Chapter 849: I Beg You To Kill Me

The surviving cultivators were attracted by the thunderous sound.

At the same time, the ground in the valley and the mountains of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range shook. Rocks rolled down the mountains, and the mountains looked as though they were on the verge of collapsing. The Sky Wheel Mountain Range that was already in ruins to begin with became even worse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like that, the Sky Wheel Range Mountain that most cultivators revered were partially collapsed at this moment.

All the cultivators scrambled out of the way; leaping and flying into the sky to avoid the chaos and destruction. When they were safely in the air, they looked at the valley in shock and confusion. What happened? Why did the mountains suddenly collapse? What was the cause of this destruction?

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou had long expected this. When he heard the continuous noises of thunderous thumping from the depths of the valley, he had speculated that a Birth Chart Beast was hidden there. It was probably making its way here but was blocked by the mountains. Based on the destruction of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range and the Sky Wheel Rift Valley, he had a feeling the beast was likely stronger and fiercer than the Yong, just like the one he encountered in the bottomless abyss in the golden lotus domain.

Lu Zhou had seen Yu Chenshu launching a weak palm seal earlier before Yu Chenshu had a spurt of increase in strength. Therefore, he was certain Yu Chengshu had mastered some secret techniques. How could the seemingly weak and black sharp blade have only so few runes? As he had expected, that technique was probably a life or death technique that was beyond his imagination.

The rocks that rolled down the mountains fell into the abyss in the valley.

Lu Zhou activated his protective energy and entered the abyss. It was like he had entered a cave. Strangely, the ‘cave’ was not affected by the destruction outside.

After a beat, Lu Zhou checked the time he had left; he had more than ten minutes left. Without any hesitation, he released his energy and sent the rocks and rubble flying.

After clearing the obstruction in his path, he walked toward the side of the ‘cave’ and saw a surprising scene. What everyone thought was just a crack to the abyss was clearly not just that. It was a huge trench that was formed by lava under a volcano that was flowing to an unknown location.

When Lu Zhou lifted his head, he saw Yu Chenshu on the other side of the trench, buried into the rock wall and unable to move. His blood dripped down the stone wall, dyeing it red.

Sizzling noises could be heard whenever some of Yu Chenshu’s blood dripped into the flowing lava. It was evaporated in just a blink of an eye by the scorching hot lava. Due to the heat, it did not take long before the blood that was dripping down the mountain dried up and hardened.

“S-save... Save me... Save me...” What a rare sight. Yu Chenshu was crying out for help.

Lu Zhou disregarded Yu Chenshu’s plea for help and brought the Golden Taixu Mirror out again.

Buzz!

A buzzing noise rang in the air as a golden beam of light shone from the mirror on Yu Chenshu.

Through the Golden Taixu Mirror, Lu Zhou could see that Yu Chenshu’s puppet was in a wretched and hideous state at this moment. Moreover, its body was rapidly shrinking. Apart from that, it was so weak now that it could no longer hide from the desolate-grade Golden Taixu Mirror.

Lu Zhou looked down and wondered where did the huge beast go. How strange. However, he did not dwell on the matter and asked, “Where’s Luo Xuan?”

“S-save... me... Save...” Yu Chenshu’s aura was clearly weakening by the second.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly; he wondered if he had been too heavy-handed. What would he do if he could not find out Luo Xuan’s whereabouts because Yu Chenshu died?

After a beat, the frown on his face eased. There were many people in the Sky Martial Court. If he could not dig out information from Yu Chenshu, he would just find someone else from the Sky Martial Court to interrogate.

Lu Zhou raised his hand suddenly; Unnamed appeared immediately. It was time to send Yu Chenshu to hell. To be safe, he had to save some time from the Peak Trial Card to intimidate the surviving cultivators.

However, at this moment, a huge figure suddenly leaped up from below.

An ear-piercing and shrill cry rang in the air.

Lu Zhou saw a huge beast that looked like a panther, but it was red and had five tails. At this moment, the beast was pouncing toward him.

“Birth Chart Beast?” Lu Zhou felt his heart stirred as he avoided the beast.

“T-the Zheng...” Yu Chenshu said weakly when he saw the ferocious beast. Despite the state he was in, he was clearly surprised when he saw this Birth Chart Beast.

“The Zheng?”

Boom!

The Zheng pounced on Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou avoided the Zheng in a flash. At the same time, the Golden Buddha Body formed a seal and kept the heat from the lava at bay. He cried out fiercely, “Livestock! You’re seeking death!”

Using everything in nature as a sword.

Lu Zhou cast Primal Restoration!

Unnamed hovered in the middle as energy swords filled the entire place. Then, all of them collectively shot toward the ferocious Birth Chart Beast.

The fierce beast roared, revealing its deadly fangs. It swiped at Lu Zhou fiercely with its sharp claws. The fur on its body stood on ends, somewhat like a porcupine. However, the fur was like iron. It was clearly trying its best to defend against the energy swords.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou flew up in just a blink of an eye before he pressed his palm down.

Abandon Wisdom landed on the fierce beasts.

Then, in just a breath, Lu Zhou launched ten consecutive palm strikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The beast’s eyes shone with killing intent. However, Lu Zhou’s attacks that were beyond the limit of humans had halved the beast’s killing intent.

Plop!

The final palm strike knocked the beast into the lava, and the scorching heat of the lava burned the beast.

Meanwhile, Yu Chenshu who had grown even weaker looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief. He had thought he would be able to defeat Lu Zhou. Alas, at this moment, he discovered his opponent could still unleash his grand techniques. There was no sign of his opponent weakening at all!

Yu Chenshu raised his head and stabilized himself by placing his hands on the stone wall before he weakly asked, “J-just... Just... how strong are you?”

Lu Zhou ignored Yu Chenshu; he was completely focused on the ferocious Birth Chart Beast. Since he did not receive the system notification, he knew the beast was not dead.

Splash!

At this moment, the ferocious beast leaped out of the lava, creating a huge splash of fiery-red liquid in the air.

“No! Save me!”

Lu Zhou saw the splashes of lava that were definitely going to land on Yu Chenshu. There was no doubt the scorching lava would kill Yu Chenshu if it landed on him. At the critical moment, he flashed to Yu Chenshu’s side, using the Six Compatible Seal and the Golden Buddha Body to keep the lava at bay.

Following that, he raised his hand again and launched ten successive Nine Cut Hand Seals that were like a golden meteor shower toward the ferocious beast.

Finally, Lu Zhou turned to look at Yu Chenshu.

Although Lu Zhou had saved Yu Chenshu, hints of unwillingness could be seen in his eyes.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You can only die in my hands today!” After he finished speaking, he smacked his palm on Yu Chenshu’s chest.

Bang!

That palm strike left Lu Zhou’s hand drenched in blood and Yu Chenshu’s chest caved in.

“You!” Yu Chenshu’s eyes widened the moment before he died.

“Ding! Killed the puppet. Obtained 6,000 merit points.”

Lu Zhou grabbed Yu Chenshu and flew up into the sky.

At this moment, the Birth Chart Beast seemed to be in a frenzy, but Lu Zhou, naturally, was not afraid at all.

Lu Zhou looked down and saw the sign of the puppet on Yu Chenshu’s chest gradually disappearing. All the vitality it had collected seemed to be disappearing as well. Finally, it expended the last of its vitality energy to heal Yu Chenshu’s chest and disappeared completely.

If one did not witness it with their own eyes, who would have believed the puppet was so powerful?

At this moment, energy surged out of Lu Zhou’s body as he brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror again and shone it on Yu Chenshu. The puppet had disappeared, and the drawing on Yu Chenshu’s body was completely gone.

This meant that all this while Yu Chenshu had two lives. However, the puppet had what was equivalent to a long health bar that could be replenished over and over again with the Life-Siphoning Technique.

Previously, Lu Zhou had thought Ye Zhen’s Nine Infants avatar was already very strange. Now that he had seen the puppet, he found it even more strange and unbelievable.

After receiving the system notification of the puppet’s death, Lu Zhou felt more at ease. Although Yu Chenshu still had one life left, he could easily take Yu Chenshu’s life with just a palm strike. After all, Yu Chenshu had already lost his puppet and was on the brink of death. Moreover, even when Yu Chenshu still had the puppet and two lives, Yu Chenshu was still no match for Lu Zhou who had unlimited Primal Qi.

Rumble!

The ferocious leaped up again at lightning speed.

Lu Zhou was calm. He still had unlimited Primal Qi after all. As he held onto Yu Chenshu with one hand, he swung his other hand out swiftly.

In the sky, the sky flashed with energies again.

At this moment, Yu Chenshu finally regained consciousness even though his mind was rather muddled. He was now numb when he saw Lu Zhou’s limitless energy, attacks, grand techniques, energy swords, and palm seals. He coughed violently for a long time, clearly in pain. The pain was so excruciating that he felt as though his body was being torn apart. In the end, he could no longer endure and pleaded, “K-kill... Kill me...”

Yu Chenshu gave up. Who would desire to live under such torture? If this continued, his condition would be worse than death itself. It was better for him to beg for death. In order to seek liberation from the pain, he chose death.

“I... I b-beg you... Kill me!”
