Chapter 82: Thinking Ahead
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As a special existence that had gathered 30 Blood Warrior Monks, the crimson-red deity’s strength was undoubted.
As the crimson-red deity raised its hand, a large amount of blood qi power began to appear around it and gather in its palm.
Not long after, a terrifying blood bead appeared in the hand of the crimson-red deity. It looked like a bead condensed from holy blood.
Then, the crimson-red deity aimed the blood bead in Lu Yuan’s direction and suddenly launched an attack.
The blood bead tore through the sky and crushed toward Lu Yuan with a violent sound.
However, just as the blood bead was about to hit Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan instantly turned into an afterimage and suddenly disappeared from where he was.
When he reappeared, he was already on top of the crimson-red deity.
…..
The crimson-red deity did not expect such an astonishing speed.
Even Mu Qiqi and Bai Dafei, who were at the back, did not expect this.
Bai Dafei, who was originally prepared to attack, was stunned on the spot because he was shocked by Lu Yuan’s speed.
He thought, “Oh my god! Junior Brother Lu, your speed is a little too fast!”
Under Bai Dafei’s shocked gaze, Lu Yuan began to harass the crimson-red deity with his astonishing speed.
The crimson-red deity did not have any good counterattack. Its clumsy movement speed was its fatal weakness, and Lu Yuan had astonishing speed.
The scene immediately became interesting.
The crimson-red deity tried to slap Lu Yuan down from the sky many times.
However, Lu Yuan seemed to have made up his mind to only harass and not attack.
As a result, the crimson-red deity’s attacks could not pose any effective threat to Lu Yuan at all. Lu Yuan easily dodged every attack.
Lu Yuan wanted to make the crimson-red deity focus on him.
Occasionally, he would even take the initiative to slash the crimson-red deity with his flying sword.
However, it was unknown whether the crimson-red deity’s defensive power was too shocking or Lu Yuan’s attack was too perfunctory.
As a result, the so-called flying sword attack could not cause any effective damage to the crimson-red deity at all.
However, it had to be said that Lu Yuan’s “kiting tactic” had indeed caused the crimson-red deity’s anger to reach its peak.
The deity couldn’t hit him, and the attack didn’t hurt.
To the deity, the Qingyun Sect cultivator was really annoying!
On the other hand, Bai Dafei saw Lu Yuan perfectly holding back the crimson-red deity by himself. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up on the idea of attacking the crimson-red deity.
For a moment, Bai Dafei felt like he was out of place among the three of them.
In terms of seniority, he was Lu Yuan and Mu Qiqi’s senior brother.
Logically speaking, he should take on the responsibility of taking the initiative to kill the devil.
But in fact, his cultivation was not as high as Mu Qiqi’s and his divine abilities didn’t seem to be as powerful as Lu Yuan’s.
Rather than slaying devils, Bai Dafei was just standing there and watching the show!
For a moment, Bai Dafei even began to doubt his life, thinking, “Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here? Didn’t we agree that Junior Brother Lu and I would restrain this crimson-red deity together? But why does the situation look like… If I go up, I might cause trouble instead! Maybe, probably… As long as I stand where I am and do nothing, everything will be over!”
That wasn’t Bai Dafei’s misconception. It was the truth.
If he went up now, he might really be of no help.
Lu Yuan attracted all of the crimson-red deity’s attention.
Behind him, Mu Qiqi had almost finished refining the low-grade magic item, the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword.
As for Bai Dafei…
Half an hour ago, he stood there without moving. Half an hour later, he was still standing there without moving!
It wasn’t that Bai Dafei didn’t want to move, but that he couldn’t!
Because if he went up, not only would he not be able to help Lu Yuan, but he might also distract Lu Yuan and force Lu Yuan to exert more strength.
Although Lu Yuan and the crimson-red deity appeared evenly matched, in reality, Lu Yuan had only used about 50% of his strength.
So far, Lu Yuan was only using the Wind-riding Sword Control Technique and his Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens wind spiritual root to restrain the crimson-red deity.
Perhaps some people would think that Lu Yuan was a little arrogant.
However, Lu Yuan could only say such people lacked foresight.
A steady person must not only look at the present but also at the future.
Take one step, look ten steps ahead, and think a hundred steps ahead.
Although the “Chen De rebellion” case had not ended yet, Lu Yuan had already begun to lay the foundation for the aftermath.
If Lu Yuan’s performance in the battle was too outstanding, it would definitely not be a good thing for him. It would mean that he was very likely to be noticed by the higher-ups of the sect and thus be forced to end his lazy life ahead of time.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had never considered how to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Instead, he focused on thinking of a way to reduce his presence in the incident.
As for whether acting like that would cause Chen De to escape, Lu Yuan felt that it was impossible. This was because Lu Yuan had not arranged for only Bai Dafei and Mu Qiqi to join in the mission.
If Lu Yuan was not completely confident in solving the case, he would not have personally come to the Great Xia palace.
As for Lu Yuan’s other arrangements, even Mu Qiqi and Bai Dafei weren’t very clear about it.
As Lu Yuan held back the crimson-red deity and Bai Dafei was in a stalemate for some time, Mu Qiqi finally finished the preparation of the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword. “Junior Brother Lu, get out of the way!”
Hearing the words behind him, Lu Yuan turned into a gust of wind and instantly shook off the crimson-red deity.
Almost at the same time as Lu Yuan left, a huge golden flying sword appeared above the crimson-red deity’s head.
The crimson-red deity could feel the terrifying fluctuations coming from the flying sword, immediately revealing a terrified expression.
“Roar!” In the face of danger, the crimson-red deity began to absorb the vitality of the 30 Blood Warrior Monks crazily.
The Blood Warrior Monks who had formed the array below it began to spit out blood.
Then, the blood-colored swastika on the crimson-red deity’s chest began to emit intense light.
The crimson-red deity raised its palm and struck at the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword above its head.
Before long, the huge golden sword of light collided with the crimson-red deity’s palm.
Boom!
A huge explosion instantly swept through the entire scene.
The shockingly powerful Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword was actually in a stalemate with the crimson-red deity for a short period of time.
Mu Qiqi controlled the Coiling Snake Golden Light Sword, and a large amount of sweat appeared on her face.
If Mu Qiqi was like this, then the crimson-red deity would naturally be in a bad situation.
The 30 Blood Warrior Monks that formed the crimson-red deity all began to bleed from their seven orifices, and their vitality was rapidly decreasing…
Crash!
There was a sound like glass shattering.
Cracks began to appear on the crimson-red deity’s palm.
The crack started from its palm and spread all the way to its entire arm..
