Chapter 81: Crimson-Red Deity
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the imperial palace of Grand Xia, a voice echoed, “Junior Brother Lu, this guy is a little hard to handle.”
In the empty courtyard, a ten-meter-tall crimson-red deity was constantly attacking Lu Yuan and the other two.
Since Mu Qiqi was the strongest among the three, she naturally became the target of the crimson-red deity’s attacks. Most of the attacks fell on her.
Mu Qiqi was indeed worthy of being ranked in the top ten of the Mortal Rank. Her current cultivation had reached level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it was in both the water and wood spiritual roots.
Mu Qiqi also had a luxurious magic item that made people speechless.
Saying that she was invincible among those at the Core Formation stage and lower was not just an exaggeration.
If not for the fact that the crimson-red deity in front of Mu Qiqi had already reached the cultivation level of a Pseudo Core stage, Mu Qiqi alone was enough to deal with it.
…..
Boom!
The crimson-red deity slapped down, and Mu Qiqi quickly turned around, dodging the terrifying attack.
After a loud bang, a huge handprint appeared in front of Lu Yuan and the others. It could be seen that the power of the slap was terrifying.
Mu Qiqi didn’t just dodge, but she also counterattacked with the Qingyun Giant Sword Technique.
Under Mu Qiqi’s control, four flying swords turned into four giant swords and flew toward the crimson-red deity.
When the crimson-red deity saw that, it raised its arms to protect its head.
Ding, ding, ding…
A large number of sparks and ear-piercing sounds of metal striking appeared in an instant.
Mu Qiqi looked at the crimson-red deity with a serious expression.
Her powerful Qingyun Giant Sword Technique was actually unable to cause any effective damage to the crimson-red deity.
Only a few shallow wounds were left on its arm.
Moreover, those wounds healed in a very short period of time, which surprised Mu Qiqi.
“Senior Sister Mu, be careful!”
Just as Mu Qiqi was stunned, the crimson-red deity in front of her suddenly withdrew its arm.
Immediately after, a shocking blood-red shockwave shot out from its mouth, aimed at Mu Qiqi.
At this moment, Mu Qiqi was unable to dodge in a short period of time due to her lack of strength.
However, just as the blood energy was about to hit Mu Qiqi, a sand and stone wall appeared before her.
Not only that, but the golden sand wall was also covered with a special green spiritual energy.
In the next second, the energy attack of the crimson-red deity hit the sand wall.
Boom!
The Core Formation Realm crimson-red deity’s attack collided with the sudden appearance of the sand wall, causing a shocking explosion.
A moment later, the blood energy that had been weakened by 90% rushed toward Mu Qiqi who was behind the wall.
However, Mu Qiqi was already prepared. She had already taken out a defensive magic item.
Boom!
The remaining blood energy hit Mu Qiqi’s magical bell and dissipated completely. It didn’t cause any harm to Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi also took the opportunity to return to Lu Yuan and Bai Dafei’s side.
The crimson-red deity on the other side seemed to have exhausted too much spiritual energy, causing it to not choose to pursue them for a short period of time.
The originally intense battlefield had a rare moment for breathers.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu.”
“It’s fine. Senior Sister, have you thought of a way to deal with the deity?”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s question, Mu Qiqi nodded. “Junior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Bai, after the short exchange just now, I’ve roughly figured out its characteristics. I’ve long heard about the crimson-red deity of the Huanxi Sect. This is a special divine ability that requires the cooperation of many Huanxi Sect cultivators. Exerting astonishing power, it can only be performed by sacrificing their life and blood. This is because the essence of the crimson-red deity is the blood qi of a group of Blood Warrior Monks. It’s equivalent to us fighting 30 Blood Warrior Monks.”
She continued, “Although the crimson-red deity’s movements are slow, its defensive power and strength are incredibly astonishing. Ordinary magic instruments and divine powers are unable to cause any effective damage to it. Junior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Bai, if you can buy me some time, I’m confident that I can finish the deity in one blow.”
“Buy some time…” Lu Yuan looked at the ten-meter-tall crimson-red deity in the distance. After pondering for a moment, he said, “In that case, leave the rest to me and Senior Brother Bai.”
Bai Dafei’s eyes widened. “Wait a minute, wait a minute. I didn’t even say anything. Junior Brother Lu, why did you decide for me? Do I, Bai Dafei, have no right to speak?”
However, the atmosphere had already reached this point, and Bai Dafei had no reason to reject him.
“Junior Brother Lu is right,” Bai Dafei said with a bitter face. “Senior Sister, don’t worry. We will buy you enough time.”
“All right. Then I’ll have to trouble the two of you.” Although Mu Xunqi had a pampered personality, she was still very decisive in battle.
Once a decision was made, there would be no hesitation.
Mu Qiqi pointed her sword and a small golden flying sword flew out from her storage pouch.
In the process of Mu Qiqi controlling the flying sword, Mu Qiqi’s forehead began to sweat profusely.
It was obvious that controlling the flying sword was not easy for her.
After Lu Yuan saw the golden flying sword, he understood why Mu Qiqi had the confidence to kill the Pseudo Core Stage crimson-red deity in one strike.
The golden flying sword was a low-grade magic item.
It was something only Core Formation Stage cultivators could have!
Needless to say, it must have been given to her by Mu Qiqi’s sect leader.
Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
Quality: low-grade magic item
Function: a special flying sword made from the fangs of the demon king, Golden Coiled Snake. Its attack has extremely strong penetrating power.
Just as Mu Qiqi started to control the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword, Lu Yuan and Bai Dafei had already arrived in front of the crimson-red deity. “Junior Brother Lu, what should we do next?” Looking at the huge crimson-red deity, Bai Dafei’s expression was very nervous. As a mere pill refiner, what could he do to stall a Pseudo Core Stage crimson-red deity when even Mu Qiqi, who was level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage, almost lost?
However, what surprised Bai Dafei was that Lu Yuan’s expression was very calm at this moment. “Senior Brother Bai, you will harass it from afar. I will restrain this fellow. We must not let it affect Senior Sister Mu.”
Bai Dafei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Yuan volunteer to take on the responsibility of delaying the crimson-red deity.
At this moment, Lu Yuan’s figure in his eyes instantly became tall and big.
At the end of the day, Lu Yuan was an admirable junior who did not shy away from challenges.
Bai Dafei thought, “Junior Brother Lu, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before! How are you a cultivator who is afraid of death? You are simply a role model for our generation of cultivators! From now on, if anyone dares to talk bad about you again, I will be the first to question them!”
Just as Bai Dafei was deeply moved, Lu Yuan’s heart was actually not as filled with valiance as Lu Yuan thought. Instead, he was very calm.
Was the crimson-red deity strong? Yes!
However, could it pose a threat to Lu Yuan? It couldn’t!
After a simple observation, Lu Yuan discovered a fatal weakness of the crimson-red deity.
That was the speed of the fellow. It was too slow!
In Lu Yuan’s eyes, every attack of the crimson-red deity was like a movie in slow motion.
Lu Yuan had the special divine ability “Formless Squall”, the second advancement skill “Wind-riding Sword Control Technique”, the wind-type cultivation technique “Breeze Mystical Scripture”, and the wind-type Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual root.
In terms of speed, Lu Yuan was almost completely superior to the crimson-red deity.
Even in terms of defense, Lu Yuan felt that he was not weak.
The divine power he had used to protect Mu Qiqi was a special divine ability called “Gilded Tortoiseshell Wall”, a combination of the Gilded Sand and Tortoiseshell spiritual energy.
However, the Gilded Tortoiseshell Wall that he had displayed at that time only had about five layers of defense.
After all, compared to protecting others, Lu Yuan was more concerned about his own safety. That could be seen from the Gilded Sand and the black tortoise spiritual energy that had been surrounding Lu Yuan.
Delaying the crimson-red deity was really not a difficult thing for Lu Yuan, but Bai Dafei still didn’t understand how stable Lu Yuan was.
If Lu Yuan wasn’t completely confident, why would he take the initiative to come out?
“Senior Brother Bai, please look after Senior Sister Mu,” said Lu Yuan.
“All right,” replied Bai Dafei.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed toward the crimson-red deity.
Looking at Lu Yuan who was charging at itself, the crimson-red deity slowly raised its hand after adjusting its aura….
