The internal members no doubt possessed rich experience in fighting.
But in life and death situations?
Their hands were already trembling while executing their techniques.
Lu Zheng was aware of it. After all, the massacre of his clans was deliberately planned as the Scorching Blade Clan clearly received aid from a powerful clan.
He would not even be surprised it was from the White Tiger Clan, who ruled the White Tiger Territory.
After all, why would the Clan leader of Azure Tide Clan seem to be helpless and try to save his members by spreading them outside as much as possible?
Obviously, the internal members had their first time encountering a powerful opponent.
Lu Zheng executed the whirlpool stance, lowering his body a bit.
He then performed the Vortex Spin technique, a rapid spin that generated a whirlwind of slashes around him.
With his agility points, he was successful, even slicing through the blade of the internal members.
Those who had their blades sliced by Lu Zheng’s sword like a tofu had their mind turned blank.
Having their leader be killed in an instant was already shocking to begin with, and now their swords were severed easily?
“WHO ARE YOU?!” One of them could not help but ask in distress.
All the internal members took a step back. They acknowledged the fact they would not be able to defeat their enemy.
“Your comprehension level is too high. You can already execute the Vortex Spin that way?!” Even one of the external members was full of questions.
They were horrified too, seeing their seniors being defeated in a single technique despite coordinating together.
Furthermore, the internal members in the Azure Tide Clan would still have difficulty executing the techniques in fourth stance until the sixth stance efficiently.
At most, the Vortex Spin would only be executed by spinning around a single time.
However, not only Lu Zheng spun around once, but five times in a single second.
As a result, various slashes were produced, inevitably slicing through the blades of the internal members.
Lu Zheng, after being asked multiple times, could not help but place his left hand on his face, tilting his face upward, and exploded into a hoot of laughter.
The internal members and external members of the Scorching Blade Clan were infuriated, feeling humiliated.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
However, what could they do? Lu Zheng was infinitely stronger than them combined.
At this point, the tortured members of the Azure Tide Clan felt familiar with the voice.
They slowly woke up but unfortunately they lacked eyes. They would not be able to produce a noise either.
Even then, even if they hoped they would be saved, they would ask to be killed.
To end their suffering.
As though perceiving what they had in mind, Lu Zheng’s laughter abruptly halted.
He glanced at them and closed his eyes, attempting to visualize himself standing in the calm surface of the ocean.
Stillness. Peacefulness. Quietness.
His state of mind should not be about violence, like a disturbed wave…
However, it has to be.
After all, now he was completely enraged.
When he opened them again, what he last saw was a storm coming over the ocean.
It was the reflection of the state of his heart.
He thought. There will be a warm light of the sun and the ocean will return to its stillness after the storm.
He swept his gaze and his eyes narrowed.
He took a step forward and executed the Tsunami Stance, facing the internal members, who had decided to gather together and faced him at the same time.
He leapt towards them and executed the first technique, Tsunami Crush.
They were startled. It was actually the first technique of the last stance of the Azure Tide Sword Art.
Seeing Lu Zheng sweeping his sword downward towards them, they coordinated together to try and stop his sword.
Even if they tried to dodge it, Lu Zheng would take the chance, now that they scattered after his devastating attack, to target them individually.
Hence, they have decided to remain together and endure the brunt attack of Lu Zheng.
If they were able to, then they could give a chance for the external members to attack Lu Zheng behind his back.
In fact, they were already at it, as they began to sprint towards Lu Zheng, while the latter’s attack was about to collide with four swords, blocking his path.
Despite the sheer numbers of his enemies, Lu Zheng merely grinned.
They really believe they are able to block it?
The Tsunami Crush technique was not as simple as it seems—swinging his sword downward. With the help of the Tsunami Stance, it enabled him to squeeze out all his strength, causing him to unleash massive and powerful attacks—which was the result of the production of its technique.
If a Grandmaster utilized it, the Tsunami Stance would help the qi guide how it must flow inside the body until the outside, causing a real tsunami to appear out of the qi, crushing those who tried to obstruct it.
When it came to comprehension levels of the martial arts, Lu Zheng was way ahead of them with the help of the system.
As a result, when his sword collided with the four swords of the internal members, with three of them only using the remaining parts of the body of their sword after it was sliced in half by Lu Zheng earlier, the four swords broke into pieces.
The cracks even slithered until the handle of the internal members, bringing shock and numbness to their hands.
They screamed in pain.
However, Lu Zheng instantly ended their noise by executing the second technique—a powerful, wide reaching slash.
It was supposed to create shockwaves but Lu Zheng was not able to fully bring out its potential.
In fact, he did not need to, either.
All he had to do was extend the reach of his sword, slashing the necks of the four internal members at once.
Blood spurted out, drenching him.
However, he did not care. After being drowned by their blood, he casually turned around and executed the third technique of the Tsunami Stance.
This time, with the distance of his enemies and the amount of time they needed to reach him, he was able to execute the third technique to the fullest.
