Chapter 101: Shattered Bones, Scattered Ashes and Soul
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Foundation Establishment cultivators were prepared to risk their lives to deal with a Foundation Establishment array master.
What was this?
It was like four muscular men fighting against a weak idol who only knew how to sing and dance!
Would the brawny men lose? They definitely wouldn’t lose!
Li Yueru and the others felt that they had the absolute advantage.
As for why Lu Yuan stood there without moving, Li Yueru and the others believe that the former probably didn’t expect the cultivators of the Xueyang Sect to have a life-risking divine ability like Blood Ignition.
He was probably so shocked by this sudden scene that he forgot to escape.
Such were the array masters who only knew how to hide behind the vanguards.
Looking at the motionless Lu Yuan, Li Yueru’s speed increased once again.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Lu Yuan.
His arm which was now a mantis-like blood blade after his Blood Demon transformation slashed toward Lu Yuan’s vital points at an astonishing speed.
It was obvious that he wanted to kill Lu Yuan on the spot and end the battle quickly.
However, as Li Yueru’s blood blade was about to land, the sharp blade was suddenly blocked by a green spiritual energy barrier.
Bang!
When the blood blade landed on the spiritual energy barrier, it collided with it with a crisp sound.
A diamond-shaped pattern that looked like a black tortoise shell appeared on the spiritual energy barrier, completely blocking his attack.
Li Yueru was surprised by the rebound from the barrier, but he didn’t stop his attack.
As an array master who was not good at fighting, it was not strange for Lu Yuan to have learnt a life-saving skill.
However, no matter how good a defense was, it would eventually reveal a flaw.
He did not believe that Lu Yuan’s spiritual energy barrier could block his barrage of raging attacks!
Thinking of this, Li Yueru, who had the bloodline of the Sickle Moon Demonic Mantis, quickly swung his arms.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless crimson-colored afterimages began to fall on Lu Yuan’s spiritual energy barrier, clashing with it loudly.
At the same time, the other three cultivators of the Xueyang Sect also rushed over.
Together with Li Yueru, they attacked the spiritual energy barrier frenziedly.
Their hatred for Lu Yuan was apparent based on their frenzied attacks.
If they did not get rid of Lu Yuan, it was absolutely impossible for them to escape from this place.
There was another reason for their urgency; they could not allow the battle here to drag on.
After all, this place was very close to the Moon Mountain Pass.
If the battle dragged on, they might attract the attention of others in the pass.
Even if just two or three Innate Stage martial artists or Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators came over due to the commotion, they would most likely perish here.
Therefore, they had to end the battle quickly!
In the sky, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators attacked Lu Yuan’s black tortoise barrier with all their might.
At this moment, they were burning at their life force and fighting with all their might.
Their attempts to do so appeared pathetic, but the way they fought with all their might and had no regrets was really cool!
However, risking their lives didn’t mean that everything would go their way.
After attacking for half a minute, Li Yueru and the other three were horrified to find out that the spiritual energy barrier around Lu Yuan’s body actually did not show any signs of breaking!
This guy’s shell was too f*cking hard!
How was he an array master? He was practically the reincarnation of a tortoise demon!
Even a tortoise demon would doubt the defensive abilities of its own shell if it encountered him.
Even the shell of a tortoise demon was not as hard as Lu Yuan’s spiritual barrier!
Just as Li Yueru and the others were doubting their decision to engage with Lu Yuan, the latter finally made up his mind.
The reason why he hadn’t counterattacked and had allowed Li Yueru and the others to attack crazily for a while was not because he wanted to conserve his strength or that he looked down on them.
On the contrary, Lu Yuan thought too highly of them!
He seemed to be standing on the spot motionless.
However, Lu Yuan’s Foundation Establishment wind spiritual roots had long been mobilized.
Moreover, he had gathered the Formless Squall on the flying sword under his feet in advance.
As long as the four of them showed even the slightest sign of hurting him, he would immediately run away and distance himself from them.
Did they think he was just defending?
No, he was not. He was also prepared to run away at any given moment!
In terms of steadiness, Lu Yuan was certainly unrivaled.
After half a minute of observation, he concluded that the strength of these Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xueyang Sect could not pose any threat to him!
He felt that it was about time to end this charade.
Once he made a decision, Lu Yuan would never drag his feet.
He didn’t want to waste his breath on them and instantly counterattacked.
He activated his special divine ability, Formless Squall!
Among the four cultivators who surrounded Lu Yuan, only Li Yueru suddenly felt a strong sense of danger and subconsciously tilted his head to dodge.
The next second, a sharp gust of wind brushed past his cheek and left a bloody mark on his face.
If he hadn’t moved in time, this terrifying wind would have sliced his head in half.
However, even though Li Yueru managed to dodge it, the other cultivators of the Xueyang Sect were not so lucky.
Bloody lines appeared on the other three cultivators from the Xueyang Sect.
The location of these bloody lines were shockingly on the necks of the three.
Then, as the bloody lines continued to expand…
Splash!
With the sound of blood spurting out, three heads slowly slid off the cultivators’ bodies.
The three powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators died silently beside Li Yueru.
Witnessing the death of his companions with his own eyes made Li Yueru feel endless fear.
He didn’t even know how they died.
This feeling of not knowing anything made him feel a strong sense of death.
How could this guy in front of him be a weak and easily bullied array master?
He was clearly a devil who killed without batting an eyelid!
Thinking of this, Li Yueru no longer had the desire to continue fighting.
How could he put up a fight against Lu Yuan?
Facing such a monster, if he continued to fight, he would only die in vain.
Previously, even when there were 10 Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were unable to deal with Lu Yuan.
Now that four Foundation Establishment cultivators had died, it was even more impossible for him to be Lu Yuan’s match.
Thinking of this, Li Yueru decisively flew off into the distance.
As he flew, he stuffed a pill into his mouth.
This pill was a special pill that every cultivator of the Xueyang Sect would have. It was the Blood Burst Pill.
Its use was also very simple. It was an enhanced version of the Blood Ignition divine ability.
After consuming this pill, a cultivator of the Xueyang Sect would be able to ignite their own cultivation in exchange for an even more terrifying explosive power.
However, after that, not only would their cultivation level be greatly reduced, but the possibility of them reaching the Core Formation stage would also be completely cut off.
It was because in this process, their spiritual roots would suffer irreparable damage.
In reality, if he had a choice, Li Yueru would never use this pill.
It was a pill that traded the future for the present.
However, if he did not use it in this situation, he would not even have a future!
Lu Yuan looked at Li Yueru’s speed which had almost doubled and smiled disdainfully.
Did Li Yueru wish to compete with him in speed? The former was still a little inexperienced!
Lu Yuan raised his right hand, and a sword pellet immediately flew out of his storage bag.
In the blink of an eye, a green sword floated in front of Lu Yuan.
He would make use of the wind with the Sword Control Technique!
With the support of the Formless Squall, the green sword instantly chased after Li Yueru.
Li Yueru, who was running away, suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air behind him.
He turned around in a panic, only to see a green afterimage pass through his body in an instant.
Then, an intense pain came from his chest.
Li Yueru lowered his head and realized that a green sword had been stabbed into his chest.
The Formless Squall that enveloped the sword directly entered his body, destroying all his meridians.
The shadow of death instantly enveloped him.
“Where are you going?”
Li Yueru turned his head with difficulty and found that Lu Yuan had appeared beside him silently.
As Li Yueru watched in terror, Lu Yuan waved his hand.
Countless sharp gusts of wind slashed across Li Yueru’s body.
In the last moments of his life, a question flashed past in his mind.
Why was this array master faster than him even though he had used the Blood Burst Pill?
Didn’t the former specialize in formations and defensive divine abilities?
If Lu Yuan knew his thoughts, he would definitely question Li Yueru instead.
In this day and age, what was the difference between having high defense and being a punching bag?
High defense and high speed were the best combination!
