Chapter 376 The War Ends, A Great Victory
"Lu Hao, right? I learned your name from Zhang Tao before, but I didn't think much of it. But this time you've given me a big surprise. You really are a ninth-rank official?"
Nan Yunyue walked to Lu Hao's side, looked him up and down, and asked, "Minister Nan, I really am a ninth-rank cultivator, and I just broke through not long ago, as you should know." Lu Wu said with a smile.
"I do know that, but I didn't expect you to have such strong combat power right after your breakthrough. If I'm not mistaken, the power you unleashed when you killed those ninth-rank cultivators was at the peak of the ninth rank. To have such combat power right after your breakthrough, your Golden Body Forging must be quite high. In addition, with the Origin Path, you can have such an improvement. Your Origin Path must have already gone more than a mile, right?" Nan Yunyue asked curiously.
"Minister Nan really has a discerning eye; I have indeed traveled more than a mile along my original path."
Lu Hao replied helplessly. He couldn't very well say that he had only walked a hundred meters of his Origin Path, could he? If he did, combined with the combat power he unleashed, he would definitely have reached the Ninth Forged Golden Body.
"More than a mile! You really are a genius. At this rate of progress, it probably won't be long before you reach the pinnacle," Nan Yunyue said with mixed feelings.
After all, it was just a guess before. Now that Lu Hao has admitted it, she must be even more surprised. The Path of Origin is not easy to walk. You need to have a deep understanding to improve quickly. She was even a little envious of Lu Hao. He was so young and almost reached the pinnacle. Don't look at her. She seems to be young too. She is also of the same generation as Zhang Tao.
Lu Hao didn't refute anything. Since Nan Yunyue thought that way, he figured it was fine to just let it be a misunderstanding. After all, he wouldn't be long before he reached the pinnacle. This battle alone had given him nearly 60 kill points. He could go to the depths of the Forbidden Sea and kill again, and he would quickly advance to the pinnacle. "I have a favor to ask of you. It's not mandatory, but when you're close to reaching the pinnacle, you need to suppress your strength. I hope you can break through on the battlefield. You know our current situation isn't good. Break through on the battlefield, and kill a few more ninth-rank cultivators while you're breaking through. The pinnacle cultivators on the other side won't say anything. But after you break through, you can no longer recklessly attack those below the pinnacle. This is an unspoken rule that both sides abide by."
Nan Yunyue said, feeling helpless. If it weren't for the weakness of the human side, why would they have to include the petty schemes of the strong when they break through?
"Yes, no problem, Minister Nan. I'm a human being too, and I know what's important."
Lu Hao thought Nan Yunyue was going to tell him something, but it turned out to be just this little thing, which was no problem for him at all.
After all, others might be afraid of external interference when breaking through to the pinnacle, but Lu Hao already has this strength before even breaking through, so no one can interfere with him.
"Then I thank you on behalf of those valiant warriors. Perhaps you don't know, but our Minister Zhang's breakthrough back then was earth-shattering—he broke through after waking up from a nap. Li Zhen, on the other hand, broke through during battle, taking the opportunity to kill five or six ninth-rank warriors."
Seeing that Lu Hao had agreed, Nan Yunyue smiled and told him about Zhang Tao's dark history. In Nan Yunyue's eyes, Lu Hao would probably reach the pinnacle in no time, so she was telling him about Zhang Tao to give him a warning.
"Haha, I have heard about this. After all, it concerns Minister Zhang's major breakthrough, how could I not have heard about it?"
Lu Hao said with a smile.
Nan Yunyue was also talking to Lu Hao about some things related to martial arts, telling him about the problems he might encounter in developing the Origin Path. Although Lu Hao might not encounter them, he listened very carefully.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tao, who was planning various underground projects at the Ministry of Education, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed!
This is what that bastard is saying behind his back. Zhang Tao used his spiritual power to check Kyoto but couldn't find the person who was talking behind his back. Instead, he found two cult warriors. After handing them over to his subordinates, Zhang Tao didn't care who was talking about him anymore. It must be that the underground caves or the cult couldn't stand his great deeds, so they were cursing him. That must be it.
Inside the Tiannan Cave, several Grandmasters worked together and quickly killed all the remaining cave warriors. Several Grandmasters, including Lu Hao, sensed something and released their auras, looking into the distance. In the distance, eleven or twelve Rank 9 warriors had gathered, and the Rank 9 warriors of the cave had come together.
These people floated in mid-air, facing off against each other from afar.
Ultimately, they did not fight again, as both sides are currently in poor condition.
Back in the ruins of Tiannan City, looking down at the seventh and eighth-rank Grandmasters below, Li Deyong exclaimed with ecstasy, "In this battle, from the moment we entered the Tiannan Underground Cave, we have slain six ninth-rank masters and fifteen eighth-rank masters!"
"Man, killed 83 seventh-rank officials!"
"Victory!"
At this moment, all the grandmasters, no matter how serious their injuries, couldn't help but burst into tears and cheer loudly!
The number of opponents killed in this battle was comparable to the Battle of Kyoto back then, but the situation was not as tragic. No one of the ninth-ranked soldiers was lost, one of the eighth-ranked soldiers was lost in the passage, and two of the seventh-ranked soldiers were lost. Although the remaining ones were injured in the battle, it was still a great victory, an unprecedented victory. At this moment, everyone could not care about their grief, only joy and tears welling up in their eyes!
In the underground caves of the south, this battle shattered the illusion of a bright and clear world.
Six of the ninth-ranked opponents on the other side were killed, leaving only 16. But would they dare to fight again? You must remember that the ones who initially attacked the humans were 16 grandmasters.
And would the Demon Fate lineage really dare to wage a major war?
This time, six Rank 9 monsters and three Rank 9 demon beasts were killed. The Demon Fate City Lord, a Rank 9 demon, only had ten Rank 9 monsters in his lineage. Nearly half of them died. Would they dare to attack again?
Moreover, the Mountain Demon King escaped midway; they were afraid!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a standoff, but rather a continued attack—they're afraid of dying!
"Minister Nan, what was that commotion just now—"
No sooner had they landed than a grandmaster asked them a question.
"Something must have happened in Rose City, which is why the Rose City Lord and the Demon Plant are risking their lives to return."
As Nan Yunyue was speaking, Wu Kuishan and Huang Jing, who were listening, both had a bad feeling. Why did they feel like they had seen this scene somewhere before? The next moment, Nan Yunyue asked, "Principal Wu, have Fang Ping and the others come in? I saw them in the camp earlier."
"Hmm," Wu Kuishan said somewhat guiltily.
Where are they?
"I don't know, I heard she went to see Zhang Qingnan."
"Looking for Zhang Qingnan—isn't this just causing trouble? If nothing unexpected happens, it's them. These guys are really bold. Are they addicted to bombing the city?"
However, these little guys really did a great job this time, successfully luring the Rose City Lord and the demonic plant back.
Nan Yunyue laughed and scolded. After all, Fang Ping and the others had really made a significant contribution this time.
"Everyone, take a rest. It won't be long before they come back from the underground caves. They definitely won't give up."
Nan Yunyue didn't dwell on this. Anyway, she would know the details once Fang Ping and the others returned. After all, Fang Ping was the kind of person who couldn't hide anything from people.
