939. Chapter 937: Implicated

"Damn it, they must have already fallen victim to foul play!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were about to burst.

Although the purple jade spirit fruit is good, life is more precious; how could he bear to let those people die in his place?

"No way! This matter must not be spread; otherwise I will surely be implicated."

"No matter what, we should hurry and leave!"

Thinking this, Lu Yuan kept moving, returning along the original path.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

"Hahaha... I have finally mastered the 'Tiger Slaughter Tyrant Fist'!"

Lin Ye threw his head back and laughed, his condition superb.

The Tiger Slaughter Tyrant Fist is an extraordinarily exceptional martial technique.

It is said to have been created by a master of the True Origin Realm.

This move embodies an overbearing fierce fist intent, able to borrow the momentum of mountains to unleash tremendous power.

Lin Ye threw eight hundred punches in one breath.

Each punch striking the void burst with a muffled thunder-like explosion, astonishing power.

"My physical strength has reached thirty thousand catties!"

Feeling his own domineering strength, Lin Ye's eyes shone with excitement.

"Roar~!"

Just then, a sudden howl echoed through the cave.

Immediately after, a figure swift as lightning flashed across the sky and arrived inside the cave in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Yuan returned to the cave dwelling, the sun was already setting.

Swish! A flash of cold light shot from the corner of his eye straight to his throat, making his hairs stand on end.

"Not good!"

The next moment, Lu Yuan's head spun, barely avoiding the deadly attack.

Bang! The cold light grazed Lu Yuan's neck, shattering a rock and embedding deep into the earth.

"Who?"

Lu Yuan exploded in anger.

"Hehe, you weren't trying to kill me, old man? I've come in person today!"

A gloomy, eerie voice floated about, causing goosebumps to erupt all over Lu Yuan's body.

"Is it you?"

Lu Yuan lifted his gaze, his pupils constricting sharply.

The comer was none other than the sect leader of the Iron Clad Sect, Zhao Tieyun.

At this moment, Zhao Tieyun's face was withered, his eyes dull and lifeless, lying on the bed like a corpse.

"Your strength... has actually recovered?"

Looking at Zhao Tieyun, Lu Yuan's pupils contracted violently.

"Hehe, thanks to you!"

"If not for this, how could I, old man, have recovered?"

Zhao Tieyun coldly stared at Lu Yuan.

This time, if Lu Yuan had not presented the spiritual medicine to the Iron Clad Sect, Zhao Tieyun would not have been able to recover.

"Lu Yuan, considering you saved me once, I will spare your life!"

Zhao Tieyun slowly sat up, a cold light flashing in his eyes:

"However, I will abolish your martial arts and expel you from the sect to repay your kindness in saving me."

In the midst of his words, a cluster of red flames appeared.

The flames blazed fiercely, scorching heat waves spreading out.

"Is this... the Blazing Yang Fire?"

Seeing this fire, Lu Yuan's pupils constricted sharply.

The red flames are a combination of nine special flames, possessing extraordinarily strange power.

Blazing Yang Fire is ranked among the top twenty on the Exotic Fire Ranking.

Throughout the entire Azure Cloud Prefecture, only two half-step martial masters possess it.

"Lu Yuan, rest assured, as long as you obediently confess and clear the evidence of guilt, I guarantee your safe departure..."

"You're dreaming!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly shouted: "Even if I fight to the death, I will not tell you anything about the spiritual medicine and the secret!"

"Since you are obstinate and unresponsive, then I cannot be blamed!"

Hum! As the words fell, Zhao Tieyun flicked his finger.

In an instant, the red flames roared up, turning into flames several zhang long that lashed toward Lu Yuan.

Under the scorching heat, Lu Yuan's body stiffened, unable to move.

"It's over!"

Feeling the imminent danger sweeping toward him, Lu Yuan's heart sank. "Huh?"

But just as the flames were about to engulf Lu Yuan, a mighty sword qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking the flames.

Clang! Sparks flew everywhere.

"Who dares to ruin our sect's business?"

Zhao Tieyun flew into a rage, lifted his gaze, but found no one else in the cave.

Whoosh! The next instant, a ripping sound burst forth, and a dagger stabbed forward fiercely.

Ding-ling!

Zhao Tieyun reacted extremely fast, slapping his palm onto the dagger, shattering it, then leapt aside to evade the ambush.

"Who exactly are you, sir?"

Zhao Tieyun's expression grew solemn.

The ambush attacker paid no heed, charging forward again.

Clang clang clang……

In a moment, they were locked in close combat.

Shortly after.

Pfft!

Zhao Tieyun's chest and abdomen were pierced by the dagger, blood pouring out.

Bang! The next moment, a leg kicked Zhao Tieyun in the chest, sending him flying several meters before he crashed to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

He spat out several mouthfuls of clotted blood, Zhao Tieyun's face filled with horror.

He, a peak Sixth Level Martial Disciple, couldn't even withstand a single kick from the opponent! The opponent's strength was absolutely far greater than his! "I am a disciple of the Iron Clad Sect!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Tieyun growled:

"Be sensible, retreat now, or else when my fellow disciples arrive, they'll make you unable to live or die."

"Hmph, I advise you to just hand over the thing!"

With a light snort, a boy about fifteen years old walked into the cave.

The boy's face was ordinary, except for his thick lips, high nose bridge, and an air of abundant arrogance.

At his waist hung a badge, shining with golden light.

Outer Gate Enforcement Squad Member of the Iron Clad Sect! The boy's name was Chen Mingjie, a personally transmitted disciple of Zhao Tieyun, having reached the Seventh Level of Martial Disciple, his strength formidable.

"You..."

Seeing this, Zhao Tieyun's face turned ashen.

"Chen Mingjie, don't bully people too much!"

Zhao Tieyun gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yuan has already betrayed the sect and taken refuge with the Huangfu Clan; do you intend to become enemies of the Huangfu Clan?"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Mingjie's face showed contempt.

"Zhao Tieyun, you'd better take care of yourself first!"

"Although the Huangfu Clan is strong, unfortunately, you are not qualified to be friends."

Saying this, Chen Mingjie shifted his tone: "Moreover, I haven't betrayed the sect; I merely reclaimed what originally belonged to me."

As his words fell, Chen Mingjie strode straight toward Lu Yuan.

"You..."

Sensing Chen Mingjie's gaze, Zhao Tieyun's face filled with resentment.

But he knew that, given Chen Mingjie's temperament, he would likely not let it rest.

Thus, Zhao Tieyun struggled to his feet and walked toward Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, I hope you can guard the secret of the spiritual medicine."

Zhao Tieyun sighed softly: "It's a pity you have no chance."

"What?"

His brows rose, Lu Yuan wore a look of confusion.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Lu Yuan felt his mind sink slightly, falling into a daze.

Thud!

Before Lu Yuan could react, someone pressed a palm onto his shoulder and threw him to the ground.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, Chen Mingjie laughed incessantly: "Zhao Tieyun, you think he's been poisoned by my Soul-Devouring Poison and will obediently hand over the spiritual medicine?"

"You're wrong!"

"The spiritual medicine will not only go to me, but your souls will also belong to me!"

At the end, Chen Mingjie licked his scarlet lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"What?"

"You actually used Soul-Devouring Poison to harm a fellow sect member?!"

Lu Yuan's face flushed crimson, he was furious beyond measure.

Soul-Devouring Poison, one of the Three Great Poisons of Qingyun Prefecture, is incredibly toxic; even a Qi Refining Realm cultivator cannot withstand it.

Moreover, Soul-Devouring Poison can absorb soul essence to strengthen oneself; it is an evil toxin of the demonic path! (End of chapter)
