Chapter 789: The Power of a Magical Birth
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Over a dozen Earth Immortal Realm warriors were currently trying to suppress Walking Puppets in all corners of the city. Six of them were gathered at the city west, including Lu Zhengtan and his oldest son, Lu Tiandi.
Lu Zhengtan and Lu Tiandi looked at each other when Ji Ao’xian gave his instructions. The two started to have second thoughts.
The fact that Ji Ao’xian said so implied that—the five masters and Family Patriarchs didn’t think they could kill Lu Renhuang.
Just because of this reason, Ji Ao’xian hoped that the battle against Walking Puppets could end sooner so that those Earth Immortal Realm warriors could go and offer some help.
The five masters feared they could not kill Lu Renhuang?
Lu Zhengtan was both surprised and terrified. But he and Lu Tiandi could understand to some extent. Lu Renhuang had developed the ultimate ninth rank Mystic Armor. This level of defense was practically second to none in the Earth Immortal Realm.
At the same time, the two were wrestling with themselves. Should they stick till the end or should they leave?
If they left right now, there might be some room of maneuver. At the very least… Lu Renhuang wouldn’t wipe out their entire branch.
If they stayed and Lu Renhuang won this battle, Lu Zhengtan believed that Lu Renhuang would murder them all based on his experience of dealing with Lu Renhuang. Not even Lu Suan and Lu Ni could be spared a life.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Earth Immortal Realm warriors from all sides of the city extricated themselves from battles against the Walking Puppets. Once they did so, the millions of warriors in the city would suffer. Half of them would be injured or killed. That being said, it was not the time for Earth Immortal Realm warriors to worry about others. If they didn’t provide support as they were told, the hostages would be rescued and Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Life League and the Yaksha Race would be slaughtered.
“Father!”
Lu Tiandi turned to Lu Zhengtian for a final decision. Should they leave? Or should they fight till the end?
Lu Suan hacked a Walking Puppet to death. He saw Lu Zhengtan was hesitating. “Grandpa, do you think there is turning back for us? Lu Li and Lu Ling heartless cruel. Once they are in power, do you suppose they will let us off the hook?”
Lu Zhengtan was indecisive. He looked up to the distance and noticed with psychic power how Lu Renhuang still had the upper hand even when he was faced against five. Lu Zhengtan felt it harder to make up his mind.
They were all disciples of the Lu Family. On top of that, they were uncles and nephews. Did they really have to fight such a bitter fight?
But… he, Lu Zhengtan, would have to face blame for the rest of his life if he stopped right now. Worse than that, his offspring might be implicated…
“Lu Zhengtan!”
Right at that moment, sky to the west started to tremble. A white-haired and white-eye browed old man appeared in midair. It was Great Grandpa Five of the Lu Family.
Staring at Lu Zhengtan coldly, he scolded, “Wake up now! Have you forgotten about the teachings of the Lu Family? Have you forgotten our family rules? For some puny personal interest, you are willing to bring the Lu Family to everlasting perdition? How can you possibly face and answer to our ancestors when you pass away?”
Great Grandfather Five was as loud as thunder. Lu Zhengtian, Lu Tiandi, Lu Fenghuo and the others felt their eardrums hurt. Great Grandfather Five enjoyed seniority in the family. Even Lu Zhengtan had to address him as Uncle Five. In addition, Great Grandfather five had a high prestige in the family. Lu Zhengtan felt frustrated to be yelled at. He was evidently struggling.
“Never mind. Stop it now!”
Lu Zhengtan shook his head and sighed. He glanced at Lu Tiandi and the others. “We will go back now and we will no longer be involved in whatever is going on here,” shouted Lu Zhengtan.
“Father!”
Lu Tiandi yelled. By leaving now, they would be admitting defeat. When Lu Renhuang came back with victory, he would go after them one by one.
“Go back!”
Lu Zhengtan yelled in determination, “When us Lu Family disciples have conflicts, we go back home and deal with them ourselves. We can fight and we can argue but we will settle matters within the bounds of the City of Mystic Armor. Lu Family rules tell us that we shall never collide with outsiders to turn on people of our own. Back!”
Lu Zhengtan flew out of the city. Lu Tiandi, Lu Fenghuo and the others had to go with him. Some sinister look was demonstrated in Lu Suan’s eyes as he glanced to Lu Ling in the distance. But he had no other choice but to leave with Lu Zhengtan.
“Whoosh~”
Great Grandfather Five flew into the city in an awe-inspiring manner. “Lu Renhuang is a hero from the very beginning. His son and daughter are outstanding as well. This is a fortune for the Lu Family. Anyone want to kill disciples of the Lu Family must deal with me first,” said he, giving Lu Ling a glance.
He then joined in the fight. On the warlord list of the Central Plains, he ranked No.13. He was a renowned warrior for his soul attack. For all those years, he had been cultivating alone, retiring from society, which had enabled him to gain further progress in soul attacks.
In the city, Jiang Qiling and Lu Ling were faced with tremendous pressure because they only had five Earth Immortal Realm warriors from the Pavilion of Delicacy. Bai Qiuxue and Lu Ling together could be regarded as one Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Little White was able to deal with one Earth Immortal Realm warrior. With the addition of the monk of the Great Buddhist Temple and Great Grandfather Five, this side had a force equal to nine Earth Immortal Realm warriors.
But the six forces had at least more than a dozen Earth Immortal Realm warriors. If it were not for the fact that Lu Renhuang had lured five of the strongest away, and that Lu Zhengtan had left, there would be practically no chance of a fight.
“Please don’t fight. You have put me in a very difficult situation!”
Seeing that more Earth Immortal Realm warriors were going at Lu Ling, Prajna felt upset. She had never killed a man. As a matter of fact, she had never been in a fight. If it were not for Lu Li, she wouldn’t even be here.
“Alas, alas…”
Prajna saw an Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Pavilion of Delicacy smashed away. She saw two more Earth Immortal Realm warriors dashing toward Lu Ling. Prajna made up her mind and moved over with the monk following her.
While flying, Prajna took out a Buddhist prayer beads and mumbled, “Buddha-nature is innate and see if by removing the evil creatures…”
As she finished her last word, small “Buddha” characters engraved on her Buddhist prayer beads suddenly flew out and expanded into a large size. Those “Buddha” characters were like iron fists and they landed on two Earth Immortal Realm warriors.
“What?”
Those two Earth Immortal Realm warriors were on their way to sneak up to Lu Ling and Bai Qiuxue. Suddenly, the two warriors were taken aback by an awareness of danger. As they looked back, they saw many “Buddha” characters with a golden glare smashing at them. They didn’t have enough time to react before the characters pierced into their bodies. They were immobilized as if they had been sealed by something. Next, they began to fall like two pieces of rocks…
“What?”
Those Earth Immortal Realm warriors nearby were astonished. They were certain that the little nun was merely at the Noble Lord Realm. How could she possess such horrifying power?
It was not some form of Bloodline Skill. Given that no Xuan Qi was gathering around, it must not be a Profound Meaning, either. Then, there was only one plausible explanation!
It was an innate skill that came with a magical birth, just like Lu Ling’s fire phoenix flames.
A nun of the Great Buddhist Temple was of magical birth. She was equipped with amazing skills and the Abbot had accepted her as a protégé. This was a story that was familiar to many people but they didn’t realize that it was real…
“Don’t look at me like this.”
Prajna was at a loss when she found that many were checking her up and down. “I do not want to fight. If you don’t fight Sister Lu Ling, I will stop.”
“You little nun!”
An Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Yaksha Race was angered by her words. He flew over and carried a saber with a sawtooth. On the handle of the saber hung a skull. “How pretentious you are! Since the Great Buddhist Temple is going to get involved, I will skin you, little nun, alive!”
“Prajna!”
Lu Ling saw her scared bleached by the Yaksha Race. “These are bad people. Don’t feel guilty. Freeze all the bad people. Your Brother Lu will be so happy when he comes back,” shouted Lu Ling to Prajna.
“Okay!”
Somehow, there was a magic power of the name Lu Li. Prajna regained courage at once. She stared at the Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Yaksha Race, steaming with anger, and said, “You are a bad person and I will seal you. I will let Brother Lu deal with you after he comes back.”
