In the prison.
“Did you capture Lu Yan?”
Wu Hongfei was terrified.
“No.”
Zhang Erliang sneered. “However, someone has exchanged blows with her. Although we didn’t capture her, she was using her own legacy. Hence, the legacy is not with her.”
Shush!
Everyone’s expression changed slightly.
Gao Tianlang and the group glared at Wu Hongfei hatefully, this jinxed mouth...
Wu Hongfei was speechless.
He had forgotten about this.
They knew how to test for the legacy. Of course others also knew how to.
“Furthermore... Do you take me for a fool?”
Zhang Erliang’s had a sullen and gloomy expression. “Will Lu Yan inherit the legacy? Do you think I don’t know why she’s here?? Although our island is backwards, we also have network connections!”
Everyone was silent.
Oh.
So, this place had long been connected to networks...
“Anyway. The legacy is with one of you!
Hehe.
Speak as soon as you can. Everyone will be happier that way, isn’t it?
We won’t kill you. We will worship you, as long as you hand to us the content of the legacy in time and allow all of us to learn them, that will do. How about that?
Otherwise, if we interrogate...”
Zhang Erliang wore a smile on his face. “A few of you have such tender and fragile skin. I’m afraid that it won’t be good. What do you say?”
Everyone looked at each other.
“Whoever has the legacy, speak out please.”
Wu Hongfei sighed.
“I don’t know.”
Wang Xuan shook his head.
“I don’t know too.”
Gao Tianlang smiled bitterly. “It’s really not with me.”
...
“It’s pointless then.”
Zhang Erliang shook his head and gestured to the person beside him. “Get third elder sister to come and see if charm works on them. At the same time, quickly capture those few assistants of theirs, haha...”
“Brother Liang.”
A cultivator suddenly walked to him and said in a low voice, “Something has happened.”
Eh?
Zhang Erliang furrowed his brows tightly and left with that person. Vaguely, they could hear their conversation.
“We discovered a new target.
We don’t know who. They are still investigating...”
“Where is Gao Xiaoqing?”
“She has the Teleportation Nexus and is the most difficult to capture. However, the barrier is still around. She can’t escape from this place.”
“What about Lu Yan?”
“We have just found her now but we can’t beat her... One of the six-stars has been killed.”
The sounds outside the door gradually disappeared.
Wu Hongfei and the group glanced at one another. They also felt astonished.
She was Lu Yan, indeed!
She actually killed a six-star and fled!
This was amazing!
And Gao Xiaoqing...
With the Teleportation Nexus, it could certainly increased her ability to survive tremendously. Coupled with the gains from the Lunar Shadow legacy, she might really be able to persist.
On the premise that...
They would be able to leave the place successfully!
“Everyone, please don’t delay anymore.”
Gao Tianlang narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “I know that all of you have your ways to leave. Stop dawdling. Whoever has the legacy, speak out. What’s the point of hiding it?”
“No.”
Everyone shook their heads.
These guys...
Gao Tianlang felt a little regretful.
He deliberately allowed himself to be captured as he wanted to see who had attained the legacy!
Unexpectedly, these guys were so cunning and petty, refusing to disclose no matter what. At the moment, these people were busy capturing people and their combat abilities were divided. Wasn’t it the best time to do so?!
What were they thinking?!
Gao Tianlang did not understand.
However...
He did not know.
Wu Hongfei, who was beside him, had the same thoughts.
He rubbed the ground with his feet and could sense a surge of energy flowing from his sole to a particular card. Yes... this was the super trump card that he had trained for years!
He could use his leg to cast the energy!
Of course.
He did not tell anyone this!
At the critical moment, he could transfer the energy from his feet to the card and activate the card directly!
He could leave this place at any point in time!
However...
He also wanted to know who had inherited the legacy...
Obviously, he could not count on the Elder Lunar Shadow having a unique taste. The outcome was that he did not inherit the legacy. Hence, he could only allow himself to be captured and seek a chance here.
After all...
That was the legacy!
Wu Hongfei was getting impatient.
He did not believe that these guys could endure it any longer!
By the side.
Zhao Yunshan’s gaze was cold and aloof.
He gritted his teeth, one tooth was already wobbling. That was another trump card that he had hidden. Hence, he was confident that he could leave after being caught.
However...
Where was the legacy?!
He had to know where the legacy was!
No one dared to make a move at the legacy site but here...
If he knew who had taken the legacy, perhaps he could fight for it. Even if accidents were to happen, these people would be the scapegoats, wasn’t that so?
However, the problem now was... He did not even know who had inherited the legacy!
Gao Tianlang?
Wang Xuan?
Or perhaps that four-star Swordsman?
Everyone focused their gaze.
...
At this very moment...
On the island, the cultivators were still chasing and searching.
After a period of hard work, they had captured most of the inheritors but not any of the assistants... Somehow, they could not figure out why...
These assistants were that good at escaping!
Forget about Niu Xinghai, even Gao Xiaoqing could flee so quickly!
They could not even catch up with her!
Array Master...
Was this profession supposed to be like that?
However, they had discovered a weak aura earlier and had found its location!
“We found it.”
“Who is that?”
“It may be Lu Ming!”
“What?”
Everyone’s pupils constricted greatly.
Lu Ming?!
That guy...
Shush!
They raised the alarm without any hesitation.
Really.
Be it Niu Xinghai or that six-star Elementalist, they were confident in fighting them. However, they had no confidence about beating this Lu Ming at all!
This was the only person who had such destructive powers.
Very soon...
Zhang Erliang rushed over.
This was because he was the most suitable person to deal with Lu Ming.
“Capture him first!
His secrets are not any lesser than the Lunar Shadow legacy!
Also...
He is the key to controlling Lu Yan.”
Zhang Erliang said in a low voice, “The six-stars can go and aid the rest, it’s useless for you to be here. Lu Ming’s combat style is strange and mysterious. He doesn’t need to compete based on abilities.”
Very soon...
He brought over ten four-star cultivators and headed out.
In normal circumstances, four-star already belonged to the ‘powerful’ category.
It was enough as long as they could kill Lu Ming in seconds!
“Be more careful.”
If you encounter Lu Yan, simply run away!” Zhang Erliang instructed.
“Understood.”
Everyone was very vigilant.
The target venue was a forest.
This was one of the trail places for the Land of Legacy.
Of course.
The legacy rules were no longer present and this was an ordinary place now. Earlier on, they detected sudden lights, shadows, and an aura surging here.
Was Lu Ming really here?
“Be more careful.”
Everyone was on their guard.
Shush!
Zhang Erliang stepped onto the ground quietly without a sound.
Buzz—
Buzz—
He strengthened the ground structure constantly.
He was aware of Lu Ming’s tactics and knew Lu Ming’s trump card. Hence, he did not give Lu Ming any chance and would not allow him to demolish anything!
Where I, Zhang Erliang, am around, you will have nothing to demolish!
At a distance away.
Some lights and shadows were vaguely visible.
Eh?
Zhang Erliang was somewhat shocked.
This was because Lu Ming was actually lying down behind that forest.
This chap...
Everyone glanced at and faced each other.
He had collapsed?
The most powerful big shot in their eyes was lying on the roadside and waiting for people to pick up his corpse?
Hehe.
It must be some devious trap!
“Be more careful,” Zhang Erliang warned.
Hence...
Over ten cultivators surrounded the place gingerly. Staring at that unconscious two-star Card Creator, they were moving carefully and closing in bit by bit.
Lu Ming’s brows arched slightly.
Shush!
Everyone trembled and rays of Sword Embryo condensed. They were deeply fearful that Lu Ming would let out an outburst and injure them. They then discovered that Lu Ming still did not move. He seemed to be sleeping soundly.
...
Zhang Erliang’s face was heating up.
Damn it.
He had the fright of his life.
This chap...
He was closing his eyes. Was he really in a deep slumber?
...
At this moment...
He did not know that Lu Ming had already awakened in the darkness.
However...
He could not move.
This was because his body was suffering from the torture of a certain power!
Because...
That damn legacy was in his body!!!
He was right!
His sister was extremely right!
Even if he was the elder, he could not be so shameless!
For example—
Lunar Shadow!
That shameless thing actually forced the legacy into him! He used a special method to infuse it into his body forcefully!
Lu Ming almost blew up due to that!
At the beginning, he did not understand why he gave it to him. However, when he understood Elder Lunar Shadow’s true intent, his expression darkened horribly, because he discovered that...
He had been treated as a USB flash drive.
It was the kind that could be inserted everywhere to transmit information.
Well...
He was a living Swordsman USB flash drive now!
Lunar Shadow, that shameless old man, hoped that he could find him a true inheritor! He hoped that he could help him to pass it to someone else!
Crap!!!
As to why he was chosen?
Hehe.
It was very simple.
The Swordsman legacy was not transferable. It could only be passed on to the next generation after understanding it. Hence, he needed to choose an inheritor who was intelligent enough to understand and then pass it on!
If you could only understand fifty percent of it, how much of it would be left when you passed it to others?!
If the person only had forty percent talent?
It was fearful that the Lunar Shadow legacy would really be gone!
Therefore...
Elder Lunar Shadow pondered deeply and thought of a rogue idea. As Lu Ming had come in first for various segments, he was simply the perfect inheritor!
He had strong comprehension and could definitely understand hundred percent of the legacy!
Therefore, he forcefully chucked everything to Lu Ming!
He did not know how to use it? It did not matter!
He could teach it to others after he understood it.
That’s right.
This was Lunar Shadow’s intent.
Eventually, he refused to make concessions by passing the legacy onto Wang Xuan and the rest. Instead, he forcefully chucked it to Lu Ming, hoping that the Lunar Shadow legacy could be completely passed down...
Hehe.
Pass down, what crap?!
Who could he pass it to?
Xiaobai?
Was that possible?
Although Xiaobai’s initially dreamed of being a Swordsman, he had cajoled her into being a Card Creator. She did not have any use for it now... If he had known that this would be the case, he would not have convinced Xiaobai.
It hurts!
It hurts!
Lu Ming gritted his teeth. Wait a minute. Damn Lunar Shadow, when my body has adapted to this, I will abandon this legacy immediately and then offer you a joss stick at your burial mound.
You don’t want to give it to Wang Xuan, right?
I will dump it onto Wang Xuan immediately afterward!
You are such a tyrant!
Bang!
Bang!
There were booming noises in his body.
Lu Ming was enduring a great deal of pain.
There was no choice.
It was a full set of Lunar Shadow legacy including memories, experience, abilities and even some residual Sword Aura, Sword Intent and many more that were meant for the Sword Embryo!
But now?
They were all in Lu Ming’s body!
He did not have a Sword Embryo. What could he use to store these items?
He could only use his body!
Therefore...
These items erupted in his body and he could not endure them at all!
He could only hold on painstakingly!
This point...
It was fearful that Lunar Shadow did not even think of it.
To Lunar Shadow’s knowledge, regardless of Lu Ming’s capability, he had passed all those assessments and came in first! How could he possibly not be able to withstand it?!
After all...
If he was so weak, how could he attain the first place in the various assessments?
Where was your lightning body?!
This led to such an uncanny ending.
Shush!
Shush!
He could hear footsteps approaching.
Lu Ming was anxious at heart but he did not have a solution.
Bang!
Bang!
The powers in his body were still tossing and turning. He could not digest them at all.
What could he do...
Lu Ming focused his thoughts and was suddenly determined on something... Why not... He had a solution but it was too dangerous. However, looking at Brother Cat who was sleeping soundly in his Sea of Consciousness, he could only clench his teeth... If no one was coming, he might be able to endure it. However, if he had been discovered now...
He might die!
He would go all out!
Shush!
Lu Ming headed towards a direction.
Bang!
The endless powers in his body seemed to have found a target, they were gushing towards it!
...
At this very moment...
Zhang Erliang and the group were already approaching. He asked a Swordsman to approach Lu Ming and carefully touch him. He then confirmed one thing — Lu Ming had really fainted and was unconscious!
What did this mean?
Everyone glanced at one another.
They had assembled more than ten four-star Swordsmen!
Lu Ming, this lad...
He actually went into a coma just like that.
“Hehe. This is his karma. After all, he is only a two-star Card Creator.”
Zhang Erliang sneered coldly.
No matter how big a threat Lu Ming was, he was still a two-star Card Creator. It seemed that he had overlooked his identity and messed things up. In the end, he had implicated himself.
“Take him away!”
“Yes.”
A swordsman grabbed Lu Ming.
As a precautionary measure, they even tied both Lu Ming’s hands up.
“The rope is useless. Use the iron chain,” Zhang Erliang said in a deep voice.
Lu Ming this lad was too cunning. They could not give him any chance.
Well...
After he personally saw Lu Ming being chained up tightly and dragged by two Swordsmen, he then felt satisfied.
“Let’s go!”
Zhang Erliang was in high spirits.
With this guy, Lu Yan was not going to be a problem!
Haha!
Never did they expect that it would be so easy to capture Lu Ming! He had to dig out all the secrets from this guy and Lu Yan’s legacy...
Hehe.
Lu Ming was their greatest gain this time!
“Little chap. This time. You won’t have any more chances...”
Zhang Erliang patted Lu Ming’s oval face.
However...
Suddenly...
He felt that something was amiss.
This feeling...
He suddenly glanced at Lu Ming whom he was clutching in his hands, only to discover that, unknowingly, Lu Ming, who was supposedly unconscious, had opened his eyes at this very moment.
That pair of eyes were akin to a bolt of golden lightning.
“Hello, friend.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
Oh no!
Zhang Erliang’s countenance changed drastically. He jumped back in shock before coming to his senses. What was he afraid of?
Lu Ming was only a two-star Card Creator!
Furthermore...
Damn it. He was tied up by the iron chain!
That was a custom-made iron chain used specifically in the prisons of their island. Even an ordinary Swordsman could not break it, let alone a meager Card Creator!
Furthermore...
He had more than ten Swordsmen with him!
“I’m afraid you don’t know the situation now.”
Zhang Erliang grinned evilly.
It was also good that he was awake. He would get a greater kick out of torturing him when he was conscious.
This guy...
Zhang Erliang had long wanted to deal with him.
However...
Lu Ming ignored him.
A golden glint twinkled in his eyes and he swept his gaze across his own body.
Click!
Click!
Seemingly, something flashed across it. Those indestructible iron chains on Lu Ming’s body shattered instantly, dropping to the ground with crashing sounds.
Fear and trepidation were etched on everyone’s faces.
Chain?
Broken?
Zhang Erliang’s pupils constricted.
This...
How could that be possible?!
They were very clear about how tough this chain was. Lu Ming had only taken a glance at it...
And right then.
Lu Ming looked up and glanced at them.
“Kill him!”
Zhang Erliang did not hesitate at all.
The unknown was the most terrifying. Sure enough, there was really a problem with Lu Ming! No matter what his secret was, it was no longer important!
He had to kill him!
Swoosh!
Sword gleams surged.
Over ten Swordsmen had already taken action.
That horrifying sword gleams engulfed Lu Ming instantly. Under their joint attack, even Wu Hongfei might not be able to fight them!
However...
Just at that instant!
Lu Ming gently lifted his hand and the Original Card appeared like a breeze.
Yes.
The Original Card...
That product that uniquely belonged to the Card Creator.
Shush!
Golden lights surged.
The Original Card disappeared from the spot instantly.
Buzz—
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment!
Whoosh!
Cold beams of lights landed!
What was that?!
The hairs on Zhang Erliang’s scalp were standing.
It was that Original Card!
At this moment, he could clearly see the plain-looking Original Card gradually drifting past his eyes.
Pfft!
It easily slashed his throat and then drifted back to its original spot.
Shush!
Shush!
Countless golden Z-shaped lightning beams flashed across the sky. The Original Card surrounded by golden beams suddenly appeared beside those Swordsmen and then disappeared in matters of moments.
In the forest.
Time seemed to have frozen.
Be it Zhang Erliang or those Swordsmen who were about to slay Lu Ming, they suddenly froze on the spot without any movement.
One second...
Two seconds...
...
Pfft!
Over ten spurts of blood were suddenly spewed.
How could this... be possible?!
They clutched their throats in disbelief as they dropped to the ground in a pool of blood.
The Original Card streaked across a perfect arc before drifting back to Lu Ming leisurely as if this was the closing of a bloody and splendorous grand banquet.
Presenting Lu Ming, the Swordsman.
