Chapter 294: The Three Souls and Seven Spirits! You Played Me!
Li Yanchu had no patience to waste words with He Yu. They’d never seen eye to eye anyway, and besides, he was carrying out justice in Heaven’s name, why bother with such nonsense?
As Li Yanchu closed in, He Yu reacted with startling speed. The five copper coins tied to his waist with a red cord flared with a crimson light, wrapping around him in a protective glow. It was a defensive magical artifact.
At this moment, He Yu showed a flash of decisiveness. Unfortunately, he had run into Li Yanchu. With just a single stride, Li Yanchu crossed ten zhang in an instant.
Boom! The air cracked like mountains splitting.
Surging blood and qi burst from his fist in blazing heat, and with one punch, he shattered He Yu’s protective artifact to pieces. With that, He Yu shuddered as though struck by lightning.
Bang!
Just then, Li Yanchu’s palm slammed against his chest with a dull thud. The black shadow clinging to He Yu’s back was blasted clear of him. Back in Mount Jinting’s Blissful Land, he had used this very strike to drive out the heart demon that had possessed others.
He Yu gasped raggedly, and his lungs were searing as though they were on fire, as if they might explode. Unable to bear it, he dropped to one knee, and his consciousness grew hazy.
That palm of Li Yanchu’s had carried not only divine judgment, but personal grievance as well. He spread his fingers wide, and spiritual force surged through his palm, condensing into a crushing pressure.
Divine Astral Hands! Crane Control Hand and Dragonbind Hand!
That shadowy figure was instantly caught and held fast in his grasp.
At this time, Li Yanchu ignored the half-kneeling He Yu and fixed his gaze instead on the shadow. The shadow was shrouded in black qi, its face indistinct. It writhed ceaselessly in his grip, and its expression betrayed a plea for mercy.
