Chapter 255: I’m Here to Defect

“Since you’re already here, why are you in a hurry to leave?” As this voice sounded from the sky, Shen Tu and the others felt the surrounding power of heaven and earth instantly pressing down on them.

The gravity their entire bodies endured instantly increased countless times. If not for their cultivation being strong enough to withstand the power of heaven and earth, they would probably be crushed by the power of heaven and earth.

At the same time, Li Yu rode the Qilin over from afar and instantly arrived in the sky above the Qingyun Sect.

Standing on the back of the Qilin were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and had a bright head.

The woman was as graceful as a swan, extraordinary, and had an orchid-like aura. She was showing a faint smile.

It was Gu Yuqi and Yao Xi, who had returned with Li Yu.

Shen Tu and the others had used special disguise magic treasures to cover their faces, preventing others from seeing their faces and expressions.

However, they knew best the fear and terror they felt when facing Li Yu.

They did not need to think to know that the person who had spoken was Li Yu.

After all, he was the extraordinary person ranked first on the Physique and Bloodline Rankings.

However, their knowledge and horizons still limited their imagination.

Now that they faced Li Yu, they finally understood how he could become the first on the rankings.

Even though he had faced countless terrifying enemies and heaven-defying experts, Shen Tu had never felt this way.

He was actually afraid!

It was a fear that originated from his life. It was a fear that he could not dispel with his willpower and rationality.

“Continue. The grand array formation hasn’t been broken yet. Why are you in a hurry to leave?” Li Yu teased.

His words were like the might of the heavens, causing the hearts of Shen Tu and the others to tremble, and their auras weakened.

“Retreat!” Shen Tu sent a voice transmission.

Everyone did not hesitate to use the secret technique of the Gongshu family’s Shadow Guard Pavilion—Void Escape.

This was an extremely powerful escape technique that contained the Great Dao of Space.

It could produce a spatial teleportation effect. Even if one was locked onto by the other party’s magic power and domain power, they could still instantly escape and disappear without a trace.

Unless it was the domain power of a Holy Lord realm expert, it was impossible to stop their escape.

However, the price of using this technique was not small. Almost half of their magic power would be burnt.

Therefore, it was only used in extremely dangerous situations.

Indeed, after the Void Escape Technique was used, Shen Tu and the others instantly disappeared on the spot and appeared in the sky thousands of kilometers away.

“Phew, I’ve escaped successfully!” After escaping the pressure brought by Li Yu, Shen Tu heaved a sigh of relief.

However, right at this moment, a voice that was like the resonance of the Great Dao reverberated through the world and exploded in their minds. “Come back here!”

Blast!

The world shook. Shen Tu and the 15 experts of the Gongshu family immediately felt as if they were locked onto by the laws of heaven and earth.

The surrounding space began to swirl inward. They seemed to have automatically used the Void Escape Technique again.

When they returned to their senses, they were back in front of Li Yu.

The Void Escape was pointless!

Shen Tu was dumbfounded. Was such a thing possible?

‘This guy can actually control the power of the laws of heaven and earth at will. What else can I do?’

“Don’t you guys like to break formations? Then let’s continue!” As soon as Li Yu said that, Shen Tu and the others felt their bodies being locked onto by the laws of heaven and earth again. Then, they were like sand and stones swept up by a violent wind as they crashed into the light screen of the grand array formation.

As a Saint, Shen Tu could withstand the power of heaven and earth with his own strength. He flew for a while and stopped.

As for the others, they completely lost control as their bodies collided firmly with the light screen of the Protective Mountain Array.

Then, it was rebounded by the light screen of the grand array formation before it was struck by the power of heaven and earth again.

After a few rounds, they were already spitting out blood and breathing weakly.

Seeing that Shen Tu had actually resisted the power of heaven and earth, Li Yu instantly arrived in front of him.

“Mm, you’re pretty strong!” Li Yu smiled as he threw a punch.

Shen Tu could not take it anymore and was sent flying.

His body was like a meteor that crashed into the light screen of the grand array formation with a bang.

The array formation shook, and Shen Tu felt that his body was about to shatter.

He even felt that he could not differentiate between his head and his butt.

His limbs were twisted to an unknown extent as if he had tied a bowknot on his back.

“Sigh, they’re really asking for trouble!” Gongshu Dijie shook his head. He knew that this would be the outcome for these people.

One could not be too impulsive. It was not worth it to be a moth to a flame for that little benefit.

‘I wonder which faction these guys are from. They’re probably going to be gone soon!’ Gongshu Dijie thought.

After a moment, Shen Tu and the others, who had used their bodies to break the array formation, still could not break through the Qingyun Sect’s Protective Mountain Array. However, their heads were bleeding, and their skin and flesh were lacerated.

“So? Is it fun breaking my Protective Mountain Array?” Li Yu dragged the few of them in front of him and asked coldly.

Shen Tu and the others lay on the ground lifelessly, no longer able to resist.

“Tell me, who sent you here?” Li Yu asked.

This sentence was still like the decree of the Heavenly Dao that descended on Shen Tu, making him unable to resist telling the truth, “Patriarch, Gongshu Jin!”

Thud!

As soon as Shen Tu said that, Gongshu Dijie sat on the ground in the forest.

He had watched the show for a long time, only to discover that his house was on fire.

“It’s over, it’s over. The Gongshu family is finished!” Gongshu Dijie felt a chill in his heart. He knew better than anyone how terrifying Li Yu was.

He was someone the Gongshu family could not afford to offend.

Gongshu Dijie could not understand why the family head was taking things so hard. He had already told him how powerful Li Yu was, so why did he still get himself into trouble?

Furthermore, hadn’t the family head already agreed to cooperate with Li Yu? What was the point of sending people to attack?

“Fortunately, Li Yu wasn’t here just now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself even if I had a hundred mouths!” Gongshu Dijie felt a lingering fear.

Even so, his situation was not optimistic.

‘I have to cut ties with the Gongshu family as soon as possible. I don’t want to be cannon fodder for them.’

“Hmph, you’re indeed from the Gongshu family! And you even have designs on my Qingyun Sect. You really don’t know what’s good for you!” Li Yu’s expression turned cold when he heard Gongshu Jin’s true intentions from God Slaying.

It was clear that the Gongshu family would not shed tears until they saw the coffin. He had to teach them a lesson before they would work for him obediently.

Li Yu unsheathed his sword and chopped off Shen Tu’s head.

As for the others, they were sent to the forest beside the mountain gate to stand as punishment.

“Hey, why are you here?” Li Yu noticed Gongshu Dijie, who only wanted to be a statue.

Gongshu Dijie, who was bursting with the desire to live, had an idea and immediately said, “Lord Heavenly Venerable, I’m here to defect!”
