CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 94: AN UNEXPECTED JOY, CELESTIAL FALLING BRIGHT FLAME

Lu Yu was just about to turn and leave, to avoid getting involved in their enmity, when he heard the words Han Feng, Han Yun, and Beifeng Academy. He could confirm that the two brothers being chased were the same two young masters from the Han family that Manager Zhang had told him about.

The names were the same, and they were from Beifeng Academy, not to mention they were brothers—it couldn’t be a mistake.

Having received kindness from the Han family, Lu Yu had no reason not to intervene now that he encountered the two young masters being pursued. More importantly, he felt that the people chasing them weren’t strong.

Before his breakthrough, they might have been strong compared to Lu Yu, but for Lu Yu, who had reached the third level of Qi Cultivation, they truly weren’t strong at all.

With the Demon-Breaking Saber in hand, Lu Yu used the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada technique to quickly enter the battlefield, striking down at the pursuers.

The man quickly reacted, hastily using his weapon to block Lu Yu’s attack, his companions simultaneously shouting, "Who are you?"

Splash~ Blood splattered everywhere as the severed corpse fell, and everyone stopped in shock, staring at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu hadn’t expected to slice through the opponent’s weapon with one blow, also cutting the man in half, leaving blood splattered on himself.

Activating the cleaning array on his disciple robes, the blood stains vanished, and Lu Yu scanned the crowd.

Han Feng supported the poisoned and coughing up blood Han Yun, nervously watching Lu Yu, while the other pursuers all stared at Lu Yu with fear, their backs cold with sweat pouring down.

From that one strike just now, none of them believed they could withstand it. If that blade had been aimed at them...

Although Lu Yu had the element of surprise, they all clearly saw that the deceased’s weapon was severed.

It had been a second-tier spiritual weapon, yet it was directly cut through. It was unimaginable what kind of strength Lu Yu, standing before them, possessed.

Glancing at the now motionless Han Feng and Han Yun brothers, the leader of the pursuers swallowed hard and cautiously said, "Senior, we’ll leave them to you, and we’ll leave immediately."

With that, he signaled the others to retreat.

Lu Yu said nothing more, raising his blade and attacking them. Since he had already offended them, he might as well send them to reunite with their companion.

Lu Yu was merciful; he wouldn’t let the previously deceased be lonely on the road to the afterlife.

"Run!" the leader shouted, and the group scattered in escape, while Lu Yu chased the nearest person.

Apart from the leader, who cultivated a spiritual-grade body technique and was faster than Lu Yu, everyone else was easily slain by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took out the Spirit Pearl of earth and used earth escape to pursue the direction in which the leader fled.

After escaping dozens of miles, the leader, feeling no one was pursuing him, stopped and gasped in terror, not expecting his luck to be so bad as to encounter such a ruthless expert.

Luckily, I cultivated a third-tier spiritual body technique; otherwise, I’d be dead this time! the leader thought with emotion.

Whoosh~ A yellow shadow shot out from the ground, passing over the leader, and his face still held the joy of surviving a disaster as his body fell to both sides.

This was the debut battle of the earth escape with the perspective lens. The debut was a success, and the perspective lens synergized unexpectedly well with earth escape.

Looking at the last opponent’s corpse, Lu Yu pondered whether he should cultivate a higher-level body technique since the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada was clearly not enough.

After all, it was a mortal-level body technique. Even if cultivated to an incomparable level, comparable to a spiritual-level technique, it still couldn’t catch up with a Martial Cultivator of higher realm who had cultivated a spiritual-level body technique.

Collecting the spoils from the corpses, Lu Yu returned to the original spot to gather the spoils he hadn’t had time to take, surprised to find that the Han Feng and Han Yun brothers hadn’t left and were still there.

"Why didn’t you leave?" Lu Yu asked, curious. He had acted like a ruthless executioner, killing without a word; under such circumstances, a normal person would take the chance to run while he was pursuing others.

Han Yun smiled wryly, "I’m severely poisoned and can’t run fast. Even if I tried to escape, you would catch up to me."

Glancing at Han Feng who was supporting him, he was even more helpless, "My brother was unwilling to abandon me and run away."

"Come on! Give us a quick death. The Celestial Iron you want is in my storage bag. Kill us, and you can have it," Han Feng said bluntly, staring at Lu Yu.

"Brother, I owe you this life. In the next life, let’s still be brothers," Han Feng gazed lovingly at Han Yun.

"Brother!" Han Yun looked at Han Feng, tears streaming down.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop. When did I say I wanted your stuff?" Lu Yu, unable to stand their emotional display, explained the reason he saved them.

Han Feng and Han Yun looked at Lu Yu in disbelief, Han Feng said, "You... are the Lu Yu that Father talked about?"

Han Yun cast a few glances at Lu Yu and said, "Impossible! Father clearly said you were only at the sixth level of Body Refinement, how could you possibly instantly kill a Martial Cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation! Even if you disappeared for a while, your strength couldn’t have changed this much!"

"Cough, cough~" After speaking, Han Yun coughed up two mouthfuls of black blood.

Lu Yu bought a second-tier Antitoxic Pill from the marketplace and handed it to Han Yun, "Take it. It’s a second-tier Antitoxic Pill. You weren’t poisoned to death immediately, which means the poison hasn’t reached the third-tier level, so a second-tier Antitoxic Pill will work."

A first-tier pill corresponds to the Body Refinement realm, a second-tier pill corresponds to the Qi Cultivation realm... and so on. A poison that can kill someone in the Qi Cultivation realm is called a second-tier poison, and one that can kill someone in the Qi Manipulation realm is called a third-tier poison...

Though they had doubts about Lu Yu’s identity, the Antitoxic Pill in his hand was Han Yun’s only hope of survival. He chose to trust Lu Yu and took the pill.

After consuming the Antitoxic Pill, Han Yun’s complexion quickly improved. After expelling several mouthfuls of black blood, the blood he spat out returned to normal.

Seeing the Antitoxic Pill actually work, Han Feng was tremendously grateful to Lu Yu, taking out the Celestial Iron and handing it to Lu Yu, saying, "Thank you for saving my brother. I have nothing to offer in return, so take this Celestial Iron."

Lu Yu initially wanted to refuse Han Feng’s Celestial Iron, but noticed that the Ice and Fire Seven Heavens Cultivation Technique reacted to the Celestial Iron, so he accepted it.

Seeing Lu Yu hold the Celestial Iron directly in his hand, Han Feng hurriedly said, "You can’t hold it bare-handed; you need to wrap it in Spiritual Qi..."

Before finishing, he was shocked to see that Lu Yu had no issues holding the Celestial Iron bare-handed.

Lu Yu looked at him with some doubt, "Is there a problem?"

Han Feng was embarrassed, "N-no, none. As long as you’re happy, Master."

The Celestial Iron was somewhat hot, and it was the first time since completing the Fire Spirit Body cultivation that Lu Yu felt heat.

He accelerated the operation of the Ice and Fire Seven Heavens Cultivation Technique, and a bright yellow flame appeared on the Celestial Iron, wrapping around Lu Yu’s right hand.

Lu Yu felt his right hand wrapped in the flame becoming incredibly hot and unbearably painful. Several times he wanted to let go but held on.

[Absorbed a small amount of Celestial Falling Bright Flame, Fire Spirit Body second heaven cultivation progress +2%, Qi Blood +8, Fire Spiritual Qi +3]

After receiving a system notification, the flame on the Celestial Iron vanished, all absorbed by Lu Yu, and the temperature of the Celestial Iron quickly dropped until it was merely warm to the touch for an ordinary person.

Finding the cultivation method for the second heaven of the Ice and Fire Seven Heavens by accident, Lu Yu was delighted.

He returned the Celestial Iron to Han Feng and asked, "Where did you get this?"

At the same time, he searched for Celestial Iron in the marketplace.

Han Feng, a bit puzzled, accepted the Celestial Iron, realizing it was no longer hot to the touch. Hearing Lu Yu’s question, he quickly replied, "We found it in Luoyan Valley in the Qingyan Mountains, a hundred miles east from here."

After taking the Antitoxic Pill, Han Yun’s complexion improved. He expressed his sincere gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your help. I am most grateful."

"It’s nothing. When I was at the Han residence, the master took good care of me." Lu Yu waved his hand and looked up at the two.

Seeing Lu Yu’s flame-filled eyes, the two were startled.

[Han Feng, sixth level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Blood 365/224, Spiritual Qi 654/213]

[Han Yun, fifth level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Blood 341/62, Spiritual Qi 582/79]

While looking at the two, Lu Yu noticed two lines of status bars above their heads. Upon closer inspection, he realized that while absorbing the Celestial Falling Bright Flame, he had unintentionally activated the Fiery Demon Eye.

It turned out that the Fiery Demon Eye allowed him to see others’ strengths.
