Chapter 388: The War Hammer Form

Chapter 388: The War Hammer Form

Lu Wu's transformation was actually a simple task that required little effort.

The reason he had put on that show earlier, asking the Ninth Apostle to buy him time while he went outside the sanctuary to transform, was to release the Lesser Skeletons.

With this undead army, he intended to create a cauldron capable of cooking the Eighth Apostle.

And then, he would invite the Eighth Apostle into the cauldron!

The plan proceeded smoothly.

Anxious to capture Lu Wu, the Eighth Apostle never anticipated Lu Wu's strategy and fell right into his trap, becoming a sitting duck.

Three terrifying attacks descended, dealing an unprecedented blow to the Eighth Apostle.

First was the skill, Group Undead Pressure.

Although the Lesser Skeleton's strength was one star lower than the Corrupted Bone King, the undead army under Lu Wu's command was more than a third smaller than the Bone King's.

However, the Lesser Skeleton also had its advantages. It had seventeen pairs of low-grade Bone Dragon Knights and a Great Dragon of the 1-Star Archmage level.

Moreover, after its advancement, the Lesser Skeleton's innate talent was significantly stronger than the Corrupted Bone King.

When it unleashed Group Undead Pressure, its power was no less than that of the Corrupted Bone King, and it was even more formidable.

But this wave of attacks was merely a supporting act.

The truly deadly blows came from Index's and Lu Wu's roars.

Both roars were of the Divine Technique level, and their attacks were incredibly terrifying.

Another crucial factor was that, although the Eighth Apostle had unsealed the Feathered Pheasant Sword, the Celestial Cloud Sword was still outside.

At this moment, the Eighth Apostle unleashed the power of the King of Divine Artifacts, resealing the Feathered Pheasant Sword.

Without the Feathered Pheasant Sword's power, the Eighth Apostle was instantly overwhelmed.

As the terrifying undead pressure descended, the Eighth Apostle trembled, barely managing to hold up its defenses, when Index's roar pierced through.

The roar, infused with flames and the might of the dead, penetrated the Eighth Apostle's defenses and struck its chest.

"Ahhhh!!"

The unimaginable pain caused the Eighth Apostle to roar in agony.

Its face contorted in agony.

"Lu Wu, don't think that this petty trick can kill me. Wait and see; I'll break every bone in your body, leaving you begging for death."

Before the Eighth Apostle could finish its threat, Lu Wu's roar followed.

Together with Index's roar, they formed a pincer attack, and Lu Wu's roar pierced through the Eighth Apostle's chest.

The Eighth Apostle was completely overwhelmed by the onslaught.

Its roars and moans were drowned out.

It seemed as if the fierce attacker had been reduced to ashes under the relentless tide of attacks.

Even the Ninth Apostle, who had been captured by Lu Wu, couldn't help but gasp at the ferocity of the assault.

If she had faced it head-on, she might not have lasted even a minute.

Lu Wu and his allies continued their assault on the Eighth Apostle for over ten minutes.

They only stopped when the central figure, the Eighth Apostle, fell silent, indicating that their energy was nearly depleted.

As the attacks ceased, the pressure, roars, and dust dissipated.

The spot where the Eighth Apostle had been standing was now empty.

Seeing this, the Ninth Apostle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it's over..."

"Who said I'm dead?"

Just as the Ninth Apostle believed they had defeated the Eighth Apostle, a cold, deep voice filled with endless anger echoed.

Immediately after, from beneath the ground where the Eighth Apostle had been, a severed hand holding a sword emerged.

The hand that had just spoken was the only part of the once-powerful Eighth Apostle that remained.

Yet, in its pitiful state, the Eighth Apostle unexpectedly exuded arrogance.

"Is it finally over? Have you run out of strength? Then it's my turn, isn't it?"

The Ninth Apostle was perplexed, wondering how this badly injured Apostle could still act so arrogantly.

The severed hand glowed with a crimson light, and the Ninth Apostle witnessed the Eighth Apostle, who had only a severed hand left, rapidly regenerating at a terrifying speed.

In less than ten seconds, the Eighth Apostle was fully restored.

"Surprised? Delighted?"

The revived Eighth Apostle looked at Lu Wu with a smug expression.

"It was indeed a close call. I had to sacrifice most of my body to preserve my arm.

To be honest, I was in a very difficult situation. If you had persisted for another hour or two, I might have died!

But unfortunately for you, you won't get that chance.

Now, it's my turn. Have you decided how you want to die?"

"As the eighth apostle spoke, he pointed the Feathered Pheasant Sword at Lu Wu."

A condescending smirk curled his lips, brimming with murderous intent.

One couldn't help but admit that this scene was truly unnerving.

Even a seasoned veteran like the ninth apostle, upon witnessing this spectacle and facing the eighth apostle before him, would feel utterly crushed.

How could one possibly fight such an opponent? With formidable strength and high endurance, this adversary was virtually invincible. It was simply impossible to defeat them.

The ninth apostle couldn't help but offer a suggestion to Lu Wu.

"Lu Wu, why don't we retreat for now?"

But Lu Wu merely smiled and replied, "Retreat? Why?"

As he spoke, Lu Wu's form shifted, transforming from his lesser dragon state back into his human form.

"Little Skeleton, hand me your bone staff."

(Oh!)



The obedient Little Skeleton passed the bone staff to Lu Wu.

Lu Wu's eyes remained fixed on him.

"As expected, the clean Lu Wu is the most handsome Lu Wu, and Little Skeleton adores him so."

Lu Wu caught the bone staff with one hand, paying no heed to the envious Little Skeleton, and strode towards the arrogant eighth apostle.

Surprisingly, the once fierce and haughty eighth apostle, upon seeing Lu Wu approach, couldn't help but blink repeatedly, his face betraying a hint of unease.

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu walked forward, the bone staff in his hand underwent a transformation.

The bone staff entered its third form.

This evolution had begun even before Lu Wu and Little Skeleton parted ways.

Initially, the bone staff had two forms: a silver spear and a bone staff.

But when Lu Wu and Little Skeleton reunited, the bone staff had acquired a third form—the battle hammer form.

And now, Lu Wu wielded this very battle hammer form.

...

Item: Bone Staff (Battle Hammer Form)



Rarity: Epic

Description: The battle hammer form is a manifestation of the light energy Little Skeleton absorbed during the university league, primarily utilizing light energy for attacks. While its damage output may not be exceptional against enemies of other attributes, it is an absolute nightmare for evil summoners and undead entities.

...

Little Skeleton had previously relied on this weapon to withstand the attacks of the corrupted undead king, who had reached the king level and unleashed his three-star strength.

And now, Lu Wu brandished this very form.

The eighth apostle, who had been bluffing all along, was utterly terrified.

He turned to flee, but with no escape route, he was cornered by Lu Wu in the dead-end alley.

"Surprised?"

"Delighted?"

"Immortal?"

"Let me think about how to die?"

Cornering the eighth apostle, Lu Wu swung the battle hammer, delivering a barrage of devastating blows.

Having endured a relentless assault for over ten minutes and barely recovering, the eighth apostle, already at the end of his rope, couldn't muster any resistance against Lu Wu's onslaught.

Each strike from Lu Wu was lethal and irreversible.

He was going to die! If he didn't do something, this would be the end.

The fear of death enveloped the eighth apostle, stirring his strongest survival instinct, causing his mind to race as he desperately pleaded for mercy in various ways.

"Don't kill me, or the Sakuragi family will come after you!"

"If you kill me, the fourth envoy won't let you off the hook!"

"I know the secret of the gate, and I'll tell you everything if you spare my life!"

...

The eighth apostle's pleas fell on deaf ears as Lu Wu continued to strike, leaving the eighth apostle with only his head intact.

One more blow, and he would be finished.

At this critical juncture, the eighth apostle voiced his last hope.

"Someone is plotting against Dudu!"

As the eighth apostle shouted these words, Lu Wu's battle hammer trembled, but it didn't stop its descent.

"Pfft!" The eighth apostle's head was smashed to pieces by the hammer.

Thus, a top-ranking member of the Zero Organization, in control of Region 11, met his end.

As for the eighth apostle's final words, Lu Wu didn't believe them at all.

After all, Dudu was a well-behaved and adorable girl.

Who would have the heart to bully such an innocent child?

Moreover, did they think Lu Wu was dead?

With one Lu Wu already gone, if they dared to harm Dudu, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Hence, Lu Wu didn't believe it one bit.

"Was he lying just now?"

Alright, since it concerned Dudu, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After pummeling the eighth apostle with the battle hammer, Lu Wu immediately turned to the ninth apostle beside him.

(End of Chapter)

The 9th Apostle frowned, and Lu Wu immediately felt anxious. "No one would be foolish enough to target Dudu, right?"

"It's hard to say. Recently, Pang Dudu has been quite high-profile."

"What did she do to be so high-profile?" Lu Wu was even more confused.

What could his Dudu have possibly done?

Lu Wu called over the Lesser Skeleton and inquired about Dudu's recent activities.

Lu Wu had no idea what was going on until he asked the Lesser Skeleton, who couldn't hold back any longer.

The Lesser Skeleton hugged Lu Wu and burst into tears.

(The soft-hearted Lu Wu became so mean to the Lesser Skeleton and the Lesser Dragon, scolding them every day and even making them fight us.)



Lu Wu, please don't be so mean to us anymore.

She can't even cook or do laundry anymore; she's useless!

From now on, the Lesser Skeleton will cook and do laundry for Lu Wu!

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Wu pushed the Lesser Skeleton away and called Intesis over to ask about Dudu's situation.

Intesis didn't have much information either.

Lu Wu could only learn so much from Intesis. At most, he found out that Dudu seemed to have lost weight and Tuan had become stronger.

Additionally, Dudu seemed like a completely different person.

That was all Intesis could share, as it was beyond her understanding.

In the end, Lu Wu had no choice but to turn his attention back to the 9th Apostle.

From the 9th Apostle, Lu Wu received news that was hard to believe.

"You're saying Dudu replaced me as the Student Council President of Jiangnan University?"

"You mean Dudu unified Jiangnan University, absorbing Dongda University and Jiangbei University?"

"You're telling me Dudu is planning to create the Southern University Alliance, and if successful, she'll become the undisputed queen of Zone 1 and even the entire Southern region?"

"Are you joking with me?"

Lu Wu found it hard to imagine.

In just a few months, his Dudu, that silly and naive girl, who he thought he could fool into having multiple children with him, had become a powerful and decisive leader.

"It can't be true, it must be a lie!"

Even as Lu Wu said this, he knew that the 9th Apostle had no reason to deceive him.

This made Lu Wu feel terrible.

How could he not have noticed Dudu's capabilities when he was around?

Did she hide her abilities well?

Or did his presence hinder her potential?

Lu Wu couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried.

"It seems I must make a trip back to Zone 1."

Whether it was true or not, he had to go back and see Dudu.

Before returning, Lu Wu, there were still matters to attend to.

With the 8th Apostle now dead, it was time for the long-awaited event.

Lu Wu first took the 8th Apostle's Feathered Pheasant Sword.

As the Celestial Cloud Sword was lacking in nourishment, Lu Wu decided to feed it to the Celestial Cloud Sword.

Lu Wu conveniently absorbed the Malevolent Aura from the Feathered Pheasant Sword, then tossed it to the Celestial Cloud Sword to handle on its own.

Although this sword was of a higher rank than the Celestial Cloud Sword, due to the Malevolent Aura's corrosion and the backlash from its owner's defeat, it currently had little resistance. The Celestial Cloud Sword should be able to do as it pleased with this sword.

Afterward, Lu Wu sent the Lesser Skeleton back through the Gate of the Dead and returned to the 11th Zone's sanctuary, reverting to his Evil Cultivator state.

With the 8th Apostle gone, Lu Wu should naturally inherit their assets.

To Lu Wu's surprise, the 72nd Apostle was still there when he re-entered the sanctuary.

He stood guard, trembling yet respectfully awaiting orders.

Upon seeing Lu Wu and the 9th Apostle, his face showed momentary astonishment, but he immediately lowered his head.

"Greetings, 8th Apostle."

Lu Wu observed the 72nd Apostle's reaction and demeanor.

A true sycophant, he would bend over backward without hesitation.

Lu Wu glanced at the 72nd Apostle before him, considering whether to kill him, as he seemed to know Lu Wu's identity.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Wu refrained from taking action.

Instead, he infused a surge of energy into the 72nd Apostle's energy space.

With this energy, Lu Wu could eliminate him at any moment.

After dealing with this, Lu Wu patted the 72nd Apostle's shoulder and said, "Let's go. First, take me to where Sakuragi is being held."

...

Handsome and charismatic readers,

Are you sure you won't give a vote to Angry Laughter, as handsome as yourselves?
