Chapter 459: The Legacy of the Ancestors
After the target disappeared, dozens of puppets turned their gaze towards Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, feeling a bit of a chill run down his spine.
As the saying goes, "two fists cannot contend with four hands."
Without a significant gap in "quality," even if he put forth all his strength against dozens of second-tier puppets, he wouldn't last long.
Realizing the danger, Liu Yu suddenly stopped and quickly changed direction, rushing back to the location he had come from.
The hollow eyes of the dozens of puppets focused intently on him, and those with long-range attack capabilities had already unleashed beams of various colors.
Dozens of beams of attack, each with different attributes.
Some were as scorching as flames, others colder than frost, or carried a sharp aura.
While running, Liu Yu drew out the Dark Moon Sword and swept it fiercely behind him.
"Bang! Bang!"
The continuous explosions sounded as the beams of light were blocked.
The dispersed force struck him but was deflected by the silver-blue glow on his skin, leaving him unscathed.
Fortunately, due to the distance, most of the puppets were unable to attack him.
After scanning the area with his spiritual consciousness and locking onto the puppets that were targeting him, Liu Yu's expression turned grim. He stepped on his footwork technique "Chasing Stars and Catching the Moon" and hurried back to Tang Tianbao and the others.
With the protection of the Holy Flame Token, the puppets lost their target and began to disperse.
"It was my oversight, Tianbao. Are you alright, Friend Hong?" Tang Tianbao said with a hint of apology.
"It's nothing. Hong is tough-skinned and thick-fleshed. This level of power is still bearable; it’s no big deal," Liu Yu nodded, fully embodying the "tough guy" role.
With a few exchanged words, the incident was brushed aside, and the interactions between him, Tang Tianbao, and Zhou Ziwen had always been harmonious.
After all, as an alchemist, he was capable of creating significant value as a cultivator, and the Holy Flame Sect provided spiritual herbs for him to refine elixirs. Their cooperation had always been pleasant.
Who would dislike spiritual stones?
Other than one individual escaping, nineteen cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect met their demise on the spot, leaving behind quite a haul.
The group arrived at the square and began to clean up the aftermath.
"Friend Hong, take these," Tang Tianbao said, handing over two storage bags.
"I haven't contributed anything; how can I accept this?" Liu Yu declined politely, though he showed no hesitation in receiving the two storage bags from the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators.
Although he hadn't gotten any kills, as part of a team action, he naturally had the right to participate in the spoils.
If he claimed to be noble, wouldn’t that, in a sense, mean he was not in sync with the team?
From historical events, such behavior was quite dangerous.
"We are all in the same boat now; benefits should naturally be shared. Friend Hong, don’t be too polite," Tang Tianbao said, as expected.
His words sounded a bit cheesy, but combined with his sincere tone and character, it didn't seem insincere.
Liu Yu smiled brightly at this, and the seven of them once again enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere.
They rummaged through the storage bags, magical artifacts, and other spoils, using the fireball technique to destroy the corpses. The seven were not newcomers to the cultivating immortality world, so they handled these tasks with ease.
Soon, the scene was cleaned up "spotlessly."
Under Tang Tianbao's guidance, the distribution of the spoils went smoothly, and everyone appeared relatively satisfied, at least on the surface.
"Saint Son, there is still one fish that slipped through the net from the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Should we search the first level thoroughly to find this person and eliminate this hidden danger before moving on?!" one of the disciples asked.
While speaking, he scanned the surroundings, especially the dark corners under the surrounding buildings.
