#496 - Eighth Life: Chasing souls and taking lives, and getting unexpected wealth!

Chapter 496: Eighth Life: Chasing souls and taking lives, and unexpected wealth falling from the sky!

"call out!"

In the dimly lit jungle.

A cold arrow suddenly came from the side, making it impossible to defend against it.

If it were an ordinary Soul Palace strongman, he would be shot through the head instantly without any reaction time.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan remained vigilant at all times, and even after killing the shadow leopard, his mind never relaxed at all.

“Swish!”

At the critical moment.

His body was tense and his head was slightly tilted, and he relied on his subconscious instinct to narrowly avoid the arrow.

All this happened in a flash. Even though Lu Yuan reacted in time, his face was still scratched by the sharp arrow, leaving a shallow blood mark.

When he was grazed by the arrow, his soul suddenly felt a throbbing, as if a spiritual force had invaded his mind, causing him to be in a trance for a moment.

However, the Pure Heart Lotus floating in Lu Yuan's soul palace rotated slightly, instantly destroying the power of divine consciousness.

The arrow exploded and turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

"Can this person's arrows hurt other people's souls?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and looked up at the man.

The man was dressed in brocade and had an extraordinary bearing. It was obvious that he was from a noble family or a powerful force.

"How could a mere Soul Palace Level 3 warrior be able to obliterate my Soul Chasing Arrow?"

Seeing that his attack failed, the man's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and fled away without any hesitation.

"You're looking for death!"

Looking at the other person's receding back, Lu Yuan raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, and the murderous intent in his heart almost solidified into substance.

Lingxu Cave is extremely dangerous. Not only does everyone have to face powerful beasts, but they also have to be on guard against backstabs and sneak attacks from the geniuses of the same clan at all times.

Lu Yuan had never met this man before, but he was determined to kill him just because of the corpse of a shadow leopard.

It can be said that his intentions are extremely sinister.

However, this person did not expect that Lu Yuan would remain so vigilant that he could actually dodge the fatal arrow.

Lu Yuan did not waste any time. He immediately put away the corpse of the Shadow Leopard, pushed his perfect body skills to the extreme, and chased after it.

There's nothing much to say.

Since this person dared to attack me, he is already a dead man.

Even if the other party has a great origin and a monstrous background, he must pay the price in blood!

The man was dressed in brocade clothes and had achieved perfect cultivation in the Soul Palace. He seemed to have mastered some top-level body skills and could escape very quickly. He could appear a hundred feet away with just one step.

Even with Lu Yuan's perfect level of Mysterious Steps, it would be difficult for him to catch up with the other party for a while.

"You can't get away."

Lu Yuan's eyes were cold, and he did not hesitate to mobilize all the spiritual power in his body to increase his speed a little bit.

"Brother, I guess you are the new disciple of Qingyun Sect, right?"

"I am the young master of the Xu family in the imperial city. I have a close relationship with the third prince. It was just a misunderstanding. How about we just let it go?"

While fleeing, the man in brocade clothes looked back and saw Lu Yuan's face clearly. He was immediately shocked and spoke hurriedly.

As the top genius in the Dali Imperial City, he was extremely well-informed. Naturally, he had heard about how Lu Yuan, with his sixth-level spiritual sea cultivation, had killed Dong Baocai in public.

Even several of the Third Prince's aides were considering whether to extend an olive branch to Lu Yuan.

"Misunderstanding? How about you let me shoot an arrow too?" Lu Yuan sneered.

If he hadn't dodged in time, his head would have been shot through. How could such a life-and-death feud be easily explained away by the word misunderstanding?

Seeing that Lu Yuan refused to budge, the man in brocade clothes showed a hint of anger on his face.

In an instant.

Within a hundred feet radius, every tree and grass is an enemy.

Although it was a rush and Lu Yuan didn't have time to use his spiritual power to cover the entire area, this trick was enough to stop the man in brocade clothes!

Countless sword energies filled the space, making it difficult for the man in brocade clothes to move. He had to stop and turn around to face Lu Yuan.

"Your name is Lu Yuan, right? I am the Third Prince's man. You are so aggressive, are you trying to make an enemy of the Third Prince?"

Sensing Lu Yuan's strong murderous intent, the man in brocade clothes immediately brought up the name of the Third Prince and threatened him in a timid manner.

Facing the threat from the man in brocade clothes, Lu Yuan said nothing. He just stomped the ground hard, rushed out, and started a life-and-death battle with him.

Seeing Lu Yuan approaching, a trace of panic flashed in the man's eyes, and he quickly bent his bow and drew his arrow.

But before he could draw the bow, Lu Yuan appeared in front of him in an instant as if he had teleported, and then punched the man in brocade clothes hard on the chest.

Lu Yuan's punch was powerful and heavy, like a heavy artillery piece fired from a barrel, gathering all his strength.

If hit, even a warrior with perfect Soul Palace will be killed instantly!

Just as the man in brocade clothes was about to be killed by a punch.

The jade pendant on his waist suddenly burst out with a brilliant light, and then formed a light curtain that enveloped him.

This light curtain was extremely solid and thick like a city wall. Even if Lu Yuan attacked with all his strength, it was difficult to leave any trace on the surface!

"Is this the amulet my grandfather left me?"

The man in brocade clothes was firmly protected by the light curtain and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came to his senses, he found that his back was already covered in cold sweat, and even his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"You are indeed very powerful. It is rare in the world to be able to unleash such terrifying combat power with the third level of Soul Palace cultivation."

"But all this will end here!"

The man in brocade clothes had a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of fear and terror as he looked at Lu Yuan.

As one of the top geniuses in the imperial city, he asked himself if he could handle it calmly even if he met a powerful Nirvana master.

But Lu Yuan's cultivation was obviously lower than his, but he was able to suppress him to the point that he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

It's not that he is too weak, but Lu Yuan's combat experience and grasp of the timing of attack are so terrifying that they are inhuman, and they are simply not something that warriors of the same level can contend with.

If it weren’t for the life-saving jade talisman, he would have died under Lu Yuan’s fist just now!

"This boy's talent is too monstrous. If we allow him to grow, he will become a serious threat in the future!"

Thinking of this, the man in brocade clothes flipped his hand, took out a communication jade talisman from his Qiankun bag, and crushed it.

This communication jade talisman came from the hands of the Dali royal family. It can be used to contact other people even if they are thousands of miles apart. It is a means used by the strong men under the Third Prince to determine each other's locations.

As long as other people receive the message, they will rush here as soon as possible.

By then, no matter how strong Lu Yuan is, he is destined to die here!

Finish this.

He bent the bow and drew the arrow again, aiming directly at Lu Yuan's eyebrows!

In an instant.

Arrows rained down like rain, and bows rang like thunderbolts.

The man in brocade clothes condensed his energy into an arrow and quickly drew the bow. The sharp arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain, completely submerging Lu Yuan.

That’s not all.

The surface of these sharp arrows is attached with a trace of spiritual power, which can firmly lock the enemy's position.

Even if the enemy flees to the ends of the earth, they cannot escape these arrows!

On the other hand, Lu Yuan had no way to deal with the light curtain. He could only move left and right, his figure as erratic as a ghost.

But those arrows had the ability to search for enemies, so no matter how skilled he was in body movement, he was chased around in all directions, looking very embarrassed.

"A soul cultivator who focuses on mental attacks?"

Lu Yuan looked calm and saw through the background of the man in brocade clothes.

If he guessed correctly, the skills practiced by the man in brocade clothes should focus on tempering the soul.

Therefore, his soul is extremely powerful, so he can support such high-intensity attacks and consumption.

But you can't have your cake and eat it too.

What's more, the man in brocade clothes has reached the perfect state of Soul Palace at such a young age, so he can only focus on cultivating his spirit and soul.

But his physical body is his shortcoming!

This is also the reason why the man in brocade clothes did not dare to engage in close combat with Lu Yuan, and why he looked so flustered when Lu Yuan approached him.

However, the man in brocade clothes is now protected by a light curtain, so he can shoot the bow at will without worrying about being killed by Lu Yuan's close range.

"Do you really think I can do nothing to you just because you hide in your turtle shell?"

Seeing the other party's fearless appearance, Lu Yuan sneered and decided to end the battle quickly.

He has gone through many reincarnations and has experienced all kinds of battles, but the man in brocade clothes thought that everything would be fine as long as he hid in the light curtain, but in fact it was no different from waiting to die.

Immediately following.

Lu Yuan's mind moved slightly, and within a radius of a hundred feet, countless sword energies rose into the sky, forming a miniature sword formation, covering the man in brocade clothes and the light curtain.

“Ding-dong-dong!”

The sword energy in the sky fell down with a loud bang, hitting the light curtain and making a sound like the collision of metal.

This light curtain was created by a powerful Nirvana master, and its strength is comparable to a city wall made of cast iron. It is harder than climbing to heaven for an ordinary Soul Palace realm to break through its defense.

But a rope can saw through wood, and dripping water can wear away a stone.

As countless sword energies fell one after another, the power of the light curtain was rapidly consumed, and eventually became more and more illusory and transparent, and it was possible that it would shatter at any time!

"The amulet is about to be broken?"

The man in brocade clothes looked pale and extremely anxious. He risked overdrawing his spiritual power and sped up his bow drawing again.

But Lu Yuan's body movements were perfect, he moved around the battlefield like a ghost, even more slippery than a loach.

Even though the Soul-Chasing Arrow of the man in brocade clothes could automatically lock onto the enemy, it was difficult to keep up with Lu Yuan's speed for a while!

To the end.

Under the bombardment of sword rain from the sky.

The light curtain became dim and transparent, and could no longer hold up. It completely shattered and turned into light spots that dissipated into the air.

"Die!"

Just at the moment when the light curtain disappeared.

Lu Yuan appeared like a fleeting shadow, transformed into a flash of rainbow light, and appeared in an instant, leaving the man in brocade clothes no time to react.

"Bang!"

This time there was no light curtain blocking it. Lu Yuan's fist was covered with a faint golden light, which easily pierced through the chest of the man in brocade clothes and smashed his heart into pieces with one punch!

"How dare you! Who dares to kill the Third Prince's men?"

at the same time.

In the distance, several figures were rushing towards this place quickly. When they saw this scene, they immediately roared angrily.

But Lu Yuan turned a deaf ear to him. He snatched the longbow from the man in brocade clothes, quickly searched the man's body, collected all the spoils, and immediately fled away.

All the movements are done in one go, and no move is redundant.

Those figures were unable to catch up and could only watch Lu Yuan disappear from their sight.

Half a day later.

In a secret cave.

After making sure that there were no pursuers, Lu Yuan took out his Qiankun bag and began to count the spoils of this battle.

"The Imperial City's Tianjiao is indeed wealthy."

Looking at the dazzling array of spirit stones in the Qiankun bag, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

I saw that those spirit stones were of extremely high quality. Each one was crystal clear and full of spiritual energy. They were top-grade spirit stones that were extremely rare on the market!

One top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

There are more than a thousand of these top-grade spirit stones in front of us. I am afraid that even the life savings of many powerful Soul Palace masters are not so much!

What's more, in addition to the top-grade spirit stones, there are also all kinds of elixirs and precious medicines, at least hundreds of bottles.

Soul-Nourishing Pill, Soul-Sculpting Pill, Blood Essence Fruit, Thousand Star Vine...

These are all rare and precious medicines. Any one of them can be sold at a sky-high price in the outside world.

"No one can get rich without unexpected fortune. No wonder so many people like to be robbery cultivators. It's really that this line of work makes money too quickly."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Although the man in brocade clothes is not very strong, he is very rich and is a real fat sheep.

It can be said that this battle alone made Lu Yuan earn a huge fortune, enough to match what most people earned in Lingxu Cave.

"The Imperial City's geniuses were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have no shortage of cultivation resources."

"The reason why these people would risk entering the secret realm is probably because they have great ambitions and are going for the inheritance of destiny."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered as he guessed the purpose of the third prince Zhou Xun.

As the most beloved descendant of the Dali Patriarch, what kind of treasures and resources can Zhou Xun not obtain?

Looking at the entire secret realm, perhaps only the inheritance of destiny left by Master Lingxu can make him excited.

"In addition, this Soul-Chasing Bow is also a rare and top-grade spiritual weapon that can directly damage the enemy's soul. I'm afraid even many Nirvana masters would be envious of it."

He held the precious bow in his hand and tried to gently pull the bowstring. He immediately felt the spiritual power and divine power in his body surging out and quickly condensing into a long arrow on the bowstring.

This long arrow is black and solid, and looks no different from a real bow and arrow.

Lu Yuan had a feeling that as long as he released the bowstring, this long arrow would be able to unleash extremely terrifying killing power.

Even a strong man like the Perfect Soul Palace would die instantly once hit by this arrow!

"One arrow kills the person and one arrow destroys the soul."

"If this bow is used for a sneak attack, every arrow will hit the target."

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and put the bow into his Qiankun bag.

"With this windfall, I don't have to rush to the inner area. I can transform these resources into strength first and then make plans."

Lu Yuan was very calm and was not overwhelmed by the precious medicine in the inner area.

It doesn't matter if you have a lot of resources, as long as you have enough.

People like the man in brocade clothes have a lot of resources for cultivation but lack sufficient strength, so in the end they can only benefit Lu Yuan for nothing.

So in Lu Yuan's opinion.

No matter how precious the resources or how rare the medicaments are, if they cannot be transformed into strength, they are no different from a pile of waste.

And sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Lingxu Cave Mansion will remain open for three months. It will not be too late to look for opportunities after he improves his own strength.

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan also set up many restrictions around this cave to ensure that he would be informed of any disturbance in time.

After doing these things, he took out a large amount of spirit stones and elixirs and began to frantically improve his own cultivation.

When Lu Yuan was in seclusion.

A large number of human geniuses rushed into the inner area, causing the originally peaceful Lingxu Cave to undergo earth-shaking changes!
