Spare Me, Great Lord!

There was the sound of thunder. Lightning occasionally flashed within the thunderclouds. The entire Hakodate was in a state of panic. This was even more frightening than a typhoon!

Wen Zaifou looked sadly at the sky. “We were caught unprepared!”

He turned and waved, forming a void. He could no longer continue watching. He was not afraid of the lightning. Rather, he did not want Lu Shu to know that he was here.

Wen Zaifou left, but he was not worried about Lu Shu. He knew that the outcome had been decided.

Lu Shu lay in the remains of the mountain, feeling the flow of the celestial map in his body. The fifth level of Nebula was almost fully lit up.

Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire. The seven levels of the celestial map had seven different meanings.

The first soul was Corpsedog, the second was Concealed Arrow, the third was Sparrow Shade, the fourth was Seizing Thief, the fifth was Non-Toxic, the sixth was Filth Removal, and the seventh was Smelly Lung!

This time, the new sword that had formed above the fifth level was probably Non-Toxic!

Earlier, Lu Shu had been thinking about it. What kind of sword would Non-Toxic be?

Corpsedog was strong, Concealed Arrow was fast, Sparrow Shade was present in large quantities, and Seizing Thief kept close to him. Rationally, he had all the swords he needed.

The next moment, the fifth level of nebula spun and formed a complete galaxy. Then, a shadow… appeared above the seventh star!

Suddenly, he felt something in the Seal of Lands wildly moving about. He opened the Seal of Lands. The head-twisting gourd that he had left aside for a long time suddenly flew to the fifth level of nebula!

The gourd swallowed the shadow in one bite. The surface of the flying sword within the gourd started to dissolve. The slender and beautiful flying sword sparkled among the stars!

The purple gourd completely transformed. A group of stars started to burn, turning the purple gourd into the color of white jade!

Lu Shu could not understand. Why had the gourd flown it? Furthermore, it seemed as if it was supposed to be there.

Back then, when the gourd had continuously been absorbing his celestial powers to nurture itself, Lu Shu had thought that it needed power.

Lu Shu had also considered why the gourd did not absorb Spirit Qi. Later on, he felt that it was because celestial powers provided more strength. When he thought about it again, it did not seem to make much sense.

The flying sword within the gourd had been obtained from a black market. Back then, Lu Shu had thought that the flying sword and the gourd were one entity. But there was a problem. After the gourd obtained the sword, not only was not unable to twist its head, it become more disobedient. It spent its time nurturing the sword.

Back then, Lu Shu had still expected it to be useful one day. But it had only been used to protect him from lightning!

Lu Shu said, “Xue Shengyou!”

Xue Shengyou, who was in the sky, suddenly seemed as if he could no longer resist. He lowered his head and flew to Lu Shu. Lu Shu could feel the troublesome gourd returning!

Not only was Lu Shu happy that the head-twisting gourd had reappeared, he was even more happy that Xue Shengyou was unable to resist his head-twisting gourd, even though he had just entered the master realm and had not suffered a lightning strike!

No matter whether it was the Cheng Ying sword or the Seizing Thief, although Lu Shu liked close combat, the head-twisting gourd was more aligned with his intentions. It was able to take the enemy by surprise!

Lu Shu emerged from the remains and flew into the air. The fallen strands of the Sparrow Shade flew into the sky and flanked Lu Shu’s sides.

Suddenly, Xue Shengyou felt his arm hurt. Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow, which had been hidden in his sleeve, were no longer under his control. Instead, they flew back to Lu Shu.

Lu Shu, who was surrounded by swords, was like a deity that had just arrived.

Sakurai Yaeko stood in the barrier of light and looked at Lu Shu. She was in a daze. This was the person she liked. Sakurai Yaeko never avoided the fact that she admired Lu Shu’s strength. It was a part of Lu Shu, right?

Sakurai Yaeko suddenly laughed. She did not need to use her life to protect Lu Shu.

She liked the feeling of being protected, not protecting others as the leader of the Collection of Gods. If she could stay at home, cook, and wait for her husband to return, it would be the best for her. After a busy day, her husband would return and say, “I’m home.” Just thinking about it made her happy…

Wait. This was not the time to think about this. Sakurai Yaeko turned red.

Lu Shu floated in the sky. He looked up at the lightning. He smiled at Xue Shengyou. “Let’s hurry up and finish this fight. I still need to take the divine punishment.”

Of course, he could not take the divine punishment in the city. It was on a scale that Lu Shu had never seen before. Nie Ting had received the divine punishment twice, but it had never been this grand.

If this divine punishment occurred in the city, all 310 thousand civilians in Hakodate would probably die.

Furthermore, Lu Shu was very interested in this divine punishment. He had 12 thousand sword prototypes in the Sea of Chi and snowy mountain. If he had 12 thousand lightning aurablades, even ordinary masters would be no match for him!

Who dared to provoke someone with divine lightning aurablades?!

Xue Shengyou laughed coldly. “Do you really think that I only have… ouch!”

Xue Shengyou suddenly coughed out blood. He looked at the black sword in his chest!

Lu Shu was dumbfounded as well. He saw Nie Ting, who had suddenly appeared behind Xue Shengyou!

Nie Ting, who was dressed in black robes, seemed to have suddenly appeared with the lightning. Then, he took the chance while Xue Shengyou was preparing and Lu Shu was talking to pierce through Xue Shengyou’s heart!

For some reason, every time Nie Ting appeared, Lu Shu felt that… even masters seemed weak.

Nie Ting calmly pushed Xue Shengyou aside. “You speak too much nonsense.”

Xue Shengyou’s corpse fell to the ground like a tattered cloth bag. Lu Shu was dumbfounded as he watched Shi Xuejin step out from a void. He curiously asked, “When did you come?”

“Oh.” Shi Xuejin smiled and said, “You Mingyu told us that you were in danger. We were having a discussion, but immediately rushed here.”

“Having a discussion? So why do you have a green onion in your hand?” Lu Shu was shocked.

Shi Xuejin suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to put down the green onion when he and Nie Ting rushed here…

On the other hand, Lu Shu suddenly realized that they had probably been eating when You Mingyu suddenly told them that Lu Shu was in danger. Furthermore, Lu Shu’s enemy was a master. They did not even have the time to put down the green onions before rushing here.

Furthermore, Nie Ting stole a life from him… Lu Shu did not even obtain the last distress points from Xue Shengyou…

Of course, Lu Shu was not ungrateful. It was good enough that they had come here to save him…
