Looking at this scene, I was dumbfounded.
Although the Demon Refining Gourd wasn't as powerful as the Xuanyuan Sword, it was still one of the ten great ancient divine weapons. In comparison, the Chiyou Axe was slightly inferior. But who would have thought that the Demon Refining Gourd would shatter under Lu Zhenyang's axe?
How was this possible?
Besides the Demon Refining Gourd, I was more worried about the fatty's safety.
Before Lu Zhenyang had destroyed the Demon Refining Gourd, the fatty's figure had disappeared. He should have entered the Demon Refining Gourd. Perhaps the fatty had sensed that the situation wasn't good and had activated the Demon Refining Gourd's power. Or, at the critical moment, the Demon Refining Gourd's spirit had appeared to save him and helped him escape.
But now that the Demon Refining Gourd had shattered, what had happened to the fatty inside?
Had he encountered danger like the Demon Refining Gourd, or had he saved his life? I had no idea.
On Lu Zhenyang's side, after shattering the Monster Refining Gourd, he stopped and looked at me with a playful look in his eyes. He said calmly, "Saving you at this time? What an idiot … I want to see who can save you now!"
As soon as he said that, he raised the Chiyou Axe in his hand and casually swung it. A blood light shot towards me.
Before I could react, Liu Ruxu, who wasn't far from Lu Zhenyang, suddenly moved. She took a deep breath and her body expanded as though she was being inflated. Her body swelled up several times in size.
In the process of enlarging, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the crimson light.
I had never heard of Liu Ruxu's divine power. However, with his identity as the Daoist of Mount Longhu and having cultivated in the Chiyou Tomb for a hundred years, his cultivation and knowledge were naturally extraordinary. With just his bare hands, he grabbed the blood light and rubbed it between his hands. The blood light disappeared without a trace.
I had never thought that Liu Ruxu would be able to break Lu Zhenyang's move so casually.
Seeing this, the anger in Lu Zhenyang's eyes rose again. He didn't say anything and after a cold snort, he swung the Chiyou Axe in his hand once again.
Because Liu Ruxu was very close to him, Lu Zhenyang didn't activate the bloody glow this time. Instead, he swung the Chiyou Axe directly at Liu Ruxu's head.
The enlarged Liu Ruxu didn't seem to have any other tricks up her sleeves. Facing Lu Zhenyang's furious attack, she actually did the exact same thing as before. She raised her hands again and met the Chiyou Axe head-on.
I can understand how a pair of palms could block Lu Zhenyang's blood light, but how could they block Lu Zhenyang's Chiyou Axe?
The reality was as I had expected. After the Chi You Axe came into contact with Liu Ruxu's palm, the downward swing was only slightly hindered before it continued to cleave downwards.
In the blink of an eye, the huge blood-colored axe slashed down from Liu Ruxu's head, cleaving her body into two!
I panicked. Wuyue had asked me to bring Liu Ruxu out of the Chiyou Tomb. Who knew that he would get into trouble here as soon as they left? How could I explain this to Wuyue later?
Just as I thought about it, I smiled wryly. I wasn't sure if I could survive this, so why should I worry about my promise to Wuyue? If no one could stop Lu Zhenyang, I probably wouldn't have the chance to see Wuyue again.
While I was thinking about this, Liu Ruxu's body that had been cleaved in half was like a deflated balloon, shrinking back to its original size. Then, the two halves of his body turned into a mass of gray mist. After swimming on the ground for a while, they gathered together and returned to Liu Ruxu's appearance.
After all, he was a Yin Spirit, so it wasn't inconceivable for him to recover. However, after recovering, his body was much fainter than before, leaving behind only a hazy shadow. Not to mention Lu Zhenyang attacking him again, even a gust of wind could blow him away.
Lu Zhenyang coldly snorted and moved his gaze away from him. He didn't attack him again, but turned to look at me.
It seemed that Liu Ruxu's actions had completely infuriated him. This time, Lu Zhenyang didn't say anything. Instead, he gripped the Chiyou Axe and walked towards me.
His body was really small, and it looked strange against the huge Chiyou Axe in his hand. However, at the same time, his body seemed to weigh five hundred kilograms. Every step he took gave off the sound of a giant stomping on the ground. It was so heavy that it felt like he was stepping on my chest.
Seeing him get closer, I exhaled. My heart was filled with despair.
The fatty and Liu Ruxu couldn't stop him. At this moment, I had used up all of my energy. What could I use to stop Lu Zhenyang?
The eight words that the fatty had read for me were still vivid in my mind. 'Encountering Yang brings danger, encountering Yin brings protection'. I didn't know where the second half of the sentence had come true, but the first half was right. In the end, I was forced into this situation by Lu Zhenyang.
Encountering Yin brings protection … Until now, I had already met Wu Yue and Liu Ruxu. They both had Yin Soul bodies, but where was the so-called 'encountering Yin brings protection'?
Who was it going to happen to?
While I was thinking about this, Lu Zhenyang had already walked in front of me. He looked at me in silence for a few seconds, as though he was bidding farewell to me.
After a few seconds, his arm moved slightly and he slowly raised the Chiyou Axe …
At this moment, the sound of a war drum suddenly resounded. It was extremely loud, as though it was reverberating in our ears. Every beat made me shiver, and my blood boiled.
Hearing this sound, Lu Zhenyang and I were stunned …
It was … the sound of the Jiuli War Drum!
Previously, when we had activated Chiyou's inheritance in Chiyou's Shoulder Mound, it was this war drum that had sounded first!
After staying silent for a while, Lu Zhenyang's hoarse and suspicious voice resounded, "Chiyou's inheritance?
You didn't take Chiyou's inheritance? "
Of course, I didn't take Chiyou's inheritance, but I didn't expect that we had already walked out of Chiyou's tomb and had started the inheritance.
No matter what, at the very least, Lu Zhenyang had stopped attacking me.
For this inheritance, Lu Zhenyang had given up too many things. When he heard the sound of the inheritance being activated, how could he care about me? He immediately turned around to look for the source of the war drum's sound.
While he was turning his head, I subconsciously wanted to run away. However, Lu Zhenyang was right next to me. Just now, his aura had locked onto me. Under the suppression of his aura, I couldn't even move my body, let alone run away. I could only stand on the spot and follow Lu Zhenyang's gaze in the direction of the Jiuli War Drum's sound.
The sound of the Jiuli War Drum was extremely loud, and its source was very clear. It was in the darkness not far from us.
I didn't know if it was coming from this dark space or from Chiyou's tomb.
Although the sound of the war drum was very oppressive, it was getting louder and louder. It was different from the previous time when it had come from Chiyou's tomb. This time, the sound of the war drum seemed to be moving towards us.
Lu Zhenyang obviously heard that something was wrong. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he instantly stopped and stood on the spot. It seemed that he didn't understand what was happening.
He didn't understand, and I naturally didn't understand either. Thus, the two of us stood on the spot in a daze, listening to the sound of the war drum that was getting closer and closer. Our gazes were fixed on the darkness behind us.
After an unknown period of time, when the sound of the war drum was so strong that it seemed to be beating next to us, it suddenly stopped.
As the sound stopped, Lu Zhenyang and I abruptly opened our eyes wide.
We didn't know when, but a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness that we were staring at.
The silhouette looked very young as he stood in the darkness. From his expression, he seemed to be extremely old. After looking at us for a while, he clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards us with a doddering look.
His footsteps looked very slow, neither fast nor slow, but his speed was extremely fast. In one second, he was still in the darkness, but in the next, he had directly walked in front of Lu Zhenyang and me.
When I was far away, I could only see his silhouette and couldn't see his appearance clearly.
However, when I was in front of him, I could finally see his appearance clearly. Instantly, I opened my eyes wide and my face was filled with disbelief.
