Using Dou God's Breakthrough and Heavenly Tribulation as a Bait?

--- Chapter 255 ---

Baek Ain stared at Lan Rou's incarnation and began uttering his thoughts.

"So, here is the plan."

"I wanted Lan Rou to use full power the moment Heavenly Tribulation starts."

"But that will make everyone think Lan Rou is desperate?" Yuyan and the other ladies in the area tilted their heads in confusion.

Baek Ain chuckled wickedly, "Exactly. However, they didn't know I had left several life-saving and powerful Dou Qi Recovery pills to Lan Rou."

"The more Lan Rou fought, the more they realized she was on the verge of breaking down. But they would only see Lan Rou keep standing up again. And again..."

"Some cowardly figures knew they had no chance to ambush her."

"The braves one will become even braver."

"And when they lower their guard... Bam, we finished them all off!" He clenched his hand hard, making a bone-popping noise.

"..." The ladies pitied anyone who became an enemy with this man.

Devious.

Truly devious!

Even though using Lan Rou as bait is a bit questionable, this method will definitely work and catch many fish. In fact, it's very effective.

...

On the Demonic Region's border, Luo Bingbing faced a swarm of people from the Hall of Souls.

They are people revived by the Hall of Souls, clawing their way from the deep grave to ransack the Fallen Orchid Sect and make Lan Rou fail her breakthrough.

Since the space around the Fallen Orchid Sect is 'forcibly' sealed by Baek Ain, their only way from the Hall of Souls is through the border. Not even Dou God's artifact can break Baek Ain's Spatial Manipulation.

Luo Bingbing looked down on the tsunami-like zombie swarm and swung her sword gently.

The edge slashed the air, creating ripples.

"Luo Clan's Sword Flying Method - Thousand Layer Waves."

The ripple burst out, sweeping the area down the mountain with sharp yet heavy waves.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Like a heavy wave hitting the beach, an explosion hit the zombies one after another.

The zombies at the front were 'instantly' reduced to bits by Luo Bingbing's sword intent. Their souls also couldn't return to the Hall of Souls because of it.

"You shall not pass, peasants!" Luo Bingbing said coldly. With a new sword in her hand, her confidence soared.

Of course, the sword has nothing to do with her strength.

Sure, it's a great sword and enhanced some of her techniques. But what made Luo Bingbing confident is her recovered self-esteem from Baek Ain's trust.

She felt like she could take on an army of millions alone!

It's the power of the sword that matters.

It's the sign of the sword that matters for her.

Luo Bingbing was in a good mood, so she decided to do something extra and burst with an overwhelming aura.

"Luo Clan's Sword Flying Method - Thousand Layer Aerial Ace."

Blue light exploded from the tip of Luo Bingbing's sword and soared to the sky like a geyser. After reaching the highest peak in the atmosphere, the energy stopped and condensed into a massive, white water droplet.

Well, everything that goes up will go down.

The water droplet seemingly couldn't handle the pressure within and rained the earth below with extreme sharpness.

Each water droplet is as sharp as Luo Bingbing's sword, possessing water, space, and sword intent.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Everything within a 15-kilometer radius is 'instantly' reduced to atoms, leaving a massive crack on the border. Even the newly revived zombies die from the residual force the attack leaves behind.

"Someone is going to draw a new map of this area." Luo Bingbing said indifferently, returning to her former arrogance.

Yet remembering her husband's face made Luo Bingbing's face blush again. She was a helpless romantic.

...

...

At the skies of the Fallen Orchid Sect, Lan Rou still fought with the Heavenly Tribulation and made the audience gasp.

Lan Rou waved her dagger and sliced Thunder Dragon in half. She huffed and kicked the air, reaching even higher.

"Damn it, she's more crazy than I thought!"

"How can her small limb and dagger exert such a force? Even my Half-Saint Artifact, Mountain Cleaving Ax, couldn't do this."

"Orchid Immortal? More like Orchid Berserker!"

Lan Rou unknowingly gained another title for herself.

Well, she wouldn't care, even if she knew. To her, such titles are just empty words.

At the moment, Lan Rou is depleting her Dou Qi.

Once her reserve is empty, she would allow the Heavenly Tribulation to hit her once and pop the Energy Recovery pill into her mouth.

Doing this is usually pointless because those who attempted to enter the Dou Di/Dou God realm had prepared thoroughly, and their Dou Qi reached its peak condition.

However, Ain's Harem is built differently.

After obtaining the Behemoth's bloodline, Lan Rou's upper limit increased, which allowed her to break her limit. She could hold a hundred times more chakra than a peak Dou Saint Expert could have, and her soul power was solid. She could become an Alchemist if she wanted to.

So, doing this 'act' in front of others is also a form of training.

Lan Rou continuously widened her energy reserve, using it and filling it with Heavenly Tribulation's energy. At some point, her body gained Lightning Attribute and benefited from it.

'Again!' Lan Rou stubbornly thought, wiping blood from her mouth and soaring to the sky.

WOOSH!

Lan Rou's flight left a sonic boom, frightening some half-saints.

"So fast..."

"Are all Dou Saint this strong?"

"Pui! Of course, no! I'm at the 4th Stage of Dou Saint, and I can't even reach a tenth of her speed!"

"How old are you, senior?"

"I'm 300 this ye-!"

"DAYUM!"

"..."

"What did you say?"

"What? I don't know what you are talking about?"

While the audience was busy with Lan Rou, several white-robed figures encircled the area and laid down an ancient sealing array formation.

Bai Linlong touched the crest on her chest and said, "Point 7, covered."

"How is the other status?"

"All points covered." A voice appeared from the crest, replying to Bai Linlong's question.

"We can start launching Lord Ain's plan."

"Should we do it?"

"No, not yet. Lord Ain will give us a signal soon." Bai Linlong denied the usage of the ancient sealing array. They haven't baited enough fish.

"Understood..." The voice cut off the communication.

Bai Linlong glanced at the sky and sighed, "Mistress Lan Rou is so powerful. I don't have a chance to enter Lord Ain's Harem."

"Aih, they weren't this strong when they visited the base for the first time."

Of course, Bai Linlong doesn't know about the existence of a cheat called Alicia on Ain's side. Given Baek Ain's growth, his harem would grow much more powerful and leave this world sooner or later.

KACHA!

A glass-breaking noise echoed in the area.

The thunderclouds above coiled, revealing a golden-colored lightning.

Everyone has bad feelings about this new lightning.

ROAR!

A golden dragon made of lightning descended and opened its mouth at Lan Rou, ready to swallow her whole.

"Dragon is just a food for Behemoth!" Lan Rou indifferently said. Her Dou Qi boiled and covered his dagger.

"Die..."

BOOOOOM!!

Lan Rou and the golden dragon clashed directly, causing a loud explosion in the sky.

"It's TIME!" shouted someone in the crowd. Several red-robed figures appeared and surrounded Lan Rou.

"Crimson Soul Death Formation!" A barrier surrounded Lan Rou and a five hundred cubic area around her.

Bai Linlong felt a tap on her shoulders and also commanded, "Now, activate the array!"

"Behemoth Paradise's Lock!"

Another barrier appeared, surrounding the Crimson Soul Death Formation and the fifty-kilometer cubic area around it.

Everyone was caught off guard by this.

Hall of Souls people looked bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

"FUCK, THIS IS A TRAP!"

"DAMN IT! HOW CAN YOU USE DOU GOD BREAKTHROUGH AS BAIT FOR US? YOU DON'T PLAY BY THE RULES!"

"DAMN YOU, ORCHID IMMORTAL!"

Watching this, Baek Ain laughed heartily, "Hahaha, If you don't play by the rules, then why should I?"

In the mist, Lan Rou opened her eyes and revealed a deep murderous intent in her heart. "It is time..."

"I will finish what I can't do back then."
