Blades and violence. These were how the cultivation world was supposed to be like. On the other hand, love, hatred, emotions and feelings were nothing but pathetic condiments to flavor the taste of blood.

Lu Shu had long since been familiarized with Li Xianyi’s 13-letter mnemonic rhyme. But the art of swordplay was ever changing. Lu Shu had been wanting to escape the restriction of the rhyme following Hai Gongzi’s teaching, but he had never gotten the chance to practice what he had learned in actual combat.

When the Department of Faith Theory launched their attack, there were still hundreds of them alive. Like a small boat in a heavy sea, Lu Shu’s life was almost hanging on a thread.

There came the heavy footsteps again. Lu Shu was way too familiar with that sound, which was produced by Francesco’s clandestine technique used to retrain and manipulate Lu Shu’s heart, blood vessels, and even his 36,000 pores.

A blade thrust in from the side. Lu Shu lowered his waist and lifted his sword, splitting the aggressor’s cross sword into halves. The Cheng Ying sword was invisible. Hence, no one knew how the man died.

Lu Shu’s move was crisp and sharp. It was as though he was breaking a chopstick. Clean and easy.

The Department’s cross swords had always been the supreme standard weapon in Europe. But it was broken into halves by the invisible blade in Lu Shu’s hands effortlessly.

“Attack in groups!” the commander shouted calmly in the night’s rain.

Lu Shu could feel the restraint over his body tightening. Now he was like a prey in the face of hundreds of hunters.

Someone mocked him coldly from the back of the team, “We want Coral. Not you. We won’t hurt you if you step out of our way. There have been so many people who have died for beauties. Why do you wish to join the line?”

“Screw you!” Lu Shu lifted his Cheng Ying sword slowly. Instantly blasts of energy erupted from him. It was the sword energy!

This move of his was unexpected. His goal was clear – he wanted to kill!

But when everyone was too caught up with the sword energy, Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow flew out of Lu Shu’s body secretly. They skimmed across the puddles on the floor, thrusting towards the speaker’s legs like a wave-breaking motor boat.

Before the man could react, his legs had been cleanly chopped off!

“Kill them!” The Class B expert was embarrassed and furious. Who would have expected that this man would chop off his legs in front of so many people in the blink of an eye!

Trapped in the crowd, Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow were unable to return to Lu Shu in time. Suddenly the silver glow intensified around Lu Shu. Under the increased pressure, Lu Shu found it hard to even lift his hand.

The cross swords slashed across the air. Light flickered on their blades. The passengers in the train started to get nervous, but they saw the young man remained standing, despite his apparent exhaustion and his injuries.

At this critical moment, a flash of lightning, sharp as a scalpel, accurately hit the silver glow between Lu Shu and the Department of Faith Theory. The glow had been destroyed.

Lu Shu was very familiar with the lightning. It was the Gungnir. Only the Gungnir could be so decisive and powerful.

At that instant, Lu Shu was relieved that he had broken free. But in the Department of Faith Theory, everyone’s expression changed, as though the failure of their technique had resulted in them suffering from their spell backfiring!

However… only Lu Shu seemed to have realized the thick cracks on Gungnir. It was also at that second when Lu Shu finally understood why Coral was in an unfit state!
