"Huff, huff!!"
Luo Yu gasped heavily, looking ahead at the smoky haze.
While Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skills were indeed formidable, they ca at a cost.
Just casting this soul skill had nearly drained all his soul power.
Fortunately, its power was terrifyingly evident to the naked eye.
The burst of cold energy released in an instant, along with the explosive power at the end, had exceeded his expectations.
As the dust settled, Gu Yuena was completely frozen within the blue ice.
She had beco a beautiful ice sculpture.
But quickly, the girl’s purple eyes sparkled, and the ice shattered in an instant.
Gu Yuena stepped forward with her jade feet, approaching gracefully.
"How did you find the power?" Luo Yu inquired.
Gu Yuena clicked her tongue in wonder, exclaiming, "The power of this soul skill is still limited by your insufficient soul power. Otherwise, it could have been even more freakish."
"You noticed? I lost control just now and almost got drained," Luo Yu said with a wry smile.
Gu Yuena kept her gaze fixed on the Zhu Tian Sword, sighing, "Honestly, your soul skill is stronger than I expected, far from ordinary – these various special phenona cannot be simply sumd up as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill."
"Those Phoenix wings behind you could probably let you take flight as long as you have enough soul power, right?"
"The Red Lotus beneath you shields you from all directions, protecting you while you gather power."
"And those Ice Chains wrapped around your arms, I suspect they have a unique effect that has not been revealed yet."
Luo Yu couldn’t help but give Gu Yuena a thumbs-up, "Truly worthy of being the Silver Dragon King, with an unparalleled divine spirit, your insights are too sharp, able to discern so much in such a short ti."
Gu Yuena lifted her chin with a "hmph," "If I didn’t have at least this much discernnt, I would’ve died under the Shura Divine Sword long ago, how could I have been lucky enough to live all these years?"
Luo Yu’s expression changed as he lifted his sword solemnly.
"Don’t worry, give so ti. As long as I’m here, no one can touch you."
Gu Yuena’s delicate body trembled slightly, but she quickly pouted her red lips and cooed, "Big talker, my enemies aren’t the small fries from Soul Land."
Luo Yu shook his head slightly, unhurriedly releasing his soul skill.
The Nine Heavens Execution Sword returned to its original simple appearance, unpretentious yet radiating a unique charm that highlighted its extraordinary nature.
"Why are you silent?" Gu Yuena couldn’t help but ask.
Luo Yu chuckled in surprise, "Didn’t you say you didn’t believe what I was saying?"
"Tch, my enemies are not just a god, but the entire Divine Realm! Do you realize how terrifying that existence is?"
"Moreover, you’ve now left your soul beast body behind, and it has nothing to do with us any longer. We better not get you involved."
Turning her back to Luo Yu, Gu Yuena concealed her complex expression, her hands twisting the corners of her clothes.
Luo Yu, on the other hand, rely smiled, offering no response, no vows, and no assurances.
So things, once you decide to do them, you just do without saying much.
Ti will prove everything.
Right now, he simply wanted to admire the view in front of him.
The girl’s straight jade back, the cascading black hair, her pert little behind, the straight and rounded legs, and the dust-free jade feet, all exuded the allure of feminine charm.
It made him sowhat thirsty.
Gu Yuena, anwhile, was murmuring to herself.
Luo Yu truly possessed the Dragon God Martial Soul, unparalleled in the world, and perhaps capable of confronting the Divine King Asura God in the future.
But what she had realized over the past few days was that her enemies were not as simple as just the Asura God.
The Divine Realm had five great Divine Kings, each with their own divine abilities and countless deities at their beck and call.
How could Brother Yu alone possibly contend against the entire Divine Realm?
No, she couldn’t risk her own safety by dragging Brother Yu into danger.
Gu Yuena bit her lip, deep in thought.
A ripple of emotion surged within her.
Brother Yu’s Sword Martial Soul was so special, perhaps in the future, he really could split open the heavens with a single strike?
Shaking her head, Gu Yuena thought to herself, how could that be possible.
Suddenly, the girl felt a pat on her shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw the man’s gentle and handso smile, his wise and piercing eyes as if seeing into her very thoughts.
"Go back and heal your wounds, stop overthinking. If such a day cos, let , a man, take on the crashing sky while the won stand back," he said in a calm tone, lacking any special emotion, yet like a gentle spring rain it put Gu Yuena at ease, giving her years of dodging and hiding a sense of belonging.
"Luo Yu," Gu Yuena called softly.
"What’s up?"
"Muah."
Gu Yuena tiptoed, pressing her petal-like cherry lips against Luo Yu’s in a light peck before quickly darting away.
"You woman, aren’t you afraid of starting a fire?"
Fluttering her eyelashes, Gu Yuena rolled her beautiful eyes teasingly, "So n have resorted to taking tonics to keep up their health. Whether they work or not is really not sure, tsk tsk."
Luo Yu’s mouth twitched, "Are you deliberately bringing up a sore subject? Haven’t you already tested how well I work?"
Gu Yuena’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Luo Yu smiled triumphantly, having gained the upper hand in their verbal spar.
Gu Yuena, annoyed, darted to Luo Yu’s side, bringing her lips close to his ear and blowing gently.
"I’ve tested it. It’s pretty big."
"Huff!"
"You’ve gotten naughty!!"
After their playfulness, the two of them resud their conversation.
Gu Yuena was sowhat surprised, "You’re not planning to go back to the Martial Soul Hall?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Yeah, since you’re taking out, let’s not go back for now. Bi Bidong is busy with disaster relief, and it’s also a bit awkward to et with Hulena at the mont."
Actually, staying away from Martial Soul Hall was mainly because he found it annoying.
Now that his talent had been exposed, he feared that the Elders and guest elders would be knocking on his door incessantly to win him over.
While it wasn’t right to slap a smiling face, declining each one would also be quite botherso.
Especially Qian Daoliu, that guy was hell-bent on enticing him, a true old bootlicker verified.
Others might not know, but he was well aware of the old man’s temperant. If he hadn’t had the talent, that guy could have turned his face against him in an instant. It was all about self-interest; the man wasn’t a good bird at all.
As for the matter of being introduced to Qian Renxue as a potential wife, Luo Yu didn’t care.
Without him, Zhang the butcher, could he not have the ability to eat a pig with fur?
Cough cough.
Without Qian Daoliu’s introduction, couldn’t he himself have the ability to devour Qian Renxue?
Luo Yu said seriously to Gu Yuena, "There’s sothing I need your advice on."
"Just tell ."
Luo Yu spoke helplessly, "The matter of my Martial Soul awakening might have spread. Various powers might be watching .
If they discover my whereabouts, they’ll probably flock to , either to kill or to win over, and life would beco unbearable, annoying to death."
Gu Yuena pondered, "So, what you an is..."
Luo Yu spoke ingratiatingly, "Didn’t you cast an illusion on A Wu before? Do the sa for ."
Gu Yuena rolled her beautiful eyes, "Give it a rest. Back then, I was following you the whole ti, so I could use my spiritual power to create an illusion. As soon as I was gone, she reverted back to normal."
"Er... what should we do then."
Luo Yu was at a loss for a mont.
Feeling a bit agitated, why is it so hard to stay low-key?
"Don’t worry, I have a way."
Gu Yuena smiled mysteriously, light flashing in her hand as she produced an item.
It was mask-shaped, like a thin film, shimring with a faint fluorescence.
"What is this?"
"This is called the Thousand Illusion Mask. It has no offensive capabilities, but it can alter your appearance and aura, and even hide the color of your Soul Rings."
"It’s that effective???" Luo Yu exclaid in surprise.
"Of course, this is a Divine Artifact I obtained from the Divine Realm!!" Gu Yuena boasted with an air of haughtiness.
Luo Yu opened his mouth but hesitated to reach out, "You’re lending a Divine Artifact just like that?"
Gu Yuena stuffed the Thousand Illusion Mask into his hand, her thin lips curving upward.
"I’m not lending it, it’s a gift to you!"
"Anyway, I have no use for this thing."
The girl’s generosity was paired with a bright and straightforward smile that caught Luo Yu off guard, but soon he smiled knowingly.
"Then, thanks."
"No need for thanks."
What Luo Yu didn’t know was that this item was also quite valuable to Gu Yuena.
But the girl deliberately didn’t ntion that.
The Thousand Illusion Mask was crafted from the fur of a special soul beast, the Invisible Demon Beast, which surpassed a hundred-thousand-year level, combined with unique materials.
Gu Yuena had relied on it to change her appearance and mask her aura, which gave her the opportunity to evade pursuit and hide in Soul Land.
"Oh right, this is for you too."
Gu Yuena handed Luo Yu a fragrance pouch.
"What is this?"
"Don’t ask so many questions, just keep it with you!"
Without allowing for argunt, Gu Yuena shoved the fragrance pouch into Luo Yu’s embrace.
"Promise , don’t lose it, and don’t sneak a peek inside either."
"What’s with all the secrecy?" Luo Yu grumbled, but still obediently accepted it.
After all, it was a girl’s kindness; how could he refuse?
He flipped the Thousand Illusion Mask in his hand, shaking his head slowly.
He hadn’t planned on living off a woman, yet the al had been served right to his lips.
Delicious food and a beautiful girl, it seed rude not to take a bite.
Sigh...
I really do want to strive on my own!
...
Following that, Luo Yu entrusted Gu Yuena with a few things, asking her to take a letter to Bi Bidong on his behalf.
The content of the letter was more or less coaxing the Empress, telling her to focus on disaster relief and not to worry, stating that they would definitely et again soon.
When the silver light flickered, and the graceful figure disappeared.
Luo Yu stepped out of the cave and set his gaze in the direction of the Tiandou Empire, his lips betraying a sense of anticipation and amusent.
Tang San, unmatched in hidden weapons, I wonder how you would handle my Jian; Dai Mubai, the White Tiger without peer, I wonder if you could endure my punch; Ma Hongjun, the Fire Phoenix soaring across the sky, I wonder if you could burn my Divine Body.
This ti, he was looking forward to seeing whether the fad geniuses of Shrek were as good as their reputations.
A hint of sharpness passed through Luo Yu’s bright star-like eyes.
Just then, the familiar voice rang again in his mind.
