Chapter 161: Chapter 137: Lu Wuqiang: Hand Over the Wind and Thunder Dual Swords, and I’ll Spare Your Life

As he spoke, he slapped his Storage Bag and took out a pair of Golden Melon Thunder Hammers.

He didn’t wield the hammers himself. Instead, with a grand wave of his hand, a pair of massive hands made of Magical Power materialized, hefted the hammers, and brought them crashing down toward Xiao Chen.

The moment they were raised, Xiao Chen felt as if he were locked in place, with no way to dodge.

The Golden Melon Thunder Hammers, it turned out, were also a Top Grade Magical Artifact.

At that moment, Xiao Chen sensed that something wasn’t right.

His opponent’s strange Spiritual Fire at the start, his special Yellow Turban Technique, and now this pair of Top Grade Magical Artifacts—none of these were things an ordinary Cultivator could possess.

Logically, a person like this should be a renowned Great Cultivator in the Azure Flame Sect.

’But when did I ever offend someone like that? I have no memory of it at all.’

Of course, that was a question to consider later.

Seeing the great hammers fall, Xiao Chen also drew his Donghua Thunder Sword. "Seven-Star Sword Technique—Kaiyang!"

A slight smile touched Lu Wuqiang’s lips when he saw this.

His pair of Golden Melon Thunder Hammers, combined with his Earth Level hammer technique, had always been invincible.

No one had ever dared to face him in a direct clash.

However, the greatest characteristics of the Kaiyang technique were its overwhelming might and power.

Though Xiao Chen wielded a sword, he didn’t lose any ground in the collision.

In fact, he directly shattered the massive hands of Magical Power his opponent had formed.

"What!"

Lu Wuqiang cried out in alarm.

Although he already knew Xiao Chen possessed Dual Swords, he had never expected his opponent to have such a formidable Sword Technique.

After just a few exchanges, not only had he failed to gain an advantage, but he found himself at a disadvantage at every turn.

Lu Wuqiang dared not be arrogant any longer. He hastily pointed a finger and shouted, "Fall!"

The Flowing Color Golden Light Pearl he had sent into the sky at the very beginning was both a measure to prevent his enemy’s escape and his greatest killing move.

This Top Grade Dharma Pearl was something he had started nurturing the very year he reached Foundation Establishment.

After more than a hundred years of being refined by his Magical Power, its might had long surpassed that of an ordinary Magical Artifact by several times.

Previously, when the Dark Hall was eliminating dissidents, a full five Foundation Establishment Cultivators had their skulls crushed by this Treasure Pearl, killed in a single strike.

Now, with a mere flicker of his thoughts, the pearl was already hurtling downward before his voice even faded, aiming straight for the top of Xiao Chen’s skull.

However, what Lu Wuqiang never expected happened.

With a RUSTLE, the Fringed Tassel Brocade Handkerchief above Xiao Chen’s head unfurled, wrapping itself directly around the Treasure Pearl.

Lu Wuqiang gaped in astonishment.

Xiao Chen, however, smiled faintly. "Surprised? I was ready for that move."

The reason he hadn’t used the handkerchief to block the Spiritual Fire earlier was that he, too, used to enjoy using the Golden Light Pearl given to him by Elder Chen, keeping it hovering in the air as a backup plan. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Unfortunately, that Golden Light Pearl was only a Middle Grade Magical Artifact and had gradually been relegated to his Storage Bag.

Lu Wuqiang gritted his teeth, his heart aching at the cost as he pulled a Talisman from within his robes. "By this Divine Talisman, I summon spirits and command generals!"

This was a Spirit Talisman the Azure Flame Sect had purchased at a staggering price.

’It was meant to be an extra life-saving measure for my time in Hezhou,’ he thought. ’I can’t believe I have to waste it here today.’

The words had barely left his lips when eighteen glittering Divine Generals appeared behind him, each one at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Lu Wuqiang shot Xiao Chen a hateful glare. "Kill him!"

The eighteen Divine Generals immediately closed in on him.

Then, Lu Wuqiang saw Xiao Chen take out a large banner over thirty feet tall.

With four consecutive waves of the flag, thirty-six Fire Soldiers appeared.

These Fire Soldiers also possessed the strength of the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, and they paired off to engage the Divine Generals in battle.

Lu Wuqiang finally panicked.

He had used every attack in his arsenal, yet Xiao Chen had neutralized them all.

"Impossible! How can you have so much Magical Power? That’s completely impossible!"

Simultaneously manipulating so many Top Grade Magical Artifacts, on top of using Magic...

Normally, Xiao Chen’s Magical Power should have been completely depleted by now.

How could he still summon so many Fire Soldiers?

’Is his Magical Power... inexhaustible?’

In a ruthless decision, Lu Wuqiang abandoned his Treasure Pearl and turned to flee.

In the next moment, he fell into complete despair. "You’re the Golden Light Wanderer!"

Relying on his Top Grade Magic Robe and four Tier-Two Defense Talismans, he struggled tenaciously for half an hour.

In the end, he was still beheaded by a single strike from Xiao Chen’s sword.
