Tian Du City.
The police station.
An officer was staring lazily at the screen. He was in a daze. This was summer, one often felt sleepy…
Suddenly…
He was startled by a glimpse of the screen out of the corner of his eye.
Eh?
He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he might have seen it wrong. However, what was scary was that no matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, those things still remained there!
On the detection screen.
Numerous spots appeared on the screen, covering it like locusts!
The employee was shocked.
What was happening?!
Shush!
He quickly expanded the detector to its maximum range and realized that the spots of lights were approaching Tian Du City at an alarming speed!
The speed was shocking!
This was… an attack on the city!
. com
Beasts attacking the city!
The staff member turned green. He did not hesitate to press the button, sounding the highest level of alarm.
“Ooo—”
“Ooo—”
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
Everyone in the police station woke up at this moment and saw the warning code. They quickly checked the screen and felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
“There is serious trouble!”
“Damn it!”
“How dare they attack Tian Du City?!”
Everyone was shocked.
It was true.
Ever since the period of peace had begun, it had been very long since they witnessed such a sight. They did not expect that beasts would try to attack the city!
Were they crazy?!
“I remember the last time something of this scale happened. It was when The First Academy trampled by herds of bulls and the walls collapsed.”
“Yes.”
“But that incident paled in comparison with this. I have worked here for twenty years. I have never seen such a large-scale beasts tide!”
The police officers were stunned.
Apart from them, the presidents of all the associations had received a mandatory order to lead the elite disciples of the associations to assist them in the battle with the beasts!
…
Somewhere.
A huge mountain range trembled.
The cultivators who walked past were very calm. The mountain would shake and tremble every day in a regular pattern. They were accustomed to it.
According to rumors…
A terrifying beast was being suppressed there. The beast could not take it lying down and it would struggle madly daily. This explained the tremors in the mountain.
However…
Today…
After shaking briefly, the mountain kept rising two meters into the sky… They saw a middle-aged man coming out from the foot of the mountain.
He had actually raised the mountain range with his hands.
“You are preventing me from doing deep squats…”
The middle-aged man sighed.
Shush!
He turned into a streak of light and disappeared. The mountain fell back in place and no tremors could be felt anymore.
Everyone was speechless.
…
Somewhere.
In a land of flames.
The intense flame condensed into a graceful human form. The body was covered with a fiery red robe.
“An enemy attack?
“Interesting.
“How many years has it been since we last encountered this?”
She chuckled.
…
Right then…
The presidents and higher-ups of all the associations, as well as the cultivators who were in retreat or a deep sleep in Tian Du City jolted awake in that instant, returning to their associations right away!
Bang!
A beam of light soared up.
There was a three dimensional holographic screen in Tian Du City, displaying the highest alert message. It could be seen by everyone in the city.
At this moment…
There was a glaring alert on the screen.
The alarm kept blinking.
Shush!
Red lights flashed.
Shush!
Blue lights flashed!
The entire city was covered in lights.
This was the first time that the original bustling streets became quiet, devoid of any residents. Everyone had gone to the nearby malls or rooms to avoid the crisis.
Tian Du City was preparing for war!
…
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming had received the order as well. As the Sword Card Master Association president, he had to go this time! This was the obligation of every association!
“Are they preparing for battle?”
Lu Ming looked grim.
He did not expect to see this kind of high level alert in Tian Du City! Normally, Tian Du City was the safest of all the cities?!
The place was full of seven-star big-shots!
If there was an attack, didn’t it mean that the enemies were seven-stars as well?!
That was possible!
At the thought of this, Lu Ming was in a dismal mood.
He did not expect that…
After leaving Qing Ming City, he would still encounter battles of this scale! If anything went wrong, everything that he had would turn into ashes!
After all…
This was war!
“Master…”
Xiaobai nudged Lu Ming.
She was slightly worried for her master.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming touched her little head.
“I want to go too,” Xiaobai said in a very serious manner.
She did not participate in the previous fights as she believed that her master could deal with it. However, this time it was a seven-star beasts tide. She had to accompany her master!
“Be good.”
Lu Ming rubbed her little head. “If you go, I will be distracted.”
“You won’t.”
Xiaobai thought about it.
“Master!
“I’m very capable.”
Xiaobai waved her small, gentle fists. “Hmm… if a battle breaks out, I can defeat many people, including my stupid father!”
“Really?”
Lu Ming laughed involuntarily.
“I am serious.”
Xiaobai nodded vigorously.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
If Xiaobai came…
It seemed feasible.
Lu Ming pondered carefully. If the situation was very critical, the place where all the presidents were would be the safest. After all, all of them were seven-star!
If anything happened there…
What could they do by staying at the Sword Card Master Association?
“Alright, let’s go together.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai was elated.
Her master did not seem to believe her words…
However…
Well…
Anyway, it was fine as long as her master allowed her to go!
…
“Master.”
Li Haoran was worried. “We…”
“You have to stay.”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears. “All of us can’t possibly leave! Don’t worry. All of you should stay at the association and keep it running. You have to take care of these spirit bodies. If I really need your help, i will call for you!”
“Understood!”
The disciples looked solemn.
However…
They knew very well that they did not have this chance!
They were too weak!
Look at the people who had joined the battle!
They were the presidents of all the associations!
Seven-stars and above!
What about their elite disciples?
Seven-stars…
Their least powerful cultivators were peak six-stars!
The strongest cultivator in the Sword Card Master Association was merely a six-star, as well as Zhong Chu who theoretically could reach seven-star but was in fact still an intermediate six-star!
What was the use of this?
They would only become cannon fodder if they joined the battle!
“Besides…
“You don’t have to worry.”
Lu Ming smiled. “This is only an alert to get ready for battle. The enemy might be very weak.”
“Okay.”
The disciples heaved a sigh of relief.
Right then.
Dee! Dee! Dee!
Lu Ming’s communication device kept sounding.
“Eh?”
Lu Ming took a look. It was Wu Hongfei!
Yo.
It had been very long since he had seen this Cleric…
“Lu Ming.
“I heard that something happened where you are!”
Wu Hongfei was very anxious. “Are you okay?”
“I am fine.”
Lu Ming was grateful.
In the end…
He was a friend indeed.
Now that he thought about it, he and Wu Hongfei had known each other for so long. They had been through many events together. He did not expect that he would be the first person to show concern!
It was heartwarming.
“That’s good.”
Wu Hongfei heaved a sigh of relief.
“What have you been up to recently?”
Lu Ming asked instinctively.
“It is better not to elaborate further.”
Wu Hongfei sighed deeply. “I was trapped in the World of Darkness and Shadows when I participated in the graduation assessment. I went through a lot and finally came out…
“Damn!
“If I find out who is behind all of this…
“I will kill him sooner or later!”
Wu Hongfei was furious.
Lu Ming felt a little guilty.
Oh.
It turned out that he was trapped inside…
“Cough, well, Old Wu, I am very busy, let’s chat some other time.”
Lu Ming coughed.
“Understood.”
Wu Hongfei was very understanding. “Don’t worry. I heard from my friends that the situation is not very serious. It is estimated that the enemy is not very powerful…”
“Thank you.”
Lu Ming felt gratified.
Look.
It was good to have classmates. However, Lu Ming was suddenly reminded of Wu Hongfei’s habit of making inauspicious remarks and he came to his senses. “Stop that!”
Wu Hongfei was unhappy.
“Lu Ming!
“Don’t you trust me?!
“I think of you as a friend! In this world, there’s nothing like a person who makes inauspicious remarks! So what if I said that the enemy does not pose a serious threat?!”
Wu Hongfei was infuriated.
It was true.
What did this have to do with him?
This was the official report provided by his friend who worked at the police station. Although there were many enemies, most of them were five-star or six-star!
Currently…
There were no big shots among them!
Besides, even if there was a seven-star right there, the overall estimated strength would not be too high!
What was there to be afraid of?
Therefore, he did not believe that his words of comfort would change the events!
However…
As soon as he finished his words…
“Dee—Dee—”
The towering holographic three-dimensional image suddenly flashed madly. The average estimated strength of the enemies were shown on the screen, and the information changed instantly!
Intermediate five-stars!
Peak five-stars!
Beginner six-stars!
Peak six-stars!
Seven-stars!
…
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Seven…
Seven-stars?!
Their combat capabilities were seven-star on average! Damn, what did this mean?! It was possible that the thousands of enemies who were attacking the city had an average of seven-star combat capabilities!?
This…
“Damn it!”
Wu Hongfei could not help but swear.
Bam!
Lu Ming switched off the communication device without any hesitation.
“Let’s go!”
He and Xiaobai hurried to Tian Du City.
Things seemed to have changed for the worse.
…
“Master…”
Li Haoran and the rest watched in silence.
They could only watch silently as Lu Ming and Xiaobai left…
They felt an inexplicable sadness.
Zhao Yunshan watched Lu Ming’s back in silence. He turned and went back to the cultivation room. He gritted his teeth and began to cultivate. He had to become stronger!
The rest of them glanced at each other and went back.
That day…
The entire Sword Card Master Association was madly cultivating!
…
Tian Du City.
The combat conference room.
The presidents and higher-ups of various associations had arrived.
Perhaps…
This was the first time they had such a large scale meeting in the past couple centuries. The police officers had never seen such a large number of seven-star big shots!
After all…
Their hearts were with this city.
For those associations that did not have any seven-stars, their least powerful cultivators were peak six-stars!
However…
Right then…
Everyone rested their eyes on two people who had just entered the room.
Well…
The president and vice president of the Sword Card Master Association.
All the associations were shocked.
This name was widely searched on the Internet recently. For people who always stayed indoors, they had heard of this association as well. But they had never imagined that the president would be…
A four-star!
Yes.
He was only four-star!
All the associations looked at each other.
Uh…
Was this the president who created the card spirit?
Was this the Sword Card Master Association that could affect all other associations?!
As expected…
This was merely an influencer association!
Hence…
The big shots cast strange looks at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming could not be bothered. With Brother Cat around, even if they had razor-like eyes, it was useless! He did not fear them!
However…
He knew that he would only assist in this battle.
Hence…
Lu Ming went to the corner with Xiaobai. They sat there silently as the big-shots discussed the various tactics, their past experience as well as the number of invaders.
Suddenly…
The chief of operations spoke up as he was suddenly reminded of something.
“Oh, right.
“I remembered the recent largest battle was at Qing Ming City. I know that it was Lu Ming who resolved it. Can you tell us what happened?”
Shush!
Everyone turned to look at Lu Ming.
“The mysterious Swordsman!
“Flash.
“Am I right?”
The chief glanced at Lu Ming. “Although Qing Ming City told the rest of the cities that it was resolved by a mysterious Swordsman, the police officers knew that you were the one who resolved it.
“Please come up to give us a report.”
Lu Ming could only smile bitterly.
To hell with giving a report!
How should he report that?!
Should he tell them that he was the one who started the beasts tide?! That there was no beasts tide at all? That he was the one who sent the beasts there?
Cough.
If he said that, he would be beaten to death!
Well…
Should he fabricate a story?
Lu Ming felt that given his more than ten years experience of reading Qi Dian [1. Qi Dian is a Chinese platform offering all kinds of web novels of different genres] novels, he would be able to come up with an interesting story easily…
However…
Would the big shots believe him?
No!
They were not readers of pornographic materials! They were peak six-stars who were seven-star-to-be as well as seven-star cultivators!
They could tell with one glance if he was lying or not!
Especially when there were many cultivators and big shots who were proficient in elements or psychology. They could tell from his aura that he was lying. There was no way to hide it from them!
What should he do?!
Lu Ming was worried.
“I will do it.”
Xiaobai pressed Lu Ming’s hands and comforted him. “Master, take it easy. I am here.”
With that…
Xiaobai went on stage and began to speak about what happened seriously.
What happened was recorded in the files of the Sword Card Master Association. Every disciple of the Sword Card Master Association must know the details known only to insiders by heart—”The Untold Stories of Sword Card Master: Style and Charisma of a Sword Technique — Ferocious Beast Tide Storm”!
That day.
Heaven and earth changed and the beasts came surging.
…
Xiaobai told everyone what happened, painting a vivid and colorful picture.
From the appearance of the beasts to the appearance of the mysterious Swordsman Flash that pierced through the leader of the beasts with one sword to how the rest of the beasts retreated, she recounted every detail to them.
Well…
It was Li Haoran who had written it.
In order to be more realistic, Li Haoran even went to the scene to look around…
The big shots in the audience were very serious as they listened to Xiaobai.
In the meantime…
Someone specially observed the young lady.
Well…
She was not lying!
Although it was very easy for them to resolve a beasts tide of this scale, for Lu Ming and the rest, it required great courage to do that!
In that case…
It was no wonder he was the president!
Besides…
They had heard of Lu Ming’s legend of how he skipped a level in combat…
“Not bad.”
The big shots cast him a glance of approval.
Lu Ming felt guilty.
Xiaobai’s story provided them with some suggestions. Therefore, the big shots decided to wait for the beasts to attack the city before they joined hands to kill the leader of the beasts!
Well…
The seven-star and above presence!
If the big shots joined hands, there would be absolutely no problem!
Hence…
When they detected that the beasts were approaching, everyone went to the city walls of Tian Du City, getting ready to fight!
They would wait for the leader to appear!
Afterward…
When they finally detected the leader of the enemy, everyone sunk into collective silence! The seven-star big shots were frightened as well.
Bang!
Bang!
The earth kept shaking.
The sky was thrown into darkness.
The terrifying figure of the enemy appeared. Its humongous figure covered the entire sky, blocking everyone’s sight. Tian Du City was enveloped in darkness. It seemed as if it was doomsday.
Bang!
Bang!
The huge figure approached them step by step.
Even the seven-star big shots could not help but swallow their saliva, taking a step back.
To hell with it!
This size…
It was about half the size of Tian Du City!
To hell with it!
What level was the enemy at?
Everyone was fearful.
“This enemy…”
Lu Ming’s heart was heavy.
He knew that this might be the most terrifying enemy that he had ever encountered!
It was very powerful!
This time…
He might be in serious trouble!
Brother Cat?
He instinctively wanted to call for Brother Cat. However, within the Sea of Consciousness, the black cat turned over lazily, licked its hair and went back to sleep…
Brother Cat was not willing to help either?
Lu Ming clenched his fists.
“Master?”
Xiaobai could tell that Lu Ming was worried. She pinched the corner of his shirt and puffed her chest proudly. “I am here!”
Lu Ming took a glance.
He sighed.
It was not comforting at all…
However…
He felt an inexplicable feeling of assurance.
“Yes.”
He smiled and held Xiaobai’s hands.
Fine, if this is a desperate struggle…
Shush!
He took out some cards.
“F-fight the enemy?”
The chief of operations said anxiously.
“No!”
The big shots had broken out in a cold sweat. They wiped their perspiration. “It did not harbor any evil intentions. Let’s wait first… A powerful enemy of this level is capable of critical thinking. Let’s see what it wants.”
Hence…
The big shots watched as the terrifying figure closed in.
Step by step…
Step by step…
It walked towards the towering city wall of Tian Du City.
Afterward…
It got down to their eye level.
→_→
Shush!
The huge figure swept its cold gaze over every cultivator, seven-star, six-star, and it finally fixed its eyes on Lu Ming.
“Hello, Lu Ming.”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck. Who was this???
“My name is Xiaoxue.
“You may not know me but it’s okay.
“Since you are the one who founded the Sword Card Master Association, the responsibility and honor will be yours.
“Take this.
“Crush it and I can do one thing for you.”
A crystal clear snowflake floated down from the huge figure.
It was very beautiful.
Upon finishing its words…
The figure turned and left amidst loud booming sounds…
Lu Ming watched from afar. Its back seemed to be somewhat familiar. He took a closer look and gasped a breath of cold air. Its back…
It was the snow-capped mountain!!!
Yes.
The snow mountain had come out by itself!
“Rumor has it that there was a spirit in the snow mountain. It seems that it is indeed true.”
“It seems that the mysterious technique of the Sword Card Master has awakened it and it is here to repay the favor.”
“Is the mysterious technique really effective?”
“Of course not. The snow spirit has been in a deep sleep for ages. They were too loud with their recitation. There was an avalanche and they recited for three days and nights, waking it up.”
The cultivators’ expressions froze.
Alright.
Perhaps that could be considered as waking it up as well?
However, in that case, did it mean that this big shot was there merely due to a coincidence? It was only there to repay Lu Ming’s favor!
At the thought of this…
The big shots heaved a sigh of relief.
The presence must have been around for ages. It was best to not offend it.
Fortunately…
They did not take action.
This was what they thought.
However…
They cast unfriendly glances at Lu Ming. Damn it! Did this mean that Lu Ming was the one who had created the so-called beast tide?!
Was this a joke?!
“Lu Ming!”
A seven-star big shot rushed over in anger.
This was infuriating!
“What did you say?”
Lu Ming flipped the crystal clear snowflake.
The big shot who charged over stiffened and he helped arrange Lu Ming’s shirt. “The collar is slanted. You are a president. You must mind your appearance.”
Everyone was speechless.
“Thank you.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
“Stop it.”
The chief of operations sounded angry. He looked into the far distance. “The snow spirit is a coincidence. But the rest of the beasts are not. Although they are not seven-stars, many of them are peak six-stars. They are large in number. This is a beast tide! Regardless, this is a disaster for Tian Du City!
“Remember!
“Never let them in!
“Even if one barges into Tian Du City, it will cause a huge disaster!” the chief of operations said.
“Understood.”
Everyone looked grim.
“Dee—”
“Dee—”
The alarm kept sounding.
The red dots on the detector flashed. They came all the way to Tian Du City, going around the mountain range, followed by the surge of a terrifying aura, rushing toward the crowd.
“It’s coming!”
People were already clinging to their weapons.
However…
When they came into sight, everyone was stunned! All the red dots were not beasts but…
Spirit bodies!
There were all kinds of spirit bodies!
Every figure had an amazing brilliance!
At this moment…
All of them had come at once.
After which, they stopped and looked at the people at the city wall. They swept their gazes over seven-star and six-star big shots, eventually fixing their gazes onto Lu Ming again.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
The spirit bodies knelt down in unison.
“Greetings to the president!”
The spirits shouted in unison, each conveying a clear thought and thousands of condensed thoughts, creating a very sensational effect and heard by all of them!
It was shocking!
Lu Ming was speechless.
