Chapter 732: Execution

"Arrogant brat, prepare to meet your end." The old man was furious. He believed that Chen Yu was just being stubborn like a dead duck that refuses to admit defeat. With a violent shout, he pointed his right hand into the void, and the leaves behind him condensed into Sword Light, whistling toward Chen Yu.

As for Wu Yutian's strength, it had already surpassed over ninety percent of the people in this world. After all, although Dharma Cultivators existed, they were absolutely not as numerous as Martial Artists. If he unleashed his full strength, three Martial Ancestors would have no chance of winning against him in a fight.

It was just that this guy was unlucky; the person he ran into today was Chen Yu.

Watching the Sword Light whistling across the sky, Chen Yu grinned. He took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he was already in mid-air. With a beckon of his right hand, Li Chen appeared in his grasp. Chen Yu's Li Chen trembled in his hand, and he slashed forward with a sword strike.

A crimson Sword Radiance several feet long formed instantly, meeting the Sword Light that filled the sky. With a boom, Wu Yutian's figure shook slightly, then a mouthful of blood sprayed out. His body flew backward rapidly, and with a bang, he slammed into a large tree.

The tree, as thick as a bowl, was snapped in two by the impact. He knelt on one knee on the ground, raised his head in shock, stared fixedly at Chen Yu, and shouted in disbelief: "You are a Dharma Cultivator? How could you be a Dharma Cultivator?"

"I told you." Chen Yu's figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as he flew to stand before Wu Yutian. He smiled slightly and said: "If you cannot discern a person's strength, it is either because they are an ordinary person, or their realm is far beyond your own. Even now, do you still not understand the meaning of my words?"

"So you are a Dharma Cultivator. No wonder my junior brother was defeated so miserably, no wonder..." Wu Yutian's face was deathly pale. He muttered: "It was my arrogance. I did not expect that at less than thirty years of age, you would actually possess such formidable strength."

"Regretting it now is not too late." Chen Yu put away Li Chen and said indifferently: "Being able to step into the realm of a Half-step Dharma Cultivator is already extremely rare. If I were you, I would ignore worldly affairs from now on, cultivate with focus, and break through to that supreme Great Dao as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sir. I understand. Please rest assured, sir; from this day forward, I will not concern myself with worldly affairs and will focus solely on cultivation." Wu Yutian's face was ashen. He was unwilling to accept this, but he had no other choice; after all, the young man before him was far superior in strength.

Now that the other party was willing to let him go, he had essentially been granted a new lease on life, so whether he was willing or not, he had to accept his fate.

"If you had realized this sooner, why would you have brought this humiliation upon yourself?" Chen Yu smiled and waved his hand: "You may go."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Wu Yutian rose cautiously, bowed deeply to Chen Yu, and then took a step forward. His figure flashed, and he was about to vanish into the night.

But at this very moment, a red shadow suddenly flashed by. Immediately following, the emotionless face of Chixiao appeared, and a sharp murderous intent locked onto Wu Yutian.

Wu Yutian revealed a look of terror. This was also a Dharma Cultivator, and judging by her strength, it was only higher than Chen Yu's, not lower.

A red thread formed in mid-air, flashing past Wu Yutian's neck.

With a *pu* sound, a head soared into the sky. Wu Yutian's headless body maintained its forward-fleeing posture. After losing his head, he still lunged forward for several dozen meters before collapsing onto the ground with a thud.

"You..." Chen Yu was startled. How could Chixiao suddenly appear here?

"Chen Yu, do you know what I dislike most about you?" Chixiao glanced at the dead Wu Yutian and said indifferently: "Your methods are not decisive enough; you lack a sense of ruthless determination."

"His cultivation was not easy to come by. If he had a heart of repentance, what is wrong with letting him go?" Chen Yu said, somewhat speechless.

"Since you want to climb to the top, since you want to become a powerhouse, then put away that pity of yours." Chixiao sneered: "Otherwise, one day you will regret it."

Chen Yu stopped talking. In truth, what Chixiao said had some merit, but as a Yisheng, he possessed a benevolent heart by nature. The act of killing someone to the last man was something he truly could not bring himself to do.

"Looking at your strength, you have made quite a bit of progress recently." Chixiao looked at Chen Yu and said: "Do not forget what you promised me."

"In this world, there really is no shortcut." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "The reason I made progress is entirely due to luck."

"Why is it that I don't have such good luck?" Chixiao sneered.

"You have already progressed fast enough. You must know that the owner of this body was just an ordinary person." Chen Yu gave a bitter smile and said: "Your previous incarnation was a Dharma Cultivator expert. After rebirth, you broke through to the Primordial Qi Realm in a short time, and there is a faint trend of breaking through to the Second Realm, the Entering the Dao Realm. This is something an average person could never achieve."

"That is exactly the problem. My true realm was originally far beyond the Entering the Dao Realm." Chixiao said: "Breaking through to the Primordial Qi Realm went smoothly, but after reaching the peak of the Primordial Qi Realm, my Cultivation stagnated."

"And no matter how I cultivate, my Original Power is like scattered sand; it will not gather. Furthermore, there is a faint danger of the Primordial Qi breaking through the top of my head. What is the reason for this?" Chixiao asked her question.

"There is such a thing?" Chen Yu's brows locked slightly. Chixiao's strength was greater than his, so he could not see the problem with her body. He reached out his hand and said: "Extend your hand."

Chixiao extended her wrist, and Chen Yu placed his fingers on it to take her pulse.

Chixiao's wrist was ice-cold, and her pulse was extremely different from an ordinary person's; her heartbeat and blood circulation were much faster than that of a normal person.

After taking her pulse, Chen Yu revealed a thoughtful expression.

"What exactly is my situation?" Chixiao asked.

"I think I understand." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said: "After your rebirth, your Soul Consciousness was extremely strong, carrying the Cultivation of your previous life. Your original body had undergone countless years of cultivation and had also undergone Bone Marrow Cleansing and Body Tempering, so it could withstand your Dharma Cultivator physique."

"But now, this body of yours is an ordinary woman, so it has no way to withstand your powerful Dharma Cultivator physique. The limit of her body is the Primordial Qi Realm. If you want to break through to the Entering the Dao Realm or higher, the first thing you must do is increase the strength of your physical body."

"How can I increase that? In my previous life, I cultivated from a very early age, and the strength of my body increased slowly along with my cultivation. That took many years to achieve. Are you telling me to start over from the beginning?" Chixiao was almost exploding.

"Your situation is just like that. I have no other way. You are in great danger right now because your body cannot withstand the powerful Primordial Qi within you. If you force a breakthrough, I fear the Primordial Qi will rupture your body and you will die." Chen Yu said.

"You must have a way." A sharp glint flashed in Chixiao's eyes as she stared at Chen Yu.
