889. Chapter 887: So-called Methods

Lu Yuan's heart shuddered violently, his face turning extremely shocked!

Those three copper coins of the opponent looked nothing special on the surface, even appearing somewhat plain and antiquated.

However, when the silver light blade sliced toward him, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching! The power of that silver light blade was terrifying! "Damn it! Is this your so-called method?"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, his face flushing red.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't need to exert so much effort; even just unleashing his Fobao or pulling out a few trump cards would be enough to suppress the opponent.

But right now his cultivation is still shallow, and the bloodline spiritual power in his dantian hasn't fully recovered, so he truly cannot unleash his full strength.

Moreover, he could see that although the opponent's aura was overbearing, they actually lacked much killing intent.

Otherwise, this strike would not have been merely a probe.

In the blink of an thought, Lu Yuan had already guessed the opponent's purpose.

The opponent clearly did not intend to kill him, but had some other aim.

Thinking this through, Lu Yuan's mind eased slightly, and the wary look on his face gradually faded.

Even so, he still refused to admit defeat.

A flash of cold light in his eyes, Lu Yuan shook his right arm in the air, and the Crimson Snow Sword Marrow instantly leapt from its sheath.

"Devour!"

Accompanied by a long, angry howl, the Crimson Snow Sword Marrow carried an unmatched sharp sword aura as it tore through the air, fiercely slashing at the silver light blade opposite.

Boom—! The two sword lights collided violently in the void, erupting in a fierce roar and stirring up a visible ripple of spiritual power.

However, in this exchange, the silver light blade maintained the dominant advantage, and after repeated clashes it completely collapsed and burst apart.

"Hiss!"

Lu Yuan's face darkened slightly, his heart chilled! The opponent's strength was obviously beyond imagination; if they continued fighting, his situation would only become more passive.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, a flash of resolve crossing his eyes.

In this battle, he absolutely cannot retreat! Otherwise, once the opponent gains the upper hand, he will fall into a hopeless situation and be even less able to contend with them.

"Since you're seeking death, I'll grant it!"

Boom—! Lu Yuan let out a furious roar, his aura surging violently as a thick, dazzling blue spiritual light shot up instantly, gathering above his head in some peculiar trajectory.

Boom—! A sudden clap of thunder rang out, as if a bolt of lightning had abruptly descended from the void! "Huh?"

Seeing this astonishing sight, Li Defa's eyes narrowed sharply, a glint of light flashing and vanishing.

As his words fell, Li Defa waved his right hand, and the three silver copper coins floating in the void vanished instantly!

No sooner had his words finished than Li Defa flicked his right hand—the three silver copper coins hovering in midair vanished instantly!

Immediately after, a dull thunderous roar followed, causing the entire mountain peak to tremble violently.

Immediately after, a deep, muffled boom rang out, and the entire mountain peak trembled violently.

Lu Yuan let out a miserable cry, blood spurting from his chest as he was struck by the opponent's palm, vomiting blood and falling halfway down.

Lu Yuan cried out in agony, blood gushing from his chest; struck by the opponent's palm, he spat blood and plummeted from midair.

Li Defa's figure flickered as he descended from the high platform, landing on a protruding rock on the mountainside, looking down at Lu Yuan from above.

Lu Yuan clutched his chest in a sorry state, lifted his head, and saw that the high place where the opponent stood was emitting a blinding golden light! Upon closer inspection, he realized that this golden mass was none other than the three silver copper coins from before—namely, Li Defa's attack! "Is this… your method?" Lu Yuan asked through gritted teeth, his face grim.

"Heh, what's a mere trick? Let me tell you, this is merely a secret treasure of mine!" Li Defa laughed arrogantly, his face full of smug satisfaction.

"Hehe, what's this paltry trick? Let me tell you, this is merely a secret device of mine!" Li Defa gave an arrogant smile, his face brimming with self-satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face changed, his eyelids twitching nonstop.

He hadn't expected the opponent's status to be so exalted that they carried a secret treasure on their person.

Now the trouble is truly serious! "Kid, do you know fear now?" Li Defa's face darkened, killing intent surging in his eyes.

"Do you really think I have no backup?"

Lu Yuan's face sank, and he immediately prepared to unleash his Fobao.

But just then, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm! "Huh? How… could it be… this fast?"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted, his face changing again! He saw a silver stream of light whistling from afar, its speed far surpassing that of the three earlier silver copper coins.

However, this silver light was clearly not aimed at Li Defa.

However, this silver light was clearly not aimed at Li Defa.

Li Defa also noticed that silver light, his face stiffening involuntarily! "Not good!"

Having no time to react, Li Defa immediately withdrew hastily.

But he was still a step too late.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, a silver-bright blade of light descended from the heavens, viciously chopping into Li Defa's back, directly shredding his protective spiritual power and leaving a horrifying blade scar! "Damn it!"

Li Defa cursed angrily, his steps staggering as he nearly fell to the ground, but he ultimately steadied himself, avoiding an embarrassing scene.

"Hmph! Lu Yuan, I've remembered you!"

Li Defa gritted his teeth in anger, then turned and left without looking back.

After he left, a figure in a green robe slowly walked into the Martial Training Hall.

He was a middle-aged man, his whole body emanating a gloomy, overbearing aura, clearly of extraordinary origin at a glance.

His gaze swept over and then settled on Lu Yuan lying on the ground, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

His gaze swept briefly, then focused on Lu Yuan lying on the ground, a cold light flashing in his eyes before vanishing.

The middle-aged man let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with a sinister chill.

The middle-aged man gave a cold snort, a sinister chill flashing in his eyes.

"Cough—cough…"

Lu Yuan blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, he struggled to open his eyes, and deeply bowed toward the other party: "Greet... Greetings, Elder Mo!"

The middle-aged man slowly shook his head and said coldly: "No need for formalities!"

"Disciple has failed to meet Uncle-Master's expectations; please, Elder Mo, punish me!"

Lu Yuan struggled to get up, bowed deeply, his face full of shame.

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed; a fleeting hint of worry flickered in his eyes, barely perceptible.

"Forget it!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, then abruptly changed tone: "Speak up—why did you act on your own?"

"This…"

Hearing the question, Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly, thoughts surged in his mind, a tangle of hesitation.

After a moment's hesitation, he still chose to confess frankly.

Because he knew that Elder Mo's temperament differed from other elders; he was a typical hardliner.

Lying to Elder Mo would be utterly unwise!

"What!"

After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Elder Mo instantly flew into a rage!

The sect's genius, actually ambushed by a fellow disciple and nearly killed here! This is utterly outrageous! "Utterly outrageous! That bastard... dared openly defy sect rules, simply unforgivable!"

Elder Mo gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, his face twisting.

"Lu Yuan, rest assured! As for this matter, I, Elder Mo, will certainly not let it go!"

Elder Mo swept his sleeves and roared: "I will immediately convene the sect's high-level meeting; then I will surely seek justice for you!"

His words lingered in the mountain forest long after, and a flash of gratitude crossed Lu Yuan's eyes.

Although he suffered grave injuries, he managed to preserve his life—at least he wouldn't die in this desolate wilderness. (End of chapter)
