Chapter 386: Feathered Pheasant Sword
Lu Wu was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Ninth Apostle.
Her abrupt murderous rampage left Lu Wu completely bewildered.
However, he quickly regained his composure and understood the reason behind her actions.
It was evident that his exposure of the old man's dark past had revealed his identity.
The root of her behavior lay with the scoundrel from her family.
Although Lu Wu couldn't fathom how his old man possessed such allure to make the Ninth Apostle act this way, he clearly knew that he couldn't leave at this moment.
If he fled, not only would he face consequences from the old man, but he also wouldn't be able to live with himself.
Moreover, Lu Wu didn't want to run away.
He believed he could handle an Eighth Apostle!
His Beast Soul erupted.
Lu Wu's strength surged to the 3-Star level, still falling short of his opponent's but not entirely helpless.
"Die, old man!" Lu Wu shouted, immediately releasing his Malevolent Aura State.
He revealed his full power, and with Omnipotent Surge, his body flickered with electric light, boosting his speed significantly, almost catching up to the Vampire Overlord from before. In an instant, he reached the Eighth Envoy and raised his hand, thrusting his sword towards the lower three roads.
The Eighth Apostle's eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing the attack pattern from the Vampire Overlord's earlier assault.
"You don't think the same offense will work on me, do you?" the Eighth Apostle said as he swiftly struck back. His speed was evidently faster than before, and his Feathered Pheasant Sword easily blocked Lu Wu's Celestial Cloud Sword. With a backhand slap, he aimed for Lu Wu's head.
Lu Wu, using his other hand, formed a sword with his fingers and thrust it upwards.
His Frost Blade Intent erupted, unleashing a sword energy towards the Eighth Apostle's palm.
As Lu Wu's sword energy burst forth, he felt a terrifying power surge from the Celestial Cloud Sword, originating from the Feathered Pheasant Sword.
The overwhelming force pushed Lu Wu off balance, causing his sword energy to veer off course, and he was struck by the Eighth Apostle's palm, sending him flying.
The Eighth Apostle, unlike the 47th Apostle, had no intention of toying with his opponent.
He was well aware of his objective and swiftly followed up his initial strike.
With a flash of malevolent blood energy, his speed erupted as he lunged towards Lu Wu, sword raised for the kill. Lu Wu reacted swiftly, managing to activate the defensive form of his Frost Blade Intent just in time to be struck.
The Eighth Apostle's sword shattered Lu Wu's Frost Blade Intent, smashing him in the chest.
With a backhand, he aimed for Lu Wu's throat, but the Seductive Queen on the side intervened with an Enchantment Heart, failing to control the Eighth Apostle but successfully defusing the crisis for Lu Wu.
Lu Wu, saved by the Seductive Queen, fixed his gaze upon the Feathered Pheasant Sword in the Eighth Apostle's hand.

In the brief exchange that occurred just moments ago, Lu Wu had suffered greatly at the hands of this sword.
During their confrontation, Lu Wu had to endure two attacks, one from the 8th Apostle and the other from the Feathered Pheasant Sword, each more terrifying than the last.
Lu Wu was essentially facing two King Rank 3-Star opponents, or perhaps even more formidable adversaries, simultaneously.
Such attacks were too much for Lu Wu to withstand, no matter how powerful he was.
"This won't do, I can't confront him head-on."
Just as Lu Wu decided to avoid the brunt of the attack, his Celestial Cloud Sword became displeased.
(Lu Wu, keep fighting it!)
Lu Wu was taken aback for a moment. At that instant, the 8th Apostle on the opposite side broke free from the Enchantment Heart.
"The Enchantment Heart? It's not that impressive, I'd say it's less effective than you guys taking off your clothes."
The 8th Apostle disdainfully commented on the Succubus Queen's talent, while simultaneously charging towards her.
In any battle, the priority is to eliminate the controller first—this is common knowledge.
In a 6v9, 1v1, and 1v100, there's no mistake!
The 8th Apostle's sudden burst of power was terrifying.
In an instant, he appeared before the Succubus Queen, and with a swift motion of his hand, he unleashed a killing move from the Feathered Pheasant Sword Technique.
A sword intent as brilliant as the heavenly might itself erupted, slicing through everything in its path. The Succubus Queen, with her relatively low combat power, was immediately overwhelmed, and her already slower reaction time further deteriorated.
The Succubus Queen was about to be slain by a single sword strike.
At that moment, a flash of lightning appeared, and Lu Wu rushed to the Succubus Queen's side, brandishing his sword to block the attack.
This act caused the 8th Apostle's mouth to twitch slightly.
"Block? My sword has twice the power of my own attack. What can a forced King Rank 2-Star, who barely made it to 3-Star, possibly block?"
Since you want to block, let her die by your sword!"
As he spoke, the 8th Apostle's momentum surged even further.
With a sinister smile, he slashed down with his sword, intending to press down on Lu Wu's sword and slay the Succubus Queen.
However, just as his sword descended, Lu Wu's Celestial Cloud Sword glowed, and the 8th Apostle's sword power was suddenly halved.
(See? My Celestial Cloud Sword is still the most powerful.)
The Celestial Cloud Sword, having successfully countered the attack, felt proud, but Lu Wu had no time to respond.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Wu raised his hand and blocked the 8th Apostle's sword.
Although he successfully blocked the attack, the power of the sword still sent Lu Wu crashing into the Succubus Queen's embrace, slamming both of them to the ground.
On the other side, the 8th Apostle, upon witnessing this scene, was not surprised but rather delighted. He turned his gaze towards Lu Wu's sword, his eyes burning with desire.
"I've decided, this sword is mine!"
With this sword, the Feathered Pheasant Sword could break free from its current state.
At that time, the 8th Apostle's strength would further increase, allowing him to directly advance to the Epic Rank and perhaps even become the Sixth Envoy.
Envisioning this bright future, the 8th Apostle was filled with motivation.
He lifted the Feathered Pheasant Sword, and a powerful move erupted.
An aura akin to a ghostly god spread out, and an incredibly terrifying sword intent enveloped Lu Wu below.
Being shrouded by this sword intent, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
"I can't dodge, I can only withstand it head-on!"
At this moment, he finally understood how the 9th Apostle had felt when he was locked down by Lu Wu's Fire God Strike.
With no other choice, Lu Wu gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and waved his longsword. In that instant, the entire sanctuary's sky dimmed...
