Chapter 288 - 288: Opportune Re-encounter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yu went searching in the direction from which the commotion was heard and he eventually arrived at a patch of mountain forest.
In the middle of a clearing within the forest, Lu Yu saw five figures engaged in a furious battle with a big, multi-colored tiger.
The male cultivator leading the group held a long sword, searching for a weak spot from time to time on the big, multi-colored tiger which he could attack.
The other two men and two women were coordinating their attacks in tandem with the sword-wielding male cultivator. They attacked the big, multi-colored tiger from the side every now and then, trying to distract the attention of the big, multi-colored tiger.
Although the big, multi-colored tiger possessed the combat prowess of a human cultivator at the Grade 5 War General level, it was still outnumbered in the face of the group attack.
Facing the combined attacks of five human cultivators at the Grade 2 War General level, the tiger found it hard to fend them off.
The sword -wielding male cultivator leading the pack had already left numerous slashes of wounds on the tiger’s body with his long sword.
As he watched the ongoing battle, Lu Yu began to silently mourn the end of this big, multi-colored tiger in his heart.
However, just as Lu Yu was about to leave, his eyes were instantly drawn to a strange fruit tree behind the big, multi-colored tiger.
“This is… the Crimson Spirit Fruit?”
When he saw the seven fruits on the strange fruit tree, Lu Yu immediately held his breath and stood frozen in place with some disbelief.
This so-called Crimson Spirit Fruit was able to help a cultivator at the War General level break through to the next realm if consumed!
And there were exactly seven of them under his very nose!
In other words, if a Grade 1 War General were to swallow these seven Crimson Spirit Fruits, he would directly advance in one leap to become a Grade 8 War General!
When he thought of this, Lu Yu’s eyes became ablaze with enthusiastic fervor. When such a good opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in his strength presented itself at his doorstep, Lu Yu had no reason to let it go.
Just when Lu Yu was hesitating and considering whether to make a move to grab the strange fruits on this tree from the hands of these five people, another group of people suddenly came out from a portal that appeared out of thin air.
When the young man leading the group saw the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree behind the big, multi-colored tiger, he immediately yelled joyously.
“Hahahaha! The heavens are indeed on my side! As soon as I entered the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, I encountered such a great opportunity! ”
“Those five people over there. Hey, the five of you there. Leave this place at once. Our Nie family is taking this Crimson Spirit Fruit tree!”
The young man shouted loudly while gesturing to the group of people behind him with a big wave of his hand.
After receiving the young man’s instructions, the group of people behind him rushed forward and surrounded the five people who were about to kill the big, multi-colored tiger.
As he surveyed the group of people who suddenly appeared, a glint of iciness flashed across the eyes of the leading male cultivator wielding a long sword. With one slash of his sword, he defeated the big, multi-colored tiger and turned his attention to the young man standing apart from the group of people.
“I don’t give a damn about your position in the Nie family. The five of us siblings are the first to discover this Crimson Spirit Fruit tree!”
“We have almost defeated this big, multi-colored tiger guarding the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree. Now your Nie family simply show up and demand that we hand over the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree just like that.”
“Don’t you think you people from the Nie family are too tyrannical by acting in this way?”
The young man leading the Nie family members who was standing apart from the rest immediately laughed scornfully.
“Hahaha! You people are funny. It’s an honor for you that the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree you discovered has caught our Nie family’s eye!”
“If you five Grade 2 War Generals want to go up against our Nie family, I advise you to reassess your own strength before you speak!”
As the leading youth from the Nie family said this, he clapped his hands.
Immediately, a few of the Nie family members who had surrounded the group of five cultivators revealed their strengths.
The group of five were astonished to discover that the few Nie family cultivators possessed the strength of a Grade 5 War General!
After sensing that those few Nie family cultivators were at the Grade 5 War General level, the expression on the male cultivator wielding the long sword suddenly changed drastically.
The other two men and two women also appeared worried. A strong sense of resentment rose up in the depths of their eyes.
Faced with the Nie family’s people, who were way stronger than his own group, the leading male cultivator wielding a long sword could only grit his teeth with resentment and said loudly to his four companions, “Let’s go!”
Although the other four were also filled with resentment inwardly, seeing that their own big brother had spoken, they could only follow the male cultivator holding the long sword with a heart full of grievance and quickly left the place. Lu Yu, who was watching this scene and had never once shown his face, was rejoicing at the unexpected turn of events.
He was initially fretting over whether he should snatch the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree from the hands of those five people. However, now that the Nie family’s people suddenly intervened, Lu Yu no longer felt any reservation.
Lu Yu had already come into conflict with two of the four great families earlier. After that, enmity arose between him and the Hu family, which was related to the Nie family by marriage. There was no way that Lu Yu would be afraid to offend the Nie family.
“The Nie family! Sworn enemies inevitably cross paths! Since I have the fortune of bumping into you guys, I am not going to let you guys off so easily!” As Lu Yu spoke, he took out a set of A-class protective battle suit from his interspatial ring. He then masked up his face, and only then did he carry the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and rushed out with confidence.
At this moment, the young man leading the Nie family had just finished off the big, multi-colored tiger with his group of members, and was about to celebrate this first great opportunity he had encountered with his group of Nie family members when suddenly, Lu Yu, wearing camouflage, came charging out from some very obscure corner.
The Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand straightaway decapitated the head of the young man leading the Nie family with a single strike.
The head of the young man leading the Nie family rolled down to the ground, his eyes wide with astonishment.
The other Nie family members by his side looked at the head of their own leader and stood rooted in shock by this sudden turn of events.
However, those few cultivators at the Grade 5 War General level from the Nie family came back to their senses very soon and quickly whipped out their weapons and went charging towards Lu Yu.
Facing the combined attack of five people, Lu Yu smiled faintly and recited indifferently, “Illusionary Realm Kingdom!”
As soon as Lu Yu’s voice subsided, the five cultivators at the Grade 5 War General level from the Nie family and a bunch of other Nie family members were all dragged into the Illusionary Realm Kingdom by Lu Yu before they had time to react.
Looking at the group of Nie family members who were trapped by the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, Lu Yu laughed scornfully.
“Members of the Nie family, welcome to my kingdom!”
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, his figure began moving swiftly. The Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand transformed into a flash of silver light and shot out towards those five Grade 5 War General cultivators!
Before those five Grade 5 War General cultivators had time to react, a flash of blood burst out at the neck of one of the cultivators, and his whole body collapsed into a pool of blood.
When they saw this, the remaining four Grade 5 War General cultivators were frozen in place with fear.
“Are you guys just standing here, waiting for me to send you out of the Primal
Chaos Secret Realm? In that case, I shall grant your wishes!”
Lu Yu’s voice suddenly resounded in their ears, like a demon’s voice..
