Chapter 1646: Chapter 1648: Truly Not Simple
"Yes." Lu Xiaobu heard Hu Nanshan’s question and nodded. "I saw it, so I took care of it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t fight properly!"
"Gulp!"
Hu Nanshan swallowed hard.
Even after getting confirmation, he still couldn’t quite believe it!
That was a Nascent Soul Stage old monster!
And it was defeated so effortlessly?!
His scalp tingled!
Truly tingled!
And at that moment, Lu Xiaobu pondered for a moment, stopped, and after rubbing his chin, said, "Let’s go, head back!"
He needed to confirm if both sides were really at war!
"Ah?" Hu Nanshan was still a bit stunned, his mind hadn’t caught up.
Going back?!
Why go back?!
Didn’t you just kill their City Lord?
And now you’re going back?!
What... what for?!
He dazedly followed Lu Xiaobu back.
Before they reached nearby, Lu Xiaobu saw a burst of blood flowers explode in the sky!
Followed by incessant explosions, like fireworks!
"Boom boom boom!"
It looked both bloody and enchanting.
"Looks like it’s really started!"
...
General Ji’s mood was terrible, to say the least!
He felt as though he’d been jinxed ever since that little brat tricked him!
Yes, he wanted to start a war, but a normal war!
The kind that goes back and forth until one side suppresses the other!
This had always been the main theme of the island.
After all, everyone had cultivated to this realm painstakingly, who’s idle enough to fight to the death?!
Killing you won’t help me level up!
Besides, there’s no unified force here; if you fight to the death, someone else might swoop in for advantage!
Initially, he was quite satisfied with the progress; the deaths of some Foundation Establishment stage weren’t a concern!
But!
Damn it, Cheng Yuchi died at this critical moment?!
Died in Yuchi City?!
Shit!
Who! Who killed Cheng Yuchi?!
Wasn’t this going to make the two cities fight to the death?!
Damn!
The opponents were furious, having killed many of them already, he couldn’t possibly call for retreat!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be a General anymore!
"Kill! Kill for me!"
General Ji swung a single sword strike, throwing a late Golden Core stage person aside, and rushed towards the Nascent Soul Stage heading his way!
With Nascent Soul stage in action, the battle turned even more brutal!
Surrounding ridges were used as weapons, clashing in mid-air constantly!
Lu Xiaobu saw that surnamed Ji punch a mountain peak hurled at him, and the burst rocks made a nearby early Golden Core stage bleeding!
The Foundation Establishment stage were in worse conditions, hit by small stones, they had gaping holes!
Instantly, the onlookers ran crying bitterly like they’d lost a parent!
The cries only fueled the battlefield’s killing intent further!
Both sides were killing red-eyed, disregarding any remote bombardment, total chaos using any means to kill!
They were forced together as a City Guard Army, no high organization or discipline!
Of course, some were deserters, but these were often the first to be killed!
The logic of striking while weak is understood by all!
"That’s more like it!"
Lu Xiaobu nodded with satisfaction; this was the battlefield he wanted!
"However, still a bit lacking." Lu Xiaobu squinted.
Too few from the high-level combat forces had died!
Lu Xiaobu could tell they were holding back!
Indeed, Lu Xiaobu saw correctly, the top fighters weren’t giving it their all.
Yuchi City fought mostly for face and the decision of the next City Lord.
Though somewhat saddened, they wouldn’t really fight desperately for a dead man.
A show; at most severely injured would suffice!
If Yuchi City wasn’t desperate, Hengqin City naturally wouldn’t be either.
"This isn’t what I want," Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes and said.
The island’s spirit was too weak!
Damn, if none wanted to fight hard, how could he fish in troubled waters?
Hopefully, these words wouldn’t be heard, otherwise they’d collectively strangle him to death!
Why should we risk our lives just for you to fish in troubled waters?!
Have some decency, will you?
"Wait here, I’ll be back." Lu Xiaobu squinted, instructing.
Another must die!
This time, preferably someone from Hengqin City!
"Young Master! What are you going to do?!" Hu Nanshan suddenly sobered up and asked quickly.
"Kill, of course." Lu Xiaobu replied matter-of-factly. "Their top combat forces must die; otherwise, how do we play?
"But, if you act, you’ll surely be targeted!" Hu Nanshan said anxiously.
He had to worry; their lives were still in Lu Xiaobu’s hands!
If something happened to Lu Xiaobu, they’d be finished too!
"It’s fine." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "I won’t send myself to death."
"But..." Hu Nanshan tried to persuade, but Lu Xiaobu gave him no chance.
Lu Xiaobu crept to a nearby hillock, preparing to act when the opportunity arose!
He knew facing a Nascent Soul Stage head-on was ridiculous.
So he’d have to wait for the right moment.
Preferably when someone got injured, severely injured!
And just then.
He heard a voice: "Lu Xiaobu, truly deserving of the title Four City Lord!"
"Who?!"
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed immediately.
With this face, how could anyone recognize him?!
Moreover, there was no one else around.
"It’s me, Mu Qing." The voice continued.
Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes, pulling out an item from his body.
He remembered this item, which Ding Leng had given him at Nanshan Academy, he hadn’t cared, just carried it around.
"Mu Qing?" His gaze narrowed.
He felt he’d been careless!
To carry such a thing with him!
"Yes, it’s me!" Mu Qing’s cold voice replied. "Want to cooperate?"
"Cooperate on what? Who are you? Who’s Ding Leng? Are you spying on me?" Lu Xiaobu asked four questions, his voice increasingly icy.
"No! This item only transmits voice within a certain range!" Mu Qing denied.
"Then how did you know I’m here?" Lu Xiaobu’s voice filled with a murderous tone.
"I saw Hu Nanshan," Mu Qing replied.
Then she said again, "If nothing unexpected, the one who stirred this war... is you, Lu Xiaobu? Lin Feng?"
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Xiaobu’s voice was chilling: "Or are you looking to die?!"
As he spoke, his eyes pinned to the woman fighting on the battlefield!
This woman... indeed was no ordinary!
