Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
Gao Tianlang raised his head, looking at the golden light that flashed and disappeared in the distance.
“It seems that it really appeared.”
Gao Tianlang was full of emotions.
“Brother, are you fighting for it as well?”
Gao Xiaoqing had some concerns. “I heard that Zhou Yang will be there as well.”
“Since I am here, I have to go take a look.”
Gao Tianlang looked indifferent. “The Lunar Shadow legacy is about to start. If I can subdue this spirit body, perhaps we will have more returns from the legacy!”
Goldfish?
How could it be a goldfish!
If he was right, that thing...
“I am going as well.”
Gao Xiaoqing wanted to go too.
“If you go as well, I won’t be able to protect you.”
Gao Tianlang knitted his eyebrows.
A group of four-star cultivators would be there to fight for the spirit body, as a three-star peak level, she should not join the fight!
Besides, she held an auxiliary profession!
“Don’t worry. They won’t dare to do anything to me.”
Gao Xiaoqing said in a low voice, “Besides, I still have the powerful card that you prepared for me. Didn’t you say that when in danger it would kill four-star instantly? There is nothing to be scared of!”
Brother, let me go.
I also want to accumulate some more experience before the legacy,” Gao Xiaoqing said gently.
“It was good as well.”
Gao Tianlang had the same thought as well.
What was the use of treating his sister like the hothouse flower?
He still remembered what happened last time with the Teleportation Nexus, where numerous bulls charged and trampled, hurting his sister. She took a long time to recuperate, her injuries had barely healed until today. If she had prior experience...
That would not have happened!
It was said that the herd of bulls was not very powerful and given his sister’s ability, she could deal with them easily.
In the end...
It was still due to a lack of experience.
“Okay. Then you must stay close to me.”
Gao Tianlang agreed to her request.
“Okay.”
Gao Xiaoqing nodded.
The two of them walked toward the city.
The spirit body was very special, he had to fight for it!
...
Lu Ming’s head ached.
It was true.
He was well aware of his level and ability.
Therefore, he had no wish to be involved in the spirit body, four-star or any other matters, and he did not expect that the spirit body would drop in front of his house!
No one would believe it!
This was not scientific!
Whose fish would drop from the sky?
“Wow, it’s so cute.”
Xiaobai poked the bubbles, having lots of fun.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Cold lights flickered in the distance.
Although they had not appeared, their powerful auras had already locked on this place as their target. They had kept Lu Ming and Xiaobai within their sight!
Gulp!
The goldfish bubbled again.
Its sparkling eyes locked with Lu Ming’s eyes. Lu Ming sensed its pain and agony.
It was asking for help.
It was hoping that Lu Ming could save it!
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
It was not that he did not want to save it. He was incapable of saving it!
He knew what was going on.
The goldfish might have made use of some ability to escape when met with a crisis. However, it was unlucky to escape to Lu Ming’s place...
What’s the use?!
Lu Ming was only a two-star Card Creator. A group of four-star cultivators was hunting the goldfish down from afar.
“Wouldn’t it be good if you went to a four-star cultivator?”
Lu Ming sighed.
He was too weak.
Gulp!
The goldfish bubbled again.
It was whining.
This was a pure spirit body, streams of lights surged in its body. It seemed to be newly born.
Gulp!
It seemed to want to say something.
At this very moment...
An armed cultivator had arrived.
“Humph!”
He sneered.
He was worried that the goldfish would escape. He hurled his long spear, using lethal moves against them!
A terrifying attack was brewing. The wide-scale attack was launched against the goldfish as well as its surroundings, completely covering the area where Lu Ming and Xiaobai were!
Bang!
There was a loud sound.
The lights of the long spear flickered. In the darkness, it seemed like the legendary dragon with the ability to control rain and floods.
“Be careful!”
Lu Ming’s expression changed, pulling Xiaobai to retreat.
Shush!
The cold lights pierced through their skins.
An icy cold aura enveloped Lu Ming and Xiaobai.
Buzz—
The goldfish did a carp jump. Its long tail flipped onto Lu Ming, throwing Lu Ming and Xiaobai to the side, taking the powerful force from the long spear by itself.
Pfft!
A gust of golden energy spewed into the air.
Gulp!
The goldfish spewed a bubble, turned into gold lights and dissipated.
“Thinking of running away?!”
The cultivator sneered and chased after it.
“Humph!
This guy was one step ahead of us again. Chase him!”
Several other powerful cultivators appeared right after him. They took a look in the far distance and dashed toward the direction that the goldfish had dissipated in.
As for Lu Ming?
Nobody cared!
He was after all a small fry.
Right from the start, no one seemed to have seen him. They only had eyes for the goldfish spirit body that escaped to this place in a panic and left quickly again!
As for the two people...
Oh, they were lucky not to be killed by the goldfish that dropped from the sky!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Those people left right away.
At this very moment...
Lu Ming felt icy cold.
By an inch!
Damn it!
By merely one inch!
If the goldfish did not flick its tail, the two of them would have been dead! The saddest thing was that the young man never looked them in the eye from beginning to end!
This was indeed an unexpected calamity!
Out of nowhere!
A disaster for no reason!
He and Xiaobai were resting at home. No one would have expected that they would be awakened by a goldfish that dropped from the sky and almost killed by the four-star cultivators who passed by?!
Especially—
The expression in their eyes.
Those people disregarded them totally.
Hehe.
These people...
Didn’t they have respect for human life?
He swept his gaze over the back view of those who just left, aloofness in his eyes.
They were after all four-star cultivators. It was nothing serious to kill a man by mistake at the peripheral small city. They could simply apologize and give money as compensation. Nothing would happen to them.
Of course.
If Lu Ming was dead, all these people would be done for! After all, they would not have expected that the man they killed randomly would have a very powerful backer.
However, so what if Lu Yan killed all of them?
What was the point if he was already dead?
These people...
Lu Ming clenched his fists.
Furthermore, given what he did just now, the goldfish still saved him...
Lu Ming turned silent for a while before he asked. “Xiaobai, am I too weak?”
“Not at all.”
Xiaobai was very serious.
“Those baddies...”
“Master, if you don’t like them, I will teach them a lesson!”
Xiaobai waved her small, gentle fists.
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming laughed involuntarily.
He rubbed Xiaobai’s head, speaking softly, “Don’t worry, I will settle this by myself... it’s just too bad that I am small-minded.”
“Master, are you going out?’
Xiaobai was worried.
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming smiled. “There is a fish’s debt to pay.”
“Oh.”
Xiaobai was well-behaved.
“Don’t worry. I will be back shortly.”
Lu Ming smiled.
He tried to pull the security door that was slanted, added several one-star and two-star restrictions before he told Xiaobai to go back to her bedroom to rest.
Lu Ming checked the door.
The surveillance was working fine. No one would dare to make trouble.
At this moment...
It was a mess in front of the shop.
Apart from the security door that was slanted, the cultivators bombed the road in front of the door, creating a pit. Several street lamps by the side had collapsed.
Lu Ming was silent.
He had a serious expression on his face as he put some cards into his card bag.
Well...
He thought for a few seconds.
He carried the big shoulder bag and put the Card Release Machine inside.
He looked up to check the weather.
It was a dark and windy night...
Heh.
...
At this very moment...
The cultivators were all over the city hunting down the goldfish.
They were very powerful and they had located its position based on its aura. There was no way the goldfish could escape. It got slower and slower. According to this speed, it would be captured very soon.
“Humph!”
“Don’t kill anyone from our group!”
“Let’s capture the goldfish first. We can resolve other issues later. If I capture the goldfish, I will reward all of you as well,” the armed young man shouted coldly.
The rest of them agreed. Right now, it was the most stupid act to kill within themselves.
Gulp!
The goldfish kept bubbling.
Faint golden lights surged around it.
The bubbles seemed to be giving it directions, bringing these people in a mad chase, leading them to the far end of the city after a long while.
However, the golden lights became dimmer and dimmer.
It could no longer run anymore.
“It’s dying!”
The cultivators rejoiced.
Finally!
They would be able to catch it!
This damn goldfish, it was quite good at escaping!
It ran all the way from the suburbs to the city, and from the city to the far end of the city. It kept going in circles around Third Ring Road, making them chase after it for multiple laps. Finally, it could no longer move!
Right then...
All of them fixed their gazes on the goldfish. Everyone wanted to be the person who caught the goldfish. They did not mind that they had ended up in a desolate land.
They would go to any place in Qing Ming City just to get the goldfish!
Nothing could stop them!
“I have caught you!” The armed cultivator sneered.
He was the fastest. He was the first to get close to the goldfish. Just when he was about to capture the goldfish, the ground underneath his feet began to tremble slightly.
Click!
One hand reached out from underneath and grabbed his leg.
Well?!
The young man’s heart jumped a beat.
“Get lost!”
He counterattacked with his long spear, powerful energy tore the arm apart and he managed to break free.
However...
He was not alone. Every four-star cultivator that was on the hunt for the goldfish was trapped by a mysterious arm from underneath the ground.
The scene turned chaotic.
“What is this?!”
“Ah, it’s so dirty.”
“Damn, what the hell is this?”
Under the moonlight.
Figures crawled out from the grave, revealing only the upper half of their bodies. It was a terrifying sight.
That place...
They suddenly looked around.
They finally realized where they were.
This... was a cemetery!!!
Ordinary people would already have been scared to death upon realizing where they were. But the cultivators were already used to seeing such scenes and they quickly understood what happened.
“Perhaps the cemetery managed to nourish these spirit bodies?”
Some people sneered.
Bang!
The terrifying power spread in the air.
Four-star cultivators released their powerful auras. The three-star peak level warriors that seemed to be very powerful were killed instantly. They did not even manage to last for one round!
Crash!
Crash!
The energy condensed warriors were sent flying and scattered all over the place.
Right then...
The cemetery was full of all kinds of chaotic auras.
There were the powerful auras released by the four-star cultivators, the cold and chilling aura of the cemetery, as well as the aura formed by the Energy Warriors who were being beheaded.
In the chaotic bursts of energy...
No one gave any notice to a particular person in the cemetery.
Beyond the wall of the cemetery, a figure stood in the dark, watching the scene silently. The cards in his hands dissipated one by one.
Bang!
The warriors were wiped out.
The four-star cultivators were getting ready to leave.
Suddenly...
The ground collapsed.
Another group of Energy Warriors crawled out from beneath the ground.
“There are more to come?!”
Their countenance changed instantly.
Spirit bodies would usually absorb all the surrounding energy before they were born. Under normal circumstances, there would only be the birth of one spirit body in the same area, but over here...
Batches of spirit bodies were being born!
There were already numerous three-star peak level figures that crawled out from the grave previously!
But there were more to come?!
Damn!
This was a cemetery!
This was not a warrior factory!!!
