Chapter 119
He was not prepared for this.
The Earth Spirit Rock turtle shield, which had just blocked the water cloud horse’s illusory body collision technique, could not turn around in time to block Lu mingchao, who had suddenly appeared behind him. Even though the sword pellets that he had scattered had already returned to his aid under his control, it was already too late.
Lu mingchao would never let go of such a good opportunity.
She rushed toward Zhao Pingliang, holding the ‘cloud-treading flying sword’ tightly and pouring all her spiritual power into it.
The cloud-treading flying sword was activated, and the nature of the flying sword was also displayed. Ming Chao, who was already in front of Zhao Pingliang, turned into a Flying Cloud and appeared in front of him in an instant.
At that moment, Zhao Pingliang only had time to do one thing: He activated the zither of the violent trembled soul with all his might and gathered all his strength. He did not even care about Lu xueting, who was almost unable to withstand the torture of his zither music. He attacked Lu mingchao with all his strength.
Lu Qing, who was in mid-air, could instantly tell that Zhao Pingliang’s response was correct. He did have a level three talisman in his hand, but because it was a level three talisman, Zhao Pingliang would have to use some strength to activate it. In this battle where victory and defeat were about to be determined in the blink of an eye, he did not have time to do that at all. He could only use the means that he could use immediately to deal with Lu mingchao’s surprise attack.
At that moment, Lu Qing no longer hesitated. The two exchange options took effect immediately.
One was the two-star [ power boost ], and the other was the two-star [ guardian spirit ].
The former ensured that Ming Chao’s attack would take Zhao Pingliang’s life and would not give him a chance to turn the tables. The latter ensured that Lu mingchao would not be affected and would be able to rush in front of Zhao Pingliang.
The two exchange options had the desired effect!
A faint blue shadow suddenly appeared beside Ming Chao. The spiritual energy trembled due to the zither’s melody, but the shadow bore all of it. Zhao Pingliang’s zither music was indeed extraordinary. In just a moment, the two-star Guardian spirit trembled and disappeared.
Zhao Pingliang was in despair. what the hell is this?!
Lu mingchao’s sword arrived.
Her self-sacrificing attack, under the situation where Zhao Pingliang had no other way, ruthlessly pierced into his chest.
Ming Chao was aiming at Zhao Pingliang’s head, but he managed to Dodge it at the last moment. Although he couldn’t stop the ‘cloud-treading flying sword’ from piercing into his head, he managed to avoid his head being split open.
He tried his best to control the wound on his body, and even wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack.
However, the power contained in the ‘cloud-treading flying sword’ was too strong. It had completely exceeded Zhao Pingliang’s expectations.
How could an eighth-tier foundation building cultivator possess such power?
Although the body of a cultivator was naturally weaker than that of a demon or a demonic beast, he should not have done this when he was prepared!
“Remember to kneel down in front of my sister.” Lu mingchao whispered in Zhao Pingliang’s ear.
Zhao Pingliang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood flowed out, making him swallow back his words.
Lu mingchao did not want to hear another word from him. She activated her spiritual power and poured it into Zhao Pingliang’s body through the cloud-treading flying sword.
Zhao Pingliang was like a water balloon that had been punctured from the inside. Blood spurted out from all parts of his body.
Lu mingchao pulled her sword out, and the man’s body exploded on the spot. Blood splattered everywhere. Only his head was still intact under Lu mingchao’s intentional protection.
Lu mingchao lifted her head and looked at xueting.
The situation was good. The music had caused her some damage, but it had only been a short time, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Then, her gaze shifted to Zhao pingsong, who was standing in the middle of the small courtyard. His entire body was covered in Scarlet spots from the blood that had spurted out.
This person who had been in charge of the Zhao clan for almost twenty years in Pingyao was now dumbfounded. He stood in his original spot in a daze.
Zhao pingsong had thought that the two sides would at most have a chat, and that their words would be more intense. As far as he knew, the Zhao clan was not ready to make a move against the Lu clan. The Zhao clan had suffered heavy losses in the battle of the northern border a year ago. It was not appropriate for them to start a war again in the short term.
Similarly, based on his long-term contact with the Lu clan in Pingyao over the years, the Lu clan would gradually start to fight for benefits after Lu chaoxi’s enlightenment. However, Lu chaoxi had just been enlightened not long ago. The Lu clan had two new foundation building cultivators. They would need some time to stabilize their cultivation.
In other words, even though the two families would inevitably have a war in the future with the gradual rise of the Lu family, it should not be in the near future.
However, he had never expected that Lu mingchao and Zhao Pingliang would actually start a life-and-death battle just because they did not agree with each other.
And the one who died was Zhao Pingliang!
This was one of the pillars of the clan, a figure with hope for enlightenment, and he died here? He died at the hands of Lu mingchao?
Wasn’t lu mingchao only at the fourth or fifth level of the foundation building realm a few years ago? How did she kill Zhao Pingliang?
This clan brother of his was a veteran. In the early years, it was rumored that he was preparing to break through to the initial enlightenment stage and was regarded as the next successor to the family and the next clan leader. How did he die Here today? A huge head was right in front of him?
No, the life and death of Yingluo’s clan brother didn’t seem that important anymore. Yingluo, the key now was whether he could live or not?
He was extremely regretful now. When Zhao Ping had revealed himself, he should have slipped away and stood there in a daze. He was going to die.
While praying in her heart that the two fairies would not care about her after the battle, she walked back with small steps.
When Lu Jinchao looked over, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
“Don’t kill me!” He knelt on the ground.
Lu xueting descended from the sky and landed beside him. She looked at her aunt as if she was asking her a question.
“Kill him,” Lu mingchao said.
“Don’t! Uh, hehe.”
Upon hearing her aunt’s words, Lu xueting ignored Zhao pingsong’s pleas for mercy. The wooden vine gourd extended a vine and wrapped it around Zhao pingsong’s neck.
Zhao pingsong still wanted to resist, but he was disintegrated by xueting in minutes and strangled to death.
Even though xueting was injured, she was still a second-tier foundation building cultivator. She had been a little angry because she had not been able to help Ming Chao in the previous battle. Now that she had attacked in anger, Zhao pingsong, an old and frail ninth-stage Qi refining cultivator, was not able to withstand it.
After Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief, Lu xueting asked, ” “Do you still want to continue?”
“Since we’ve already made our move, there’s no need to keep anyone here. Xueting, go to the dungeon and look for Minghai. I’ll kill all the members of the Zhao family in Pingyao now. Come to the family mansion to find me later.”
“Alright,” he said.

He still needed 24 chapters.
Other than No. 1’s 38000-word update, it had also updated about 50000 words in the seven days. That was an average of 7000 words a day!
I really did my best, Yingluo.
