Chapter 206 It's Okay Not to Be Able to Protect

Lu Wuming's voice at this moment was like heavenly music to Master Lin Kong.

He immediately looked excitedly to the side and saw Lu Wuming rapidly approaching the two of them from the audience. The cultivation technique in his hand was continuous. Although water-attribute spells would not restrain the ghost race, the sharp swords condensed from water mist were enough to tear the surrounding ghost race to shreds.

Seeing this, Master Lin Kong immediately asked joyfully, "Fellow Daoist, do you know fire-attribute spells? These monsters are afraid of fire. If we use fire-attribute spells, the three of us cooperating well will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Master Lin Kong actually had no ill intentions.

After all, at such a time, cooperation was paramount.

However, he never expected that his words would instantly offend both Lu Wuming and Liu Buli. Even if the "monsters" he referred to were purely the ghost race, this pronoun was a taboo in the eyes of Liu Buli and the two of them. The moment they heard this, their expressions simultaneously turned grim.

Master Lin Kong was still oblivious, his entire attention focused on the ghost race in front of him. As for the fact that the two of them did not answer him immediately, he did not pay much attention.

After all, with a formidable enemy at hand, it was not easy to chat.

Based on Liu Buli's understanding of Lu Wuming, Master Lin Kong had accidentally stepped on a minefield, and Lu Wuming would probably abandon the old man without hesitation and not want to have any further contact with him.

However, to his surprise, Lu Wuming was silent for a moment before calmly responding. He said, "My master said that fire-attribute cultivation techniques are easy to injure oneself, so she never taught me. But Master, you don't need to worry too much. Even with water-attribute cultivation techniques, as long as they are used properly, killing these ghost race is an easy task."

Hearing this, Master Lin Kong was a little confused for a moment.

It was common knowledge that the ghost race was difficult to deal with. But hearing him speak so confidently, could it be that their Dan Sect had some special way of dealing with them?

However, this thought was completely dispelled by Lu Wuming's actions within moments.

The long sword condensed from water mist pierced through the surrounding ghost race, and with flesh and blood flying, what were originally humanoid monsters had already turned into a pool of blurry blood.

After achieving this, Lu Wuming slightly reined in his cultivation technique. He said to Master Lin Kong, "There are two methods to kill the ghost race. The first is to burn them with intense fire, and the second is to tear them to pieces. When the degree of fragmentation is such that they cannot recover on their own, they are completely killed."

This principle was actually understood by many, but few people tried it.

The reason was very simple.

After all, it was too bloody and cruel. Most people could not withstand such stimulation themselves, so how could they use such a method to kill people?

Master Lin Kong sensed Lu Wuming's terror, but at this moment, he still had to rely on this person. So, he suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart, took two deep breaths, and Master Lin Kong said, "Since there is a way to solve this, let's cooperate well. If the three of us join forces, there should be no problem."

This time, Lu Wuming did not respond.

Because, to be honest, if it weren't for Liu Buli's instructions, he would have been unwilling to cooperate with anyone.

Especially at this moment, when his master was still in danger, how could he abandon his master and go to protect others first?

It was only a moment of pause, and Liu Buli guessed what he was thinking. He quickly responded to Master Lin Kong on behalf of Lu Wuming, saying, "No problem, Master. The three of us will cooperate. We'll deal with the obstacles in front of us first, and then talk about other things."

Receiving his response, Master Lin Kong also breathed a sigh of relief. He withdrew his attention and began to focus on dealing with the monsters in front of him.

Because of this, he did not notice that Lu Wuming had no intention of helping him further. Instead, he directly carved out a path and walked to Liu Buli's side, standing back to back with him, killing the ever-increasing number of ghost race around them together.

"You really weren't wrong to call today a banquet. The sheer number of them is enough for a banquet." Since Lu Wuming had helped bear half the pressure, Liu Buli had some breathing room. He curled his lips, and even in such a dangerous situation, he did not forget to joke with Lu Wuming.

Hearing his words, Lu Wuming was somewhat helpless.

In the ghost race's banquet, humans were the main course.

It was truly remarkable that Liu Buli could say it so calmly as a joke.

Sensing the surrounding aura, Lu Wuming thought for a moment and asked Liu Buli behind him with some worry, "Master, we've been fighting for so long, and the number of ghost race has barely decreased. While we're being worn down, new forces are joining. If we keep this up, are you sure we'll be alright?"

Lu Wuming thought that when he asked this, Liu Buli would give him a reassuring answer as usual.

He was mentally prepared to hear such an answer.

But unexpectedly, Liu Buli burst into laughter and said, "Perhaps there really will be some problems, but don't worry. Even if we have to die, we will definitely be the last to go. When all the people around are dead, we won't have to hold back anymore, and you can fight however you want. If we still can't win then, I'll accept my fate."

He said this in a very low voice, and coupled with the loud sounds of fighting around, only Lu Wuming, whose entire focus was on him, heard these words.

The moment he heard it, Lu Wuming pondered.

He couldn't help but start considering if he could protect his master's safety by killing all the cultivators around him right now.

The moment this thought arose, before it could even take shape, he heard Liu Buli's voice again, tinged with anxiety. He said, "I was just joking with you, don't do anything you shouldn't! Our goal this time is to protect ourselves and those around us to the greatest extent possible. Mistakes are acceptable, and it's okay if we can't protect them. But don't actively help kill people, understand!"

With these words, the little thought that had just ignited in Lu Wuming's mind was instantly crushed.

He pouted and sighed in his heart.

Master is still Master, always understanding him so well...
