In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

"The pattern of the Xuan Sword?"

"He's from the Su family, a family of sword cultivators?"

Upon seeing the seemingly lifeless Su family prodigy, Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he quickly recognized the other party's identity.

The Su family, renowned for their swordsmanship, enjoys a high reputation throughout the entire Great Li Dynasty.

During the previous Qingyun Sect Inner Sect Grand Competition.

Lu Yuan had even fought against Su Yun, the eldest daughter of the Su family, so he was naturally familiar with the Su family's family crest.

However, Su Yun failed to advance to the sect's true disciple level and could only use the Su family's quota to go to the Lingxu Cave.

However, judging from the current situation, the prodigy of the Su family is not in a good position.

Because his injuries were extremely severe, with a shocking wound cut open in his abdomen, even his intestines had spilled out.

Moreover, several demonic wolves were frantically tearing at his body, devouring his flesh and internal organs.

"He's the first living person I've met today. Maybe he knows where Senior Sister Luo Xin and the others are."

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

"call out!"

The bowstring trembled slightly, and five arrows formed from divine soul power shot out like lightning, arriving almost instantly and piercing the heads of the demon wolves.

Those demonic wolves were quite powerful, all possessing Soul Palace cultivation.

Before they could even react, they let out a whimper and collapsed, dying.

After confirming that there were no threats nearby, Lu Yuan put away the Soul-Chasing Bow, approached the Su family prodigy, and injected a stream of spiritual energy into him, barely keeping him alive.

However, this person's internal organs had been emptied out, and he was only on his last breath. Even if Lu Yuan tried his best to save him, he would not survive.

When he saw Lu Yuan, his previously dull eyes suddenly shone with an unprecedented light, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death, and he grabbed Lu Yuan's arm tightly.

"Go...go to Yinfeng Valley, Miss, and the Qingyun Sect disciples are all there..."

Before this prodigy of the Su family could finish speaking, his arm fell limply to the ground, his head lolled to the side, and all hope of life was extinguished.

"Yinfeng Valley?"

Lu Yuan manipulated his sword energy to dig a large pit in the ground, burying the prodigy before looking into the distance.

Despite the short time, the Su family prodigy breathed his last before he could reveal the exact location of Yinfeng Valley.

However, just from the name Yinfeng Valley, Lu Yuan could roughly deduce its location.

"Since this valley is named after Yin Feng, it must be a place that is cold and chilling."

"Moreover, this prodigy of the Su family left behind a lot of traces as he fled in a hurry. I only need to follow the direction he came from to find Senior Sister Luo Xin and the others."

Lu Yuan's eyes were deep, and he immediately set off for Yinfeng Valley.

Although he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, he would never stand by and watch his own people die.

Moreover, Luo Xin had helped him a lot within the Qingyun Sect, and that alone was enough for Lu Yuan to save her life.

In addition, Lu Yuan also wanted to find out exactly what had happened in the past two months.

Following the trail left by the prodigy of the Su family, he traced the path and finally came to a valley.

A chilling wind blew through the valley, and an ominous aura filled the air.

Even from hundreds of feet away, Lu Yuan could sense the malevolent energy emanating from the valley.

"The entrance to this valley is narrow and easy to defend. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Only a few people are needed to guard the passage. No wonder Senior Sister Luo Xin and the others chose to hide here."

Lu Yuan stood on a distant mountain peak, taking in the entire view of the valley below.

From his perspective.

There were about twenty people inside the valley. These people came from various forces and were all top geniuses. Even the weakest of them had the cultivation level of the mid-stage Soul Palace.

Some of the most outstanding individuals have even reached the perfected Soul Palace realm.

However, they were dressed in rags, covered in wounds, and their faces were extremely pale, their eyes filled with panic and fear.

Despite its treacherous terrain, Yinfeng Valley is difficult for ferocious beasts from the outside world to enter.

However, the valley is filled with too much yin energy, and they are constantly subjected to the corrosive influence of the yin winds while staying inside.

If this continues for too long, many people will likely freeze to death in the valley.

Moreover, at the entrance to the valley, there were hundreds of ferocious beasts lurking, roaring at the people inside from time to time.

"Crack!"

The entire body of the one-horned thunder lizard was crackling with purple lightning, and the single horn on its head was filled with the power of lightning, radiating an astonishingly terrifying aura.

"boom!"

next moment.

A bolt of lightning shot out, causing the expressions of everyone in the valley to change drastically.

It should be noted that this one-horned thunder lizard is exceptionally powerful, a genuine Nirvana Great Demon.

Its full-force attack is terrifyingly powerful, enough to blast a mountain into dust!
"not good!"

"Fellow Daoists, please lend me a hand!"

Luo Xin gritted her teeth and immediately made hand seals, summoning a talisman.

The talisman hovered in mid-air, emitting a faint light.

This was a life-saving item given to her by Han Qingxuan, but she never expected it to be used here!
Seeing this, no one dared to hold back. They hurriedly circulated their cultivation techniques, pouring all their spiritual power into the talisman, making its light even more dazzling.

"Buzz!"

The talisman fully revived, eventually forming a cyan light curtain that enveloped everyone present.

The lightning spear struck the light barrier and exploded, scattering countless bolts of lightning that caused the entire valley to tremble.

All of a sudden.

The earth shook and mountains collapsed.

Although the light barrier formed by the talisman weakened most of the power, some of the lightning power still managed to penetrate the barrier and strike Luo Xin and the others heavily.

"not good!"

Luo Xin was the first to be hit and was blasted away. Her aura became weak and listless, and she instantly plummeted to the bottom.

As for the others, they weren't much better off.

This was the bloodline divine power of the Nirvana Demon, its power terrifying beyond compare. Even though everyone joined forces to block this attack, their faces became increasingly pale.

Their spiritual energy was completely depleted, to the point of exhaustion!

What made them even more desperate was that, apart from that one-horned thunder lizard...

Three more ferocious beasts, each as large as a mountain, emerged from the jungle and appeared on the outskirts of the valley.

This also means.

If we add the one-horned thunder lizard, this place now has four Nirvana Great Demons and hundreds of Soul Palace Realm ferocious beasts!

On the other hand, everyone on their side was injured, and the strongest among them was only at the peak of the Soul Palace realm. How could they possibly be a match for these ferocious beasts?
"It's over, are we really going to all die here today?"

Everyone's faces turned deathly pale, their hearts turned ice-cold, and all that remained was endless despair.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to die!"

"I haven't even gotten married yet, I haven't even held a girl's hand, I don't want to die here!"

Faced with imminent death, a young prodigy suffered a mental breakdown and burst into tears.

"Useless thing, even at this point, you're still thinking about your children."

"Since we're going to die anyway, why don't I be kind and grant your wish this once in a while?"

A female cultivator said in a low, languid tone, "Is that even possible?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say.

But this is also human nature.

After all, death is not scary; what is scariest is knowing that death is coming and being powerless to stop it.

For many people, the process of waiting for death is the most agonizing, and as a result, many people do all sorts of crazy things during this time.

Just when everyone was filled with despair and could only stand there waiting to die.

"Shhhhhh!"

A series of sharp, piercing sounds suddenly came from afar.

The ferocious beasts fell to the ground in response, just like wheat during the autumn harvest, and in the blink of an eye, a large swathe of them collapsed!

"Has someone come to rescue us?"

"Impossible! The Spirit Void Cave has cultivation level restrictions. The strongest human genius here is only at the peak of the Soul Palace realm."

"Besides the royal family of Dali, who else can stand against the Nirvana Demon?"

Everyone looked on in astonishment and immediately looked up.

But the next moment.

They then witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Outside the valley, a young man dressed in black, holding a large bow, moved swiftly through the forest, repeatedly drawing his bow.

His movements were elusive, like a ghost, and his speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch him.

His archery skills were even more amazing; every time he shot an arrow, a ferocious beast would die on the spot!
In just a few breaths, many ferocious beasts fell in droves, it was even simpler and more brutal than mowing grass!
"A soul-snatching, deadly arrow that slays gods—isn't this the Soul-Chasing Bow of the Xu family's young master?"

"This person considers himself a prodigy of the imperial city, always looking down on other martial artists of humble origins. Why would he be so kind as to lend a helping hand this time?"

Everyone was puzzled.

However, when Luo Xin saw that familiar figure, she was extremely shocked, her face filled with disbelief.

"This is... Junior Brother Lu Yuan? What's he doing here?"

She and Lu Yuan were from the same sect and had interacted with each other quite a bit, so she was naturally familiar with Lu Yuan's aura.

What surprised her most was...

In just two months, Lu Yuan's cultivation level had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the ninth level of the Soul Palace realm.

Even her senior sister, who entered the sect three years earlier, was two minor realms higher!
Moreover, judging from the strength that Lu Yuan has demonstrated.

Lu Yuan's true combat strength is extremely terrifying, even comparable to a Nirvana Realm expert!

"This junior brother's talent is simply too astonishing. No wonder Master was willing to go against the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch to protect him."

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know Lu Yuan very well, through their interactions over the past few days, she knew very well that this junior brother was calm and cautious and would never joke about his own life.

Since Lu Yuan dared to face four Nirvana-level demons alone, it means he was fully confident that he could deal with these ferocious beasts.

"Everyone, follow me and fight our way out to relieve the pressure on Junior Brother Lu Yuan!"

However, she did not stand idly by. Instead, she took a few pills to recover some of her spiritual power, then supported herself and led the group in fighting against the ferocious beasts.

"Roar!"

When the four Nirvana Demons saw Lu Yuan frantically slaughtering other low-level ferocious beasts, a trace of savagery and anger flashed in their lantern-sized eyes, and they immediately charged towards Lu Yuan.

However, even back in the Spirit Sea Realm, Lu Yuan was able to kill a Soul Palace Perfection expert with his unparalleled swordsmanship.

Now that his Soul Palace is complete and his soul is powerful, his strength has increased immeasurably compared to before.

Even when facing four Nirvana-level demons alone, he was in no way at a disadvantage!

However, these four Nirvana Demon Kings were thick-skinned and had amazing defenses. Even with Lu Yuan's strength, it would be difficult for him to cause them much damage in a short period of time.

For a time, both sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, take this sword!"

But right now.

A cold and aloof girl in a green dress grabbed the sword at her waist and hurled it towards Lu Yuan's location.

Lu Yuan reached out and grasped the sword hilt, immediately feeling an astonishing chill emanating from it, which imbued his spiritual energy with a trace of coldness.

"Shh!"

Followed by.

A cold glint appeared, and the sword was drawn from its sheath.

An unparalleled, bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted, transforming into a cold wave that swept in all directions.

Wherever the cold wave passed, everything along its path was frozen into ice sculptures by the cold air.

Even the ferocious beasts whose strength was comparable to those of Soul Palace experts were now covered in cold air, and their movements became extremely slow.

"hiss!"

"This is the Su family's heirloom weapon, the Azure Frost Sword?"

"Old Master Su really dotes on Su Yun, even letting her bring this item into the secret realm."

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in astonishment, recognizing the origin of the sword.

Legend has it that this sword is a top-grade spiritual weapon, which has been kept in an ice cellar made of ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice for many years. Nourished by the cold day and night, it has long since developed a trace of spirituality.

This sword is not only sharp and fierce, but it also carries the chill of ten thousand years, which can freeze the soul of the enemy in an instant. Even Nirvana Realm experts dare not take it head-on!

"This sword is indeed extraordinary!"

As soon as Lu Yuan grasped the sword, a feeling of invincibility suddenly rose in his heart, as if he could even cleave the heavens and the earth with a single sword strike.

Holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises naturally.

Although the sword path he cultivated emphasized that every blade of grass and every tree could be used as a sword.

However, with this sword in hand, the power of his swordsmanship can be increased by at least 50%!

The four Nirvana Demon Kings felt their hair stand on end, sensing a strong sense of life-or-death crisis.

It was as if this insignificant human ant in front of them had suddenly transformed into an ancient dragon, capable of easily deciding their lives!

"Roar!"

The one-horned thunder lizard, feeling uneasy, suddenly let out a roar.

Lightning crackled around the single horn on its head, instantly coalescing into a lightning spear that shot straight toward Lu Yuan.

This lightning spear is several times more powerful than the previous one.

However, Lu Yuan stood still, showing no intention of dodging. He simply raised his long sword and made a light slash from a distance.

No words can describe the sharpness of this sword.

All the people saw was a fierce sword aura that swept across the sky, as if it had replaced the sun, moon and stars and become the only thing in this world!

And when this sword energy fell...

That terrifyingly powerful lightning spear was cleaved in two by a single sword strike, reduced to nothingness.

Followed by.

The sharp sword energy remained undiminished, cutting through the air and easily piercing the brow of the one-horned thunder lizard, as if slicing through butter with a knife.

He cleaved its head and body in two with a single sword stroke! (End of Chapter)
