nEverything happened too quickly.
nFrom Lu Ming being brutally beaten up to Li De exploding on the spot, it did not take more than a dozen seconds.
nWhen everything calmed down, the abrupt gasps caught Lu Ming’s attention.
nTurning around to look at the source of the sound, he saw Roxin sitting on the ground, her face filled with astonishment.
nShe was shocked by Lu Ming’s strength…
nHow did he quietly become a Source Realm powerhouse?
nCould it be that Brother Lu Ming had always been a mysterious Source Realm expert?
nThe glow in her eyes grew richer.
nA brewing emotion of admiration was subtly taking shape.
nIn the other direction, at the royal ancestral hall.
nAs the dust settled from Lu Ming and Li De’s battle, this place fell into a deathly silence.
nThe members of the Divine Dao Alliance looked at each other, not knowing what expression to make.
nThe traitors in the ancestral hall also stared wide-eyed at each other, unable to recover their senses for a long time.
nIt was not until Lu Ming, who had returned to his Self-Limitation State in the distance, flew back quickly that there was sound in this place.
n“Spare me!”
n“Lord, please spare my life!”
nIt was necessary to beg for mercy.
nA group of Spirit Realm experts from the Divine Dao Alliance knelt down in front of Lu Ming immediately, tears streaming down their faces, without a trace of the dignity of Spirit Realm experts….
nHowever, it made sense. He still had to compare cards.
nRoda, supporting Uncle Lu, slowly walked out of the ancestral hall.
nLooking at Lu Ming flying in the sky, Roda’s expression was ugly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
nHe knew very well that when he first met Lu Ming some time ago, Lu Ming’s strength was definitely only around the Physique Realm Level 3 or 4, no higher!
nSpiritual pressure was something Lu Ming did not have at that time.
nAnd control over Source Power was not something that Lu Ming possessed.
nHow had Lu Ming changed like this in just a few days of his own absence?
nThe huge doubt in his heart made Roda involuntarily say, “Lu Ming, you…”
nHowever, when he was about to speak, Roda swallowed the question he wanted to ask.
nBecause it was meaningless…
nRoda, who was born into a major clan, was well aware of one thing—this world had many secrets, and many people carried secrets. Delving too deeply would not only fail to provide clarity but also potentially cause relationships that had been painstakingly built to collapse instantly and turn friends into enemies.
nAnd Lu Ming, who had demonstrated the power of the Source Realm, was already qualified to safeguard the secrets on him.
n“After all, that’s the Source Realm…”
nEven in the current era of a large clan like the Aeonians, Source Realm experts were more than enough to establish dominance in an area. Simply put, they were local overlords, as long as they didn’t commit major taboos, they could do whatever they wanted.
nIn any case, at this moment, Roda’s mind was in chaos, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and the shock at Lu Ming’s strength.
nPerhaps even he himself did not know what he was thinking at this moment and what he wanted to say to Lu Ming.
nUntil the commotion suddenly quietened down.
nThen, Lu Ming made a move.
nIn the sky, Lu Ming’s body trembled, and countless explosive fist forces surged out, enveloping him.
nLooking at the people of the Divine Dao Alliance kneeling below, Lu Ming spoke calmly.
n“The evil leader of the Divine Dao Alliance has been eliminated.”
nAs soon as he said this, the Spirit Realm experts of the Divine Dao Alliance immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
n“However… just because the chief evil has been eliminated doesn’t mean that you don’t have sins anymore.”
nWith that said, the explosive fist force around Lu Ming began howling and rushing downwards!
nSounds of “Pfft, pfft, pfft” continued to echo, accompanied by endless screams.
nThis made Lu Ming narrow his eyes slightly and he could not help but sigh softly.
nHe was not a bloodthirsty person to begin with.
nLogically speaking, since Li De was already dead, the lives or deaths of the others did not seem that important.
n“But one has to pay the price for making a mistake.”
n“Can this group of bandits erase the evil deeds they have done just because their leader is dead?”
n“They can’t!”
nHe turned around and looked towards where Roda was.
nA familiar figure entered Lu Ming’s eyes.
nHis figure instantly shot out and arrived beside Roda in the blink of an eye. Before Roda could greet Lu Ming, Lu Ming had already reached out his hand, pressing it firmly against the chest of one of the individuals.
nThe explosive punches were instantly unleashed, and a terrifying power surged into this person’s heart.
nWith a “pop”,
nthe chest of the Black Feather Tribe member named Apelo instantly exploded and he fell to the ground without a word…
nTurning to look at the somewhat frightened Roda, Lu Ming smiled again and said, “This is a personal grudge, don’t be nervous.”
nThe Black Feather Tribe was Lu Ming’s old enemy.
nLu Ming remembered that when he first entered the Back Mist Zone, the first major enemies he encountered were these Black Feather Tribe members.
nThey were the ones who forced Lu Ming to advance forcibly. Although in hindsight, they did not cause much trouble for Lu Ming, a grudge had indeed been formed.
nBack then, Lu Ming had sworn that if he met the Black Feather Tribe in the future, he would kill anyone he saw. At this moment, killing Apelo with a slap was simply fulfilling his own oath.
nAs for whether Roda would have any thoughts… this was not within Lu Ming’s consideration.
nRoda did not have any thoughts.
nThis Apelo, who had betrayed them first, was not worth mourning for.
nHe just looked at Lu Ming. After a moment, he bowed deeply to Lu Ming and said, “Thank you.”
nLu Ming smiled and said, “It’s nothing between friends. There’s no need to be so formal.”
nWith that, Roda remained silent.
nLu Ming’s transformation was too significant. At this moment, Roda did not know how to interact with Lu Ming.
nIn the distance, the explosive fist force completely dissipated.
nThe Spirit Realm experts of the Divine Dao Alliance were almost wiped out, with only two survivors lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
nSeeing this, Lu Ming walked over. One of the two survivors, upon noticing Lu Ming’s approach, showed despair in his eyes and struggled to crawl away, trying to get as far from Lu Ming as possible.
nThe other person, however, heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly stood up and knelt in front of Lu Ming.
n“Thank you, Lord, for sparing our lives!”
nLu Ming nodded slightly, “You do have some brains.”
nIn other words, Lu Ming had no interest in flaunting his power in front of these weaker individuals.
nA single explosive punch could either spare their lives or take them.
nAfter one move, all debts were settled, and there was no need for Lu Ming to go for the kill.
nAs if he suddenly thought of something, Lu Ming spoke to the kneeling survivor, “What’s your name?”
nThis person immediately replied respectfully, “My name is Quan Chao. I’m from the Firestone Tribe.”
nThe Firestone Tribe members were naturally tall with rough skin covered in dark red patterns.
nThey were born with immense strength and exceptional defense. Perhaps it was due to their racial talents that he could survive Lu Ming’s reckoning with just Spirit Realm Level 3 strength.
nAfter thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, “Do you know where the treasure vault of the Divine Dao Alliance is?”
nQuan Chao quickly nodded,
n“I know.”
n“Take me there.”
nThe Divine Dao Alliance had occupied the Flame Clan Ruin for so long, so their gains were obvious.
nThey had collected all the treasures they found and stored them in Li De’s residence—with Li De guarding, the treasures were naturally safe.
nNow, these treasures were going to benefit Lu Ming.
nQuan Chao led the way and soon, the group arrived at a residence in the inner city.
nThere were still Divine Dao Alliance members stationed outside the house.
nThese subordinates were unaware of the recent battle, as it had taken place in the Imperial City District. They were oblivious to the fact that the entire Divine Dao Alliance had been crushed by Lu Ming alone.
nWithout needing Lu Ming to say anything, Quan Chao had already gone forward to disperse these Physique Realm and Mortal Realm warriors. He brought Lu Ming all the way to the interior of the residence and stopped in front of a room.
n“Li De placed everything of value in there..”
