Chapter 408: This Matter Is Not Simple

"How could it be like this? Which part exactly went wrong!"

No matter how much Liu Rusheng racked his brains, he could not figure out where he had revealed a flaw.

His plan should have been flawless, yet now it was a total failure. What was even more infuriating was that he didn't even know where he had lost, becoming someone else's prisoner in the blink of an eye.

"But, shouldn't you already be dead?" Checking again, he was right; the opponent's body was still right there with him, and no matter how he looked at it, it was thoroughly dead.

The lingering power on this corpse was still present, a presence that definitely only belonged to an expert among experts; it looked thoroughly dead in every way.

If it were a secret technique like a clone, it would definitely have vanished after being killed, rather than remaining perfectly intact as it was now.

The situation before his eyes exceeded the scope of his knowledge. Even though he scratched his scalp raw, he could not figure out where exactly the problem lay.

How long had he been asleep? How had this World become so unrecognizable?

No matter how vast his experience was, he did not know that Shen Yu possessed a life-saving ultimate skill called "Blood Rebirth." As long as a drop of blood remained, a person could come back to life.

Moreover, Shen Yu had the life-saving Blood Glaze, which could trade for his life no matter what. Even if he truly died, he could live again.

However, while this life-saving ultimate skill was good, it was just a bit taxing. If Liu Rusheng had observed carefully, he would have discovered that Shen Yu's face was pale and his aura was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Having walked the pugilistic world for so long, Shen Yu had encountered many precarious situations, but being directly finished off by someone like today was absolutely unprecedented.

Right now, a fire was burning in his heart. If he hadn't been in the middle of recovering, he would have already gone up to slap this old immortal; how could he have given him the chance to let his mind wander?

He had never suffered such a big loss before. If he didn't finish you off today, it would be hard to quell the hatred in his heart!

"Hoo, hoo!" Exhaling two mouthfuls of turbid air in succession, Shen Yu's internal energy recovered slightly, and only then did he look at the imprisoned Liu Rusheng.

Terrifying Sword Intent surged from Shen Yu's body; the Sword Qi stirred the winds and clouds, tearing the earth apart, and the aura of death immediately rushed toward him.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Looking at Shen Yu, then looking at the corpse he had tucked away, Liu Rusheng was truly stunned. This shouldn't be.

"There is nothing impossible in this world. Who said that one cannot live after dying!"

"Can one live after dying?" His eyes widened abruptly; Liu Rusheng seemed to realize something. Finding possibility within the impossible—so that was it. Was this the difference between him and these peerless Heavenly Pride?

Others fall off a cliff and can obtain someone else's inheritance or rare treasures and fruits, subsequently increasing their strength greatly.

When ordinary people like them fall off a cliff, breaking arms and legs is considered lucky; many people die from the fall. Inheritance? Being able to survive is already good enough.

This is the difference; the gap is not just a little bit.

Especially this person before him, who had unprecedentedly broken through the limits of the World. This was something even old monsters like them couldn't do, and they hadn't even heard of it before.

The Heavenly Pride of the past, while formidable, were not strong enough to break through the limits, yet this one before him had done exactly that. One could see how monstrous the opponent was.

But even if he was a monster, no one told him he could be monstrous to this degree. Damn it, he could even live after dying; how were ordinary people like them supposed to live?

If Shen Yu understood what the other was thinking, he might look up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and tell him, "This isn't being favored by heaven and earth; this is cheating in the pugilistic world."

A life of cheating is something you cannot imagine.

Also, it wasn't as if no one had broken through the limits of the World before; that person was called Mu Zishan. Just because you haven't seen it or heard of it doesn't mean he didn't exist.

"Wait!" Seeing the speed at which the Sword Qi was condensing gradually slow down, Liu Rusheng knew the opponent was about to act. This feeling of palpitations, like needles on his back, grew stronger by the second.

Liu Rusheng panicked a little. This was likely the closest he had been to death since stepping into the pugilistic world.

If this Sword Qi were to fall, he feared he would truly have no chance. He struggled desperately, but it was all to no avail; this Prison was too strong, suppressing him tightly and leaving no chance at all.

"I know the secret of the Blood Yin Fruit. Consuming this fruit can even allow one to transcend and break through the limits."

"With your level of genius, as long as you can obtain the true Blood Yin Fruit, you will inevitably soar to the sky."

"If you spare me this once, I will tell you all my secrets, and I can tell you about all sorts of other opportunities!"

Looking at Shen Yu anxiously, he desperately hoped the other would agree. He had just tried desperately countless times, but the restraints on his body simply wouldn't break.

At this moment, Liu Rusheng felt nothing but anxiety and regret. If he had just kept a low profile, the other might never have discovered his existence.

He just had to be cocky and try to pull off something big, and as a result, he ended up burying himself.

If one could really kill such a Heavenly Pride, whose strength was completely unreasonable, it would inevitably allow one to advance by leaps and bounds, or even ascend to the heavens in one step.

But why hadn't he thought about it from another angle? Someone so favored by heaven and earth is not exactly easy to kill.

Greed truly kills, but it was too late to say anything now!

"I don't want to know these secrets, and I want your Blood Yin Fruit even less. As for the opportunities you speak of, who are you trying to fool? If there were such good things, you would have already taken them yourself!"

The Sword Qi was fully condensed, and Shen Yu's face was also somewhat pale. For him, first performing Blood Rebirth and then condensing such Sword Qi, the consumption was truly a bit too much.

However, fortunately, everything was about to end.

"You don't even want the Blood Yin Fruit? That is a supreme tool for increasing internal energy!"

"The Blood Yin Fruit requires human lives as the price; I don't covet such things!"

The Blood Yin Fruit needs to be planted in a human heart; it is at the cost of human lives. Even if he agreed to such a cruel thing, the System wouldn't agree.

The other's level held no attraction for him; he was more attracted to the dead version of him—perhaps he could sign for something big.

"Die for me!" The Sword Qi cut through the sky, carrying infinite brilliance, surpassing the limits of human perception, and in the blink of an eye, it struck toward Liu Rusheng.

"You!" Facing the murderous Shen Yu, Liu Rusheng had an intuition that he would perish under this Sword Qi.

Under this Sword Qi aimed directly at him, even if he had consumed a large amount of Blood Yin Fruit, and even if his vitality was so vigorous that any injury could heal quickly, he would still die.

His intuition had never been wrong before, and thinking about it now, it wouldn't be wrong either, which meant he probably really couldn't hold on any longer.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about abandoning this body to start over, but Bai Tu's recent encounter was still fresh in his memory.

The idiot who occupied Bai Tu had also thought about abandoning the body to use the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, but what was the result? He didn't escape; instead, he died even faster.

Liu Rusheng already felt it; that extremely dangerous aura was everywhere, which meant the surrounding space was under the opponent's control, and he could not escape no matter what.

"Wait, wait!" Liu Rusheng tried desperately to shout, wanting to make the other stop, but it was all in vain; in an instant, the Sword Qi engulfed him.

It seemed as if only a dazzling light flashed on the spot; wherever the light of the Sword Qi passed, everything turned into nothingness.

Liu Rusheng didn't even let out a final scream before he completely dissipated into the void.

Perhaps even before he died, he was regretting the one who had schemed to obtain the Blood Yin Fruit back then, thinking of taking him and those experts down in one fell swoop.

He hadn't expected this guy to be even more formidable than imagined, forcing him to exhaust his life's strength to seal him, which also led to his own deep slumber.

Having finally waited to wake up again, thinking of hiding behind the scenes to develop, he couldn't help but reveal himself out of greed after encountering Shen Yu.

As it turned out, before they could even start acting recklessly, they were finished off by Shen Yu; just thinking about it makes it feel truly miserable.
