Cultivating Through The Game

Chapter 827 - 418: Biting Off a Piece of Flesh

Recalling the events that just occurred, Lu Yu also felt a shiver of fear in his heart.If it had been his true body that was attacked, he would surely be dead.

Even with a drop of blood left in the Martial World, recovery would take an incredibly long time.

At that time, he would miss the best opportunity to increase his power and face the apocalypse with no way out but death.

The opponent was ruthless, directly attacking in the decisive battle space.

If others found out, the attacker would also face blame.

Of course, in this situation, perhaps those elders wouldn't sacrifice a Vientiane Realm combatant just for Lu Yu.

By then, Lu Yu would be truly dead.

That's why, upon learning his clone was attacked, he hid his true body's presence immediately.

For Lu Yu, this was a stroke of great luck.

If the opponent had chosen to strike earlier, or Lu Yu hadn't chosen to create a hundred clones, he would have had no way out but death.

Lu Yu flew out through the golden sky curtain, quickly scanning the situation on the battlefield, and then rose again towards the opposite golden sky curtain.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the golden sky curtain behind him, and a giant golden hand reached out, as fast as lightning, crushing him before Lu Yu could react.

The giant hand paused for a moment, as if judging whether it had truly killed Lu Yu.

A moment later, the hand disappeared into thin air.

Not far away, a Martial Cultivator at the Tongshen Realm watched the transpired events outside with terror; he did not see clearly who was killed, but he was certain that the killer was a human Vientiane Realm powerhouse.

He cautiously hid his breath, nestling among a group of demons, fearing a sudden hand would appear and crush him to death.

Soon after the golden hand disappeared, a figure appeared at the place where Lu Yu's clone perished, absorbed the remaining power from the dead clone, and quickly left.

The Martial Cultivator hidden among the sea of demons witnessed this scene, raising many questions in his mind.

It was long after the golden hand disappeared that he cautiously left the area, not knowing if they would return.

News began to spread among the Martial Cultivators at the Tongshen Realm.

Li Qiuyang, after slaying a Tongshen Realm demon, felt a slight vibration from the token inside his Storage Ring. He flicked the blood off his sword and took out the token.

Upon checking, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Who is it? How dare they openly murder a human Martial Cultivator?"

Li Qiuyang felt the matter was absurd, that someone would engage in infighting at such a time; truly, they had a death wish.

Suddenly, sensing a commotion nearby, Li Qiuyang turned to see a figure emerging through the golden screen of light.

He took a closer look and realized it was Lu Yu. Just as he was about to approach, he noticed Lu Yu signaling him to stay away.

Before Li Qiuyang understood Lu Yu's intention, he watched, as a golden hand emerged from the golden screen, crushing Lu Yu right before his eyes.

Li Qiuyang froze for a moment, and then a surge of anger erupted from within him, overwhelming him.

Just moments ago, he was wondering who would engage in infighting at such a time, and it turned out the victim was his own disciple.

The golden hand paused for a moment, probing whether it had truly killed Lu Yu.

Sword light flickered in Li Qiuyang's eyes, with a world-shattering Sword Intent bursting from his chest.

Becoming one with the sword, a sword light flashed across the sky, blotting out the sun.

The sword light faded, severing the golden hand, which froze, seemingly astonished by the turn of events.

As the hand dissipated, it swung toward Li Qiuyang's position, but halfway through, half of the palm had already evaporated.

Boom~ Li Qiuyang's form flew back dozens of miles, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood with a crack.

When the golden hand struck him, its power was less than one-tenth of its peak, yet even so, Li Qiuyang was severely injured by the blow.

Li Qiuyang wiped the blood from his mouth, his sword light flickering slightly as his injuries rapidly healed, soon changing from severe to minor.

There remained a bit of injury under the rules, which wouldn't heal immediately.

Glancing at the already retreating golden hand, Li Qiuyang quickly flew to the battlefield nearby, using his soul power to gather the dispersed soul of Lu Yu after his death.

He could only obtain faint fragments of soul, with very weak personal consciousness, containing only instinctive reactions.

Li Qiuyang was heartbroken, never expecting his disciple to be killed by his own kind when unity was needed.

Hoo~ The golden screen of light changed again, and Li Qiuyang stood firm with his sword, gathering power in his heart.

The figure emerging from the golden light astonished him, leaving him speechless in shock.

"You... you aren't dead?" Li Qiuyang asked in disbelief upon seeing Lu Yu appear again in front of him, then looking down at the soul fragments in his palm.

The fragments in his palm were indeed parts of Lu Yu's soul! So, what was this Lu Yu before him?

Lu Yu had no time to explain and directly transmitted his current situation into Li Qiuyang's mind, turning his hand to absorb the scattered power around him into his body.

"Master, your disciple is being pursued. The situation is critical, so I must leave."

Li Qiuyang looked at Lu Yu, understood that this was merely one of his clones, nodded, and said with concern, "Go, and be careful."

A look of anger then appeared on his face as he said, "This matter isn't simple. A Vientiane Realm Martial Cultivator dared to openly assassinate a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple. Rest assured, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will not let him go!"

Lu Yu nodded and said, "I believe it."
