Eternal Heart Chapter 742: Battle with Luo Qiumei

It was clear that Situ Lin Yu was on Chen Yu’s side.

If Shen Ji forcefully pressured Chen Yu to hand over the seal, the other party would not stand by idly.

Having just battled with Luo Qiui and suffered injuries, Shen Ji was not willing to engage with the unfathomable Situ Lin Yu at this ti.

If he were not careful and lost, his illustrious life would end right here.

"Chen Yu, take care of yourself."

Shen Ji snorted coldly and turned to leave.

His original plan was to force Chen Yu to hand over the seal, but in the end, he not only failed to do so but actually helped Chen Yu drive away a powerful enemy.

Thinking of this, Shen Ji felt extrely annoyed and frustrated.

If soone uninford saw this, they might actually think Shen Ji and Chen Yu had a good relationship and had co a long way to assist.

"Take care, Brother Shen."

Chen Yu’s cheerful voice ca from behind.

"Chen Yu, I’ll see how long you can stay pleased with yourself."

A fierce light flashed in Shen Ji’s eyes as he swallowed this anger and, along with the other disciples of Black Demon Valley, left the area.

Outside, the battle between the disciples of Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect caused a great stir.

"Who would have thought Luo Qiui would not be a match for Shen Ji."

"Shen Ji is quite the dark horse; maybe he can make it into the top five."

"I’ve been overestimating Luo Qiui all along; seems like rumors can’t be trusted."

Before the ranking battle of the Tianjiao List began, rumors had it that Luo Qiui had a chance to enter the top five, and the Little Demon King Shen Ji could make it to the top twenty. However, once the fight started, the outco was beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Situ Lin Yu has broken through; now we’re in for a good show. The competition for the top five spots is going to be more intense."

Above them all, the Silent Blood King and the Dark Feather King both let out sighs of relief.

"This Shen Ji is so strong; it’s fortunate that Luo Qiui managed to escape using a secret technique. Otherwise, if the seal had been taken, there would have been no hope."

The Dark Feather King still held so hope that once Luo Qiui collected a thousand seals, he would win the bet with the Silent Blood King.

On the other hand, the Silent Blood King was worried about Shen Ji losing to Luo Qiui.

"I didn’t expect Old Wang to be so low-key; he must have given Shen Ji many benefits in secret."

The Silent Blood King inwardly sneered, glancing at the Demon Valley Master.

However, the Demon Valley Master did teach his disciples well; otherwise, Shen Ji would have likely lost to Luo Qiui, and his Heavenly Cold Blood Bamboo would have to be given to the Dark Feather King.

"Dark Feather King, your disciple is nothing special after all," said the Silent Blood King with a laugh.

This embarrassing defeat of Luo Qiui was a perfect opportunity to mock the Dark Feather King.

The Dark Feather King’s face turned grim but then smiled suddenly as if he thought of sothing, "Heh, your disciples are no better, managing only a draw with a mid-tier disciple from my Heavenly Jade Sect."

The two Kings traded barbs a few tis and then fell silent.

The first segnt had not yet ended.

Above the gorge, in an instant, only Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu were left.

"Being a protector for you is really no easy task."

Chen Yu said jokingly.

After all, countless people had died here before.

"These two groups of people must have co for you."

Situ Lin Yu’s mind was as clear as a mirror.

"That’s not wrong..."

Chen Yu laughed heartily. In the end, Situ Lin Yu’s ergence had thwarted Shen Ji’s plan.

"However, if it weren’t for you, I would not have been able to break through successfully."

Situ Lin Yu expressed his gratitude, finally revealing a mysterious smile, "So, I have a big gift for you."

"A big gift?"

Chen Yu’s expression shifted slightly.

"Let’s talk as we go."

Situ Lin Yu took off flying first, with Chen Yu following behind.

On the way, Situ Lin Yu finally explained what the "big gift" was.

"What? You know where Luo Qiui is?"

Chen Yu said with a mix of surprise and joy.

"Perhaps we can find her."

"Before I went into seclusion, I dispersed the Evil Spirit and all the Yin Soul Ghost Servants in all directions; if anyone approached, they would be intercepted..."

Situ Lin Yu explained.

Chen Yu was aware of this as well.

Those who approached Situ Lin Yu’s seclusion area were capable and resourceful; in fact, even more riff-raff had been chased away.

"And when Luo Qiui escaped, she happened to be spotted by one of my Ghost Servants."

Situ Lin Yu said with a smile.

Therefore, he could roughly determine Luo Qiui’s escape route.

But they needed to act quickly; if too much ti passed and Luo Qiui got too far away, even Situ Lin Yu would find it difficult to track her down.

Soon after, the two arrived at a continuous mountain range.

"She’s here."

Situ Lin Yu’s mouth curled into an evil smile.

Luo Qiui hadn’t run far but had found a concealed place nearby, clearly in urgent need of healing her injuries.

"Brother Chen, shall I take action, or will you take it upon yourself?"

Situ Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"Is that even a question?"

Chen Yu retorted, then firmly replied, "Of course, I shall take action myself!"

During the previous fight, Chen Yu had deliberately hidden his strengths and prolonged the battle.

His opponent Dong Quanjian kept provoking him, and Chen Yu had endured much, feeling sowhat stifled.

Moreover, Luo Qiui’s previous target was Chen Yu himself.

Now, Chen Yu naturally wanted to take his revenge personally.

...

Inside a cave within the great mountain, Luo Qiui sat cross-legged, circulating her Cultivation Technique to heal her injuries.

"I never thought the Little Demon King Shen Ji would be so powerful."

"Today’s defeat to him doesn’t an I can’t beat him in the future; I, Luo Qiui, will surely take my revenge."

Luo Qiui’s face was frosty, her eyes filled with unwillingness and rage.

"Hu!"

Monts later, Luo Qiui exhaled a breath of cold air.

"Thank goodness I have the ’Heavenly Returning Pill,’" Brother Chen sighed, "or my wounds would take much longer to heal..."

Luo Qiui estimated that within two days, her injuries could recover by seventy to eighty percent.

She still had hope for the ranked battle on the Pride of Heaven List.

Suddenly, Luo Qiui sensed sothing was amiss.

Boom!

A sound like thunderous lightning abruptly burst forth, causing rocks to crumble and revealing the pitch-black cave to the world outside.

"Luo Qiui, hand over the seal!"

A booming voice shook the air.

Amidst the debris, a layer of icy light protected Luo Qiui within, leaving her unhard.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, a trace of surprise flickered in Luo Qiui’s eyes.

"What a joke, even with my injuries, you are no match for within ten moves."

Luo Qiui’s face betrayed a mocking sneer.

It seed Chen Yu was hoping to benefit like the fisherman who profits from the quarrel of the snipe and the clam. Unfortunately, Chen Yu was overestimating himself.

"On the contrary, you’ve escaped death once and now you’ve co to willingly. Since that’s the case, I’ll take both your seal and your life."

If it hadn’t been for Shen Ji’s sudden arrival, Chen Yu would have already fallen to her sword.

"Ha-ha, I’m not kind enough to do such good deeds."

Chen Yu laughed loudly, suddenly launching an attack.

Bang! Bang!

He thrust out two palms in rapid succession, and two dull gleaming translucent palm strikes dashed out from within the darkness.

"Spatial Realm..."

Luo Qiui instantly realized sothing was wrong.

She quickly took out her weapon to block in front of her.

Bang bang!

The two strikes from the Space Palm Technique hit their mark, colliding with an ice spike sword and sending an imdiate burst of icy light splashing outward.

Luo Qiui staggered back three steps before stopping.

"What trendous force."

She thought to herself, channeling her True Yuan to ease the numbness in her arms.

"Indeed, as the leader of the Heavenly Jade Sect, even with your injuries, you still have such combat strength."

Chen Yu said aloud, his voice betraying neither disappointnt nor excitent but rather a surge of eager fighting spirit.

Whoom!

A terrifying Blood Crystal Fla power surged through his entire body.

In an instant, golden feathery patterns erged on Chen Yu’s skin, and subtle golden wings seed to appear on his back. An ancient, world-burning bloodline aura spread in all directions.

His opponent was Luo Qiui; even in her weakened state, she could not be underestimated.

"This kid, he actually has such Bloodline Power?"

Luo Qiui felt her blood chill under the imnse pressure of the powerful bloodline.

Chen Yu dived from the sky, his punch thundering down.

Boom~

The black punch seed to ignite suddenly, flas erupting around it and transforming into a teor-like attack that plumted towards the earth.

Luo Qiui looked up at the sky, feeling the earth-shaking might of the terrifying attack.

Ice Blade Slash!

With a calm face, she swung her ice spike sword, and suddenly a massive beam of icy Sword Qi materialized, reaching forty to fifty feet long.

The Sword Qi was incredibly sharp, the surrounding coldness chilling to the bone, confronting Chen Yu’s punch.

Boom!

The two forces clashed with a fierce impact. The icy Sword Qi sliced halfway into the punch’s radiance but was then shattered by the colossal force within the punch.

The energies exploded instantly, intertwining in all directions.

Chen Yu’s activation of the Golden Winged Phoenix’s fiery bloodline power allowed his attack to counteract the frost and instantly engulfed all the chill, lashing toward Luo Qiui.

"How is this possible?"

Her expression shifted dramatically upon witnessing this scene.

Although she had sustained serious injuries in her fight with Shen Ji, she had already taken the "Heavenly Returning Pill" and her wounds had healed by thirty to forty percent.

Yet, to her surprise, she found herself at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation!

Swoosh!

Luo Qiui lunged with her sword again, her biting cold Sword Intent filling the air and weaving into a net of icy Sword Qi.

Chen Yu t her head-on, unwavering, launching punches and kicks.

The greatest enhancent of the Golden Winged Phoenix Bloodline was in vitality and aggressiveness.

Chen Yu’s attacks were overwhelmingly powerful and intense. With the increase from the bloodline fla, he was able to subdue Luo Qiui to so degree.

After a few exchanges, Luo Qiui felt even more shocked.

Chen Yu’s defensive power was like an impenetrable fortress. Her attacks might occasionally wound Chen Yu, leaving only minor cuts.

What dumbfounded her even more was that these small wounds would disappear after a short while, completely healed.

Yangming Sword Point!

Chen Yu summoned the force of the Blood Crystal Fla, concentrating it in his right pointer finger and transforming it into a column of bloody Sword Qi that sped forth.

Boom!

The net of icy Sword Qi before Luo Qiui was imdiately pierced open by the column of bloody Sword Qi.

Before the Sword Point even arrived, an overwhelming wave of fiery energy approached her.

"Blood Crystal Fla?"

Luo Qiui’s brows furrowed.

She had thought Chen Yu’s trump card was just his Bloodline Power.

To that, she was not afraid—the Bloodline Power couldn’t last, and once Chen Yu’s bloodline was exhausted, victory would be hers.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu also possessed the Blood Crystal Fla.

This attack was similarly fierce and undoubtedly another one of Chen Yu’s trump cards.

Swoosh!

Luo Qiui swiftly thrusted her sword, her icy sharp Sword Qi piercing toward the imposing Blood Qi Sword Point.

In a flash, the Sword Point obliterated the Sword Qi and ca crashing down.

Boom!

The Yangming Sword Point shattered Luo Qiui’s True Yuan defense and struck her shoulder, tearing away a chunk of flesh.

"Hiss..."

Luo Qiui staggered back six steps, feeling an intense burning pain in her shoulder, and couldn’t help but hiss through clenched teeth.
