There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 361
Chapter 361: 361, 【Scatter My Ashes】 (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)
The Demon Sect was located in the Eastern Region, quite a distance away from the Southern Territory, where the Uncold Forest was.
After leaving the large area of the Eastern Region, one would have to pass through three smaller areas to reach the border of the Southern Territory.
The seven paper cranes flew relatively quickly. After leaving the Eastern Region, Lu Xun suddenly changed direction, deviating from the guidance on the map.
“Huh, why is the Purple Palace taking a detour?” Mo Guanji and co. wondered in their hearts.
But they didn’t think too much about it, after all, we have a map, and the Purple Palace doesn’t!
The navigation function was exclusive to players. Even if the Purple Palace was impressive, it was ultimately just an NPC without this function.
Therefore, in their eyes, occasionally taking a detour was normal.
Moreover, for them, no matter where Lu Xun went, they just had to follow him faithfully.
A mature player should understand the importance of humbling themselves, building favorability with NPCs, reaping great benefits. And then, they can show off in front of other players!
“NPCs are just data, there’s no shame in kneeling to data.” The suck-ups reasoned.
Lu Xun didn’t care about what the Sword-Serving Children were thinking at this moment.
The reason he suddenly took a detour was that not long after leaving the Eastern Region, he sensed the presence of the Foreign Race nearby!
“A disgusting aura.” Lu Xun’s eyes were slightly cold as he muttered to himself.
…
…
Ever since he swallowed the Dao Bead, Lu Xun gained 1 point of Primordial Power.
As his personal strength increased, his range of sensing the Foreign Race was also expanding.
Especially when his Spiritual Power reached 4 points, his senses became incredibly sharp.
“There are a total of 9 of them, the weakest being level 26, the highest at level 39.” Lu Xun told himself.
—— They can be killed!
Since they can be killed, he didn’t mind spending some time to detour and kill these “monsters”.
Meanwhile, he also wanted to test the current capability of his six Sword-Serving Children.
The paper cranes quickly flew in the sky, going higher and higher.
Soon, they encountered the nine men flying on their artifacts mid-air.
Seeing these nine red-named guys, Li Zuole and co. were almost drooling.
“Foreign Race! It’s the Foreign Race!” they shouted in their hearts.
Ever since the Contribution Points Mall and the Faction Contribution Points Rankings were opened, players dreamt of killing more Foreign Races.
Exchanging items was secondary. Mainly, they wanted to rank high and show off.
We are all educated people, is it a crime to want to show off?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Xun was sitting on the paper crane without making a move, they were afraid of upsetting Lu Xun. And with these red-named monsters’ high levels, they seemed unlikely to win. Otherwise, they might already be shouting and charging to kill the monsters.
The 39-level Foreign Race man at the front saluted Lu Xun in a friendly manner and guided his artifact to change direction and fly past them.
Although Heavenly Dust Continent was boundless, it was common for cultivators to come across other cultivators in the sky. Just like with cars, as long as one party makes way, it’s fine.
Foreign Races now behave more discreetly than before, refraining from causing unnecessary troubles and appearing polite and well-mannered on the surface.
However, what they didn’t expect was that when they turned to try and fly past, the man at the leader of the other group, who wore a bamboo hat, maneuvered his paper crane to block them again.
The wind picked up and gently lifted a corner of the veil from under the bamboo hat, revealing his chin and lips.
His lips moved slightly, and although his tone was calm, his words were startling to the Foreign Race.
What he said was:
“This road is closed.”
Your journey ends here.
…
…
Hearing Lu Xun’s words, not only were the enemies shocked, even his allies were surprised.
“Holy shit! Can the Purple Palace discern the identity of the Foreign Race?” That thought crossed their minds.
But they quickly felt that it made sense.
After all, the Purple Palace is the World Protagonist, it wouldn’t be strange for him to have this ability.
Moreover, the one who originally led all the players to trigger the mainline task of the Foreign Invasion was actually him, the Purple Palace!
Just as the Foreign Races were surprised, Lu Xun made his move.
Six Sword Qis flew out from the Sword Sheath, directly charging towards the six nearest Foreign Races.
The others were caught off guard and quickly retreated on their flying artifacts.
Lu Xun continued to pursue relentlessly on his paper crane.
In this way, he managed to forced six of the Foreign Race to retreat unceasingly, leaving the three lowest level Foreign Race members exposed in front of the Sword-Serving Children.
This was intentional on Lu Xun’s part.
Cai Jiangjiang and the others quickly understood Lu Xun’s intentions.
“Wow! He even left the monsters for us! Lu Xun is so considerate!” Cai Jiangjiang thought to herself.
The wind blew, tossing her pigtails in the breeze.
Many people were fascinated by these pigtails, as in their eyes, they resembled the handlebars of a motorcycle, or the reins while riding a horse. If they could hold them in their hands… Ah, how wonderful would that be!
Wang Gangtie, being the most impulsive, rushed forward first.
Soon, the six players found themselves locked in combat with the three Foreign Race members.
They fought while exchanging banter and insults.
They would curse at the enemies one minute, and their own teammates the next. However, when they curse at their team, it’s just a metaphor, not literally cursing at their mothers.
If they ever met your mother in real life, they would be polite and call her “Auntie”.
“Xiao Guangming, do you have stomach problems lately or what? Did you crap out your brain? What the hell are you doing?” Wang Gangtie cursed, as Xiao Guangming’s damage output was unusually low in spite of Wang’s efforts as a tank.
“Your neck’s so thick, a pig’s head would fit on it perfectly. Look at the level gap! Be thankful I can break through their defense!” Xiao Guangming snapped back.
While fighting, Cai Jiangjiang was also directing the strategy of the team. “Pay attention to your positioning, Wang Gangtie. Avoid taking unnecessary damage, keep moving.”
Li Zuole was showing off his smooth movements. “Everyone should learn from me, watch how I handle this with style!”
No sooner had he finished speaking then he was struck by an opponent’s attack.
The opponents were between level 26 and 29, significantly higher than their own.
Cai Jiangjiang tried her best to control the scene, and direct everyone except Mo Guanji.
She was well aware Mo Guanji was of no help with strategy.
Sometimes, your teammate’s ability to feed the enemy kills is simply their talent.
Thankfully, Han Bagui, who rarely spoke, was unexpectedly strong in battle. If not for him protecting Mo Guanji, Mo Guanji would have died countless times already.
These three Foreign Race players, though stronger than them, were also feeling the pressure.
“I clearly impaled that woman like a kebab, how could she come back to life so quickly?”
“Are these people immortal?”
“The rumors about the Anomalies in Heavenly Dust Continent are actually true! These people really are undying!”
This made them feel extremely troubled as they battled, as if they were fighting a group of monsters!
A near-immortal group of beings!
Even though Cai Jiangjiang and the others were of lower levels, they could still inflict some damage after sacrificing a few lives.
With their number advantage, they slowly whittled away at the Foreign Race’s health bars.
Still, it was a tough fight.
If they kept dying, they would risk losing their levels!
The level gap was huge. Even the highest leveled among them, Li Zuole, had just reached level 19.
Just when things were looking dire, three Sword Qi suddenly flew out from the distance and pierced through the bodies of the foreign invaders.
Their health bars dropped rapidly and they quickly become critically injured.
“It’s Lu Xun! Lu Xun made the move!” They all knew.
But how could Lu Xun manage to assist them while fighting six opponents?
According to the pop-out information when they scanned those Foreign Race members, the danger level was marked as “Extremely Lethal”!
They hadn’t seen Lu Xun in action for so long that their impression of him was still based on his performance in the Demon Sect’s Outer Sect competition.
As the three severely injured Foreign Race members provided them with a bit of respite, they finally had an opportunity to observe Lu Xun’s situation.
But when they turned to look, they couldn’t see the other six Foreign Race contenders anywhere.
All the saw was a man in a black robe, holding a sword sheath, sitting quietly atop a paper crane.
Behind him, ashes from incinerated bodies mixed with embers drifted in the wind, moving farther and farther away.
