Chapter 213: I admit that I was somewhat disrespectful (II)

Someone came to rescue the vendor!

"Who is it?" Chu Liang shouted.

He quickly stowed away the green leaf enchanted tool and went after the shadowy figure.

Once more, moving with the swiftness of a gust of wind, the shadowy figure turned and unleashed several black starlights. Immediately, Chu Liang opened the green leaf umbrella and successfully deflected all of the attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The black starlights exploded in the air, morphing into a sudden shower of black blood. Upon hitting the ground, they emitted a distinct hissing sound. As they struck the wall, they left behind minuscule black holes.

The horse, left unshielded, was splattered, causing it to instantly go into a frenzy, galloping forward uncontrollably.

In the next moment, bloody wounds filled with pus began to form all over half of its body and it died!

Such vicious methods!

Could this person be a high-level member of the Soul Destroyer Sect, coming to rescue their disciple?

Chu Liang had no time to put the green leaf umbrella away as he swiftly pursued the shadowy figure!

Yang Yuhu followed suit, chasing after the gust of black wind straight into the sky, leaving a trailing white afterimage.

Both of them knew that if they had allowed this diabolical cultivator to escape, innocent civilians were bound to suffer! They needed to keep this diabolical cultivator inside the Misty Waters City!

The cultivation level of the shadowy figure was higher. However, as long as they could maintain this pursuit, they would buy enough time for the city supervisor and the powerful soldiers from outside the city to arrive and provide support.

The wind howled, and in the blink of an eye, three beams of light flew out of the city.

Lin Bei attempted to catch up, but right from the start, he fell behind by about a hundred zhang.

He then paused for a moment and stopped. He simply turned around and headed towards the city supervisor's office.

Considering that the city supervisor would have already sensed the fluctuations of foundational qi in the city and would be heading towards the fluctuation of qi, Lin Bei decided that he would head back and be the guide.

By doing so, they would at least save some time.

...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black wind howled as it rushed out of the city.

Yang Yuhu embodying the white light followed closely, while Chu Liang's sword aura continuously trailed behind.

In the blink of an eye, all of them had moved a hundred li.

When the shadowy figure, moving with the swiftness of the wind, realized they couldn't shake off their pursuers and that the men of Misty Waters City would soon arrive, they turned back and hovered in mid-air.

This gust of black wind was really a middle-aged man with a broad face and some beard. His gaze looked cold and sinister. As soon as he stopped, he raised his hand!

Yang Yuhu was swiftly chasing, but he quickly stopped in his tracks, making a sharp sound in the air.

Swoosh—

Boom—

The storm of sword qi instantly engulfed his figure, finally subsiding after a long while.

Simultaneously, the fire dragon and bone spears he had summoned disappeared. Yang Yuhu broke free and landed, but he didn't relax; instead, he looked up and shouted to Chu Liang, "Be careful! It's the Sacrificial Substitute!"

Hearing this, Chu Liang was just about to be on guard when a roaring sound came from above.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, as if a giant, overturned pot had slammed down on them!

Boom—

This was the immortal art known as the Sacrificial Substitute.

It could have been cast in moments of crisis, causing other living beings to die in one's place. However, those living beings had to have been previously prepared through ritual sacrifice. Those who practiced the Sacrificial Substitute must have carried several substitutes with them.

Chu Liang had used the Crimson Executioner sword so many times, but this was the first time someone had escaped.

But thinking back to when he had used the Crimson Executioner sword to kill experts at the fifth and sixth realms across borders before, he had mostly succeeded by catching them off guard with sudden attacks.

When cultivators of this level were on guard during a fight, even if your sword qi was powerful, the attack might never hit the target.

...

Snap.

In the darkness, a speck of white light sparked to life, casting illumination across the entire space.

If one were to look from outside, they would see a black iron alms bowl, the size of a house, overturned on the ground, trapping both Chu Liang and Yang Yuhu underneath.

The middle-aged man, likely startled by the power unleashed by Chu Liang's Crimson Executioner, feared a direct confrontation. In his apprehension, he abandoned his enchanted artifact and fled.

He fled, but ended up trapping both of them under a massive alms bowl.

Chu Liang stared at Yang Yuhu, uncertain of what to say.

Yang Yuhu stared at Chu Liang and felt really awkward.

Due to Di Nufeng, he had spoken words of hostility toward the disciples of Mount Shu. However, Chu Liang's intervention in the earlier fight, freeing him from the predicament, made him reconsider his previous stance.

In addition, the power that his sword unleashed was too terrifying.

If the diabolical cultivator hadn't mastered the immortal art Sacrificial Substitute, he would not have escaped the fate of being instantly killed.

Was this truly the power that a cultivator at the beginning stage of the Golden Core Realm could display?

It was utterly beyond belief.

As Yang Yuhu reflected on the words he had said, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He even wondered if his elder brother, whom he had always looked up to as a god, could unleash a sword qi of this level when he was at the same age as Chu Liang.

After a prolonged silence, it was Yang Yuhu who finally spoke up.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "I admit that I was somewhat disrespectful..."
