Chapter 608 -74 Almost Regretted for Life_2
Yan Yu suddenly tilted his body, swiftly adjusting the angle of the Huang Ting Sword, the blade pointing towards the direction of the numerous Red Lotus explosives detonating.
The next second, the shockwave finally arrived!
A single Red Lotus explosion was enough to injure Zhou Hongyu, and with dozens of them detonating at once, how many times might the explosive power have increased? The moment the shockwave hit the Huang Ting Sword, Yan Yu immediately activated the Barrier Charm.
Forceful resistance!
The Huang Ting Sword absorbed most of the blast, turning it all into its own acceleration, reaching a speed even faster than Sword-Human Unity in an instant. The residual force and vibrations were transferred to Yan Yu, who had anticipated this and resolved them all with the Barrier Charm he had activated beforehand.
As for why he had anticipated this, that was another sad story, no need to ask further.
The residual shockwave that hadn’t been dissolved then fell upon Zhou Hongyu.
Zhou Hongyu felt as if Yan Yu was about to be flung out of his hold, panicking, she tightened her grip, her limbs winding around him like snakes, nearly being thrown off him.
On Yan Yu’s side, while maintaining the Barrier Charm to withstand the force, he quickly formed sword technique with his hands, turning the Huang Ting Sword again, using the high speed to execute the technique:
Sky Light Piercing Clouds!
As an upgraded version of White Rainbow Across the Sky, Sky Light Piercing Clouds could also slightly adjust its direction while speed-dashing. The major direction had already been set while earlier escaping the Red Lotus impact, now using Sky Light Piercing Clouds for fine-tuning, he immediately aimed at the target—none other than the old monk manipulating the Red Lotus from afar!
The old monk, previously blinded by the bright light of the Red Lotus explosions, couldn’t help but shift his gaze, only to hear the sound of the wind rising, he subconsciously turned his head, and saw Yan Yu’s sword glow already within a hundred meters, terrifying him out of his wits, he hurriedly bent his fingers, trying to activate the Kasaya for flight to dodge.
However, Yan Yu’s initial speed with the sword light was already astonishing, and with further acceleration from Sky Light Piercing Clouds, it nearly flashed by in the blink of an eye.
The Kasaya only managed to fly out three to five meters before it was penetrated by the Huang Ting Sword light, taking along the Red Lotus Zen old monk on it, he was pierced through the chest and fell dead on the spot!
With its master’s True Yuan control gone, the scattered Red Lotus flowers all withered and fell, along with the sky-covering bowl also rapidly shrinking, spinning for a moment, just about to fall downward, it was caught by the returning sword light.
Over at Yan Yu’s side, he retrieved the bowl treasure, then steadily landed and ceased Sword Flight, while Zhou Hongyu still maintained the posture of wrapping her arms and legs around him, as if she hadn’t come to her senses yet.
“Didn’t I tell you to be mindful of the poison removal, why are you still looking so dazed and foolish?” Yan Yu said pretending to be dissatisfied, bending down to kiss her, Zhou Hongyu suddenly snapped out of it, hurriedly jumping down from him, asking in a dazed manner:
“How… how did you do that?”
“Didn’t I tell you?” Yan Yu shook his head, weighing the bowl in his hand, “This guy’s skills were lacking, purely relying on the power of the magic treasure, not hard to beat.”
Zhou Hongyu was left speechless.
If Li Minghu were here, he certainly could discern many intricacies: for instance, although those Red Lotus flowers were numerous and large, their flying speed actually couldn’t match Sword Flight, allowing ample room for tactical maneuvers.
If that old monk had rich combat experience, often using this move, he could control each Red Lotus’s direction, set up formations, and completely seal off the target’s chances to dodge. Therefore, Yan Yu started with a probe, confirming that the old monk was the type to fight brainlessly, then he boldly employed the decapitation strategy.
Unfortunately, just like the old monk, Zhou Hongyu also relied heavily on her massive True Yuan and strong mana, dumping her attacks brainlessly towards the target, hence only mumbling to herself how she couldn’t see any technique?
All I could see was you running here and there then suddenly accelerating, almost shaking me off, and then you just killed that old monk suddenly.

“This treasure is quite good.” Yan Yu picked up the bowl in his hand, offering it to her, “Do you want it?”
“For me?” Zhou Hongyu asked in surprise.
“Aren’t you skilled in Fire Blazing Dao Method?” Yan Yu said, “This bowl treasure is also Fire Line; it’s tremendously powerful, probably consumes a lot of True Yuan, quite suitable for you.”
“Let’s not.” Zhou Hongyu shook her head, “Keep it for yourself.”
She was a Magic Cultivator, not an Assistant Officer, and wasn’t accustomed to using magic treasures in combat; moreover, she had been burned by Red Lotus Karma Fire before, and was somewhat averse to this type of treasure.
Of course, more importantly, Yan Yu had come from afar to rescue her, and at this moment, having single-handedly slain the enemy and obtained the spoils, the prideful Zhou Hongyu felt she did not contribute at all, naturally she wouldn’t accept any favors from Yan Yu, otherwise wouldn’t that make her something like… a kept woman?
“Alright then.” Yan Yu put away the bowl, thinking it seems only the Enchantress will benefit from this now.
He still wanted to search the old monk’s body, but it had been wrapped with the Kasaya and was nowhere to be found, and with nearby Sorcerers soon to arrive, he gave up on this idea, and together with Zhou Hongyu, they activated Sword Flight, heading towards Lu Country.
Traversing the sea on swords, Yan Yu continued to ponder.
Actually, the Bowl artifact suitable for deploying the Red Lotus Karma Fire would best fit Ye Jun, since the Red Lotus integrates both offense and defense. If Zhao Yuanzhen, that aggressively inclined fellow, were to get it, he would definitely use it crazily for attacks, not knowing how to utilize it for defense at all.
Ye Jun was inherently skilled in defensive tactics and was considering transitioning to a type adept at both offense and defense. Therefore, the artifact was quite suitable for her.
However, the ownership of the artifact isn’t solely about suitability but also involves personal connections and feelings. Ye Jun is still with the Dragon Soar Team and not a member of the Zhenhai Team; how could she justify taking a treasure obtained by herself? Even if Yan Yu secretly slipped it to her, this girl would definitely not accept it.
That being the case, it still has to be given to the Enchantress, to incidentally cultivate her skills in team cooperation and covering tactics, rather than just unleashing bursts of Red Lotus and bombarding the enemy, which would make her no different from the fools who just died under my sword.
Having thought things through, Yan Yu suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Zhou Hongyu was looking at him, hesitating to speak.
“What is it?” Yan Yu asked.
Zhou Hongyu actually wanted to ask how much of his previous acts of hugging, kissing, and touching her were genuinely out of affection and how much were just to help her resist the Devil’s voice. But such a question was too melancholic and naggy, not fitting her tough personality, so she never found the words.
Now that Yan Yu had asked first, she just put on a cold, indifferent expression and replied:
“It’s nothing.”
“Hongyu,” Yan Yu said, feigning distress, “I have traveled miles to rescue you, fought by your side, and faced powerful enemies together. We should have a bond of shared fate, don’t you think? Your estrangement really pains me…”
Zhou Hongyu, annoyed by him, gritted her teeth and said:
“I’ve been thinking about how this time you kissed and hugged me, taking advantage, and how I should settle this score with you!”
Yan Yu immediately switched his tone:
“Oh, that… necessity knows no law, right? It’s like if you fell into water and I came to rescue you, touches and bumps are inevitable. It’s hardly reason enough for me to apologize, wouldn’t that be a bit too unreasonable?”
“Just shut up,” Zhou Hongyu snapped, “Give me some peace!”
Hearing her say “Give me some peace,” Yan Yu knew this girl was shy and was now reflecting on the many intimate actions that had taken place, unsure how to face herself. He simply smiled and fell silent.
That’s good, originally a despised venomous star, she has become increasingly personable.
Typical of you, Yan Yu! This is what a Reincarnator ought to do!
The two returned to Jinling in Lu Country by Sword Flight and went into Li Weiguo’s office to debrief.
“Old Li!” Yan Yu exclaimed as he entered, “I’ve rescued the person…”
“What did you call me?” Li Weiguo raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Grandpa Li,” Yan Yu corrected with a smile, “the person has been rescued, fortunately without disgrace!”
Li Weiguo then turned to Zhou Hongyu to inquire about what exactly happened this time.
Zhou Hongyu answered succinctly, making the events clear, yet she omitted the parts about resisting the Red Lotus Demon Sound by embracing and kissing Yan Yu.
“Understood,” Li Weiguo nodded and said, “I’ll have someone take you for treatment to see how to cleanse the residual poison inside you.”
Upon hearing “cleanse the residual poison,” Zhou Hongyu subconsciously looked towards Yan Yu, but quickly remembered that this was proper treatment and without saying a word, turned around and waited outside the office.
Li Weiguo noticed her glance and turned to Yan Yu with a smile, saying:
“You lad, quite impressive!”
“Of course I’m impressive,” Yan Yu claimed matter-of-factly, “Otherwise, why would the Zhendong Cultivators not go, and the Anxi Army specifically send me to rescue?”
Li Weiguo was left speechless for a moment before saying:
“The impressive I meant isn’t quite that… Oh well, hand over the treasure and hurry back to the Mysterious Realm to advance your cultivation.”
