Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 261 Battle of Saints
"Young man, you really are sharp-tongued. But even if you are eloquent today, I must teach you a lesson on behalf of your master."

Lei Zu said calmly.

Lu Ming stared at him without the slightest fear, and said, "This move was used against my senior brothers and sisters in ancient times, wasn't it? If I don't die today, I will definitely seek justice for them one by one in the future."

"Kara!"

Lu Ming had just finished speaking.

Lightning struck down from the sky.

Countless purple branches covered the entire night sky.

An aura of destruction wafted through the air.

It's terrifying.

Lu Ming slowly stood up. This was his dynasty, and no one could possibly restrain him.

The dragon of destiny roared.

Although Lu Ming's territory encompassed three states, none of them were entirely satisfactory.

But it is still extremely terrifying.

This was enough to allow him to remain unrestrained by the saint within his own territory.

"Junior is seeking death!"

Enraged, Lei Zu pointed a finger, and lightning flickered across it, its flashes terrifying.

The target was none other than Lu Ming's head.

They actually wanted to kill them.

But just as he stretched out his finger...

A figure instantly blocked Lu Ming's path.

The sword light gleamed on his fingers.

"boom!"

When the two collided, time seemed to stand still all around.

Not even a fluctuation of energy was emitted.

However, Lu Ming could clearly sense the immense energy within it.

If released, the entire area within a million miles would likely be reduced to ashes.

At this point, the generals of Dayu were finally able to move.

They were armed and on guard all around.

"Sect Master Shangqing, you actually disregarded your teacher's prohibition and fled Golden Light Island without permission. Do you know the consequences of doing so?" Lei Zu's expression changed.

Among all the saints, Shangqing Saint can be ranked among the top three.

That's enough to demonstrate the opponent's strength.

Although Lei Zu is also a saint, he may not be a match for him.

Especially in ancient times, when the sage Shangqing set up the Heavenly Sword Formation, it almost caused the world to be reborn.

If the teacher hadn't intervened, who knows how long the fight would have gone on.

Lei Zu still vividly remembers the scene from back then.

Therefore, nowadays, a person is extremely wary of the Supreme Saint.

"In ancient times, I strictly adhered to the rules, which led to the deaths of my disciples on the battlefield."

Now, you're resorting to your old tricks again, bullying the weak with your superior strength.

Even if it means facing divine punishment today, I will show you what power truly is.

"Let the world know that anyone who dares to bully my disciple again, even if my Holy Realm falls, will make them pay the price!"

The Shangqing Sect Master's body grew taller in an instant.

A golden sword appeared in his palm.

The sharp sword light slashed downwards.

"Kara!"

A thunderous sound reverberated through the air.

Upon landing, space distorted, and the main hall vanished into nothingness in an instant.

Lei Zu sensed the danger and, without hesitation, raised his arm to defend himself.

The mystical light above his head coalesced into a shield.

"boom!"

As the sword fell, cracks appeared on the shield.

With a gust of wind, everyone, including Lu Ming, was blown away.

However, the Shangqing Sect Master clearly took care of them.

They all landed smoothly.

But when you look up into the sky...

They were shocked to discover that, without them noticing, the sky above had been covered by dense sword energy.

The heavy sword light was flying, and there were more and more of them.

It goes without saying how strong Lu Ming and his group are.

Their ability to see how far is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. This demonstrates the immense area covered by the Shangqing Sect Master's attack.

If he plays freely...

The entire Kyushu region will likely be shaken.

At this time, many people began to pay attention to this area.

Powerful figures appeared nearby; a sage taking action—this had never happened since ancient times.

Nuwa wore a long, dark green dress with a flowing, boundless skirt.

The two leaders of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect were bathed in Buddhist light in the night sky, their faces filled with sorrow.

Taiqing Sheng appeared wearing a white robe and carrying a cane. He looked old and frail, but he was the leader of the Nine Saints.

The Jade Purity Sage appeared as a middle-aged man, dignified and solemn.

Feng Zu, dressed in a blue robe, stood in mid-air with no discernible expression.

One of the Spirit Ancestors has not yet arrived.

However, he always appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

Perhaps they are hidden in the shadows.

In short, all these sages had taken action against the Shangqing Sage in ancient times.

There are both overt and covert actions, and it is precisely because of their intervention.

This led to the destruction of the Shangqing Sect that year.

Now, with the emergence of the Shangqing Sect, they have once again come into the spotlight.

The Sage Taiqing said indifferently, "Junior brother, is it worth it to disregard Master's orders for the sake of Lu Ming?"

"Humph!"

The Shangqing Sect Master snorted coldly and remained silent.

With just one sword strike, he had already torn the sleeve of Lei Zu's arm to shreds.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

After years of self-cultivation, the Shangqing Sect Master has become much stronger.

However, right now.

"Kara!"

A bolt of lightning tore through the heavens and struck the Shangqing Sect Master squarely.

Even with his cultivation level, he was unable to withstand it.

Lei Zu smiled and said, "Sage Shangqing, your teacher's punishment has already been handed down. If you don't leave now, it won't just be this little thunderbolt!"

"Kerala!"

Thunderbolts, like a waterfall, fell once more.

Each time, it fell upon the sage of Shangqing.

His entire body was stained purple.

Even though he was a Saint Realm expert.

At this moment, he was also trembling all over. This was no ordinary lightning, but came from the chaos.

"Haha, so what if he dies? He'll at least get revenge for my disciple. When I took him in, it was actually to go against you all and annoy you old rivals. But now, I feel like I was wrong."

Lu Ming is my disciple, the one I value most.

It's not a replacement for anyone, nor is it because of you.

Rather, it's because he's just my apprentice.

"Lei Zu, you've bullied the weak today. If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll all forget the might of my Heavenly Sword."

"boom!"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot hard on the ground.

In an instant, thousands of sword beams shot into the sky.

It radiates a purplish glow.

"Heavenly Sword Formation!" Feng Zu exclaimed, then retreated backward.

At this moment, he cursed inwardly, thinking that this Shangqing Sage was a madman.

For the sake of his disciple, he actually wanted to open the Heavenly Sword Formation. Didn't he know that this formation could destroy the world?

Other sages also fled.

Lei Zu stared at the sword formation, a rare solemn expression on his face.

“Sage Shangqing, it’s not worth it. It’s just for the sake of a junior. I’ll leave now and never fight your disciple again. Let’s all stop.”

Lei Zu spoke softly.

Although the Heavenly Sword Formation could not kill him, the consequences of a battle between the two were something neither of them could afford.

Even a saint cannot bear the punishment from a teacher.

"It's too late. You humiliated my disciple. How can you not remember this if you don't pay the price?"

As he spoke, a fierce sword formation had already enveloped Lei Zu.
