Chapter 116: The Terrifying Strength of the Luo Family's Young Master

  The remaining eighteen people were all geniuses from the previous session.

  Among them, the three leaders are among the top five strongest in this generation of geniuses, along with Fengshen Jun and Chu Long Huang. They are Huo Fangyi, Luo Hongxue, and Shen Yingwu!

  These three people were all the geniuses of the previous generation, and they were also the top three in the Young Heroes List that year. If it weren't for Chu Yan appearing that year, perhaps they would already be famous throughout the land now.

  The emergence of Chu Yan is also a good thing, because the three of them were also stimulated by Chu Yan and reluctantly refused to advance to the Seventh Treasure Realm, vying with Chu Yan, which led to this grand gathering of this generation, where the world's top talents are gathered!

  The twelfth floor!

  These twenty-eight people all boarded the twelfth floor, but still chose to continue climbing, only twelve people were left.

  Chu Long Huang, Chu Zhen Mo, Feng Shen Hou, Wang Dong Lin, Hua Xian Du, Shen Jian Chu Yi, Qi Xuan Shen Ying Hua, Huo Huang Yi, Luo Hong Xue, Shen Ying Wu, Zi Wu Yu, Xuan Yi.

  Others, including Luo Hong Cheng and Luo Hong Lian, "Phoenix Clothes Immortal", all stayed on the twelfth floor. This represents that they all possess the strength of condensing three Blood Diamonds, which is no longer ordinary.

  Others might be let off, but Shen Yinghua and Chu Yi, two originally low-ranking geniuses who were even ranked outside of the top 15 on the Qingming List, have also chosen to continue climbing and challenge the 13th floor!

  Are they ignorant and fearless, or do they really have that strength?

  On the eleventh floor above, Dugu Han looked at the seven Xuan Shenyin Hua on his head, with no expression.

  Dugu and Qixuan have always been on an equal footing.

  However, Dugu appears once every hundred years, but Qixuan does not have this rule. Therefore, the number of Qixuans is far more than twice that of Dugu.

  For thousands of years, almost every generation of Dugu has been able to suppress the Seven Xuan of the same generation. However, in the previous generation, the Seven Xuan produced a Shen Junxia, a genius who was born with extraordinary abilities, and he actually suppressed the Seven Xuan of the generation before last, as well as the Dugu "Dugu Yan" of the previous generation, ranking second among the top ten strongmen in the Shanhai Realm.

  For the once proud Dugu family, this is a huge shame.

  The responsibility on Dugu Xian's shoulders is enormous, not only to surpass the seven geniuses of his generation, Shen Yinghua, but also to surpass the seven geniuses of the previous generation, Shen Junxia. This is his mission!

  At this moment, Qi Xuan's choice is what Shen Yinghua cares about most.

  While Chu City is more concerned about the divine archer Hou Yi.

  He once fought against the Golden Clone of Shen Jia's Chu Yi, and had a deep understanding of his strength.

  A mere clone of the Golden Arrow, and yet it possessed strength equivalent to nine drops of Blood Essence, rivaling that of Sun Yan at his peak. Just how formidable must its true form be?

  Shen Jian Chu Yi, 12th floor, I suppose he can't be stopped?

  Continue climbing.

  At this time, the footsteps of all twelve people slowed down.

  Chu Long Huang, Huo Huang Yi, Shen Ying Wu, and Luo Hong Xue, these four people walked at the forefront, neither hastily nor slowly, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard. It seemed that the pressure of the thirteenth level was nothing to them.

  And the other eight people all burst out with their true strength.

  Chu Zhenmo's body was filled with evil energy, he practiced the royal family's orthodox Netherworld Technique, said to have originated from the Netherworld, mysterious and unpredictable, cunning and wonderful.

  A red light ring appeared under Fēng Hóu's feet. This was the Fēng family's unique Fēng Family Divine Ring, with red representing the lowest level of Transcending Mortality.

  Wang Donglin used the sword, the Wang family's Xuantian Sword. The Wang family's Xuantian Sword Manual is one of the eight great sword manuals of Chu State, ranking third, only below the Seven Mysterious Swords and the Dugu Sword.

  Hua Xian Du had black hair and wore a long shirt. Despite his young age, he had an otherworldly air about him, looking like a Taoist immortal.

  Zi Wu's words are like a flute held in one's hand, with a smile on his face, wherever he goes, people love him and flowers bloom.

  Xuan Yi's face was icy cold, without another word.

  Qī Xuán Shěn Yīng Huá, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a full-bodied British air.

  The divine archer Hou Yi remained unmoved and expressionless.

  These twelve people still have a big gap between each other. As soon as they take one step forward, it becomes apparent.

  Chu Long Huang, Huo Huang Yi, Shen Ying Wu, and Luo Hong Xue walked at the forefront, their bodies exuding a calm aura, clearly not using their Blood Essence. Relying solely on their physical strength, they were able to withstand the external pressure, making them appear carefree and relaxed.

  They were the first four-man team.

  Close behind them were Chu Zhēnmó, Fēng Shén Hóu, Wáng Dōng Lín and Huá Xiān Dū, who formed the second echelon. Their speed was slightly slower than that of the first echelon, and they seemed to have already used up a large part of their strength.

  Finally, there were Zi Wu Yu, Xuan Yi, Qi Xuan Shen Ying Hua and Shén Jiǔ Chǔ Yì. The four of them started off somewhat relaxed, but by the time they reached the thirty-seventh step, their footsteps had become extremely slow, to the point where it could be said that every step was a struggle.

  Especially Zi Wu, he was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, and lost all his original elegance. He quickly fell behind the other three and became the only member of the fourth echelon.

  "Zi Wu language...... Compared to others, it's still far from enough!" Chu Cheng said lightly.

  "This is the difference between a big city and a vassal state, a royal capital. Others are all from vassal states or royal capitals, they are all young masters of large families, and they are also the best among the younger generation of their families. Zǐ Wù Yǔ, however, is only the strongest of this generation in Dà Chéng's Purple Bamboo City, there is still a difference." A young man about 10 years old smiled slightly towards Chǔ City:

  "Of course, the two cities of Shanyin and Shanyang, although they are small cities, have produced many powerful individuals in recent years, such as Chu Longyuan, Chu Tiange who rose to fame twenty years ago, Chu Yan who shocked the imperial capital five years ago, and now Chu Yi who is challenging the 13th level, and... you!"

  "Me?" Chu Cheng was slightly stunned, then smiled wryly and said: "I'm not qualified at all."

  "No need to be humble. Being able to kill Chu Mengyun, everyone on the 10th floor will treat you as an equal strongman." The young man said calmly.

  "Huh?" Chu Cheng looked around and indeed, those people's eyes on him were filled with solemnity and vigilance, as well as some strange respect, the kind of respect for the strong.

  "May I ask who you are?" Chu Cheng asked curiously.

  "My name is Luo Hongshui, and I am the elder brother of Luo Hongmu." The young man smiled and said: "Hongmu has mentioned you before, praising you highly. After your return to the family, he also praised you greatly, so all the younger generation of the Luo family have heard of your great name and are very curious about you."

  "Big brother? I don't know who you're referring to as big brother?" Chu Cheng suddenly thought of someone in his heart.

  "It's just 'Thousand Worries and Hatred Sword' Luo Hongchen." A hint of pride flashed in Luo Hongshui's eyes.

  "It's really him!" Chu Cheng was shocked in his heart, although it was unexpected, but also reasonable.

  The Luo family is also too big and prosperous, with many people. The age difference between Luo Hongchen and Luo Hongmu... shouldn't be too great, the former can already be considered as the father of the latter, isn't that enough?

  "By the way, how many people from the Luo family are participating in the Youth Hero Conference this time? What about their strength? Can you tell me?" Chu Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked.

  He really wanted to know just how powerful the illustrious First Family of the Imperial Capital was.

  "Are you going?" Luo Hongshui's face revealed a faint hint of pride: "There are probably thirty people participating in the Youth Hero Conference. As for strength... shouldn't you be familiar with it, Luo Hongmu?"

  "Naturally familiar." Chu Cheng looked at Luo Hongmu on the eighth floor, nodded, and didn't know what intention Luo Hongshui had in asking this.

  "Hongmu is too young and has the same natural talent as me, which isn't great, so his strength is a bit lacking. Among the thirty people in the Luo family, he's ranked at the bottom." Luo Hongshui laughed.

  "Ranked last...... This, this......" Chu Cheng was stunned in an instant.

  Luohongmu has already stepped into the eighth layer, yet still ranks at the bottom. How strong must those thirty young masters of the Lu family be?

  "I don't know how many of the Luo family's descendants have crystallized their blood essence?" Chu Cheng asked again.

  "Not too many, just a handful... " Luo Hong Shui counted and said: "Luo Hong Cheng, Luo Hong Yan, Luo Hong Xue, Luo Hong Xia, and then there's me, the most useless one. In total, we are five."

  Five people with blood diamonds condensed into an extraordinary genius!

  "Five! It seems that the Luo family is indeed worthy of being the number one family! With just thirty people from the Luo family, they can already form the strongest team in the Qingming ruins and sweep the entire field!"

  This is absolutely true.

  The Luo family has Luo Hongxue, one of the top five strongest this time. There are also four other extraordinary geniuses and twenty-five strong practitioners who have at least condensed eight drops of blood essence. How powerful would these thirty people be when gathered together?

  But Luo Hongshui shook his head, looking at Chucheng with a hint of a smile: "The Luo family is not the first family, and in the Qingming ruins, the Luo family cannot form the strongest team. Because there is another family that is even stronger! There is also a team that is even more terrifying!"

  "What team?" Chu Cheng blurted out.

  "Chu's family, Chu's gate." Luo Hongshui said.

  The Chu family? The Chu gate?

  "The royal family of Chu is truly the first family. This time, nearly 30,000 strong practitioners have entered the Qingming ruins, among them, those with the surname Chu number over 3,000. And among the more than 50 strong practitioners who have condensed their blood essence, there are also ten people with the surname Chu." Luo Hong said:

  "Among these ten people, there are seven who have gathered together to form the Chu Men. Within the Chu Men, there is even a powerful figure like Chu Long Huang. What do you think? Of course, since you killed Chu Mie Yun, the current Chu Men only has six Blood Jade strongmen left."

  Chu Cheng furrowed his brow, feeling that Luo Hongshui's words were laced with underlying meaning.

  He has been talking for so long, what's the point?

  "Brother Luo has something to say and will say it directly, no need to beat around the bush." Chu Cheng was straightforward.

  "Alright!" Luo Hongshui suddenly took out a token and waved it in front of Chu Cheng, saying solemnly:

  "Chu City, you killed Chu Mieyun, the Chu family will definitely hunt you down to the end! You may be very powerful and have a trump card, but how can you resist the Chu family with hundreds of people? Join us, in this Qingming ruins, form an alliance with our Luo family, even if the Chu family is strong, what's there to fear?"

  This is absolutely a good opportunity.

  Luohong didn't ask much of Chucheng, and forming an alliance with the Lu family would give Chucheng a powerful backing. However, what Chucheng could do for the Lu family was extremely limited because Chucheng's strength was simply too weak...

  "Why? Why are you helping me? You need to give me a reason, a convincing one." This was a good opportunity, but Chu Cheng didn't take the token, instead asking faintly.
