Chapter 83: Invincible
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Yuan looked at the crimson-red deity that could actually resist a low-grade magic item for a short period of time, and he was very shocked.
After all, the person controlling this low-grade magic item, the Coiling Snake
Golden Light Sword, was Mu Qiqi, who was level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It was amazing that 30 Blood Warrior Monks that were refined using a special technique could actually fight against Mu Qiqi for a short time.
Lu Yuan couldn’t imagine how deep the foundations of the three devilish sects were.
But thinking about it, Lu Yuan thought three devilish sects could not compete with the five righteous sects.
After all, they lost in numbers.
As Lu Yuan’s thoughts were flying, the crimson-red deity in the distance seemed to have reached its limit.
Out of the 30 Blood Warrior Monks, ten of them exploded instantly, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky.
The remaining 20 Blood Warrior Monks were not in a better state either. Their bodies were covered in open wounds, and they looked like they would explode at any moment.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
The crimson-red deity’s right arm suddenly exploded.
Then, a large amount of sticky blood swarmed onto Mu Qiqi’s Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
The blood that suddenly attacked was quickly burned by the golden light, emitting an ear-piercing sound.
However, because there was too much blood, it eventually fell on the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
As a result, the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword, which was originally emitting a dazzling golden light, instantly dimmed.
Mu Qiqi, who was mentally connected to the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword, turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, at the last moment, Mu Qiqi also showed great tenacity.
She endured the pain in her head and pressed her fingers down.
The shaking Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword actually accelerated its descent once more.
The crimson-red deity, who had lost an arm, could no longer resist the flying sword.
Splash!
Perhaps it was because the blood of the crimson-red deity had a significant force. As a result, the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword did not land on the crimson-red deity’s head in the end. Instead, it landed on its shoulder.
However, the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword that was imbued with the Qingyun Giant Sword Technique still cut through a small part of the crimson-red deity’s body.
The wound started from the crimson-red deity’s right shoulder and spread all the way to its abdomen.
However, the vitality and blood qi of the deity that was summoned after sacrificing 30 Blood Warrior Monks was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Even after suffering such serious injuries, the crimson-red deity was still not completely dead. It even retained a certain amount of combat power.
However, Mu Qiqi no longer had the ability to control the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
Then, the crimson-red deity used its own heart blood to pollute Mu Qiqi’s mind energy infused in the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
Although Mu Qiqi didn’t receive any direct attacks, her mind was hurt.
After enduring for a moment, Mu Qiqi, who had suffered a serious mental injury, finally fainted.
In contrast, the crimson-red deity with a terrifying physical body had completely lost an arm and half of its body had been split open on the spot.
On its shoulder was the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword that had been debuffed of the Qingyun Giant Sword Technique.
But even so, the crimson-red deity still did not completely lose its combat power and was even drawing power from the remaining blood qi and vitality of the 30 Blood Warrior Monks.
The crimson-red deity stood up slowly, and Lu Yuan frowned as he watched carefully.
Bai Dafei, who was at the side, was also a little lost.
After all, he didn’t expect that Mu Qiqi couldn’t kill the monster even after using her low-grade magic item.
“Junior Brother Lu, why don’t we take Senior Sister Mu and run?” Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, before Lu Yuan could say anything about running away, Bai Dafei spoke first.
But at this moment, Lu Yuan actually rejected the suggestion. “Senior Brother
Bai, it’s no longer a matter of whether we run or not. It’s where we run…”
“Ah?” Bai Dafei was stunned. Then, he looked around.
An enormous blood-colored array enveloped the entire capital of Great Xia.
Such a huge array could not be prepared in a day. It must have been the result of years of arrangement.
Judging from the strength of the array, it seemed to be able to seal off the entry and exit of cultivators below the Core Formation Stage.
Bai Dafei couldn’t figure out where this puny emperor of Great Xia, Chen De, had gotten so many trump cards.
How could he be an ordinary mortal emperor with such methods?
Even some of the Core Formation Stage elders in the sect might not be as good as him!
Although he knew that he couldn’t escape, Bai Dafei thought of something and said hesitantly, “Junior Brother Lu, although this fellow’s strength is amazing and its physique is outstanding, its movements are very slow. If the two of us were to take it around the city, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to drag it out until the rest of the sect comes to our aid.”
Bai Dafei had thought that the steady Lu Yuan would agree to his decision.
However, Lu Yuan shook his head again. “Senior Brother Bai, this fellow must be dealt with here. We must not let him out.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Senior Brother Bai, look behind you.”
Bai Dafei turned around and found that a large amount of fire had appeared outside the palace. And amidst the flames, there was the sound of intense battle. “Junior Brother Lu, what is happening outside?”
“Senior Brother Bai, although I’ve only been in the Imperial capital for a short three years, I’m still the director of the Devil Slayers Division in the Imperial capital. Before I came to the palace, I had already expected such a situation to occur. Therefore, I’ve warned everyone in the department in advance that as long as I don’t send back my order by a certain time, all the devil-slaying practitioners will take complete control of the Imperial capital,” said Lu Yuan.
Bai Dafei answered, “Junior Brother, I’m not worried about my own safety, but I’m afraid that Chen De will be desperate and use the citizens of the city as a bargaining chip to threaten us. As for the scene outside the palace, I think it’s exactly what we expected. There must be an intense battle happening outside the palace.”
Lu Yuan spoke. “If the two of us are unable to deal with this crimson-red deity, we might end up letting it run amok. Then the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Imperial capital will definitely suffer this calamity.”
Even so, Bai Dafei still said anxiously, “But Junior Brother Lu, this monster is not something the two of us can deal with at all!”
Lu Yuan shook his head. “It’s a mess. Senior Sister Mu’s golden light flying sword actually caused great damage to this guy. The ten Blood Warrior Monks who exploded and died are undoubtedly the best proof. Although this guy is still powerful, he is at most at level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even lower.”
At this point, Lu Yuan suddenly changed the topic, “Senior Brother Bai, can you promise me something?”
Bai Dafei was stunned and asked, “What is it? No matter what you see or hear later, please pretend that you didn’t see anything. That’s all.”
“All right.”
After receiving Bai Dafei’s affirmative reply, Lu Yuan took the initiative to walk toward the crimson-red deity under Bai Dafei’s stunned gaze.
Bai Dafei was shocked by the imposing manner of the warrior, thinking, “Junior Brother Lu, you only have ten spiritual stones a month. What are you playing at?”
What Bai Dafei didn’t know was that Lu Yuan wasn’t risking his life at this moment.
On the contrary, while ensuring his absolute safety, he was fighting for greater benefits in this incident!
The crimson-red deity was a monster that had fused the flesh and soul of 30 Innate Stage martial artists.
To Lu Yuan, who had mastered the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique, it was undoubtedly the best tonic for him.
If Lu Yuan could refine the deity’s divine soul, it would result in an unimaginable increase in his cultivation.
At this moment, the crimson-red deity was a size smaller than before, and there was a Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword in its shoulder.
However, the aura on the deity’s body was still very powerful, and its blood essence was shocking.
Moreover, the deity’s ferocious appearance showed that it still had extremely powerful combat strength.
Lu Yuan said calmly as he walked, “If you were still in the Core Formation Stage, I wouldn’t have attacked you no matter what. After all, I don’t have a hundred per cent confidence in defeating you at that time. But for the you who has fallen to the Foundation Establishment Stage… It’s different.”
Lu Yuan stopped 20 meters away from the crimson-red deity. The robe on his body fluttered even though there was no wind.
Immediately after, the ground around Lu Yuan seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and a large number of smooth cracks instantly appeared.
Divine ability… Formless Squall!
When Bai Dafei saw that, his pupils constricted. Because at this moment, he felt a terrifying aura that he had never felt before from Lu Yuan.
Bai Dafei had only felt such a feeling from some of the powerful sword cultivator elders in the inner sect.
He thought, “Junior Brother Lu, he… Didn’t he only learn life-saving skills? What is with this fierce aura?”
Lu Yuan raised his hand, and the Qingyun Sword at his waist instantly flew out and landed on his right hand.
At the same time, a large number of green flames emitted from Lu Yuan’s body and fused into a gale.
Wood caused fire, and the wind increased the fire. Endless Vitality was activated!
Fusing the green flame with wood and fire attributes and the ultimate wind-type Formless Squall ability activated the fearsome divine ability, Formless Green Flame!
The crimson-red deity looked at Lu Yuan at this moment, and its face no longer had the arrogance from before.
What replaced it was intense shock and fear.
Lu Yuan had been hiding his strength all this time!
Lu Yuan held the Qingyun Sword in one hand and looked at the crimson-red deity in front of him with a calm expression. “I have cultivated for more than 20 years. The only thing I want is longevity. However, the path of cultivation is full of obstacles. There are always all kinds of dangers along the way. The divine powers that I have refined are mostly for self-protection and not for competition… But nothing is absolute. On the path of cultivation, there will always be times when you have to fight with others. This self-protection method of mine… In special circumstances, it can also be used to kill enemies.” As he spoke, Lu Yuan slowly placed the Qingyun Sword in his hand in front of him.
The surrounding Formless Green Flames instantly seemed to be guided and began to crazily gather on the Qingyun Sword in Lu Yuan’s hand.
Not long after, a longsword emitting a green light appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.
The highly compressed Formless Green Flames on the sword emitted an astonishing amount of spiritual energy.
The flames of the Formless Green Flame reflected Lu Yuan’s calm face. ”1, have cultivated bitterly for so many years and have finally achieved some success in my life-saving technique… I’m invincible against users of Core Formation Stage and below.”
Lu Yuan didn’t mention that for those above the Core Formation Stage, he was evenly matched with them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan swung his sword.
The Formless Green Flames that covered the Qingyun Sword transformed into a terrifying green sword qi that swept toward the crimson-red deity at an astonishing speed.
Bai Dafei looked at the terrifying Formless Green Flames’ sword qi with a dull expression, thinking, “Junior Brother Lu, you actually call this… a life-saving technique?”
