Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Help Me Cut Off My Hands and Feet

Swoosh—

Just as Li Chu was about to deal a deadly blow to Li Ziyue, he suddenly felt a cold surge of killing intent from behind.

Li Chu reacted, attempting to turn around to dodge the incoming attack, but felt a sharp pain in his back.

Subsequently, a sharp sword pierced directly through his chest from behind.

Intense Sword Intent rampaged within Li Chu’s body as if intending to shatter his frame.

However, Li Chu was no ordinary individual; after being ambushed, his body transformed into a cloud of blood mist, swiftly drifting away, before gradually condensing back into human form.

The one who ambushed Li Chu was none other than Zhou Xiaoyun.

Li Chu’s blood mist technique both envied and shocked Zhou Xiaoyun, as he had originally planned to execute another move to completely annihilate Li Chu, yet had not anticipated Li Chu escaping in such a manner.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyun had missed the prime opportunity to kill Li Chu, and thus chose not to engage in further combat.

He held a sharp sword and slashed at Li Chu, the powerful Sword Qi forcing Li Chu to employ his strength to resist.

At the moment Li Chu split into his blood mist form, Zhou Xiaoyun immediately rescued Li Ziyue and fled with her.

Observing Zhou Xiaoyun’s actions filled Li Chu with both rage and confusion.

After all, Zhou Xiaoyun’s actions seemed to betray the Red Soul Hall, but Li Chu felt something was amiss.

All martial artists from the Red Soul Hall were afflicted with the Blood Soul Restriction; if Zhou Xiaoyun were to betray the Red Soul Hall, he would undoubtedly suffer torments worse than death.

"Could it be, he is aiding people from the Divine Flame Alliance to gain their favor, then infiltrate their ranks?"

Li Chu thought to himself while covering his wound.

Yet he felt it was impossible, for he understood Lin Chen’s character, and the latter was unlikely to be deceived by Zhou Xiaoyun’s scheme.

Moreover, Zhou Xiaoyun’s sword strike was clearly aimed with the intention to kill him; there was definitely no misunderstanding.

Li Chu’s eyes revealed a cold killing intent, as he had already sentenced Zhou Xiaoyun to death in his heart. Given the chance, he would definitely cast Zhou Xiaoyun to his demise.

...

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyun had rescued Li Ziyue and made their escape, repeatedly making sure that Li Chu did not follow. There was no denying that the talisman inscription Lin Chen had given him was incredibly useful.

Zhou Xiaoyun’s actions raised doubts in Li Ziyue.

After all, he was a man of the Red Soul Hall, and Li Ziyue did not believe a word he said.

Li Ziyue thought to herself, could it be that he was charmed by her beauty to the point of betraying his own sect?

Li Ziyue pondered for a moment but dismissed the idea, believing that people from the Red Soul Hall couldn’t be that foolish.

What virtues did she, Li Ziyue, possess that could bewitch a man to such head-over-heels folly?

"Why exactly did you rescue me?"

With doubts in her heart, Li Ziyue asked.

"I am now with the Divine Flame Alliance."

Zhou Xiaoyun responded indifferently, not willing to explicitly state the fact that he now regarded Lin Chen as his master.

After all, it wasn’t something honorable to speak of; better left unmentioned if possible.

After Lin Chen took Zhou Xiaoyun under his command, he did not rush to appear at the Grey Marsh Plain together, but instead split up to each find the martial artists of the Divine Flame Alliance.

Lin Chen was well aware that to win this contest, it was crucial to unite the martial artists of the Divine Flame Alliance.

"People of the Divine Flame Alliance, you?"

"Do you really think that, by saying such a thing, on top of rescuing me, you could deceive me in a few words, making me trust you so you can infiltrate our Divine Flame Alliance? That’s too simplistic."

Li Ziyue said to Zhou Xiaoyun coldly.

"I have already pledged allegiance to Young Master Lin Chen and now serve him as my master."

Zhou Xiaoyun explained helplessly when he saw that Li Ziyue did not believe him.

Li Ziyue paused for a moment on hearing this.

This person in front of her has actually accepted Lin Chen as his master?

"Could it be that he defeated you, so you now serve him as your master?"

Li Ziyue gave Zhou Xiaoyun a probing look, asking with curiosity.

Though demon cultivators from Red Soul Hall were detestable, they seldom lied. So when Zhou Xiaoyun said he served Lin Chen as his master, Li Ziyue believed it somewhat.

After all, there was no advantage for him to say so.

"This matter... it’s irrelevant to you."

Zhou Xiaoyun refused to elaborate further.

"Hmph, how can I trust you if you don’t explain everything to me today?"

Despite somewhat believing him, Li Ziyue remained skeptical as long as Zhou Xiaoyun did not disclose the full details.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyun was about to leave, Li Ziyue immediately followed.

"Where are you going? Wait for me."

"Why does where I am going concern you? Better not follow, lest I’m tempted to harm you."

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Li Ziyue and spoke indifferently.

Li Ziyue felt somewhat embarrassed because she had come to believe Zhou Xiaoyun.

After all, if Zhou Xiaoyun had any ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have stabbed a demon cultivator from the Red Soul Hall and nearly taken his life.

"Are you now going to cleanse yourself of the Blood Fiend Qi you just contracted?"

Li Ziyue looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, guessing his intent and asked lightly.

Zhou Xiaoyun simply nodded.

"Yes, you’d better cleanse that Blood Fiend Qi from your body soon, too. Otherwise, once it enters the system, your Spiritual Power will be affected, and it could even lead to an explosive death."

Zhou Xiaoyun said solemnly.

"If that’s the case, then you help me."

"Please, go ahead and chop off both my hands and feet!"
