Chapter 204 One Sword Slays the Heavenly Venerable!

"Who are you?"

A genuine look of confusion suddenly appeared on Hei Qing's face. He even picked at his ear, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all.

This question, filled with contempt, was like the last spark that ignited a powder keg, instantly causing Mo Yu's anger to erupt completely!

"Insects! This Heavenly Venerable will annihilate you, body and soul!"

Demon Rain let out a deafening roar, and the towering black vapor around it transformed into a ferocious giant tentacle, carrying a terrifying power that could corrode everything. It tore through space and smashed violently toward Black Steel!
Faced with this terrifying attack, Hei Qing was not alarmed but delighted, his eyes blazing with fierce fighting spirit. He turned to Lu Yu beside him and excitedly shouted, "Lu kid, give this guy to me! Nobody is allowed to interfere. It's a good opportunity for me to stretch my muscles!"

Seeing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly and said calmly, "I hope you enjoy yourself, senior."

Having said that, he stopped paying attention to the imminent battle in the air, and slowly lowered his gaze to the Yunlan Sect below, which was already in chaos and everyone was in danger. His eyes became cold and indifferent.

It's time to deal with these guys who dare to cross the Lingbao Pavilion.

"Senior, please spare your life!"

On the plaza, the elders and disciples of the Yunlan Sect, led by Grand Elder Yun Leng, were already terrified and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Yun Leng's voice trembled as he pleaded urgently, "My lord, please see the truth! Everything was done by Yun Shan alone. He acted unilaterally and attacked Lingbao Pavilion. We were forced into this situation and had no choice but to comply! Please, my lord, spare our lives!"

"We are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, and pledge our allegiance to you, sir. Please, sir, grant us a way to survive!"

Lu Yu's eyes remained indifferent, unmoved. He had heard this kind of excuse far too many times.

However, before Lu Yu could make a move, several Yunlan Sect elders in the crowd exchanged glances, then suddenly took to the air and transformed into several streaks of light, desperately fleeing in different directions!

"Humph."

Lu Yu merely snorted coldly and casually pointed with his fingers.

Several streaks of purple-gold light flashed across the space in an instant.

The fleeing elders froze in mid-air, then, like punctured airbags, silently dissipated into a cloud of blood mist, without even being able to utter a scream.

This ruthless and decisive scene completely shattered the psychological defenses of the remaining Yunlan Sect members. The square fell silent for a moment, with only desperate gasps escaping the air.

Just then, a figure in pure white flew out from behind the main hall—it was Yun Yun. When she saw the domineering figure in the air, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "It's...it's you?!"

She never expected that the person who descended with overwhelming power and held the power of life and death over them was actually the boy who cured her of the poison all those years ago!

Suppressing her shock, Yun Yun hurriedly said, "Please..."

However, before she could even utter her plea, Lu Yu coldly interrupted her.

His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the kneeling crowd below, then turned to Yun Yun, his voice devoid of any emotion: "They all say that everything was forced upon you by your teacher, Yun Shan, and has nothing to do with you. Sect Master Yun Yun, is that really the truth?"

Yun Yun's delicate body trembled violently. Her red lips parted, but she couldn't utter any words of explanation or pleas for mercy.

The image of the almost fanatical admiration and following of their teacher Yunshan by the elders during the sect's expansion flashed through her mind... In the end, she closed her eyes in anguish and chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Lu Yu curled his lips into a cold smile: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

Without further ado, he raised his hand and pressed down with a palm strike from a distance!
A gigantic purple-gold energy palm print materialized out of thin air, carrying destructive power, and crashed down like a divine punishment on the spot where the elders, led by Yun Leng, were located!
boom!
The earth trembled violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a huge palm print crater remained in that area. All the elders who had begged for mercy had been reduced to ashes, their souls and spirits annihilated!

Immediately afterward, Lu Yu formed hand seals, intending to set up a massive spatial barrier across the entire Yunlan Mountain to completely seal off the remaining disciples.

"Oh!"

A deafening roar suddenly rang out! Mo Yu's figure was seen being slammed down from the sky by Hei Qing's punch, crashing heavily into the center of Yunlan Sect's square like a meteorite, instantly creating a huge crater, with debris flying everywhere and dust billowing in the air.

"Damn it... he's actually an eight-star Dou Zun!"

Mo Yu struggled to his feet from the pit, coughing lightly, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the trembling, kneeling Yunlan Sect disciples around him. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly flicked his sleeve!
In an instant, countless strange, pitch-black energy tentacles shot out from his sleeves, frantically wrapping around the terrified disciples as if they had a life of their own!
"Ah! No—no!"

A series of piercing screams immediately rose and fell, echoing throughout the square.

Those disciples entangled by the black tentacles were powerless to resist and withered away at a visible speed in an instant. Their souls and blood were forcibly extracted and transformed into torrents of energy that flowed into Mo Yu's body to repair his injuries!

"stop!!"

Yun Yun watched helplessly as countless sect disciples were brutally slaughtered and absorbed. Her eyes widened in fury, her reason was consumed by anger and despair, and her fighting spirit erupted wildly. She desperately tried to rush forward to stop them.

Lu Yu frowned slightly and flicked his finger. A gentle force struck Yun Yun precisely from behind, causing her to groan as her fighting spirit was instantly sealed. Her vision went black, and she collapsed into unconsciousness.

Lu Yu didn't even glance at the unconscious Yun Yun, and said indifferently to Zi Yan beside him, "Take her away and settle her in a small town far away from Yunlan Sect. From now on, whether she lives or dies is none of our business."

"Okay." Zi Yan replied, picked up the unconscious Yun Yun, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Lu Yu's gaze returned to Mo Yu, who was frantically devouring living beings to heal her injuries, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. How could she allow the other party to heal so recklessly?
"Evil and heretical sects, how dare you act so presumptuously!"

Lu Yu let out a cold shout, and the vast purple-gold Floating Pagoda Battle Qi within his body surged forth without reservation. He pointed his fingers like a sword, aiming at the Demon Rain from afar.

"Roar!"

A majestic fire dragon, formed entirely of purplish-gold flames, roared forth from his fingertips, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything. It tore through the sky and, in its most ferocious form, directly slammed into the demonic rain within the giant pit!
Wherever the fire dragon passed, the space was scorched, distorted, and collapsed. Its overwhelming ferocity caused the expression of the demon rain, who was devouring souls, to change drastically. He had no choice but to hastily take action and mobilize the Black Water of the Sky to counterattack!
Boom!

The two collided violently, but instead of a deafening roar, there was only a frenzied interplay of extreme heat and chilling cold, which erupted into a thick white mist that filled the sky, accompanied by a constant hissing sound of corrosion.

"Oh!"

This stalemate did not last long. A deep, muffled thud came from within the white mist, and then a slightly disheveled figure was sent flying backward. Each step he took left deep cracks in the stone slabs of the square.

Mo Yu steadied himself, his face turning extremely grim. He looked down at the charred marks on his sleeves and the still lingering purple-gold flames, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes: "Damn brat! What kind of flame is that?!"

In their first encounter, he was unexpectedly taken aback by the opponent's strange flames and found himself at a disadvantage!
"Hmph! Of course, it's the flame that can kill you!"

Lu Yu snorted coldly, said no more, and raised his hand to strike out with a palm. The purple-gold flame palm print tore through the sky, carrying a terrifyingly high temperature capable of burning everything, heading straight for the demonic rain.

Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he suddenly formed a strange hand seal with both hands. The black water vapor around him burst into flames as if boiling, and an even more terrifying aura suddenly erupted!

"Netherworld Soul-Burning Secret Technique!"

With a low roar, his aura surged wildly in a short time, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Seven-Star Dou Zun and reaching the level of the Eight-Star Dou Zun!

"Heh heh, playing with secret techniques? Let me have a go at you, an eight-star Dou Zun!"

Seeing this, Hei Qing, who had been unable to restrain himself in the air, laughed wildly, his blood surging, and he was about to pounce down.

"Senior Hei Qing, there's no need for now."

Lu Yu shook his head slightly, stopping Hei Qing. He calmly looked at the surging aura of Mo Yu and said indifferently, "Leave this person to me."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu's hands flashed out a hand seal, and an equally ancient and violent wave emanated from his body.

"Heaven-Burning Spirit-Igniting Secret Technique - Spirit-Igniting Transformation!"

boom!
Lu Yu's aura soared like a rocket, instantly breaking through the barrier and stabilizing at the level of a five-star Dou Zun! Although his level was still lower than Mo Yu's, the purple-gold flames swirling around him became increasingly dazzling and noble, exuding overwhelming power.

"Playing tricks! Even if you're upgraded to five stars, you're still no match for me!"

Sensing that his opponent was still not as strong as him, Mo Yu grinned maliciously, and his boundless black water energy transformed into a roaring giant python, tearing at him.

Lu Yu's eyes were icy cold as he ignored the roaring energy python that was charging towards him. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up.

The next moment, three flames of different colors slowly emerged from his palm—the noble and profound purple-gold Floating Pagoda Flame, the icy and bone-chilling ice-blue Ice Soul Frost Flame, and the raging and blazing cyan Earth Core Flame!
"melt!"

With a low shout, the three strange flames, as if drawn by an invisible force, suddenly merged together, transforming into a three-foot-long flaming sword. On the sword's blade, purple-gold, ice-blue, and cyan flames blended perfectly, flowing slowly and radiating a terrifyingly high temperature and sharpness that made the heavens and earth tremble!

Low-level Heavenly Rank Battle Technique: Great Luo Heavenly Flame Sword!

Holding the flaming longsword formed by the fusion of three different flames, Lu Yu seemingly casually slashed down at the oncoming demonic rain and the giant energy python it unleashed!
There was no deafening sonic boom, no dazzling brilliance.

Only a thin, three-colored line of fire silently streaked across the space.

Where the fire passed, the ferocious energy python vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

Mo Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief and horror. Before he could react, his body was as fragile as glass, neatly split in two by an invisible blade, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

The next moment, terrifying tri-colored flames surged wildly from the cut, completely engulfing and burning both halves of his body!
In the final instant before her consciousness was completely extinguished by the strange fire, Mo Yu used her last strength to utter a hoarse and unwilling question:

"What...what kind of fighting technique is this...?"

Lu Yu watched indifferently as the figure gradually faded into nothingness, and slowly uttered five words:
"The Great Luo Heavenly Flame Sword".
