Chapter 471: Specialized for Destroying Corpses and Erasing Traces

Duan Yiyi’s few words didn’t just displease Lie Rufeng. They also made Ruxin and Tang Ming uncomfortable.

Although they weren’t particularly close to this Mr. Lu, they were from a reputable sect and simply couldn’t bring themselves to do something like backstabbing an ally.

What’s more, Duan Yiyi wasn’t even asking for help politely. Her every word was sharp and piercing, filled with threats.

As a result, even Tang Ming, who had just been about to mediate, didn’t say another word.

Lie Rufeng remained silent, apparently not letting Duan Yiyi’s words sway his decision.

This silence finally made Duan Yiyi truly panic.

She suddenly realized that if Lie Rufeng and the others abandoned her, she might actually die here!

She quickly suppressed the anger in her heart, softening her tone to a desperate plea. "Senior Brother Lie, we’re both from the Qiyue Sect! We’re the real family here. You can’t just abandon me!"

"I’m still young! I don’t want to die here!"

"Please, think of a way to save me! I’m begging you!"

At her sudden change in attitude, Lie Rufeng said nothing, but Tang Ming began to waver again.

’Sigh... Junior Sister Duan isn’t a bad person, really. She’s just too spoiled.’

’We’re from the same sect, after all. Can we really just stand by and watch her die?’

So he couldn’t help but glance at Lie Rufeng, hesitating to speak.

Just then, Lu Sangjiu suddenly spoke up. "Alright, that’s enough. Stop putting on this little show for me, with all your hesitation and deep-seated sect loyalty."

Lu Sangjiu said calmly, "Before you make your deal, perhaps you should first consider... am I really just a piece of meat on the chopping block for you to carve up as you please?"

The instant her voice faded, Lu Sangjiu made her move.

Her Thousand Silk Entanglement shot toward the three from the Poison Dragon Sect with blinding speed.

But those three were no pushovers. The moment they sensed trouble, they threw up Protective Shields around themselves.

However, Lu Sangjiu’s Domination Map Blade followed immediately, forcing the three into a hasty defense and giving them no chance to retaliate.

It was only now that Lu Sangjiu was truly unleashing her full power!

Lie Rufeng was horrified to discover that her strength was far greater than what he had seen before. She might even be stronger than the average Heavenly Immortal!

Though stunned for a moment, Lie Rufeng still knew what was important.

This wasn’t the time to dwell on it. She had already attacked, so they had to follow her lead immediately. If they caught their opponents off guard, they might even be able to save Duan Yiyi!

It wasn’t just Lie Rufeng who reacted. The other two were just as quick. The four of them fell into formation as if they had fought side-by-side before, only this time their opponents were the three Cultivators from the Poison Dragon Sect!

Though caught off guard at first, the three Poison Dragon Sect Cultivators were by no means weak. Two of them were at the Heavenly Immortal Level, and the third was at the Peak of Earth Immortal.

In terms of cultivation, they were stronger than Lu Sangjiu, Tang Ming, and Ruxin.

But after witnessing Lu Sangjiu’s power, they were smart enough not to face her head-on.

Facing the onslaught, one of them grabbed Duan Yiyi and used her as a human shield, forcing Lie Rufeng, who had just launched his attack, to pull back.

The moment he pulled back, the man from the Poison Dragon Sect seized the opportunity to counterattack.

After a few such exchanges, Lie Rufeng was injured.

The others were in a similar situation. Only Lu Sangjiu paid it no mind.

The first time her opponent used Duan Yiyi as a shield, she didn’t even blink. Her attack continued unabated, hitting Duan Yiyi directly and causing her to spit up blood.

’Duan Yiyi has been hostile to me from the start. I’d have to be crazy to risk injury to protect her.’

’She got caught because she was too weak. If she died, it would be due to her own incompetence. What did that have to do with me?’

Lu Sangjiu felt no psychological burden whatsoever about killing Duan Yiyi. When the Poison Dragon Sect Cultivators realized this, they no longer dared to use Duan Yiyi to block her attacks.

After all, she was the only shield they had that made Lie Rufeng’s group hesitate. If Lu Sangjiu actually killed her, they would be the ones at a disadvantage.

Of course, Lie Rufeng and the other two noticed as well. Only Lu Sangjiu could fight without any regard for Duan Yiyi, and she was doing so with complete abandon.

The three of them were far more constrained, and they couldn’t help but cast envious glances at Lu Sangjiu...

Of course, envy was one thing, but they couldn’t be the ones to kill Duan Yiyi, even if they failed to save her today. Otherwise, they would have no way to answer for it when they returned to the sect.

So the three of them could only continue their frustrating fight, watching as Lu Sangjiu wreaked havoc.

Although the three of them couldn’t use their full strength, they did manage to tie down two of the opponents for Lu Sangjiu.

This meant she was now facing a Heavenly Immortal Level expert all by herself.

And incredibly... she was actually holding her own!

’It’s only now I realize that even in the Immortal Spirit Realm, I’m still pretty strong. With my two fused energies, I can totally fight a Heavenly Immortal, even though they’re a realm above me!’

After a few more exchanges, Lu Sangjiu finally found an opening and unleashed her Immortal Demon Attraction!

The current version of Immortal Demon Attraction didn’t require much preparation time, but its power was also reduced.

Even so, the moment the Immortal Demon Attraction struck, it instantly shattered the opponent’s Protective Shield!

The Heavenly Immortal Cultivator from the Poison Dragon Sect violently spat out a mouthful of blood. As his Protective Shield shattered, the Thousand Silk Entanglement seized the opening and shot directly into his body!

The Cultivator immediately tried to seal the foreign substance inside him the moment he realized something was wrong, but would Lu Sangjiu give him that chance?

She immediately struck with another Immortal Demon Attraction. It still wasn’t a lethal blow, but it was enough to distract him for a crucial instant.

Lu Sangjiu seized that opportunity, instantly activating the Thousand Silk Entanglement inside his body. The man died instantly.

"Junior Brother!"

By the time the short, stout man sensed something was wrong, it was already too late. He could only watch, wide-eyed, as his junior brother fell to the ground, stiff as a board.

In an instant, his eyes widened with rage, his gaze on Lu Sangjiu filled with hateful madness. "I’ll kill you!"

His sudden, reckless charge at Lu Sangjiu instantly gave Lie Rufeng and the others an opening.

Lie Rufeng unleashed a wave of Sword Qi, forcing the Earth Immortal Cultivator to release Duan Yiyi.

In that single instant, Tang Ming seized the opportunity, darting forward to catch Duan Yiyi.

Duan Yiyi had already been tormented into unconsciousness, but she was still faintly breathing.

Tang Ming hurriedly stuffed a few Elixir Pills into her mouth and carried her away from the battlefield.

Lu Sangjiu had already slain one Heavenly Immortal. With one Heavenly Immortal and one Earth Immortal remaining, and with Duan Yiyi no longer in the way, it was no problem at all for Lu Sangjiu and the other two to deal with them.

Before long, all three Cultivators from the Poison Dragon Sect were dead.

Lu Sangjiu deftly looted their storage rings, then poured Spirit-killing Water over the bodies to destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces.

Lie Rufeng watched her practiced moves, slightly surprised. "That stuff you’re using is..."

Lu Sangjiu wasn’t sure if the Immortal Spirit Realm didn’t have such a thing, but it wasn’t important. She replied directly, "Spirit-killing Water. Specially made for destroying bodies and erasing all traces!"
