Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1682: Chapter 1684: Knight-Errant Song

The entire exploration team looked over immediately upon hearing the loud noise!

Who the hell caused such a racket here?!

Are you looking to get yourself killed?!

There are plenty of ways to die, why would you choose this one?

No, no, that’s not right, it’s not just you looking to die, you’re trying to get everyone buried with you!

They wanted to intervene, but the words to stop him wouldn’t come out.

At two Mach speed, at twice the speed of sound, how could it give anyone time to react?

So, at the moment they heard the noise, Lu Xiaobu had already charged into the crowd of blood creatures.

Only that second-generation rich kid who had been staring at the grasslands noticed what was happening.

This time, no one stopped him from shouting: ”Oh my God!”

He really couldn’t believe what he was seeing!

A figure, moving at a speed that couldn’t even be described as rapid, rushed into the crowd of blood entities.

In an instant!

A human-shaped tunnel appeared in the dense crowd of blood creatures.

Yes, a human-shaped tunnel, not a pedestrian tunnel!

It was a tunnel with the shape of a person, from start to finish.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, the splattering blood solidified in the air, contrasting with the blood creatures on the ground in an eerie way!

Finally!

The exploration team snapped back to reality, quickly turning their heads, wearing the same disbelieving, existentially questioning expressions.

No one knew better than them about the toughness of these blood creatures’ bodies, bodies that even an ordinary flying sword couldn’t penetrate!

Yet now, they’d been shattered by a single person—if that was indeed a human, let’s just assume for now that it was—such a creature just slammed into them directly?

This guy had to be the real monster here!

”Captain...what do we do now...”

A team member asked, shivering.

They no longer needed to lower their voices; after all, every blood creature’s attention was now drawn to that human-shaped entity that had just charged in.

”Leave one person behind, everyone else follow!”

The captain gritted his teeth and said.

Their task was to observe these blood entities; now that something unusual had happened, whether it was a normal human attacking the blood creatures, or an internal problem within the blood creatures, having witnessed it, they had to follow up!

”What?! Follow?! Are you insane?!”

The second-generation kid asked frantically, thinking heading into such a crowd of blood creatures would be a death sentence!

He wasn’t going; definitely not!

The captain ignored him: ”Old Five, you stay with this fool, prepare to head back towards the entrance. Whether we return or not, make sure to pass this information along.”

”Understood!”

The team member called Old Five responded.

”Move out!”

At the captain’s command, the remaining team members rushed forward.

They were just at the outermost edge; despite the numerous blood creatures, their strength wasn’t formidable. Though they couldn’t physically shatter the blood creatures, killing them wasn’t too difficult.

They hadn’t dared to make a move earlier for fear of attracting attention, triggering a large-scale attack.

But now all the attention was drawn to that human-shaped being, so their progress posed no major issue.

Staying hidden was primary, slaughter secondary, they followed slowly, the continuous rumble offering the best directional guide.

After a while, they could no longer hear that rumbling, only the sounds of slaughter remaining.

They knew, now that humanoid entity couldn’t rely solely on speed to advance, it was starting to clear the way.

”Seems like it’s a human, and a rational one!” The captain made a simple judgment, then paused: ”Advance a bit further, get a closer look, if it turns untenable then retreat immediately.”

Without the cover of the rumbling, they couldn’t advance so easily.

However, they could still vaguely see what was happening up ahead.

At least they confirmed one thing, it was a person, a normal person, no, wait, what normal person would charge in there?

At that moment, they saw the person battling the blood creatures, strong as they were, two fists were hard pressed against four hands, let alone there being countless hands!

The quantity alone would be enough, yet they saw more advanced blood creatures gathering, so...

”That person is done for!”

The captain shook his head: ”Get ready to retreat!”

One glance was all it took, confirming their assumptions were correct at close range.

Hoping the Alliance Hierarch will take this seriously this time.

Just as they thought Lu Xiaobu was doomed and were about to withdraw.

A voice suddenly intruded into their ears.

From the direction of that person.

”Young friend, let me borrow your body,” a voice came over.

Immediately following, surprisingly, was a poem.

”The Zhao guest softly waves a brocade sash, the Wu hook glints like frost and snow.”

”The silver saddle shines on the white horse, galloping as swiftly as a shooting star.”

”Killing a person every ten steps, traveling miles without stopping.”

”After finishing, wiping off the blood, hiding oneself and his name.”

The exploration team was stunned—a poem here? Had this kid gone mad?

They couldn’t resist their curiosity, glanced back.

Only to abruptly find that the man struggling earlier had changed!

At that moment, the man was unrecognizable, swords light filling the sky!

The dazzling sword light outright suppressed the pervasive blood glow!

Any blood creature coming into contact with the sword light turned into blood rain instantly!

Even then, that blood rain couldn’t penetrate the depths of the sword light!

The sword light advanced, the poem continued!

”Drinking idly with Prince Xinling, laying the sword across the knees.”

”Grilling meat for Zhu Hai, raising a cup to Hou Ying.”

”Three cups for sincere promises, the Five Sacred Mountains bow in deference.”

”Dazzled and ears burning, resolving to be majestic and proud.”

”Rescuing Zhao with a gold mallet, first shocking Handan.”

”A thousand autumns of two brave men, renowned in Da Liang City.”

”Even in death, the bones of knights give off fragrance, not shamed among the world’s heroes.”

”Who can inscribe beneath the hero’s dwelling, the Great Profound Scripture with white hair?”

The ballad of the Knight by the Poet Immortal Li Bai!

Yes, now Lu Xiaobu’s body was no longer his alone; a poet named Li Bai borrowed it, and with this poem, unleashed a flood of sword light.

By the end of the poem, Lu Xiaobu had surprisingly advanced a hundred meters.

”So powerful!” Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

Just earlier, he had encountered Nascent Soul Stage blood creatures; himself being at the Nascent Soul Stage, but transformed here, he was merely holding out arduously!

Yet the Poet Immortal Li Bai, in merely borrowing his body, had completely swept away those blood creatures, truly powerful!

As it turns out, those unofficial histories stating Li Bai was not only an eloquent bard but an extraordinary swordsman weren’t entirely fabricated.

Li Bai wielded a sword from a young age, admired chivalrous travels, surely learned some swordplay, evidenced by the blood-stained path just now!

”Li Taibai! You’ve had your fun, it’s my turn now!”

Just then, a hearty voice came through: ”Young friend, let me borrow your body now!”

Here comes another one!
