My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

18: Fishing enforcement, Liu Ruxue took the baitA heaven rank magical treasure!

Upon seeing this heaven rank magical treasure, even Liu Ruxue felt her heart stir.

Magic Treasures on the Qinglian Continent are categorized into four major ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Above these four ranks are Saint-grade Magic Treasures and God-grade Magic Treasures, simply referred to as Saint Artifacts and Divine Artifacts.

Divine Artifacts only exist in legends; no one has ever seen a so-called Divine Artifact.

Even Saint Artifacts are only possessed by a few top-tier powers.

The Tianyan Dynasty is merely an unknown entity on the entire Qinglian Continent, not amounting to much at all.

Even the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family possesses only one heaven rank magical treasure.

That Magic Treasure is regarded by the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family as a national treasure.

From this, one can see the importance of a heaven rank magical treasure.

Even though the Liu family, to which Liu Ruxue belongs, is a prominent aristocratic family in the Tianyan Dynasty with a considerable foundation, there isn’t a single heaven rank magical treasure within the family.

The only one they can present is the Earth Rank Magic Treasure in the hands of the family’s Old Ancestor.

If Liu Ruxue could obtain this heaven rank magical treasure, her strength would see a significant improvement.

”Follow me into the valley to seize this Magic Treasure.”

Liu Ruxue commanded, and her figure transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the valley without looking back.

The next moment, she had already appeared inside the valley.

Gazing at the precious sword not far away, Liu Ruxue’s expression became slightly solemn.

She had already sensed that there seemed to be powerful restrictions guarding the precious sword.

Liu Ruxue’s figure flickered, and she quickly activated the spiritual energy within her, emitting a brilliant light.

The entire valley was instantly illuminated by this light, which, like a myriad of stars, shot directly towards the precious sword.

The restrictions around the precious sword also began to operate rapidly.

Under a series of heavenly thunderous pressures, they transformed into extremely terrifying divine abilities.

They roared and suppressed the direction where Liu Ruxue was located.

”Oh no! I was careless.”

”I didn’t expect this restrictive power to be so formidable.”

Sensing the brilliant light emitted by the thunderous power, Liu Ruxue was greatly alarmed.

Just now, she was only focused on seizing the precious sword, but she overlooked the restrictive power around it.

If struck by this lightning, she would surely die.

”Quick, rescue Miss!”

The Liu family’s experts saw this and their expressions changed dramatically.

They all unleashed their divine abilities, continuously striking at the restrictions.

They attempted to help Miss avoid this calamity.

Just at this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A sense of deadly crisis, overwhelming and all-encompassing, swept over them.

The sound of a sword’s cry suddenly erupted behind Liu Ruxue.

It was as if the entire world was drawn to this sword cry.

One sword’s light illuminated ten states, its gleam extending for thousands of miles, almost completely severing half of the void.

Like a dragon emerging from the sea, it directly targeted Liu Ruxue’s location.

The timing of this sword gleam’s strike was extremely subtle, occurring at the opportune moment when Liu Ruxue and the Liu family’s experts were confronting the restrictions.

Liu Ruxue and the Liu family’s experts had their attention entirely focused on combating the restrictions, leaving their backs exposed and giving the opponent an opening.

At this moment, Liu Ruxue and the Liu family’s experts were inescapable.

In front was the threat of the restrictions, and behind was that terrifying sword gleam.

Facing a pincer attack, they had fallen into a deadly trap.

Liu Ruxue’s face was extremely grim, her cheeks instantly turning pale.

Her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Could it be that she, Liu Ruxue, was going to perish here today?

”Protect Miss!”

Two Liu family experts exchanged glances, both seeing the other’s thoughts in their eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly withdrew their moves, unleashing all their power.

They met the challenge head-on, rushing directly towards the sword gleam.

Bang!

A dull sound was heard, and the sword gleam instantly devoured the bodies of the two Liu family experts, turning them into specks of light that completely scattered across the valley.

With the obstruction of these two, the sword gleam’s power was greatly diminished. However, it still pressed forward, completely enveloping the Liu family experts and Liu Ruxue herself.

Under the shroud of the sword gleam, countless Liu family experts were killed or wounded.

Even Liu Ruxue herself was severely injured, collapsing to the ground.

A man in green robes, no one knew when, had already appeared behind Liu Ruxue.

The person who came was none other than Lu Fengming.

Seeing Lu Fengming’s sudden appearance, Liu Ruxue’s face changed drastically, and she said in terror, ”It’s you, it’s actually you, Lu Fengming! How could you be here?”

Lu Fengming surveyed Liu Ruxue up and down, then said with a chuckle, ”Don’t you all want to kill me, Lu Fengming? I’m right here in front of you now, giving you this chance, but alas, you’re a bit useless.”

”I’ve been waiting for you here for so long, and you only now come to your deaths; it’s truly a waste of my time.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruxue was greatly alarmed, and she stammered, ”You... what did you say? You were waiting for us here? Could it be that this place is a trap you set?”

”Indeed, that’s right.”

Hearing Lu Fengming’s blunt admission, Liu Ruxue’s beautiful eyes showed a look of disbelief, and she subconsciously asked, ”How did you know I would definitely appear here to seize this treasure, and that no other cultivator would get there first?”

At this, Lu Fengming’s face showed a faint smile, and he whispered, ”I naturally wasn’t sure if you would be the first to arrive, so I’ve been waiting here for your arrival, until you arrived just now.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruxue’s pretty face turned extremely cold: ”Could it be that other cultivators came here before?”

Lu Fengming merely smiled indifferently, saying nothing more.

With a wave of his hand, the valley had undergone earth-shattering changes.

It turned out that this valley had long been set up with an illusion array by Lu Fengming.

As Lu Fengming’s magical power was unleashed, it had returned to its original appearance.

A smell of blood wafted through the air.

What greeted their eyes were corpses, scattered throughout the entire valley.

All these people were the many cultivators who had participated in the encirclement and killing of Lu Fengming this time.

There were Lu family experts, Tianqing Academy experts, and even many experts from the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family.

These people had all died in the valley, at Lu Fengming’s hands.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ruxue’s pupils contracted.

The scene before her had completely exceeded Liu Ruxue’s expectations.

Before this, Liu Ruxue’s heart still held a hint of curiosity.

She didn’t understand why Lu Fengming was so certain that she would run into the valley to seize that Heaven Rank precious sword.

After all, it wasn’t just Liu Ruxue and the Liu family’s experts who came to encircle and kill Lu Fengming this time.

There were also countless aristocratic families and experts from other forces, all participating.

If people from other forces had arrived first, found this precious sword, and came to retrieve it, with the temptation of this precious sword, Liu Ruxue would have absolutely no reason to enter the valley.

Lu Fengming’s ambush here would then be meaningless.

But now, the corpses that met her eyes made Liu Ruxue understand everything.

Lu Fengming had directly annihilated all the cultivators who came to seize the precious sword, killing them one by one, just waiting for her arrival.

In reality, what Lu Fengming wanted to wait for was not just Liu Ruxue.

More accurately, it wasn’t only Liu Ruxue.

Fishing for lawbreakers!

Any cultivator who wanted to enter the valley to retrieve the item, Lu Fengming opened his doors wide and welcomed them with extreme enthusiasm.

Having understood this point, Liu Ruxue’s expression changed once again, and she said in a low voice, ”I never imagined you would be so ruthless and inhumane, resorting to any means to achieve your goal, actually killing so many people in one go.”

”You are simply depraved and worse than a beast.”

Liu Ruxue had not expected Lu Fengming to be so cruel.

The cultivators who died at Lu Fengming’s hands numbered more than a hundred.
