Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 587 - 564: Battle of Grandmasters

"Holy crap, what did I just see!"

"Blocking a Grandmaster’s full-force strike with just the body? Is this even human!"

"Who is this person? Why do they look so unfamiliar?"

Originally, the people of the martial world in the Central Plains were already in despair.

With the death of the Grandmaster, none of them would have a good end.

Even seeing someone standing in front of the Passionate Young Master with their body, they only thought it courageous, but irrelevant to the grand scheme, and that not even a complete corpse would remain, dying a glorious death.

Never in a million years did they expect someone could withstand National Master Mu Yun’s all-out strike with just their body and appear unscathed.

"Brother Liu!!"

The most shocked one in the scene was Wang Yukai himself.

Everything that happened before flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, he understood why Lou Yi made him pretend to be a disciple of the Grandmaster to lure the National Master of Wanma Country.

Because he was actually the real fisherman, the one who set up the trap!

"Brother Liu truly is omnipotent!!"

What followed was an unparalleled thrill and excitement.

Wang Yukai looked eagerly at Lou Yi, hoping he could overturn the situation and defeat Mu Yun.

"Amitabha, it seems there is a second Grandmaster in the Central Plains martial world." The abbot of Yun Kong Temple joined his hands together, smiling with satisfaction.

"Could this Grandmaster be the one behind Wang Yukai?" Sect Leader Yu of Haoran Sect was somewhat uncertain.

"Perhaps we are saved!" Valley Master Lin of Wen Xin Valley said happily.

"Let’s see more; he may not be able to win against Mu Yun." Manor Master Leng of Ba Jian Manor, however, shook his head pessimistically.

But no matter what, after Lou Yi appeared, new hope ignited in the hearts of the Central Plains martial artists.

On the field.

National Master Mu Yun was also staring intently at this sudden strong foe, body tense, eyes shining with golden light, seemingly scanning and probing Lou Yi continuously.

Soon, his expression relaxed, and he laughed, "You are not a Grandmaster!"

"Correct." Lou Yi nodded, "Not being a Grandmaster doesn’t mean I can’t kill you."

"Youngster, you probably don’t know just how great the gap is between a Grandmaster and ordinary people," Mu Yun’s face was cold, his eyes carried a god-like arrogance.

"This entire space will heed my command. I don’t even need to lift a finger, and you’ll find it impossible to take a step."

The voice had barely dropped.

’Boom!’

Lou Yi could feel the surrounding void suddenly pressing down on him, as if an invisible enormous force from the outside world was fully compressing this space.

The pressure increased dramatically, reaching an exaggerated level in an instant, the surrounding air began to burn rapidly in some places, while others turned into flowing liquid.

The light around him seemed to warp, and the hard ground beneath his feet sank like rubber mud, forming a huge bowl bottom.

’Crack, crack, crack!’

His bones emitted cracking sounds as if buckling under the weight, his skin began to sink inward, breathing became difficult, and his vision turned dark.

Feeling the changes in the surroundings, Lou Yi furrowed his brow.

The Grandmaster’s abilities were even more terrifying than he imagined.

If he were just an ordinary Martial Artist or even a Martial Saint, he might have already been crushed into a meat paste.

However...

"Petrification."

As Lou Yi activated his strongest defense talent, his whole body seemed to be coated with a faint oily sheen, and the compressed physique began to swell visibly to the naked eye.

"Liuli Armor."

Then, a semi-transparent crimson armor appeared on his surface, shimmering with brilliant light, with numerous extraordinary Daoist rhymes emerging, as if expressing the ultimate truth of the Dao.

"Tenacity."

Out of respect for his opponent, the Talent of Tenacity was also activated.

Any damage Lou Yi receives would be absorbed 80% by talent, only 20% would seep into the body.

After these measures, Lou Yi suddenly felt a lightness throughout his body.

The surrounding space continued to oppress him, but he no longer felt the previous slight difficulty, instead, it was as if a gentle breeze was brushing his face.

"Is that it?"

Lou Yi started walking through the so-called Grandmaster’s domain unhurriedly, even leisurely stretching.

"The ambush you set up before was from behind, right? You do have some skill.

But did you think I was going all out just now?" Mu Yun saw this, chuckled, then coldly shouted, "Seeing a Grandmaster, yet you do not quickly give up resistance!"

In the next moment, Mu Yun’s voice echoed from every corner of the space around Lou Yi, surging malicious intent flooding in.

"Quickly give up resistance!"

"Quickly give up resistance!"

"Give up resistance! Resistance! Resistance!"

"Resist, resist, resist, resist!"

Just like a hundred bells ringing at once next to Lou Yi’s ears, dizzying him, as if his head was about to explode.

’Screech!’

Lou Yi operated the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique, an eagle rapidly circling in his mind, keeping his spirit highly concentrated, driving out various negative states.

Seeing Lou Yi break through his mental attack again, a trace of surprise flashed in Mu Yun’s eyes.

This young man before him, clearly not a Grandmaster, yet capable of preserving himself under the Grandmaster’s domain, how was this possible?

’The Grandmaster’s domain is indeed extraordinary.’

Through previous observation and personal experience now, Lou Yi gained a deeper understanding of the Grandmaster’s strength.

The so-called Grandmaster’s domain should be the manipulation of the surrounding void for oneself, enhancing one’s strength while weakening the opponent’s, indeed impressive.

Facing any opponent below the Grandmaster, no matter how many there are, they are unafraid, even capable of overwhelming them.

Although not knowing how this is accomplished.

But the celestial forces the Grandmaster manipulates have a certain limit, not reaching infinity.

Thus, when one’s brute strength reaches a certain level, they can face down the suppression without fear, and forcefully break it!

Thinking this, a sharp light flashed in Lou Yi’s eyes.

Only taking blows without returning them is never his style.

’Whoosh!’

He suddenly stomped the ground, cracking it, forcibly breaking through the space’s suppression and constraint, shooting upwards like a rocket.

Flying towards Mu Yun, while throwing a fierce punch.

"Stirring Tide."

Ripples of translucent red energy tides broke through the constraints of the world before him, surging towards Mu Yun like a ceaseless river, aiming to completely submerge him.

"Hmm?"

Mu Yun dared not be careless, and with a swing of his hand, a large amount of inner strength broke through the surface, melding into the space ahead.

And under the augmentation of the surrounding space, transformed into flickering golden light shadows, like a boiling sea of fire, indiscriminately rushing forward.

The energy river and fire sea collided in an instant, reacting violently as water and fire are incompatible.

One could hear earth-shattering explosions ringing.

The red energy vaporized into nothingness under fire, while golden flames were submerged by the energy wave, and at times they matched evenly but burst a large amount of white airflow...

The sky before everyone’s eyes was filled with red, gold, and white, leaving no sight of anything else.

And Lou Yi and National Master Mu Yun’s figures were also engulfed in this chaotic scene.

"Can this young brother win?"

"He must win!"

Beneath, the people of the Central Plains martial world didn’t dare blink, watching intently at the sky before them, praying in their hearts for Lou Yi, hoping he could create a miracle.
