Chapter 977: 56 Chapters Mirror [Two in One]

The Killing Sword, unparalleled in sharpness, would not return without drinking the blood of its target, and even powers from the Eighth Realm couldn’t stop it.

The Windback Ring, mysterious and inscrutable, could rebound all Divine Skills, returning even the most potent attacks just as they were delivered.

When these two met, it was like the age-old conundrum of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object; not just the combatants but also the onlookers Chu Liang and Immortal Qi Jing eagerly anticipated the outcome.

Lu Chengyou simply opened his mouth and expelled a black sword shadow that quickly pierced forward, while Young Master Xunyang, not even dodging, wrapped the Windback Ring around himself.

Clang—

A sonorous clang was heard as the Killing Sword struck the Windback Ring, sparks flying fiercely and the sword shadow rebounding. Yet, because it did no harm to the enemy, the black sword stabbed forward again, ringing out once more.

The Killing Sword’s Spirituality vowed not to cease until it drank enemy blood, and the Windback Ring’s Spirituality was to rebound everything; thus, the Killing Sword kept attacking while the Windback Ring kept defending.

Originally, this could have continued indefinitely.

But Young Master Xunyang, hiding within the Windback Ring, wasn’t merely allowing his opponent to attack. He formed hand seals and pointed towards Lu Chengyou, who suddenly froze, unable to move.

"What’s going on?" Lu Chengyou roared, "Did you tamper with my body? Have you been plotting against me all along?"

"It’s not specific to you," Young Master Xunyang also said darkly, "Whenever I craft a puppet, I habitually leave a backup plan, in case one day someone uses it against me. I just never thought it would be useful in your case one day."

The next instant, a loud boom resounded, and Lu Chengyou’s body burst into fierce flames, nearly burning to ashes in a blink.

It appeared this was the method Young Master Xunyang had left in the puppet’s body, a last resort that would self-destruct the puppet in a crucial moment.

"How dare you..." Lu Chengyou, burning with more than fire, his eyes flickering with murderous intent, shouted, "You really dare to strike to kill, how could I spare you?"

He was not merely posturing; suddenly his eyes burst with a red light, shedding two streams of blood tears, and the Windback Ring stopped spinning under his influence.

Initially, Lu Cang had only taught Young Master Xunyang the incantation for the Windback Ring, but he had taught Lu Chengyou the incantations for both Magical Treasures. This way, should Young Master Xunyang turn against him, Lu Chengyou could restrain him.

But as Lu Chengyou’s cultivation was too low and his Spiritual Power insufficient, controlling even one Magical Treasure was already quite taxing, not to mention concurrently controlling two would utterly drain his Godly Soul’s energy.

Young Master Xunyang clearly hadn’t anticipated this move, and before he could dodge, the black sword shadow thrust through his body.

"Ah!" He screamed as a burst of blood mist exploded around him.

With his cultivation, he naturally couldn’t withstand the Killing Sword as folks like Chu Liang and Immortal Qi Jing could; with one strike, he was tragically sent plummeting into the deep ravine.

Yet even in his dying moments, he harbored deep resentment, pointing his last bit of strength towards Lu Chengyou, whose puppet body exploded violently.

Boom!

In mere moments, both men had perished there.

Even Chu Liang himself hadn’t anticipated such a smooth... well, such a tragic outcome. It could only be said that both harbored deep-seated hatred in their hearts, which he merely amplified.

Others who had been under the Heart-Charming Demon Spell’s influence would at most struggle amongst themselves; few had the murderously mutual destructiveness of these two.

Immortal Qi Jing, watching the ash drift down from the sky, sighed, "It’s a pity for Shu Mountain’s Lu Family, to have their bloodline end like this."

"He’s just a little wooden doll, alive without the capacity to carry on a lineage anyway," Chu Liang said, "Since Senior Lu Cang is still... robust and vigorous, why not consider having another child sooner rather than later?"

"If those of us from Shenxu Temple could easily bond with others, we wouldn’t have to struggle so much," Immortal Qi Jing replied with a smile.

After a pause, Chu Liang added, "Lu Chengyou has perpetrated countless murders in Mars over the years; even as a descendent of the Lu family, he couldn’t be exempt from that culpability, right?"

What then, after his merits?

Immortal Qi Jing pondered for a moment before replying, "You make a fair point. Even if the Lu family has great merits towards Shu Mountain, their descendants should enjoy the privileges but not be exempt from punishment."

Had the Lu family not left Shu Mountain, perhaps Lu Chengyou would have been groomed by Master Wen Yuan as his successor. But at that time, three went together, only Master Wen Yuan returned, and his inability to clarify the whereabouts of the other two certainly raised suspicions. The Lu family’s sense of self-preservation was thus understandable.

Yet by doing this, Lu Chengyou’s fate had also drastically changed.

In the time it took to speak these few words, the two were not idle; their Divine Senses swept continuously. Before finishing their conversation, Chu Liang and Immortal Qi Jing leapt into the deep ravine.

Boom! Boom!

Both emerged from the water: Chu Liang holding a small black iron sword, and Immortal Qi Jing clutching a black iron ring.

"You little rascal...," Immortal Qi Jing laughed, "You talked to divert my attention, aiming to pick up these Magical Treasures first, huh?"

"I wouldn’t dare think so; I just happened upon them," Chu Liang quickly replied.

But from the look in his eye, he knew Immortal Qi Jing was on the same page.

The crafty old fox.

Neither activated the incantations for the Magical Treasures, playing around with them and finding they couldn’t control them. Immortal Qi Jing tossed the Windback Ring forward, laughing, "You took great risks to assist me on this journey, how could I compete with a junior like you? Here, take them both. If we can find the incantations in Shenxu Temple later, Shu Mountain will gain yet another great aid."
