NOVEL NEXT Chapter 0699 Old Baldy, Are You Leaving or Not?
"Amitabha, this old monk had already promised to save this young benefactor's life; how could I easily withdraw?"
Lu Ling, appearing as a saintly monk, felt somewhat frustrated and angry inside. He, a prominent member of the Blood Skull Clan, had killed countless beings and drunk much blood, yet he found himself saying such words.
Hearing this, He Yunwang was infuriated, having never encountered such an annoying monk before.
Chen Yu couldn't help but respect the monk deeply. The monk, a stranger to him, was reluctant to leave at such a critical moment. It seemed he truly was a virtuous monk.
"Master, you should leave first. This is my own matter," urged Chen Yu.
Although there were three more enemies, two of them were in the Half-step Sky Sea Realm and not a concern.
The only ones who posed a real threat to Chen Yu were the Purple-clothed Demon He Yunwang and Senior Sister Lu from the Heavenly Jade Sect, whose appearance was plain.
Chen Yu, using all his techniques, believed these two couldn't trouble him.
"If this poor monk were to leave, the benefactor would definitely die at their hands."
Lu Ling said with a feigned compassionate expression, ending with a plea, "I invite you all to lay down your butcher knives and turn back from the brink."
"This old bald donkey, are you full and free, meddling in other's affairs like this?"
He Yunwang's eyes bulged and veins on his forehead popped out as his fearsome demonic power burst forth, alarming everyone around.
He was indeed infuriated by the old monk, wishing to tear him to shreds.
Lu Ling gave He Yunwang a glance, suppressing his anger, and cursed inwardly, "I'll remember you. Next time I need a vessel, I'll use your body."
Though his cultivation was damaged, he was still firmly in the Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm. With the Blood Skull Clan's methods, killing He Yunwang wouldn't be difficult.
"Attack together!"
He Yunwang commanded, not wanting to waste more words on the old monk.
Whether or not he could kill the old monk or Chen Yu today, he needed to vent his displeasure and frustration.
The three disciples from the Heavenly Jade Sect simply wanted Chen Yu dead.
They were avenging their fellow disciple Hanshan, whom Chen Yu had killed first, which was both righteous and reasonable.
Recently, the Heavenly Feather Peak line of the Heavenly Jade Sect had secretly announced a reward; those who killed Chen Yu would receive a substantial reward and become a disciple of an elder.
"Benefactor, leave this person to me. You don't need to worry."
Lu Ling immediately stepped forward, also eager to give He Yunwang a beating.
If only this young man had the sense to leave earlier.
Lu Ling could have gotten close to Chen Yu, then found an opportunity to control him or make him swallow a blood pill he had concocted.
To his frustration, Lu Ling blamed all of this on He Yunwang.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a powerful burst of physical strength erupted from the old monk's body. His body radiated a golden light, illuminating all directions, and golden Buddhist scriptures fluttered around him, making him resemble a majestic Buddha.
Lu Ling could only manifest some abilities of this body; it was best not to expose Blood Race methods, to avoid detection.
Boom!
Lu Ling, transformed into a golden Buddha, unleashed a massive golden buddha palm that seemed to dispel evil and suppress ghosts.
He Yunwang, undeterred and loathing the meddling of the old monk deep in his bones, formed his hand into a claw and violently ripped.
Hiss—
Ten vicious streaks of purple light rapidly expanded and surged forward.
Although the old monk's cultivation technique held the advantage, Lu Ling was giving his all, demonstrating the ability to challenge beyond his level.
As they clashed, the fight was evenly matched.
"This guy was holding back when he fought Chen Yu," Lu Ling cursed inwardly.
He Yunwang indeed had concealed some of his strength and was ready to go all out against Chen Yu when the old monk suddenly interjected and disrupted the situation.
He had no particular grudge against Chen Yu, but now his hatred toward the old monk was deeper, and he struck with all his might.
This shattered Lu Ling's dream of annihilating He Yunwang without revealing the true prowess of the Blood Skull Clan.
As for Chen Yu dealing with Senior Sister Lu and the two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples, it was much easier and rather unexciting.
In fact, Chen Yu was more looking forward to a battle with talents like He Yunwang from the "Celestial Prodigy Board," possibly even taking over his ranking.
However, he felt it was impolite to refuse help from a saintly monk.
Pong!
Chen Yu swung a punch, shattering the incoming brilliant sword light.
As for the attacks from the other two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples, they hit Chen Yu, sparking a burst of bright fiery specks with occasionally a shallow mark that vanished instantly.
"How is this possible? Our attacks can't hurt him at all!"
The two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples were dumbfounded. It felt like a hammer had struck their hearts, severely impacting their spirits.
They had never encountered such a situation within their realm.
Chen Yu mostly ignored their attacks, and yet they could not harm him at all, leaving them unable to face themselves, ashamed and embarrassed.
Boom!
Demonic Qi surged around Chen Yu, expanding to a radius of a hundred paces; he then punched, sending a giant black Demon Fist that carried the oppressive might of the demonic path thundering forward.
"Very strong!"
Senior Sister Lu's mind was assaulted by the demonic intent, momentarily dazzled before she hastily gathered herself and responded.
Spatial Realm Power connected heaven and earth within a hundred paces, glittering with golden light, as if everything had been coated with a layer of gold plating.
Senior Sister Lu raised her sword, which burst forth with a golden brilliance stretching over ten paces, incredibly sharp, and she swung it out fiercely.
Whoosh!
A brilliant golden sword light, dragging a layer of golden shadows, slashed across the sky, cleaving everything in the void in half.
Roar!
The golden sword light cut into Chen Yu's Demon Fist but its imposing force remained unchanged, releasing completely and turning into an exploding demonic cloud, pulverizing the golden sword light.
The Spatial Realm Power around Senior Sister Lu was devastated, more than half of it destroyed.
She immediately retreated some distance, already realizing there was a gap between her and Chen Yu and that she could not kill him.
At the same time, she was shocked. How could Chen Yu's strength be so terrifying? He was an absolute monster.
Just then,
In the golden world before her, a blood-red light point flickered and rapidly expanded.
"Not good!"
Senior Sister Lu sensed an imminent crisis and instantly dodged while simultaneously activating her True Essence Protection Shield.
Puff!
A massive Blood Flame Light Column instantly penetrated the True Essence Protection Shield and struck Senior Sister Lu's abdomen.
Boom!
Senior Sister Lu was wearing High-Grade Inner Armor, so the Yangming Sword Point didn't pierce through her, but instead sent her flying dozens of feet away.
Some of the sword's power penetrated the inner armor and injured her internally.
"Damn it, such a powerful strike!"
Senior Sister Lu was terrified. If that strike had hit another part, it would have been more than just a minor injury.
At this moment, she was already thinking of retreating.
Chen Yu pressed his advantage, not planning to let these Heavenly Jade Sect disciples go.
However, just then,
Swoosh!
Another figure flew from afar, a tall man with a small bunch of facial hair, not young in age.
"Senior Fan."
Senior Sister Lu was overjoyed to see who had arrived.
"Senior Fan, save us. Chen Yu wants to kill us."
The other two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples also cried out for help.
Chen Yu's expression darkened slightly, cursing inwardly.
When Yan Hanshan fled earlier, he had signaled to nearby Heavenly Jade Sect disciples. Senior Sister Lu was the first to arrive, and this Senior Fan was a latecomer.
Luckily, Chen Yu had managed to kill Yan Hanshan first; otherwise, it would have been more troublesome to kill him later.
However, the current situation was still not favorable. Senior Fan's strength was extraordinary, at the Peak of the Early-Stage Sky Sea Realm, comparable to an old monk.
"Chen Yu, you've got some nerve, daring to strike at my Heavenly Jade Sect people."
Senior Fan huffed, and an intense Sword Intent burst out, soaring into the sky. He, like a drawn sword, charged at Chen Yu.
Faced with such a situation, Chen Yu remained calm.
He decided to launch a swift and deadly assault on the three Heavenly Jade Sect members before Senior Fan could intervene.
His figure flickered, the space around him shimmering with light and distorting, a manifestation of the Spatial Realm Power.
Chen Yu instantly executed the first and second styles of the Xuankong Palm, targeting the two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples.
Mastering the Spatial Realm, Chen Yu was invincible among his peers. The mere Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples couldn't possibly withstand him.
Thus, Chen Yu didn't pay them any more attention and drew out the Demon Flood Dragon Sword, his physical strength fully unleashed as he hurled it.
Boom!
The Demon Flood Dragon Sword tore through the air, stirring up black currents, like a ferocious black dragon emitting a piercing shriek, charging toward Senior Sister Lu.
Under the amplification of the Spatial Realm Power, the speed of the Demon Flood Dragon Sword was incredibly fast.
Boom!
As the Demon Flood Dragon Sword descended, Senior Sister Lu crossed her sword, releasing a vast amount of True Yuan to fend off Chen Yu's strike.
Chen Yu's formidable force, transmitted through the Demon Sword, pushed Senior Sister Lu swiftly backward.
Subsequently, the explosive nature of the Demon Flood Dragon Sword came into effect, with a series of explosions enveloping Senior Sister Lu.
Boom!
Senior Sister Lu then plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing onto a spot on Burning Sun Mountain.
Meanwhile, moments earlier, the two Half-step Sky Sea Realm disciples were hit by the Spatial Palm Technique and fell down Burning Sun Mountain, their fates unknown.
...
Elsewhere, the Purple-clothed Demon He Yunwang saw another Heavenly Jade Sect disciple arrive and immediately grinned widely.
"Ha ha ha, another helper has arrived!"
"Old baldy, are you rolling out or not?"
He Yunwang laughed and pressed hard.
At this point, there were five of them on their side, three of them in the Sky Sea Realm, including two in the Half-step Sky Sea Realm.
He didn't believe this old monk would still stubbornly refuse to leave.
Lu Ling was also in a dilemma, cursing Chen Yu several times in his mind: "You broom star, wherever you go, enemies abound. Why do you have so many enemies? I just wanted to get close to you, and it ends up like this…"
But, the mission was critical. If he couldn't rescue the Young Ancestor, the Blood Race wouldn't let him off!
"I won't leave… Benefactor, lay down your butcher knife, and turn back to the shore!"
Lu Ling had to adopt his monk façade, showing a color of determination and resolve.
"You... you damn baldy, screw you and your whole family!"
He Yunwang, fuming, lost his mind and blurted out curses.
Was this old monk out of his mind? To save a stranger, he was risking his own life.
Right after he finished cursing, He Yunwang noticed significant commotion around them.
Taking a closer look, Chen Yu had instantly sent flying two Half-step Sky Seas, launching a deadly strike against Senior Sister Lu.
Midway up the mountain, Senior Sister Lu struggled to stand, her body showing fresh wounds, and a black giant sword embedded in her shoulder, her robe soaked with blood, red blood splattering around.
Thump!
She had just stood up when her face turned red and then pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, collapsing again.
He Yunwang was shocked, eyes fixated as he noticed in the deep crater where Senior Sister Lu lay, a corner of a crystal-clear red jade emerged, reflecting a blazing red glow.
