Chapter 468: Chapter 221 Hunting (Part 1)

Liu Mei admitted that she had underestimated Lu Hong, the killing of 130,000 might not yet be his limit. Although Lu Hong’s rapid defeat of a Third Transition late stage expert relied on his opponent’s underestimation, if it were her, even if her opponent underestimated her, Liu Mei had no assurance she could strike them down with her sword.

"Brother Tu, why didn’t you kill those two helpers as well?" Liu Mei was puzzled, with just cooperation between the siblings, wearing down the opponent shouldn’t be a problem.

Lu Hong chuckled in response, "They cannot die, they need to do some publicity for me."

"Publicity?" Liu Mei did not agree with Lu Hong’s statement, "If you think to use their influence to deter those eyeing the Child of God decree, I must say your thinking is too simplistic. They will not give up because of this death, on the contrary, the number of people coming after you will likely increase. Originally, those top experts would refrain from acting against you due to their status, but showing strength comparable to a Third Transition late stage, those people will find a reasonable excuse to attack you, this move I truly find unwise."

Seeing Liu Mei’s thorough analysis, Lu Hong couldn’t help but nod in admiration, "I didn’t expect Miss Liu to have such insight, I am impressed, Tu admits."

Liu Mei gave a bitter smile and shook her head, "You better leave quickly, I believe the news will spread rapidly, and it’s best not to delay, make preparations and absolutely do not fall into those people’s encirclement."

"Thank you for your concern Miss Liu, but I have considered this layer, that’s why I let them go."

Hearing Lu Hong’s explanation, Liu Mei gave him an annoyed look, thinking to herself that he seemed quite decent, why must he be so pretentious?

The good impression Lu Hong had in Liu Mei’s view suddenly returned to square one.

"Then I wish you good luck."

Facing Liu Mei’s suddenly cold tone, Lu Hong was also stunned, previously it was all amicable ’Brother Tu’, why has it changed to ’Sir’?

"Thank you." Seeing Liu Mei intentionally distancing herself, Lu Hong didn’t plan on staying longer and took his leave from the three.

Watching Lu Hong leave, Liliya couldn’t help but push Liu Mei, "What’s wrong with you? Why suddenly give him the cold shoulder? Wasn’t everything just fine? What did he do to you? He’s handsome and strong, where else can you find such a man?"

Liu Mei shook her head, "I thought he was different from those aristocratic young masters, but it seems I was just wishful thinking."

Liu Wushuang, deeply aware of his sister’s nature, guessed some of the reasons and tried to console her, "My dear sister, men like to show off, try to understand that."

"Understand what?" Liu Mei looked coldly at her brother, "Did you forget how our uncle died? It was all because of that dying to save face, pretending to be great, what happened afterward? Aunt now weeps daily at home, let me tell you Liu Wushuang, if I discover you enjoying such pointless acts, I’d rather break your limbs myself and keep you at home instead of you sending your life away frivolously!"

In Liu Mei’s eyes, Lu Hong’s behavior was incredibly foolish, just to show off and gain her favor, putting himself in a desperate situation, it was truly foolish, the more she thought about it, the more furious she became, and any residual goodwill she had toward Lu Hong completely vanished.

Liu Mei disliked this foolishness, which tied greatly with her uncle’s death, and this was also her sensitive spot, causing her to spurn many of the accomplished young men.

"Hey," perhaps used to being scolded, Liu Wushuang acted very casually in front of his sister, nudging her arm teasingly, "Could it be that Brother Tu deliberately leaked the news, not to deter, but to bait?"

"Bait?" Liliya asked, puzzled, "Bait who?"

"Who else but those top experts hiding behind their status?" Liu Wushuang shrugged.

Hearing the unintentional words from Liu Wushuang, Liu Mei suddenly paused, remembering Lu Hong’s free-spirited manner as he left, as if, as if that truly was his intention.

Did I misunderstand him?

Liu Mei wasn’t sure, but she needed to witness it herself, to see whether Lu Hong was just shallowly showing off, or if he truly harbored such schemes.

"Let’s go!" Liu Mei pulled her brother along.

"Go where?"

"To find Brother Tu."

"Brother Tu?" Liliya widened her eyes, "Why did you change your tone again?"

"Never mind," Liu Mei’s face flushed red, quickly changing the subject, "Did you see which way he went?"

"I don’t know, he left too quickly, I couldn’t see clearly," Liliya shook her head, "If you two are going to look for him, I can’t really help in this affair."

Liliya still had the presence of mind, quickly stepping back a few steps, indicating that she would stay in the valley waiting for the two to return.

"That’s fine." Liu Mei nodded, the old priest had given her means to protect her own life, but they couldn’t protect her best friend, during a battle between strong ones, she would avoid involvement as much as possible, even merely as a bystander, Liu Mei wasn’t sure she could completely protect her best friend’s safety.

Less than an hour after Lu Hong had left the valley, he saw a strong individual searching around the mountain, seemingly looking for something.

"Hey, are you looking for this?" Lu Hong pulled out the Child of God decree, waving it in front of the other party.

Evidently, this powerful individual hadn’t yet reacted, "What did you say?"

"I’m asking if you are looking for this thing?" Lu Hong tempted the other party again.

The strong individual stared at the Child of God decree, greed gradually appearing in their eyes, making a grab for it.

"Ah~ No giving!" Lu Hong quickly pulled back the decree, laughing, "Annoying, isn’t it?"

The strong individual’s face immediately darkened, "Are you playing with me?!"

"Yes,"

After receiving Lu Hong’s affirmative answer, the strong man couldn’t contain his anger as his magic power exploded, "Die!"

Heavenly God Descending!

For those who tried to snatch the token, Lu Hong showed no mercy. Since they wanted to steal treasures, they should be prepared to pay with their lives!

As the divine light descended, Lu Hong pressed his hand on the aggressor’s crown with one hand while restraining the wild magic. He suddenly exerted force and, with a crisp snap, the strong man’s head was crushed, and he fell to the ground, dying in a rather suffocated manner.

After dealing with his opponent, the Bloodthirst Skill silently activated, absorbing all of the man’s vital essence.

Lu Hong knew that the ability to kill a Third Transition late-stage strong man, if exposed, would not elicit fear but instead, attract more who wanted to kill and steal treasures.

He had to be ready, activating the nourishment of Bloodthirst to ensure he had sufficient combat power to face the super strong beings within the divine path.

After sucking the man’s vital essence dry, Lu Hong split the ground with a sword and hastily buried the body, then checked his surroundings before again searching for his next target.

Three hours later, the news that Lu Hong could kill Third Transition strong men spread throughout the fourth level. Many Third Transition late-stage strong men were restless, and many top strong men hidden within the divine path could not hold back and joined the search party for Lu Hong.

However, after half a day, those who joined forces gradually began to disappear without a trace.

"Ah Hua?" The heavily paid Space Mage initiated a contact signal, but there was no response from the other side.

"Master, can’t you make contact?" A heavily armored man furrowed his brows slightly, his face very grim.

The Space Mage shook his head slightly, "Can’t get through, don’t know what happened to Ah Hua."

"This is already the sixth case, Mr. Bapu, do you still want to continue the search?" The disappearance of Third Transition strong men was frightening, and frankly, the Space Mage didn’t want to continue, "This matter is too strange, I will refund your commission and hope you will agree to my withdrawal."

Bapu shook his head, "No need to refund the commission, Master. Keep it well, consider it making a friend. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate again."

"Alright." The Space Mage nodded and then used the Space Flicker, disappearing into the dense forest.

The 13th Divine Path was a trial ground painstakingly crafted by the temple, having strong spatial restrictions. Apart from the temple-constructed Teleportation Array, even a mage proficient in Space Magic could only perform short-distance transfers and couldn’t open teleportation gates.

The Mage rapidly used consecutive flicker Skills and arrived a hundred miles away. Although he still hadn’t left the dense forest, his suspended heart finally relaxed.

A hundred miles, it should be safe, right?

The Mage relaxed his vigilance, took a deep breath, and needed to meditate to replenish the vast amount of magic power consumed by the continuous Space Jump.

Just as the Mage settled into his meditation, a voice arose near his ear.

"Mage sir, meditating? Is your magic power insufficient?"

The voice carried a chilling coldness, and even though it was midday, it made the Space Mage feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Who are you?!" While he spoke, his hands were not idle; his magic power surged, and a Spatial Cutting Skill flashed by.

There was a bang, and the Spatial Slash seemed to have encountered resistance and couldn’t advance further.

"Mage sir, you seem a bit murderous!" Lu Hong grabbed the man’s neck.

The Mage didn’t stay idle either, using the Flicker Skill in an attempt to escape.

But he found that his most proficient Skill had unexpectedly malfunctioned, rendering it completely ineffective.

Magic Immunity!

The Mage felt a bitter taste in his heart, realizing that his opponent possessed this capability, no wonder they could kill without a trace.

"Could you spare me? I’m just working for someone else."

"If you can persuade me, I might consider it."

"I... I have lots of treasures; I’ll give them all to you, all to you."

"If I kill you, won’t those naturally become mine?"

"This... this... "

"I can help you gather information!" In a moment of desperate inspiration, the Space Mage blurted out, "I can help you gather intelligence and inform you of the locations of those who are greedy, letting you move through this mountain range even more smoothly."

Lu Hong was somewhat tempted, so he said, "Then how can I trust you?"

"I... " The Space Mage’s brain rapidly spun, "I can swear an oath to the Heavenly God, and if I violate it, I shall be annihilated from heaven and earth!"

"Very well." Lu Hong nodded in satisfaction, pursuing this Space Mage for a hundred miles was absolutely worth it.
