Chapter 644: Destroying a Red Avatar
Yu Shangrong flew forward over a small mountain range and rivers. When he turned back, he saw the luan crying out.
Its cries resounded thunderously in the air, causing the birds in the forest to take flight. The beasts on the ground were also startled by its cries and scurried away.
Yu Shangrong increased his speed. He rode on the wind and kept flying. When he looked down, he was amazed by what he saw. He saw a large number of beasts stampeding across the ground. The ground rumbled and thundered as the beasts ran.
Yu Shangrong felt his Primal Qi depleting and quickly landed on a towering tree. After flying for such a long time in the dark, he nearly lost his balance when he landed on the branch. Fortunately, he regained his footing in time. After that, he lay down a huge branch and closed his eyes to rest. Naturally, he did not let his guard down. There were dangerous beasts around him, after all.
After what seemed like a few hours, Yu Shangrong finally opened his eyes. He felt well-rested and energized after his nap. Although he had tried to stay awake, he had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
At this moment, the sun was setting, dyeing the sky orange. For some reason, he felt the sun was much higher in the sky in this place.
Dusk was coming. The dimming sunlight shone on the forest, making him feel relaxed.
Yu Shangrong examined his Primal Qi. To his delight, he had almost recovered all his Primal Qi. He picked up his Longevity Sword and looked at it with a smile. âYouâve had it rough, old friend.â
Without the scabbard, he could not help but feel that something was missing. Hence, he removed his outer robe and tore it before he wrapped it around the sword and carried it on his back.
Yu Shangrong was perplexed. âWhy havenât I encountered anyone yet?â
Even if this was the territory of the Other Tribes, he should have encountered human settlements by now.
The 100,000-foot-deep abyss was close to Heavenâs Moat. In that case, where did Heavenâs Moat lead to? How was he supposed to return to Great Yan if he could not locate Heavenâs Moat?
Yu Shangrong rested on a branch again. At the same time, he adjusted his breathing to replenish his Primal Qi. He was about to shut his eyes when he saw something shocking.
He saw a huge group of cultivators flying toward him. The leader of the group had summoned a 150-foot avatar.
âMaster?â Yu Shangrong was surprised. He felt rather emotional. He had been stubborn and had acted willfully. He did not expect his master to come for him. However, he soon realized something was amiss about the group.
The 150-foot avatar was red. Nine red leaves spun around the red life-like lotus under its feet.
Why was it red? He remembered what Old Fourth had said. Was his master trying something new?
âThat canât be it.â
He looked at the skies ahead. There were many Ten Worlds, Nine Transformations Yin Yang, and a couple of Three and Four-leaf avatars flying toward him. They were all red.
It was possible that his master was trying some new technique. However, for all the others to have red avatars as well? It was impossible!
Still puzzled, Yu Shangrong shrunk back and concealed his presence. He stayed in this position until the 150-foot Nine-leaf red avatar shot past below him to his left.
It illuminated the forest and mountain range like a red-hot sun. It was glaring and dazzlingâŚ
Yu Shangrong was shocked. âThatâs not, master! Is there a new Nine-leaf expert in Great Yan?â
He held his breath as he looked at the Nine-leaf red lotus cultivatorâs retreating back. He continued doing so until the red lotus cultivators vanished in the distance.
âWhy is the lotus red?â Despite being the great Sword Devil of Great Yan, he could not wrap his mind around this.
In the end, he gave up on thinking about this and decided to focus on returning to Great Yan.
He left his perch on the tree. He flew for only a few meters when a person called out to him from below.
Yu Shangrong was slightly taken aback. He stopped in the air and looked down. He did not sense anyone elseâs presence when he concealed his presence earlier.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. âYou have business with me, sir?â
âAre you from the Sky Martial Court?â
âSky Martial Court?â Yu Shangrong had heard of many sects after traveling the world for so long, but he had never heard of the Sky Martial Court before. Perhaps, it was a minor sect?
âIâm not,â Yu Shangrong replied.
âIf youâre not, then what are you doing here?â
At this moment, Yu Shangrong suddenly discovered this personâs accent was strange. He said, âMy apologies. If you suspect me, Iâm afraid that Iâd have to disappoint you.â He felt awkward being questioned in this manner.
âIâm sorry as well. However, this concerns the Flying Star House so youâll have to answer me.â
âThe Flying Star House?â
Yu Shangrongâs reaction did not escape the personâs notice. âYou donât know what the Flying Star House is? That isnât funny at all.â
He pushed away from the ground and shot into the air before he drew level with Yu Shangrong.
Killing intent crackled in the night air.
Yu Shangrong was the Sword Devil of his generation. Naturally, he could acutely sense the other partyâs killing intent. He asked with a smile, âYou intend to kill me?â
âIâd rather kill 1,000 innocent men than letting my suspect get away. I pray youâd be reincarnated to a better life.â He raised a hand and launched a red palm seal.
Yu Shangrong sidestepped it as he looked at the red palm seal in confusion. It was red as well!
The person launched several palm seals againâŚ
Yu Shangrong unleashed an energy sword from two of his fingers as he pushed forward.
The energy sword shot forth!
It destroyed the red palm seal.
A frightened expression appeared on that personâs face immediately. âGolden energy? Who are you?â
âIâm Yu Shangrong,â Yu Shangrong replied indifferently.
âYu Shangrong? Which sect do you belong to?â
Yu Shangrong was slightly stunned. Those who heard his name would tremble with fear. Why was this man not cowering in fear?
Yu Shangrong looked at the skies. âAm I in hell?â
When he saw Yu Shangrong did not reply to him, he joined his palms and said coldly, âDie.â
A Five-leaf Golden Lotus avatar appeared in front of Yu Shangrong. Then, the person attacked swiftly with a thunderous blow. He tried to charge at Yu Shangrong with his avatar.
Yu Shangrong remained motionless in the air. His arms were crossed, and he was lost in his thoughts.
At the final moment, Yu Shangrongâs Longevity Sword broke free of its wrappings and burst forth with radiance! The scarlet sword released several energy swords.
The Longevity Sword glanced across the personâs avatar! Then, it flew in a circle and returned to Yu Shangrongâs back.
The personâs avatar was cleaved into two, injuring him. He fell and crashed to the ground. His expression was one of fright at this moment.
Yu Shangrong landed slowly. He looked at the person. He asked calmly, âWhere is this place?â
The personâs eyes were filled with trepidation. He shuddered and said, âThe people of Sky Martial Court⌠arenât mad. You, youâŚâ Before he could finish his sentence, his head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing.
Yu Shangrong sighed and shook his head. He looked at the stars, preoccupied with his thoughts. After a momentâs silence, he said tonelessly, âInteresting.â
âDing! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.â
âAfter the systemâs authority upgrade, its range has been increased. Thereâs an additional reward of 1,000 merit points for the domain.â
When Lu Zhou heard the first notification, he did not think too much of it. However, he was slightly surprised by the second notification.
âAdditional reward for the domain?â He remembered when he killed Chi Yao at the bottom of the abyss back then, he was rewarded with 5,000 merit points. However, there was no domain reward.
Where did this reward come from?
