Chapter 1218

Someone claiming to be Lu Zhigang killed a great witch and forcefully descended upon the vast swamp sea.

After the news spread, powerful sorcerers from all directions flocked out, and large swaths of dark clouds swept across the sky, which were actually insect clouds formed by countless Gu worms.

On the altar, rare skilled professions such as shamans and sorcerers offered various sacrifices and began to carry out remote assassinations against the enemy.

In the sky, on the ground, and in the water, all kinds of insect eggs hatched rapidly, mated, and laid eggs, causing their numbers to explode.

The force participating in the siege of the Vast Swamp Sea consisted of dozens of powerful shamans, with a grandmaster-level shaman leader leading the charge.

This impressive lineup demonstrates the sorcerer's determination to exterminate the vast swamp sea; like a lion hunting a rabbit, they exert all their strength.

The slain high priest was no ordinary person; although he was only at the level of a strong martial artist, he was the most beloved disciple of the Senluo Witch.

Here we must mention Senluo Witch. It was an era in which many talented witches emerged. The Holy King Mingqiu Mang defeated the top human experts, including the second-best Zhenbei Ge. In addition, there were other shining stars among the powerful figures.

Senluo Wu was one of them. Originally a mid-stage Strong Martial, he accumulated strength and then rose to become a Grand Witch Leader at the Heavenly Sect level.

His disciple perished here, and even if the battle is a great victory, all the shamans who participated will be severely punished.

In an instant, the great witches from all directions sprang into action, wishing they could tear the poisonous warrior who had made the move to pieces.

"Lu Zhigang, are you sure the other person is calling himself Lu Zhigang?"

The messenger held a worm with fleshy ears on its back in his palm; this was called a "messenger gu," comparable to a flesh-and-blood radar, capable of hearing all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

This messenger gu intercepted a name of a great shaman before his death and, not daring to conceal it, immediately reported it to the other great shamans.

The high priest who asked the question had participated in the invasion of the northern lands. Although he had never launched an attack on the Wanli Swamp Sea, he had heard of Lu Zhigang's prowess.

But things are different now. The winds of witchcraft have shifted, and witches have gained the upper hand. Talented and powerful individuals have emerged in an explosive manner. Even Zhen Beige has been killed, and the Bei Xuan Zhu clan is practically wiped out. Even if Lu Zhen is Lu Zhigang, he is not afraid of him.

Uh, it really is Lu Zhigang!

From afar, one could see a venomous dragon shaking its head, its movements languid yet undiminished in majesty, casually inhaling the air, while countless venomous insects swarmed into its mouth like moths to a flame.

The venomous dragon's nostrils were puffing out hot air, as if it were releasing waste gas after digesting the deadly poison of the Gu worm.

It not only survived the poisoning, but also became even stronger and more ferocious.

"This is a poison-eating body-refining technique passed down through the Poison Taiyue lineage, nothing special, but..."

In the past, poison warriors have used this method to counter the methods of witches, but the toxins of the Gu worms are flexible and changeable, often able to bypass the so-called "immunity to all poisons" and "fight poison with poison" defenses, and kill the poison warriors on the spot.

Over time, no one dared to use this method to fight against the ubiquitous Gu worms anymore.

After all, the poison is alive, while the venom is dead; the ever-changing nature of the poison is impossible to guard against.

The great shamans had heard that Lu Zhigang inherited the Poison Martial Arts of Du Taiyue, absorbed several ancient poisons, surpassed his master, and even returned to his original state, mastering the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique.

The current sect leader and his wife, Lu Chongsheng, practice the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, which can suppress all poisons.

As a result of the witch's invasion, the ever-growing and evolving Gu worms broke through the limits of the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique. Under the siege of many great witches, Lu Chongsheng escaped with his life with the help of Chu Jianxiu.

"It's not the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, it's the Poison Dragon Realm of the Seven Steps Poison Sand Palm!"

A high shaman exclaimed in surprise, "How could such a trivial trick..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a muffled thud resounded. The great shaman who had been struck exploded on the spot, and the insect eggs and larvae nurtured within his body scattered like sesame seeds overturned, scattering black specks everywhere.

The insect eggs and larvae multiplied rapidly upon exposure to the wind, instantly transforming into a pest infestation, only to be devoured in one gulp by the venomous dragon's tongue. At this moment, the great shamans who had participated in the extermination of the Vast Swamp Sea arrived one after another, forming an encirclement around 'Lu Zhigang'.

Besides the nine who participated in the siege of Chu Jianxiu, the rest also arrived one after another.

There was no other reason. They had been hunting down Chu Jianxiu for months, and the number of dead was still more than they had in a single day. Because they had the upper hand, they had been pursuing him without any casualties. But... "..."

Most of the people present had never seen Lu Zhigang before, and as they asked each other, their gazes eventually fell on several 'seniors'.

The seniors confirmed it was the third person, nodding in agreement. Their appearance, aura, and fighting style all matched.

It's about realm...

"Lu Zhigang, how did you manage to conceal your true cultivation level? I see you're only at the fifth level of martial arts." A giant shaman asked, frowning.

His companion immediately refuted him, saying, "You don't understand anything. His level is the Strong Martial Realm."

It must be a powerful martial arts master, otherwise there's no way to explain how Lu Zhigang killed their companion with a single blow. A powerful martial arts master.

The giant shaman argued, "I mean, he deliberately displayed the level of a martial artist."

"No, it's powerful."

At this moment, a third party intervened, contradicting the two answers, "But the Lu Zhigang I observed is just a mortal!" For a moment, the three great shamans fell silent, each with a different opinion.

Strange, very strange, there's definitely something fishy going on.

Looking around at the high priests, each with a strange expression, it was as if they were witnessing a bizarre scene they could never have imagined in their dreams.

A faint voice rang out, "It's... the Chief Shaman!"

Wow, that's the fourth answer.

The chief shaman is a shamanic master, meaning that a great shaman has seen that Lu Lu Zhigang's level is that of a master.

It's not impossible that Zhou You cultivates some kind of secret technique, causing his cultivation level to fluctuate wildly, thus confusing his enemies and allowing him to strike unexpectedly at crucial moments.

The problem is that the great shamans present saw Lu Zhigang with a stable and unwavering realm, but the realms of Lu Zhigang seen by different people were vastly different, and there was not a single one that was the same.

From ordinary people to martial arts masters, and then to powerful martial artists and grandmasters, the list goes on.

Fortunately, there was no Martial Saint, otherwise these great witches wouldn't have dared to stay and would have scattered and run away long ago.

This 'Lu Zhigang' is naturally the clone cast by Zhou You's 'One Thought Without Form'. The reason why he appears to be a thousand different people in the eyes of many witches is because he has used the laws of the Nine Cauldrons.

The same thing happened with the Nine Cauldrons of the North; the same person would see completely different texts after blinking.

Since Zhou You was born from the heavens, this body has possessed the same properties, which can be simply called the 'Unpredictable Dharma Body'.

"Stop discussing this! This is his secret technique, meant to shake our resolve!"

Suddenly, the giant shaman roared, "With so many shamans here, and the shaman leader arriving immediately, what does it matter if he is a grandmaster? He will still become prey for us shamans!"

The shamans' spirit was stronger than ever before, which shocked Zhou You. They were not the same group of shamans he had seen before.

It's easy to imagine that since invading the northern lands, the Wu people have undergone a transformation and become a major threat to the Central Plains. The commotion of fighting and killing here also reached the ears of the two people in the secret chamber deep underground.
