Divine Card Creator-Chapter 458 - Like The Rumors Said, Lu Ming Was Kind-hearted And Sincere.
The man in black was dead.
How did he die?
He was replenished with too much energy and he died…
His energy had already reached the limit but Lu Ming passed another current through him and he exceeded his limit and exploded. Nothing was left of him.
In the end, his foundation was too weak.
Oo…
Lu Ming flipped the Sunlight Card in his hands.
In the end…
He did not use it.
It was not a problem to use the Sunlight Card on An Mingdong. However, it would not be good if this card strengthened and enhanced him, helping An Mingdong to recover…
There would be trouble if he ran away.
Since he was the main culprit, he must be very valuable.
If he brought him to the Swordsman Association, he would be well compensated.
Lu Ming put the Sunlight Card away. He would test it when he returned.
In front of him, An Mingdong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was given a big fright. He thought that…
“Are you okay?”
Lu Ming looked toward Meng Shisan.
“Yes.”
Meng Shisan nodded slightly and he was full of emotions. “I didn’t expect you to be that powerful…”
Lu Ming: →_→.
Whatever.
Right now, it was unnecessary for him to respond.
The Swordsmen cast admiring gazes at Lu Ming. He defeated An Mingdong and the man in black. His combat abilities were far beyond their imagination!
“Get them!” Meng Shisan barked, giving orders to capture the remaining men in black.
Bang!
The Swordsmen attacked and captured them.
The men in black glanced at Lu Ming, not daring to resist. Lu Ming had killed their boss. It was pointless to resist now.
The men in black who created trouble in the fallen land were captured.
“Humph!
“You will be severely punished when we return.”
Meng Shisan sneered.
The Swordsmen hated people who betrayed them!
When they returned, they would expose their schemes! He believed the higher-ups would be very interested.
They tied up the men in black.
“The ancient Sword Embryo is very precious…”
An Mingdong suddenly said, “It is very powerful.”
His implied meaning was obvious.
The Swordsman Association definitely wanted it! What about Lu Ming? As the most powerful person among them, Lu Ming would want the Sword Embryo as well?! Therefore…
If they fought against each other…
Hehe.
An Mingdong sneered.
However…
Meng Shisan cast him an indifferent glance, taking off his socks and stuffed it inside his mouth.
“Oh??!!”
An Mingdong widened his eyes.
Immediately afterward…
He rolled his eyes and fainted.
“Damn it! You’re too talkative!”
Meng Shisan sneered and turned to speak to Lu Ming. “You can take the ancient Sword Embryo.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was surprised. “Me?”
“Yes,” Meng Shisan said in a low voice. “When we return, no one will know what happened. The big shots would not give up on such a valuable item. Therefore…
“You might as well take it.”
“Right!”
The Swordsmen agreed.
Although they wanted the Sword Embryo as well, they knew very well that it belonged to Lu Ming! He had saved their lives and he was the most powerful cultivator among them.
“No need.
“Although I want to have it as well…”
Lu Ming laughed involuntarily. “The ancient Sword Embryo is after all a Swordsman legacy. I am a Sword Card Master. It would be bad if my vocation core was turned to a Sword Embryo by force.
“So you should have it.
“If you turn it over to the association, you can exchange it for points and let me have the points,” Lu Ming said calmly.
He was serious.
Legacy?
He had many of them…
He had many card series and he had yet to study the entire Lunar Shadow legacy… Right now, he had too much to study. He had no time to study another legacy!
Besides, it might affect his vocation core!
He would not welcome this kind of strange item. Before he was certain of its functions, he would not take it!
And that Sword Embryo, for some unknown reasons, he had an odd feeling about it.
Besides…
The thing about ancient legacies was that they might not be a good thing. It might be possible that it was illiterate, had an accent and was stupid…
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
It felt that Lu Ming was insinuating something.
“Thank you!”
The Swordsmen were grateful.
It was risky of them to offer Lu Ming the Sword embryo.
However, he did not want it at all!
This was a magnificent ancient Sword Embryo, it contained a legacy that might help one become a seven-star!!! Lu Ming was generous enough to give it to them…
He was too kind-hearted!
True enough, like the rumors said, Lu Ming was kind-hearted and sincere. They felt ashamed.
An Mingdong was dumbstruck by the scene in front of him. This was an ancient Sword Embryo, yet they were pushing it around… What the hell was happening?
This was an ancient Sword Embryo!
That was something that might help them to become a seven-star!
Seven-stars!
Grandmaster!
Did they know what those were?
An Mingdong was baffled.
“Oo… Oo…”
He very much wanted to say something.
Meng Shisan stuffed the socks further inside his mouth and sneered. “There is something in this world that is much more important than one’s abilities!!”
All his life, he had been cultivating and practicing swordplays, doing what his heart told him to do!
He was open and honest!
If he did something that he should not do, he would think of it when he woke up in the middle of the night.
“There is no way to return this huge favor,” Meng Shisan told Lu Ming, sounding very solemn.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming’s expression was calm.
The Swordsmen pulled out an ancient Sword Embryo.
However…
They had just gotten near, when they felt the bitter cold.
Near the Sword Embryo was an endless chill and destructive energy. It was many times more dangerous than the bloodied area they had first gone through!!!
After all…
If it was that easy, An Mingdong would have pulled it out long ago.
“This energy…”
Meng Shisan frowned. “This energy is too messy, we need to temper it…
“Mental strength…
“Sword Intent…
“Energy…
“Three very different forces are mixed together…
“It is very dangerous!” Meng Shisan said with a low voice.
“Can it be purified?”
Lu Ming guessed.
“I’m afraid not.”
Meng Shisan sighed. The energy was too powerful. It could not be purified simply through a Purification Card. However, if all of them joined hands…
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
“If we want to have the ancient Sword Embryo, we must clear the surroundings of all energy.
“I feel that…
“Instead of dispelling it, we can temper and use it… It just so happens that there are many of us and we can temper it! After tempering, we won’t be able to significantly increase our abilities if we absorb the energy. Why don’t we give the purest energy to Lu Ming?”
Meng Shisan suggested.
“Okay,” the Swordsmen agreed.
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was puzzled.
“You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Meng Shisan looked at Lu Ming. “We will take the ancient Sword Embryo, you will absorb the energy surrounding us. In this case, we will feel much better.
“After all…
“We are the ones who owe you a favor.”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears. This was not very fair.
“Please accept the energy,” the Swordsmen said earnestly.
“Alright.”
After refusing once, Lu Ming reluctantly agreed.
Hence…
The Swordsmen worked to purify the energy.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Lu Ming clearly saw how their surging Sword Auras tempered the surrounding energy. The energy was tempered and purified again and again. Eventually, it became extremely pure.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The Swordsmen directed the energy toward Lu Ming.
Buzz—
Lu Ming sat cross-legged, receiving it passively.
After a long while…
When the energy around the ancient Sword Embryo was cleaned up and the destructive aura was completely removed, Lu Ming had become a peak five-star!
Bang!
Energy surged.
His abilities had risen to another level!
Peak five-star!
He…
He had finally reached this level!
However…
The Swordsmen still felt guilty.
“Why is it only at peak five-star?”
“Eh, I guess the energy here is less strong than we imagined.”
“It is such a pity.”
“Perhaps after we tempered the energy, it was significantly reduced!”
“That is possible. Sigh, I thought that Lu Ming could become a six-star and we could return the favor. Now it seems that we have to wait till the next time…”
“True.”
The Swordsmen sighed.
It was not considered an increase to improve from advanced five-star to peak five-star.
“Sorry.”
Meng Shisan felt bad about it. “If you need me to help you with anything in the future, just tell me and I will do it.”
“Uh—”
Lu Ming scratched his head. “I have improved a lot.”
What he said was true.
His one hundred thousand points of energy was enhanced to peak five-star in one shot!
As dozens of peak six-star Swordsmen used their purest Sword Auras to temper the energy, hence it was different from usual.
It was solid.
It was stable.
It was already very powerful!
“No need to lie, we know the truth.”
The Swordsmen nodded.
Lu Ming was obviously worried that they would feel guilty and he consoled them instead. At the thought of this, they felt even more sorry.
They were determined to have Lu Ming as their friend.
After a long while…
Meng Shisan went to pull out the Sword Embryo.
Ding—
There was a crisp and clear sound.
He easily pulled it out.
Without the surrounding energy, the ancient Sword Embryo seemed to be very calm. There was only a trace of an ancient majestic aura on it.
Well…
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
This Sword Embryo…
Forget it.
He shook his head, feeling puzzled.
“Shall we go?” Meng Shisan said.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Their adventure was not considered very long, but it was very tiring.
It was better to end it as soon as possible.
After a long while…
Meng Shisan opened up a passageway, leading them towards the exit. According to the original plan, dozens of sword gleams wrapped around them, taking them away!!!
Finally, it was over!
Their mission at the legacy site was completed. Lu Ming was satisfied with the outcome. Humph… Jiang Feng had the impression that he was always demolishing things…
Was he that kind of person?
Look, he had not torn down anything!!!
He came up with a perfect solution!
Swoosh!
Sword gleams surged.
The sword gleams of the Swordsmen surrounded them, taking everyone away.
Suddenly…
An even more powerful sword gleam swung over them.
It integrated with the sword gleams of the Swordsmen, releasing terrifying forces, twisting all the sword gleams by force, bringing them in another direction…
Swoosh!
Cold lights flashed.
By the time Lu Ming and the rest reacted, they had returned to reality!
Whoosh—
Cold winds were howling.
There was a snowstorm surrounding them.
Meng Shisan and the group merely looked around and they felt cold all over.
Damn it…
This was not the place they had originally set off from!!!
Off in the distance, there were no veterans from the Swordsman Association to welcome them. There was only an old man in black, sweeping his cold gaze over everyone.
“Senior!”
An Mingdong was elated.
“Yes.”
The elder nodded slightly and waved his hands.
Shush!
A terrifying river of swords flashed.
An Mingdong and the men in black were dragged towards him.
The ancient Sword Embryo that Meng Shisan and the rest took great pains to wrap was being taken away as well. Dozens of them could not fight against the force!
“You…”
Meng Shisan and the rest stared at him with fear in their eyes.
“Haha.”
The elder merely smiled, sweeping his gaze over them.
After a long while…
He looked to An Mingdong again. “Where is he?”
“Dead.
“He was killed by Lu Ming.”
An Mingdong said in a quivering voice. “It’s the truth. All the men in black can prove it! Lu Ming is too powerful. He helped me but in the end…”
The elder fell silent.
Crash!
He threw the ancient Sword Embryo to An Mingdong.
Afterward…
He rested his cold and aloof gaze onto Lu Ming and the rest of the group. “I guess they will have to pay with their lives.”
With that… he released his aura.
Bang!
The aura of a grandmaster suddenly erupted.
Pfft!
All the Swordsmen spat out mouthfuls of blood, kneeling on the ground, not daring to move. Meng Shisan could barely move, not to mention retaliate!
Grandmaster…
This was a grandmaster’s aura!!!
Seven-star…
No!
He might be above seven-star!
“Eight-star?!
“You…
“You are…?!”
Meng Shisan turned icy cold.
Eight-star.
Damn it!
Hell… what kind of ability is this!
“You shouldn’t have killed my son.”
The old man said calmly, “It is very difficult to groom a loyal child.”
“We are done for.”
Meng Shisan shut his eyes.
They were done for!
He knew that they would die here.
Their opponent was not An Mingdong or the men in black. It was the mastermind behind all this! He was the real grandmaster!!! Faced with such an enemy…
He had lost his fighting will.
He could not even move. How could he fight?!
“Ahhh—”
He roared.
However…
Under the repressive force of the elder, he could not even move his body. No matter how hard he tried, he was held down by force!
This was a Swordsman grandmaster!
This was an eight-star!
“Prepare to die!”
The old man looked indifferent.
His gaze was calm. He stared at them as if they were ants. It did not matter if it was Meng Shisan or Lu Ming…
After all…
They were merely ants.
Shush!
He lifted his hand.
Lu Ming looked at him and at An Mingdong. His expression was strange. Suddenly, Xiao-Xiaojian shook and Lu Ming finally understood what was going on.
“Senior!”
Lu Ming suddenly smiled. “Before I came, my sister told me she would give me a present.”
The old man swept his gaze over him.
Lu Yan?
Oh.
He had heard of her.
She was a six-star genius. It was said that she was quite powerful… So what?
Thinking of threatening him using Lu Yan?
That was ridiculous!
Even if Lu Yan was there, he would simply kill her as well!
His hand fell gently as he was getting ready to kill everyone.
“I just want to say…”
Lu Ming smiled. “You would like my sister’s gift.”
Eh?
The old man frowned and was about to say something.
Suddenly…
Poof!
There was a faint sound.
He lowered his head. A long sword pierced through his chest, revealing an ancient aura… It was the ancient Sword Embryo that had just been pulled out…
He turned around.
An Mingdong held the ancient Sword Embryo, his face full of horror.
Obviously, he had no idea why the Sword Embryo in his hands would suddenly lose control.
“Heh.
“Is this your hidden trump card?
“It seems that…
“You have gotten the ancient Sword Embryo in advance?”
The elder suddenly smiled.
The sword stabbed his chest.
It was painful.
However…
He still looked calmly at Lu Ming. “Your tricks are much more powerful than I imagined. However, you are too naive…
“Who told you…
“That you can kill a grandmaster with this method…”
He looked cold and aloof, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
“I don’t know.”
Lu Ming sighed. “However…”
Click!
Click!
There was a crisp sound.
A crack suddenly appeared where the ancient Sword Embryo had pierced through the elder’s chest. A touch of bright blue light began to shine…
“That familiar glow…
“That aura…
“Lu Yan!!!”
Xiaowu suddenly became excited. He had seen that aura before! The last time he was stabbed, it was by this aura. It was exactly the same!
However, he was somewhat lost.
It turned out that…
He was not the only person that Lu Yan stabbed with her sword.
“This is…”
Lu Ming swept his gaze over it and his countenance changed. “Run!”
Shush!
He turned and ran without any hesitation.
Xiaowu and the rest only saw Lu Yan’s aura, however, Lu Ming clearly recognized the shining sword gleam…
Crap!
Damn Xiao-Xiaolan!
This is self-destruction!
True enough.
He had just run a couple meters…
Bang!!!
Lights dazzled!
The ground trembled!
A blue mushroom cloud suddenly rose to the sky, sweeping the entire mountain range. No one was spared including Lu Ming, Meng Shisan, and the men in black!
Bang!
Everybody was blown away!
In the endless blue lights, the elder who was at the center of the explosion felt his brain buzz as his organs suffered a devastating blow!
He was dumbstruck.
He stared in disbelief at the Sword Embryo that integrated with the ancient aura, releasing endless blue lights into his body… Then, he finally came to his senses.
Oh.
Lu Yan’s Sword…
He, who was a veteran grandmaster and an eight-star Swordsman, the elder of the Swordsman Association… was stabbed by a twenty year old lady and it exploded inside of him…
…
