Chapter 975: Survival of the Strongest

A bloody hole appeared in his chest; he staggered back two steps, looking at Yuanwu with an expression of disbelief, pointing a trembling finger at him: "You... you..."

"I knew it, you were sent by Master to monitor me." Yuanwu sneered: "That's right, that is exactly what I intended. The Immortal Lotus is mine, you can rest in peace. Besides, I will take care of Junior Sister and Xiao 6 as well."

Thump... Yuanji collapsed to the ground, struggled a few times, and then went still.

Yuanwu used a Talisman to dissolve Yuanji's corpse, then swept his foot out; with a boom, a patch of snow completely buried the traces from just a moment ago.

Chen Yu, hiding in the distance, straightened his body in surprise.

He had originally been thinking about how to deal with Yuanwu, who was at a similar cultivation level to himself, and that Half-step Dharma Cultivator Yuanji, but it turned out these two had started killing each other.

It seems the world of Dharma Cultivators is even more cruel than he had imagined; as long as there is profit to be gained, even those from the same sect will kill one another.

However, since this guy had taken care of his own junior brother, it was equivalent to digging a pit for himself to jump into; after all, dealing with one was much easier than dealing with two.

Chen Yu signaled for Yu Sichen to stand there and not move; his figure flashed, he darted forward, and with a few leaps, he had already arrived before Yuanwu.

"Who is it?" Yuanwu turned around vigilantly.

"Hello, we are here traveling. My girlfriend accidentally caught a cold, and I wanted to ask if you have any fever medicine here; my emergency kit was lost." Chen Yu held up his hands, signaling that he had no hostility.

Beside him, Yu Sichen cooperated by coughing lightly twice; she knitted her brows, revealing a delicate and soft expression.

Yu Sichen's appearance and temperament were absolutely enough to make any man who saw her go dumbstruck.

And the Yuanwu before them was no exception; his eyes lit up, and he immediately relaxed his vigilance. He said: "I don't have medicine, but I understand medicine. Let her come over, and I will take a look for her."

"Thank you." Yu Sili nodded, then slowly walked over.

"Your girlfriend is quite ill; she needs treatment immediately." Seeing that Yu Sichen was beautiful, Yuanwu immediately harbored evil thoughts.

He said calmly: "There is a cave over there, let's go over. The wind and snow are smaller inside; we will treat her in there."

"Alright, thank you." Chen Yu nodded gratefully, then supported Yu Sichen and walked toward the cave to the side.

And Yuanwu, following behind, revealed a sinister smile as he trailed them.

"Are you two here for an adventure?" Yuanwu asked.

"Yes, we both like adventures, so we snuck into the Wurenqu. Who knew the environment here would be so harsh." Chen Yu replied.

"If I had a girlfriend as beautiful as yours, I certainly wouldn't come to such a harsh place." Yuanwu laughed.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu turned abruptly, the Lichen Sword in his hand striking backward.

Almost at the same time, two azure shadows flashed in mid-air, and two ice spikes locked Yuanwu's limbs.

Pfft... The Lichen pierced Yuanwu through the heart, and the Sword Qi shattered violently, destroying Yuanwu's spirit energy to a great extent.

And in this guy's hand, two Five Elements Blazing Fire Talismans had already begun to burn; if Chen Yu had been a moment later, these two Fire Talismans could have burned him to ashes.

"You... dare to hurt me? My Xianle Sect will definitely not let you off." Yuanying's eyes widened; he had never dreamed that the other party was also a Dharma Cultivator.

"Wait until you have the chance to say that again." Chen Yu sneered, pulling the sword out of his chest with a backhand motion.

Just at this moment, the Fire Talisman in Yuanwu's hand burned out; with a loud boom, a flame shot into the sky, and in an instant, it burned Yuanwu's corpse clean.

Chen Yu's spirit relaxed, and only then did he sit down on the ground, panting slightly.

He had been severely injured last night and had not yet recovered; now he could summon at most thirty percent of his Original Power. If not for the sneak attack, he could not have dealt with this guy at all.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?" Yu Sichen looked at him with concern.

"I'm fine, I'll be okay after a rest. The great enemy has finally been eliminated." Chen Yu said.

"Dharma Cultivators cultivate the Heavenly Dao, yet there was clearly a trace of evil in that person's eyes just now." Yu Sichen said: "Do Dharma Cultivators have the Seven Emotions and Six Desires just like ordinary people?"

"They do. Don't think of Dharma Cultivators as too noble. Compared to the world of ordinary people, their deceit and treachery are even more ruthless. They cultivate the Heavenly Great Dao, but don't forget, they are also human."

Chen Yu shook his head and said: "There are very few people whose realm is truly different; after all, they are not saints."

"It seems I thought of this world too simply." Yu Sichen sighed. She looked up at the crystal-clear Immortal Lotus on a giant rock: "Is that the thing we are looking for?"

"Yes, the Snow Region Immortal Lotus. You only need one petal to eliminate the Ancestral Ghost's consciousness, and with the Ksitigarbha Heart Sutra, you will be worry-free in the future." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "So you don't need to worry about anything anymore; you will get better."

Yu Sichen nodded; she snuggled up to Chen Yu and sat down, slowly leaning into his embrace.

Just at this moment, three figures suddenly appeared from the Snow Region; the other party's speed was extremely fast, and they quickly arrived at the Snow Region Immortal Lotus.

"Dharma Cultivators?" Chen Yu's pupils shrank; it seems this peak of the Snow Mountain is truly lively today.

After all, the Snow Region Immortal Lotus is a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; even for Dharma Cultivators, it is an excellent existence, so there are quite a few people eyeing this thing, which was something Chen Yu had not anticipated before.

The figures flashed and disappeared, and this time the three who came were all women, and none of their cultivation levels were low.

The leading woman saw Chen Yu and Yu Sichen immediately; her expression changed, her right hand grabbed, and a sword already appeared in her hand, while at the same time, a massive killing intent enveloped the two.

Yu Sichen blocked in front of Chen Yu; she had already decided that if the other party dared to touch Chen Yu, she would fight them with her life first.

"Senior Sister, what are these two people doing here?" one of the women in blue asked.

"Coming here, they must also be for the Immortal Lotus. To prevent any complications, kill them directly." A woman said in a deep voice.

Chen Yu gripped the Lichen in his hand, staring coldly at the few women. If he were at his peak, he would have no problem facing the three of them, as only the leading woman was in the Primordial Qi Realm, and the other two were only Half-step Dharma Cultivators.

But now he was not yet recovered from his severe injuries, and these women were bona fide Dharma Cultivators.

"Kill them." The leading woman in red glanced coldly at the two and spat out three words directly.

Both sides moved, about to strike, but just at this moment, Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Are you all from the Red Moon Palace?"

"You know of our Red Moon Palace?" The woman looked at Chen Yu with surprise: "Our Red Moon Palace is a hidden sect; we don't often walk about even in the world of Dharma Cultivators. You actually know?"
