Chapter 302: Vast Reserve of Qi

Splash!

With a casual swing of Lu Zhen's saber, another man fell swiftly at his hand, turning into a blood mist from the sheer force of his blow.

However, Lu Zhen didn't wear a satisfied expression on his face.

"The efficiency is greater if I don't use any weapon," he muttered, casually swiping his hand with the saber. Instantly, all soldiers within twenty metres of him were ground into pieces.

This saber was also made from the thousand-jin material and weighed about five tons. However, with his sheer raw strength and saber mastery skill, applying the principles of the saber to almost anything was as easy as pie.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen casually threw his saber to one of the second-stage martial artists.

Boom!

The void seemed to tremble with the might of the saber as it landed on the random second-stage martial artist, his terror-filled eyes unable to defend against the onslaught. Though he attempted to defend with a sword, it immediately broke from the sheer force of the saber, swiftly penetrating his heart.

However, even after being penetrated by the saber, the soldier didn't die immediately. He struggled to take out the weapon, but alas, he couldn't, slowly losing his vitality before finally falling with a sickening thud to the ground.

Lu Zhen looked at this with a frown on his face.

"I knew that second-stage martial artists are not so easy to kill, even when I destroy their internal organs," he muttered while surveying the battlefield.

Though his soldiers were motivated and full of fighting spirit thanks to his encouragement, they seemed too strange, devoid of human emotion. Despite their morale, his army was gradually losing ground.

Suddenly, a blizzard seemed to erupt on the battlefield, sweeping around a thousand soldiers in an instant.

"For my husband," Jiang Xue roared with a fierce expression on her face as she released her combat art. Though her cultivation realm barely reached the third-stage martial realm, she fought heroically with all her strength.

With Lu Zhen dual cultivating with her, her strength had grown exponentially through their combined efforts, and her innate talent seemed to have been further enhanced. The resources he provided her were plentiful, allowing her to advance her cultivation rapidly.

Similar displays of power were evident elsewhere in the army. Xia Mei, for instance, was engaged in combat with five second-stage martial artists simultaneously, yet she showed no signs of faltering. In fact, she appeared to be winning the battle.

Observing this, ideas formed in his mind. Lu Zhen casually swung his hand, crushing another enemy third-stage martial artist to bits and pieces.

"Let's get to work."

With a swift and decisive motion, Lu Zhen tapped into the reservoir of plant Qi coursing through his body, channelling it through his hand with the principle of the saber.

Swoosh!

Another whirlwind began to materialise, its centre adorned with a menacing wooden spike that seemed to draw in the very essence of the surrounding Qi to bolster its strength.

No soldier, regardless of their prowess, could withstand the onslaught of this whirlwind; they were torn apart like mere scraps of paper caught in a storm turned into mincemeat.

Lu Zhen's movements were relentless, his hand becoming a blur as he continued to unleash whirlwind after whirlwind.

The one thing he was confident about was his reserve of plant Qi, which was stored up in every fibre of his being. Unlike the Qi pathways that other martial artists needed to create, his mana reserve was many times higher in comparison to theirs since his body didn't reject Qi.

Qiang Li could only watch in awe and trepidation as Lu Zhen unleashed his devastating arsenal. The sight sent shivers down his spine, and a gnawing sense of dread settled in the pit of his stomach.

"Doesn't he ever tire?" Qiang Li wondered, his mind racing to comprehend the sheer magnitude of Lu Zhen's power. Though he couldn't decipher the intricacies of Lu Zhen's combat art, one thing was clear: sustaining such relentless onslaughts required an immense amount of Qi.

Even as a peak second-stage martial artist himself, Qian Li knew he could only unleash such a combat art ten times at most before depleting his Qi reserves entirely.

At that point, he would be left as nothing more than a mortal with a robust physique; no one dared to risk exhausting their entire Qi reserve.

"These madmen," Qian Li muttered with a smirk, observing Lu Zhen's relentless onslaught. "Sending himself to his own demise. He may be a genius, but he's ignorant of the ways of the world."

Counting the whirlwinds, Qian Li noted that Lu Zhen had already unleashed twenty of such devastating attacks. With a determined expression, he signalled to the others, signalling that it was time to reveal themselves.

"There's no need to hide any longer," Qian Li declared, his voice ringing with authority as he leaped into action, his terrifying aura enveloping him as he charged straight towards Lu Zhen.

"You finally showed yourself."
