My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 361 - 358 Attack King-level

District 11, inside the Cimu family residence.

A guest from District 1 was settled in the reception room.

If Lu Wu were in the reception room at that moment, he would have recognized the guest from District 1 as his grandfather’s friend, Xing Zhanlong.

The main reason Xing Zhanlong had come to the Cimu family was because of Lu Wu.

Of course, he didn’t know Lu Wu was Lu Wu.

He had only heard that someone in the Cimu family had passed through the Divine Blade Tower and obtained a Divine Artifact that could command obedience from tens of thousands of swords within hundreds of kilometers.

He wanted to meet that person and see that Divine Artifact.

Because that person, or rather that Divine Artifact, might be the key to curing Du Dao Hu Zi.

In truth, Xing Zhanlong’s visit was still for Du Dao Hu Zi.

Previously in Fucheng, Moon Shadow struck with resentment. Though she spared the life of Du Dao Hu Zi, the injuries were severe and she had not yet fully escaped danger.

Despite Xing Zhanlong’s efforts over the past month, using every method at his disposal, Du Dao Hu Zi remained in a coma.

The reason lay in Du Dao Hu Zi’s blade.

The Demon Blade turned on its owner after her injuries, becoming the biggest obstacle to her recovery.

So, during this time, Xing Zhanlong had been seeking ways to suppress the Demon Blade.

Now, he pinned his hopes on the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

Of course, Ibaraki Gangyan was still unaware of his purpose.

He didn’t even know someone was waiting to meet him.

This was because when Xing Zhanlong arrived, it was precisely when Lu Wu’s role was being played.

In the reception room, Xing Zhanlong anxiously awaited.

Suddenly, his expression changed and he quickly stepped out of the reception room and looked up. In an instant, the sky above the Cimu family turned dark with clouds, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

At the same time, a terrifying presence spread.

Feeling this presence, Xing Zhanlong’s eyes brightened, "Is this the power of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword?"

At that moment, he was both shocked and pleased.

From this eruption, he clearly felt the power of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

This power indeed had the potential to suppress the Demon Blade that afflicted Du Dao Hu Zi.

He was so excited that, had he not retained a shred of rationality, he might have rushed over on the spot.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself.

He did not make such reckless actions and honestly squatted in the reception room, waiting for an audience with Ibaraki Gangyan.

As for Ibaraki Gangyan,

he was refreshed after receiving a strike from Lu Wu.

He was ready to close off and digest the understanding from that strike when his subordinate reported that a VIP from District 1 sought an audience.

The timing, though annoying for Ibaraki Gangyan, prompted him to come immediately.

Ten minutes after Lu Wu’s strike, Ibaraki Gangyan met with Xing Zhanlong in the reception room.

"Xing Zhanlong pays his respects to Old Master Cimu."

As the requesting party, Xing Zhanlong promptly stood up and respectfully paid his respects.

On the other hand, Ibaraki Gangyan’s mood worsened a bit and his attitude cooled down as he saw Xing Zhanlong.

"Is it you?"

Ibaraki Gangyan and Xing Zhanlong knew each other, and their past interactions were not pleasant due to someone.

"I apologize for my bold visit, please forgive me, old master."

Being the supplicant, Xing Zhanlong kept his demeanor very proper and humble, Ibaraki Gangyan spared him a word, weighed the two people behind him, especially one with whom he had an unpleasant conflict, someone he now could not afford to provoke.

Eventually, he had to manage his emotions.

Of course, he wasn’t in the mood to waste words with Xing Zhanlong and went straight to the point, "Your sudden visit, what brings you here?"

"It’s like this, Mr. Xing heard that there is a young man in the Cimu family who has passed through the Divine Blade Tower…"

Xing Zhanlong bravely explained his purpose.

On hearing this, Ibaraki Gangyan’s attitude turned even colder.

After all, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was his taboo. No matter who it was or for what reason, he would not lend it out.

When Xing Zhanlong mentioned borrowing the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, Ibaraki Gangyan even thought of killing Xing Zhanlong.

But ultimately, Ibaraki Gangyan suppressed this thought.

After all, there were beings above King-level backing Xing Zhanlong, his own father being one, not to mention that existence that still made him shudder to this day.

Ibaraki Gangyan truly did not dare provoke that person.

However, not provoking that person and not lending the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to Xing Zhanlong were two different matters.

Killing Xing Zhanlong might draw those two people here.

But just not lending the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to Xing Zhanlong wouldn’t be a big problem.

Old Thief Cimu truly didn’t believe that those two people behind Xing Zhanlong would come for a Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

Those two were not ones to move easily.

Thus, Ibaraki Gangyan unhesitatingly refused.

"That sword does not have the functions you hope for, you should think of some other way.

Come! Send off the guest!"

Having just felt the power of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, how could Xing Zhanlong be so easily dismissed by Ibaraki Gangyan?

"No, no, no, Old Mr. Cimu, was the sword that erupted just now the one?

I can feel that this sword has the power to suppress the Demon Blade. Please, I beg Old Mr. Cimu to help me this once.

No matter the cost, I, Xing Zhanlong, am willing to pay."

Saying this, Xing Zhanlong even knelt down to Ibaraki Gangyan on the spot: "I know that my brother indeed offended Old Mr. Cimu years ago. I can apologize on his behalf and I am willing to compensate the Cimu family. Please, Old Sir, you must help me this time.

If Old Mr. Cimu can help me this time, Xing Zhanlong will never forget it!"

For the sake of Du Dao Hu Zi, Xing Zhanlong was willing to give up anything, including his dignity.

However, Ibaraki Gangyan clearly was not someone who would take pity just because someone bowed to him.

Xing Zhanlong was aware of this, so while he begged, and as Ibaraki Gangyan hesitated, he also raised his head and said firmly, "Of course, if Old Mr. Cimu does not even wish to lend a hand in this trivial matter, I, Xing Zhanlong, will also remember you for the rest of my life."

This statement was evidently more effective than the previous ones.

As these words were thrown out, Ibaraki Gangyan’s brows tightened, and his killing intent erupted once more.

The chilling killing intent even reached the point of being outwardly visible, which Xing Zhanlong could feel, but he was not in the least bit afraid.

After all, that was his stance.

This favor, you, Ibaraki Gangyan, must help, whether you want to or not!

Ultimately, it was Ibaraki Gangyan who gave in.

"I’ll allow you to try, but the sword and the person must not leave the Cimu family. If you want to save someone, bring them to the Cimu home!"

That was Ibaraki Gangyan’s bottom line. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Fine!"

Xing Zhanlong nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

On the other side, Lu Wu.

At this time, Lu Wu was unaware that Xing Zhanlong had already arrived at the Cimu family’s residence.

If he had known, he probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep.

Fortunately, he was unaware of this, so he was in a good mood.

Using Divine Wrath once more provided Lu Wu with a deeper understanding of this Skill.

After returning to his own dungeon, Lu Wu immediately began to meditate.

He integrated his new understanding of Divine Wrath into the Lu Family Swordsmanship.

Although this integration did not greatly improve the swordsmanship level and skill level of Lu Family Swordsmanship, it further accelerated Lu Wu’s integration of his own power.

Over the past week, Lu Wu had already integrated seven skills, including Power of the Ocean, Cold Ice Body, and Slap Lu Wu.

Except for Unyielding·Growth, which Lu Wu dared not touch.

Only Dragon Bone Power, Dragon Transformation, and Sky Dominating Stick were left unmerged.

Once these three skills were merged, Lu Wu’s power would formally break through to King-level.

"Feeling good right now, let’s push and see if I can merge these three skills today."

Buoyed by the activation of Divine Wrath, Lu Wu struck while the iron was hot.

First was the Skill of Sky Dominating Stick, the integration of this Inheritance Skill went quite smoothly, and Lu Wu swiftly incorporated it into the system of Lu Family Swordsmanship.

Transforming Sky Dominating Stick into a new sword maneuver.

But after completing the integration of Sky Dominating Stick, Lu Wu encountered problems.

No matter how hard he tried, he simply could not integrate Dragon Bone Power and Dragon Transformation into Lu Family Swordsmanship.

This was a tough situation.

Finally, Lu Wu gritted his teeth and merged Dragon Bone Power and Dragon Transformation together.

He was preparing to abandon integrating all his power together and was instead building a triangular system.

The core would be the Skill Universal Charger, with Lu Family Swordsmanship and the newly merged Skill of Dragon Bone Power and Dragon Transformation acting as the fulcrums to break through to King-level.

This idea was out of the box, but not impossible to execute.

Moreover, as Lu Wu was starting to merge Dragon Bone Power and Dragon Transformation, he found the process unexpectedly smooth.

In just a moment, these two skills were merged into one.

Following this, Lu Wu set up an Energy structure with Universal Charger as the core.

Once this structure was established, Lu Wu noticed that the Skill Unyielding·Growth, which he hadn’t approached before, suddenly began to activate.

At the same time, a burst of power naturally erupted from inside Lu Wu’s body.

This power was incredibly formidable; even though Lu Wu was prepared and had already dissipated 95% of his internal energy beforehand, the energy burst still directly stimulated Ibaraki Gangyan’s energy.

Consequently, this terrifying energy burst into action.

The terrifying energy explosion instantly scattered the newly born energy structure of Lu Wu, causing him severe injuries and even shattering the surroundings within dozens of meters.

At that moment, Ibaraki Gangyan’s face changed.

His figure flashed, and he arrived back in the dungeon at terrifying speed.

"This is bad!"

Seeing this old thief arrive at that moment, Lu Wu panicked and then passed out...

Is anyone there?

Ah...
