Chapter Thirteen: Beheading Luo Yu

  "Ah!"

  Hun Hai's painful cry caused Yun Zhongzi to let out a loud roar.

  He clutched his head with both hands, the pain was not ordinary, Yun Zhongzi's face turned ferocious and terrifying, his whole body convulsed violently, he fell to the ground, his legs curled up, he shrunk into a ball on the ground, his whole body twitching violently, his body rolling back and forth.

  In just a moment, Yun Zhongzi collapsed to the ground, using his head to knock against the ground repeatedly, like a machine, while his body was completely soft and weak, spread out on the ground.

  After striking this blow, he retreated to the side, laughing loudly and unceasingly, his triumphant laughter constantly impacting Yun Zhongzi's will. The power of the God-slaying Gun, no one understood it better than him. Although he was now just a residual soul and couldn't fully control the God-slaying Gun, he could still use it once or twice. Everything he had done before was to make Yun Zhongzi mistakenly think that he didn't have the real God-slaying Gun, in order to achieve a sneak attack effect. Now, everything was going exactly as he had planned.

  In the soul sea of Yun Zhongzi, a light point was fiercely impacting his divine soul. The soul sea collapsed piece by piece, and the divine soul was being crushed into pieces by the light point. It seemed that more than half of the divine soul had been shattered, and it was about to dissipate completely.

  At this time, it was Ku Zhú again, who once more saved Yún Zhōng Zǐ from danger.

  Only to see a wisp of mist floating out from the body of the bamboo that had been thrown aside by Yun Zhongzi, the mist flashed and disappeared in an instant, entering Yun Zhongzi's mind, the soul sea was assisted by the mist, and the light point was surrounded by the mist, disappearing in just a moment.

  This speed was simply too fast, Yun Zhongzi only felt that the previous moment he was still in agony, but immediately afterwards, all the painful feelings disappeared completely. Moreover, under his spiritual sense, he saw that his soul sea was rapidly repairing at a visible speed to the naked eye, and even his divine soul was recovering like this. In an instant, Yun Zhongzi's divine soul and soul sea were fully restored.

  Yun Zhongzi felt a bit incredulous, the effect of Ku Zhu was really too great. After recovering, he instantly grasped Ku Zhu tightly, Yun Zhongzi had a feeling of loving it so much that he couldn't bear to let go. He burst out laughing loudly, and then his eyes turned stern, scanning towards Luo Hui.

  In the distance, Luo saw that Yun Zhongzi not only did not die under his own divine spear's attack but also didn't even receive a single injury. He immediately knew something was wrong and at the same time he hated Su Zhu so much that his teeth were clenched. If it weren't for Yun Zhongzi having Su Zhu, he would have died in Luo's hands long ago.

  "Luó Huì, you truly live up to your reputation as the Demon Ancestor. Your mind is so heavy with schemes that I, a poor Daoist, have fallen into your trap three times in such a short period of time. However, your calculations should also come to an end today. Today, I will definitely kill you." Yun Zhongzi's eyes grew increasingly fierce as he held the Lì Zhen Seal and Ku Zhu, attacking Luó Huì.

  Yun Zhongzi was much more cautious this time, as the saying goes, a lion catching a rabbit also uses its full strength. What's more, Luo Hui wasn't a rabbit, but a dormant Fierce Beast of the Primordial Era, although injured, it could still unleash the true power of the God-slaying Gun.

  It was just a moment of complacency that allowed him to be ambushed, almost costing Yun Zhongzi his life. If not for the bitter bamboo in hand, Yun Zhongzi would already be a corpse. Now he can still stand and fight against Luo Hou, which is purely due to luck. Of course, there's also a hint of fate at play, and luck can be considered another kind of strength.

  Because he was afraid of Luo Yu using the real God-slaying Gun again, Yun Zhongzi couldn't attack Luo Yu as recklessly as before. This time, he only had a slight upper hand, but as time passed, Luo Yu's true body was hit by Ku Zhu every time it swept, and each sweep would inflict no small amount of damage. Thus, the tide of battle began to turn in Yun Zhongzi's favor.

  "Damn it, Hong Jun, Yang Mei, you two bastards, I won't go down! Kid, I didn't die at your hands, but at the hands of this cripple." Three hours later, with Luo Hui's voice of discontent echoing, Luo Hui finally dissipated into nothingness, disappearing from the world.

  Yun Zhongzi let out a deep breath, and his entire body relaxed at once. A wave of fatigue surged up to his heart, giving him the desire to sleep. Since arriving in Hongyuan, he hadn't felt drowsy, not even when digging for Pan Gu's fingernails.

  However, Yun Zhongzi did not dare to fall asleep now, because the previous sentence of Luo Hui made him a little surprised, thinking of the huge tree he saw before, Yun Zhongzi guessed that it might be the disabled person mentioned by Luo Hui, but what does this have to do with Yang Mei?

  Yun Zhongzi combined the legend of Luo Yu and Dao Zu with Luo Yu's current situation in this mysterious space, and after careful consideration, he guessed that "in all likelihood, Luo Yu was no match for Dao Zu, and while escaping, he was caught by this giant tree, which seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, trapping him until now, and ultimately killing him. It can be imagined how formidable this giant tree is, and I hope it won't act on its own."

  Yun Zhongzi's idea was not far-fetched after all, and this giant tree had a remarkable origin.

  In the vast expanse of the universe, there was a great sage named Yangmei, who had attained enlightenment through the Empty Heart Willow. His magical powers were comparable to those of the Ancestor Hongjun, but his whereabouts after falling from the heavens were unknown. This giant tree was actually a branch of the Empty Heart Willow, and after Yangmei's enlightenment, this branch also gained spiritual awareness over many years and grew into a towering tree. However, its magical powers were far inferior to those of the Empty Heart Willow. It so happened that the declining Luo Xiu encountered him, intending to devour the giant tree, but he underestimated it. He was trapped here for countless years, not only failing to make any progress but also injuring the last remnants of his soul's foundation, until Yun Zhongzi arrived.

  Put away the cracked town seal and the Ruyi ring, then place the bitter bamboo beside him. Yun Zhongzi swallowed a dan medicine he got from Laozi, sat down cross-legged, and began to recover his internal skills. His internal skills were already exhausted, and if he didn't recover quickly, who knows what unexpected event would occur? Of course, Yun Zhongzi wouldn't put all his mind into recovering his skills; he also had to secretly guard against this big tree.

  Half a time unit passed, and nothing unexpected happened. Yun Zhongzi restored all his magical powers and his body's magical powers became even more condensed, which made Yun Zhongzi overjoyed. After a great battle, although he was wounded in many places, it wasn't without its benefits.

  At this time, Yun Zhongzi's mind became active. Since Luo Hui was dead, what about his Divine Gun and the Twelve-Piece Black Lotus of Destruction? These two treasures were not simple, anyone who saw them would be moved, let alone Yun Zhongzi, a modern man who had crossed over from listening to the myths of the Desolate Ancient World.

  However, Luo Ye had never used the true Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus before, otherwise it would be hard to say who would live or die.

  Therefore, Yun Zhongzi did not hold any hope for the Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus. He was certain that the Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus was not in Luo Ye's hands. As for whose hands it was in, he didn't have the mind to think about that right now.

  Although he didn't have much hope for the Twelve Products of Destruction, Black Lotus, Luo You had used the real God-Slaying Gun before. This was something Yun Zhongzi couldn't say with 100% certainty, but at least he had more than a 90% guarantee. The destructive power that could shatter the soul sea was something that only the God-Slaying Gun possessed, aside from perhaps the Pangu Flag, the Exterminating Sword of the Immortals, and the Primordial Slaughterer of the Underworld River's Old Ancestor, the two swords of the Alms Bowl. However, it was clear that these treasures wouldn't appear here. Moreover, if Luo You had any other gun-type artifacts with attacking properties against divine souls, Yun Zhongzi wasn't quite convinced. Otherwise, Luo You's luck would be a bit too heaven-defying, right?

  No matter what, Yun Zhongzi now only wants to find the God-slaying Gun. If he gets the God-slaying Gun, his strength will definitely increase greatly. Not to mention being on par with Quasi-Saints, at least when facing the peak of Daluo Golden Immortals, he will be under no pressure.

  After Luo's death, nothing useful was left here. In front of him, except for the black fog, there were only the fragments of Jia Lian Tai and Jia Yi Shen Gun. Yun Zhong Zi looked at the black fog with a gloomy expression, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the Twelve-Piece Destruction Black Lotus was obtained by the giant tree? And was the Yi Shen Gun snatched away by him in the instant of Luo's death?"

  At the thought of this possibility, Yun Zhongzi's face turned ugly. If it were true, he would definitely not get any of these two treasures. However, it was impossible for him to give up like that. The difference between getting and not getting these two treasures was truly like heaven and earth. How could Yun Zhongzi give up? As long as there was a slight possibility, he would try to fight for it.

  Taking a deep breath, his eyes became resolute, and he adjusted all his magical powers to their peak. He stepped forward, walking up to the front of the black fog, took out the Town Seal, and instantly threw it at the black fog. At the same time, he took out the Ring of Compliance, just in case.

  A loud crash, the seal of the town directly smashed onto the black fog, but only made the black fog roll over. Yun Zhongzi was shocked and prepared the Ring of Intent, planning to release it in case something unexpected happened.

  The result was waiting for a moment but nothing happened, some unexpected surprises, but also secretly put down his heart.

  Yun Zhongzi then once again raised the Lietu Town Seal and slammed it towards the black fog, but the black fog still only churned without any other reaction. After several attempts at probing like this, Yun Zhongzi completely put his mind at ease and began crazily casting out the Lietu Town Seal. Of course, because of the previous lesson, Yun Zhongzi was still secretly on guard, he didn't want to once again experience that feeling of being on the verge of death. He repeatedly slammed into the black fog, while also sitting cross-legged in this space, absorbing the thick yuanqi, so as to cultivate himself.

  Repeating this process ceaselessly, Yun Zhongzi mechanically continued to cast the Shattering Seal in space. As time passed, the black fog grew thinner and thinner, and at the same time, the scene within the black fog slowly began to emerge.
