, they would be slashed in half by the[Sword Qi is Near].
It is not that it is tirelessly protecting Lu Xun, it only wants to protect the sword sheath clutched in Lu Xun’s hand.
What Lu Xun was holding, after all, was its life source!
And so, Lu Xun recklessly kept killing the surrounding foreign race, and his Experience Points began to skyrocket!
Everyone clearly heard the “Demon Sect Lu Xun”. So even as Lu Xun was engaged in a mad massacre, innumerable alien races still surged towards him like a tide, eager to gain merit by killing him.
“Has my notoriety become so widespread amongst the foreign races?” he wondered in his heart.
Witnessing a disciple of the Fire Yan sect about to perish before him, Lu Xun, with an ease bordering on leisure, freed a hand to release a Finger-tip Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi instantaneously pierced through the Level 33 alien, directly passing through its forehead.
As much as they came, he would kill, not busy he would even give support. Anyone else in his place would have drained their spiritual power long ago.
The mysterious and overwhelming Five Element Spiritual Power furiously circulated within him, his endurance terrifyingly high, with a total amount of spiritual power inside him that could scare people, enabling him to unleash the power without restraint.
Although on normal days the upgrade required a vast amount of Experience Points, the advantage during such chaotic battles was clearly evident now.
However, the control of these thousand Sword Qi, had a huge toll on his Divine Sense.
Even though he had sufficient spiritual power, if this goes on for a long period, his Divine Sense would become overstretched.
In the past, his Divine Sense would have been much stronger than cultivators of the same realm, but having simultaneous control over more than a thousand Sword Qi was no laughing matter.
“At present, there is no other way. The ordinary disciples of the Fire Yan Sect have no advantage whatsoever. I must kill as many low-level aliens as fast as possible, else the casualties for the Fire Yan Sect will become even worse.” thought Lu Xun.
One could only say the Fire Yan Sect were really unlucky. An altar near their sect had attracted such a huge number of low-level foreign races!
As time ticked away by seconds, Lu Xun, although had the support of 5-point spiritual power, was nearing exhaustion of his Divine Sense.
However, his current gain was quite substantial. Under his frantic killing, the Experience Points in the character panel were now enough to level-up!
The cultivators can break through in battle, the players can upgrade by killing monsters. Even though Lu Xun has a significant demand for Experience Points, who can blame him when his killing speed is even more outrageous?
Lu Xun decisively chose to [Upgrade]!
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy surged into his body, raising his level to 37.
“He broke through! He actually broke through in a critical moment again!”
“To breakthrough for him is as easy as drinking water and eating food, the rumors are true!”
“How fierce is Purple Palace! Despite killing so many monsters, I still don’t have enough experience points to level up!”
Seated atop the paper crane, Lu Xun felt his Divine Sense fill to saturation.
He very much liked this complete feeling.
Feeling full, feeling particularly comfortable.
Under his control, over a thousand Sword Qi swiftly flew into the sky.
And then, like a downpour, they rained from the sky, scattering and killing the surrounding foreign races around Lu Xun.
All this while, Lu Xun’s paper crane remained stationary without any movement.
The surrounding low-level foreign races were completely helpless against him, nobody was able to push him back, or even hurt him.
In the next moment, Lu Xun moved.
The ink-colored aura circled around him, hundreds of Sword Qi flew out from the sheath circling around him as he began to fly forward.
He lifted his right hand, with a finger-tip Sword Qi gathering in his hand, a thick mist forming a vortex around his fingertip.
Hundreds of Sword Qi were busy killing enemies, the Sword Qi from the fingertips was no different.
Every stream of Sword Qi precisely aimed at the surrounding foreign races, some were decapitated by Lu Xun, others were directly beheaded.
These Sword Qi were infused with a burning effect, as long as one was hurt by these Sword Qi, it would ignite the black[Divine Fire]!
This man in a black robe moved constantly forward, relentlessly swinging his sword, and behind him, trails of black flames burned intensely, as if a Divine Fire path was being paved!
Lu Xun, after advancing nearly a thousand meters, halted and dramatically swooshed his black robe’s sleeve.
In an instant, the black [Divine Fire]spread wildly until it engulfed every single foreign race from head to toe!
He held out his hand, slightly hooked his fingers towards his palm and immediately the endless [Divine Fire]was extinguished completely.
And now, if you look back, his path was completely empty, not a single figure of the foreign race could be seen.
