“Do you still have any unused technique? If not, I’ll start attacking.”

Luo Song gritted her teeth. Although she had many techniques that she hadn’t used, the dwarf succubus wasn’t confident that she could defeat him now.

The petrification mist was her best attack skill. Yet, it couldn’t even harm Lu Fengxian.

The intimidation and the impact disheartened her. As an inexperienced teenager, she had already given up fighting.

“I admit defeat! I give up!”

Hearing Luo Song’s declaration, the crowd was thrown into an uproar. They booed and yelled at Luo Song for throwing the match.

“Bullshit! You can still fight!”

“I WANT MY MONEY BACK!”

“What kind of 5th-stage demon surrendering to a weakling of the Ding Family! This match is rigged!”

“What are you doing, bitch!? Kill that trash already!”

The spectators didn’t see or sense what Luo Song had experienced. They found it illogical for a 5th-stage demoness to be weaker than a 3rd-stage human cultivator. Even after Lu Fengxian advanced to the 4th-stage, they still believed that his strength was fake.

Li Wenyou only gazed at Luo Song. Then, he pretended that he didn’t hear it.

He wanted this match to continue!

Lu Fengxian glanced at the crowd and Li Wenyou. Then, he asked the latter.

“The match is over. Are you sure you want to continue the match?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Didn’t she just forfeit the match?”

Li Wenyou burst into laughter, “You’ve misunderstood something, Ding Bu. This is a deathmatch. It only ends after one of you dies! Now, if you want to win, kill her!”

“…”

This tournament began to get distasteful as Li Wenyou tried to force his hands. Even if Luo Song couldn’t kill Lu Fengxian, Li Wenyou attempted to manipulate him to offend Ma Ping and Jia Shan, who was the current owner of Luo Song and the succubi.

Lu Fengxian no longer looked or cared about Luo Song. Instead, he directed his killing intent toward Li Wenyou, “You have three breaths to announce the end of the match. If you don’t, your little tournament is over.”

Li Wenyou scoffed as he found the threat pointless. Then, Lu Fengxian’s killing intent enveloped the former.

Suddenly, from Li Wenyou’s point of view, Ding Bu transformed into Immortal Fengxian, revealing the aura of a supreme immortal of Heaven Goose Planet.

Ding Bu was just a youth with average clothes, delicate white skin, and a plain face. However, Lu Fengxian was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, a handsome facial layout, and rough skin. He exuded a threatening presence, which suffocated Li Wenyou.

“I-I-Immortal Fengxian!?”

Lu Fengxian sneered, “Ho? So, your heart devil is me? Well, tough luck. You won’t be able to overcome it no matter how hard you try.”

“W-What!?”

“Three-breath is up. I guess I should start killing now.”

Without waiting for Li Wenyou to react, Lu Fengxian circulated his newly acquired life essence and earth element Qi that he had stolen from Luo Song into his right arm. His feet kicked the ground and instantly appeared behind the referee.

Lu Fengxian’s right arm was coated with his sword Qi and earth element. He swung it at Li Wenyou’s neck.

“!!!”

Before Li Wenyou had realized that he was attacked, his head was already rolling on the ground. The headless neck gushed out a fountain of blood before it collapsed on the ground.

Lu Fengxian calmly searched Li Wenyou’s body and pulled out the corpse’s spatial ring. He overrode the ownership and scanned through the content.

40,000 refined stones were in there. Although earth-grade weapons, technique books, and pills in there were junk in Lu Fengxian’s eyes, he kept them as he was poor at the moment.

The murder shocked the crowd and other referees, who had been standing guard around the arena. Even Hua Xiong in the sky couldn’t believe his eyes.

“INSOLENCE!!”

Hua Xiong dove down, unleashing his dao avatar of a giant axe-wielding barbarian. He brought out a sky-grade halberd and merged his body with his dao avatar. Then, he swung the halberd.

Wind element and lightning element Qi resonated. Then, a lightning storm appeared from the tip of Hua Xiong’s weapon.

“Hmm…”

Lu Fengxian leaped backward to dodge the halberd strike.

BOOM

As soon as the halberd hit the arena marble floor, a hundred lightning bolts chased after Lu Fengxian.

Lu Fengxian’s body left a hundred afterimages, dodging the lightning bolts from Hua Xiong’s weapon. He leaped 100 meters away from his previous position to get out of the lightning dome.

As if Hua Xiong had an element domain, electricity light sparked and cracked, moving around him as if they were lightning snakes.

‘A wind-lightning pseudo domain user… I guess I’m scoring a wind element crystal and a lightning element crystal today.’

Lu Fengxian licked his lips, planning to fight Hua Xiong head-on. However, royal guards, Dong Zhongying’s underlings, and subordinate referees in the stadium rushed him.

“Hmm…”

…

“Dafuq,” Miaomiao might have read many novels, but he had never expected this protagonist to be this gutsy. Lu Fengxian downright murdered the referee during a tournament event, which was unheard of.

Ma Moxi was also shocked, “He’s… Lu Bu, alright. But is this the right development? Didn’t Lu Bu only kill Dong Zhuo and his men after Diao Chan’s Seduction Arc?”

“We can’t rely on Romance of the Three Kingdoms tale as a reference anymore,” Miaomiao stood up and patted his butt. “Let’s go help him now!”

“Are you sure, boss? We have nothing to gain from helping him.”

“Absolutely! We can’t miss this chance to get on his good side, or we’re screwed forever!”

Previously when Miaomiao had been plotting against Xie Tian, he used every villain to sabotage the protagonist’s storyline progress since his plot armor power was limited to the protection of the seniors.

However, in this case, Lu Fengxian was a walking plot armor with the [Invincibility] trait. He had supreme cultivation techniques from a higher realm, and his combat experience was superior to anyone within this mortal world. Unless Miaomiao could ascend to the higher realm and secure stronger cultivation techniques or weaponry, killing this protagonist would be impossible.

Therefore, falling out with Lu Fengxian was a stupid thing to do. Even if Miaomiao had to kill Lu Fengxian one day in the future, he couldn’t afford to become this protagonist’s enemy when he was still in the middle of self-evolving storyline arcs.

Miaomiao could have missed a lot of profit if he were to annul his friendship with Lu Fengxian here! Had he missed this opportunity, Lu Fengxian would grow stronger in a blink of an eye. Within a year, he might even ascend and reach godhood.

To catch up with Lu Fengxian’s progress, Miaomiao believed that he had to stay close to him, restraining the protagonist’s progress by leeching his resources. Also, Miaomiao had a theory that he might be able to alter Lu Fengxian’s destiny and transform him into one of the villains if he could pit him against other OP protagonists in the future.

In short, Miaomiao wanted to capture Lu Fengxian like a pokemon for future usage.

“Senior Luo, Shoufen, Ku’er, let’s go assist that man and slaughter everyone.”

Ma Moxi’s face changed while Ju Shoufen choked. She retorted, “I thought you wanted to save him. Why are we killing the people here!?”

Miaomiao laughed, “It’s simple. If Ding Bu wants to kill everybody in the stadium, we give him a hand. If he wants peace, we will negotiate for peace in his place.”

“Are we his followers now?”

“For now, let’s be Ding Bu’s lapdogs and flip this place upside down. I’ll explain my plan later in our dream world. Moxi, let’s go kick some asses.”

Ma Moxi’s air changed. Instead of talking to Miaomiao as if they were brothers, he cupped his fist and saluted. He adjusted his mindset, transforming into the world’s best assassin.

“Affirmative.”

Ma Moxi disappeared and went ahead. Miaomiao, Ku’er, and Ju Shoufen flew out of the VIP box room.

Meanwhile, Luo Cheng was confused why he had to help Lu Fengxian since he had offended his daughter. Still, as Li Wenyou had attempted to force Luo Song and Lu Fengxian to kill each other, the dwarf elder had no problem about slaughtering the entire city to return the favor.

Luo Cheng still didn’t like Miaomiao since the latter was as brash, rash, bloodthirsty, and reckless as when he had first met him. He also wondered why Ma Moxi, Ju Shoufen, and Ku’er listened to Miaomiao instead of using their own judgment.

“These people are too bloodthirsty! How can they let that lunatic control their lives!?”

…

Lu Fengxian was enjoying himself, waving his arms left and right.

Every time he waved his arm, someone from the closest distance was sliced in half. Fifth-stage elders, sixth-stage warriors, whoever showed an opening, Lu Fengxian capitalized it and killed the person on the spot.

A minute had passed since Hua Xiong and stadium elders began attacking Lu Fengxian. Yet, none of them could land a blow on him.

The protagonist’s footwork technique was so mysterious. Hua Xiong thought that he had landed a critical hit on Lu Fengxian since he had received feedback impact from his weapon. However, the destroyed target was just an illusion.

The fake bodies were so realistic that nobody could differentiate if they were Lu Fengxian or his afterimages. A hundred new afterimages appeared every second, and none of the elders could pinpoint the real body.

“USE WIDE-AREA TECHNIQUES! ATTACK ALL THOSE FAKE BODIES AT ONCE!” Hua Xiong commanded the royal guards and elders to start using AOE skills.

A thousand 5th-stage royal guards surrounded the arena, forming ranks. The front row incanted and unleashed firestorm and wind cutter tornados toward Lu Fengxian.

Fire and wind became one, turning the stage into the sea of fire.

Again, the villains’ intelligence degraded when they fought a protagonist. They had forgotten that Lu Fengxian could inhale element Qi and turn them into his power.

Seeing the incoming power, Lu Fengxian laughed, “Thanks for the food. You guys are very generous!”

The protagonist deeply inhaled, absorbing the fire element and wind element Qi into his lungs and dantian. Like a black hole whirlpool, everything was sucked into his body.

It only took three seconds for Lu Fengxian to devour everything this time. Because of the two new element Qi, he condensed three primary elements and three seas of Life Essence in an instant. Yet, all Qi and Essence were stored in his muscle and bone, continually refining his physique with the new elemental Qi.

“Bastard!”

Seeing that the youth had stolen their power, Hua Xiong was enraged. He charged at Lu Fengxian with his war halberd again.

Lu Fengxian glanced at Hua Xiong and clicked his tongue. He needed a minute to sort all the new Qi to the right parts of his body before he could use them. Thus, he didn’t feel like moving around at the moment.

As if his plot armor had activated, Miaomiao appeared in front of Lu Fengxian. Then, he tore one of the Light Element Talisman that he got from OG-Buddha.

FLASH

Suddenly, a light beam descended from the sky and covered Lu Fengxian and Miaomiao, becoming a pillar barrier around them.

CLANK

Hua Xiong’s strike hit the light pillar barrier. However, a deep wound appeared on his chest.

The light deflected the power back to its user! Instead of cutting through the light barrier, Hua Xiong’s attack cut himself.

The power was so mysterious that the crowd and the royal guards were dumbfounded. They temporarily stopped fighting to gaze at the light pillar, which descended from the sky.

The talisman contained the power of a dao god. Unless the attackers were immortals, none of them could attack the people inside the pillar barrier.

“Are you alright, senior?” Miaomiao swiped the sweat on his face without looking back at Lu Fengxian.

The protagonist raised his eyebrows, admiring the pillar of light. He recognized this ability.

“Isn’t this one of OG-Buddha’s three signature powers, the Benevolent Light? Are you his vessel?”

Miaomiao turned around and looked at Lu Fengxian with widened eyes, “You know him!?”

“We chatted a bit before we parted ways. He’s a cool monk, though his personality is a bit obnoxious.”

Ding

[OG-Buddha disagrees with Ding Bu’s remark. He is benevolent, kind, and merciful.]

Lu Fengxian continued, “He always bragged that he’s benevolent, kind, and merciful, but nobody knows that he’s a fucking obnoxious gangster. I still remember him sitting cross-legged on the Minotaur god’s back, wearing sunglasses and a black-dyed unicorn leather jacket, smoking a pipe, and raising a banner, “Universe’s Coolest God”.

“…”

What kind of Buddha Lu Fengxian was talking about?

Ding

[OG-Buddha remembers the description. That day, he met Lu Fengxian after he had come back from the Universe Coolest Daoist Pageant, and he won by a landslide.]

“…”

That was unnecessary information. Miaomiao wanted to facepalm in embarrassment that he had been protected by this freak for months.

While Lu Fengxian was reminiscing the past and Miaomiao was inwardly facepalming, the others started doing their job.

Ma Moxi appeared behind the formation of royal guards and sliced off their necks, one at a time. None of the men even realized that their friends fell one after another.

Ju Shoufen spread her fire wings and floated in front of Luo Song, protecting the girl from stray attacks from the people below while raining acid fire onto anyone who came to kill the dwarf girl.

Ku’er was more ruthless. She transformed into a giant white fox with two tails. Then, a thousand semi-transparent beasts appeared around her.

The spiritual beasts roared and scrambled everywhere mauling royal guards and referee elders.

Luo Cheng came late. However, instead of joining the chaos, he flew beside his daughter, protecting her alongside Ju Shoufen.

The other succubi also rode their flying sword treasures to be around Luo Song as the chaotic fight might reach them. They hid behind Ju Shoufen and Luo Cheng, looking at the crowd in wary.

The tournament had unexpectedly turned into a slaughter!
