230: I've met the real person!

"So... so strong!"

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator swallowed, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Although the Boiling Blood Violent Bear was somewhat lacking in speed, its formidable physique was enough to compensate for all its disadvantages.

Even a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn't dare claim to easily take it down!

But now, Zhao Zilong, merely a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, had actually killed the Boiling Blood Violent Bear with just one man and one spear!

They had actually overestimated his strength, but they still underestimated him!

With such strength, why had they never heard of this person's name before?

Lu Ming ignored everyone's surprise; no matter how much was exposed in this battle, at least he had fought to his heart's content.

And the effect was indeed good; a wisp of Divine Thought from Lu Ming, residing in his Clone, could already feel a gaze from a certain existence in the central area of the Formation.

It was True Person Tianxing!

Although it was just a fleeting glance and not the anticipated Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape, this indirectly proved that he was no longer an insignificant presence on the battlefield.

If he continued like this, he would attract the attention of the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape sooner or later!

So Lu Ming did not rest; after collecting the Violent Bear's corpse, he once again plunged into the battlefield.

This time, he was no longer limited to Second-tier Great Demons; even if it was just a First-tier Yao Beast, he would give it a spear thrust, then float away amidst the grateful thanks of the Qi Refining Cultivators.

Of course, there were also many opportunists picking up corpses behind him.

Although Lu Ming still used the pretense of helping Cultivators to draw Yao Beast aggro, he inevitably overdid it at times, directly killing a multitude of Yao Beasts.

But to avoid wasting time, he didn't pocket every Yao Beast he killed.

After all, he truly looked down on some First-tier minor Yao Beasts; even if he took them, they wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth, so he just considered it welfare for these guys.

However, where there are sensible people, there are also those who are not.

Lu Ming didn't care about those who only took First-tier Yao Beasts, but some people were truly blinded by greed.

These people even dared to lay hands on the corpses of Second-tier Great Demons that he hadn't had time to put into his Storage Pouch.

Usually, these people would die mysteriously, and then Lu Ming would tearfully accept their inheritance.

Time slowly flowed by amidst the sounds of battle.

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

"Soon, soon!"

After killing two Second-tier Great Demons and letting a few escape, Lu Ming began to examine his gains from the past few days.

Whether it was what was listed or what was actually obtained offline, the harvest was already astonishingly large.

It could be said that these 'Materials' were equivalent to the total sum of tens of thousands of Qi Refining Cultivators.

If not for this beast tide, Lu Ming would truly be worried about resources.

While he was happily killing here, his true body was also continuously refining 'blood god child' Clones in his Immortal Cave.

So far, he had refined eight, and with two more, he would meet the basic requirements for initially Cultivating the 'Myriad Spirit Condensing Core Secret Record'.

"One more push!"

With a flick of his spear tip, Lu Ming once again charged into the beast horde!

...Tens of miles outside the city.

The Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape stood silently like a great mountain, its enormous eyes gazing at the battlefield, reflecting the changing situation of the battle.

Impatience often flickered in its expression.

It had thought that with the endless waves of Yao Beasts, it would quickly be able to sweep through the Immortal City.

However, even now, not only had it failed to force out the Human Race's hidden strength, but the tide was gradually turning against them.

Logically, it shouldn't be like this; although Yao Beasts didn't have as many methods as the Human Race, they had the advantage of numbers.

If one-on-one didn't work, then two-on-one, three-on-one!

Yet, the Human Race still held the upper hand, and now they were even chasing after the Yao Beasts!

If this situation continued, the beast tide would soon come to a hasty end.

But how could the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape allow such great sacrifices to be made for nothing!

At this moment, the violent emotions in its heart were constantly escalating.

If not for its apprehension of that Third-Rank Grand Array, the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape would have loved to personally smash this damned Immortal City.

"It's that pest again!"

At this moment, the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape looked in one direction, where a small human figure was dodging and weaving, sending a Yao Beast flying with a spear.

It had noticed this person before, but hadn't paid attention.

After all, he was just a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; what could he decide in such a vast battlefield?

And indeed, that was the case.

Unless it was a Golden Core-level combat power, one could not decide the outcome of a battle of this scale.

But at this moment, it was extremely irritated; Lu Ming was like an annoying fly buzzing around in front of it.

A fierce look flashed across the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape's expression.

Suddenly, an invisible fluctuation pressed towards that direction.

Although as a Yao Beast, it had no talent in the Divine Soul Dao, it was still a Third-tier Yao Beast; it didn't need any fancy tricks, just brute force would suffice.

"Thank you, Brother Zilong, for your help. Once this beast tide recedes, I must have a drink with Fellow Daoist!"

Lu Ming had just assisted a Late Stage Foundation Establishment middle-aged Cultivator in killing a Late Stage Second-tier Great Demon, and was now being pulled into pleasantries.

He responded with "Mhm, mhm, mhm," while pushing away the middle-aged Cultivator who was trying to drag him for a drink, his eyes constantly scanning the battlefield, trying to find his next lucky beast.

Suddenly, Lu Ming's hair stood on end, and his spiritual sense wildly warned him; he felt a terrifying chill, as if being targeted by a great horror.

"Hmph!"

Before he could react, a cold snort suddenly echoed in his Sea of Consciousness, like a gentle breeze sweeping across the sea, smoothing out the churning waves.

That warning sign also vanished without a trace!

Lu Ming turned around and saw a middle-aged man, dressed in a Robe Adorned with Stars and with his hair tied by a Jade Crown, had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

He stood with his hands behind his back, floating in the air, surrounded by specks of starlight, like the Lord of the Stars, instantly inspiring awe in anyone who saw him.

This person was the lord of Heavenly Star Immortal City, True Person Tianxing!

"This junior, Zhao Zilong, thanks Immortal Master for saving me!"

Lu Ming very tactfully bowed; even if he usually grumbled about Golden Core Immortal Masters in his heart, he still had to be submissive when meeting them.

Moreover, to reiterate, True Person Tianxing had just saved him from a calamity, so he should indeed express his gratitude.

He had now recovered; that terrifying spiritual fluctuation just now, which had made him shudder, had come from the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape tens of miles away.

He had been targeted!

Suppressing the upward curve of his lips, he looked at True Person Tianxing.

He saw True Person Tianxing staring at him with burning eyes, making Lu Ming feel uncomfortable, as if he was being seen through completely.

After a long while, True Person Tianxing finally showed a meaningful smile and nodded slightly at Lu Ming.

"Little friend, you are very good."

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't quite grasp what True Person Tianxing meant.

Was he referring to his brave and fearless battle achievements, or had he seen through this Clone?

The former was fine, but if it was the latter... well, it didn't really matter. The moment he saw True Person Tianxing, his true body had actively severed the connection here.

How could his true body, being such a cautious person, overlook such a small matter?

Now he was an independent Clone, without cause or effect; he was Zhao Zilong!
