I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 348. Great Tao contends, can advance but cannot retreat

Chapter 348: 348. Great Tao contends, can advance but cannot retreat

Divine Soul Sword Control zipped through the sky at 2.5 times the speed of sound, which was 3,000 kilometers an hour.

Even though the target was more than 200 kilometers away, Lu Li arrived in just over 4 minutes.

He saw, on the magnificent expanse of the Yangtze River, numerous cargo ships bustling to and fro.

Tall smokestacks billowed thick smoke, while wooden sailboats were a rare sight.

"The technology of this Otherworld has surpassed our era by decades."

This wasn’t surprising since cultivators were naturally scientists and engineers.

Lu Li remembered that during the "Life and Death Arena," an aircraft manufacturer had wanted to hire him.

But without a corresponding moral baseline, overly advanced technology wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

At that moment, Lu Li focused on a large passenger and cargo ship on the river.

The ship, over 70 meters long, even mounted a "105mm cannon" at the bow, looking very imposing.

This was precisely the ship "Lang Fantian" owned, according to information from the Kill Body Society. The ship was carrying two tons of Ice Soul Powder.

Lang Fantian, a Blood Swapping Warrior who owned a shipping company, monopolized the transport business along a stretch of the route.

Transporting goods required paying him a hefty sum, otherwise, he would ensure the destruction of both ship and crew.

Such underworld figures naturally wouldn’t miss out on the lucrative opportunity with Ice Soul Powder, and made a large move with two tons.

But unexpectedly, just after setting sail, they encountered a major operation from the Kill Body Society.

This batch of goods was financed with loans from Yokohama Bank; it could not afford to be compromised.

Lang Fantian and his trusted aides holed up in the cargo hold, guarding day and night, never leaving its side.

But it wasn’t just the fear of thieves stealing; the constant worry was truly suffocating.

Lang Fantian, waving a fan to ward off insects, cursed loudly:

"Those Daoist dogs, full of shit! Daring to mess with my goods, I’ll skin them alive!"

While cursing, he also raised a "Type 93 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun."

More than twenty of his subordinates were also armed with large-caliber automatic weapons from Chuyun, ready for a fight.

If a battle erupted, the Kill Body Society would surely sustain heavy casualties.

Fortunately, those arriving wielded the Divine Soul Sword Control~

Lu Li did not take his opponents seriously at all, directly controlling his sword to strike the ship!

At the same time, Lang Fantian suddenly looked at his own arm, noticing the hairs standing on end.

Then, a powerful wave of spirit swept across the area, the electric-like tingling numbing people.

"Damn! Soul Emergence Cultivation! Bloody Daoists!"

Lang Fantian turned pale with horror, never expecting such a high-level expert to come after him.

It was just two tons of opium, was it worth it? Having a Soul Emergence Cultivator so idle!

By now it was too late, but with a loud bang, the cabin suddenly burst open.

A sharp, cold, frost-like Green Frost Sword, controlled by Lu Li, drilled in.

With a weight of one kilogram and twice the speed of sound, its kinetic energy alone was 400,000 joules, not to mention the spinning motion of the flying sword fully releasing its energy.

The shattered remnants of the ship’s hull blasted out like shotgun pellets, instantly exploding many lackeys.

Inside the cabin, there was a chaotic mess of flesh and blood; as the people’s shocked faces turned to scream... a sudden burst of cold light interrupted them.

The "Green Frost Sword" sliced through the crowd, leaving a blurred trail of light, instantly obliterating the remaining fodder, sparing only Lang Fantian.

The cabin fell eerily silent except for an empty wine bottle clattering on the floor with the waves.

Lang Fantian instinctively raised his gun in defense, stammering:

"Real Master, I am the brother-in-law of the Anhui Governor, I only ask to spare my life..."

Lu Li hovered in front of this man, his spirit vibrating the air to produce a voice identical to his own, asking:

"Do you know where the Chuyun people’s opium factory is?"

"I really don’t know; this batch was bought at Tongling Pier..."

Before Lang Fantian could finish his sentence, Lu Li had already struck with his sword.

With a swish, he cleaved the man and the machine gun into two pieces.

All enemies were dead, and the entire process took less than a minute!

Lu Li controlled his sword to leave through the gaping hole in the cabin, but saw several men on the river nearby bowing towards him.

These were members of the Kill Body Society, who would handle the aftermath.

Lu Li soared through the skies at supersonic speeds, feeling the thrilling rush, and found his Sword Control increasingly intuitive.

The Flying Sword, much like a person’s fingers, becomes more flexible with more practice.

And his Divine Soul, having left the warm comfort of his body for a long time, was getting used to the external world.

His subconscious was becoming more perfected, and it wouldn’t be long before he could perform the "Eye-Opening" and manifest eyes.

"Real combat truly is better than dull training; life indeed thrives in movement."

While self-assessing, Lu Li had returned to Qixia Mountain on his flying sword.

Xia Weiyun had been waiting by his side, and seeing her husband’s flying sword return, she immediately exclaimed with joy:

"It’s all done within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! Truly efficient!"

"It’s also because the opponents were too weak."

Lu Li’s Divine Soul returned, and he hugged his elder sister, fondling melons:

"The puppets have also finished their tasks. Just let me know if there are any more challenges."

At this moment, the puppets had also eliminated their enemies. The combined effort of master and servant was indeed incredibly efficient.

Xia Weiyun was initially pleased, but then hastily pushed away her little husband’s hands, blushing as she said:

"Little brother, we are talking business here; why must you be so improper!"

"I just can’t help myself when I see you~"

Lu Li spoke and reached out his hand again.

"Shameless!"

Xia Weiyun nudged her little husband lightly and didn’t resist any further.

She let him touch her while considering: "Next, we have opium dens in Zhenjiang and Nantong..."

"Leave it to me."

Lu Li was more than happy to exterminate such opium traders, and what’s more, he could use it as a chance to cultivate, killing two birds with one stone.

Thus, in the following days, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River witnessed a storm of blood and violence.

However, this area belonged to the Governor of Two Rivers.

Naturally, the Governor received news of these events.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Governor of Two Rivers established his office in Lu State.

Governor Shen Xing was a Great Grandmaster who had dominated the world for decades.

Only last year, he openly rebelled; now with no need for restraint, the Governor Mansion expanded further, incorporating the whole of Chaohu Lake as a scenic addition.

Shen Xing, admiring the lake view, glanced at the dossier from Kill Body Society.

Seeing that they restrained themselves from acting within the cities, he didn’t care much and set it aside casually.

The Governor, with a noble face and red lips, along with his garments styled in Confucian fashion, was truly a picture of elegance and grace.

Shen Siang stood beside him, and the father and son duo looked more like brothers.

Shen Xing turned his attention to his son, spoke softly:

"Being unaccustomed to setbacks since childhood, this incident might not be a bad thing. It’s a good opportunity to eliminate arrogance, focus on cultivation, and prepare for the Manifesting Saint breakthrough."

"I understand, Father."

Shen Siang seemed calm on the surface, but the mention of Lu Li ignited rage in his eyes:

"Moreover, a mere cripple whose limit is Innate; once I achieve the Manifesting Saint, I’ll surely return the humiliation a hundredfold!"

Shen Xing smiled satisfactorily and nodded, "That’s how you should think; you are the Azure Dragon, after all!"

Su Qing felt a strange sense behind her father-in-law’s smile.

Soon, Shen Xing turned to her, saying loudly:

"Su Qing, this ’Merit Golden Lotus’ has been unnecessarily wasted twice; Siang must break through again, so your dowry will have to be delayed. But I assure you, not a bit will be missing!"

Coming from a Great Grandmaster, a formal promise should have been reassuring.

But Su Qing’s face stiffened, and she inwardly cursed:

"Great paths are for advancing, not retreating. Delay, my ass!"

Facing Shen Xing’s gentle gaze, and considering the marriage arranged by her sect, the female master could only nod subserviently.

However, her mind was already racing—

"Merit! I must compensate for the lost merit! Where should I get it from..."

She immediately remembered the frequently mentioned puppet of Master Lu!
