The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 245 - 244: Both Women and Old Men Are Not to Be Messed With
Unlike Lin Yu, who charged directly into the enemy’s ranks, Dongfang Hongyue acted with more caution.
For Upper Realm Cultivators, killing lower-level cultivators was as simple as eating and drinking, but she also took notice of Wutulu and others.
Not only that, but there was also the leader Huyan Jue.
These were all Upper Realm Experts, and the enemy’s strength was not weak. Meeting on the battlefield, the reason to match king against king was to avoid Upper Realm Experts slaughtering non-Upper Realm cultivators, which would render the war meaningless if both sides were just exchanging limits.
In the end, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, in a battle between two armies, the generals would fight first, followed by the soldiers.
If the general is defeated, the battle is lost.
But Lin Yu thought the Grassland People had broken the rules, slaughtering too many innocent civilians, his heart filled with anger, and having suppressed the urge to kill for half the night, where would he care about these rules? He plunged directly into the enemy ranks, wreaking havoc.
Dongfang Hongyue, wary that the enemy might try the same tactic, let out a battle cry to charge, and immediately began to fight chaotically, while she went directly to the forefront of Wutulu and others, issuing a direct challenge.
"Is there no one left in the Central Plains, sending two women and an old man? If so, just willingly give up that fertile land; why resist so stubbornly?"
Wutulu could speak the Central Plains language. Since it was a taunt, of course, he wanted the other side to understand. Then, he threw a fierce punch at Dongfang Hongyue; the Grassland People’s cultivation was different from the Central Plains. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
In the Central Plains, cultivation emphasized the mind over the body. Although there were sects specializing in physical training, none were very strong. Even in Shenxiao Sect, while there were methods for physical cultivation, most people still focused on Thunder Law, looking down on physical strengthening.
But the Grasslands were different. They primarily cultivated their bodies, believing that the body was the best weapon.
Their comprehension of the Great Dao naturally fell far short of the Central Plains, but they were tough, durable, and their offensive power was not weak.
Wutulu ranked in the top five among the Eighteen Warriors, naturally not to be underestimated, but his opponent was Dongfang Hongyue.
A Demon Lord with exceptional agility, when he punched, Dongfang Hongyue was already behind him, her hand as white as jade instantly filled with a blood color.
This was her secret technique, the Crimson Flame Blood Hand.
Injecting fiery poison into the body, its lethality was astonishing.
Dongfang Hongyue didn’t use spells precisely because she knew the characteristics of the Grassland People, tough and durable, and the Snow Mountain Divine Church’s Divine Arts made them impervious to cold and heat. Moreover, the broad range of spell powers was not focused enough. In contrast, the Crimson Flame Blood Hand, with all its power concentrated in the palm of the hand, could cause even the durable Wutulu to cough up blood with a single strike.
In a moment of crisis, Wutulu also reacted, hastily forming a shield.
Dongfang Hongyue’s palm struck his back, sending Wutulu flying and crashing into the ground face-first.
Although he looked a mess, he was not injured, causing Dongfang Hongyue to secretly sigh in regret.
The enemy’s body-protecting spell was miraculous; that strike only sent him flying without embedding the fiery poison.
Despite that, Wutulu was still quite shaken.
Dongfang Hongyue sneered, "Is this all you’ve got, yet you dare to look down on women?"
Huyan Jue, seeing this woman land a blow that put the fifth-ranked warrior at a disadvantage, couldn’t help but sense trouble.
Fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers and weren’t necessarily afraid of them.
"Everyone, attack together!"
Huyan Jue called the other four warriors to attack Dongfang Hongyue, but in the blink of an eye, Dongfang Hongyue had turned into a fireball and disappeared, only to reappear several yards away, a golden-red lotus appearing in her hand, beautiful and bewitching.
The surrounding Spiritual Power started to converge towards Dongfang Hongyue, clearly signaling the preparation of a powerful move.
Actually, Dongfang Hongyue’s spellcasting was also quick.
Fire, that was the Heavenly Dao Law she had comprehended. Previously in battles, she rarely used such high-level power, not to mention, it had been a long time since she had truly fought someone, let alone a battle where lives were at stake.
Even when faced with assassination attempts, she handled them lightly, aiming to fish for the assailants.
Before she could even unleash her killing move, the "fish" had already fled.
But this time was different; these Grassland People wouldn’t run away.
Throwing the Honglian in her hand, the palm-sized Fire Lotus rapidly expanded, threatening to envelop all the enemies within it.
Unwilling to accept this, Wutulu roared, "Snow Mountain Divine Fist!"
The power of the great snow concentrated in his fist, and with one punch, he shattered the Fire Lotus, but sparks flew everywhere, igniting everything around.
Wutulu vented the anger from being blown away earlier, howling, "This is the power of a man!"
"Youngster, dare you take on my sword!"
"What is there to fear!"
Hearing the old man’s words, Wutulu said disdainfully.
You see, this is the might of the Grassland Warriors, people from the Central Plains only dare to fight in rotations!
"This sword is called ’Sword Shattering the Starry Sky,’ brace yourself!"
Wutulu looked at Yuquan with a face full of disdain—Central Plains people really liked to give things flashy names, ’Sword Shattering the Starry Sky’?
So exaggerated!
However, the next second, Wutulu couldn’t laugh.
In his eyes, he saw the stars falling upon Yuquan’s sword, their light converging in a single strike, and then, that strike transformed into a long rainbow, instantly appearing before his eyes.
The sword pierced through his chest, and Wutulu’s face was one of shock.
He couldn’t block it; he had quietly gathered the Snow Mountain Divine Arts, yet it shattered in an instant.
"Lord Wutulu!"
Huyan Jue was immediately alarmed.
Damn, the fifth-ranked warrior of the Grassland, just making an appearance and he’s already down?
Is this old Taoist that fierce?
However, the next second, they saw Wutulu take out a white flower petal and started chewing it.
His breath, which was as thin as a thread, now instantly restored.
"I’m fine, it’s just an old Taoist, nothing to fear!"
On the surface, Wutulu was calm like an old dog, but inside he was panicking.
He was so close to dying on the spot.
The only reason he didn’t die was because before descending the mountain, the Shaman-Priest told him he faced a blood disaster, giving him a piece of Snow Lotus Petal.
This petal, once eaten, could heal any wound instantly, no matter how severe.
Are people from the Central Plains really this fierce?
Seeing him unharmed, Yuquan was also baffled.
He had learned from his last battle with Dongfang Hongyue; this time, he started with his powerful move.
But the strike, which seemed immensely powerful, apparently caused no harm?
This is not scientific!
Wutulu stabilized his injuries, feeling even more furious.
He had descended the mountain to achieve great things, but just at the encounter with an enemy, he had to use his lifesaving item; this time, someone had to pay the price.
"Brothers, attack with me!"
They outnumbered their enemies after all. Wutulu had been too arrogant before, not allowing others to intervene, merely acting as a support, but now a swift conclusion was necessary.
They must swiftly take down these people!
Wutulu charged at Yuquan, while Huyan Jue confronted Dongfang Hongyue, and the remaining two warriors went to assist the two brothers who were already engaging Lin Yu.
They were originally meant to support either Huyan Jue or Wutulu, but seeing those two struggling to hold on against Lin Yu, they had to go there first.
Wutulu had also been focusing on Dongfang Hongyue and Yuquan until then, and only now did he realize that his two subordinates had not come to his aid; he saw that there was an intense 1V2 happening, no, it had become 1V4 now...
