From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 828 - 487: Trap and Breakthrough

The Earth Flame Pillar is the largest space within the Bloodline Clan’s subterranean caves, reaching a height of a thousand meters.

Lu Heng leapt from the top of the cave, diving towards the Blood Sacrifice Tower, unleashing the Star Realm Sword Saint class ability, and the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash sliced downward.

Roar!

The wind dragon howled, and the space of the four corners of the world distorted under the compression of the star realm strength.

The sword light slashed towards the Blood Sacrifice Tower, triggering a thundering sound of space shattering.

Just as the sword light was about to cut into the Blood Sacrifice Tower, the Bloodline Wizard Klidor within the tower straightened up and raised the bone wand in his hand with a shout.

A powerful force surged out from the Blood Sacrifice Tower, shaking the earth as if a Demon God was roaring from beneath.

Surging blood light gushed from the tower to meet the Wind Dragon Sword Light, and the two energies collided fiercely.

The Blood Sacrifice Tower, relying on the energy of the Blood Pool connected to the earth, withstood the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash.

Immediately after.

The Bloodline Wizard Klidor wielded the bone wand, releasing the Bloodline Ancestor statue.

A death ray shot from the statue, piercing Lu Heng’s body in an instant.

Lu Heng’s body quickly disintegrated in the death ray, dissipating in mid-air.

Immediately after.

The entirety of the Earth Flame Pillar awakened, and countless Bloodline Demons charged from all directions, with thousands of high-level bloodlines opening their bloody wings and rushing over with steel forks in hand.

At this moment, anyone could see that this was an ambush by the Bloodline Clan.

Two kilometers away from the Blood Sacrifice Tower at the edge of a cliff.

Lu Heng raised his hand to open the Star Gate and waved, saying, "As expected, it’s a trap. Let’s leave here first."

Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi’en promptly passed through the Star Gate to teleport away. As for why they fell into the Bloodline Demons’ trap, it would have to be considered after breaking through the encirclement.

Lu Heng was the last to step into the Star Gate, crossing a distance of 50 kilometers to appear on a magma reef along a Molten River underground.

After the four left, the Star Gate immediately closed.

The Bloodline Demons’ ambush was unsuccessful, and after searching the area around the Blood Sacrifice Tower for most of the day, they found nothing.

...

Before the ambush of the Bloodline Demons appeared, what Lu Heng deployed was an S-Level Clone Skill, using the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash to trigger the trap in the Blood Sacrifice Tower.

Before taking action, Lu Heng already vaguely felt something was wrong, so he released a clone to test the waters.

The result was just as intuition suggested, the Blood Sacrifice Tower was indeed a trap.

"Good thing we ran fast, otherwise we’d have been wrapped up by the Bloodline Demons," Lin Zeyu remarked, having seen the multitude of high-level bloodlines flying towards them before passing through the Star Gate.

If it weren’t for the Star Gate teleportation allowing the four to escape, breaking through the encirclement would have been difficult.

In a desperate fight, they might be able to kill off some high-level bloodlines, but with just the power of four people, it would be impossible to clash head-on with the entire Bloodline Demon Clan.

After retreating to the Molten River, Su Muyu conducted a reconnaissance of the surroundings as per usual, "No dangerous targets within three kilometers, just a bit hot underfoot."

The four flew out from the Molten River, found a secluded place, and settled down to think.

From the investigation of the Reincarnation Source Material onwards, everything seemed off.

The high-level bloodlines on the list, with the first seven targets preemptively struck down by someone else, and then upon going to the final target, they fell into the trap.

It’s as if an invisible hand was orchestrating a grand trap behind the scenes.

If it hadn’t been for preemptive precautions before assaulting the Blood Sacrifice Tower, they would have already been trapped in the Earth Flame Pillar and unable to escape.

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, took out the Supreme Female Demon’s Heart Container, threw it to the ground, and drew the Aurora Blade, stabbing it into the heart.

"Ah!"

Tiness’s heart twisted, letting out a painful scream, "No!"

Lu Heng coldly said, "The last time we met, I felt something was off, you wanted to take back the heart, so this was the reason."

The heart was pierced, blood gushing out, and Tiness’s voice pleaded, "Master, I don’t know what you’re talking about, why hurt me?"

Lu Heng’s gaze turned even more murderous, the killing intent emerging, "Since you still persist, then there’s no need to keep you alive."

Saying so, he continued to thrust the sword in.

The continuous preemptive kills of seven targets appeared like the work of Summoners, but upon carefully reviewing the whole matter, Lu Heng was sure that the other Summoner teams could not have obtained this list, including the White Eagle Federation’s George Gardner.

"Ah! No!"

The Aurora Blade plunged deeper, and Tiness’s voice grew more shrill, but no matter how much she begged, Lu Heng did not stop. He unleashed thunder.

The frenzied lightning poured into the banshee heart, burning out a thick and pungent mix of a charred, bloody smell.

"Ah! No, I’ll talk, I’ll confess everything." Tiness couldn’t bear the pain of her heart being destroyed any longer and finally yielded.

Lu Heng withdrew the Aurora Blade, spoke coldly, "You have three sentences to make me change my mind about killing you."

Tiness’s heart got a moment of respite, her voice trembling as she answered, "It’s the Bloodline Ancestor among you humans..."

Hearing this answer, Lu Heng’s eyes sharpened, he pressed on, "Who did you say?"

Tiness’s heart replied weakly, "Lawrence Phoenix, the Bloodline Ancestor hidden among your humans."

Hearing this answer, Lu Heng felt a bit surprised but also clearly knew that this possibility existed.

A month ago, the dead Lawrence Phoenix, after DNA comparison, was confirmed to have no blood relation with other members of the Phoenix Family.

This already indicated that the deceased Lawrence Phoenix was most likely a fake.

Thus, Lu Heng did not question this answer but instead said, "Second sentence."
