Chapter 521: The Death of Li Zhuoying
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Zhuoying glanced at Mo Wen with a grim expression. Right now, he was itching to kill this little brute. However, with Chen Wuhui around, he couldn’t kill Mo Wen.
“Brat, just you wait for the day when the Sacred Flame Sect pays everything back.” Ignoring Mo Wen’s teasing, Li Zhuoying transformed into a shadow, charging towards the surrounding black screen straight away.
“Stop,” Mo Wen uttered the word with a cruel smile. The next moment, Li Zhuoying’s body jerked as though something was suddenly pulling him. The force that he released was cut off abruptly. The inertia caused his body to slam into the black screen. With a rebound, he fell backward.
Li Zhuoying shook his head. He felt dizzy and unwell, as though his head has just received a forceful hit. “Brat, what did you just do to me?” Enraged, he glared at Mo Wen. He could tell that Mo Wen had definitely done something to him based on Mo Wen’s expression. It was just that he couldn’t figure out how the brute did it.
“Idiot, I have said that you can’t leave today. But you still do not believe me.” Mo Wen stared at Li Zhuoying devilishly with his hands behind his back. His Divine Soul Trillion Layers could affect the later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. Li Zhuoying was just at the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm. Naturally, he couldn’t escape Mo Wen’s attack.
However, ancient martial art pract.i.tioners like Li Zhuoying had much greater soul power than those beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. Therefore, the effect that he received was not as great as that of those Sacred Flame Sect elders.
If Mo Wen was alone, he would most likely not be able to kill Li Zhuoying. He might lose be defeated and could even die if he continued to get caught up with Li Zhuoying.
“Old Grandfather Chen, end this fellow. After this, we will kill Zhu Lanhuo and the Sacred Flame Sect most likely be done for.” Mo Wen laughed cheekily and looked at Chen Wuhui.
“Of course.” Chen Wuhui nodded. A white light flashed and he instantly appeared not far away from Li Zhuoying.
Li Zhuoying had a bad feeling now. He had yet to figure out what happened as it all seemed too bizarre. Right now though, he was finally a little scared. He turned around to dash towards the black screen again, seemingly without any intention to fight Chen Wuhui. He merely hoped that this time, he could get out successfully.
“You can’t get away.” Mo Wen stood still and sent out another soul attack. Instantaneously, the same situation happened again. Li Zhuoying’s strength disappeared suddenly. He slammed into the black screen and bounced back once again.
However, this time, Chen Wuhai appeared beside him. Taking advantage of the instant when Li Zhuoying was still not in control, Chen Wuhui calmly extended a palm strike and sent Li Zhuoying flying straight away.
Bang!
Li Zhuoying’s body slammed into the black screen and a huge thud sounded. A terrifying force erupted. However, the dark barrier constructed by the stratagem actually just shook a little and was not destroyed by the force. This clearly showed the strong ability of the stratagem to create and maintain a s.p.a.ce.
Li Zhuoying spat out a mouthful of blood. His face went pale instantly. A simple palm strike from Chen Wuhui had been enough to injure him severely.
For Li Zhuoying, the more unexpected thing was that even with him being alert and cautious, he still couldn’t fight against the bizarre dizziness. He had been given no warning at all. He had just lost control over his body out of the blue.
“You…” Li Zhuoying was really frightened this time. If this persisted, he would most likely die in the hands of Chen Wuhui without being able to offer much resistance. This was too bewitching. What exactly was happening?
“Go die,” Chen Wuhui said coldly, then he took a step forward and appeared in front of Li Zhuoying.
Shocked, Li Zhuoying attempted to resist. However, at the critical moment, the dizziness attacked him again. Uncontrollably, he once again lost control over his own body.
Bang!
Chen Wuhui’s fist landed on Li Zhuoying’s skull. His body started to split into pieces, starting from his skull. Li Zhuoying died with his body in pieces.
The power of the fist was definitely terrifying.
Mo Wen waved his hand and the surrounding black screens disappeared instantly. The sunlight s.h.i.+ned on them once again. The Black Screen Trapping Stratagem was not an Intentionless Sect’s stratagem; instead, it was the set of stratagem flags which Mo Wen had carried with him. Before coming to Intentionless City, he had got these stratagem flags from the Ghost Lair’s ancient martial art pract.i.tioners after he had eliminated them at the Bi Clan Manor House.
The offensive ability of this stratagem was not high, but it had a very strong defensive ability and the ability to trap enemies.
“Old Grandfather Chen, only Zhu Lanhuo is left in the Sacred Flame Sect. There is no need to fear them now.” Mo Wen smiled. Now that Li Zhuoying was dead, the Sacred Flame Sect had lost its advantage over them.
“Everything was made possible with the help of little friend Mo Wen. I am eternally grateful for your help.” A glint of grat.i.tude flashed in Chen Wuhui’s eyes. If Mo Wen had not shown up when he did, the Intentionless Sect would most likely have been done for.
“I merely helped myself by helping the Intentionless Sect. There is still Zhu Lanhuo. Is Old Grandfather Chen interested in killing him?” Mo Wen said, smiling. His gaze was playful.
If Zhu Lanhuo was also killed in the Intentionless Sect, it meant the Sacred Flame Sect was totally doomed. The Sacred Flame Sect had come to the Intentionless Sect with an imposing manner, but they had ended up being exterminated completely. This would surely become a joke in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“Naturally. I must kill him. But little friend Mo Wen, can you still hold up?” Chen Wuhui stared at Mo Wen. He could tell that Mo Wen’s soul power had been depleted drastically after launching three soul attacks on Li Zhuoying. After all, the enemy was an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner. Unlike facing those at the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm, launching a soul attack on someone at the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm used up three times as much soul power.
“I can still hold up for two attacks. So Old Grandfather Chen must seize the opportunities,” Mo Wen replied.
With the Divine Soul Trillion Layers, his soul power was comparably more lasting. Otherwise, if any other person here could launch soul attacks and had soul power akin to the pinnacle of Golden Elixir realm, that person would most likely have exhausted all his soul power after attacking three times.
But the Divine Soul Trillion Layers was different. It was a great magical power renowned among the Immortal Cultivation world.
“I will need only one blow.” The light in Chen Wuhui’s eyes shone brightly. With an attack, even if he couldn’t kill Zhu Lanhuo, it was enough to severely injure him. After that, even without Mo Wen’s a.s.sistance, Zhu Lanhuo had no chance of leaving the Intentionless Sect.
Before this, everyone had seen that Li Zhuoying was chasing after Mo Wen. However, n.o.body paid much attention to it. The people from the Intentionless Sect had no time to spare while the people from the Sacred Flame Sect thought that Li Zhuoying would surely not have any problem chasing and killing a youth. Everyone thought that the youth would surely not escape death.
In the square, the intense battle continued. n.o.body had paid attention to the chase.
Chen Wuhui made a grab and Li Zhuoying’s corpse was sucked onto his hand. Then, with a flash, his silhouette flew into the sky. In an instant, he appeared in the sky on top of the Mindfulness Hall.
“Those who trespa.s.s in my Intentionless Sect will be exterminated.” Chen Wuhui’s icy cold voice rang in the square. He threw Li Zhuoying’s corpse onto the ground straight away. A thud sounded, with dust flying everywhere.
Suddenly, the square was dead silent. Everyone was stunned. They stopped what they were doing, gawking at the corpse which had fallen onto the ground and at the elder in white who was floating in mid-air.
“That is the deputy sect leader! How is this possible?”
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Could it be that I am seeing an illusion?”
“This is impossible. The deputy sect leader is an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner. No one in the Intentionless Sect could fight against him. How could he be dead?”
“This must be fake. That can’t be the deputy sect leader! It’s definitely not.”
Everyone from the Sacred Flame Sect wore an incredulous expression. The scene before their eyes was too shocking. How was it possible that the deputy sect leader Li Zhuoying, who was still alive a moment ago, had turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye?
An unparalleled master at the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm had died so abruptly. n.o.body from the Sacred Flame Sect could accept this reality.
Let alone the Sacred Flame Sect, even the people from the Intentionless Sect found it hard to believe the scene before them. They wished fervently that everyone from the Sacred Flame Sect was dead, but the scene before them seemed a little unrealistic no matter how they looked at it.
However, soon some Intentionless Sect members noticed the elder in white, who was floating in mid-air. In an instant, brilliant lights s.h.i.+ned in the eyes of almost all Intentionless Sect’s members. It was as though a helpless person had found his emotional support.
“Sect Leader!”
“The sect leader is…”
“My eyes are not playing tricks on me, right?”
“This is great. Sect Leader has finally appeared.”
Many ancient martial art pract.i.tioners from the Intentionless Sect stared at the elder in white excitedly. It was hard to contain their emotions. The pillar of the Intentionless Sect had finally appeared before their eyes when the sect was facing a calamity.
Many people couldn’t figure out how the sect leader, who clearly was severely injured, could appear on the battleground. However, everything else didn’t matter as long as he was here.
“Father!” Chen Zikuang gazed at the elder in mid-air. Tears filled his eyes instantly even though he was a mature adult. He hadn’t expected his father to appear now, far earlier than he antic.i.p.ated. The battle, which had lasted for almost a month, had rendered him tired and miserable. He had shouldered mountain-like pressure. The survival of a century old sect was all laid in his hands. When burdened with such a heavy responsibility, even though he said nothing on the outside, he could barely breathe inside.
Before the big battle, he had been prepared to sacrifice himself. If he could use his death to allow the Intentionless Sect to continue, he would do it without hesitation.
“Chen Wuhui! You…” A roar sounded in the air like a thunderclap. Zhu Lanhuo’s eyes were bulging with anger. He stared incredulously at Chen Wuhui, who was floating in mid-air. It was the Intentionless Sect’s sect leader, whom he had included in his plan since the beginning and was supposed to be laying half-dead in bed right now. How was it possible for him to appear here now?
Furthermore, he had killed Li Zhuoying! How did he do that? Even Zhu Lanhuo himself didn’t have the ability to kill Li Zhuoying. At the same time, Zhu Lanhuo understood what Li Zhuoying’s death meant. Zhu Lanhuo couldn’t accept this at all. All the planning and effort had actually yielded such a terrible result.
“Zhu Lanhuo, you are indeed capable and smart. You are courageous and prudent. Unfortunately, your luck is too bad and the Intentionless Sect is very lucky. The heavens have decided that our Intentionless Sect will not be eradicated,” Chen Wuhui said clearly.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that a mere youth could reverse the battle between two large sects. But, that was the reality. Mo Wen alone had caused the battle to be turned around completely.
If the Sacred Flame Sect was not from the Anti-Ming Faction, if the Sacred Flame Sect hadn’t attacked the Intentionless Sect at this time, if the Intentionless Sect hadn’t invited Mo Wen over before the attack had begun, then everything would have developed according to Zhu Lanhuo’s plan.
So, it could only be said that Zhu Lanhuo’s luck was too bad.
