Exploding God

Chapter 1153 You're a spearman, right?

What is a surprise!

What does "exciting" mean?

The mere half-sentence, "Old dog Tantai," froze everyone present.

The second half of the sentence, "Now that you have seen the true deity, why not pay homage?", is another example.

How domineering that statement is!

Regardless of the reaction of Tantai Zhongyi's group, Song Tianhua's mouth remained open ever since he heard Lu Ze's words.

This is too much...

I'm afraid I'll become mortal enemies with Tantai Zhongyi today.

……

"Hahaha--"

A burst of unrestrained laughter rang out across the wilderness. Hundreds of people looked over and saw Tantai Zhongyi with cold eyes. He stopped laughing and turned around completely to stare at Lu Ze.

However, his indifferent gaze was as if he were looking at a dead person.

"I have traversed the Mist Plains for sixty years and have seen countless geniuses, but you are the first to dare to speak to me like this. For this alone, you have no regrets in this life."

The elder spoke in a very calm voice, as if stating a fait accompli.

"Elder, please do not be angry. Please allow me to capture this beast for you." A figure stepped forward, bowed slightly, and his cloak slipped down to reveal long hair tied behind his head and a blue brocade robe.

He was tall and straight, with a slightly weathered face, and most noticeably, he was missing half of his left ear.

"hiss--"

"It's that madman... the madman who single-handedly hunted down the 11-star behemoth, the Mountain-Shattering Python, only to lose half an ear!"

"—Qin Xianji!"

"He had always worn a cloak and remained silent, thus hiding himself until now."

Perhaps it was Qin Xianji's sudden appearance that made the other families realize that the Tantai family did not only have one Grand Elder. Even without a Grand Elder, the Tantai family was a behemoth capable of matching the Zhao family in martial prowess.

……

Tantai Zhongyi slightly raised his chin, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble, Qin Gongfeng."

In his view, Qin Xianji was pragmatic; if he were to personally intervene at the slightest disagreement, it would be beneath his dignity as the Grand Elder.

There was another reason he made that promise: he wanted Song Tianhua to see—

Even the powerful backer that the Song family had staked their entire clan on couldn't compare to a single retainer from the Tantai family.

Since your Song family has chosen to live in seclusion, you should simply stay in the mountains and forests and focus on planting trees and growing flowers!

The world is too complicated; you, Song Tianhua, can't handle it.

……

Having received permission, Qin Xianji clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned around, his gaze sweeping across hundreds of meters to calmly look at Lu Ze, and spoke indifferently:

"Young man, you must understand that there are some things you can do in this world, but some things you cannot say carelessly."

"Because if I speak out, I might... die!"

The last two words landed with endless chilling intent. Qin Xianji's body first moved without wind, then the air distorted, and then a large wave of air surged up, which in the next instant transformed into a thousand spears that rose into the sky.

Qin Xianji himself bent his knees slightly, and with a boom, he soared into the air with astonishing force.

He stood indifferently high in the sky, looking down. Bright blue aura spread from the soles of his feet, like a drop of ink falling into water and staining the paper.

This bright and clear azure aura alone was enough to overwhelm 90% of the people present, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

The title of "martial arts fanatic"...

How could one merely display a strength far surpassing that of others!

As expected, when the azure energy covered his entire body, Qin Xianji stretched out his right arm and let out a loud shout that resounded throughout the heavens and earth:

"Cliffside, bring the gun!"

A cold glint appeared first, followed by what seemed like a dragon's roar echoing in all directions.

Everyone watched in shock as the beam of light tore through a hundred-meter-long silver streak and landed directly in Qin Xianji's hand.

A long spear, its entire body gleaming with a cold, silvery light, was revealed. The blood grooves on the spearhead and the rustling white tassels exuded a chilling killing intent.

goooo...

Someone swallowed hard, suppressing their shock, and murmured the phrase that had been passed down among countless masters.

[The key to victory lies here; there is no equal to it, no matter where you are in the world.]

Just like that brave and fearless general! With the same Cliff-Corner Spear, and the same invincible spirit, Qin Xianji established his illustrious reputation with this Cliff-Corner Spear that possessed the ability to fight like a fog soldier!

As for the abilities of that Cliff Edge Spear in its fog-soldier-like nature, no one knew before today, because those who did know were all dead.

And today, these people are finally going to witness it with their own eyes.

"Remember the one who captured you today, Qin Xianji, Twelfth Star Realm, Typhoon Level."

Qin Xianji's tone was devoid of sarcasm, mockery, or condescension; he was simply stating a predictable outcome, one that had occurred many times over the years.

After saying that, he didn't wait for Lu Ze to speak, and then, holding the gun in one arm, he thrust it downwards.

The once calm sky suddenly seemed to be engulfed by a raging torrent!

Hurricane, dark clouds, sudden rain.

Strange phenomena arose between heaven and earth; Qin Xianji's spear carried the power of heaven and earth.

The shock of those around them reached its peak at this moment!

Because everyone saw the spherical force field covering a hundred meters around him, within which wind and rain naturally formed.

That is--

field!

……

Song Tianhua stepped forward. If the Song family was being trampled on and he didn't take action, he, as the current head of the family, might as well commit suicide to atone for his sins!

But he had only moved half a body length away when he was stopped by a soft whisper.

"You wait here, I'll go and say a few words to him. Today, I, Lu Ze, will persuade him with reason."

Song Tianhua turned around in surprise, only to see Mr. Lu walking out with a sunny expression, looking up at the sky.

Song Tianhua blinked. For a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating. Was that gentle question really coming from Mr. Lu? Although there was nothing wrong with the content, something just felt off.

"You're armed, so you're a rifleman, right?"

Lu Ze was polite; even before taking action, he would ask questions gently. He narrowed his eyes, watching Qin Xianji approaching from the sky with astonishing power.

Yes, the other side definitely has a long spear.

The attacks were all made in an instant, but Qin Xianji didn't care at all. The cold light in his hand actually dragged a dragon shadow between heaven and earth, with the dragon's head being the tip of the spear, which rushed straight towards the figure below who seemed to be walking slowly but was actually moving fast.

Regardless of the opponent's trump cards or skill level, given their current state of complete unpreparedness, all their backup plans are too late, and the consequence of being too late is either death or serious injury.

The spearhead struck the ground with a fierce thud, the sounds of wind and rain merging into one, and the dark clouds fell like millions of tons of black water.

Those who were standing at the front instinctively stepped back.

--boom!

A powerful sonic boom erupted, transforming into shockwaves that swept indiscriminately in all directions.

On Tantai Zhongyi's side, there was no need for him to take action at all. The experts from the various families accompanying him acted simultaneously and stopped the shockwave.

On Song Tianhua's side, before he and the Song family warriors who had arrived behind him could make a move, the storm clouds that had swept across the area mysteriously stopped, and then... gradually receded!

Song Tianhua's pupils contracted.

That's right!

The dark clouds were slowly retreating, and the strong sense of incongruity was like a video playing in reverse.

"Master has made a move." The girl's confident voice rang out, because she, who cultivated the [Ten Absolute Martial Arts], had just sensed the martial arts aura of the same origin.

This not only shows that the master made a move, but also that he used the [Ten Absolute Martial Techniques]!

This small discovery immediately excited the girl; she clenched her fists and stared intently into the dark clouds.

Master said that the Ten Ultimate Martial Arts embody the spirit of dominance over the world.

Not to mention her master's style, even she herself, once she uses it, it will inevitably draw blood.

……

Ok?

Qin Xianji's eyes sharpened in the sky. He spread his fingers, and a silver light shot back from the dark clouds, falling back into his palm.

As the mist on the cliff-corner gun slowly dissipated, Qin Xianji's gaze became somewhat solemn.

Retreat three meters, five meters, ten meters...

The dark clouds that should have spread were thus inexplicably drawn back, compressed, and dissipated... and the view gradually cleared.

There stood a figure on the ground, seemingly unaffected by the wind or clouds; it was none other than Lu Ze, who had appeared in the center at some unknown time.

The area within three meters of Lu Ze's feet remained completely undamaged, while a vast and enormous depression extended outwards for about a hundred meters beyond those three meters!

Lu Ze himself stood calmly, his eyelids lowered, his hands constantly squeezing and clasping together.

He pressed the dark clouds, one by one, piece by piece, into his palm, forming a thick, inky fog that darted left and right but was always confined within that area.

Everyone was horrified!

Even Tantai Zhongyi, whose eyes were originally half-closed, opened them slightly.

……

Lu Ze looked at his palms and saw that in such a short time, the dark clouds heading towards Song Tianhua had been completely gathered. He kept his hands clasped together, looked up and calmly said, "So, you really are a spearman."

Looking at the other party's nonchalant demeanor, Qin Xianji felt a sudden surge of anger and even a sense of shame and annoyance.

"So what if it is!?"

"That's it. No wonder I had bad luck."

Lu Ze smiled, revealing his white teeth.

Hahaha, I'm fully recovered!
