521 The Death of Li Zhuoying (2/2)
With the Divine Soul Trillion Layers, his soul power was comparably more lasting. Otherwise, if any other person here could launch soul attacks and had soul power akin to the pinnacle of Golden Elixir realm, that person would most likely have exhausted all his soul power after attacking three times.
But the Divine Soul Trillion Layers was different. It was a great magical power renowned among the Immortal Cultivation world.
”I will need only one blow.” The light in Chen Wuhui's eyes shone brightly. With an attack, even if he couldn't kill Zhu Lanhuo, it was enough to severely injure him. After that, even without Mo Wen's assistance, Zhu Lanhuo had no chance of leaving the Intentionless Sect.
Before this, everyone had seen that Li Zhuoying was chasing after Mo Wen. However, nobody paid much attention to it. The people from the Intentionless Sect had no time to spare while the people from the Sacred Flame Sect thought that Li Zhuoying would surely not have any problem chasing and killing a youth. Everyone thought that the youth would surely not escape death.
In the square, the intense battle continued. Nobody had paid attention to the chase.
Chen Wuhui made a grab and Li Zhuoying's corpse was sucked onto his hand. Then, with a flash, his silhouette flew into the sky. In an instant, he appeared in the sky on top of the Mindfulness Hall.
”Those who trespass in my Intentionless Sect will be exterminated.” Chen Wuhui's icy cold voice rang in the square. He threw Li Zhuoying's corpse onto the ground straight away. A thud sounded, with dust flying everywhere.
Suddenly, the square was dead silent. Everyone was stunned. They stopped what they were doing, gawking at the corpse which had fallen onto the ground and at the elder in white who was floating in mid-air.
”That is the deputy sect leader! How is this possible?”
”Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Could it be that I am seeing an illusion?”
”This is impossible. The deputy sect leader is an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. No one in the Intentionless Sect could fight against him. How could he be dead?”
”This must be fake. That can't be the deputy sect leader! It's definitely not.”
Everyone from the Sacred Flame Sect wore an incredulous expression. The scene before their eyes was too shocking. How was it possible that the deputy sect leader Li Zhuoying, who was still alive a moment ago, had turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye?
An unparalleled master at the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm had died so abruptly. Nobody from the Sacred Flame Sect could accept this reality.
Let alone the Sacred Flame Sect, even the people from the Intentionless Sect found it hard to believe the scene before them. They wished fervently that everyone from the Sacred Flame Sect was dead, but the scene before them seemed a little unrealistic no matter how they looked at it.
However, soon some Intentionless Sect members noticed the elder in white, who was floating in mid-air. In an instant, brilliant lights shined in the eyes of almost all Intentionless Sect's members. It was as though a helpless person had found his emotional support.
”Sect Leader!”
”The sect leader is…”
”My eyes are not playing tricks on me, right?”
”This is great. Sect Leader has finally appeared.”
Many ancient martial art practitioners from the Intentionless Sect stared at the elder in white excitedly. It was hard to contain their emotions. The pillar of the Intentionless Sect had finally appeared before their eyes when the sect was facing a calamity.
Many people couldn't figure out how the sect leader, who clearly was severely injured, could appear on the battleground. However, everything else didn't matter as long as he was here.
”Father!” Chen Zikuang gazed at the elder in mid-air. Tears filled his eyes instantly even though he was a mature adult. He hadn't expected his father to appear now, far earlier than he anticipated. The battle, which had lasted for almost a month, had rendered him tired and miserable. He had shouldered mountain-like pressure. The survival of a century old sect was all laid in his hands. When burdened with such a heavy responsibility, even though he said nothing on the outside, he could barely breathe inside.
Before the big battle, he had been prepared to sacrifice himself. If he could use his death to allow the Intentionless Sect to continue, he would do it without hesitation.
”Chen Wuhui! You…” A roar sounded in the air like a thunderclap. Zhu Lanhuo's eyes were bulging with anger. He stared incredulously at Chen Wuhui, who was floating in mid-air. It was the Intentionless Sect's sect leader, whom he had included in his plan since the beginning and was supposed to be laying half-dead in bed right now. How was it possible for him to appear here now?
Furthermore, he had killed Li Zhuoying! How did he do that? Even Zhu Lanhuo himself didn't have the ability to kill Li Zhuoying. At the same time, Zhu Lanhuo understood what Li Zhuoying's death meant. Zhu Lanhuo couldn't accept this at all. All the planning and effort had actually yielded such a terrible result.
”Zhu Lanhuo, you are indeed capable and smart. You are courageous and prudent. Unfortunately, your luck is too bad and the Intentionless Sect is very lucky. The heavens have decided that our Intentionless Sect will not be eradicated,” Chen Wuhui said clearly.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that a mere youth could reverse the battle between two large sects. But, that was the reality. Mo Wen alone had caused the battle to be turned around completely.
If the Sacred Flame Sect was not from the Anti-Ming Faction, if the Sacred Flame Sect hadn't attacked the Intentionless Sect at this time, if the Intentionless Sect hadn't invited Mo Wen over before the attack had begun, then everything would have developed according to Zhu Lanhuo's plan.
So, it could only be said that Zhu Lanhuo's luck was too bad.
