Chapter 843 - The Battle of a Ten-leaf Karmic User
Chapter 843: The Battle of a Ten-leaf Karmic User
Yu Chenshu did not beat around the bush and directly extended his hand to ask to demand the life heart. His voice, attitude, and gaze were brimming with killing intent, leaving people with no room for arguments.
The Nine-leaf cultivator coughed violently a few times before he suddenly tore off his robes. He lowered his head to look at his body and cried out, “Karmic fire!”
With this, the other Nine-leaf cultivators tore off their robes as well and saw a square mark on their chests. This meant that the karmic fire had already invaded their extraordinary eight meridians.
Yu Chenshu said tonelessly, “I’ll say it one last time; hand the life heart over.”
These Nine-leaf cultivators were gradually losing their strength. The karmic fire was slowly eroding their meridians, causing them excruciating pain that they wished they were dead. At best, they would be bedridden for a year. At worst, they would lose their lives.
This was the power of the karmic fire.
At this moment, the Nine-leaf cultivator in possession of the life heart glared at Yu Chenshu and said, “Extinguish the karmic fire, and I’ll give you life heart.”
Yu Chenshu glanced at the man before he flipped his palm and pushed it out.
A red palm seal flew out slowly.
Upon seeing this, the Nine-leaf cultivator was overjoyed.
Meanwhile, the others cried out one after another, “No! We can’t give it to him. If you give it to him, we’ll all die!”
Swoosh!
At this moment, the red palm seal had already arrived before the Nine-leaf cultivator. All of a sudden, it suddenly increased in size and shrouded the Nine-leaf cultivator completely.
The red palm seal destroyed his face, and his chest was caved in. Based on this, it was likely all his internal organs were shattered. Following that, he fell limply to the ground.
Everyone could only watch in shock. They were helpless as they watched their comrade died.
How did Yu Chenshu do that?
Initially, the red palm seal clearly felt benign. Even its speed was slow and gentle. How did it suddenly gain so much power to instantly kill a Nine-leaf cultivator?
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock. They could only watch helplessly as their companion fell down.
Fear many times more intense than before swept through everyone.
The difference between their strength and Yu Chenshu was too big. Was this the power of a Ten-leaf karmic fire user?
Meanwhile, Yu Chenshu flipped his hand again.
The life heart was brought by the red energy toward Yu Chenshu.
“…”
Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the resonance of avatars being manifested rang in the air.
Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu’s energies surged out of their bodies at this moment.
“You still have to deal with us if you want the life heart!”
Yu Chenshu snorted contemptuously and said, “If you have a death wish, I’ll grant your wish!”
Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu formed a flurry of tornadoes in front of them, deflecting Yu Chenshu’s energy.
Three 200-foot avatars began to fight fiercely in the center of the valley.
Everyone quickly retreated.
The energies stirred up a fierce wind, wreaking havoc above the valley. The energies collided in a burst of red light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thumping noises coming from the depths of the forest were also drowned out by the sounds of explosions from the fight between the three Ten-leaf elites.
Meanwhile, the Nine-leaf cultivators continued to retreat in a haste.
At this moment, all the trees within a 1,000-meter radius of the valley had been flattened by the energies from the battle.
…
Lu Zhou frowned. He was slightly surprised; he did not expect Yu Chenshu to be so strong. Nonetheless, he did not think he had to use his trump card to deal with Yu Chenshu.
He reminded himself to praise Si Wuya when he returned to the golden lotus domain. If it were not for Si Wuya’s plan, he would have to spend a lot just to take Yu Chenshu down.
Someone like Yu Chenshu certainly had many life-saving techniques. After all, he was the master of the Sky Martial Court. It would be best if he could finish off Yu Chenshu with just a blow, but he was not certain it was possible. Moreover, he had to consider elites he might meet in the future. Therefore, he could not casually use his trump card.
The fiery-red sky obscured his view at this moment. When he stared at the red sky for a long time, he felt his vision going blurry.
Lu Zhou was just blinking his eyes when he suddenly saw Sun Jie wielding a dagger and lunging at him at lightning speed, clearly intending to stab him.
Bang!
The tip of the dagger stopped just half an inch away from Lu Zhou’s side, unable to move forward.
“Huh?” Sun Jie trembled. He had used all his strength in this sneak attack, and yet, he failed to breach Lu Zhou’s defenses.
Lu Zhou clasped his hands and rested them on his back. He looked at Sun Jie expressionlessly and said, “Your courage is commendable.”
Clang!
The dagger dropped to the ground.
Sun Jie trembled as he stumbled backward. “Y-you… You… You’re a Ten-leaf elite?”
“What’s the point of asking when you already know the answer?” Lu Zhou slowly walked forward.
Thinking it was the only way he could survive, Sun Jie said, “It doesn’t matter! Y-you’re not a match for Court Master Yu. Give up!”
A rare faint smile appeared on Lu Zhou’s face as he said curtly, “Naive.”
Then, he raised his hand and struck.
A golden palm seal shot out immediately.
Sun Jie was shocked. ‘A foreign invader?’
Sun Jie did hesitate and tried to fly immediately. However, the palm seal struck him at an even faster speed. Blood spurted out just as he was about to leap up into the sky.
Even if Yu Chenshu was not dealing with the other two Ten-leaf elites, would he really care about a cultivator from the Crimson Sun Sect?
The other two from the Crimson Sun Sect turned pale with fright and hurriedly rose to their feet. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well fight to the end. Both of them began to attack in a frenzy.
Lu Zhou took a step forward as the Six Compatible Seal shot out. The ten golden scripts of heaven, earth, life, death, water, fire, being, non-being, existence, separation, and unification formed a circle and spun rapidly toward the duo.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ten golden scripts easily breached their protective energies and landed on their bodies. The duo was already heavily injured to begin with, how could they have survived this attack from a Ten-leaf elite?
“Killed one target. Obtained 1,500 merit points. Domain bonus 1,000 merit points.”
“Killed one target. Obtained 1,500 merit points. Domain bonus 1,000 merit points.”
“…”
Wei Junzi’s eyes widened in shock.
Lu Zhou did not pay any attention to the two from the Crimson Sun Sect. Instead, he looked down at Sun Jie who had been shot down from the sky. At this moment, he was shaking his head and still trying his best to escape. He flew up into the sky again
Lu Zhou raised his hand, and Unnamed materialized instantly in the form of a bow. He drew the bowstring back with two fingers before he released the arrow. Needless to say, his arrow had never missed its target.
Subsequently, Lu Zhou turned around with his hands on his back. His gaze fell on Wei Junzi who was in a daze.
The battle between the three Ten-leaf elites was still ongoing in the sky.
Alas, the red energy obscured Lu Zhou’s view.
At this moment, the thumping sounds coming from the depths of the forest in the valley grew louder and louder.
Due to the red energies from the battle, the fake vitality energy that spilled out from the small green bottle was not too obvious. However, those with a keen nose for vitality energy definitely would not miss it.
…
Meanwhile, all the cultivators in the vicinity of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range could only look at the sky above the valley with their mouths agape. However, due to the red energies, they did not have a clear look at the battle. They rubbed their watery eyes as they tried to see what was happening, not paying attention to Lu Zhou at all. Hence, they did not see Lu Zhou killing the trio from the Crimson Sun Sect.
On the other hand, the Nine-leaf cultivators from the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect who were slightly closer to the battle had already discovered the strange thumping noises from the forest. Unfortunately, the sounds of the battle between the three Ten-leaf cultivators were too loud and the red energies were too dazzling that they did not pay attention to strange noises in the forest.
“Ding! You’ve killed a target. Obtained 1,500 merit points. Obtained domain bonus 1,000 merit points.”
Lu Zhou remained indifferent when he received the notification for killing Sun Jie. The number of merit points was insignificant to him, after all.
After a moment, he looked at Wei Junzi who was lying on the ground silently. After a long time, he finally said, “You overestimated yourself.”
Wei Junzi was someone who cherished his life more than ordinary people. His body trembled as he pleaded, “Please, please spare my life, senior! Senior… If I wouldn’t have done this if I knew this was going to happen…”
Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to Wei Junzi and continued to watch the battle.
At this moment…
A wave of red energy rippled out as a figure retreated to the left and two figures retreated to the right.
It seemed like the outcome of the battle had been decided.
The red energy in the sky gradually dissipated as well.
The Sky Martial Court’s Yu Chenshu was standing at the right side while the other two were on the left, clutching at their chests.
Xuan Chengzi from the Daoist’s Void Sect and the True Kunlun Sect’s Mo Xinglu were drenched in blood. Both of them were gasping for air, unable to speak. However, their eyes spoke of their unwillingness.
Yu Chenshu placed his hands on his back and looked at the duo as he said, “Why would you do this if you knew this would happen?”
Lu Zhou. “…”
Xuan Chengzi said, “Why?!”
“There’s no why. Let alone the two of you, even a Birth Chart master won’t be able to do anything to me,” Yu Chenshu said seriously, “If we were in the Sky Martial Court, even a Birth Chart Master would die without a burial ground.”
Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu. “…”
The Nine-lead cultivator was again shocked by Yu Chenshu’s strength.
At this moment, a figure flew up from below. It was none other than the Sky Martial Court’s Jian Tingzhong. He held the life heart in his hand and said excitedly, “Court master! I have the life heart!”
Yu Chenshu said, “Very good.”
At this moment, Wei Junzi thought this was his best chance to survive. He shouted desperately, “Court master! I know how to defeat the Birth Chart Beasts in the valley! Please save me!”
Lu Zhou looked at Wei Junzi immediately.
After that, Yu Chenshu looked over as well. A trace of surprise could be seen in his eyes. ‘Where are the Nine-leaf cultivators from the Crimson Sun Sect? Although he was watching the battle, he’s not affected at all. In fact, not a speck of dust could be seen on him…’
Yu Chenshu flew over to Lu Zhou and Wei Junzi and looked down from the sky as he asked, “You didn’t die?”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “How could a Nine-leaf cultivator hurt me?”
Yu Chenshu frowned as realization dawned on him. “I didn’t expect the elite from Cloud Mountain to be right in front of me all along….”
Wei Junzi. “???”
“You knew?”
“I naturally knew it was a trap, but I decided to play along. I just didn’t expect Brother Lu to be so young,” Yu Chenshu said airily.
