Chapter 464: Difficult Decision
“Bang!!!”
With this fall, carrying ten thousand pounds of force, the delicate face of the gentle female cultivator from the Heavenly One Sect made intimate contact with the ground.
“Crack” “Pfft”
First to meet the ground, the gentle female cultivator's head separated from her body, and blood gushed out from the severed neck.
Under such immense power, even the body of a foundation establishment cultivator, refined by spiritual energy, was as fragile as paper.
Moreover, without reaching the golden core realm, and with the Primordial Spirit unprepared, one could not directly exit the body; the vital points of the physical body were the real critical points.
“Slap”
The severed head was tossed a distance away, landing on the ground with a crisp and pleasant sound.
On that exquisite jade-like face, a look of panic still remained, but the color in her eyes had already faded.
In Liu Yu's spiritual perception, the life force of the Heavenly One Sect female cultivator rapidly weakened, like a slowly burning candle flame extinguished by a gust of wind, completely snuffed out in the blink of an eye.
“Rip”
Liu Yu grasped her remains with both hands and gently pulled, causing the female cultivator's corpse to be torn apart, blood splattering everywhere.
This was not due to any "strange" obsession of his, but rather to prevent this woman from "coming back to life."
When an immortal cultivator reaches the foundation establishment realm, they have already stepped into the world of cultivating immortality, and there might be some bizarre and peculiar secret techniques that could allow one to "rise from the dead."
Thus, to be safe, destroying the corpse and erasing traces had become the norm, and Liu Yu had always acted this way.
Either don’t do it, or do it thoroughly.
For Liu Yu, the souls under his command would never have complete bodies.
“Thud”
Liu Yu flicked his hands, casually throwing away the remnants of the corpse, like discarding a trivial object.
Then he turned his gaze to the other three members of the Heavenly One Sect.
No matter what calculations were being made outside the secret realm, they wouldn’t affect the situation inside for now. The people of the Holy Flame Sect were still allies, a temporary force that could be relied upon.
Therefore, he planned to secretly stir the situation without revealing his identity.
Since the goal of this trip, the “Three Primordial Fruits,” was already in hand, Liu Yu hoped to leave the secret realm safely, and it would be even better if nothing unexpected happened.
With the death of the gentle female cultivator, the situation immediately underwent a significant change, progressing in favor of the Holy Flame Sect.
After confirming the target's death, the female disciple, Purple Robe, did not rest, but instead turned her target toward another person, her determination to annihilate all four members of the Heavenly One Sect was evident.
At this moment, Ren Hongyan felt the pressure increase sharply.
“Damn it!”
She cursed inwardly, her expression turning somewhat unsightly.
This woman could already barely hold her own against two opponents, and could not spare the effort to rescue her fellow disciple, otherwise, it would give Tang Tianbao a chance to strike; hence, she could only watch helplessly as her junior sister fell.
“Ding dong ding~”
As the pressure mounted, Ren Hongyan moved more urgently, her hand that played the Crimson Ancient Zither almost leaving an afterimage.
One by one, illusory weapons like swords, spears, and halberds were condensed into form, looking solid and exuding considerable power fluctuations, shooting continuously toward Tang Tianbao and Uncle Yang.
“Cling cling”
The weapons soon clashed with the spiritual and magical artifacts, creating sparks and producing deafening explosions.
But even with Ren Hongyan giving it her all, the situation didn’t improve at all.
With the combined efforts of Tang Tianbao and his companion, even if they couldn't take this woman down, they could still firmly suppress her.
