Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 908 - 904: Staying Behind
But he knew, this red-clad woman was definitely not human, she was a top-tier strong figure among the demon clan.
He thought to himself, this time luck was not on his side, running into such a master as soon as he emerged.
The fact that the flying knife and Super Sense hadn’t detected her earlier meant she wasn’t there before, but came over upon hearing the commotion.
After arriving, she didn’t rush to take action, instead, she hid herself and observed.
It was obvious she wanted to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of his group before making a move.
In her eyes, the lives of those demon clan masters weren’t that important, watching them die without intervening.
Powerful, cold, mysterious.
Who on earth was this red-clad woman?
The demon clan also had sects, like Tianma Mountain, Black Wind Cave, and Star-picking Cliff.
Which sect did this red-clad woman belong to?
While using Super Sensing Illumination on the red-clad woman, he also illuminated the surrounding situation.
Fu Zheng appeared and disappeared, appearing behind them, stealthily brandishing a sword, swift as lightning.
The Moon Soul Sword Scripture not only rendered one invisible, but its speed was extraordinarily fast, its power astonishing.
If not for the Moon Soul Sword Scripture, the four of them would have already been heavily injured and fallen.
Under the display of the Moon Soul Sword Scripture, the situation reversed, after six demon clan masters died, the remaining six could no longer suppress them, instead, they were suppressed by them.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Xiao Zheng, go assist somewhere else first, back left!"
"Yes." Fu Zheng responded, her figure flickered, already reaching afar, and her voice was heard from afar: "Sister Lu, I’m going ahead."
Lu Qingyuan wielded her sword while dealing with six brawny men, concentrating on sensing the Sword Intent of the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique.
An invisible force was binding her, weakening her, but the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique could break through this binding, nullifying it.
As long as her realm was sufficient, she could eliminate this binding and weakening force.
The higher the realm, the more could be eliminated.
So while she dealt with their fierce attacks, she was also comprehending the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique.
In desperate straits, her mind was highly concentrated, her senses sharpened, her mind exceptionally agile and quick.
Thus, her understanding of the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique deepened rapidly, quickly growing stronger.
When Chu Zhiyuan retracted his palm, suddenly a few figures shot towards the woman in red, Lu Qingyuan’s swordsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds, already capable of single-handedly holding off six brawny men.
Two injured masters from the Phoenix Sword Sect took the opportunity to catch their breath, swallowing a Spirit Pill to heal their injuries.
Under the Super Sensing Illumination, Fu Zheng appeared behind a group of brawny men, sword light rippling, lightly sweeping past a brawny man’s neck, sending his head rolling.
Then vanished, reappearing behind another brawny man, the sword light like water waves.
She found her Moon Soul Sword Scripture growing more fluent and skillful, its power stronger.
She felt an irrepressible excitement, her sword point taking heads without tension or discomfort, but rather with extreme pleasure.
She wielded her sword while secretly marveling.
No wonder Your Highness said she would become bloodthirsty, this Moon Soul Sword Scripture indeed turned killing into a delightful act, easy to become addicted to.
Chu Zhiyuan was continually pondering whether to use the Spiritual Treasure.
But the current task was to leave, to lead everyone out safely.
"Miss Lu, open the portal." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Prepare to leave."
"Yes." Lu Qingyuan responded.
Her longsword suddenly slowed, but the power around the sword grew stronger.
The power of the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique was rapidly erasing the power of the six brawny men, making them slow. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Lu Qingyuan wielded the sword with one hand, while her other hand began tracing an arc.
She originally thought it would take some effort and time.
Unexpectedly, in this state, opening the portal was extremely easy.
In just a moment, a black dot appeared, quickly expanding into a light gate.
Chu Zhiyuan shouted: "Master Zhuang, leave quickly!"
Zhuang Juyue, leading everyone in slaughter from afar, responded.
The sword light she wielded suddenly brightened, dazzling like red clouds, covering the sky and earth.
The brawny men who had been in the upper hand immediately let out miserable cries and roars.
The sword light sliced their bodies, even their extremely tough flesh couldn’t withstand it.
In the blink of an eye, they became bloody, though not yet dead, they were already stiff and slow.
Severely injured in the waist, legs, and shoulders, their strong life force kept them from dying, but they were powerless to exert strength.
They were at the mercy of others.
Chu Zhiyuan took another step forward, intending to push against the red-clad woman.
"Ha!" The red-clad woman chuckled, rooted like ice, unmoving.
Her delicate and exquisite jade palm contained vast power, immense might, unshakeable.
"Off you go!"
Chu Zhiyuan hummed, the power around him burst forth, firmly stepping forward.
The Heavenly Dragon Bloodline surged, power flowed from his whole body in an instant, forming a violent force.
The red-clad woman’s feet slid back a step, her left palm lightly swiped towards Chu Zhiyuan’s chest.
Chu Zhiyuan met it with his right palm.
"Bang!"
A violent force surged again.
Their clothes fluttered wildly as if about to tear away.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Currently, his strength was immense; he didn’t even know how strong he truly was, never having exerted his full force before.
Today, he realized, there was always a higher mountain, the delicate beauty had such formidable strength, matching his own.
He took a step forward, not feeling victorious, as an immense force from the opponent pushed him back.
He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zheng, go ahead!"
Fu Zheng said: "Your Highness, I..."
"Stop babbling, go!" Chu Zhiyuan grunted: "Stay away!"
Though Fu Zheng’s cultivation was strong, she was far inferior to the red-clad woman, getting close might result in getting seriously hurt.
Chu Zhiyuan continued: "Master Zhuang, hurry up!"
Zhuang Juyue said: "Prince Consort, do you need help?"
Groups of brawny men were pouring up the mountain, while Chu Zhiyuan was still entangled by the red-clad woman.
She sensed the situation was dire.
If Chu Zhiyuan stayed behind, he might fall into a trap and perish.
Chu Zhiyuan said deeply: "Go, go!"
"Yes." Zhuang Juyue responded quickly.
She waved a hand: "Go quickly!"
Fu Zheng didn’t rush to leave, staying behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Qingyuan, watching one master after another disappear into the light gate.
They moved quickly, diving into the light gate before the distant brawny men could rush over and disappearing.
Chu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zheng, Miss Lu, you two go as well."
"Prince Consort..." Lu Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Go quickly."
It was apparent from Chu Zhiyuan’s condition that he was unable to activate the portal.
To escape meant diving into that portal.
The red-clad woman chuckled lightly: "Prince Consort, hmm, wouldn’t you be the Twelfth Prince Consort of the Phoenix Dynasty?"
Chu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Indeed."
Had his reputation grown so large?
"I was planning to find you, didn’t expect you to deliver yourself." The red-clad woman smiled brightly: "This saves a lot of trouble."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "You guys go, I’ll follow shortly!"
"But..." Lu Qingyuan hesitated.
Judging from Chu Zhiyuan’s situation didn’t look promising, the red-clad woman seemed too relaxed, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Go quickly!" Chu Zhiyuan hummed.
Fu Zheng tugged Lu Qingyuan: "Sister Lu, let’s go, Your Highness will be fine!"
She had absolute confidence in Chu Zhiyuan, believing this couldn’t trouble him.
As long as they, the burdens, left first, he could leave easily.
Lu Qingyuan gritted her teeth, nodded.
The two women finally dived into the light gate, the gate shrank into a black dot, then disappeared.
"Interesting!" The red-clad woman laughed: "Is it some kind of Strange Treasure?"
"Nothing special," Chu Zhiyuan said: "The demon clan’s Demon Artifacts can equally break open the Grotto Heaven."
"Twelfth Prince Consort." The red-clad woman shook her head: "You can’t escape."
Her forehead suddenly lit up, like a diamond emerging from her brow.
