Chapter 213: I admit that I was somewhat disrespectful (II)
He quickly stowed away the green leaf enchanted tool and went after the shadowy figure.
Once more, moving with the swiftness of a gust of wind, the shadowy figure turned and unleashed several black starlights. Immediately, Chu Liang opened the green leaf umbrella and successfully deflected all of the attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black starlights exploded in the air, morphing into a sudden shower of black blood. Upon hitting the ground, they emitted a distinct hissing sound. As they struck the wall, they left behind minuscule black holes.
The horse, left unshielded, was splattered, causing it to instantly go into a frenzy, galloping forward uncontrollably.
In the next moment, bloody wounds filled with pus began to form all over half of its body and it died!
Such vicious methods!
Could this person be a high-level member of the Soul Destroyer Sect, coming to rescue their disciple?
Chu Liang had no time to put the green leaf umbrella away as he swiftly pursued the shadowy figure!
Yang Yuhu followed suit, chasing after the gust of black wind straight into the sky, leaving a trailing white afterimage.
Both of them knew that if they had allowed this diabolical cultivator to escape, innocent civilians were bound to suffer! They needed to keep this diabolical cultivator inside the Misty Waters City!
The cultivation level of the shadowy figure was higher. However, as long as they could maintain this pursuit, they would buy enough time for the city supervisor and the powerful soldiers from outside the city to arrive and provide support.
The wind howled, and in the blink of an eye, three beams of light flew out of the city.
Lin Bei attempted to catch up, but right from the start, he fell behind by about a hundred zhang.
He then paused for a moment and stopped. He simply turned around and headed towards the city supervisor's office.
Considering that the city supervisor would have already sensed the fluctuations of foundational qi in the city and would be heading towards the fluctuation of qi, Lin Bei decided that he would head back and be the guide.
By doing so, they would at least save some time.
...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black wind howled as it rushed out of the city.
Yang Yuhu embodying the white light followed closely, while Chu Liang's sword aura continuously trailed behind.
In the blink of an eye, all of them had moved a hundred li.
When the shadowy figure, moving with the swiftness of the wind, realized they couldn't shake off their pursuers and that the men of Misty Waters City would soon arrive, they turned back and hovered in mid-air.
This gust of black wind was really a middle-aged man with a broad face and some beard. His gaze looked cold and sinister. As soon as he stopped, he raised his hand!
Yang Yuhu was swiftly chasing, but he quickly stopped in his tracks, making a sharp sound in the air.
Swoosh—
The middle-aged man lifted the vendor with his left hand and conjured a bone pike out of thin air, which he hurled towards Yang Yuhu with his right hand.
The spear approached in an instant, creating this sonic boom. Yet, Yang Yuhu remained fearless in the face of danger. With hands forming seals, a stream of qi surged out from behind him, abruptly transforming into a dense fog tiger head. With jaws wide open, it engulfed the bone pike!
Screech!
The tiger head swallowed the spear with a screeching sound. It wasn't at a disadvantage at all!
There was something extraordinary about this fog. Instead of dissipating after swallowing the spear, it materialized into something harder than gold or iron. It actually displayed the immense strength of a true dragon and tiger.
"Immortal Fog of Mirage Mountain! You are from the Penglai Supreme Sect!" exclaimed the middle-aged man.
But in this brief pause, Chu Liang's sword energy had already arrived.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man grimaced. He realized that unless he dealt with these two individuals, he would not be able to escape today. He couldn't care less about which immortal sects these disciples belonged to! He simply knew that he must act decisively!
His right hand trembled, and the veins on his wrist ruptured, causing a splatter of bloody mist.
"Roar—"
A black dragon emerged from the bloody mist and charged forward, smashing the white tiger immortal mist with a single strike!
Boom—
Yang Yuhu, sensing the danger, swiftly dropped to the ground, evading the black dragon's subsequent attack. However, hundreds of bone spears immediately shot up from beneath his feet!
The bone spears gleamed with a white-golden light so bright that it seemed as though the edges were imbued with invincibility.
"Hah!" Yang Yuhu shouted, his fingers swiftly forming a series of hand seals. Suddenly, two black vines shot out from under his feet, wrapping around his body and forming an armor of vines.
Clang clang clang—
The sharp bones stabbed against the vine armor but were blocked from penetrating deeper. Yet, the heavy impact still caused Yang Yuhu's qi and blood to surge violently.
Just then, the black dragon above his head transformed, bursting into flames and morphing into a dark green fire dragon!
Boom—
While the vine armor was impervious to sharpness, it was particularly vulnerable to fire. The middle-aged man's cultivation level surpassed that of Yang Yuhu, and his divine abilities were equally formidable. It was evident that he intended to exploit this vulnerability by using the fire dragon to break through Yang Yuhu's vine armor!
In the brief span of a finger snap, both sides had already engaged in several rounds of divine techniques. At the critical moment when Yang Yuhu was in imminent danger, Chu Liang sprang into action!
He employed no flashy divine techniques. With a simple lift of his hand, he unleashed a Talismanic Sword Seal of five wind characters and five lightning characters! However, he used the Crimson Executioner!
Rumble~
The blood-stained aura emanating from the middle-aged man was even stronger than that of the diabolical cultivator at the third realm, intensifying the rage of the Crimson Executioner even more fiercely.
"Roar—"
The ten-character talismanic seal, unleashed at random, intertwined, giving rise to a violent storm of sword qi that swept through the surroundings.
The middle-aged man was shocked beyond measure at the sight, utterly bewildered as to how a disciple who seemed to be only at the beginning stage of the fourth realm could unleash such a powerful sword strike!
Whose disciple was this?
In the moment of life or death, with no time to ponder further, the whites of his eyes turned bloodshot, reddening with intensity. With a loud shout, he exclaimed, "Ahhhh!"
Boom—
The storm of sword qi instantly engulfed his figure, finally subsiding after a long while.
Simultaneously, the fire dragon and bone spears he had summoned disappeared. Yang Yuhu broke free and landed, but he didn't relax; instead, he looked up and shouted to Chu Liang, "Be careful! It's the Sacrificial Substitute!"
Hearing this, Chu Liang was just about to be on guard when a roaring sound came from above.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, as if a giant, overturned pot had slammed down on them!
Boom—
This was the immortal art known as the Sacrificial Substitute.
It could have been cast in moments of crisis, causing other living beings to die in one's place. However, those living beings had to have been previously prepared through ritual sacrifice. Those who practiced the Sacrificial Substitute must have carried several substitutes with them.
Chu Liang had used the Crimson Executioner sword so many times, but this was the first time someone had escaped.
But thinking back to when he had used the Crimson Executioner sword to kill experts at the fifth and sixth realms across borders before, he had mostly succeeded by catching them off guard with sudden attacks.
When cultivators of this level were on guard during a fight, even if your sword qi was powerful, the attack might never hit the target.
...
Snap.
In the darkness, a speck of white light sparked to life, casting illumination across the entire space.
If one were to look from outside, they would see a black iron alms bowl, the size of a house, overturned on the ground, trapping both Chu Liang and Yang Yuhu underneath.
The middle-aged man, likely startled by the power unleashed by Chu Liang's Crimson Executioner, feared a direct confrontation. In his apprehension, he abandoned his enchanted artifact and fled.
He fled, but ended up trapping both of them under a massive alms bowl.
Chu Liang stared at Yang Yuhu, uncertain of what to say.
Yang Yuhu stared at Chu Liang and felt really awkward.
Due to Di Nufeng, he had spoken words of hostility toward the disciples of Mount Shu. However, Chu Liang's intervention in the earlier fight, freeing him from the predicament, made him reconsider his previous stance.
In addition, the power that his sword unleashed was too terrifying.
If the diabolical cultivator hadn't mastered the immortal art Sacrificial Substitute, he would not have escaped the fate of being instantly killed.
Was this truly the power that a cultivator at the beginning stage of the Golden Core Realm could display?
It was utterly beyond belief.
As Yang Yuhu reflected on the words he had said, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He even wondered if his elder brother, whom he had always looked up to as a god, could unleash a sword qi of this level when he was at the same age as Chu Liang.
After a prolonged silence, it was Yang Yuhu who finally spoke up.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "I admit that I was somewhat disrespectful..."
