Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Neither the Gu Worm Nor the Gu Poison Work!

Facing Chen Lihua’s concrete-like Sword Qi, Su Luo immediately felt the threat of imminent death.

However, he remained calm in the face of danger, fully aware that it was somewhat unrealistic to confront a fifth-grade peak Grandmaster like Chen Lihua solely with the Mana of his First Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Thus, he did not counter with his own Sword Qi, but instead quickly positioned the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo horizontally in front of himself.

"Clang!"

The Sword Qi struck the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, and its formidable impact force caused Su Luo to slide backward, his feet dragging two long marks on the ground.

By the time the Sword Qi dissipated, Su Luo was already ten meters away.

Fortunately, the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo was a treasure even in The Cultivation World, after all, anything associated with the word ’immortal’ was enough to denote its value.

Although Su Luo was unable to withstand the power of a fifth-grade peak Grandmaster, the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo could completely block it.

"This sword, I want it!"

Chen Lihua, like Zhuo Qingfeng, developed the same desire.

She rushed forward again; but instead of engaging Su Luo in close combat, she performed sword techniques in the air, directing multiple strands of Sword Qi at the vital points around Su Luo’s body.

As Su Luo was dealing with those strands of Sword Qi, Chen Lihua suddenly scattered several silver needles from her palm.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The silver needles tore through the air, aiming directly at Su Luo’s vital spots: his glabella, eyes, neck, and heart.

She wanted to throw Su Luo into disarray and take advantage of his confusion to find an opening and defeat him in one fell swoop!

However.

This time, Su Luo did not respond in a flustered manner; rather, he became wide open to the attacks, and in that moment of crisis, he was directly hit by the silver needles and Sword Qi.

"Su Luo?"

Seeing this, Lin Songbai and the Lin Family members were instantly shocked, believing Su Luo had been hit.

Chen Lihua’s complexion also changed.

She had assumed that Su Luo would struggle to cope and even get injured, but she never expected to hit him so easily; could Su Luo be alright after such an attack?

She didn’t want to kill Su Luo!

But such a thought only lasted a moment before she realized something was wrong.

"Not right!"

Those silver needles and Sword Qi had passed right through Su Luo, and at that moment, his body shattered apart.

That wasn’t Su Luo!

It was an afterimage left behind by Su Luo!

"Boom!"

Just at that moment, a fist accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning suddenly struck from the side.

Chen Lihua’s face changed drastically, and without a second thought, she instinctively struck back with a sword attack.

Even so, she was still hit by the fist.

"Pugh!"

Chen Lihua immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and her entire body was sent flying by the punch.

"How is this possible?"

"How did he manage to leave an afterimage and deceive me?"

Chen Lihua was seriously injured and filled with doubt and astonishment.

But Su Luo certainly was not going to explain that it was because he had taken his mastery of Phantom Step to the next level—not only could he create a trail of afterimages while moving quickly, he could also leave an afterimage in place that lasted for two to three seconds.

Moreover, this being at night, it was easy to deceive the eye.

Strike when the enemy is sick, take their life!

After sending Chen Lihua flying with a punch, Su Luo, enduring the injuries caused by her reflexive sword blow, rushed forward once again.

He clenched his fist and executed Lightning Fist. With the aid of Phantom Step, his movements were incredibly quick and explosive, like a sudden clap of thunder.

"Boom!"

Su Luo threw a punch, aiming straight for Chen Lihua’s head.

Not only that, at that moment, he also tried to use his Divine Sense to assault Chen Lihua’s spiritual power, seeking to suppress her and prevent her from reacting in time.

However, Chen Lihua was not so easy to deal with.

The instant Su Luo lunged at her, a flurry of silver needles burst from the palm of her hand. Each needle was enveloped in terrifying Inner Strength. The power they exploded with surpassed that of handgun bullets, and while perhaps not quite as powerful as sniper rifle rounds, they weren’t far off.

Although Su Luo had injured Chen Lihua’s spiritual power, his plan to take advantage of this and kill her also failed, forcing him to dodge.

Enduring the severe pain in her head, Chen Lihua leapt up and once again slashed her sword towards Su Luo.

Meanwhile, the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, controlled by Su Luo’s Divine Sense, shot forward like a flying sword, suddenly surging towards her from behind.

This caused Chen Lihua’s complexion to drastically change, forcing her to divide her attention to deal with the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo.

But instead of using her soft sword to counter it, she dodged to the side, channeled Inner Strength into her palm, and slapped the blade of the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, sending it flying away.

Then, with a swift twist of her body and wielding her soft sword, she charged forward, her movement through the air creating terrifying Sword Qi that flew straight towards Su Luo.

Seeing that using the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo was already too late, Su Luo could only perform the Phantom Step to instantly get away.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

At the same time, Su Luo also released several Flame Explosion Talismans at Chen Lihua.

At close proximity, the Flame Explosion Talismans all erupted, like miniature bombs.

But Chen Lihua was not Zhuo Qingfeng; the talismans couldn’t stick to her. The moment she sensed something wrong, she struck out with her palm, her Inner Strength bursting forth and blocking the force of the talisman explosions.

Taking advantage of the situation, she leapt up, once again dodging the incoming Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo.

"Bang!"

She took something from her waist and threw it at Su Luo. Su Luo intended to smash it with a punch, but instinctively felt a sense of dread.

Chen Lihua, however, flicked her fingers, projecting a stream of Inner Strength as a burst of energy shot forth, directly shattering it.

In an instant.

A cloud of poison fog exploded, enveloping the area where Su Luo stood.

"What... is this poisonous?"

Su Luo’s face suddenly changed.

Even though he quickly held his breath, his body still swayed, almost unable to stand steady.

The Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, until now controlled by Su Luo, also fell from the sky.

"Su Luo!"

Lin Songbai saw the situation and immediately moved to rescue.

"Old Lin, don’t come over," Su Luo could no longer hold on, directly collapsing onto the ground, but he quickly shouted out.

"If you dare to move recklessly, be careful of the lives of those of the Lin Family," Chen Lihua’s voice was cold as she spoke at this moment.

This caused Lin Songbai to stand still, not daring to act rashly.

Chen Lihua looked at Su Luo, whose entire skin was beginning to turn black.

She first walked over and picked up the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, holding it in her hand before approaching Su Luo and said with a faint smile, "Su Luo, do you know why I was so confident that I could beat you, even though I was well aware that Zhuo Qingfeng could very well have died at your hands?"

Su Luo’s expression was one of pain, and he couldn’t help coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

Chen Lihua spoke for herself, "It’s not because my cultivation realm is somewhat higher than Zhuo Qingfeng’s. It’s because I come from Miao Jiang, and what I am best at is not martial arts strength, but Gu Art and using poison."

She stood in front of Su Luo, looking at him with skin that had turned black and without the strength to fight, no different from meat on a chopping board, and laughed, "Gu Worms are useless against you. But it seems you can’t guard against this Gu poison."

"Do you concede now?"

She placed Su Luo’s Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo against his neck and asked.

However.

Just at that moment, at close range, Su Luo launched a Divine Sense attack on Chen Lihua. This caused her spiritual power to suffer a blow instantly, her head throbbing in severe pain, and she was momentarily stunned.

In that fleeting moment, Su Luo already took possession of the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo and plunged it into Chen Lihua’s heart.

As his voice rang in Chen Lihua’s ears, Su Luo said, "Sorry, the Gu poison is useless against me!"
