Chapter 1135 Forced Killing
It was already sunset, the last rays of the setting sun casting long shadows, and the sky was filled with crimson clouds.

People were lying on the ground in the valley below the cave.

On the lush green grass, some animals have already died, while others, seriously injured, remain to heal.

Lu Xiaolu landed gracefully at the entrance of the cave, where she became particularly conspicuous.

She was now dressed in a gray robe, with an ordinary appearance and nothing special about her.

The experts who were healing in the valley glared at her angrily.

Such a dramatic change likely means that the cave has been breached.

This is the best opportunity, but since I'm injured and can't move, I can only watch others reap the benefits.

They all cursed inwardly, thinking how calm and collected this woman was, only making her move at this crucial moment, thus reaping such a huge advantage.

Just as Lu Xiaolu was about to rush in to take a look, she saw a flash of blue, and it was Chu Zhiyuan who appeared.

While she was stunned, Chu Zhiyuan did not stop and continued to rush out.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly followed.

Before everyone's eyes, the two transformed into two shadows and drifted away into the distance.

"boom!"

A moment later, another muffled sound came from the cave, and then two figures flew out.

"Boom!"

The two fell into the valley below, motionless, already dead.

The crowd looked curiously at the two corpses, which were middle-aged and looked very similar, as if they were brothers.

"Dead too!"

"Ugh……"

What exactly happened inside the cave? Did it trigger an even bigger trap?

"Come in and take a look?"

"..."

They discussed amongst themselves, but no one made a move. They all watched silently as the Flying Snow Cave became illusory and then disappeared.

The original location was just a cliff, no different from the surrounding cliffs.

"They've really disappeared!"

"Damn it, it's gone again!"

"This Flying Snow Cave is truly wondrous..."

……

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu landed on a mountaintop, bathed in the evening glow.

Lu Xiaolu turned her head to look at Chu Zhiyuan, scanning him up and down before finally settling on his face.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior sister, I'm not injured."

"Then just now..."

"They're killing each other."

Lu Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief: "That was really scary. I thought you used the Jade Heaven Sword."

She then asked, "What level of Venerable Ones are these two?"

“It should be the eighth level, not the ninth level,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “The Myriad Blood Sect still doesn’t really take it seriously.”

"Junior brother, are you really not injured?"

"They didn't hurt me."

"That's terrifying. Next time, Junior Brother, you should stay outside and activate the Demon-Subduing Blade."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "If we stay outside and encounter any experts, we'll have to eliminate them. The power of the Demon-Subduing Blade isn't enough."

"But it would be too dangerous if we got trapped inside."

"Senior sister, with my current movement skills, you can't stop me."

“...That makes sense.” Lu Xiaolu nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan's current speed and agility have surpassed his own, making it almost impossible for him to block him.

"Senior sister, the most important thing is tomorrow," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile. "Tomorrow we should be able to see more experts from the Myriad Blood Sect."

Lu Xiaolu said, "I think almost all the martial arts masters in Tongyuan City have come here once and have been injured. I don't think anyone will dare to try again tomorrow."

She spent the whole day touring Tongyuan City and found that almost all the martial arts masters were injured.

Almost all of those who were injured were wounded by flying knives after failing to enter the cave.

Of course, there are also those who have grudges against each other and want to take advantage of the other's misfortune when they see the other injured.

The entire city of Tongyuan was thrown into turmoil by the Flying Snow Cave, a scene of bloodshed and carnage.

She clicked her tongue in amazement.

She judged that those who had been injured and had witnessed the power of the flying knives probably wouldn't have the courage to venture into the Flying Snow Cave again.

They stayed here because they wanted to see the cave dwelling destroyed with their own eyes, to see what it looked like, and what kind of heritage or treasures were hidden inside.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If they don't dare to come again, then it will be the turn of the experts from the Myriad Blood Sect to come."

Lu Xiaolu hesitated, somewhat worried: "Junior brother, are you really going to take on the experts from the Myriad Blood Sect head-on?"

She had previously thought the Myriad Blood Sect was worthless, but now she realized that the Myriad Blood Sect was hiding its strength and should not be underestimated.

If top experts are deployed, the two of them might not be able to stop them.

The Demon-Subduing Blade is effective against demons, but its effectiveness against the Myriad Blood Sect is limited.

Ultimately, it comes down to cultivation level and martial arts skills.

Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation level is only at the sixth level. Even if he can withstand the seventh level with the Demon Subduing Blade, he will have difficulty with the eighth level, and there may even be a ninth-level Venerable.

The Jade Heaven Sword can only be used three times.

So it's still very dangerous.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is a rare opportunity... Senior Sister, you should stay and watch over me. If I am not able to defeat you, I will not act recklessly."

"...Okay, I'll have my senior sisters and the others move a little closer."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It is not advisable to get too close, lest we be detected by the Myriad Blood Sect. After all, they have been operating here for a long time, and their methods are hard to guard against."

"Don't worry," Lu Xiaolu said with a smile, "My senior sisters are very careful, they won't be discovered."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

……

"The Flying Snow Cave has reappeared!"

"where is it?"

"North of the city."

"Sigh... It's all for nothing. Nobody can get in."

This time, a shout did not provoke all the martial arts masters to rush out.

The martial arts masters in the restaurant, on the other hand, sat calmly, drinking, eating, and discussing amongst themselves.

They were all injured and calmed down.

They knew that while the Flying Snow Cave looked beautiful, it was not a place they could easily enter.

All we can do is watch the show from the sidelines.

Since we're here to watch the show, it won't happen anytime soon.

Four middle-aged men stood atop a mountain, looking at the Snowfall Cave halfway up the cliff opposite them.

Their expressions were indifferent, and their voices were flat and emotionless.

The morning sunlight shone on them, making them look like four statues, looking down at the opposite cliff and below.

After the appearance of the Flying Snow Cave, there were only a dozen or so martial arts masters below the cliff.

Instead of rushing up the cliff and into the cave, the dozen or so martial arts masters hesitated and did not proceed.

They had all experienced firsthand how powerful the Flying Snow Cave was, and knew that venturing into it would be futile.

I've only been injured before, and I've had great luck. What about next time?

Throwing knives have no eyes; if they didn't hit a vital spot last time, they might not hit it next time.

It's not that no one died; on the contrary, dozens of experts died.

After a while, four middle-aged men on the mountaintop broke the silence.

A middle-aged man slowly said, "Is it an illusion?"

Another middle-aged man shook his head and said calmly, "It doesn't look like an illusion."

"Does such a cave dwelling, which can be moved at will, truly exist in this world?"

There are records of this in ancient times.

"Is this really an ancient cave dwelling?"

"pretty close."

"The cost has already been considerable; we need to make our move and take it all down."

"If we don't take it down today, we might alert the four major sects."

If the experts from the four major sects come, they will probably be able to take over the cave. If they dare to try again, the four major sects may discover their headquarters.

“Then take it!” a middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"We will work together, stick to one path, and act as one, without getting separated."

"Let's split up. Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Brother Fang went together, but ended up killing each other in the process."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other three middle-aged men changed slightly.

Yesterday, two experts from the sect perished together, and they had both seen the extent of their injuries.

The result was that he died at the hands of his opponent, a mutual destruction.

They couldn't help but suspect that they had discovered treasures or a legacy inside the cave and died while trying to seize them.

If the four of them travel together and discover this, conflict is inevitable.

Why don't we each go our own way and see who's lucky enough to get it first?

This can also prevent infighting.

"Alright then, let's each go our own way."

"Let's go."

The four of them swooped down like four eagles and plunged straight into the Flying Snow Cave.

Lu Xiaolu stood at a distance, knowing that these were four experts from the Ten Thousand Blood Sect.

They restrained their imposing manner, but still felt a faint sense of unease, a feeling no different from standing before the Nine-Turn Venerable.

Four Ninth-Rank Venerables?!

Can Junior Brother Chu handle this?

"boom!"

A muffled thud came from inside the cave, making her heart skip a beat.

Then two experts flew out, covered in blood, and fell heavily to the open space below the cliff.

Lu Xiaolu glanced at them and noticed that they all had a large hole in their chests, with blood gushing out.

Her bright eyes flashed, and she guessed that Chu Zhiyuan had drawn his sword.

That should be the Jade Heaven Sword.

One sword kills two people; four who went in can be dealt with in just two swords.

The remaining sword strike can still be saved.

That's really good.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The muffled thuds continued, and the entire cliff trembled incessantly.

Lu Xiaolu frowned slightly.

Are they killing each other, or are they ganging up on Chu Zhiyuan?
She had a faint urge to rush in and help, but then she thought about her own cultivation level and could only suppress her eagerness and keep her eyes fixed on the cave.

Two figures flew out again, crashing heavily to the ground, causing a great tremor.

Lu Xiaolu saw that they also only had a bloody hole in their hearts.

At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan stood solemnly inside the cave.

This time, a real cave was used, not a pure illusion.

Instead of directly leading them into another cave to use throwing knives to finish them off.

Leng Tieya and Chu Liezhao each stepped into the portal and disappeared.

With the three of them working together, and with the help of several powerful magical artifacts, they finally defeated the four Ninth-Rank Venerables.

The Nine Revolutions of Biyuan Heaven are indeed inferior to the Nine Revolutions Venerable of Tianwai Heaven.

Otherwise, it's not certain that we could have won.

However, dealing with these four Ninth-Rank Venerables has already severely weakened the Myriad Blood Sect.

The merit within the Demon Subduing Palace is becoming increasingly abundant. Ultimately, the cultivation of the Three Inner Elements will still require its use, especially the Heavenly Origin Technique of the second level.

Unfortunately, I haven't mastered the second level of the Earthly Origin Technique yet.

What exactly is the power of the second level of the Earthly Origin Technique?
He flashed and appeared beside Lu Xiaolu on the mountaintop.

Lu Xiaolu looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise: "Junior brother, you used the Jade Heaven Sword?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"One more sword strike?"

"There are two more swords," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile. "In the end, we made them kill each other without using the Jade Heaven Sword."

"Thank goodness." Lu Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Senior Sister, let Senior Sister Qi and the others come and lend me a hand. I estimate that the experts from the Ten Thousand Blood Sect will arrive soon."

With four Ninth-Rank Venerables fallen this time, the Myriad Blood Sect will certainly not give up, and it is very likely that a large number of experts will rush over again.

“Okay, I’ll go invite my senior sisters.” Lu Xiaolu nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Come from this way."

He led Lu Xiaolu to the other side of the cliff.

There was a secret passage that led directly to the cave in front of us.

Lu Xiaolu looked at him in surprise, never expecting that he could find this cave.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If the Myriad Blood Sect can mobilize all its forces, that would be the best."
