Chapter 446: Shitstirrer (2/2)

At the same time, a sword slash landed heavily on the shield. Blood overflowed from Yuan Tong’s mouth and its vitality decreased at an alarming rate, but there was a gleam of satisfaction in its eyes.

“In this world, only two have ever treated me well and given me a sense of self-worth. One is the Wolfking, and the other my master…” it murmured even as its vision began to blur.

“To think I’d die like this. I… really am dying,” it uttered, conjuring the last of its strength.

“You’re not going to die.” Lu Yun quickly pressed his hands on the gorilla’s chest, forcing its elimination a split second before the Sword of Chaos could land the killing blow. Then, he took the giant shield and hid behind it. Flung into the air again by the terrifying counterforce from the impact, he landed heavily on the ground.

This time around, he too had suffered critical damage. Countless bones in his body were shattered and he was almost completely immobilized.

……

“I’m still alive!” Yuan Tong lay bonelessly on the ground like a bag filled with rags. Although its wounds were heavy, its life had been saved. And thanks to a pill Scarlet Ape fed it, it quickly recovered from the worst of its injuries.

“Did you see who the attacker was?” Scarlet Ape asked. Beside them, Lu Yun’s body was also dyed a bloody crimson. Although Ge Long was tirelessly providing first aid, the young man’s wounds couldn’t be mended before his return.

“Master called him Sword Divine, but I couldn’t see him.” Yuan Tong shook its head.

The next moment, Silverblaze also regained consciousness with a wry smile on her lips.

She hadn’t been wounded; instead, she’d been eliminated by Qing Han’s sword. Her mistress had obviously been worried she’d follow in Yuan Tong’s footsteps. The two of them had eliminated quite a few cultivators in the arena, so they’d earned ample rewards.

“To think humans would protect monster spirits… Strange, how truly strange.” Scarlet Ape looked at the distant Lu Yun in the arena, its eyes filled with incredulity. This would’ve been utterly unfathomable back in its own era.

When Yuan Tong had taken the blow for Lu Yun just then, it would’ve been easy for the young man to use this occurrence to escape completely unharmed.

But he hadn’t done so. Instead, he’d struck Yuan Tong and sent him out. It was this very palm strike that’d caused him to miss the most optimal timing to dodge the incoming attack and condemned him to suffer the blow from the Sword of Chaos in full, leading to heavy injuries.

……

“Sidekick isn’t invincible, it seems. At the very least, the invisible powerhouse can kill him!” Countless immortals cheered when they saw Lu Yun get wounded. He hadn’t eliminated many people, but each of them had been a matchless genius from one of the top clans. By now, he’d offended all of the factions standing behind the ten lords.

More importantly, he’d skinned quite a few powerhouses and refined their bones into shamanic weapons. While those cultivators hadn’t truly died, they’d gone through the very real experience of feeling their skins peeled off and their bones ripped away.

“Just now, I saw him betray the silverback gorilla that tried to help him…”

“Whatever the case may be, the Sovereign Ranking battle will return to normal after he’s out.”

“What a shitstirrer!”

……

Meanwhile, Lu Yun lay on the ground. The giant shield had landed not far away from him, and Sword Divine was presently standing beside him. He could feel eerie two beams of murderous intent shooting out of the blurry face and stabbing viciously into him.

“I’m going to die anyway, so before I do, let me see who you really are.” Lu Yun heaved a helpless sigh.
