Chapter 200: Preparing For Battle

“Master.”

Li Changsheng’s heart surged with a warm feeling.

“I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded.

“This Nalan Hongyu is indeed quite ruthless. She directly attacked three places at the same time. Even if I already know her goal, I still can’t avoid it because I don’t have enough clones.”

Wang Cai was able to unleash the same strength as Lu Xiaoran. However, as his trump card, Lu Xiaoran did not want to expose Wang Cai in such a short period of time.

He had to keep a trump card.

When Yun Lige destroyed the Lin family, he had activated the teleportation information. No one knew what kind of experts this would attract.

At that time, if he could not defeat the other party, he could still get Wang Cai to help him create a favorable situation.

The problem now was that even if the situation was so difficult, Lu Xiaoran could not help but be led by the nose by Nalan Hongyu.

Was he supposed to give up on the Imperial City?

With the Imperial Family, he could control the Great Zhou. Many resources and information could be obtained immediately.

Other than that, there were also countless benefits.

Moreover, Ji Wuxia would not give up on her parents and brothers. Lu Xiaoran could not watch his disciple die in battle here, right?

Was he supposed to give up on the Azure Lotus Sword Sect?

There were many of Li Changsheng’s seniors and friends inside. It was also impossible for Li Changsheng to accept them being killed.

There was no need to mention the Heaven Demon Sect.

Lu Xiaoran had lived there for ten years. Before he transmigrated, this body had also been raised by the Heaven Demon Sect.

He was not that cold-blooded after all.

However, Lu Xiaoran did not want to lose the battle.

Even if he had to fight, he had to drown Nalan Hongyu in her own ocean.

“If I’m not wrong, it’s definitely impossible for Fang Aotian to come to the Imperial City to fight me head-on. His cultivation level is still not enough. Moreover, last time, despite only being attacked by the few of you, he almost died.”

“As long as Nalan Hongyu was not stupid, she would not send him.

“Secondly, Li Liushui had already said that he was going to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

“Then, Nalan Hongyu would naturally be the one to head to the Imperial City. However, Nalan Hongyu is not stupid. I’m not the only expert in the Imperial City. She would not come alone.

“According to my deduction, they probably want to separate us.

“After destroying one of you guys, they would quickly use the teleportation formation to gather their strength to deal with me.

“Our strategy is the same. Whoever gets rid of the other first will be in charge of helping the others. It’s best for us to stick in groups.”

In such a situation, it was not impossible for Lu Xiaoran to use the array formation to block one area and then fight in a group.

The other party was not stupid and had definitely prepared their own teleportation formation. Once they discovered that something was wrong, they would definitely teleport away immediately. If they did not act according to the rules and wanted to launch a sneak attack, they would only be shooting themselves in the foot.

Thus, they were only left with one solution. He could only strengthen his disciples and ensure that his disciples could successfully win the fight.

“Changsheng, I’ll teach you an additional cultivation technique. The Battle God Art can allow you to constantly increase your attack power in battle to ensure that you become stronger to make up for the difference between you and Li Liushui. In addition, I think you’ll suffer some injuries in the early stages of the battle. Other than the medicinal pills, I’ll also teach the Purple Qiong Azure Thearch Longevity Art so that you would be able to recover during the battle.”

“Yes, thank you, Master.”

“As for Tianyuan, you’ll be in charge of Fang Aotian. Lige and Wuxia will help you. I’ll let Lige cultivate the Azure Thearch Longevity Art to support the two of you. As for the rest, I’ll try my best to give you some advantages in terms of equipment.”

Fang Aotian’s cultivation was inferior to Li Liushui’s. Moreover, Fang Aotian’s luck seemed to be inferior to Li Liushui’s. It was still relatively easy for the other party to win.

However, Lu Xiaoran was more cautious and did not like to do anything too careless.

Although he could revive the disciples, it was still best if they could kill the hot shots first.

The hot shots might become stronger after each battle that they won.

It was just like how cockroaches could reproduce and increase their overall number to achieve the goal of becoming stronger.

The hot shots were like cockroaches that could not be killed. The more they fought, the more spirited they became.

“This time, I’ll give each of you two Martial Monarch Realm armors. I’ll also give you two more combat Martial Monarch Realm weapons. Otherwise, you won’t be able to take it when the enemy detonates their Martial Monarch Realm weapons.”

Lu Xiaoran actually had another Martial Monarch Realm Core Pill. It was the advanced version of the Exploding Lightning Pill.

If this pill exploded, it would definitely cause enough lethality to the enemy. Even a Supreme Realm expert like Nalan Hongyu would not be able to resist it head-on.

However, that thing was not useful. It was comparable to detonating a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.

Even a Supreme Realm expert might not be able to withstand it, let alone the Heaven Demon Sect, the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, and the Imperial City.

It was even to the extent that even Fang Tianyuan and the others were unable to endure it.

This thing could only be released from a long distance. However, in a battle, Fang Tianyuan and the others were not as powerful as the hot shots to begin with, so how could they widen their distance from the hot shots?

This was a defensive battle and not a battle of attrition. He could only rely on his own strength to clear the level.

After Lu Xiaoran finished speaking, Ji Wuxia stepped forward and said,

“Master, actually, I personally think that there are two reasons why we lost in the previous battle.”

“Speak.”

“Firstly, Senior Brother Fang did not say the mantra of victory. When he returned to the vicinity of the Ancient Ape Tribe, he did not say out loud how many years he had taken to return.”

“Secondly, among the few of us, Senior Brother Fang took off Master’s coat.”

“Is that so?”

Lu Xiaoran lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

The so-called mantra of victory was a method he copied from those hot shots.

Even now, Lu Xiaoran was still not sure if it really worked.

However, through these relatively obscure methods, it seemed that it could indeed reduce the luck of the hot shots and increase their luck.

He also couldn’t exactly say that the mantra of victory was useless. After all, both Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia succeeded.

Fang Tianyuan, on the other hand, did not say anything and failed.

Perhaps it was indeed effective.

As for the coat, because he was the one who made it, Lu Xiaoran did not know if it would increase one’s luck.

Lu Xiaoran had already vaguely realized that he seemed to have quite a bit of luck. It was either because he had killed the hot shots, because of Wang Cai, or because he originally had some luck.

At the very least, he had never been defeated by a hot shot.

Did this mean that he could resist the luck of the hot shots? If so, did it mean that the things he made were also immune to the crushing luck of some hot shots?

Yun Lige, Fang Tianyuan, and the others all resembled villains. Although their talent was not bad, they were actually stepping stones for hot shots.

Their only weakness was—bad luck!

The reason why Fang Tianyuan died might really be related to luck. Otherwise, he might only be severely injured.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran immediately said, “Then from today onwards, I’ll add two more rules. Firstly, no one is allowed to take off their coats in battle. Secondly, when dealing with your old enemy, remember to say the mantra of victory to increase your chances of victory and decrease the other party’s luck.”

“Yes!”

Hearing his disciples answer, Lu Xiaoran nodded. Then, he taught Li Changsheng the Battle God Art and Yun Lige and Zhuge Ziqiong the Azure Thearch Longevity Art.

Then, he distributed the equipment to the disciples.

Lu Xiaoran had almost piled up a mountain of Martial Monarch Realm weapons. If it was not a God Realm weapon, Lu Xiaoran would simply be bored of it.

He was even more merciless when he gave them out to his disciples. It was as if he was giving them out for free.

Then, Lu Xiaoran put the few of them into the Mountain and River State Painting again, allowing them to prolong the time they had and cultivate the few Martial Monarch Realm cultivation techniques first.

Before entering the Mountain and River State Painting, Zhuge Ziqiong said, “Master, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“Last time, when we were dealing with Fang Aotian, Eldest Senior Brother worked very hard to protect me. When we encountered danger, he hugged me and used his body to block the battle shock wave for me.”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“Since Eldest Senior Brother is doing his best, I hope Master can reward Eldest Senior Brother more. After all, his cultivation level is so low, I think it’s quite difficult for him.”

“Got it. Go in and cultivate the Azure Thearch Longevity Art first.”

“Yes.”

After Zhuge Ziqiong entered the Mountain and River State Painting, Lu Xiaoran brought Yun Lige out in the blink of an eye.

“Eh, Master, didn’t you ask me to cultivate the Azure Thearch Longevity Art? Time is tight. Why did you get me out again?”

Lu Xiaoran said angrily, “Stop pretending to be serious. Let me ask you, what’s going on between you and your junior sister?”

“Little Junior Sister? What’s the matter?”

Yun Lige’s heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely had a bad feeling. His eyes also began to dodge.

“Stop pretending. Did you secretly take advantage of your junior sister last time?”

“No… no. I was protecting my junior sister. How could I say that I was taking advantage of her?”

“Protecting her? Really? You’re just craving her body. You’re despicable!”

After cursing, Lu Xiaoran finally said sincerely, “Lige, you’re still young. You’re only 289 years old. You’re at the age where you need to work hard. How can you be obsessed with women? Look at your master. Along the way, I’ve met so many beautiful women. Have I ever been moved?”

“Take my advice. Women are like tigers that eat humans or poison that pierces the intestines.

“If a man is useless, no matter how beautiful a woman he finds. In the end, he would only be raising a wife for others.

“If a man is capable, his wife could be easily found along the path. He would have a never-ending supply of women.”

Yun Lige muttered, “Master, I don’t have a choice either. My junior sisters and junior brothers are all stronger than me. I’m almost hopeless at cultivating. At this moment, I have you to protect me. After all, I’m the eldest senior brother of Zhishui Peak. However, in the future, after you die, I’ll be nothing. Shouldn’t I take the opportunity while my junior sisters are all single to pursue one of them? In the future, I can even bootlick them and rely on them.”
