Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 154 Picking up the bargains

Lu Yuan had told Gao Wu that he would follow behind and take care of him.

Gao Wu didn't know where Lu Yuan was either. Yin spirits could see life aura and source energy. However, those who reached the level of martial arts masters could seal their own aura, enough to shield themselves from the observation of Yin spirits.

This was a new discovery Gao Wu made about Luo Mo and the others, because he only realized something was wrong when they were very close.

This perception originated from the intuition of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, and then the Yin God determined the target's location.

For a martial arts master, a distance of less than 200 meters is like face to face.

They initially had a chance to escape thanks to their mechanical warhorses, but the enemy's ranged attacks were truly terrifying. A thunderous strike instantly destroyed the mechanical warhorses.

Gao Wu had initially thought Lu Yuan hadn't come along, but now he was hoping Lu Yuan would arrive soon, otherwise he and Xiao Song would be doomed.

"Using mental power to shield one's own aura doesn't seem too difficult..."

Gao Wu used his Yin Spirit to observe the three enemies at close range and immediately discovered the secret of their ability to shield their auras. All three had condensed their spiritual power into small fields to prevent their auras from leaking out to the maximum extent.

Gao Wu felt that this technique should not be difficult; essentially, it was about bringing the outward expression of martial arts spirit inward.

It's a little too late to realize this now!

The Qilin Divine Hero Mantra can sense good and bad fortune, but it only senses it a few seconds in advance, which is a bit of a letdown...

“If Master Lu doesn’t come, we’ll split up. They’re coming for me, so splitting up still gives us a chance…”

At the critical moment, Gao Wu remained remarkably clear-headed. He didn't know how Luo Mo had found him, but he suspected it must have been through some kind of special tracking technique.

Anyway, this was definitely not a coincidence. In such a big place, how could you possibly run into several martial arts masters by chance?

It's true that martial arts masters can conceal their aura, but once they make a move, their source energy reaction will immediately be revealed, and they absolutely cannot hide it.

Rama and his companions remained silent, clearly indicating that they were coming for him.

Song Mingyue rarely shook her head to express her opposition, but she held Gao Wu's hand tightly to show her determination not to give up.

"Fine, let's just be a pair of lovebirds destined for the same fate..." Gao Wu didn't expect the usually calm Xiao Song to be so uncalm. Instead, he laughed and reached out to pinch Xiao Song's cheek. "You're so beautiful!"

Song Mingyue did not respond; she simply unleashed the Frost Moon Sword.

She has a strong will and will fight with all her might even when she is in dire straits.

Gao Wu was somewhat moved. Perhaps because of the awakening of his innate wisdom, he thought a lot more about life and death at this critical moment.

Since Xiao Song refuses to leave, then we have no choice but to fight to the death!

Gao Wu drew his Destiny Sword and simultaneously threw a flashbang. This specially made flashbang could quickly burn and glow under high-speed friction, emitting a brilliant light in the night sky.

Before the incendiary bomb could even take off, it was shattered by a marble and burst into flames at a height of seven or eight meters.

Rama, accompanied by two human martial arts experts, was rapidly approaching. Their target was Gao Wu, and they had no time to waste words with him.

There are several martial arts masters in this area, and time is precious.

The warriors at the forefront wore dark armor, which, judging from its design, was clearly a bio-engineered suit of armor made with human technology, completely different from the exoskeleton that Rama was born with.

This martial artist was tall and held a long sword. His movements were as graceful and agile as a dragon, and he must have been practicing the Nine Forms of the Dragon.

The other warrior was relatively thin and wore full armor, with a pair of upright goat horns on his helmet and a row of short spears on his back, making him look like a master thrower.

Rama, the insect-man, lagged behind, his steps leisurely and unhurried.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, startling Zheng Ming, the priest at the forefront. He looked up and saw a deep blue streak of light descending from the sky like a meteor.

At the center of the deep blue meteor was a martial arts expert clad in armor and wielding a gun—no, a martial arts grandmaster named Lu Yuan!

Zheng Ming was shocked; Lu Yuan had arrived far too quickly!

The insect-man Rama roared, "You can't escape! You hold him off, I'll kill Gao Wu!"

Another priest, Yang Mu, nodded. The three of them working together might be able to stop Lu Yuan. If they couldn't, it would depend on who was lucky enough to escape.

They were well aware of the risks of entering this pre-selected area to fight. However, Lu Yuan's arrival was too swift, catching all three off guard and leaving them with no way to escape.

It can only be said that Lu Yuan had an excellent grasp of timing; he must have been following Gao Wu the whole time.

Rama didn't really care about Gao Wu. He was just a minor warrior with some fame among humans, and he didn't quite understand why the high priest would care about Gao Wu.

As an alien race, he didn't particularly like the human priest's plan. However, since he needed human help in this world, he had to cooperate with the plan.

By locking onto Gao Wu's life force in the previous instance, Luo Mo was able to find Gao Wu in the vast wilderness.

It now seems that the other side also understands the significance of high-level martial arts, and is using high-level martial arts as bait. This is a very simple and straightforward strategy, but it is very effective!

Yang Mu drew two short spears and hurled them at Lu Yuan. The spears crackled with lightning like thunderbolts, as he unleashed all his source power.

He had held back when bombarding the warhorse, fearing he might accidentally kill Gao Wu with a single spear thrust. But facing Lu Yuan, he burned his acupoints and unleashed the Divine Lord's Secret Technique.

His cultivation level is that of a martial arts master. With the power of his divine technique, he can rival Lu Yuan. The difference lies in his martial arts realm.

Lu Yuan, who was falling like a meteor, shook his long spear, and the short spear that shot out like lightning was knocked away.

Yang Mu and Zheng Ming both felt a chill in their hearts. Lu Yuan's response was too composed; the situation was not good!

Yang Mu disregarded everything else at this moment, and took out two more short guns, aiming them at Gao Wu. He was worried that Luo Mo was too slow, so he thought it would be safer to take matters into his own hands. A flash of lightning streaked through the air, and in an instant, the two short guns were in front of Gao Wu, only a few dozen meters apart.

The intense electric light flashing from the short gun illuminated Gao Wuying's face and the bright green light in his eyes.

The short gun, flashing with lightning, suddenly faltered slightly.

Gao Wu's Heavenly Fate Sword hummed softly as it slashed precisely to the left and right, striking the two short spears. Sparks flew and lightning crackled, the source energy on the short spears was blasted apart, and they grazed Gao Wu's body before shooting out, piercing through several large trees with a deafening roar...

Yang Mu was stunned. Gao Wu was actually able to block his javelin. Even with the help of a mentalist, it was still very incredible.

Before Yang Mu could make another move, Lu Yuan's spear was already thrust in front of him. Yang Mu activated his divine technique again, his body radiating intense source energy. He drew two short spears to meet Lu Yuan's attack.

The three spears clashed together. Yang Mu's two spears suddenly created a small gap, while Lu Yuan's spear, like a snake spitting its tongue, plunged into Yang Mu's heart with its dark blue triangular blade.

Yang Mu's armor was pierced through as easily as paper, and his flesh and blood were completely penetrated by the spear.

With his body structure destroyed, Yang Mu was unable to withstand the high-frequency source power vibrating from the azure spear blade, and his upper body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

In a single exchange, Lu Yuan had already stabbed Yang Mu to death.

At this moment, martial arts master Lu Yuan fully revealed the superiority of his martial arts realm. Although the two seemed to have similar levels of source energy, their understanding of combat was on completely different levels.

Such divine power shocked Zheng Ming, who had turned back to provide support, and he naturally slowed down.

Lu Yuan completely ignored Zheng Ming. He activated the source power of his battle armor and instantly rushed to Luo Mo's side.

Rama had anticipated this, and he punched the spear that was thrusting straight at him.

The deep blue spear danced like a dragon, its blade bypassing Rama's fist and piercing straight for his heart. The simple yet ingenious variation made Gao Wu's eyebrows dance with excitement; this move was clearly a variation of the "Fierce Dragon Crossing the River" from the Nine Forms of Dragon Style.

The dragon crossing the river is strong and fierce, but it does not charge straight in; instead, its body twists and turns gracefully.

Grandmaster Lu Yuan's spear transformed into a dragon—truly magnificent! Gao Wu had thought his martial arts skills were quite good, but now it seemed he was still far from it.

It is only now that his fundamental abilities have improved that he can understand Lu Yuan's changes in technique and the battle.

The insect-man Rama was much stronger than Yang Mu. He pulled back his chest and simultaneously shook his arm to generate force, knocking the spear away just before the blade pierced through his breastplate.

This strike of source power unleashed a tremendous roar.

Using the force of their clash, Rama shot backward like an arrow, and Lu Yuan flicked his spear to deflect the impact before thrusting again.

This shot was not like a giant claw emerging from the heavens, possessing overwhelming power, speed, and sharpness.

Rama was surprised that Lu Yuan could use source power transformation. His eyes widened suddenly, taking in all the changes in source power around Lu Yuan.

"There's no escaping it!" Rama made the judgment without hesitation, clasping his hands together to grip the spear blade and handle.

With a whirring sound, the spear twisted and shattered Rama's fists. The spear then thrust forward, its blade piercing Rama's heart and creating a large hole.

Rama retreated swiftly with the spear, his body radiating source energy flames, actually managing to suppress the shockwave of source energy emanating from the spear.

Lu Yuan was about to unleash his full power to completely defeat Rama when he discovered that Zheng Ming had turned and fled into the distance, having already run more than a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

The mountain environment is complex; if this guy runs far away, it will be difficult to catch him.

Although Rama was not dead, he was severely injured and no longer a threat. Lu Yuan immediately gripped his gun and chased after Zheng Ming.

Wearing bio-engineered armor, Lu Yuan could fly through the air, moving with lightning speed, and caught up with Zheng Ming in an instant.

Having been severely injured, Rama got a chance to catch his breath. He glanced at Gao Wu not far away and gave up the idea of ​​killing him. Now he still had a chance to escape.

Just then, Gao Wu raised the Golden Thunder Eagle and fired continuously at Luo Mo. The two were only a few dozen meters apart, and the eighteen bullets fired in quick succession reached Luo Mo in 0.1 seconds.

Without hands, Rama simply activated his Source Force Field to withstand the bullet barrage. He had no time to argue with Gao Wu and was about to turn and leave when a bright halo, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slashed towards him.

Rama once again channeled his primal energy, sending the rapidly spinning sword wheel flying.

Just then, the Yin God arrived with his sword, which had been imbued with the Eightfold Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra and turned completely crimson. He slashed down angrily at Rama.

The speed of the sword-wielding Yin God had reached 200 meters per second, and Rama was powerless to dodge it. He could only stir up the source force field again to resist.

The intense heat on the blade distorted the rising mist of the source energy field, but ultimately failed to break through Rama's source energy field.

Gao Wu's heart stirred, and his Yin God transformed from a slash into a piercing strike. The crimson sword blade turned into a line of flame and suddenly pierced into the source force field, penetrating into the depths of Luo Mo's wide-open eyes.

Where the crimson blade passed, half of Rama's head instantly carbonized...

The insect-man martial arts master was killed by the sword-wielding Yin God.

Lu Yuan, who had just killed Zheng Ming, happened to witness this scene, and he also showed a hint of surprise.

Gao Wu reached out and beckoned, and the crimson blade spun and flew back to its sheath.

When Lu Yuan approached, Gao Wu solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Master Lu, for saving my life!"

Lu Yuan looked Gao Wu up and down: "A martial arts master who can kill insectoids, truly impressive!"

"I got a good deal from Master Lu, hehe..." Gao Wu said with a simple, honest smile.
