Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 364 - 362: The Two Guild Presidents Arrive in Haste—Fire Refining Demon Falls?! How Is That Possible!
Though Ren Congzhou was at the same level as his opponent, in front of this black-robed man, he had hardly any power to resist and was being completely suppressed throughout the entire fight.
Ren Congzhou had a premonition that if the fight continued, he would surely fall here tonight!
"Friend, how about we cease this tonight?"
After narrowly dodging an attack from the black-robed man, Ren Congzhou immediately spoke, "I was in the wrong tonight. I will come to apologize another day!"
Seeing that the black-robed man was unmoved, Ren Congzhou quickly added, "Your companion is only a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer!"
"If you don’t go help him now... She’s already severely injured and is probably in mortal danger!"
"The Fire Refining Demon is no pushover. He’s a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer, stronger than me... Think it through."
After saying those words, the black-robed man indeed slowed down his frenzied attack, seemingly hesitating whether to disengage and rush to the other battlefield for support.
Ren Congzhou, noticing this, felt a slight joy in his heart, as if there was a glimmer of hope!
If such a powerful Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer were to go over...
The one at a disadvantage would be the Fire Refining Demon!
But... what did this have to do with him? It’s not him who would die!
Just as hope bloomed in Ren Congzhou’s heart, a silhouette tore through the night sky, rapidly approaching. As the figure became clear, Ren Congzhou’s pupils contracted sharply!
The newcomer... was the second on the East Cang List, whom they had previously besieged!
"Why is he here?!"
At this moment, shouldn’t he be locked in a fierce and unresolved battle with the Fire Refining Demon? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Moreover, he should most likely be completely suppressed by the Fire Refining Demon by now!
A Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer like the Fire Refining Demon is not to be trifled with.
Ren Congzhou knew that the Fire Refining Demon also had a Lower Grade Divine Technique at his disposal, which could decisively tilt the outcome once used.
"You’ve come over... where is the Fire Refining Demon?!" Ren Congzhou asked, forcing down his shock moments later.
"You mean that old guy? Dead," Lu Ye said indifferently.
Dead?!
How is that possible?!
With the Fire Refining Demon’s power... him giving up and running would have seemed more plausible!
There are less than a handful in the Eastern Territory who can kill the Fire Refining Demon, perhaps only three or four, and they are all in the top five of the Eastern Territory!
At this moment, Ren Congzhou didn’t have the mental fortitude to think too deeply about it. Whether the Fire Refining Elder ran or not didn’t matter.
In the current situation, with the Fire Demon absent, he didn’t stand a chance against these two all by himself. If he didn’t flee, he would lose his life.
In an instant, Ren Congzhou employed some survival secret technique, aiming to make an escape.
Youluo, who had been paying attention, extended her hand as a faint, dim lotus flower bloomed, pursuing relentlessly!
However, the life-saving secret technique on Ren Congzhou seemed particularly mysterious, and the dim lotus inflicted significant damage upon him.
Yet, half of Ren Congzhou’s body had already slipped into the Illusionary Gate.
"Ah?!"
With a scream, he watched half of his arm being scorched, ignited by the dim flame, seemingly spreading upward.
Ren Congzhou did not have time to think, gritted his teeth, and severed half of his arm! He then slipped through the teleportation gate opened by his secret technique. The Illusionary Gate vanished instantly.
Seeing Youluo intending to pursue further, Lu Ye quickly grabbed her.
"This is an escape secret technique. How would you know where he’s escaped to? Let it be."
"This old dog ran really fast. Give me a few more minutes, and he wouldn’t have escaped," Youluo said angrily upon seeing this.
"It’s okay, he is no longer a threat. Judging by his injuries, he won’t recover in three to five years, and losing half an arm without suitable materials for reconstruction will tremendously degrade his strength," Lu Ye analyzed.
A Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer missing half an arm might take years merely to heal.
And given this time, his own cultivation wouldn’t lag behind.
By then...
Even if he hides under the facade of the Eastern Territory’s top sect, the Celestial Profound Sect, Lu Ye would have no fear of them exercising the sect’s might.
Hence, what’s crucial now is the time to develop peacefully.
Next moment, as Youluo turned around, spotting the multiple damaged areas on Lu Ye’s clothing and, more notably, the blood stains, she was suddenly terrified.
"Are you hurt that badly?!"
"It looks worse than it is; I’m quite alright," Lu Ye said with a slight smile.
Thanks to his fast-healing physique, most of his injuries had nearly healed.
Only the two most grievous wounds were still scabbing over.
Of course, the lost vitality wasn’t easy to recover, which made his face look a bit pale.
"I don’t believe you, so much blood surely means serious injury; let me take a look."
Youluo clearly didn’t believe him, thinking he was downplaying it to avoid worry.
She immediately reached out, intending to pull Lu Ye’s clothes apart to check the injuries.
"In broad daylight... this could be a bit inappropriate," Lu Ye said helplessly upon witnessing this.
"You have a point... alright, I’ll set up a shield." Upon hearing this, Youluo agreed and promptly erected a magical shield.
Lu Ye: "..."
"We should leave this place. The commotion is too huge here; it might attract others. Staying here isn’t wise."
In the next instant, Lu Ye took Youluo and swiftly left the scene.
Just about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after their departure, indeed, two figures hurriedly arrived at the scene.
One of them, Lu Ye would recognize if present—Qian Youming, the President of the Wan Tong Commerce Association, who had decided to leave previously.
For some reason, he had returned.
Beside Qian Youming was a refined middle-aged man.
This person was the President of the Bai Chuan Chamber of Commerce, a chain in Xuanzhou, also a Mortal Realm Grandmaster.
These two had been persuaded by Ruxue to come and take a look.
Unfortunately, by the time they arrived from East Cang City, they found traces of battle extending far and wide.
But there were no people in sight.
Only the surroundings in the night sky seemed to be floating with some mysterious dust.
"Could it be that the young man was eventually no match for the two and was captured?" the Bai Chuan Chamber of Commerce President said, frowning deeply.
Unexpectedly, Qian Youming, who had left first, spoke with a hint of confidence in that young man.
"Old Qian, I think, not necessarily."
"You weren’t here before, so you don’t know how fast that young man is."
"The three of us gave it our all to finally intercept him. From his body technique, I must say, he had some real skill."
