Chapter 417: A Complete Wipeout! A Massive Profit (Part 2)
But... they couldn’t confirm it.
Because they weren't one, but four four people.
And the four individuals, hailing from different factions, couldn't fully trust each other, so they weren't certain if anyone else had secretly made a move.
Therefore, they didn't immediately retaliate with all their might but instead focused on dodging.
Boom!
The attack missed, and Lai Wu spat out more blood, even spraying vital blood essence.
Then, he roared, "How dare you!"
"Zhou Xingchen, do you really want to watch as they kill me?"
"Fine, if that's the case, I'll fight alongside you!"
"Roar!"
He bellowed, and the surrounding heavens and earth changed color. Countless water elements gathered, and water principles condensed densely, as if about to fill this corner of the world!
"Lifebound Spell?"
The four Apex Cultivators who were sent to assist glared at him.
They were furious!
Lai Wu was clearly serious!
Even using his Lifebound Spell, what else could be more serious? And...
He intended to directly have them all buried here!
Good, good, good. What a vicious method.
It was simply outrageous.
They raged, "Zhou Xingchen, do you have anything else to say?!"
One of them instantly had spinning eyes, "Good! We kindly agreed to help you conceal it, but you want to put us in a deadly situation and even... use us as blood food?!"
"What?!"
The other three were shocked, but they quickly realized the situation.
"That's right! It must be so!"
"We are all Apex Cultivators, and if we can be used as blood food to nourish Lai Wu, his strength will undoubtedly improve further. Not only can it completely make up for the losses of Lavur Island today, but he can also profit from it!"
"And even profit? Don't forget, we all carry valuable items. If he feeds on us, it will be a huge profit."
"!!!"
They exchanged glances, and words were unnecessary.
The most powerful ability of humans is 'imagination.'
Through their imagination, everything became exceptionally clear and understandable.
Zhou Xingchen, this bastard, not only wanted to kill them to silence them but also intended to use them as blood food!
So, without hesitation, they took action!
Only the dead could keep secrets.
And it could enhance Lai Wu's strength.
Moreover, after the destruction of Lavur Island, it would compensate for the losses and make a huge profit.
This was hitting three birds with one stone!
The most disgusting part was that Zhou Xingchen was still arguing, claiming he didn't make the move.
Who else could it be if not him?
He was simply inhuman!
Damn him!
"Zhou Xingchen, die!!!"
Matters had come to this point, and since they had figured everything out, there was no need for further thought or hesitation. It was time to take action, and they fought with all their might!
They fought for their lives.
Various techniques emerged.
One of them managed to buy some time, barely holding back Lai Wu.
The other three directly surrounded and attacked Zhou Xingchen!
For Zhou Xingchen...
At this moment, he was also 'clear.'
What was going on?
It was obvious that these bastards were framing him!
Seeing that their extortion attempt failed, they started self-mutilation, and he heard them say they would swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, fearing exposure, and thus, they had no choice but to strike first and injure Lai Wu...
The most infuriating part was that now everything was so clear, and they still had the nerve to act indignant, as if they had suffered some great injustice.
This...
Did they have any shame?
"How dare you!"
"If that's the case, I, the island master, will fight alongside you!"
Lai Wu was also enraged.
He was already in a foul mood!
Lavur Island was destroyed, and decades of cultivation were ruined in an instant. His mood was terrible, like a lit fuse, and it was a short fuse!
How could he not explode?
"Ah!!!"
"Die, die, die!!!"
Zhou Xingchen unleashed all his techniques, and his vital energy power pierced through the sky.
He was a rugged warrior!
And the body cultivator, as others called him, had 80% of his battle prowess in his physical body. No matter the spells or schemes, he was a body cultivator who overpowered everything!
"Kill!!!"
Zhou Xingchen aggressively pushed forward, charging left and right, breaking through their defenses, and fighting three on one without falling into much disadvantage in a short time!
...
"Hiss, you're quite strong!"
"..."
The battle was intense.
Lu Ming observed everything, feeling satisfied with his arrangements and operations.
Putting aside other matters, the current situation was unfolding precisely as he envisioned, even smoother than imagined. This time, they were fighting for their lives!
However, he didn't plan to reveal himself immediately.
He was well aware that although these individuals seemed to be fighting to the death, if he suddenly appeared and intervened, they would instantly understand everything and shift their target to him!
Moreover, they would immediately send out messages for reinforcements.
That would be truly troublesome and filled with uncertainties.
So, he couldn't reveal himself yet.
He needed to continue observing.
However, he wasn't entirely unable to take action.
Especially with the Elementalist's techniques...
They were very useful!
"Super Brain Thrombosis Technique!"
"Super Artery Hardening Technique!"
"What element is bone made of?"
"Oh, mainly calcium element, with other trace elements~!"
"Then, let's go~!"
"Super Bone Hyperplasia Technique!"
"..."
Lu Ming was having the time of his life.
These techniques, to Apex Cultivators, seemed insignificant. It was difficult for them to even cause minor injuries, let alone serious ones.
Because they were fully capable of handling these issues themselves.
And they could handle them perfectly!
But...
The problem was, before this, they hadn't encountered these problems.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
One moment they felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, the next moment they experienced dizziness and headaches, and then their bodies ached as if their bones and joints had rusted, creaking with every movement, and even producing bone splinters that caused excruciating pain.
If it were any other time, they could have resolved these issues in minutes.
But at this critical moment in the battle, these minor issues had directly escalated into major problems!
What's worse, even if they took the time to address these issues, Lu Ming would continue to 'level up', seemingly without end!
This situation tormented the three individuals besieging Zhou Xingchen beyond words.
Their suffering was indescribable.
At this very moment, they were engaged in a fierce battle!
And they all believed that the one causing this suffering, using special means to make them feel so miserable, was none other than Zhou Xingchen. So, what else was there to say?
Naturally, they had to endure the pain and press on, determined to defeat Zhou Xingchen, make him kneel and apologize, and demand compensation!
With Lu Ming's assistance, they had expected to quickly suppress Zhou Xingchen, but to their astonishment, Zhou Xingchen seemed to grow stronger with each attack, even managing to suppress the three of them.
This was truly bizarre.
Zhou Xingchen vaguely sensed something amiss.
There was a problem here, he feared.
Could his strength truly be this formidable?
Were they setting a trap for him?
He became extremely cautious, focusing his attention on his three opponents, trying to discern any hidden schemes. As he observed, Zhou Xingchen noticed something peculiar.
"Their movements all have a certain roughness, not a hint of smoothness."
Zhou Xingchen couldn't understand.
But what he saw was clear; these three old fellows, despite their strength, exhibited a slight hesitation and delay with every attack.
This 'delay' was minimal, but for those at the same cultivation level, it was of utmost importance, providing an opportunity to counterattack!
Yet, why were they like this?
This wasn't their usual performance!
He pondered.
But the three old fellows seemed unaffected, not uttering a word, only gritting their teeth and fiercely attacking him, as if they couldn't wait to eliminate him. This, however, changed his mind.
"This 'delay' isn't fake; they aren't doing it intentionally, but..."
"Could it be that, in my rage, I unknowingly broke through my limits, and my overall combat power has risen to a whole new level, making them appear so rough and clumsy?"
"It must be so!"
"Only this explanation makes sense. In other words, today, not only will I not be suppressed, but I might even suppress them!"
Zhou Xingchen was instantly elated.
Killing these four old fellows was out of the question.
But with his current strength and considering the details of their battle, suppressing or driving them away was absolutely feasible.
"Die!"
With this thought, Zhou Xingchen's excitement surged, and his iron fists swung with the force of a whirlwind.
From a distance, they didn't look like iron fists at all but rather two 'hula hoops' fiercely slamming into his opponents.
"Brilliant!"
"Absolutely brilliant!"
Lu Ming, in his stone form, kept a close eye on the battle while his control over the elements never wavered.
Both battlefields were intense.
The seawater soared into the sky, forming towering waves thousands of feet high. Lai Wu seemed severely injured, yet he couldn't finish off his opponent.
Zhou Xingchen, with divine assistance, grew stronger with each attack, managing to suppress his three opponents and forcing them to slowly retreat...
"Almost there."
As Lu Ming monitored the battlefield, he also analyzed the outcome.
Both sides were fully engaged in the battle, and it had reached a critical point. He quietly gathered his strength, preparing for a decisive strike. Initially, he had to be a bit restrained; if discovered, it might be challenging to keep them all there, leading to future complications. But now, at the battle's climax, he could afford to be a bit 'bold'.
"But I still need to time it right."
Lu Ming carefully observed the battlefield, not missing a single detail.
Finally, he saw an opportunity!
At this moment, Zhou Xingchen was excited. He endured the attacks of his opponents, stubbornly pursuing one of them, relentlessly pounding them, and forcing them to retreat. His iron fists were about to unleash a barrage of blows on his opponent.
The opponent was shocked and immediately defended themselves.
They employed various defensive techniques!
Meanwhile, Lai Wu also joined in.
It opened its huge mouth and leaped into the air, biting at its opponent.
This attack was extremely terrifying, but for those at the same cultivation level, it was too straightforward. Even with the support of various Dao principles, it wasn't difficult for a cultivator of the same level to dodge.
So, the opponent had no intention of engaging in close combat.
Their first instinct was to dodge!
But at this moment, Lu Ming struck!
"I'll make you... explode!"
Boom!
The elemental attack power reached its peak!
In an instant, the world was transformed.
The seawater in the sky froze into ice.
Simultaneously, except for Zhou Xingchen, the blood within everyone's bodies instantly froze!
Even their hearts were 'blown up'!
Their brains exploded!
Instantly, the four apex cultivators were all stunned.
Zhou Xingchen didn't know what had happened, but he followed his plan, and his iron fists unleashed countless blows in an instant, each punch finding its mark, and he nearly turned his opponent into a blood mist!
But...
This result left him dazed.
Zhou Chengxian was actually...
killed just like that?
This was a bit too easy, wasn't it?
In Zhou Chengxian's estimation, even if he got injured, this combination of attacks could at most only cause severe injuries to the opponent. After all, considering the various defensive measures the opponent had and their ability to dodge.
How could he kill so effortlessly?
After all, they were both at the Ninth Stage apex level. Even if he had no intention to surpass to a higher level, the gap shouldn't be so great that it would come to this.
However...
he actually managed to blast the opponent to the point of total annihilation, body and soul!
What on earth was going on?
His thoughts raced,,, recalling the details. He realized that his attacks had faced no resistance at all. The seemingly robust defensive measures of the opponent were like fakes, offering no real defense.
Then...
his punches were all landing on flesh.
From the perspective of the punches landing on flesh, there was no issue; the opponent being blasted was entirely reasonable.
But...
why did his punches land on flesh so easily?
He was bewildered.
The others were even more bewildered!
Especially the two who were attacking Zhou Cheng xian, they instantly trembled all over.
More shockingly, when Zhou Chengxian blasted his opponent, the apex cultivator who was evading Lai Wu, suddenly trembled violently, hesitated for a moment.
At that moment, he was directly swallowed by Lai Wu!
Perhaps he was still alive at that moment.
But Lai Wu's digestive system, damn it, was a bottomless pit. Unless rescued and slain by someone else, he was certainly done for!
It was clearly a four-on-two fight.
Yet in a blink, they lost two major players.
Most importantly, they lost them so inexplicably.
And the two of them instantly burst their blood vessels, internal organs, and even their brains!
If not for sufficient strength, even a last breath could restore them; they were done for good here.
Zhou Chengxian...
when did he become so formidable?
The two were utterly shocked, coughing blood and internal organ fragments, and dared not to linger, immediately splitting up and fleeing in different directions.
"Chase!!"
Zhou Chengxian increasingly felt something was off.
All of this was too smooth.
But things had come to this, and there was no time for many considerations.
He had already killed two people, and Lai Wu had swallowed one. There was no turning back now. Even if he returned to the Alliance, it would be a dead end.
The only plan now was to finish them off, seize all their resources and treasures, then run as far as possible, and make other plans later.
One person, one turtle, fiercely pursued.
The two were at the apex level, and logically, even if they were no match, escaping should not be a problem. But with Lu Ming constantly interfering, they could not get away.
Seeing their lives in grave danger, they could do nothing but roar, transmitting the message.
"Zhou Chengxian, the Lord of Lavur Island, has betrayed the clan!"
"He has long been a slave to the Beast Lai Wu, and now, he has allied with Lai Wu to slaughter us four, to be his blood food, and seize our resources and treasures!"
"Our lives are in grave danger. It's unlikely we can escape. But we ask the Alliance Leader and all allies to take heed and avenge for us."
"For us... avenge!"
Boom!!
Another wave of terrifying attacks came.
The two were killed by Zhou Chengxian and Lai Wu, four apex cultivators...
died in utmost humiliation, even to the point of utter confusion.
"They deserved to die!"
Zhou Chengxian, drenched in blood, stood tall in the sky, and was unusually excited: "Where are the storage pouches? Spit them out!"
"With these resources, we can rebuild the Immortal island of Lai Wu, and even better than before!"
"As for the islanders, just grab a batch, and raise them for four to five generations, and no one will remember them. They will be used for us!"
His plan was strikingly clear.
Although he vaguely felt something was off, he did not think it was Lai Wu's doing.
After all, this was his old friend.
And he had killed two members of the Penglai Alliance.
If there was a problem, would he commit such a heinous crime?
At this moment, he only felt excitement and confidence in his own strength.
"Spit them out quickly, they have already transmitted the message before dying. We must leave immediately. We cannot participate in this counterattack on the mainland."
"Right."
Lai Wu's massive head lifted, and his huge mouth opened.
Since the two were very close, it seemed...
Lai Wu wanted to swallow Zhou Chengxian whole.
Swallow me?
Zhou Chengxian froze, then laughed.
"Scaring myself."
"How could this be..."
Buzz!
Suddenly, his entire body stiffened.
His eyes instantly bloodshot, and his internal organs shattered from the inside out.
And Lai Wu's massive mouth also bit down!
"What?!"
Zhou Chengxian was utterly shocked.
But his survival instinct kicked in, and he immediately used all his strength to dodge.
But even so, it was too late.
He finally understood why the other apex cultivators were so bitter and not the least bit slick during the battle...
Boom!
Lai Wu's massive mouth closed.
Even if Zhou Cheng xian ran as fast as possible, he was still bitten off, half his body swallowed, leaving only the lower half to flee for his life.
But the next second, his lower half also exploded.
At some point, Lu Ming had appeared, delivering a black hole fist that blasted him, and then devoured him whole.
In that moment, this area instantly became completely clean.
With no trace of Zhou Chengxian left.
