Chapter 146: Identity Exposed
Lu Xueqi looked at Wang Baobao before her. A trace of surprise flashed through her eyes, but there was not the slightest hint of fear.
After all, although Wang Baobao’s strength had increased dramatically after being reinforced once more, he was still far from Lu Xueqi’s limits.
Having comprehended the power of laws, every move Lu Xueqi made possessed immense might, far surpassing her actual combat strength and greatly exceeding her current realm.
Xiong Ba and the others beside Lu Xueqi looked at the fully transformed Wang Baobao with extremely grave expressions.
They could no longer sense Wang Baobao’s aura at all—this was the result of an overwhelming disparity in strength.
As long as Wang Baobao did not deliberately release his presence, in their spiritual perception he was as if nonexistent. Only by looking directly with their eyes could they discover his figure.
If Wang Baobao wished to launch a sneak attack on Xiong Ba and the others, it would take almost no effort at all.
Xiao Yan cast a grave glance at Wang Baobao, then turned to ask Lu Xueqi, “Miss Lu, are you confident you can deal with Wang Baobao?”
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already made a decision in secret: if even Lu Xueqi was not confident, he would prepare to flee.
As group members from other worlds, they would help within their capabilities in Zhang Sanfeng’s world, but once things exceeded their limits, they would choose to leave for the sake of their lives.
Lu Xueqi nodded calmly. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Hearing this, many of the group members felt a little more at ease.
Over a long period of time, Lu Xueqi’s performance had earned their complete trust. Since she said there was no problem, then there truly was no problem.
Wang Baobao coldly swept his gaze across the crowd. His eyes lingered on the others only briefly before finally locking onto Lu Xueqi.
Earlier, when Lu Xueqi had addressed Zhang Sanfeng and the others as “group members,” Wang Baobao had overheard it.
From this, he boldly inferred that Lu Xueqi and the others were very likely not natives of this world.
After all, in the late-Yuan-era 倚天 world, although Zhang Sanfeng was powerful, he should not have been so difficult to deal with.
What was more, there were experts even stronger than Zhang Sanfeng, capable of using spacetime techniques. This inevitably aroused his suspicion.
Wang Baobao spoke coldly, “You’re not from this world, are you?”
After hearing Wang Baobao’s question, Lu Xueqi calmly nodded. “That’s right. I’m not from this world. You should already have some guesses about our origins.”
Wang Baobao also nodded. “I didn’t expect that aside from me having a system cheat, there would actually be people in this world who possessed a chat group. That really is beyond my expectations.
“The one in this world who owns the chat group should be Zhang Sanfeng, right?”
Zhang Sanfeng immediately stepped forward. “That is correct. It is indeed this poor Daoist.”
After confirming this, Wang Baobao’s expression grew even colder as he turned his gaze to Xiong Ba and the others. “Aren’t you going to introduce yourselves?”
Out of respect for the strong, Xiong Ba stepped forward first. “This old man is Xiong Ba, leader of the Tianxia Society.”
Wang Baobao nodded upon hearing this. “So it’s Leader Xiong from the Storm World.”
Xiong Ba was surprised. “You know me?”
Wang Baobao said frankly, “You should have already guessed my identity as well. I am a Transmigrator, so naturally I know your information.”
After that, the others also introduced themselves one after another.
Wang Baobao did not pay much attention to those from the martial arts worlds, but when he heard Xiao Yan introduce himself, he could not help but be startled, as Xiao Yan came from a fantasy world.
In Xiao Yan’s world, experts were as numerous as clouds. Dou Zun– and Dou Sheng–level powerhouses could shatter the void and open up space, possessing terrifying might.
However, after sensing Xiao Yan’s current strength, Wang Baobao let out a sigh of relief.
Although Xiao Yan was strong now, he had not yet fully matured and was still within a range Wang Baobao could handle.
Wang Baobao then looked at Lu Xueqi again, his expression becoming solemn. Among all these people, the only one who could truly pose a threat to him was Lu Xueqi.
“May I know your name?”
Lu Xueqi said calmly, “Lu Xueqi of Qingyun.”
Wang Baobao paused slightly, carefully examining her attire and appearance. “So you’re Lu Xueqi of the Qingyun Sect from the Zhuxian world. But how did your strength become so terrifying?”
Lu Xueqi replied indifferently, “Just some fortuitous encounters.”
After confirming everyone’s identities, Wang Baobao’s tone grew colder. “Originally, I had no grudge against you. But today, you have injured me again and again. I cannot simply let this go. So today, you should all go and die!”
As his words fell, he waved his right hand. A terrifying blood-colored energy erupted forth, transforming into a gigantic palm that blotted out the sky as it grabbed toward Lu Xueqi and the others.
Lu Xueqi narrowed her eyes slightly and questioned coldly, “What gave you such confidence, making you think you can defeat me?”
With a slash of her right hand, a sword qi formed from spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and instantly rushed to meet the blood-colored giant palm.
With a deafening boom, the sword light instantly cleaved apart the giant palm, its remaining force unabated as it continued toward Wang Baobao.
A flash of astonishment passed through Wang Baobao’s eyes.
That attack had been made casually, yet it was even stronger than his all-out strike before absorbing the blood river. He had not expected it to be so easily broken by Lu Xueqi.
This made him take Lu Xueqi even more seriously. He had originally thought that after his transformation, his strength surpassed hers, but now it seemed that was not the case.
However, Wang Baobao had no intention of stopping. Lu Xueqi and the others had forced him into desperate situations time and again. He absolutely had to avenge this hatred, or else a heart demon would inevitably arise in the future.
Facing the sword qi slashing toward him, Wang Baobao’s blood energy rapidly condensed, forming a massive blood-colored skull in front of him.
When the sword light approached, the blood-colored skull roiled violently, transforming into a towering blood curtain that completely enveloped him.
Immediately afterward, the skull actually swallowed the sword light in one bite. As soon as the sword light entered the blood-colored river, it dissipated under countless streams of blood energy, vanishing without a trace, as if this blood river contained extremely powerful corrosive force.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi’s heart tightened slightly.
At this moment, Wang Baobao’s voice rang out from within the blood-colored skull. “Lu Xueqi, your strength is indeed formidable, and your spacetime techniques are sufficiently bizarre.
“But now that I am hidden within the blood river, how are you going to use spacetime power against me?
“As long as you can’t find my true body, your spacetime power is nothing but empty talk!”
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi finally understood Wang Baobao’s intention in hiding his true body within the blood-colored skull.
She probed with her divine sense, only to discover that Wang Baobao’s aura permeated the entire skull.
His soul seemed to have fused into every single drop of blood.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi instead let out a cold laugh. “Wang Baobao, do you really think that was all my strength just now? I was merely playing around. Since you’re bent on seeking death, I’ll grant your wish!”
As her words fell, her figure flashed, appearing not far from the blood-colored skull.
With a wave of her right hand, the Tianyao Divine Sword manifested once more.
Lu Xueqi raised the sword toward the heavens and chanted, “Nine Heavens Profound Realm, transform into divine thunder. Vast heavenly might, drawn forth by the sword!”
This was precisely the supreme technique of the Qingyun Sect—the Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art.
In an instant, thunder exploded across the sky. Countless bolts of lightning transformed into thunder dragons, surging toward her from all directions.
Seeing Lu Xueqi unleash such a supreme technique, Wang Baobao’s expression changed drastically, and tension rose in his heart.
Even so, he still had confidence in his blood river.
This blood river gathered the power of tens of thousands of living beings, its might boundless. He did not believe that Lu Xueqi could destroy it in a single strike.
