Chapter 157: The Treasure Changes Hands After Death

  Lu Da and Lu Er were taken aback by Zhao Zhuo's words, their eyes scanning Zhao Feng and Zhao Zhuo as they exclaimed: "This can't be! You... what's going on between you two brothers?"

  The two of them couldn't believe that Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Feng would actually be brothers. After all, Zhao Feng's cultivation was only at the Dharmakaya stage, while Zhao Zhuo had already shown strength at least at the Return to One stage. But how could a cultivator at the Return to One stage possibly have a brother who was only at the Dharmakaya stage? This was simply an impossible occurrence.

  But today this impossible thing happened right here, and their third brother even gave his own life for it.

  Lu Erxing's son, Lu Zhizhi, heard Zhao Zhuo's words and let out a loud roar: "Big brother, why bother with so much nonsense? Since she killed Third Brother, we'll kill her brother to avenge Third Brother. I'm sure Third Brother will be satisfied if he's watching from heaven."

  After hearing Lu Er's words, Zhao Zhuo sneered and said to Zhao Feng beside him: "Big brother, you just watch from the side, and let me help you vent your anger."

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's confident appearance, Zhao Feng's heart, which had been lifted up, slowly put down, but he still worried: "Second brother, they are very strong, you have to be careful"

  "Ha ha, don't worry, big brother," Zhao Duo said with a smile. "Just watch and see how I'll help you get revenge."

  As he spoke, Zhao Zhuo strode towards Lu Da and Lu Er, releasing his aura, which was like a massive mountain crashing down on the two of them.

  Originally, the two couldn't see through Zhao Zhuo's cultivation, but in their hearts, they thought that even if Zhao Zhuo's cultivation was higher, it wouldn't necessarily be much stronger than theirs. However, when they truly felt the powerful aura emanating from Zhao Zhuo, they finally realized his strength, and their faces revealed shocked and disbelieving expressions.

  Lu Dairen took a step back, his face filled with shock and exclaimed: "Impossible, how is this possible? Your cultivation is so strong!"

  Zhao Duo didn't say a word, but step by step he approached the two men, his aura gathering and accumulating, until Lu Da and Lu Er were oppressed by the concentrated aura, feeling like they couldn't breathe.

  Lu Da and Lu Er have lived together for hundreds of years, even if they are not telepathic, but they can still understand each other's changes in mind from a slight change in expression.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a desperate look.

  Two dazzling lights flashed by, and suddenly a pair of broad axes appeared. The rough and wild broad axes were shining with treasure light, and they turned out to be a pair of spiritual treasure-level magic weapons.

  "Opening the mountain, splitting the earth" - four ancient and mysterious big characters floated above a pair of wooden axes. Zhao Shuo saw them and his eyes lit up, clearly not expecting that Lu brothers would have such a treasure in their hands.

  "Good baby!"

  "Take your life!"

  Lu Da and Lu Er, with their broad axes in hand, seemed full of confidence, and with a fierce momentum, they hacked towards Zhao Zhuo, one aiming for his head, the other at his waist, apparently intending to cut him in two.

  His face lit up with excitement, and suddenly Zhao Zhuo's figure disappeared into the distance. When he reappeared, he was standing between the two Lu brothers, his hands placed on top of their heads. The wooden axes in the hands of Lu Da and Lu Er had fallen to the ground without them realizing it.

  The face was filled with an expression of disbelief, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, as threads of fresh blood trickled down from his skull.

  The two Lu brothers probably never thought that Zhao Zhuang would suddenly appear beside them, crossing through space with his own body, and swiftly kill them with a force so strong that it shattered their heavenly spirit cover, leaving not even a wisp of divine thought to escape, and the two brothers lost their lives at Zhao Zhuang's hands.

  Next to him, Zhao Feng only felt his eyes daze for a moment, and the Lu brothers who were holding the big axe actually lost their lives in Zhao Zhuo's hands. Rubbing his eyes, Zhao Feng felt like he was dreaming, the Lu brothers who had just pushed him to the brink of death had simply fallen into a pose and lost their lives.

  He picked up the pair of hatchets and examined them carefully, only to discover that they were actually a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Unfortunately, they had been separated by the Lu brothers, who used them individually, failing to unleash their true power as a pair. Otherwise, Zhao Zhuo wouldn't have been able to get close to the two so easily.

  Seeing Zhao Feng still dazed, Zhao Zhuo chuckled and walked to his front, saying: "Big brother, what are you staring at? They're already dead."

  Zhao Feng took a deep breath, looked at the three corpses on the ground, and his face was filled with joyful expression as he trembled and asked: "Second brother, are they really dead?"

  Zhao Duo could understand Zhao Feng's feelings and smiled: "If big brother doesn't believe it, he can go up front to take a look, they're already dead and can't die again."

  Zhao Feng smiled and looked Zhao Shuo up and down before sighing emotionally, "Hmmm, nothing's changed, still the same as before, just that your cultivation has increased too much, you're even stronger than big brother now!"

  Zhao Duo pulled Zhao Feng into the house, and the scene before their eyes was exactly the same as it had been years ago. It could be said that the furnishings in the room had hardly changed at all, but people were no longer the same. Looking at those familiar objects, Zhao Duo felt a surge of emotions for a moment.

  Zhao Feng saw Zhao Shuo staring blankly at the room and didn't go to disturb him. Until Zhao Shuo came back to his senses, Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said: "Sit down, it's still the same here as it was back then, nothing has changed. Quickly tell your big brother what happened, how did you suddenly disappear for so long? You don't know how worried Mother and the others were about you after you disappeared."

  Zhao Duo could hear the thick concern in Zhao Feng's words, and his heart was moved to say: "It's all my fault, making big brother worry"

  Zhao Feng waved his hand and the joyful expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of guilt: "Second brother, big brother has no face to see you"

  Seeing the change in Zhao Feng's expression, Zhao Zhuo said in confusion: "Big brother, what are you talking about?"

  Zhao Feng's face was filled with guilt as he said, "Second brother, mother and little sister have been taken away by someone. Big brother is useless, I couldn't even find out who took them away. Big brother is really too useless."

  After listening to Zhao Zhuo, looking at Zhao Feng's self-blaming expression, Zhao Zhuo felt a little relieved in his heart. He thought it was something else. Now that he heard Zhao Feng speak out, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother, actually you don't need to blame yourself, mother and little sister were captured by the people of Chongxiang Sect, even if you knew, you might not have any way to deal with Chongxiang Sect, and instead would have put yourself in a difficult situation."

  Zhao Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his face showed excitement, staring at Zhao Zhuo and trembling with voice: "Second brother, you...you said you know the whereabouts of mother and little sister?"

  Zhao Duo nodded and smiled: "Yes, big brother probably didn't expect it either"

  Zhao Feng stood up and paced back and forth on the spot, saying: "No way, I'm going to go rescue my wife and little sister now."

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but smile wryly and said: "Big brother, don't worry, mother and little sister are fine, they're very safe now."

  Zhao Feng was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Can't you say that Second Brother and the people of Chong Shuang are friends?"

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but burst out laughing: "How could I possibly be friends with someone from the Chong Xiao Sect? Not only that, people from the Chong Xiao Sect would probably love to tear me limb from limb and flay me alive!"

  His face changed, Zhao Feng had previously heard Zhao Zhuo say not to worry about Su Xiu and Zhao Luan's safety, thinking that Zhao Zhuo and Chongxiao Zong had a good relationship. But he didn't expect that Zhao Zhuo and Chongxiao Zong were not as he thought, but instead of being friends, they were sworn enemies.

  "Heavens! What's going to happen? Won't Mother and Little Sister be in great danger?"

  Looking at Zhao Feng's anxious appearance, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "To be honest with you, brother, I have already rescued Mother and Little Sister, so they are very safe. Moreover, even the Chong Xiao Sect has been destroyed by me."

  He took a deep breath, even if Zhao Feng hadn't seen the world, he had heard of the reputation of Chongxiao Sect. You are a renowned sect, with hundreds of strong practitioners in the Return to Unity stage. But in his second brother's words, such a powerful sect seemed to be nothing, and was even destroyed by his own second brother, which made Zhao Feng hard to believe.

  Looking at Zhao Feng's reaction, Zhao Shuo knew that it would be somewhat difficult to let Zhao Feng accept such a fact, because even if he thought about it again, he felt like he was dreaming.

  If it weren't for a few chances that seemed like divine intervention, Zhao Zhuang would probably still be fleeing desperately to avoid being hunted down by Chong Xiang Zong, how could he possibly be so carefree now?

  However, Zhao Zhuo still told Zhao Feng about what happened after he inadvertently fell onto the island of death that year.

  After listening to Zhao Suo's narrative, Zhao Feng only felt that his heart was going up and down, fortunately, Zhao Feng's nerves were good enough, and he managed to hold on until Zhao Suo finished telling his experiences of over a decade.

  As he let out a sigh of relief, Zhao Feng's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Zhao Zhuo and trembled with voice: "Second brother is truly blessed with great fortune, to have so much good luck"

  Zhao Duo's face was filled with relief as he said, "Thank goodness, I didn't expect to run into Big Brother here. If something were to happen to Big Brother, I wouldn't know how to face Mother in the future."

  Zhao Feng smiled and said: "I should thank you for saving my life, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of those three people by now."

  Zhao Duo sized up Zhao Feng for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Big brother's strength is not bad either. It just so happens that those three people have done something good, sending big brother a pair of handy treasures."

  Zhao Zhuo handed the pair of axes to Zhao Feng, saying: "This pair of mountain-opening axe and earth-splitting axe is not bad, big brother can use it for self-defense for now."

  The fifth update is sent, brothers have flowers to throw, and they are about to enter the top ten soon.
