Chapter 713 - 713 64 Mountain Peak Part 2
713: Chapter 64 Mountain Peak (Part 2) 713: Chapter 64 Mountain Peak (Part 2) Given the previous lesson, this time Lu Yuzhen dared not be the slightest bit careless.
Instead of choosing to take the blow, he turned evasive, his whole body dispersed into countless paper snowflakes.
Just before scattering, he suddenly exerted force, throwing the White Ghost backward and out of the barrier…
Wu Zhexian’s punch was at a very tricky angle.
If Lu Yuzhen took it head-on, he would be injured again and fall into a passive position.
If Lu Yuzhen narrowly dodged, the lethal force of the punch would swallow the “White Ghost” behind him, annihilating it.
From start to finish,
Wu Zhexian had no intention of letting this Yin Mountain traitor go.
Unfortunately,
in a battle within the Yang God Realm, gaining an upper hand often requires certain sacrifices.
Facing Wu Zhexian’s punch, Lu Yuzhen chose to make a sacrifice…
He saved the White Ghost, the punch hit no one but accurately struck the edge of the White Paper Barrier!
Enormous golden light descended like the sea, the force gushed out.
The freshly formed barrier hadn’t been fortified, couldn’t withstand such power, and was instantly torn open a gap!
Snow-white paper fragments from the Heavenly Peak desperately rushed to fill the breaking hole.
Wu Zhexian retreated a hundred feet swiftly, arriving at True Master Jun Shan’s place.
While Lu Yuzhen re-formed himself at the Heavenly Peak, showing a look of lingering fear.
“Truly frightening.”
Lu Yuzhen stared at his palm, smiling as he said, “Had this punch hit the right place…
would I have been killed just like that?”
Wu Zhexian did not respond.
He knew very well such words were merely nonsense.
With Lu Yuzhen possessing the “Undying Spring”, unless there was a massive gap, who could kill him?
“Perhaps I can’t kill you today.”
Wu Zhexian softly said, “But it doesn’t matter…
you are already close to death.”
“Oh?”
Lu Yuzhen chuckled, unconcerned.
He slowly descended to the ground.
The two Yang Gods were only a hundred feet apart.
The once abundant paper snow falling now thinly, due to having to fill the barrier gap…
Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master caught in between, completely petrified.
These two Evil Sect leaders had no idea what to do.
They wanted to leave…
but in front was Wu Zhexian, behind was Lu Yuzhen.
Either side meant certain death.
The most important thing was,
they had glimpsed the secret of the “Undying Spring”.
“I understand what you mean…”
Lu Yuzhen stood with his hands behind, gently speaking, “As long as the news of ‘Undying Spring’ gets out, all heroes and warriors in the world will swarm into the South Border…
The so-called guilt of possessing a treasure.”
No matter how strong Lu Yuzhen was, he was only one person.
“You are indeed very strong.”
Wu Zhexian, an extremely proud person, had to admit that Lu Yuzhen was genuinely remarkable.
He had reached the Fourth Realm of Yang God.
But…
Lu Yuzhen’s realm was likely higher than his own!
The other side might be in the fifth realm, possibly the sixth realm or higher…
How many years of cultivation did it take to reach such a level?
Wu Zhexian indeed admired Lu Yuzhen’s ability to wait for so many years without causing any outcomes of karma, to one day emerge and create havoc!
But regrettably,
none of these matter anymore.
When the spotlight is on in a fleeting moment, ultimately leading to one’s demise, those glories are illusory.
“Regrettably…”
“No matter how strong you are, there’s a limit to it.”
Wu Zhexian said expressionlessly, “Unbridled’s ‘Free Wanderer’, Da Sui Sword Palace’s ‘Zhao Chunyang’, Qin Ancestor, and Zen Master…
Any one of them I mentioned just now, any single strike, would be enough to easily annihilate you.”
There are differences even among Yang Gods.
In life and death confrontations of equal realms, while the Undying Spring can work wonders,
but before absolute strength suppression…
the Undying Spring cannot reverse the outcome.
Just as in the battle that just ended, even carrying the complete “Undying Spring”, with his opponent being Wu Zhexian, the White Ghost still only had one end – death.
Once Lu Yuzhen’s possession of “Undying Spring” becomes known, the top-level Yang Gods would seek him out.
The Taoist sect has remained hidden from the world for years, with all sect affairs managed by Chong Kan.
Only because Free Wanderer was secluded on Tianyuan Mountain to extend life through the death-defying trial…
If he could obtain the drop of “Undying Spring,” extending life would no longer be an issue.
One drop would solve the life-extension problem.
Likewise, Zhao Chunyang, Qin Ancestor…
Wouldn’t any of them desire to get the “Undying Spring”?
‘That’s right,’
Lu Yuzhen sighed softly, agreeing, “If news of the Undying Spring spread, I would indeed be in a difficult situation…
possibly even a death trap.
And yes, any one of those you mentioned could easily kill me.
But, how will this news spread?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhexian remained expressionless.
However, Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master felt dejection.
When gods fight, the innocent suffer.
The paper snow roared.
With the barrier freshly torn, even the paper surging to fill couldn’t keep pace.
The two locked eyes.
“Don’t despair just yet.”
Lu Yuzhen noted their expressions.
He let out a ghostly smile, saying, “Honestly, I did think of killing you both…
but today is a grand day, best not to tarnish it with blood.
You cannot return to the Great Chu either way.
If you are willing to follow me like the White Ghost, not only can I spare your lives, but I’ll also grant you a wisp of ‘Undying Spring Water Vapor’.”
“This…”
Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master were stunned.
Their expressions turned complex…
They had always abhorred the Paperman Sect.
Before tonight’s meeting, they never thought things would come to this.
“Wait!”
Mo Taoist had a sudden realization.
Piecing together fragments in his mind, he grasped something absurd.
If the White Ghost’s “Undying Spring Water Vapor” indeed came from Lu Yuzhen, then from the start, this assault on the Paperman Sect was a conspiracy.
The loudest voice had already submitted beforehand.
Could there be anything more ridiculous?
Clearly, the “betrayal” proposed by the Crown Prince of Li Kingdom…
Must have been part of the plot.
Mo Taoist stared at Lu Yuzhen, hoarsely speaking, “So, the one from Li Kingdom is also helping you?”
“More or less.”
“The White Ghost wanted to ‘live,’ so I gave him the Undying Spring and let him ‘live.’ The prince of Li Kingdom didn’t want Great Chu to easily control the South Border, leading to tonight’s Three Great Sects ‘betrayal.'”
Lu Yuzhen nodded with a smile, “Everyone contributed and gained what they needed, a natural course achieved… Sometimes the world is that simple.
But to gain, something has to be given up.
That’s the price of equivalent exchange and karma.
If you want to live, show me your sincerity.”
Snow-white vapor emanated from the Paperman Sect.
“Now, it’s time to decide.”
He looked at Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master, softly asking, “Do you leave standing with the Undying Spring or kneel here to die?”
