NOVEL NEXT Chapter 283: Fighting and Fleeing, Framed and Trapped_2
In this world, the deterrent power of the strong truly is overwhelming.
Soon, it was Meng Yu's turn.
A Golden Core floated in the void, accompanied by two Foundation Establishment cultivators with a dozen Qi Cultivation disciples. They were processing the surrendering enemies in an assembly line fashion, casually waving to Meng Yu, but the subtle details betrayed their heightened vigilance towards him.
Those who attempted assassinations were actively informing Eternal Night Palace about which among the Foundation Establishment needed careful attention, not to mention, the Golden Core who had previously been lurking on the Flying Boat also noticed the anomaly that was Meng Yu.
The two descending Foundation Establishment cultivators, besides the Golden Core, were the strongest duo present; a man and a woman on high alert while the Golden Core's Divine Sense also locked onto Meng Yu, ready to make an example out of him should the need arise.
"Accept the restriction, and after verification that you are not possessed by a Blood Demon, you can leave," said one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Eternal Night Palace. However, Meng Yu did not unbuckle his sword, instead calmly walking over.
"Great Dao reaches the sky, we each take our own path, how about that?"
In that moment, Meng Yu dropped his disguise, releasing the aura of a Seventh Layer Foundation Establishment, not to mention his battle will forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Stop or die!"
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Eternal Night Palace unsheathed their long swords. One was at the Eighth Layer and the other at the Ninth Layer; both wielded swords, one Yin and one Yang, their combined momentum locked onto Meng Yu, their auras entwined, ready to strike at any moment!
Yin Yang Pisces Sword, their coordinated efforts were such that even a Golden Core would have difficulty securing a quick victory over them!
Meng Yu didn't stop, but continued moving forward, and then, a flash of sword light!
One Yin and one Yang, two beams of sword light sealed off Meng Yu's body, but to their surprise, Meng Yu did not dodge!
"Is he wearing Treasure Armor?"
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators furrowed their brows, but their swords were also extremely sharp; after infusing them with Spiritual Energy, they could cut through anything. This person...
The next moment, Meng Yu, slick as a fish, astutely slid through their Sword Qi, hitting the tips of their swords intentionally!
No, it was deliberate, intentionally and meticulously planned!
This was an extremely odd move, leaving the two Foundation Establishment cultivators to react instinctively with a stab.
Both long swords thrust forcefully but struck the tough Soft Armor, and of course, even the best Treasure Armor would not hold against their strike. However, who would have thought that behind the Soft Armor lay another layer as slippery as an eel, deflecting their attack.
Eighteen Falls of the Stained Garment, combined with a reckless strategy that gambled life for life!
The next moment their moves became old, and a beam of sword light flashed!
This time upon his return, Meng Yu's equipment was no longer as simple as before.
For example, the long sword on his back, named "Ghostly Song," appeared quite ordinary, only the tip had a clear, transparent drop, as if there was a notch.
The sword light shone like water, fleeting past. The Weak Water Sword Technique was the weakest and most gentle, each strike like a droplet of spring water; it was also merged with the Crane Spirit Needle from the White Crane Swordsmanship!
The sword like a needle, the needle like water, and above all, Meng Yu's willingness to gamble with his life!
The Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment swordsman didn't have time to react before his head exploded under Meng Yu's sword. The Ninth Layer companion immediately retreated, but still felt the flash of the sword light passing by.
A single drop of Weak Water, the Crane Spirit Needle!
The long sword blocked Meng Yu's targeted strike accurately, yet unexpectedly, the light from the sword split in two in mid-air.
"Sword splits the light?"
In an instant, he thought of the advanced sword technique but was unable to guard his chest in time.
He too was wearing the Eternal Night Palace's Battle Armor, the black Heart-Protecting Mirror adorned with dense talismans. This Third Grade Magical Treasure had saved his life countless times, but today, it disappointed him for the first time.
Swift and sharp, the sword light pierced the edge of the Heart-Protecting Mirror, breaking through the Heavenly Silkworm Silk Soft Armor, and the next moment, the sword light exploded in his chest, killing him.
In a brief instant, two swordsmen perished, and at the very moment Meng Yu made his strike, the Golden Core at the rear let out a thunderous roar.
"Meng Yu!"
Had it been a fair fight, the two could have withstood over a hundred blows from Meng Yu's sword, but now they had fallen straightway. Apart from Meng Yu, who else could possess such a fierce and venomous sword technique willing to trade life for life?
A sword as wide as a door panel ferociously slashed towards Meng Yu, the Golden Core too being a master of close combat. His eyes bloodshot, the two that had just perished were his favorite disciples.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a loud bang came from the Flying Boat. The Fiery Divine Thunder placed by Mirror twelve in the engine core detonated!
"Not good, Eternal Night Palace is trying to silence us!"
Meng Yu didn't receive the giant sword but instead ingeniously used the momentum to escape. The just-detected Fiery Divine Thunder, in combination with the Flying Boat's engine, the shockwave shook the Thousand Peaks Demon Suppression Map!
Meng Yu's appearance reverted to normal, a Fire Element long sword appeared in his hand, and his body directly escaped, sword light flashing by, some of the surrendered who had received restrictions were now freed.
"Farewell, everyone!"
The next moment, Meng Yu shot up towards the sky, breaking through the Thousand Peaks Demon Suppression Map, flying away!
Perhaps staying put could have led to various spin-off scenarios, like playing weak to defeat the strong, saving many people, or perhaps even a beauty falling for him. Maybe lurking in the dark, assassinating the three Golden Cores one by one, could have made his reputation even better.
But Meng Yu did not linger because there was no need.
The Golden Core wielding the huge sword relentlessly pursued him, and another Golden Core from afar also joined the chase. They were on a private job and could ignore many things, but if Meng Yu were to appear and they simply watched him escape, the Nascent Soul Ancestor would never forgive them!
