Chapter 596: Chapter 0591: Defeating Zhao Ru

Seeing Chen Yu and Zhao Ru about to fight, the other three from the Chi Hong Realm were somewhat expectant.

Zhao Ru’s strength within the Chi Hong Realm was unrivaled beneath the Half-step Sky Sea Realm.

The power Chen Yu had shown just now in his thunderous decimation of the Evil Wolf Boss was also exceptionally formidable, leaving them hesitant to say who was stronger between the two.

Whoosh!

A golden light flashed, and Zhao Ru’s hand revealed a thin golden sword, from which an intensely sharp sword Qi, like golden lightning, came flying through the void.

So fast!

Chen Yu hurriedly wielded his sword, blocking Zhao Ru’s strike.

In fact, it was only because his Demon Flood Dragon Sword was so large that he was able to block in time; otherwise, he might not have managed.

As expected of the Chi Hong Realm’s number one beneath the Half-step Sky Sea Realm, her reputation was well-deserved.

Moreover, Zhao Ru had once caused an extraordinary phenomenon to occur with the Void Netherworld Stele.

Boom!

Chen Yu channeled his True Yuan and immediately counterattacked, slashing out a colossal wave of black Sword Qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhao Ru’s expression remained unchanged, her gaze fixed on Chen Yu as she thrust out three successive swords.

Each thrust possessed extreme penetrating power, with one striking through a weak point in Chen Yu’s attack and aiming directly at him.

Demon Scale Armor!

Chen Yu stimulated the third demonic pattern, manifesting a pitch-black and domineering set of armor atop his Secret Pattern Demon Body.

Ding dang!

That thrust, although it pierced a hole in the armor, failed to injure Chen Yu.

On the other hand, Zhao Ru was somewhat surprised by Chen Yu’s defensive power as she rapidly retreated backward, unleashing a sword strike to block Chen Yu’s Sword Qi onslaught.

“Who would have thought that Chen Yu’s defensive power was so strong that he could block Senior Sister Zhao’s sword!”

A woman exclaimed in astonishment.

Zhao Ru’s prowess in the Sword Dao was unquestionably powerful, particularly as she cultivated the Golden Dao, her attacks sharp and unstoppable.

Even cultivators from the Chi Hong Realm who excelled in defense had great difficulty blocking Zhao Ru’s Sword Dao attacks.

“Senior Sister Zhao hasn’t exerted her full strength yet. If she were to use the kill move from the Golden Ling Sword Technique, Chen Yu definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”

A man in yellow robes said.

After a brief clash, Chen Yu recognized Zhao Ru’s formidability and invoked the power of the Red-eyed Jiao bloodline, emanating a scorching dragon aura.

“Not this bloodline power again!”

Zhao Ru kept a close watch on Chen Yu.

The bloodline power surging within him was exceedingly strong, and somewhat special—it didn’t seem like something that could originate from a human.

After invoking the Red-eyed Jiao bloodline, Chen Yu’s aura became unstoppable, causing the others to retreat in shock.

Only Zhao Ru was able to withstand this oppressive aura and launch an attack.

Whoosh!

She suddenly thrust out a sword, surpassing her previous efforts, its blinding golden light aimed straight for Chen Yu’s eyes.

“Zhao Ru, surely this isn’t the extent of your abilities!”

Chen Yu uttered with a faint smile, fiercely sweeping out his sword in a formidable manner, accompanied by black Sword Qi and rolling flames.

The Red-eyed Jiao bloodline could further enhance the power of the Demon Flood Dragon Sword.

Boom bang!

The Sword Qi burst forth, shattering Zhao Ru’s sharp gold sword light.

“Gold Shattering Sword!”

Sensing Chen Yu’s formidable combat strength, Zhao Ru also got serious, pointing out with her sword and releasing a cluster of overlapping golden Sword Qi, thrusting forward with an edge that seemed capable of piercing and shattering everything.

Demon Light Sword Spiral!

Chen Yu also executed a kill move from the Devil Wind Sword Technique, instantly slashing out over a dozen strikes, forming a swirling vortex of Demon Swords.

Boom hiss~

The two potent sword techniques collided, cutting into each other and dissipating into nothing.

After activating the Red-eyed Jiao bloodline, Chen Yu’s attacks also received a boost from the Fire Dao’s power, making this technique even stronger, matching Zhao Ru’s Gold Shattering Sword.

“How can this be?”

Zhao Ru was somewhat astonished.

Chen Yu’s defenses were so formidable, and yet his attacks were also able to rival her own.

“Radiant Gold Sword!”

Zhao Ru suddenly leaped up, her treasured sword exuding an exceptionally brilliant golden radiance, too blinding to look at directly.

“Such piercing brightness!”

The man in yellow robes and others, including Ye Luofeng, felt a sharp pain in their eyes.

The eyes are a relatively fragile part of the body, and if they continued to keep them open, they could potentially be damaged. Many instinctively covered their eyes or closed them.

Whoosh!

Amidst this burst of blinding golden light, an even more dazzling golden Sword Qi descended from the sky!

This was Zhao Ru’s “Radiant Gold Sword,” fearsome in presence, but in reality, its power was less than that of the Gold Shattering Sword; it was just that this sword technique could disrupt the opponent, making it harder to defend against.

An ordinary person would likely be in turmoil by now, unable to analyze and counter accurately.

But Chen Yu was different!

He was enpowered by the Red-eyed Jiao’s bloodline, his eyes also strengthened by the bloodline, with a thin layer of red flames hovering over the surface.

At first, it didn’t affect him until that sword descended, and he only started to feel a bit of stinging; overall, it was ineffective.

“This sword isn’t strong!”

Chen Yu was confident in his heart.

He chose to disregard this sword and launched an attack at Zhao Ru!

After deploying that Radiant Gold Sword, it would be Zhao Ru’s most relaxed moment.

Demon Extinguishing Claw!

Chen Yu harnessed the first demonic pattern, casting forth a claw of pitch-black demonic light, its fiery flames billowing with immense power.

“What?”

Zhao Ru looked shocked.

Normally, when she used this move, her enemies would fall into utter disarray, frightened, unable to make sound judgments, merely relying on luck.

But their definite action was to defend against this sword.

Yet Chen Yu, unexpectedly, ignored it and attacked her instead!

Whoosh!

Zhao Ru hurriedly thrusted out with her sword, managing only to slice a small gash in the Demon Extinguishing Claw.

Boom bang!

The Demon Extinguishing Claw descended, and Zhao Ru held her sword horizontally, unleashing wild sword energy to form a barrier of Sword Qi.

However, Chen Yu’s move was exceptionally powerful.

Ultimately, the Demon Extinguishing Claw burst through the Sword Qi defense, a surge of demonic flames hitting Zhao Ru and causing her to fly backward, retreating over a dozen steps.

And on the other side, Chen Yu took the full brunt of Zhao Ru’s Radiant Gold Sword. His chest armor shattered, leaving a shallow mark on his body, which then healed in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu launched an attack like thunder, shooting out a Yangming Sword Point with incredibly fast speed.

Zhao Ru realized the extraordinariness of Chen Yu’s move, knowing that if she were struck by it, she would undoubtedly lose.

As the top competitor below the Half-step Sky Sea Realm in the Chi Hong Realm, she naturally wouldn’t concede easily.

Whoosh!

She quickly unleashed a faint golden sword trail, slower in speed.

It was hard for those like the man in yellow and the rest to imagine that Zhao Ru, who was known for her fierce and powerful attacks, would use such a sword technique.

“Spatial power!”

Chen Yu saw through the mechanics of the move.

With Zhao Ru’s current state, it was unlikely she could block Chen Yu’s Yangming Sword Point accurately, but the sword she used held a bit of the Spatial Realm, and it hit the Yangming Sword Point precisely.

Splat! Pop!

The two powerful piercing attacks canceled each other out.

When Zhao Ru released her sword strike, Chen Yu felt a surge of the Spatial Realm.

This outcome was within his expectations, and he had already prepared his next move.

Boom!

He thrust out his palm, dark as a wall, rapidly pressing towards Zhao Ru.

Chen Yu also used the Space Palm Technique.

Impossible to dodge!

Zhao Ru swung her sword in an attempt to fend off the blow, splitting the palm, but the leftover force of the attack hit her body, worsening her injuries and causing her to slide backwards.

“Do you want to continue?”

Chen Yu’s cold voice echoed.

Whoosh!

He had already used the Demon Dragon Shadow Control, rapidly closing in on Zhao Ru.

“No need, the Heavenly Jade Bamboo is yours,”

Zhao Ru admitted defeat.

She found it hard to believe she could actually lose to someone in the late Guiyuan Realm.

Chen Yu immediately ceased his attack.

He didn’t hold any deep grudge against Zhao Ru. He was able to enter the lake and scavenge for treasures because of her.

The only reason they fought was over the same treasure.

Now that Chen Yu had won, the treasure was his, plain and simple.

“The Heavenly Jade Bamboo, what exactly is it?”

“No idea!”

The man in yellow and the others speculated, knowing that the Heavenly Jade Bamboo must be something precious.

However, with Zhao Ru defeated, they dared not contend with Chen Yu for it.

“The Heavenly Jade Bamboo, a rare treasure that can enhance a Spiritual Body’s aptitude!”

Chen Yu was extremely enticed and approached the Heavenly Jade Bamboo.

At the same time, he kept his guard up against Zhao Ru, fearing she might ambush him for the Heavenly Jade Bamboo and betray him.

But Zhao Ru wasn’t such a narrow-minded person; she accepted her loss.

Just then…

“The Heavenly Jade Bamboo?”

Another voice rang out.

Chen Yu and the rest turned to see a man approaching from afar, dressed in blue, with a fair face and an extraordinary air about him, looking very scholarly, more like a literati than a fighter.

However, his fast speed revealed his not weak strength.

“Leave the Heavenly Jade Bamboo to me, and take whatever else you want,”

The sophisticated man fixed his gaze on the Heavenly Jade Bamboo and spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Chen Yu inwardly cursed, thinking that despite the man’s refined appearance, he was still intent on a forceful robbery.

Chen Yu was certainly not going to agree; his Spiritual Body’s aptitude was poor, and he needed the Heavenly Jade Bamboo, and besides, it was his reward for defeating Zhao Ru.

He reached out to pluck the Heavenly Jade Bamboo.

“How dare you! You seek death by not following my command,”

The scholarly man furrowed his brow, releasing a strong aura. The surrounding clouds surged wildly, and gusty winds howled.

The man who had appeared utterly refined a moment ago, now gave everyone a terrifying sense of danger!

“Half-step Sky Sea!”

Zhao Ru’s face showed a hint of alarm.

The newcomer was a Half-step Sky Sea Realm powerhouse, and this matter was out of her league. Even if he wanted to share in the plunder, she couldn’t stop him.

At the same time, she was very curious; this man was neither from the Chi Hong Realm nor the Kunyun Realm, and she had an understanding of the Half-step Sky Sea experts from the Sky Wolf Realm. Who was this man?

Whoosh!

The elegant man stretched out a finger, and a streak of blue Sword Qi shot out, piercing through a weak spot in the Array, aiming for Chen Yu.

The sword light was graceful yet sharp, with incredible speed, somewhat resembling the attack unleashed by Fang Yanling.

Chen Yu felt that he could hardly evade it, and his Demon Scale Armor would also struggle to block this Half-step Sky Sea Realm’s sword!

Even if Chen Yu survived this sword strike, the elegant man would surely continue attacking. He wasn’t as friendly as he seemed on the surface; he was decisive and deadly.

Having no other choice, Chen Yu had to look for another way out!

Whoosh!

As the blue-clothed man’s sword swiftly flew towards him, Chen Yu attempted to dodge but only made things worse, directing the sword toward his heart!

The sword pierced his heart, penetrating the Secret Pattern Demon Body and causing blood to splatter out!

Thump!

Chen Yu’s body fell into the lake.

“Heh, idiot!”

The sophisticated man chuckled lightly and entered the barrier.

Meanwhile, Ye Luofeng and the Red Flame King showed signs of fear and promptly left the barrier.

Zhao Ru found it strange. Chen Yu had been killed, but the expressions of Ye Luofeng and the Red Flame King seemed off.

“Hmm?”

The elegant man sent his Spiritual Sense into the lakebed, but failed to find Chen Yu’s body.

At that moment, at the edge of the lake, a figure suddenly burst out—it was none other than Chen Yu!

Whoosh!

Chen Yu moved with exceptional speed, dragging a black wind dragon’s tail, and he threaded through a weak spot in the Array right in front of him.

This scene left Zhao Ru and the others stunned, their minds momentarily short-circuiting.

Even the scholarly man paused, showing a hint of surprise.
