Chapter 75: Mount Xumi (Twenty-two)
The moment , the slow-witted King Ashura finally understood that Lu Ren and his group were not the reincarnated living Buddha or the savior he chose.
However, King Asura, or any member of the Asura clan, could accept being cheated. King Asura slapped his head and said in annoyance, "Oh no! I was cheated again!"
He finally realized that these were simply a group of charlatans and scammers from another world.
Although deep in his heart, King Asura firmly believed that Shakya and Poxun were two losers, he should defeat them by himself and rely on his strength. He disdained to go to the outside world to find some so-called reinforcements, and he was even more ashamed to go to the outside world to find some so-called reinforcements, which was a mean act.
So King Asura urgently took Sati and changed camp, standing on the side of Pojun and Shakya. In the face of foreign invaders, we must unite to face the outside world. This law seems to apply everywhere.
Indra, Garolou, Naga and Maitreya stopped arguing the moment the people from the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau appeared, and returned to the back of Sakya and Mara, ready to fight against the new enemies together.
At this point, although no one knows why, Lu Ren and his colleagues have obviously completely become the biggest villain group in the entire venue.
Maitreya and Indra, who were behind Posun and Shakya, looked at each other and locked their eyes on Lu Ren, who was sitting on the back of the Qilin cub. The reason was simple. As two people who had had contact with Lu Ren before, they knew very well how weak Lu Ren was . Maitreya, the culprit who caused the situation to become what it is today, knew very clearly that the origin of everything was that she had sneaked into the human world and kidnapped Lu Ren who was participating in the parade in the amusement park.
Maitreya knew clearly how important the seemingly insignificant Lu Ren was to these people who seemed to have great supernatural powers. After all, these people came to Mount Sumeru to save him.
So Maitreya gave Emperor Shitian a look that said "It's him", and then the two of them rushed towards Lu Ren in tacit understanding, ready to capture Lu Ren first and take him hostage. Of course, Yu Shi and others couldn't just sit back and watch. Almost at the moment when Maitreya and Emperor Shitian took action, Lu Wu and Tushan Qiluo quickly stopped them.
Tushan Qiluo and Luwu had not had time to change out of their dance troupe costumes, so Maitreya recognized them at a glance. Then she realized that she might not only be the root cause of the battle, but she might even have helped transport enemy soldiers inadvertently. But this realization did not cause much psychological burden to Maitreya. The more chaotic the situation, the more likely it would be for Maitreya to destroy the hamster wheel set up by Poxun for her. She only needed to adapt to the situation.
At the same time, during the routine part of swearing harsh words, Emperor Shitian, who also recognized the two, said to Tushan Qiluo: "I remember you. You are the musician who can't play music and the dancer who dances badly."
As soon as Emperor Shitian finished speaking, Lu Ren saw that Tushan Qiluo was visibly burning with anger. She howled on the spot and turned into a giant nine-tailed fox. She then rushed towards Emperor Shitian aggressively, saying to Lu Wu, "Let me take care of this person who doesn't know how to appreciate art!"
Lu Wu had no objection. When it came to choosing enemies, he was happy to indulge his only disciple in a thousand years. So Lu Wu consciously made way for Tushan Qiluo, and by the way stopped Maitreya who was about to ignore Indra's life and death and continue to capture Lu Ren.
As the target of the enemy, Lu Ren wiped his sweat nervously after witnessing the whole process of Tushan Qiluo's anger. Fortunately, when he saw her doing radio gymnastics, Lu Ren did not laugh out loud, otherwise he might have been beheaded.
The Qilin cub carried Lu Ren on its back and moved around in the square where explosions were ringing everywhere. Even though there were offensive spells and lethal weapons flying everywhere, Lu Ren was as steady as if he was visiting a battlefield.
As the unicorn cub flew, Lu Ren saw the Rain Master and the Wind Master. As the only two department leaders present, the greater the position, the greater the responsibility. They were currently restraining Shakya and Poxun. Although they might not be opponents in a one-on-one fight, they were old partners who had worked together for eight thousand years after all. Working together, they could still achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two. With their superb cooperation, they could even fight against the Supreme God of Mount Xumi. Having said that, the two of them were obviously struggling to resist.
At this moment, the square was already in a state of chaos. The Dragon Girl and Baihua were resisting the brute force attack of the Ashura King and Sati. But what was more surprising was that although these two ladies looked delicate, the Dragon Girl's double swords could easily block Sati's full-strength long sword. In terms of brute force, their strength was really not inferior to that of the Ashura tribe. Lu Ren saw that Sati's face had already shown an expression of effort. Obviously, if she wanted to deal with the Dragon Girl, Sati would still have to suffer.
Of course, there can’t be only good news in the world.
The bad news is that Lu Ren's camp does not have enough thugs, so now Garuda and Naga are like a piece of empty space, rushing straight towards Lu Ren.
The good news was that when Naga rushed halfway, Maitreya fell heavily to the ground after being beaten by Lu Wu, and she could only hear a muffled groan from her mouth. The sound was not loud, but Naga still chose to turn around and go to help Maitreya as soon as possible.
Garuda noticed Naga's sudden turn and couldn't help but shout at his back while chasing the Qilin cub: "Naga, where are you going? Join me to catch this stowaway first!"
Naga left without any hesitation: "The Prajnaparamita mantra on my head hurts. It must be her calling me. I have to go and help."
At this moment, Maitreya, the caster of the Prajna Mantra, was busy vomiting blood and had no time to care about chanting the mantra.
Thanks to Naga's love-brained nature, Lu Ren was lucky enough not to be hunted by the Dragon King and the Garuda at the same time. But even with Garuda alone, Lu Ren and the Qilin cub were still in danger while evading. After all, the speed of the Garuda is rare in the world. But few people know this , because Garuda has not seriously hunted anyone for many years. In Mount Xumi, being killed by Garuda can even be considered a great honor.
Of course, Lu Ren chose to decline this honor. Facing the sudden pursuit of Garuda, the Qilin cub ran at the fastest speed in his life. But animals are not as fast as birds. Lu Ren, who was sitting on the back of the Qilin cub, turned around and looked back, and found that the distance between Garuda and them was obviously shrinking.
However, this was not the worst. The worst thing was that when Lu Ren entered the range of Garuda, Garuda began to shake its wings. The feathers on his wings suddenly fell off, but they did not fall to the ground. Instead, they seemed to float in the air with something to rely on. Then, the originally soft feathers suddenly became straight, like a knife, with the blade facing Lu Ren and the Qilin cub. With Garuda's "go", the golden feathers were like bullets, and instantly attacked the man and the beast.
Lu Ren nervously shouted to the running Qilin cub, "Be careful." Then he lay down and hugged the Qilin cub's back. On the one hand, he didn't want to sit too high and become a living target for Garuda. On the other hand, Lu Ren didn't want the Qilin cub to be hurt in order to protect him, so he also wanted to do his best to protect the Qilin cub.
Fortunately, the Qilin cub moved flexibly and successfully avoided being hit by the golden feather. But while avoiding damage, the Qilin cub also sacrificed his speed, which allowed Garuda to successfully catch up with Lu Ren and the Qilin cub. He raised the long stick in his hand high and was about to swing the stick at Lu Ren who was still holding the Qilin cub tightly.
Seeing this, the people who were still fighting wanted to rush over to help, but their opponents were not so easy to get rid of. At one time, several exclamations rang out on the field: "Aren!"
Just as the crowd cheered, Jialuo Lou swung his long stick down instantly, a huge crash sounded on the field, and a huge cloud of dust was raised.
However, the next second, a blue flame with smoke and dust rose from the place where the collision sound occurred, like a signal smoke. The moment everyone in the Immigrant Household Survey Bureau saw the flame, they smiled with relief.
The Dragon Girl didn't even need to see the result after the smoke cleared. She just smiled and complained, "Damn it, you're so late!" Then she turned around happily and joined the battle.
The flames and smoke gradually dissipated, and two tall figures appeared in front of Lu Ren and Qilin cub.
It’s Lu Qingzhou and Jun Fang.
Lu Qingzhou, who had just blocked Garuda's attack, did not intend to let Garuda catch his breath. He just held his sword and pursued. The blue flames wrapped around the black sword, burning all the golden feathers shot by Garuda.
Perhaps because he knew that Lu Qingzhou alone was enough to deal with Garuda, Jun Fang did not rush to help, but happily went to find Lu Ren: "Ah Ren! I finally found you!"
Lu Ren, who had escaped death, was still gasping for breath. He looked at Jun Fang in shock and said, "Jun Fang, thank God. If you and Team Leader Lu hadn't shown up in time, I would have been beaten to a pulp on the spot."
Jun Fang still smiled innocently: "What a coincidence. Team Leader Lu and I got lost right after we arrived at Mount Xumi. Thanks to the blood contract you and I signed, I was able to follow the smell and find my way here. Fortunately, I'm not late."
"Smell?" Lu Ren raised his sleeve and sniffed, "No smell at all."
Jun Fang then explained: "It's not body odor, it's the smell of the soul. Only evil creatures that have signed a blood contract can smell the scent of their master."
Lu Ren nodded, not quite understanding.
As they were talking, the battle was almost over. The Rain Master, Wind Master, and Tushan Qiluo were clearly defeated, while Maitreya and Sati were defeated and injured. Naga, King Asura, Luwu, Baihua, and Dragon Girl were still in a stalemate.
On the tower of Shanjian City, Yinglong, who was watching the excitement with great interest, saw Si Yuan take a step forward and asked eagerly, "Is it our turn?"
Si Yuan looked ahead, nodded calmly, and replied: "We have captured almost all the people, let's end this boring war."
