CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 371: LATE-STAGE GREAT GRANDMASTER

The terrifying Qi Blood coursed through Lu Sheng’s body, causing his physical form to continuously elevate under its influence.

Vaguely, it seemed as though Lu Sheng’s muscles pulsated like those of a giant dragon, filled with vibrant life force.

Perhaps it was this rush of Qi Blood that made his muscles appear exceptionally rosy.

Merely the physical power emanating from Lu Sheng’s body was enough to send ripples through the chamber’s space.

It was unclear how much time had passed when Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

In the depths of those eyes, one could vaguely see a blood-colored giant dragon circling, emitting an immensely terrifying aura.

Causing the entire chamber to tremble.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, a tremendously terrifying roar echoed within Lu Sheng’s body, accompanied by a surge of powerful energy that burst forth instantly.

"Great Grandmaster... late stage!"

Lu Sheng opened his eyes and spoke softly.

From his eyes, a brilliant light shot out.

The cultivation level of a late-stage Great Grandmaster!

Indeed, over these years, with the cultivation resources earned from the Luo Family, coupled with those left by Mo Tianji, Lu Sheng had reached the late stage of the Great Grandmaster realm in just a few years.

This speed... is considered almost miraculous in the entire Martial Arts Realm.

However, with the existence of the system, such speed is merely deemed quite decent for Lu Sheng.

"The physical power of a late-stage Great Grandmaster... is indeed somewhat special. Now, even against a peak Great Grandmaster, I can make a difference!"

"Furthermore... it’s not that easy for someone at the Venerable Level to defeat me!"

Lu Sheng said, the smile on his lips gradually deepening.

A Venerable Level expert is a cultivation only top counts and even some marquises in the entire Great Wei dynasty possess.

Such a level... already qualifies one to stand in the elite circles of Great Wei.

In this situation, Lu Sheng was naturally very satisfied.

"Once I kill that Xingyun Count and completely take over his body refinement practice ground, I will quickly break through to the Venerable Realm!"

"In this way, as my strength continually increases and I acquire more resources, the opportunity to achieve Martial God at Tier Eight will grow even greater!"

"However... the world consciousness of the Martial Arts Realm..."

Lu Sheng suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a peculiar expression.

"Forget it, Mo Tianji is also quite a character, but if he wants to use me, won’t he fear being backfired at some point?"

Lu Sheng seemed to recall something intriguing, a playful smile hanging on his lips.

"Mo Tianji, huh..."

"Duke Wei!"

Lu Sheng naturally was not unfamiliar with Mo Tianji’s identity, as among the Mo families throughout the Great Wei dynasty, the only ones with such power were the Duke Wei family.

A Duke’s power... can only be held by a Martial Saint!

In this situation, aside from Great Wei’s founding ancestor, they are almost at the peak of the entire dynasty. Even the current emperor must show them some respect.

They are admired by all eyes around.

But this is only the case for those of the Martial Arts Realm. For Lu Sheng... the number of Tier Seven Cosmic Life Forms that have perished at his hands is countless.

Even Tier Eight Cosmic Lives have fallen against him unknown times.

In such circumstances, Lu Sheng truly didn’t fear this so-called Martial Saint’s power.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, then slowly stood up, as his terrifying physical power spread with his movements, creating a wave of formidable energy throughout the chamber.

"The most important thing now, besides resolving this Xingyun Count!"

"If I don’t step over him to ascend, how could I possibly truly rise in the Martial Arts Realm!"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, spoke lightly, and then directly walked out of the chamber.

Upon stepping out of the chamber, Lu Sheng suddenly discovered that all members of the Luo Family, led by the Luo family’s elder, had already gathered in the Luo Family’s mansion.

At this moment, perceiving Lu Sheng’s emergence, all the Luo Family’s experts displayed expressions of excitement on their faces.

"We... have met the Patriarch!!"

"We are willing to die for the Luo Family!!"

One by one, the Luo Family’s experts shouted passionately, their gazes towards Lu Sheng filled with fervor.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn’t help but form a slight curve at the corner of his mouth at this moment.

"It seems all of you... are ready!"

"Then... let’s go!"

"Eradicate the rebellion!"

A faint voice echoed through the Luo Family residence.

...

Xingyun County, Xingyun Count’s Mansion.

At this moment, the entire Xingyun County was on high alert with the issuance of the imperial decree.

Though Xingyun County was a county of Great Wei, the Xingyun Count’s Mansion had operated there for years, and it was almost their territory.

Even with the imperial decree, they still obeyed the Xingyun Count’s Mansion.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that those within the court find the Xingyun Count’s Mansion so displeasing and even convinced His Majesty to issue a decree to eradicate Xingyun Count’s Mansion.

Inside the Xingyun Count’s Mansion at this moment, voices continued to rise.

"Report!! Fengxing County’s son has already led his army, heading towards Xingyun County!!"

"Report!! Fengxing County’s son has already taken Sui County and is heading towards Xingyun County!"

"Report!"

Voices echoed within the discussion hall of Xingyun Count’s Mansion. However, neither Xingyun Count nor his three sons showed any sign of agitation towards these reports.

Eldest son Wei Buping spoke slowly: "Within the Xingyun County’s domain, there are a total of eighteen counties. Fengxing County lies at the very edge of Xingyun County’s domain. To reach Xingyun County, they would need to pass through at least seven or eight counties, and that is the shortest route!"

"Moreover, there are three great checkpoints awaiting Fengxing County’s son. I truly cannot understand how a mere second-generation viscount dares to act on an imperial decree against my Xingyun Count’s Mansion!"

Wei Buping said, a disdainful smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.

As the eldest son of the Xingyun Count, he’s well aware of the situation in Great Wei. To defeat Xingyun Count, it would require the action of top earls, or even marquises.

Otherwise... it’s nearly impossible.

And Fengxing County’s son... is nothing more than a joke!
