Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 279 Kou Wu (Bonus Chapter!!!)

Blue sky and bright sun, blue sea and surging waves.

Zhu Juxu stood in mid-air, breathing in the long-awaited sea breeze, and the pent-up depression in his heart was swept away.

"We're finally out!"

He glanced back at Cloud Whale Island, shrouded in thick fog, a hint of apprehension in his eyes, before gently shaking his head.

"The Demon Realm!"

At this point, Cloud Whale Island is probably already teeming with zombies, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it difficult to escape once trapped.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on the mood of that 'demonic cultivator' on the island.

As for who that demonic cultivator is...

Is it really Yan Nanshuang?

Zhu Ju didn't care.

Getting to the bottom of things isn't in his nature; avoiding danger is the best option.

"Let's go!"

He took out a nautical chart and compass, checked his location, and then, with a burst of light, headed straight south.

Without Yunjing Island as a base, the days ahead are still long, and it may take one or two decades to reach the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Some dangers are inevitable along the way.

"Ok?"

After flying for a while, Zhu Ju suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked back.

The area behind was completely empty and had no view whatsoever.

But a strange sense of unease rose in his heart, as if some danger was approaching.

"strangeness!"

Zhu Ju muttered something under his breath, then his shoulders swayed slightly, and the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings slowly unfolded from behind him.

Although I don't know the specific reason, I think that as long as I stay away from this place, I can avoid trouble.

"boom……"

"Shh!"

The wind and thunder roared.

With a blinding flash of lightning, Zhu Ju's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing a hundred feet away. The lightning danced back and forth, and in no time he had fled dozens of miles away, his speed increasing rapidly.

An hour later.

Zhu Ju stopped his escape light with heavy breathing and landed on a desolate island below.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of anxiety. The prolonged use of the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings had caused his breathing to become unstable.

Controlling magical artifacts was ultimately too much of a strain for him.

but,
The sense of crisis that lingered in my mind did not disappear; on the contrary, it became more and more obvious.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Sitting cross-legged on the reef, Zhu Ju's eyes were lowered.
"I, Zhu, would like to see what exactly is bothering me!"

"call!"

He formed a hand seal, opened his mouth and gently exhaled, a ball of true fire spewed out, enveloping the wisp of light and slowly refining it.

At the same time, he took out a pill from his body and swallowed it to regulate his breathing.

After checking his belongings again to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, he closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Time passes little by little.

a moment.

"coming!"

Zhu Ju suddenly opened his eyes.

The surroundings had been deserted for a long time, without a single person in sight, and even the sea breeze was as gentle as ever.

Only the warning signs in my heart were getting closer and closer.

where?

Upon glancing at him, Zhu Ju suddenly lowered his head.

Underwater!

"boom!"

A terrifying force erupted from the bottom of the water, and the desolate island where Zhu Ju was located shattered with a deafening roar.

A roaring water dragon, hundreds of feet long, shot into the sky, tearing through the rocks, catching up with the figure, and opening its huge mouth to bite down hard.

Secret Technique - Water Dragon Roar!
"Zheng!"

More than three hundred curved swords trembled in unison.

Amidst the raging wind and thunder, Zhu Ju suddenly charged across a distance of about a mile, narrowly avoiding the water dragon that emerged from the seabed.

"magic weapon?"

A surprised voice rang out:
“A mere early-stage Dao Foundation cultivator actually possesses a magic treasure; no wonder my brother died at your hands.”

"It's you!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhu Ju's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"Your Excellency is quite persistent, continuing to pursue me even after leaving Cloud Whale Island."

The newcomer was none other than Kou Wu, the younger brother of Kou Wen, a late-stage Dao Foundation cultivator from the Ghost Cave of the South China Sea.

Kou Wu was shirtless, carrying a trident, his long hair flying behind him, and water dragons swirling around him, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, like a sea god.

"The hatred for killing my brother is irreconcilable." Kou Wu raised his trident and pointed it at Zhu Ju in the distance.
"and……"

"I'm also very interested in you as a person."

"Shh!"

With a flick of his wrist, the water around him instantly transformed into a torrential downpour that crashed down on Zhu Ju.

Water droplets are delicate.

But under Kou Wude's control, every drop of water falling from the sky was heavy water condensed by magic, capable of easily piercing through metal. Even Dao Foundation cultivators could not withstand the barrage of attacks.

"Humph!"

Zhu Ju snorted lightly, and the stream of light he had previously refined with true fire flew out, transforming into a suit of armor that covered his entire body, supporting a piece of heaven and earth amidst the torrential rain.

His armor was a dark yellow, but when activated by his true energy, it immediately shone with golden light, making him look like a golden-armored deity.

A vast and powerful force was concentrated on the surface of the armor, and even the heavy water imbued with magic could not break through its defenses.

Vajra Myo-o Armor!
The Sun family of the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce possesses a top-tier defensive magic weapon. Although it is not a magical treasure, its defensive power is extremely astonishing.

The only drawback is that it is too heavy, making it difficult for anyone who has not mastered body tempering to wear.

"what?"

Kou Wu raised an eyebrow upon seeing this:

"Isn't this armor Sun Tuo's?"

He remembered it vividly; Sun Tuo had escaped from him several times using this armor.

Never thought.

It actually fell into Zhu Ju's hands.

"interesting!"

Kou Wu squinted:

"Although Sun Tuo was seriously injured here, killing him and seizing the treasure will not be an easy task."

"Rumble..."

Before anyone could see what he was doing, the water surface within a radius of about a mile suddenly became agitated, with streams of water shooting into the sky and instantly transforming into a cage.

Northern Gui Water Hollow Void Capture Technique!
The secret techniques used by late-stage Dao Foundation cultivators with the help of magic treasures have shown signs of exceeding the second-tier limit in terms of power.

As the oppressive aura descended upon him, Zhu Ju felt his body sink as if he were carrying a mountain, severely limiting his movement speed.

"Humph!"

With a low hum, the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings on his back trembled violently, retreating with a thunderous roar and flashes of lightning.

"Want to escape?"

Kou Wu narrowed his eyes, his figure blurred as he suddenly rushed forward, simultaneously manipulating streams of water to intercept him.

next moment.

Zhu Ju, who was flying backward, suddenly stopped and reversed his momentum, rushing towards Kou Wu at an even faster speed.

Lightning crackled and surged, traversing a hundred feet in an instant, appearing right in front of the opponent.

"boom!"

Zhu Ju clenched his fist, his fist shattering the air, and struck Kou Wu's face with a trembling roar.

Close!

He has already connected his three souls, and his physical body is comparable to a Dao Foundation cultivator at the third level of Body Refinement. In addition, with the Vajra King Armor of the Sun family, he can hold his own even against someone at the third level of Body Refinement.

In close combat, he showed no fear of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The escape just now was merely a ploy to lure the enemy deeper; the real goal was to close the distance between us.

"Peng!"

A trident over ten feet long was held horizontally in front of the fist, and a violent stream of water burst forth from the trident, roaring like angry waves with astonishing power.

Kou Wu's face revealed a sinister smile.

The trident in his hand was no ordinary magic weapon, but was made from the spine and horn of a third-tier demon beast. It naturally possessed the ability to control the power of water, making it even more powerful in the East Sea.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a mid-grade magic weapon.

A casual strike can unleash a torrent of power, which even those with advanced body refinement would find difficult to withstand.

Melee?

He was equally unafraid!
"when……"

The sound of the collision was deafening.

The two figures suddenly froze, and surprise appeared in their eyes.

next moment.

Zhu Ju's expression hardened, and he spread his five fingers and clenched them forward, unleashing a surge of five-colored divine light from his palm.

As soon as the divine light fell, the trident's spiritual light dimmed instantly.

how come?
Kou Wu's eyes widened in terror, and he unleashed his true essence wildly, no longer suppressing his late-stage Dao Foundation cultivation.

He had never encountered a situation where his magical artifact was being suppressed before, and he was momentarily flustered. "Boom!"

The seawater within a radius of about one mile surged back, and countless forces emerged from all directions, crashing madly towards Zhu Ju.

Dozens of water spheres the size of fists appeared out of thin air.

Gui Water Divine Thunder!

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

A mine exploded, and two figures collided wildly amidst the swirling water, sending jets of water shooting in all directions.

Blood Burning Curse!
Wind and Thunder Blade Wings!
More than three hundred throwing knives whistled out, swirling wildly in all directions.

Zhu Ju went all out, relying on his physical strength to resist and the Five-Colored Divine Light to suppress, and even used other methods at the same time.

Frosty Water God's Claw!
Amidst the swirling water, countless claw-like shadows, radiating extreme cold, appeared and lunged downwards.

Kou Wu's cultivation methods were clearly extraordinary, and all his mysterious spells were incredibly powerful.

but,
Despite Zhu Ju closing in, he still ended up on the bottom.

The fact that the trident was suppressed by the five-colored divine light and showed signs of being taken away made him even more panicked.

"puff!"

With a swift chop, a deep bloody gash appeared on Kou Wu's upper body.

kill!

Ten Directions Killing Path!
Zhu Ju's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He used his hand as a knife, and the blades clashed in the air, instantly enveloping Kou Wu.

"puff!"

"Pfft..."

Blood splattered.

pity!

Zhu Ju's face showed regret.

If he had the Horizontal and Vertical Blade in hand, this attack would have severely injured the opponent, even if it didn't kill them; but now it's only a minor injury.

"boom!"

A sudden burst of cold air erupted in the field, and a hundred or so mines exploded indiscriminately, indiscriminately targeting friend or foe.

Third-tier spirit talisman - Mystic Ice Divine Talisman!
Gui Water Divine Thunder!

Such a desperate counterattack forced even Zhu Ju to retreat frantically.

The essence of the wheel.

He was ultimately no match for his opponent.

If he were to fall into a truly dangerous situation, Kou Wu might only suffer severe injuries, but he would most likely not survive.

A huge block of ice suddenly appeared in the void, and then shattered amidst the raging lightning.

"what!"

Covered in wounds, Kou Wu roared to the sky:

"die!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Despite being covered in wounds, he regained control, and with a swing of his trident, the sky instantly changed color.

Water Prison Cage - A Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!

The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged like the tide, and thousands upon thousands of water columns descended from the sky, crashing down upon Zhu Ju.

"Peng!"

"boom……"

Zhu Ju brandished his fists and used his flying sword to shatter the water column. He glanced around and frowned slightly.

He then flashed away and flew off.

escape!
With his current strength, he was still somewhat overwhelmed when facing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who was going all out and possessed a magical treasure.

While you can gain the upper hand in close combat, your opponent has already fallen for your trick once and will obviously not fall for it again.

"Where to escape!"

Kou Wu roared and rode the water to catch up.

He didn't chase too close, but instead attacked from a distance.

"Fellow Daoist, why be so aggressive?" Zhu Ju glanced back, then tossed out a few items with a flick of his sleeve.

"boom!"

"Crack..."

The talisman and divine lightning struck down, causing Kou Wu's body to sway.

However, such methods were nothing more than a tickle to him; they would only provoke the other party and have no effect whatsoever.

The two chased and fled for thousands of miles.

Zhu Ju's foundation was too weak, and he could not use the Blood Burning Curse for a long time. His aura gradually became unstable.

"It seems that things cannot be resolved peacefully today."

He turned around and tossed out all sorts of talismans, divine lightning, and puppets in a flurry.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal and urged the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings to slash at Kou Wu.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

The sound of collisions continued.

This time, however, Kou Wu was smarter and did not approach Zhu Ju, but instead planned to slowly wear down his strength.

Once his true energy is exhausted, he will achieve great things in one fell swoop.

He was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, only one step away from the perfect Foundation Establishment stage. His internal true essence was abundant, and even if he was depleted, he could recover with a single breath. In contrast, Zhu Ju had to go all out with every move, and it wouldn't be long before he exhausted his internal true essence.

“Your methods are quite impressive, but unfortunately they only work effectively in close combat,” Kou Wu said, staring at Zhu Ju as he brandished his trident, unleashing a continuous barrage of water attacks.
"He has only been at the Foundation Establishment stage for twenty years, yet he has the cultivation level of the third level of Body Refinement, and his left hand can even suppress magical treasures."

"I'm very curious about what secrets you're hiding."

Zhu Ju remained silent, launching various attacks while silently counting down in his mind.

ten!
Nine!
……

three!
two!
All right!

His expression suddenly relaxed, and with one hand pressing down, the Investiture of the Gods, which had been mixed in with the talismans and thrown next to Kou Wen, suddenly unfolded.

The Reversed Five Elements Illusion Array!

Second-tier low-grade formation!

"what?"

Kou Wen's expression changed drastically.

He was aware, of course, that there was a painting floating beside him, but Zhu Ju had thrown out too many things along the way.

Especially the arts of talismans and skin-painting.

Many of them failed to activate and were rendered useless; this was not uncommon.

He thought the Investiture of the Gods was something similar...

Besides, who would have thought that an array could be hidden inside such a large painting?
"boom!"

As soon as the formation was activated, the world went dark.

Countless flames appeared out of thin air, and golden knives hung upside down, revealing the secrets of heaven.

Golden Blade and Blazing Flames!

A barrage of golden blades rained down, crashing down on Kou Wen. Whirlpools appeared on the ground, and earth dragons burst forth from them.

Zhu Ju was not idle either.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he drew his greatsword and rushed forward. With a stretch of his left hand, the five-colored divine light suppressed the trident.

"kill!"

"boom!"

The void trembled, and the energy surged endlessly.

a long time.

Zhu Ju, covered in dust and dirt, landed on a deserted island and, panting heavily, put the Investiture of the Gods into his pocket.

"Almost!"

"This guy actually has a third-tier barrier-breaking talisman. If the formation is destroyed, things will likely turn out badly today."

With a light laugh, Zhu Ju looked at the trident in his hand:
"Good thing."

"it's all over."

After rummaging through the spoils, Zhu Ju's expression changed, and he took out a dagger from Kou Wu's storage bag.

This thing.

It was a souvenir he gave to Yan Nanshuang.

"Yan Nanshuang?"

"It really is her!"

…………

Cloud Whale Island.

Yan Nanshuang seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around to look into the distance, her smile quietly fading away.

"He actually managed to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It seems he also harbors a deep secret."

"interesting……"

"That makes it even more interesting."

Turn around.

The entire Cloud Whale Island is now overrun with walking corpses, and the dense aura of the Yin Corpse is almost tangible.

"ten years!"

"With the help of the millions of living beings here, I will surely be able to achieve the Golden Core within ten years."
