Chapter 410: 410, [Evil Eyes]
 

Since this Ghost Bead originated from the Ghost King, formed by the aggregation of resentment of the departed souls, Lu Xun naturally saw it as a reward given to him by the departed souls.

Accepting their treasures and mitigating their disasters. In that case, he would take on the responsibility of avenging them.

The Sword Qi is Near hovered beside Lu Xun, clearly impatient.

At Lu Xun’s gesture, it disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, a high-ranking member of the foreign race was bisected at waist before he could scream.

His pupils dilated slightly in disbelief as he faced his moment of death.

Ever since Lu Xun and the Sword Qi is Near had appeared, they had been on full alert. However, the reality proved that no matter whether you were relaxed or alert, the result was the same when faced with ultimate speed.

Because you cannot keep up with it, you don’t have the time to react!

The faces of the remaining nine foreign tribesmen changed drastically, the leading female yelled out, “Form up!”

She was tall with a tightly fit top half, and a scale armor battle skirt that barely reached her knees.

Her proportioned legs were exposed, straight with a perfect arch in the back.

However, her skin was a sickly pale, resembling a corpse’s.

It was clear that she was the leader of these foreigners, with a cultivation base in the seventh stage.

This level of power would at least grant the status of an elder even in the great sects of the Heavenly Dust Continent.

Seventy-level foreigners still required a team of players to defeat them by sheer numbers.

Aside from her, there were three foreign tribesmen at the sixth stage, and five at the fifth stage.

As soon as Lu Xun entered, he began sizing up the opponents, deciding on his target.

I, Lu Xun, request a one-on-one duel!

I want to fight the weakest!

After all, high-level foreigners are valuable, offering plenty of experience points and contribution points.

He quickly targeted a level 51 foreigner, considering him his prey.

He wasn’t sure if he could singlehandedly take down this foreigner, after all, foreigners and ghosts are fundamentally different, they had various abilities, were intelligent and strategic, and were fully equipped.

Regardless, he still wanted to give it a try.

To his dismay, the opponents started forming up!

“Why do you have to group up, can’t one of you just come and duel with me?” Lu Xun complained.

The Sword Qi is Near let out a cheerful sword cry, and charged straight at the foreigners.

It didn’t care whether they were forming a formation or not. For it, the end result would be the same.

“Black Savage Nine Wild Radiant Formation, rise!” The leading female of the foreign race yelled out.

Formations with longer names tend to be more powerful.jpg.

The nine of them stood in different positions with black totems flashing behind them.

These totems resembled wild alien beasts, each one distinct, exuding a bloodthirsty and violent aura.

The Sword Qi is Near did not slow down.

During a fight with an enemy, it never does something stupid.

Why wait for them to complete their formation before attacking?

Why bother? This was not a friendly spar. It was a fight to the death!

So, the Sword Qi is Near went straight at them, breaking through at their weakest point.

The level 51 foreigner that Lu Xun had singled out met his fate first.

The black totem behind him twisted momentarily.

Beastly roars emerged from the totem as the Sword Qi is Near flashed a swift sword gleam, tearing the black totem apart and annihilating it into streams of black air.

Strangely, however, this black air got absorbed.

It was swallowed up by a huge totem behind the foreign female!

After swallowing the black air, the totem apparently grew larger.

As a result, even though they had lost one person, the overall power of their formation was not significantly weakened.

Although there would be some loss, it was minimal.

Something about this formation was strange!

The Sword Qi is Near swiftly changed direction, pointing its tip toward the leading female foreigner.

If that’s the case, then it would kill the woman who seemed to absorb all energy first!

Its energy was limited, and it couldn’t recover while sticking around Lu Xun. Therefore, it was trying to fight in the most energy-efficient mode whilst being wildly aggressive.

The Sword Qi is Near was closing in fast. However, the rest of the foreigners rushed forward to block its way.

With a swipe of the sword, two of them were sent flying.

Their bodies twisted from the chest cavity, spewing out blood. Their totems dissipated into black air, all sucked away by the largest totem.

It was evident that the others were protecting her. She was the centerpiece of their group battle.

Their mission was to ensure that she could deal her maximum damage!

This situation irritated the Sword Qi is Near, and it felt that it was time to show its real skills!

It was keen to see, in front of absolute speed, even if they wanted to block, would they be able to?

“Swoosh—”

An overwhelmingly bright sword light viciously slashed towards the foreign alien woman, and she had nowhere to hide.

Just then, the massive totem behind her moved forward, withstanding the brunt of the sword attack.

Bizarrely, it didn’t obliterate outright. Instead, the two other totems beside it turned into a jet black stream in an instant!

“Is this… damage transfer?” Lu Xun murmured inwardly.

Considering how things looked, it seemed he was right.

Blazing with fury, the Sword Qi is Near let out a resonant hum of its blade before going all out.

It couldn’t be bothered with conserving energy now. The formation was too peculiar and the best way to face it was to clear it as quickly as possible, otherwise, by the time it was fully in place, the final amount of magic consumed might be even higher!

A series of sword spirits formed and then stabbed towards the remaining totems.

As the remaining totems turned into black mist, the aliens were killed outright, with only the alien woman barely managing to defend herself despite a trickle of blood slipping from her lips!

Regrettably, the gaping disparity in their strength made it abundantly clear to her that further maneuvers would be futile.

Even if everyone concentrated their efforts on her, it would bring them little use.

It was akin to playing the “four protect one” tactic in a game, but ultimately receiving the “pentakill” with teary eyes!

The only difference here was that she drained more magic from the Sword Qi is Near through her peculiar moves.

To say the least, she was feeling somewhat desperate at this point.

After descending onto the Heavenly Dust Continent, they destroyed Frost Feather City, believing they had made the first step.

But they never expected that this would also be their last.

She had no idea how this robed man of the third realm had found this place.

What was even more startling was that he had managed to surpass the altar’s restrictions unscathed!

The sword by his side was immensely powerful, a power she believed ordinary cultivators of the eighth realm shouldn’t possess!

“Who exactly are you?” With blood on the corner of her lips, the alien woman’s pale face added a touch of tragic beauty.

From Lu Xun’s perspective, she looked like one of those women who liked to paint their faces for Halloween on Earth.

Clearly, she had just arrived on Heavenly Dust Continent and hadn’t received the latest news, so she had never heard of Lu Xun or the Sword Qi is Near.

But that didn’t matter at all.

“Spare her a breath,” Lu Xun ordered the Sword Qi is Near.

It responded with a ringing sound as if saying: “Don’t keep bossing me around!”

Regardless, it still did as Lu Xun had ordered.

Even so, it was a necessary procedure to curse him once.

The brilliant yet fearful sword light seemed capable of obliterating everything. The massive totem continuously emitted ferocious cries, but finally didn’t manage to withstand the ruthless sword attack.

After the totem was destroyed, the alien woman was violently thrown backwards, crashing into the three-eyed statue.

Several bones in her body shattered instantaneously. She fell onto the altar while her pale slender legs lay sideways. Due to sharp pain, they were trembling minutely from time to time.

Lu Xun, holding his sword sheath, slowly approached her.

She had no idea what this man in the black cloak intended to do.

All she knew was that the smile on his flawless face made her inexplicably shiver.

Because his smile was too warm, like a delightful ray of sunshine.

However, as they were on opposing sides and in a do-or-die situation, his tantalizing smile appeared alarmingly threatening, capable of breaking through someone’s defenses.

Lu Xun squatted down, with streams of finger-tip sword energy circling around, and a stream of black airflow began to envelop him.

Regardless of her injuries, he didn’t dare to take chances because she was a level seven foreign alien who can’t be treated like an ordinary human.

Fortunately, she seemed to be barely alive after activating the peculiar formation, which required a great deal of her vitality to stimulate.

“What’s your name,” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

Anyone who didn’t know them might think he was trying to flirt with her.

The alien woman didn’t answer.

She bit her tongue, spitting out a drop of dark purple blood that turned into a light beam attacking Lu Xun.

“A futile struggle,” Lu Xun chuckled as his black airflow directly blocked the attacking light.

She was too weak, and even her desperate attack didn’t possess its former power.

“No desire to share?” On Lu Xun’s face he still wore a gentle smile.

He gestured with his finger, and the finger-tip Sword Qi hovered in the air beside her temple.

Then, Lu Xun lifted his right hand, clutching the chin of the woman and forced her to look directly into his eyes.

Though they were enemies, the alien woman had to admit that this man had a pair of unforgettable eyes.

Who could believe that such good-looking men existed in the world!

His eyes were incredibly captivating which could drown any soul in one glance.

Irresistibly captivating!

The alien woman’s dark purple eyes gradually gave away her confused state.

At this, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Xun’s face.

Yes, he just used…

—-Charm!
