BXBX NOVEL Chapter 230 - I Am Just An Innocent Card Creator
Lu Ming was certain.
Poor fellow.
He had been targeted by so many people. Although he had the Phantom Legacy that could kill instantly in one-to-one combat, it was impossible to get out alive. Who did he think he was?
He once read an article of an unofficial record in history, “The strongest genes•Ye Zhongtong’s biography•special edition•new editions”. It was a story about Ye Zhongtong...
This person...
Tsk tsk.
That was a real group-targeted AOE (Area of effect) powerful ability!
Perhaps, she was the only one who was able to survive in that kind of situation...
Right now...
There was no way out for Zhou Yang.
That was good as well. There would be an end to the ancient tomb legacy.
“That may not be necessary.”
Jiang Feng shook his head. “Don’t forget about Zhou Yang’s background.”
“Background and identity...”
Lu Ming came to his senses.
His family was prominent...
If Zhou Yang disclosed his identity, the Firefly team would not dare to attack him. The other cultivators would not dare to attack him as well!
After all...
Without the spirit body, Zhou Yang...
Nobody was willing to take such a huge risk when they would have no returns!
Of course.
The aftereffect of doing so would be very serious. After all, the Zhou family would be in big trouble after Zhou Yang went on a killing spree in the city.
Therefore...
If possible, Zhou Yang would not be willing to disclose his identity.
“Do you mean that this guy is invincible?”
Lu Ming felt bored instantly.
His family background had rendered the supposed excitement into nothing...
His original intention was to take advantage of the crisis for personal gain. When they broke out in fights, he could collect some more vocation cores. But it turned out to be like this?!
Sigh.
It was no fun.
...
At this very moment...
The college at the crossroad.
At the entrance.
The police officers were on stand-by.
The six-star police officer who stood guard in the city was here as well. It was just that he did not enter the college, but watched quietly outside the school.
“Senior, don’t we need to go in?” Zhang Wei asked cautiously.
“No need.”
The six-star police officer had a meaningful expression in his eyes. “Since there are no students except for spirit body hunters, they can fight all they want. I shall see what they are capable of!”
“Yes,” Zhang Wei said respectfully.
He was indeed a six-star senior. He was very calm and collected.
However...
He did not know that the six-star senior was very helpless as well. Back then when he received the mission, it was to subdue the six-star python...
God knew this would happen.
By the time he arrived, the python was dead and yet there was another female snake?
How should he write his report?
Was it the same snake?
He was desperate too!
Forget it.
He reckoned it did not make any difference.
...
At this very moment...
In school.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The Firefly went searching for the target in accordance with its feminine aura.
Jiang Feng and Lu Ming watched from the office building. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yang would be discovered in no time.
However...
Would it end just like that?
Perhaps Zhou Yang would shout loudly that his father was Li Gang and sent shocks through everyone. Thereafter, no one would dare to lay a finger on him and he would leave with the legacy?
Lu Ming felt indignant about this outcome...
This legacy...
Ten million yuan was too much of a loss!
Although he had collected many vocation cores secretly, he stole them with his own abilities. It should not be considered as part of the deal.
No matter what, he had made a loss!
Well...
Lu Ming looked outside.
At this moment...
Those people had discovered Zhou Yang. The Firefly led everyone to lock in on Zhou Yang’s aura and closed in on him. Zhou Yang was driven to the corner.
He had nowhere to retreat!
The trick to Phantom’s strangulation was to keep a low-profile and to kill instantly!
But now...
Once discovered...
Especially when discovered by so many people, he would be at his dead-end!
...
“Principal, are you sure Zhou Yang has no means of running away?” Lu Ming asked.
“He will not be able to do so.”
Jiang Feng once read in some ancient books about the legend of the Phantom. “The Phantom is like a serpent. It has the ability to wrap around the other party in a close-range battle. But its speed is not necessarily fast.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ming was disappointed.
Phantom...
It turned out that it was not as powerful as he imagined. So much about being invincible among their peers!
How could this be considered invincible?!
“He is indeed invincible among his peers, but the premise is the number cannot be too large.”
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and looked outside. “In this situation, the Array Master is the only one... no, transportation seems to be restricted as well. No vocation would be able to escape!”
“Haha.”
Lu Ming simply smiled.
Principal, that is because you have yet to see a Sword Card Master make his attack...
“Yes. Don’t underestimate the Phantom,” Jiang Feng said in a low voice. “Regardless of whether Zhou Yang can escape or not, you have to remember, if you see him in the future, steer clear of him. It is best not to mention what happened today!
The vocation, Phantom... It might be more terrifying than we thought.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
This was the first time that Jiang Feng was so serious, reminding him of the dangers.
“The Phantom... I have read about its legend in the books.”
Jiang Feng looked solemn. “Zhou Yang had received the legacy barely a few hours ago. It is normal that he is not as powerful. However, when the Phantom reaches its peak...
It is said that everything can be strangled!
Men, beasts, abilities, goods, everything in the universe...
As long as he wraps himself around it, there will be no chance of surviving!
In a sense, the Phantom was invincible when in one-to-one combat! People who inherited the legacy are very ruthless people...”
Jiang Feng’s eyes were full of fear.
“According to the records in the books...
The earliest Phantom had a complete body, until one day when the Phantom was defeated in an important battle. This was because his opponent was a female Charmer. Young people are full of vigor and vitality and when he released the Phantom abilities, it was not as fluid and smooth...
It seemed to be stuck...
The speed and flexibility were greatly reduced, and hence he failed in his final attack and the other party managed to escape...
There were many casualties in that battle!
So... Since then, the Phantom castrated himself and this was how the powerful Phantom abilities came about.”
Lu Ming almost spat blood.
This story...
Tsk tsk.
Wasn’t this the same for the Assassin’s creed where they hid swords in their sleeves?
With the hidden sword in the sleeve, they could achieve unexpected outcome in the assassination. But when they used the abilities, they would cut off their ring finger...
Although one managed to kill the enemies, one suffered huge losses as well.
As for the Phantom?
He was even more ruthless!
He killed the enemy and cut off his chances of having future generations!
...
“So...
Don’t underestimate the Phantom. Zhou Yang is a ruthless man as well. As the Phantom Legacy is integrated with him, he will become stronger. Therefore, never fight against him, particularly in one-to-one battle!”
Jiang Feng looked grave.
“Really?”
Lu Ming was very doubtful.
If the Phantom was so powerful, why would it be extinct until now?
Lu Ming voiced his doubts.
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment. “Back then, many of them passed down the legacy to their future generations...”
Oh.
Understood.
Lu Ming completely understood now.
“Anyway... Don’t provoke him.”
Jiang Feng sounded slightly displeased. “Regardless of whether he escaped today or not, you must watch your behavior. Xiaobai is still very young, I don’t want her to be without her...
Master,” Jiang Feng said through clenched teeth.
“Sure!”
Lu Ming understood.
He looked outside the window.
Over there...
The area that Zhou Yang could escape to became smaller and smaller...
...
“Over here. There is nowhere to run to.”
The cultivators came charging forward.
“Is it ending soon?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
He knew that...
No matter what happened, it was time for this farce to end.
At a distance away.
Lu Ming noticed that Zhou Yang was wrapped in a face towel.
It seemed that...
He intended to carve out a road of survival!
Even if his identity was exposed or the snake spirit was revealed, he intended to kill them and clear a path to get out!
In that case...
There would be an impending battle.
Even without the Phantom’s Final Attack, Zhou Yang was a five-star peak. Besides, after receiving the Soul Legacy, his physical fitness had been enhanced...
He was more powerful!
Perhaps...
This would be a fierce fight!
Until...
Zhou Yang won or he lost and he yelled that his father was Li Gang.
...
“I am surprised that he wanted to charge out.”
Jiang Feng’s expression changed drastically.
In Qing Ming City, a four-star cultivator was the highest level that one would reach. In this small city, no one would waste resources to build buildings that could withstand stronger tremors...
Therefore...
If these people engaged in a battle here...
To hell with it!
Lu Ming’s two-star bulls could level the field. If the five-star launched an attack...
“The school will be demolished!”
Jiang Feng’s expression changed drastically.
“Don’t you have a way to stop them?”
He glanced at Lu Ming.
He remembered that Lu Ming kept saying that he had a way.
“There is indeed one solution.”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “It’s just that...”
Forget it.
He should go for it.
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
All those jumping vocation cores...
“Can you really solve this?”
Jiang Feng was doubtful.
After all...
Lu Ming was merely a three-star peak.
Due to a slight problem with the bed spirit, Lu Ming had yet to breakthrough. He was still a three-star peak. He might be able to skip levels in combat, but to take on a five-star?!
Especially—
Other than five-star cultivators, there was Zhou Yang as well!
What method did Lu Ming have?
To this...
Lu Ming only smiled faintly.
He calmly went to the window, looked at the impending fight and he took out his communication device to call the police without any hesitation. “Hello? Is this the police? There is a brawl...”
Jiang Feng’s expression stiffened.
Call the police?
Damn, are you kidding me!
What was the use in calling the police now?
“Yes! Yes! Yes!
I am a student from the college at the crossroads...
I am stuck at school as I didn’t finish my homework.
There isn’t any snake spirit. I heard that a five-star cultivator by the name of Zhou Yang disguised himself as one... He is about to break into a fight with a group of spirit body hunters...
It is scary.
Oo... Oo...”
Upon finishing his words...
Lu Ming ended the call calmly.
Jiang Feng did not come to his senses.
What the hell was that?!
Would it be useful?!
He was still thinking hard when he heard a loud yell. Thereafter, a terrifying aura exploded at the school’s entrance. A six-star police officer had launched an attack!
Bang!
Terrifying aura swept across the college at the crossroads!
“The priority is to save the students!
Kill anyone who tries to stop us!
Everyone, stop the fight now!”
The police officers were dispatched.
The battle that was about to break out was stopped.
The Firefly team was dumbfounded...
The police officers were never involved in the fight for the spirit bodies. Why would they do so now?!
Somewhere.
Zhou Yang was in a daze as well. He had many plans ready. He had intended to hide his identity to fight a way out of the school. To his surprise, the police appeared the next instant!
What the hell was this?!
Bang!
A horrifying aura vibrated in the air.
No one dared to move a single inch as the six-star police officer made his move!
“Zhou Yang?”
The six-star police officer stepped into the light and appeared directly in front of Zhou Yang. He was expressionless as he glanced at him and threw a phone to him.
“Your father is on the line.”
“Huh?”
Zhou Yang was confused.
Why did they make a report to his parents?!
He answered the phone and received a scolding from his father.
“Get ready to come with me.”
The six-star police officer looked indifferent. “At the very least, you will be safer.”
Zhou Yang was in a trance.
Since he graduated from kindergarten, it had been very long since he had a similar experience where he was reported to his parents. He felt dumbfounded.
He was surprised at the methods used.
Right then...
The police officers appeared and brought Zhou Yang with them.
There was a killing spree in the city. The Zhou family was expected to pay a lot of money for this...
As for the families of the deceased, they would leave it to the Zhou family to negotiate. Anyway, the police officers would not interfere in such matters...
“Where are the students?”
“A rescue team is dispatched. They should be safe.”
“That’s good.”
The six-star police officer heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally...
It was good that the students escaped unscathed.
Although this world was harsh, they should still work hard.
Those students...
Those kids...
They should have a better future.
It did not matter that many four-star and five-star cultivators died today. However, even if one single student died today, they would live a lifetime of guilt...
This was their duty—to protect!
However...
When the ‘victim students’ were being brought to them, his expression became odd.
The victims...
To hell with it!
These two were the victims?!
“Hello, seniors, thank you for your help.”
Lu Ming was excited. “I-I am a two-star Card Creator. Thank you everyone for saving my lives. I am very grateful...”
Jiang Feng who was next to him was very emotional as well.
“Thank you, seniors. I am the principal here, a four-star Card Creator. I am merely an auxiliary vocation. I wanted to save this student, but I did not expect to be trapped here... I am ashamed of myself.”
Jiang Feng felt ashamed of himself.
However...
In front of him...
The six-star police officer was silent for a long time.
After a long while...
“Lu Ming?”
He gave a deep sigh.
“Do you know me?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“I...”
The six-star police officer paused. “I was beaten by your sister.”
“Haha. What a coincidence.”
Lu Ming smiled dryly. “I used to be beaten when I was young.”
The six-star police officer looked intently at him. “Did what happened today have anything to do with you?”
He had read through Lu Ming’s profile since he was here.
Well...
It was interesting.
“Of course not!”
Lu Ming looked serious. “As you have seen, someone pretended to be a spirit body and went on a killing spree. It’s very scary! Why would there be such a bad person in this world...
I am just an innocent Card Creator...”
Lu Ming was full of resentment.
“I hope so.”
The six-star police officer was noncommittal.
Right then.
Zhang Wei and a group of people came back after performing investigations on the corpses. “It was strange. Although some Energy Warriors were strangled, some body parts seemed to be...”
“Oh, right,” Lu Ming suddenly interrupted, “I saw that some Energy Warriors tried to self-destruct their vocation cores to attack Zhou Yang. It was a pity they did not succeed...”
Sigh.
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
Zhang Wei paused slightly. “The situation is exactly as Lu Ming said.”
“They deserved it!” the six-star police officer sneered.
Greed and ambition were always the reason why cultivators ended up dead.
“Are you Jiang Feng?”
The six-star police officer turned to Jiang Feng after he was finished with Lu Ming.
“Have you heard of me?”
Jiang Feng was surprised.
“Of course.”
The six-star police officer arched his eyebrows. “I used to be hunted down by a five-star assassin and I almost died. But when I broke through to six-star later, I decided to seek revenge.
I specifically did investigations and found out something.
The five-star cultivator that almost killed me back then was already dead...
They died while on a mission to kill you.
Furthermore...
It was a few years back.”
...
Sigh.
Jiang Feng was bewildered.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about. You have got the wrong person. I am just an innocent Card Creator...”
