Chapter 518: No Regrets Being Chinese

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The preparation was almost complete. Many people had sat in the formation with their legs crossed, exactly the same as what happened in the Beimang remains.

A sense of urgency seized Lu Shu. Takashima was about to advance to Class A like this!

When everyone was seated, two lines of bloody tears rolled down Takashima’s face. The streams slid down his cheeks, seeming to have awakened the human blood on the ground. Like tentacles, blood reached out to connect with his tears.

At this moment, numerous traces of blood rose from within the formation, wrapping around all the Practitioners. Meanwhile, Takashima’s trusted subordinates guarded the ground outside the formation.

“Everyone, God bless you in heaven,” Takashima said and closed his eyes.

The ritual had begun, and every individual involved was awaiting their death in silence.

“Wait!” Lu Shu suddenly raised his hand. “I want to use the bathroom!”

That startled all the trusted subordinates standing outside. What the hell are you thinking?!

“From Takashima Tairatsu’s distress, +999!”

“From…”

Takashima’s eyes were immediately wide open. He fixed Lu Shu with a malicious stare. Even the motion of the entire sacrificial formation paused a little. Lu Shu would have been slain on the spot, if not for those subordinates’ fear of the formation!

Outside the enclosure wall there were loud clashes and roars of thunder. Takashima knew fully well that time was running out!

At this moment, an old voice sounded outside, “Please leave, Your Excellency. If you insist on killing us, we will pledge our lives to protect our family from invaders.”

That pleased Takashima. He had never expected the hidden clans of the Conservatives to appear at this timing in an effort to counter the enemies. Despite being the losing side of the civil war, the remaining forces of the Conservatives would not sit still as their land was tread upon by aggressors.

The main conflict between the Conservatives and the Jingoists was their stand on foreign policies. But they shared the same interest in protecting their country.

That was also why Nie Ting had never asked Lu Shu to befriend the Conservatives.

This was his opportunity. Takashima knew that those clans could buy more time for him!

At that instant, blood-red traces suddenly rolled towards Lu Shu. The number of blood threads sent to him was multiple times that of others!

But what happened next caught everyone present off guard. From Lu Shu’s body flew out a golden dragon. For some reason, Lu Shu had realized that after his acquisition of the weapon spirit, the divine water could be better controlled when in the dragon form, just like Howard’s fiery phoenix!

At the same time, Lu Shu stood tall on the dragon head, instantly breaking those bloody traces upon contact with the divine water!

The young man looked condescendingly at those below. Lu Shu could not wait any longer. With the activation of the formation, it would soon be too late to act!

In the meantime, other Practitioners’ strength was being extracted by the blood threads, transmitted to Takashima via the formation.

Lu Shu could sense the rapid growth in Takashima’s power and energy. He would soon reach the peak of Class B!

Lu Shu advanced forward across the formation. With the protection from the divine water, he could walk through the ground unharmed!

At this moment, streams of blood on the floor suddenly concentrated into a blood dragon, swirling towards Lu Shu. Those subordinates had also stepped into the formation themselves to try and take Lu Shu’s life!

The blood dragon suddenly split into four to surround Lu Shu. Despite his best defense, Lu Shu was still hit by one of the dragons.

Fresh blood welled up in Lu Shu’s throat. He took a step back to reanalyze the situation. Lu Shu would not be able to counter the blood dragon and over ten Class C masters at the same time. Then he realized, he was unable to fight against the formation in spite of all his powers.

Blasts of red and gold bellowed across the formation. Lu Shu suddenly noticed that Takashima seemed to have been immobilized in the starting stage of the sacrifice!

Outside the sea of chi, the two flying daggers had been rapidly scraping against the snow mountain, which was on the verge of collapse. Lu Shu was well aware that his daggers could hardly inflict any physical harm on Takashima in the current situation, given the thick layer of bloody threads around him. Lu Shu had to find a way to breakthrough.

His days of practice and hard work might soon be able to pay off.

The ancestor of the Hall of Swords once said, the sea of chi was as reckless as the ocean, and snow mountain as vast, the manifestation of one’s will in their swords would rise up into the mountains and into the clouds. Back then, there were those who achieved the level of sword will after the collapse of the snow mountain. Lu Shu awaited that day eagerly.

In the meantime, Lu Shu could only destroy the formation to the best of his abilities while evading the giant blood dragon at the same time. His daggers sped up in their progress of flattening the mountain, but had yet to achieve complete success. The divine water carried Lu Shu around in the formation, but seemed less powerful than the blood dragon. It seemed that a single mistake on Lu Shu’s side would result in his death.

Lu Shu aimed at Takashima, but was held back by the blood dragon and over ten Class C’s!

It was hard to fight against so many enemies at the same time!

However, at this moment, one of the trusted subordinates suddenly sliced towards his teammate with his katana. Everyone was startled!

A Class C stood in between Lu Shu and the rest were outside the formation. His strengths were growing rapidly, which reminded Lu Shu of the Class D expert who sacrificed his own future just to kill a Class D criminal the other night.

Blood oozed out of the Class C’s skin, but his expression was as calm as the deep sea.

Then, he turned and smiled at Lu Shu. “I will take care of them. Handle the rest, please.”

As soon as he finished the sentence, he dashed towards the other subordinates with his katana. At that instant, his figure was as steady as a mountain, like the golden Sun emerging out of the sea surface and layers of clouds, spreading radiance and warmth to the world.

He laughed. “I really miss the minced meat noodles of my hometown. It’s been a long time… since I left my home. I never regret being born Chinese. I hope to be your comrade again in my next life!”

Suddenly, cracks rippled out on the enclosure wall with a loud crash. The growth in the man’s power came to a stop right below Class B. He had reached his limit. Even he himself knew that he had been burning the candle at both ends under his sheer will that day. Otherwise, he would have been able to reach Class B.

He thrust his blade into a trusted subordinate like a flying moth darting into the flame.

He aimed to kill with every blow, regardless of his own injuries.

This was because he knew he would not be the last man standing. Thus, the only way was to kill as many as he could!

Soon, his body was punctured by three katanas, in his waist, thigh and right rib respectively. Meanwhile, he had killed nine.

Leaning on his katana, the man coughed up fresh blood and chortled. “I am Liu Xiu from the Heavenly Network. Anyone dare to fight me?!”

Even the remaining five men were hesitant!

The man, drenched in blood, still had a murderous air around. Eying the remaining subordinates, Liu Xiu laughed. “I shouldn’t have freaking promised to take care of you all. Such an overstatement…”

With that, Liu Xiu closed his eyes. But he remained standing even in death.
