The enormous golden spear phantom blazed with dazzling light!
Chu Luo charged up to the spear phantom and instantly raised the blood-red sword in his hand!
"Forbidden Secret Arts, Blood-Baleful Sword Slaughter!"
Boom!
Chu Luo slashed his sword!
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color, and a streak of blood-red light spanning heaven and earth...
Shot forth!
Boom...
The golden spear phantom, brimming with immense power, was struck by that terrifying blood-red sword light.
And cleaved in two!
Buzz...
It dissolved into dazzling specks of golden starlight, scattering between heaven and earth...
Yet the terrifying sword light hurtled on without slowing, like a startled swan descending from the highest heavens!
Under Luo Yu's terrified gaze, it grew larger and larger!
Finally, the blood-red sword light flashed through Luo Yu's body!
And sliced a distant mountain in half...
At that moment, heaven and earth fell silent!
Everyone stared at the two figures in the sky!
Several Forbidden Sect disciples watched Chu Luo as the bloody glow around him gradually faded.
Their eyes shone, their faces filled with admiration and shock!
Their Senior Brother Chu was truly a Heavenly Prodigy Ranking killer!
He had slaughtered yet another ranked prodigy!
And once again, he had used a Forbidden Secret Art they had never seen!
They really had no idea how many of their sect's Forbidden Secret Arts Senior Brother Chu had mastered...
No wonder Senior Brother Chu used to keep popping pills.
And was always visiting the Second Elder's Medicine Field...
Now they finally understood the truth...
"So powerful..."
Yun Qianqian's beautiful eyes gleamed as she let out a soft exclamation.
Had she faced Chu Luo's sword strike just now, she absolutely could not have withstood it either!
At that moment, Yun Qianqian finally understood why the Forbidden Sect disciples had such confidence in Chu Luo...
Buzz...
High in the sky, all of Luo Yu's divine might dissipated.
The spear fell from his hand.
A vertical streak of blood appeared on his forehead.
The vitality within him rapidly drained away!
As his eyes closed, Luo Yu watched Chu Luo's figure grow increasingly blurred.
His heart filled with endless regret...
And then, this prodigy ranked one hundred and twenty-third on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking...
Perished!
Seeing his opponent drop off to sleep, Chu Luo finally relaxed.
That Forbidden Secret Art had cost him another three hundred years of his lifespan...
Every attack cost him so much life...
It seemed that if he encountered any ordinary secret arts that caught his eye in the future, he would have to master one or two.
Until he redeemed the Longevity Body, he simply did not have enough life to keep using Forbidden Secret Arts!
"Senior Brother Luo!"
"Senior Brother Luo... is... dead..."
"Run! Let's find the other senior brothers first..."
The Spiritclear Sect disciples who had dodged away beforehand stood in the distance, every face deathly pale.
They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed!
They had never imagined that Senior Brother Luo Yu would be no match for this Chu Luo!!
As they snapped out of their shock, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately fled...
Chu Luo noticed the fleeing Spiritclear Sect disciples as well.
But he did not attack!
Since he had already slaughtered one of the Spiritclear Sect's ranked prodigies...
That meant he had already offended the Spiritclear Sect.
The Spiritclear Sect certainly would not let the matter rest!
Letting these people leave would also ensure the Spiritclear Sect knew he was the killer!
Then some of the Spiritclear Sect's old fellows would surely come looking for trouble!
Heh heh...
Then I can harvest more apprentice-protection points...
At that thought, Chu Luo grinned happily, withdrew his aura, and returned to the others.
"Those Spiritclear Sect bastards sure ran fast. I seriously suspect they've practiced..."
"Hahaha... they definitely have!"
"..."
The Forbidden Sect disciples also recovered from their shock and could not help laughing.
"Senior Brother Chu, here!"
When the core disciples saw Chu Luo return...
They immediately began rummaging through their storage rings.
Then each took out one or two spiritual herbs that could restore vitality and offered them to Chu Luo!
"Senior Brother Chu, these are spiritual herbs we gathered earlier. Hurry and eat them. We understand..."
The disciples winked at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo froze. Those looks seemed a little off!
Still, warmth flowed through his heart, and he grinned.
"Oh, I couldn't possibly!"
"These spiritual herbs are supposed to be handed over to the sect..."
Despite his words, Chu Luo accepted the spiritual herbs from the disciples and immediately began munching on them, replenishing part of his lost lifespan...
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
You don't look embarrassed at all, Senior Brother Chu...
Watching the Forbidden Sect disciples get along so harmoniously...
Yun Qianqian could not help smiling too.
Suddenly, her expression changed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Senior Sister!"
The Cloudmist Sacred Land disciples turned pale with alarm.
"Miss Yun, are you all right?"
"Quick, bring some healing pills!"
Chu Luo was startled as well and hurried to check on her.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yun Qianqian might very well become their senior sister in the future!
Several Forbidden Sect disciples immediately produced a pile of healing pills and offered them to Yun Qianqian.
Yun Qianqian waved them away and smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry, Young Master Chu. I'm fine..."
"It's just an old ailment..."
With a thought, Chu Luo swept his spiritual sense over Yun Qianqian and discovered that her soul seemed to be injured!
Seemingly noticing, Yun Qianqian continued with a smile, "It seems you've discovered it, Young Master Chu."
"Not long ago, I was too eager for quick results and tried to force a breakthrough in my cultivation method. Instead, I failed and injured my soul..."
"After coming in today, I happened to discover the soul-nourishing flower... but I never expected the Spiritclear Sect disciples to appear here too..."
"Young Master Chu, could I exchange something of equal value for the soul-nourishing flower?"
At this point, Yun Qianqian looked somewhat hesitant and embarrassed...
Chu Luo and the Forbidden Sect disciples instantly understood everything.
So Yun Qianqian had already been injured.
No wonder she had been no match for Luo Yu...
Chu Luo came back to his senses and grinned.
"Since you, Miss Yun..."
Before Chu Luo could finish...
Yun Qianqian turned her hand over, and a jade bottle appeared in her palm. She said earnestly,
"Young Master Chu, this is a Realm-Breaking Pill, a high-grade earth-tier pill..."
"Although its value isn't enough to match that of the soul-nourishing flower..."
"Once we return, I will certainly make up the difference with other spiritual herbs or pills..."
"Would you be willing, Young Master Chu..."
Chu Luo looked at the Realm-Breaking Pill in Yun Qianqian's hand.
And forcibly swallowed the words he had been about to say about giving her the soul-nourishing flower.
Instead, he changed tack.
"You're too kind, Miss Yun..."
"Although the Realm-Breaking Pill isn't worth as much as this soul-nourishing flower..."
"You're the woman our Senior Brother Bai has his heart set on!"
"All right, I'm willing to make the exchange!"
As he spoke, Chu Luo immediately took the Realm-Breaking Pill from Yun Qianqian.
As though afraid she might change her mind...
Then he took out the soul-nourishing flower and handed it to her.
At his mention of Bai Yun, Yun Qianqian blushed and hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Young Master Chu!"
Then Yun Qianqian consumed the soul-nourishing flower on the spot.
She stayed there to refine its medicinal power and repair her injured soul...
The others stood guard over her...
Seeing this, Chu Luo looked at the Realm-Breaking Pill in his hand and decided to take the opportunity to improve his strength too.
So he swallowed the Realm-Breaking Pill right there and began circulating his cultivation method...
Meanwhile.
Outside the secret realm's entrance.
The Heavenly Prodigy Ranking appeared once again!
Everyone stared in horror as they discovered that Luo Yu, ranked one hundred and twenty-third on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking...
Had vanished from the list...
On the Spiritclear Sect's side, Ancient Sage Lan Qing's expression changed drastically, and he turned his hand over.
The shattered Life Tablet that appeared left him grief-stricken!
"My disciple!"
"Who was it?!"
"Who killed this sage's disciple?!"
Boom...
His furious voice resounded through heaven and earth.
Surging sage might, mingled with killing intent, sent chills through everyone...
Many of the powerful cultivators instinctively looked toward Zhao Sheng and Qin Yi on the Forbidden Sect's side...
