Chapter 191: Opportunistic Trickery?

Right before the shocked gazes of the few, the Five-Colored Gu Poison seemed to be pulled by some force, rushing rapidly toward Lu Tianyu's abdomen.

Then, in an instant, it vanished.

Crimson blood appeared at the small hole on the surface of Lu Tianyu's fist, but it quickly returned to normal.

Lu Tianyu spread his hands and grinned at the shocked woman in the pink dress: "This Five-Colored Gu Poison is no good; it's not even enough to get stuck in my teeth."

"You had better bring out the Seven-Colored Gu Poison, or the Ten-Colored Gu Poison, or the Hundred-Colored Gu Poison, and see if those work!"

A rare smile appeared on Cui Jinjia's face.

This kid was always full of surprises and could always solve problems that even she could not.

Her trip here had been well worth it.

The silver-haired man exclaimed: "How is this possible?"

"What kind of dantian do you have? To actually be able to absorb the Five-Colored Gu Poison!"

His head was buzzing, his face filled with disbelief.

He had initially suspected that Lu Tianyu was only temporarily suppressing the Five-Colored Gu Poison, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Lu Tianyu looked so calm and composed; there was no sign of him struggling to suppress the Gu poison at all.

The problem must lie within Lu Tianyu's dantian; there was something inside his dantian he did not know about that could neutralize the Five-Colored Gu Poison.

The woman in the pink dress let out a cold snort: "Isn't it just that you relied on something you obtained from the Forbidden Abyss in the Bahuang Xingyu to neutralize my Five-Colored Gu Poison?"

"Nothing but a cheap trick!"

"Take this!"

As she spoke, her body suddenly became illusory, and she took a step forward.

It did not stop there; two steps, three steps, four steps...

With every step taken, an illusory female figure appeared.

By the time she had taken eight steps, eight shadows had appeared, which then gradually became solid.

"Strike!"

Eight identical women surrounded Lu Tianyu, launching attacks one after another.

At a glance, the figures of all eight women were solid, and their attacks were real.

It was equivalent to eight people launching an attack on Lu Tianyu.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on the silver-haired man's face: "To think my disciple has actually mastered the Heaven-Peering Divine Steps; this truly exceeds my expectations!"

"Disciple, go easy on him, don't kill him!"

Lu Tianyu let out a cold snort: "Kill me? You are thinking too much!"

Hum!

He directly activated his defensive barrier.

A mutated barrier, formed from a large mass of Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi, took the shape of five-colored battle armor around his body.

Bang bang bang~

The attacks from the woman in the pink dress struck Lu Tianyu one after another.

Lu Tianyu stood firm, his expression unchanged: "Your attacks are like tickling; can't you put some effort into it!"

He scratched his head: "I forgot you are a woman; your strength is naturally small. Aside from when you are giving a massage, you can't exert any real power at all!"

"A woman is just a woman; it's no use."

He did not strike back immediately.

He knew the woman had not used her full strength, and this was the perfect opportunity to test how much damage his armor could withstand.

Where exactly was the limit of this armor, a mixture of Gang Qi and Spiritual Energy, in resisting blows?

The silver-haired man looked puzzled: "What kind of armor is this?"

"Soft yet firm, and it can even absorb damage?"

He was somewhat astonished.

He had never seen armor formed from Spiritual Energy like this before.

The attacks hit it and were directly absorbed.

Looking at Lu Tianyu, he had not suffered even the slightest bit of damage.

This was too strange!

Ordinary Gang Qi barriers would emit the sound of metal colliding when struck.

Yet Lu Tianyu's armor looked flimsy, but could absorb attacks; it was too strange.

Moreover, he could sense that this armor of Lu Tianyu's was not purely Spiritual Energy, nor was it purely Gang Qi.

It was a Fusion of Gang Qi and Spiritual Energy!

How could this be?

As a cultivator at the Great Vehicle Stage, according to his understanding, Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi were as incompatible as water and fire.

This guy had not only fused them together, but it looked like a perfect fusion; he was simply a freak!

The woman in the pink dress felt as if she were hitting cotton, or perhaps leather.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe or explain.

And this armor could actually absorb one's attacks!

She sneered coldly: "This lady only used fifty percent of her strength; now I will use eighty percent, and I want to see how many times you can withstand my attacks!"

Hum!

The aura around her surged by more than double, and she exerted her full strength to drive the eight figures to launch a fierce assault on Lu Tianyu.

Sure enough, after two rounds of attacks, the color of Lu Tianyu's armor dimmed, looking as if it were on the verge of collapse.

The silver-haired man laughed when he saw this: "A tortoise shell is only for defense; it can only passively take a beating and be used as a living target. It's useless!"

"You shouldn't be able to hold on any longer now!"

"Hehehe!" A warm smile appeared on Lu Tianyu's face, "That is indeed true, I cannot hold on any longer; a woman's attacks are sometimes quite formidable."

As he spoke, the armor on his body shattered into pieces, exploding outward like a bomb.

In an instant, it engulfed the eight shadows.

Seven of those shadows vanished without a trace.

The remaining figure stumbled as she flew back over ten meters, staring at Lu Tianyu with a horrified expression: "What kind of battle armor is this?"

"It can absorb my attacks and release them back; how is that possible?"

"Wouldn't it blow yourself to death?"

But seeing another layer of battle armor appear on the surface of Lu Tianyu's body, her pretty face suddenly turned somewhat pale.

Damn it, with layer after layer, just how many more are there inside?

My attacks can't even break his defense; how is this supposed to be fought?

Moreover, this guy was still smiling as he looked at her, beckoning with his finger: "Come again!"

"Then come again!"

Provoked, the woman in the pink dress became furious: "I haven't even used my weapon yet!"

Clang!

She took out her life-bound precious sword from her Storage Ring, the Purple Firmament Precious Sword!

This brat's words were too excessive; he was actually this arrogant and rude.

In all these years, when had she ever been treated with such contempt?

This was simply a naked insult to her!

Lu Tianyu sneered disdainfully: "It seems I haven't used a weapon either."

"Come on, break my defense first, then we'll talk!"

He wanted to see just how strong his defensive power really was.

But the silver-haired man did not give him that chance.

He shouted: "Disciple, stop!"

"This brat's battle armor is strange; it is reinforced with things obtained from the Forbidden Abyss, it is not so easy to break!"

"We have other matters to attend to; we cannot waste time on his tortoise shell, it will delay important business!"

The silver-haired man waved his sleeve to wrap around the woman in the pink dress, and with a flash, they were in the air.

He stared coldly at Lu Tianyu: "Brat, your fortune is not small!"

"We will let you go for now this time, but next time we will definitely break your tortoise shell!"

The woman in the pink dress also stared at Lu Tianyu with extreme unwillingness, her eyes surging with fighting spirit: "I'll let you go this time, but next time I will definitely make you kneel and beg for mercy!"
