Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Boss Lu, You Died a Horrible Death

Lu Wu’s unconcerned expression was a blatant slap in Wu Liang’s face.

’I’ve made you my sworn enemy, but you’re just here, eating melon seeds.’

Her utter nonchalance made him look like a total buffoon.

"You’re humiliating me! Die!"

Unable to take it anymore, Wu Liang decided to strike. The heavy sword flashed, and the world itself seemed to darken.

"A hit! He’s been hit!"

Lu Wu cheered at the top of her lungs.

It was Uncle Li’s fist that had connected with Wu Liang’s cheek.

Faced with Wu Liang’s blade, Uncle Li simply threw an ordinary-looking punch. His fist, seemingly light and effortless, was faster than the sword’s flash.

The moment it reached Wu Liang, Uncle Li’s fist landed dead center.

Let’s get close. My fist is a little red, and your head is a mix of red and white.

This single punch established Uncle Li’s reputation and displayed his formidable spirit.

"Excellent!"

Spitting out a sunflower seed shell, Lu Wu applauded Uncle Li.

’Sure enough, someone with cheats is just on a different level.’

A one-hit KO.

"How can this be?"

The sword had already fallen from the hand of Wu Liang, who was now missing half of his head. His one remaining eye was bloodshot and bulging, and a tear of blood trickled from its corner.

He stared blankly at Uncle Li.

He didn’t understand. How could this being, who looked like nothing more than an ordinary old man, kill him with a single punch?

But as his life force dissipated, his thoughts came to a halt.

The last ray of light faded from his pupils as his eyes turned a dull gray.

’I... regret everything!’

THUD!

The body collapsed, never to rise again.

Uncle Li flicked his sleeves, brushing away some imaginary frost. He walked over to Lu Wu, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and began to crack them open with a CRUNCH.

The rest of the fighting could be left to the Divine Spear Sect disciples and the swarm of demon beasts.

The demon beasts had come along for the express purpose of displaying their divine might.

Under the stampede of the beasts, the remnants of the Fallen Immortal Association, now without their leader, were nothing but a disorderly mob.

They were quickly overwhelmed by the two-pronged assault of humans and beasts.

Some, unwilling to die so easily, turned and attacked Lu Wu.

He could see it now. The beasts and the old man were all centered on Lu Wu. If they could just capture this woman, they might be able to survive.

"Seize her!"

A Cultist, who had a brain but used it for all the wrong things, let out a yell and charged toward Lu Wu.

Nice shout. Maybe don’t do it again next time.

Treated as a soft target, Lu Wu crooked her finger, and "I have a sword" was unleashed once more.

Wherever the sword’s light went, its momentum was unstoppable, and the remaining villains were decapitated.

She couldn’t beat that Wu Liang, but dealing with this cannon fodder was effortless.

Besides, she had protector beasts.

Overhead, Huohuo descended, unleashing a gout of Phoenix Fire directly upon the Cultists who dared to attack Lu Wu, subjecting them to a trial by fire.

The crimson-gold flame, which could incinerate anything, lit up the entire world.

Immensely powerful.

Even Gou Aotian pounced, taking a few angry bites out of the Cultists to vent his frustration.

’That’s what you get for bullying my master! I’ll bite you to death!’

Having gained the upper hand, the Divine Spear Sect disciples fought with renewed passion. They launched a furious counterattack, shouting curses as they did.

"Charge! Take down the traitors and save our Sect!"

AWOOOO! AWOOOO!

The voices of humans and beasts mingled, forming strange cries that echoed high in the air and carried into the Divine Spear Sect.

A mix of beastly roars and ghastly wails, the sounds made Elder Jiang and the others tremble with fear.

"Could those traitors be holding some kind of evil ritual outside?"

Elder Dan tugged his beard, anxious but helpless.

"Insolence! This is utter insolence!"

Elder Jiang slammed his hand on the table.

The Sect Leader, seated at the head of the table, watched another crack spread across its surface and stroked the tabletop, his heart aching.

’This table is made from five-hundred-year-old spirit wood! It’s warm in the winter, cool in the summer... so comfortable to sleep on.’

’If they keep slamming it, I won’t even be able to sleep here the next time my wife kicks me out.’

"No, we can’t just sit here and wait for death. We must counterattack."

"That’s right! Even if it means mutual destruction, we will not let that Evil Cult succeed."

The others chimed in, each making their own pre-battle declarations.

Morale soared.

They were all cultivators; if they cowered in the face of a crisis, their path of cultivation wouldn’t take them very far.

"I seek not victory or defeat, only a clear conscience and a resolute heart!"

The words landed with resounding force.

Elder Jiang held back no longer. He rallied the disciples and led the entire Divine Spear Sect on a charge toward the great Array.

"In a moment, I will shatter this Array with brute force. Once you are outside, attack without restraint. Life and death will not matter."

His icy gaze fixed on the barrier of the Array, a murderous aura enveloped Elder Jiang as his powerful qi began to climb.

’I, Elder Jiang, am unleashing my ultimate!’

As the light of the Magic shot to the sky and collided with the Array, the resulting ripples began to expand.

CRACKLE, CRACKLE.

It sounded as if something were shattering.

It was the Mountain Protection Array.

One crack after another appeared on the great Array. In the blink of an eye, the Array shattered into fragments and vanished.

Elder Jiang: ???

’Was I always this amazing?’

"Elder Jiang is magnificent!"

Elder Jiang’s attack was a huge morale boost for the Divine Spear Sect.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

Someone yelled, eagerly leading the charge.

"Kill them!"

’Huh? Why are our own people out here?’

They had assumed the despicable traitors and Cultists would be waiting for them outside, so they had attacked without holding back.

’Oh no, I can’t stop it!’

Everyone was stunned.

At this point, a sky-blotting barrage of Magic covered the heavens. It was too late to call it back.

Lu Wu, also caught in the line of fire, cast a strange look at the senior sister who had opened the Mountain Protection Array.

’So this is how your Divine Spear Sect welcomes reinforcements.’

’An opening move straight out of a nuclear strike.’

’Friendly fire, anyone?’

Lu Wu felt like a complete fool.

"Oh no!"

Elder Jiang and the others naturally spotted Lu Wu as well. Seeing that she was about to be bombarded by innumerable spells of Magic, Elder Jiang’s face went white.

A blinding light erupted.

After the deafening explosion, Elder Jiang’s eyes became lifeless.

"My Boss Lu! To die such a miserable death!"

Elder Jiang wailed.

’Why couldn’t he have looked before he acted?’

’His own Magic was part of that barrage.’

It wasn’t just him; Elder Dan and the Sect Leader had also attacked, hoping to catch the Cultists completely by surprise.

But they had harmed Boss Lu instead.

"Boss Lu, I’ve wronged you."

The Sect Leader was about to cry.

’His spicy rabbit heads... they were gone.’

’He wouldn’t even be able to offer spicy rabbit heads at Boss Lu’s funeral to comfort her spirit in the great beyond.’

"Hold on, who are you all mourning for?"

Lu Wu waved away the dust and smoke, frowning at their funereal expressions.

’She wasn’t dead yet. Why did they look like they were ready to set up the funeral banquet?’

’Her cheat character had been online this whole time; she’d never logged off.’

’A mere explosion? Please. That was nothing.’

Behind Lu Wu, Uncle Li—the one who had resolved everything—stood with his hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he watched Lu Wu show off.

’Such a good granddaughter. So cute.’

"Boss Lu? You’re not dead?"

Elder Jiang cried out in shock, seeing her standing there alive and well.

"You’re the one who’s dead."

’Such a rude old man.’

’When other protagonists show up to save people, they get flowers and applause. When I show up to save people, these guys are already grabbing their bowls for the funeral feast.’

’Such different treatment.’

’Did a dog eat their conscience?’

Gou Aotian: Junk food. Ptooey!
