Chapter 264: Chapter 239: It’s Actually Chu Hongye_1
"So you’re pushing me, huh?"
Lu Yan’s eyes were icy, he put away his buffalo horn bow, and his palms shook with a chilly brilliance that radiated from his porcelain white skin.
Thud!
As his palms struck out, a chilling aura spread out, lowering the temperature within dozens of meters around him, as though winter had descended.
With a single palm strike, he sent the Zombie King flying, its body frozen into a block of ice.
Lu Yan was no longer holding back, he pushed the power of his Cold Magic Palm to the realm of Unity of Man and Martial Arts.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
His palms repeatedly struck out, within an instant, five or six zombies were sent flying. These zombies were even more fragile, turning into ice sculptures with just one hit, then shattered into pieces upon colliding with large trees or rocks.
After hitting five or six zombies in succession, he leaped and struck towards a Martial Spirit.
This Martial Spirit, a Fourth-level Master, was horrified. After exchanging a palm strike with Lu Yan, he was engulfed in chilliness that froze his entire body, even his Martial Spirit was frozen.
The terrifying chill quickly drained the life force of the Martial Spirit.
Then, Lu Yan continued to strike out two more palms, smashing this Martial Spirit into dust.
A Fourth-level Master Martial Spirit was killed by Lu Yan in just a few strikes.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan let out a long roar, his Inner Strength churning within him.
The amount of Inner Strength he was mobilizing was continuously increasing, not just eleven strands.
It was twelve, thirteen, fourteen...
He only stopped when he reached sixteen strands of Inner Strength.
Since he had shown his Cold Magic Palm that had reached Unity of Man and Martial Arts, it was only natural for him to display his sixteen strands of Inner Strength.
With sixteen strands of Inner Strength driving the Cold Magic Palm, its power was greatly enhanced. Each palm strike brought a wave of cold air, each was able to fling a zombie away.
Before long, Lu Yan had killed dozens of zombies. Finally, he faced a Martial Spirit who was a Fifth-level Master.
Even a Fifth-level Master Martial Spirit was no match for Lu Yan, he was continuously forced to retreat and his body was entirely covered in frost.
"Lu Yan, to think he possesses such battle prowess."
"He’s just a Third-level Master, but his Inner Strength is incredibly profound, the Inner Strength he has mastered is definitely more than just eleven strands."
"His Cold Magic Palm has already reached the unity of man and martial arts."
Thoughts surfaced in the minds of Wang Guangyao, Zhang Ke, and the others.
Lu Yan’s formidable display of power alleviated the pressure on everyone, but it made the faces of the Martial Spirits, including Tu Yu, darken.
Tu Yu was fighting Liu Boguang. They exchanged a glance and gradually moved closer to Wang Guangyao while continuing to fight.
When they were about ten meters apart, Tu Yu made a sudden strike, wielding his blade at Wang Guangyao with all his might.
And at the same time, Liu Boguang attacked Wang Guangyao from another side.
Wang Guangyao, who had never expected a Golden Martial Hunter like Tu Yu to suddenly turn on him, was caught off guard. Furthermore, he had another Sixth-level Master Martial Spirit to deal with so it was too late to dodge.
He could only manage to twist his body to avoid any deadly blows, simultaneously activating his Inner Strength to protect his body.
Whoosh!
Tu Yu’s war blade scraped across Wang Guangyao’s abdomen, nearly slicing him in half.
The Old Martial Spirit and Liu Boguang took advantage of the moment to launch their finishing moves, intending to kill Wang Guangyao in one blow.
In the eyes of the Martial Spirits, among the group including Lu Yan, Wang Guangyao was the strongest, hence they targeted him first, intending to take him down first.
"Damn."
Lu Yan’s face changed, his legs tensed as he prepared to go all out to rescue Wang Guangyao.
But he was too far from Wang Guangyao, even if he pushed himself to the limit, he wouldn’t be in time.
Just then, a dazzling Sword Light soared sky-high, accompanied by a chilling air that was several times more terrifying than when Lu Yan was operating the Cold Magic Palm at full strength. It filled the entire arena.
Two Sword Lights flew out.
One targeted that old Martial Spirit and the other targeted Liu Boguang.
Before the Sword Light could land, Liu Boguang felt as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.
Ahh!
Liu Boguang let out a feral howl, a black shadow rushed out from within his body, trying to block the Sword Light.
But when the Sword Light fell, Liu Boguang’s body and Martial Spirit were all frozen and shattered into fragments with a thud.
And that old Martial Spirit was knocked flying by the sword, his body covered in frost crystals, almost frozen into an ice block.
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared beside Wang Guangyao, his eyes freezing cold, releasing a chilling air that stared indifferently at Tu Yu.
"Chu... Hong..."
Tu Yu recoiled as if he had fallen into an icehouse. Just as he was trying to retreat, a Sword Light swept towards him, freezing him into an ice block. He couldn’t move at all.
"Chu Hongye."
Lu Yan was astonished.
Zhang Ke was actually Chu Hongye.
However, upon further thought, it made sense.
Those with the potential for King’s True Body would be targeted by other major forces, so they were all proficient in disguise techniques and would change their appearance when executing tasks outside.
With a gentle pat from Chu Hongye on Wang Guangyao’s body, a chill spread out, rapidly freezing the wound on Wang Guangyao’s abdomen to prevent too much blood loss.
"Leave it to me."
Chu Hongye’s eyes were icy, her killing intent chilling. She unleashed her full combat power. On either side of her waist, shadows of a dragon and phoenix soared into the sky, merging with the sword, and her sword technique flourished.
Swinging his sword, a tide of coldness swept out, instantly freezing over thirty zombies into ice blocks.
An area around him was cleared.
The sword light flashed as two extremely cold and yin sword lights flew out, separately trying to kill the old man’s Martial Spirit and another Sixth-level Master’s Martial Spirit.
The terrifying sword light made the two Sixth-level Masters’ Martial Spirits extremely serious, trying their best to resist.
But Chu Hongye was too strong.
Although he was only a Fourth-level Master, when he unleashed his full strength, he would still suppress the Martial Spirits of the two Sixth-level Masters.
With just one sword, the Martial Spirit old man’s two arms turned into ice blocks, so frightened that he summoned his Martial Spirit to resist Chu Hongye’s attack.
The other person wasn’t doing any better, half of his body was frozen. Li Chengkong and Zhang Ling’er took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, blasting the person to pieces.
Of course, this person was a Martial Spirit and naturally wouldn’t die so easily. Black lines filled the air, the broken body reassembled, but it was evident that he was much weaker.
Swift, swift!
Chu Hongye’s attack arrived again, the sword light soaring into the sky, enveloping the Martial Spirits of the two Sixth-level Masters.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan was also attacking the Martial Spirit of the Fifth-level Master with all his might.
In a flash, he appeared behind the opponent and struck two palms on the opponent’s back, breaking the opponent into two. The broken body was covered with a layer of ice and was unable to recover for a while.
Taking a step forward, Lu Yan continually slapped out with both palms. The Top Martial Arts of Unity of Man and Martial Arts exhibited terrifying power. The force of the palms was like tidal waves, one wave after another, continuously.
In an instant, he threw out eighteen palms.
Bang!
This Fifth-level Master’s Martial Spirit was blown to pieces, and even the Martial Spirit exploded into pieces and transformed into wisps of black smoke.
At this point, only two Martial Spirits of the Sixth-level Masters that showed up earlier were left.
The Golden Martial Hunter who came with Tu Yu had a pale face. He didn’t expect that Tu Yu was also a Martial Spirit. It seemed that he was afraid of being implicated and was desperately killing zombies as if his life didn’t matter.
After killing the Martial Spirit of the Fifth-level Master, Lu Yan didn’t stop. He killed more than fifty zombies, including a zombie king.
Then he pulled out his horn bow, aiming at the old Martial Spirit, and shot five arrows in succession.
A series of thunders sounded, and the speed of the arrows increased dramatically, just like flowing light.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
Of the five arrows, four hit the old Martial Spirit. The arrows entered the body and then exploded, tearing the body apart with their mighty forces.
Chu Hongye would not miss such an opportunity. A rolling Sword Light fell, freezing the broken body of the old Martial Spirit. Then the Sword Light curled up and crushed the old Martial Spirit’s body along with the black shadow inside.
However, even then the old Martial Spirit didn’t die and the black shadow quickly recombined and recovered.
Cultivating Top Martial Arts, combined with the Cultivation Level of a Sixth-level Master, made the vitality of the old Martial Spirit formidable.
"Humph, trying to recover in front of me? Perish."
Chu Hongye coldly snorted, another sword light rolled down, tens of sword lights appeared instantly, and the black shadow was crushed again.
This time, the black shadow had difficulty recovering and turned into black smoke.
The other Sixth-level Master’s Martial Spirit, after being blown to pieces for the first time, no longer dared to linger. While Chu Hongye focused all his strength on the old Martial Spirit, he turned around and left.
Lu Yan fired a few more arrows, hitting that Martial Spirit.
The Martial Spirit roared, his Martial Spirit energy running to the extreme, on the verge of a violent change, transformed into a giant spider, with eight long legs running wildly, fleeing to the depths of the ancient battlefield.
Lu Yan followed, his toes tapping the ground and catching up.
At this moment, Chu Hongye also killed the old Martial Spirit.
"You guys take care of Wang Guangyao."
Chu Hongye left a sentence, stirring up a cold wind, and also went after the last Martial Spirit.
The running spider Martial Spirit kicked up a lot of broken stones with its eight legs, shooting them at Lu Yan in an attempt to stop him.
At the same time, it continued running, spitting out circles of spider webs, hanging them on the big trees behind it, once again to block Lu Yan.
Lu Yan used his Inner Strength to protect his body, disregarding those broken stones, and fired a few more arrows at the trees holding the spider webs. The trees exploded, and the spider web fell to the ground.
Lu Yan rushed through, quickly closing the distance to his opponent, and then shot several arrowheads, flying through the gaps in the spider webs to the spider Martial Spirit.
This time he brought more than a hundred arrows, enough for him to use.
The spider Martial Spirit waved several claws, just like javelins, blocking the arrows.
At that point, Chu Hongye approached, slashing out a sword, and a sword Qi flew forward, making the spider webs on the road freeze and explode.
There was a phoenix cry. From Chu Hongye’s War Sword, a figure of an ice phoenix rushed out and spread its wings. Chu Hongye stepped on the ice phoenix and flew forward quickly.
"Is it possible to do this too..."
Lu Yan was surprised. The Internal God-man was indeed mysterious.
This spurred him also to speed up and closely follow Chu Hongye.
Swoosh!
Chu Hongye swung a sword in midair towards the spider Martial Spirit. Although the spider Martial Spirit waved its claws to resist, blocking the sword’s light, its claws and most of its body were covered by the ice layer, causing its speed to drop rapidly.
Lu Yan seized the opportunity and shot another three arrows.
This time, the spider Martial Spirit couldn’t resist and was hit directly.
The power of Thunder Nine Sounds was unquestionable, even though Lu Yan only displayed Reaching the Peak of Perfection level in his cultivation, and his Inner Strength produced only sixteen lines, its power was still terrifying.
Just like three lines of light, they pierced through the thick shell of the spider Martial Spirit and then exploded inside, blasting the body of the spider Martial Spirit to pieces.
The Martial spirit broke free and screamed. When the black fog was filled, the broken body was recovering.
But Chu Hongye immediately swung down a sword, and the spider Martial Spirit was rapidly frozen.
"Sir, save me."
The spider Martial Spirit shouted these words before being completely frozen.
