Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Sword Shatters Barrier, Direct Compromise

Gazing at Zhang Qingyang’s confident demeanor, Lu Zixun chuckled lightly. "Zhang Qingyang, do you think the Demon Country dares not wage war against Zone 12?"

"Of course, they dare."

Shaking his head and uttering such a remark, Zhang Qingyang then spoke somberly. "That’s why I’m here to discuss matters with Lord Xun, right?"

Zhang Qingyang boldly made outrageous demands as if it were a negotiation.

Lu Zixun gained a new understanding of Zhenfei’s shameless side.

"Alright then, since we are to negotiate,"

Pulling out the Night Slayer Sword from the city wall, Lu Zixun coldly watched Zhang Qingyang. "Let’s see if you can withstand my sword."

Perceiving the surge of Spiritual Energy emanating from Lu Zixun, Zhang Qingyang’s pupils shrank. It seemed that Lu Zixun was indeed eager to take action.

"Activate the high-powered Spiritual Barrier, and do not skimp on the Spiritual Energy Crystals."

After promptly uttering this command, Zhang Qingyang looked at the rising Spiritual Barrier, feeling very reassured, and crossed his arms while watching Lu Zixun.

He was curious to see how Lu Zixun intended to shatter the barrier, which was nearly as strong as an SS-grade defense.

"Spiritual Fire Flame, Ice Soul Cold, the Night Slayer Sword brings death to thousands!"

An aura, potent enough to shatter heavens and obliterate the earth, extended from Lu Zixun.

The Sword Qi, which could dominate thousands of miles, fiercely struck the Spiritual Barrier.

Using the technique for the second time, Lu Zixun, feeling some Spiritual Energy still within him, contemplated deeply.

With more practice, he should be able to conserve a bit more Spiritual Energy.

Watching the approaching Sword Qi in horror, Zhang Qingyang instinctively raised his hand as a shield, unleashing all his Spiritual Energy to form a barrier.

However, when the Sword Qi collided with the Zone 12’s external Spiritual Barrier, there was suddenly no further movement.

Feeling that he had overreacted, Zhang Qingyang embarrassingly lowered his hand, his face wearing a mocking expression. "It’s nothing but..."

He didn’t finish his sentence when the Spiritual Barrier, like a mirror viciously smashed onto the ground, began to fracture.

A web of cracks spread from where the Sword Qi had struck.

"Boom!"

The entire Spiritual Barrier shattered, leaving Zone 12 exposed and vulnerable before Lu Zixun’s eyes.

With an indifferent gaze fixed on Zhang Qingyang, Lu Zixun uttered two words. "Release them."

At that moment, Geng Xiyuan, leading a hundred-man A-grade Demon Clan army, arrived and stood behind Lu Zixun, their cold eyes fixed on Zone 12.

At Lu Zixun’s command, they were ready to attack.

Raising an arm and shakily pointing at Lu Zixun for a long moment,

Zhang Qingyang, not daring to wager whether Lu Zixun could unleash the Night Slayer Sword a second time, said through gritted teeth, "Release them."

The outwardly strong but inwardly weak Lu Zixun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.

If Zhang Qingyang had resolved to fight the Demon Clan, it would not have been the outcome Lu Zixun desired.

Lu Zixun knew he had been impulsive when he planted the Night Slayer Sword on the wall.

And Zhang Qingyang’s appearance forced Lu Zixun to persist.

By demonstrating his strength, he also warned Zhang Qingyang.

The arrival of Geng Xiyuan’s forces undoubtedly increased the concerns in Zhang Qingyang’s heart.

Thus he uttered the words to release the hostages.

Since Lu Zixun’s objective had been achieved and he knew it was not the time to wage war with Zhenfei, he chose not to pursue the matter any further.

With a smile, he bowed his hands towards Zhang Qingyang and said, "I apologize for the earlier imposition. I hope Brother Qingyang can forgive me."

Watching Lu Zixun’s smiling face, Zhang Qingyang suppressed the impulse to rush up and tear that face to shreds, clenching his fists.

A forced smile appeared on his face. "That’s nonsense. The things I said before were a bit unreasonable too. Please, Lord Xun, don’t take them to heart."

The two exchanged knowing smiles. Zhang Qingyang then said, "I wonder, Lord Xun, do you have time to come in for a chat?"

"No, I still have matters to deal with in Demon Country. Oh, right."

After politely declining, Lu Zixun asked, "I’m not sure if our future transactions can still go ahead. Brother Qingyang, you’re not really going to seize a third of the Spiritual Pattern Branches, are you?"

Feeling like he had been slapped in the face again, Zhang Qingyang gave an awkward smile. "It was just a joke, a joke. Of course not, we have a long-term partnership."

"That’s good to hear."

He nodded slightly and then noticed Qing Yalin coming out.

After giving Geng Xiyuan a look signaling retreat, Lu Zixun turned to Zhang Qingyang and said, "Brother Qingyang, you should come and visit Demon Country sometime."

"Some other time, some other time."

After fobbing him off with a reply, Zhang Qingyang, with a darkened expression, watched as Lu Zixun led the Demon Clan’s army away and furiously pounded the wall.

Who the hell said that Lu Zixun from Demon Country wasn’t worth worrying about?

If being able to shatter a Spiritual Barrier nearly of SS-rank thickness isn’t worth worrying about, then would that not make him trash?

With his chest heaving, Zhang Qingyang turned and walked away from the wall.

He wondered who that idiot was, thinking of using the insect-killing competition to make a move on Zone 12.

Wasn’t this just asking for Zhenfei to suffer heavy casualties?

Let me catch you, and when I do, I’ll definitely complain about you severely to Gu Beihan.

"Damn, Brother Xun, you were freaking awesome just now!"

The previously cool and aloof Geng Xiyuan now had a face full of excitement. "You have no idea; that guy’s face went black as coal, he didn’t dare to utter a word."

"Yeah, yeah, Lord Xun was truly badass just now. That felt good."

"This move gets full marks from me. That’s the style the Demon Clan should have!"

Listening to his brothers’ praises, which seemed as if they cost them nothing, Lu Zixun gave a wry smile.

Shaking his head, he said, "It’s because all of you arrived in time. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

"Hahaha, Lord Xun is praising us, does that mean we are also awesome?"

"Lord Xun is from the Demon Clan, I’m also from the Demon Clan, does that mean I can say I’m equal to Lord Xun?"

"Math genius, I’m done."

Surprised at his companions’ foolishness, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but laugh along.

Amidst the harmonious atmosphere, Qing Yalin bowed her head and approached Lu Zixun. "Lord Xun, I was wrong."

"You were too rash, Yalin."

Sighing, Lu Zixun patted Qing Yalin’s shoulder. "Our strength in the Demon Clan isn’t yet enough to confront Zone 12, especially on their turf."

Without needing to think, Lu Zixun knew the reason for Qing Yalin’s detention was likely due to the issue of food prices.

But Zone 12 had done it on purpose.

Had it been politely handled, they might have responded with Tai Chi moves and pushed it back.

However, given Qing Yalin’s temperament, she would naturally end up detained.

"I..."

Biting her lip tightly, Qing Yalin hung her head, her voice a bit low, "I understand now, Lord Xun."

Seeing Qing Yalin like this, Lu Zixun felt uneasy.

With a wry smile, he said, "Alright, this isn’t like you. It’s not that what you did was wrong, but the timing was."
