Chapter 976: Chapter 55: Sword Killing Return Ring (Two in One) _3

He waved his hand, and the four of them flew back in unison.

Although Lu Chengyou’s desire to kill had not ceased, he could not leave the place, so he stood at the entrance of Demon Slaying Gorge and sneered, "If you dare to come here again, it won’t just be two bloody holes next time!"

He had finally avenged a part of the great vengeance of Shu Mountain, his tone immensely satisfied.

...

Only a few hundred miles outside of Demon Slaying Gorge did the four of them pause to regroup.

"This Flying Sword Iron Ring is so powerful, it must be the handiwork of Shenxu Temple," Immortal Qi Jing furrowed his brows and said, "It seems the only way to break through is to forge ahead with the Divine Ship."

The group fell into a slight silence.

Although they had not yet reached Shenxu Temple, they had already experienced its ferocity. Along the way, they had transformed a Ghost Bone Dragon from thousands of years ago into a powerful being that could fight at the peak of the Eighth Realm, and allowed two cultivators, at most of the Seventh Realm, to possess Magic Artifacts so formidable; it was simply unimaginable.

If this small sword and iron ring were taken outside, they would at least rank in the top twenty of the Ten Thousand Treasures Record. Here, however, they could easily be given to people like Lu Chengyou, which suggested they might not even be ranked within Shenxu Temple.

Such thoughts indeed made them feel somewhat desperate.

Even if they managed to break through this place, could they really infiltrate Shenxu Temple?

"Not necessarily!" Just as the atmosphere was getting a bit heavy, Chu Liang suddenly lifted his head and smiled, "The Divine Ship is our last resort, and we shall not use it if possible. These two are not so strong; they only rely on magical treasures. It shouldn’t be so difficult to break through."

"Do you have a plan?" Immortal Qi Jing asked.

"Some ideas," Chu Liang nodded and said, "but I need the senior’s help."

In his confident gaze, Immortal Qi Jing nodded, agreeing to join him for another attempt.

Just moments later, with the blood holes in the palm of Immortal Qi Jing’s left hand not yet healed, they arrived again outside Demon Slaying Gorge and loudly called out, "Come out and fight!"

Soon after, the small figure of Lu Chengyou flew out again.

"You really aren’t afraid of death, daring to come again?" he mocked, "Are your injuries healed? You dare to challenge our Sword Killing Return Ring again?"

"Sword Killing Return Ring?" It was the first time Immortal Qi Jing had heard the name of this artifact, and he too chuckled, saying, "We’ll only know after trying."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chengyou had already spat out that black small sword again, loudly commanding, "Killing Sword! Go!"

The sword, known as the Killing Sword, once again turned into a black shadow, soaring toward Immortal Qi Jing—it was the same move, but there was still no solution to it.

This time, Immortal Qi Jing did not dodge or sway, but instead flipped his hand to make a gesture, pointing his fingers at Lu Chengyou again.

Young Master Xunyang, hidden in the shadows, had the iron ring ready by his side, spinning in preparation to enclose Lu Chengyou and shield him from Immortal Qi Jing’s Divine Skills.

But before the iron ring could fall, Young Master Xunyang suddenly felt his body stiffen, and a chaotic consciousness invaded his brain, controlling his hands to suddenly retract the iron ring.

Lu Chengyou had already braced his shoulders, ready to mock Immortal Qi Jing’s futile effort under the protection of the Windback Ring, but suddenly the iron ring above his head moved away.

In an instant, a surge of black water rose from beneath his feet, enveloping him completely.

"Wu wu wu—"

The immense force around him nearly killed Lu Chengyou on the spot. It was fortunate that the wood used for his sculpted body came from within Shenxu Temple and was extremely tough in the Mortal Realm, which saved him from immediate destruction.

He summoned the Killing Sword and returned with a solitary strike that shattered the water prison, barely escaping with his life. Then he looked toward Young Master Xunyang with fury, "What are you doing? Are you trying to harm me?"

Yet at that moment, Young Master Xunyang still couldn’t move.

Because Chu Liang had already approached them amidst the towering waves of Blackwater, easily infiltrating Young Master Xunyang’s Godly Soul with the Soul Snatching Puppet. Compared to Young Master Xunyang of the Seventh Realm, Chu Liang’s Cultivation was far too advanced.

The reason he chose him instead of directly controlling Lu Chengyou was that if the iron ring fell on Lu Chengyou, Chu Liang was not confident that he could truly break through the iron ring’s defenses without it rebounding onto himself.

So, there was no need to take the risk.

Boom—

The giant waves of Blackwater, under the control of Immortal Qi Jing, struck again, sweeping over everything, completely isolating everyone’s perception.

Chu Liang put on the Ten Thousand Faces Mask and transformed into the figure of Lu Chengyou, riding the wind and waves, arriving in front of Young Master Xunyang.

It was then that Young Master Xunyang had just freed himself from the effect of the Soul Snatching Puppet, only to see "Lu Chengyou" in front of him. Before he could speak, Lu Chengyou swung his hand and slapped him.

Smack—

Though his body was small, his strength was immense; the slap sent Young Master Xunyang flying out more than ten meters, his left cheek swelling up immediately.

"Waste!" Chu Liang cursed angrily, "You can’t even maintain a defense, what can you do? If you keep this up, I’ll kill you along with them! Follow me!"

After speaking, he turned and dived back into the waves.

Young Master Xunyang was shocked and furious, utterly aggrieved. He didn’t even have time to mention what trick he had fallen for before being treated so harshly.

Yet, as he was under others’ roof here, he still had to fear the authority of Lu Chengyou’s father, and could only follow Lu Chengyou’s orders reluctantly.

He had just stepped forward when the waves calmed down once more.

Lu Chengyou and Young Master Xunyang saw each other again, both with flames of anger burning in their eyes.

Then...

Whoosh.

A glint of spiritual light suddenly fell on Lu Chengyou, and the anger in his eyes suddenly flared to three hundred percent.

"I summoned you here, gave you a foothold, granted you life-saving Divine Skills, and you can’t even secure a single ring—what use is there in keeping such a waste like you? Are you planning to jeopardize my life and then escape with the Killing Sword? I’m telling you, dream on! Without the incantation, you can’t activate this sword. But I have the incantation for the Windback Ring, so I might as well kill you now and control both Magical Artifacts on my own!"

As Young Master Xunyang listened to his baffling tirade, he was about to argue when suddenly, whoosh, another glint of spiritual light fell on him.

"You, so wise! Clearly, it was because I was under the influence of Divine Skills that I couldn’t release the Magical Artifact. And you dare to doubt my intentions? Being tricked here and unable to leave for a hundred years, do you think it is a good thing? Being with someone like you, even a hundred days makes me sick to the core! If it weren’t for your father, I would have disposed of you happily long ago! Want to kill me? Fine! Come and try!"

Chu Liang secretly applied two uses of the Heart-Charming Demon Spell, fully igniting their fury.

The Killing Sword and the Windback Ring.

Indestructible and impeccable.

In that instant, they clashed thunderously together!
