Chapter 147: Co-Master of the World
Lu Xueqi completed the execution of her hand seals and suddenly swung her sword downward.
Thunder roared, lightning dragons surged forth. A silver-white thunder dragon, carrying the might to destroy heaven and earth, charged straight toward Wang Baobao.
“Boom!” The deafening explosion shook the heavens as the silver thunder dragon collided violently with the Blood River.
Space twisted and shattered, the surrounding ground collapsed, towering trees were reduced to powder, and an area of several hundred meters was engulfed in lightning.
A shrill scream rang out from within the lightning. The moment Lu Xueqi heard it, she knew it came from Wang Baobao, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.
When the thunder finally dispersed, Lu Xueqi focused her gaze and saw that Wang Baobao’s blood-colored skeleton had already been mostly vaporized.
However, Wang Baobao had not died. Within a small blood-red skeleton, his face was deathly pale as he stared at Lu Xueqi with terror-filled eyes.
The terrifying power of that strike had far exceeded his imagination. More than half of the Blood River had instantly dissipated, filling his heart with fear and leaving him with only one thought—to flee immediately.
After barely withstanding that blow, Wang Baobao lost all courage. He shot Lu Xueqi a vicious glare, then transformed into a streak of blood light and fled toward the distance.
He knew very clearly that if he were struck by Lu Xueqi one more time, death would be inevitable.
Lu Xueqi watched Wang Baobao’s fleeing figure with undisguised disdain in her eyes.
Before someone who had mastered the power of time and space, attempting to escape was nothing but a foolish dream.
She did not give chase immediately, but instead murmured softly, “I’ll let you run for half a minute first.”
With that, Lu Xueqi circulated the All-Heavens Divine Thunder technique, and terrifying golden lightning exploded into being.
She also fused a trace of the Law of Death into it, causing pitch-black patterns to spread across the surface of the lightning, making its power even greater than before.
After fleeing some distance, Wang Baobao noticed that Lu Xueqi was not pursuing him and finally let out a breath of relief.
Hatred flashed through his eyes as he clenched his teeth and muttered, “Lu Xueqi, Zhang Sanfeng, just you wait! Once my strength grows further, I will surely reclaim today’s humiliation!”
However, just as he was about to continue fleeing, a massive spacetime vortex suddenly appeared in the void ahead.
A bolt of golden lightning tinged with pitch-black radiance blasted out from within, shooting straight toward Wang Baobao.
The instant Wang Baobao saw that golden lightning, his face turned deathly pale. He felt the threat of death bearing down upon him.
He frantically attempted to cast a secret technique to escape, but the lightning was far too fast. Before the technique could take shape, he was struck by the thunder.
A piercing scream rang out as the Blood River surrounding Wang Baobao was instantly evaporated by the golden lightning, and the terrifying power struck directly at his true body.
He barely had time to let out a terrified cry before he was reduced to a charred remnant and killed on the spot by Lu Xueqi.
After Wang Baobao’s death, a faintly dark-glowing orb of light separated from his body and shot rapidly into the void.
A ripple of spatial fluctuation flashed by, and the orb instantly vanished from this world.
This was precisely Wang Baobao’s system.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, it fled this world immediately after its host’s death, preparing to search for its next host.
After all, with the appearance of beings like Lu Xueqi and Zhang Sanfeng—who possessed chat group cheat abilities—this world was no longer suitable for it to continue developing.
After Wang Baobao was killed, Lu Xueqi, who was still on Wudang Mountain, clearly sensed the disappearance of Wang Baobao’s aura.
She also keenly perceived the escape of that final orb of light.
However, system power was extremely strange, and for those systems that still retained powerful origins, even Lu Xueqi was not confident she could keep them behind.
Thus, she paid no mind to the departure of that orb of light.
Zhang Sanfeng and the others, whose strength was slightly inferior, were unaware of the orb’s escape.
When Zhang Sanfeng first saw Wang Baobao flee, he was somewhat surprised.
But after witnessing Lu Xueqi take action, a trace of anticipation arose in his heart.
He then looked toward Lu Xueqi and asked, “Miss Lu, what became of that Wang Baobao?”
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Xueqi’s face as she replied, “True Man Zhang, rest assured. I have already taken care of Wang Baobao for you. That system also seems to have fled this world, so you need not worry.”
After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng could not help but let out a sigh of relief, then said, “Many thanks, Miss Lu.”
Lu Xueqi waved her hand and said, “There’s no need to be so courteous.”
As Lu Xueqi and Zhang Sanfeng’s words fell, a burst of cheers immediately erupted across Wudang Mountain.
After all, today’s events had far exceeded the expectations of Song Yuanqiao and the others.
First, the five major sects and many smaller factions had forced Wudang Mountain to hand over Fifth Junior Brother.
At the critical moment, Zhang Sanfeng stepped forward and single-handedly resisted the five major sects.
Afterward, the five major sects and numerous smaller factions were wiped out by the Yuan court.
Finally, the Yuan court’s army even attacked Wudang Mountain itself. The heir of the Ruyang Prince displayed overwhelming might and engaged Zhang Sanfeng in a great battle.
In the end, Lu Xueqi turned the tide and slew the invading enemy. (For exhilarating action, go online!)
Everything that had happened today felt like a myth, leaving everyone utterly shaken.
When had they ever witnessed such godlike feats?
Controlling thunder, piercing through the void—these were completely the methods of immortals from legends.
Thinking of this, the gazes of the many Wudang disciples toward Lu Xueqi were filled with reverence.
They had long since regarded Lu Xueqi as a celestial fairy from the heavens.
They had never imagined that their own master would have ties with such a heavenly immortal.
This, in turn, made them respect Zhang Sanfeng even more.
Sensing the change in the gazes of everyone on Wudang Mountain, Lu Xueqi showed no reaction at all.
She then said, “True Man Zhang, now that the enemies have been eliminated, will your centennial birthday banquet still be held?”
Zhang Sanfeng immediately burst into hearty laughter and said, “Of course—it will continue!”
He then turned to Song Yuanqiao and said, “Yuanqiao, go and oversee the birthday banquet. As for the mountain gate and the various sects below the mountain, also send disciples to inform the other sects and arrange for repairs.”
Song Yuanqiao immediately cupped his hands and replied, “Yes, Master!”
He then went off to make the arrangements.
Afterward, Zhang Sanfeng led Lu Xueqi and the others back into the Purple Cloud Hall, where they resumed feasting together.
After some time had passed, Lu Xueqi felt that the timing was about right and asked, “True Man Zhang, what do you plan to do next?”
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng furrowed his brows in thought and said, “Next, I plan to directly overthrow the Yuan court’s rule and restore the empire of the Han people.”
Lu Xueqi nodded in agreement and said, “Then does True Man Zhang have a concrete plan?”
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, “With this old Daoist’s strength, annihilating all the Yuan court’s experts—even the Yuan emperor himself—would not be difficult.
However, this world lacks someone capable of governing the realm, so at present, this old Daoist is still hesitating over whom to choose as the ruler of this world.”
Lu Xueqi did not offer any suggestion after hearing this.
