Chapter 1748 - 1750: The Overall Situation Is Settled
As soon as Lu Xiaobu spoke, Xin Lifeng’s face turned extremely cold: "Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?"
One-quarter of Gourd Island?
Does this Lu Xiaobu really dare to say that aloud?
The reason for letting him peacefully hold onto the four cities of Gourd Waist, which are strategic but resource-limited, is that once the God Slaying Alliance’s plan succeeds, it would become part of their possessions.
As a result, Lu Xiaobu unexpectedly took Hengqin City and Yuchi City quietly!
That makes the outcome entirely different!
"I do think you don’t dare to kill me!" Lu Xiaobu’s face remained smiling, and he even raised an eyebrow, saying, "Honestly, I quite admire you, why not join me?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Lifeng laughed in extreme anger: "Hahaha, good! Good! Good! Good for you, Lu Xiaobu! Truly bold!"
He was so angry that he didn’t know what to say!
This fellow actually wants to recruit him?!
Recruit him, the chief of the God Slaying Alliance, and an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator?
He tightly knitted his eyebrows together, then with a wave of his hand, he sealed off the surrounding space for dozens of meters, and viciously attacked Lu Xiaobu.
During the Out-of-Body Stage, where Divine Thought is born, one can seal off the space within range, preventing those of lower cultivation from escaping using spatial techniques, and can completely suppress sound and spiritual energy fluctuations within a certain range!
He wanted to quietly kill this fellow who dared to humiliate him several times!
The plan had already started, and he was already in Nanshan City, and given this guy kept holding onto it verbally, killing him silently was the best option!
Lu Xiaobu watched Xin Lifeng’s extended hand, his smile unchanged, and countered with a punch, causing the True Yuan from his six Nascent Souls in his Dantian to surge out!
"Boom!"
The two hands collided with a resounding crash, a fierce wind whipped up by the collision swept everything clean around them!
Xin Lifeng’s expression changed once more; he looked at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief.
How is it possible?
The opponent’s True Yuan is actually not inferior to his?
Even though he exerted only a third of his power, even though he didn’t use combat skills, even though he was still suppressing the surrounding space!
How could someone in the early Nascent Soul stage possibly resist him?!
Looking at the young man in front of him, still smiling, his initial level of caution concerning this person was drastically heightened!
Previously, his apprehension towards this fellow was always about intelligence, never expecting that the opponent would be a formidable force in terms of martial prowess!
That’s why he tolerated Lu Xiaobu’s words several times!
In the end, it still boiled down to strength; he felt confident to kill this guy whenever necessary!
But now, at this moment, he found that he couldn’t kill the opponent?!
To be precise, unable to silently and effortlessly end them!
This... how could it be?!
"How about a couple more rounds? Honestly, I don’t care much about Nanshan City, destroyed means nothing!" Lu Xiaobu still maintained that smile.
Xin Lifeng, however, stared at Lu Xiaobu intently!
After a long while, his fist finally fell slowly!
He couldn’t make a move now!
If he really wanted to kill Lu Xiaobu, it would inevitably lead to a battle, and Nanshan City’s destruction would be almost certain.
Lu Xiaobu didn’t care if Nanshan City was destroyed, and he cared even less!
However, now at this crucial moment of the plan, if it were discovered that he, the chief of the God Slaying Alliance, attacked Lu Xiaobu, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Especially given that this fellow is so adept at strategy, even more so!
"Fine! I can withdraw the people!" Xin Lifeng spoke slowly: "But you should realize you can’t maintain such a vast territory!"
"No need for you to worry about that!" Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
"Then goodbye!" Xin Lifeng snorted coldly, turned around, and left!
Given that situation, it’s temporarily given to him, with such appetite, he’ll eventually cause his own downfall!
Lu Xiaobu watched Xin Lifeng’s departing figure and smiled slightly, murmuring to himself afterward: "Actually, I think it’s your appetite that is too large!"
After saying that, Lu Xiaobu also left again.
Then, both parties resumed their peaceful state once more.
That night, the God Slaying Alliance members residing in Southwest Huludao all exited and relocated to Northwest Gourd Island.
The unification of Northwest Gourd Island suddenly accelerated!
The next day, on the Northeast Gourd Island, the God Slaying Alliance’s plan was finally discovered by some deliberate individuals, causing a moment’s astonishment!
On the third day, while the resentful individuals were still coordinating various forces, Northwest Gourd Island was the first to complete unification.
Although this unification was merely the submission of five major cities and some factions, still a way from a true unification, it was undeniable that the God Slaying Alliance was the largest in Northwest Gourd Island!
On the fourth day, after the unwilling submissives loosely united, the core located at Southeast Gourd Island also followed the lead of the God Slaying Alliance; those unwilling to submit fled to Northeast Gourd Island.
On the fifth day, these people, called the Righteous Army, finally decided to act against the God Slaying Alliance, and they even enlisted three Out-of-Body stage seniors to help, making a grand display!
However, just as they set off, inner conflict suddenly erupted within the Righteous Army, with nearly half violently attacking their comrades!
Turns out even the so-called Righteous Army was deliberately lured out by the God Slaying Alliance to capture them all in one net!
The three Out-of-Body stage seniors were soon ambushed by the God Slaying Alliance’s Out-of-Body stage and were attacked, one killed and two surrendered and joined the God Slaying Alliance!
Those fleeing the Righteous Army were subsequently either killed or captured, with only a few managing to escape!
However, just as the God Slaying Alliance was about to include Northeast Gourd Island in their territory.
An unexpected situation occurred!
A reclusive master spoke up, telling the God Slaying Alliance to stop, intending to protect a piece of land on Northeast Gourd Island.
No one knew the exact cultivation level of this master; some said Transcendance Tribulation Stage, others said Mahayana Realm, with mixed reports swirling around.
Judging from the God Slaying Alliance’s subsequent actions, they were indeed wary of this master, agreeing to designate a part of the area as the master’s reclusive territory.
The God Slaying Alliance felt reluctant about this master’s actions, but for the sake of the bigger picture, they had no choice.
However, after securing that territory, the master did not intervene to govern it, only sent a few disciples to declare some simple rules.
Thus, that location was eventually occupied by those of the fleeing Righteous Army!
The master had one rule: no fighting in the area, violators shall be killed!
This allowed those people to exploit the loophole!
Regarding that, the God Slaying Alliance could only express helplessness!
Nonetheless, the grand plan was established, meaning the rest could only proceed slowly!
On a broad scale, the God Slaying Alliance had already seized most of the Southeast, Northwest, and Northeast regions, all within a mere six days, a true testament to centuries of scheming!
Just as they were about to turn their fangs toward Lu Xiaobu’s Southwest Huludao, Lu Xiaobu also revealed his fangs!
