Lu Yu reached out and crushed the oncoming attack, as the spiritual light scattered from his palm. He turned his head to look at the Martial Cultivator in the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Everyone was shocked and horrified, especially He Jialian, who was the only one aware of the true strength behind his own attack.
The attack just now appeared insignificant, without even a special effect, but in reality, it was highly concentrated Spiritual Power that could easily penetrate the protective Spirit Armor of a Martial Cultivator of the sa level. It was a technique from a sixth-grade martial art.
The power amplification of the sixth-grade martial art, along with the quality to easily pierce protective Spirit Armor, ant that even a Martial Cultivator at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm would suffer great damage from this strike.
However, such a powerful move was unexpectedly crushed by this cloaked person with a single hand.
This was completely beyond He Jialian's imagination.
"I deeply apologize for accidentally harming you, Senior. The He family is willing to compensate for your loss." He Jialian hurriedly said, bowing to express his apologies.
First, he admitted his mistake, then he pointed out that he was from the He family in Earth Fire City, hoping to make the other party wary, and then offered a bit of compensation to settle the matter, as Lu Yu wasn't injured, and it wasn't necessary to beco enemies with the He family of Earth Fire City over a small matter.
Lu Yu chuckled softly and said, "If you can take one of my moves, then we'll call it even."
He Jialian's expression changed drastically; he had no confidence in being able to withstand one of Lu Yu's moves.
However, he thought that perhaps this was the senior giving him a way out, and he might just take a hit, endure one move from the senior, and then the matter would be resolved, with no harm done to either party.
Seriously, He Jialian responded, "Alright! Whether or not I can withstand one of your moves, the He family is willing to make ands with you."
Lu Yu raised his arm and threw a punch, with a massive amount of Spiritual Power surging from his arm, turning into a purple-black beam of light hitting He Jialian, within which faint golden lights flickered.
Upon witnessing this spectacle, He Jialian's complexion changed drastically, as he channeled all the Spiritual Power into the Spirit Armor on his body, desperately urging on the fourth-grade Spirit Armor to withstand Lu Yu's attack. The source of thɪs content is novel⟡fire
Before the purple-black beam of light, the Spirit Armor seed like it was made of air; the Purple Fla Demon Fire penetrated straight through the Spirit Armor, burning He Jialian's soul. In an instant, the fierce Purple Fla Demon Fire incinerated He Jialian's soul completely.
With the loss of control, the Spiritual Power on the Spirit Armor rapidly dissipated, and the Celestial Falling Bright Fla hidden within the Purple Fla Demon Fire erupted out, its extrely high temperature lting his fourth-grade Spirit Armor, reducing him to a fireball, vanished without a trace.
In the eyes of others, He Jialian was turned into air by a punch from Lu Yu, disappearing in the Earth Fire Demon Cave, leaving no ashes.
Gazing at the spot where He Jialian vanished, Lu Yu was quite satisfied with the move he had devised; with his own Qi Condensation Realm seventh-tier Spiritual Power cultivation, he had outright killed a Qi Condensation Realm level eight Martial Cultivator, demonstrating the imnse strength of the technique.
It was all thanks to Lu Yu's passive ability that enhanced fire Spiritual Power martial damage by 50%.
On the surface, the power boost only seed applicable during martial arts usage, but that wasn't the case; any fire damage caused by using fire Spiritual Power would receive the power enhancent.
The Purple Fla Demon Fire, after receiving a 50% power boost, along with Lu Yu's willingness to expend a large amount of Spiritual Power, instantly incinerated the soul of He Jialian at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Without the infusion of Spiritual Power, the Spirit Armor was rely ornantal; under the empowered Celestial Falling Bright Fla attack, which gained yet another 50% power boost, both the fourth-grade Spirit Armor and He Jialian's body were turned to ashes.
With Lu Yu's imnse power and the propulsion of Qi Blood, the speed of the fiery column he sent out was extrely fast, leaving He Jialian with no opportunity to dodge, a key factor.
Lu Yu's only dissatisfaction was that He Jialian's storage bag was also destroyed in the fire, with everything inside incinerated by the Celestial Falling Bright Fla, leaving nothing behind.
Including plenty of Spirit Stones, which was truly a pity.
"I still lack control," Lu Yu thought. "If I could make the fire burn only what I intend to burn without harming any unintended items, I could save the storage bag."
"Perhaps I should find so ti to train the fla control ability of the Fire Demon Eyes."
Gulp~ Everyone swallowed nervously, so turned and ran without any hesitation. Since Lu Yu had already killed the strongest among them, it wasn't impossible for him to strike the rest down too.
No, it seed likely, after He Jialian had already ntioned that they were people from the He family, the cloaked figure probably didn't want word of this to reach the He family and would definitely silence them.
The first person to flee suddenly fell down and couldn't get up, his body emitting purple-black flas, slowly burning his corpse.
Within 200 ters was Lu Yu's attack range, and he could at any mont attack anyone within 200 ters. If focusing on a single target, his attack distance could increase to 1200 ters, or even 2000 ters.
"Damn it! Let's just fight him," soone shouted, controlling a spiritual weapon shooting towards Lu Yu.
Lu Yu caught the spiritual weapon by hand, forcibly seized it from the opponent, and after burning them to death, the spiritual weapon beca an unowned object and was collected into Lu Yu's backpack. The rest had no chance to escape, and all were killed by Lu Yu.
Only Zhou Tong remained. Zhou Tong, ashen-faced, watched Lu Yu fly over.
Overpowering the Qi Condensation Realm, killing a level eight Martial Cultivator in seconds, in Zhou Tong's eyes, Lu Yu was already a Qi Sea Realm-level powerhouse, leaving him with no chance to escape.
From Zhou Tong, Lu Yu felt a faint sense of threat, making it clear that the other party had so kind of hidden power capable of harming him.
Looking at Zhou Tong, Lu Yu said, "I am not soone who kills indiscriminately. As long as you help with one thing, I will pretend you never saw anything here…"
An hour later, Zhou Tong arrived in the corner of the third level of the Earth Fire Demon Cave. The third level was filled with demon beasts at the Demon Might Realm, dangerous for Zhou Tong who just beca a Martial Cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm.
But he had no choice, as a more dangerous existence lood behind him.
Upon seeing the area burning with the purple-black flas as described by the cloaked person, Zhou Tong quickened his pace, as Lu Yu had promised him that he only needed to carry the purple-black flas to the second level entrance to the third level, and he'd be let go.
Although I don't know why soone at the Qi Sea Realm like the cloaked man would handle the purple-black flas personally, Zhou Tong had no choice but to comply.
Zhou Tong recognized this purple-black fla; it's known to most Martial Cultivators who've been to the third layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave. This fla can burn the soul and spiritual power. Just a touch is incredibly painful.
So Martial Cultivators have tried to refine this fla, but most were defeated by the soul-burning pain. The lucky ones suffered minor injuries, while the unlucky had their souls incinerated, leaving only their shells, dying on the third layer.
You can't touch the purple-black fla with your body; this is a widely spread caution in the third layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave.
"Soone's coming—not Lu Yu," soone noticed Zhou Tong approaching and said.
"Then ignore him; don't startle the snake."
"No, wait. What's he doing? Why is he taking the flas with clothes?" soone asked, puzzled.
"Maybe he's dealing with the third layer's monsters. When you're no match for a monster, throw this soul-burning fire into the monster's lair, and the monster will flee, then you can seize the treasure from its lair," explained the guide He Jia found in Earth Fire City.
"I didn't know it could be used that way; thanks for the insight."
"No movent?" Lu Yu stood in the shadows, watching the place where the Purple Fla Demon Fire burned. He didn't sense any other presence, making him even more suspicious.
Such a large area, yet aside from Zhou Tong, there's no hint of any other life presence—isn't that strange?
At the very least, there should be a few monster auras, but there are none here, not one.
On his journey, Lu Yu could always sense monsters hidden underground, either lying in ambush or in slumber.
But here, there was no monster aura to be sensed.
Perhaps it's the Purple Fla Demon Fire burning here that repelled those monsters, preventing them from appearing.
But Lu Yu already had his suspicions, leaning more towards believing a strong force was hiding here, scaring off the monsters.
Once suspicion is planted, it only needs a little nourishnt to grow.
Zhou Tong made his way back to the entrance between the second and third layers, feeling anxious as he was surrounded by monsters stronger than himself. If not for his excellent stealth techniques, he wouldn't have completed the challenge given by Lu Yu.
The Purple Fla Demon Fire burned on the clothes, and Zhou Tong threw them far on the ground. To carry this bit of the Purple Fla Demon Fire here, he almost used up all his spare clothes in his storage bag.
Fortunately, the Purple Fla Demon Fire wasn't overly combustible; otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted this far.
Lu Yu picked up the garnt on the ground, and seeing this, Zhou Tong was startled; he wanted to speak but then thought better of it and closed his mouth.
What shocked Zhou Tong was that the purple-black fla didn't harm the cloaked man at all. Remarkably, the cloaked man dared to touch the purple-black fla with his hand, and then the fla on the clothes diminished and was absorbed by the cloaked man.
The spiritual power on Lu Yu's hand vibrated, shattering the garnt burnt to a crisp. He confird that the purple-black fla was indeed the Purple Fla Demon Fire, and the information provided by the Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple was accurate.
Glancing at Zhou Tong, he casually said, "You can leave now."
Zhou Tong hesitated for a mont, then bit the bullet and asked, "Senior, are you intending to refine this fire? I know of a place where the fire is stronger than what's on the third layer."
Lu Yu halted and looked at him, "Oh? Tell , what do you want in return?"
He didn't believe in free favors since Zhou Tong was willing to speak up; he must want sothing in return.
Zhou Tong said seriously, "I want Senior to take to the fourth layer; I know a place there with more potent Purple Fla Demon Fire."
He knew this fire was called the Purple Fla Demon Fire, and not only that, but he also knew where it originated.
"The fourth layer?" Lu Yu pondered for a mont, then agreed to Zhou Tong's request.
The fourth layer hosts many monsters at the Demon Spirit Realm, and even Demon Core Realm monsters appear. People have spotted millennium-old Spirit dicine there.
Going to the fourth layer posed so risk for Lu Yu, let alone bringing a burden, but it was better than being ambushed by unknown powers on the third layer.
For Lu Yu, the third layer was less safe than the fourth layer.
After all, the dangers on the fourth layer were apparent: nurous Demon Majesty Realm monsters and plenty of Demon Spirit Realm monsters, perhaps even encountering a Demon Core Realm monster.
But on the third layer, who knows how many people are hidden in the place where the Purple Fla Demon Fire burns. Even if ten or more Qi Sea Realm, or even Core Formation Realm, appeared, Lu Yu wouldn't be surprised.
After all, those hunting him had that kind of strength.
"Let tell you in advance, once we're down to the fourth layer, I can't guarantee your safety. If we encounter unavoidable danger, I might escape alone, not necessarily taking you along," Lu Yu warned Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong nodded, "I understand. It suffices that Senior takes to the fourth layer; the place I need to go is close to where Senior wants to go."
"Let's move!"
Seeing Zhou Tong had this understanding, Lu Yu led the way towards the entrance to the fourth layer.
