Chapter 519: Open, the Sea of Chi!
As Lu Shu was battling the blood dragon, he momentarily fell silent. He guessed that out of all the people here, some were his comrades from the Heavenly Network. He never thought that he would have to say goodbye to them just after meeting them.
This was perhaps the reason why Lu Shu felt touched when he had made his vow then. Long live willpower!
He had come to where he was now by a strange combination of circumstances. The blood formation had been formed. He understood that he would probably not be able to escape. The sea of chi was already within his sight.
But Lu Shu felt no remorse. All the moments from his 17 years of living appeared before his eyes. They were like the pages of a book continuously flipping in the warm breeze under the afternoon sun. The pages stopped flipping and all that was left were two unyielding words on the last page. Live On.The moment Takashima had almost broken through Class A, Lu Shu rode the golden dragon and rushed towards Takashima like a madman. As the blood dragon was about to kill Lu Shu, spears appeared from his hands and bombed the dragon like artillery shells.
The twelve spears rapidly and brazenly attacked it. Lu Shu knew that he was not worthy of being Takashima’s opponent, but he could not allow him to successfully advance to Class A, if he did, then Liu Xiu would have died for nothing.
Besides, who said that he would definitely die?
Lu Shu’s eyes reddened. His expression was filled with madness!
“I still want to… go back and see Xiaoyu.” Lu Shu’s twelve spears broke one after another after striking the blood dragon. The roar of weapons did not cease. Even Takashima’s face turned pale as a result of the sound.
But Lu Shu used these twelve spears to forcibly open up an escape route!
The mystical water surged forward like a dragon. Takashima sat quietly among the blood formation, coldly looking at Lu Shu. “Do you really think that you can injure me? Wait till I finish the sacrifice. That will be your time of death.”The blood-coloured wires twisted like a thread. Suddenly, the blood formation wrapped Takashima in a giant red cocoon. Then, the golden dragon and the blood cocoon clashed. The Corpsedog hidden within the golden dragon emerged with a roar!
Lu Shu knew that it was too late for him to open the sea of chi and he gave up on this idea. He had to use his strongest attack to open this blood cocoon! Lu Shu had just realised that throughout the entire ritual, Takashima was immobile!
Takashima also did not think that this collision would result in an unforeseen event. The Corpsedog passed through the blood cocoon and came in front of Takashima. Takashima suddenly raised his hand. His hand, that was usually of normal complexion, was suddenly wrapped in countless bloody threads. This bloody hand forcibly sent the Corpsedog flying.
Takashima was not in a good condition either. It seemed like he had exerted too much energy. He grabbed the three subordinates standing by the blood formation with his bloody hand and dragged them in the formation as sacrifice.
Lu Shu shouted in rage. “Die!”
The Concealed Arrow that had been hidden in the celestial map flew out with a roar. It caused a huge explosion between Lu Shu and Takashima!
Takashima did not expect Lu Shu to have more tricks. This flying sword had two blades! Didn’t the flying swords from the Heavenly Network only have one blade?!
Even as Takashima was about to advance to Class A, he could not help but to dodge the Concealed Arrow. If he did not do so, he would suffer from fatal injuries! The Concealed Arrow scraped his rib, leaving a tiny blood stain.
The blood cocoon shook. Takashima’s actions were too large. Lu Shu’s desperate combat was an attempt to make him suffer defeat when victory was within his reach!
“Are you trying to die!?!” Takashima was burning with fury. The ritual had been interrupted on the boundary between Class A and Class B!
He was not able to advance to Class A even after consuming so many lives and magical stones. Great waves surged from the blood formation and went in Lu Shu’s direction. The members of the Collection of Gods who had been in the formation were all dead.
It was too late for him to dodge. Lu Shu used his mystic water and Spirit Qi to protect himself. He put his arms in front of him to resist the ghostly aura.
The reason he was able to injure Takashima then was because Takashima had to fully absorb the results of the sacrifice before he could successfully break through. The Takashima now had seemingly broken his shackles. He now had no apprehension.
With a roar, Lu Shu was thrown to the ground. He suddenly felt as if his entire skeleton was filled with cracks. There was a cracking sound between his bones. His internal organs started to bleed. Even his appearance had returned to its original state. He no longer had the energy to keep up his disguise.
Lu Shu suddenly realised that Takashima was levitating. This was the sign of a Class A, he had achieved resonance with heaven and earth, and was free from the Earth’s gravitational force!
Lu Shu could not move his entire body, yet he laughed as he coughed out blood. “You have not successfully advanced.”
Lu Shu had sensed that although Takashima’s waves of power was 30% stronger than Nogiwa Takenobu at his peak, he was still far away from the likes of Nie Ting, Chen Baili and Li Xianyi!
Although he had not been able to kill his opponent, he had been able to stop his opponent from advancement with his abilities as a Class C! The mystical water flowed back to the Seal of Lands. The two blades also flew back to the celestial map. Lu Shu felt some remorse. It looks like he would no longer be able to accompany Xiaoyu…
The Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow silently sharpened the sea of chi. Lu Shu had never been one to easily surrender. Even if he was about to die the next moment, he would do all he could in this one second to find a thin thread of hope.
The enclosing wall of the fortress collapsed with a loud crash. A girl with platinum hair emerged from the smoke, holding a thunderbolt. Her appearance remained fine, but there was some dust and traces of blood on her face.
The knight puppets had been injured in the battle. They returned to the marks on her hands, using her abilities to regain their strength. After killing for so long, she was also slightly exhausted.
The girl inside the enclosing wall was in a difficult position.
The ruins outside the wall were filled with corpses.
Coral looked at the young man on the floor. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy. “Lu Shu… is that you?”
Her voice carried a hint of disbelief. There was still a ray of hope in this darkness!
Lu Shu flashed an ugly grin. “… kill this old kid before talking about the past…”
The thunderbolt in Coral’s hand shone brightly. The Gungnir cast swift bolts of sudden thunder. The levitating Takashima launched four massive dragons in the direction of the Gungnir.
But he had underestimated the Gungnir. The weapon of the Master of Gods, Odin, cut through the dragons as if transversing the river of time.
The brightly shining Gungnir sliced through each of the blood dragons. Coral suddenly generated power and ran wildly. The ground of the fortress cracked under her feet. She followed closely behind the Gungnir with unparalleled power. Her eyes were filled with thunderbolts!
Coral was much more formidable than Takashima now. Lu Shu was at her feet. She would be willing to rush to her death if it was for Lu Shu’s sake.
At this very moment, there was suddenly the ring and tremble of swords within three kilometres radius from Lu Shu. The invisible swords from the inner walls of the fortress started to crisscross and splash in all directions!
The originally smooth wall had been mottled with sword marks.
Zing! A neat trace of blood appeared on Takashima’s face. It seemed like an invisible sword had carelessly scraped past!
