The tree trunk shook violently, and the falcon pursuer collapsed to the ground, half of its wing bone shattered. It was in so much pain that it convulsed all over and didn't even have the strength to get up.
The situation reversed instantly.
The remaining bear and viper pursuers were utterly terrified, their eyes filled with the fear of death!
The viper pursuer's eyes were sinister. Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Yu had just finished his powerful attack and was still unsteady on his feet, he moved along the ground.
The snake-patterned purple light on his body surged, and he unleashed his Third Soul Skill, Snake Tail Entanglement, as if his entire tail was being stretched out and coiling around Lu Yu.
"You dare hurt my elder brother? You'll pay with your life!"
Lu Yu's eyes sharpened. Before she could adjust her posture, she stomped her foot hard on the ground and forcefully turned her body to the side.
laugh--
The snake's tail grazed the skin and flesh under his ribs, tearing open a thin, bloody gash, the wound bringing a numbing, stiff pain.
Lu Yu groaned in pain, but instead of retreating, he advanced, using the momentum from dodging to the side to gather golden light in his palm and surge forward instead of retreating.
"Your turn."
Lu Yu's eyes were extremely cold. The moment he got close, his five fingers turned into claws, and the Dragon Claw Hand clenched out again, grabbing at the shoulder blade of the viper pursuer.
Relying on its venom, the viper pursuers were not afraid to get close, and swept its tail to try to force Lu Yu back.
But he underestimated Lu Yu's determination to kill him.
clang!
The golden palm clashed head-on with the poisonous stinger, the sound of metal clashing against metal exploding, and the viper's tail was numbed by the shock.
Now!
Lu Yu reached out with his other hand, gripping the other man's shoulder and neck tightly, his five fingers digging forcefully into the flesh of the viper pursuer.
ah--
The viper pursuer let out a pained cry that was not human, its tail thrashing wildly, each strike hitting Lu Yu.
Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Yu twisted her waist and delivered a powerful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the viper pursuer to the ground!
Bang!
The ground shook, sending up rubble and dust. The viper pursuers crashed down heavily, gushing blood and gas from their chests, and their vision went black.
Lu Yu gave him no chance to catch his breath. Taking advantage of the moment he landed and froze, Lu Yu compressed and spun his Soul Power in his left palm, and fired Rasengan at the face of the viper pursuer.
Pfft!
The viper's head exploded like a watermelon, red and white pieces scattered all over the ground, and half of Lu Yu's face was covered in crimson blood.
If the Spirit Hall saw this, he would definitely be considered Evil Soul Master and would be suppressed on the spot!
The viper pursuer twitched, its purplish-black tail turning into specks of light and dissipating back into armored human legs, completely losing its life.
After dealing with the viper pursuers, Lu Yu didn't pause. He suddenly turned back and headed straight for the falcon pursuers who were lying on the ground groaning.
At this moment, the falcon pursuer had one wing broken off and was no longer able to fight; all that remained was fear.
Seeing Lu Yu approaching step by step, he hurriedly braced himself against the ground and backed away, his voice trembling:
"Don't come any closer! I'm the Crown Prince's man. If you kill me, the Crown Prince won't let you get away with it..."
"When you tried to kill me, didn't you think about the consequences?"
Lu Yu remained expressionless, looking down at Lu Yu as she steadily placed one foot on the ground.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the falcon pursuer's screams abruptly ceased, leaving no trace.
Three of the four pursuers are gone!
On the other side, Xiong Zhuibing's eyes were bloodshot with rage, his eyes completely bloodthirsty.
Knowing he was doomed, he abandoned all defense, his yellow and purple Soul Ring surging, his Soul Power exploding, his body growing larger, his muscles bulging, and he charged savagely at Zhu Zhuqing who was blocking his way!
"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me! Die!!"
The bear pursuer charged with all his might, far exceeding any ordinary attack, and struck Zhu Zhuqing with a palm strike carrying an overwhelming, savage force.
Zhu Zhuqing was already seriously injured, and she dared not withstand this desperate attack.
But she had nowhere left to retreat!
"Am I going to die? Fine! Let it all end!"
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes in despair.
But the bear pursuers' attack didn't land for a while. After a few seconds, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view was Lu Yu's face, stained with blood.
"Why... why!"
Pfft~
Lu Yu opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't even blink, just staring intently at Lu Yu's face.
The bear pursuer behind him stared wide-eyed, looking down in confusion at the golden rod emerging from his chest.
Behind him stood the Great Sage, wielding his Ruyi Staff).
Bang!
Bear Chaser collapsed to the ground, filled with resentment and confusion, his eyes fixed on the dark night sky.
The last person fell, and Lu Yu also retrieved the Great Sage and the Ruyi Staff back into his body.
All four Soul Elder were annihilated!
The dense forest fell silent instantly, save for the howling night wind and the four gruesome corpses.
Lu Yu spread her arms to protect Zhu Zhuqing, panting heavily. With each breath, blood would seep from the corners of her mouth; these were real, tangible injuries.
"Damn, this time it seems like we've gone a bit too far!"
Lu Yu forced down the blood in his chest, looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was slumped on the ground, her face pale, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
If we manage to get out of here alive, would you be willing to go with me to see all the mountains and rivers?
"Why!"
Zhu Zhuqing's question was certainly not Lu Yu's, "Would you accompany me to see all the mountains and rivers?"
Instead, he asked why Lu Yu had gone to such lengths to save him, knowing it was a death sentence, yet still rushing to his aid without hesitation.
For Zhu Zhuqing, who was abandoned and ostracized since childhood, Lu Yu 'Zhu Zhuqing current actions have an impact no less than that of a nuclear bomb.
Lu Yu slowly sat down, grinning, "Want to know? I'll tell you if you survive!"
Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Lu Yu, unable to understand why Lu Yu clearly had the ability to escape on her own, would choose to stay and save her.
Shouldn't abandoning others for personal gain or even their lives be considered part of human nature?
But the person in front of him was truly different from Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Mubai. He was genuinely unafraid of death and truly willing to fight alongside him.
As she watched, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and she asked again.
"Why!"
Lu Yu smiled upon hearing this, "Why are there so many 'whys'? If we had to understand everything, wouldn't life be too boring!"
Lu Yu sat up after a while, looked in the direction of Star Luo Imperial City, and stretched out a hand to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Like I said, I'll only tell you if you want to know if you'll get out alive!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't reach out to help Lu Yu up. Instead, she pushed herself up from the ground and tried three times before she could barely get up.
Clutching his stomach, he slowly made his way towards the border of the Star Luo Empire.
About twenty minutes after Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing left, a group of men in black finally arrived. Upon seeing the four corpses on the ground, they all gasped in horror.
"Boss, do we really have to keep chasing them?"
One of the henchmen asked fearfully.
The leader glared at him and slapped him on the back of the head.
"We've given strict orders. If you don't want to chase after them, you can leave now. I won't stop you!"
"Hehe~ Boss, I was just asking. Even the First Prince's men died here, what if we go and they die too!"
"Stop talking nonsense to Laozi, go after them and see what happens. If you can't kill them, then we'll talk!"
The leader kicked the underling who had asked the question, then waved his hand and chased after Zhu Zhuqing others in the direction they had left.
