In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 109 Limits, a Way Out

Although he had already obtained about five taels of Cold Jade Marrow, Lu Yuan did not leave Cold Jade Valley directly, but planned to continue searching for more Cold Jade Marrow.

No one would complain about having too much of a super resource like Jadeite; the more the better.

The reason why super resources are so precious is not only because their effects on cultivation surpass those of ordinary precious medicines, but also because they are much rarer.

Therefore, even though this is the Cold Jade Valley, which is extremely easy to cultivate Cold Jade Marrow, it is still difficult to find too much Cold Jade Marrow.

Moreover, the people who entered this Cold Jade Valley at the same time were nearly a thousand top geniuses from all over Tianshui Prefecture.

With too many monks and too little porridge, it all comes down to luck.

As Lu Yuan ventured deeper, the white mist in the space grew thicker and the cold air became increasingly biting.

Even he needs to constantly circulate his internal energy to keep his body from being affected.

"boom!"

Just then, a loud explosion was heard.

The next instant, a figure burst out from the mist and pounced directly at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly, then his figure transformed into a blur, easily dodging the attack.

"Chen Xiu!"

Lu Yuan looked up at the other person, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He truly hadn't expected that the person who ambushed him would be Chen Xiu.

"Lu Yuan, I don't really want to fight you, but I have no choice. I have to pass the martial arts examination. So, either you give me an ounce or two of Cold Jade Marrow, or I'll take it myself!"

Chen Xiu looked directly at Lu Yuan and said.

"You can give it a try!"

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said...

Although he had spent almost half a year at the breeding farm in Tianqingshan, and was a colleague of Liu Xiu even if they weren't friends, since the other party was going to attack him, then he was now an enemy.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Chen Xiu nodded, then reached out and struck out with her palm towards Lu Yuan.

In an instant, a palm print resembling interwoven crimson flames slammed directly toward Lu Yuan.

With his longsword drawn, Lu Yuan easily shattered the palm print.

"It seems you've been hiding your true abilities all along!"

Chen Xiu's expression changed slightly.

Although he didn't unleash his full power with that palm strike, it was enough to easily defeat an ordinary seventh-rank opponent.

However, Lu Yuan was not only unharmed, but also easily neutralized the attack with a casual sword strike, indicating that his true strength had probably reached at least the seventh-grade Iron Bone or even Golden Bone level.

"Since I've taken a palm strike from you, then you can take a sword strike from me!"

Lu Yuan stared coldly at Chen Xiu, then swung his sword again.

In an instant, a radiant sword aura burst forth.

"Grade-level swordsmanship at its peak!"

Chen Xiu's pupils contracted sharply. The terrifying power contained in this round of Great Sun Sword Qi must have far exceeded the limit of a seventh-grade martial artist.

Without hesitation, he retreated abruptly.

Even his one arm was swinging wildly.

Strands of crimson aura gathered and intertwined before him, eventually transforming into a crimson shield.

"Boom—"

The Great Sun Sword Qi collided with the blood-red shield in an instant.

Although the blood-red shield quickly collapsed and shattered, the Great Sun Sword Qi also dissipated into nothingness.

"Blood magic!"

Lu Yuan looked up at Chen Xiu, frowned, and asked, "You've joined the Longevity Sect?"

"What's wrong with the Longevity Cult? Not only does it make me stronger faster, but it also gave me a new arm!"

Chen Xiu did not deny it, and then continued, "Lu Yuan, if you are willing to give me a tael of Cold Jade Marrow, I can also invite you to join the sect."

"No need!"

Lu Yuan shook his head; he had no intention of joining the Longevity Cult.

If nothing unexpected happens, once he enters the Suspended Sword Division, he and the Longevity Sect will essentially be on opposing sides.

"Originally, I only wanted to obtain an ounce or two of Cold Jade Marrow from you to pass this round of testing. But now that you know my secret, don't blame me. Only the dead can keep secrets forever!"

Chen Xiu looked at Lu Yuan with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a new arm covered with blood-red runes rapidly condensed and intertwined at the spot where his severed arm had been.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed his bloodied arm into Lu Yuan's hand.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a blood-red fist imprint shrouded in blood energy instantly condensed and hurtled towards Lu Yuan at an incredibly fast speed.

The crimson fist imprint tore through the air, carrying terrifying power, and arrived in an instant.

Lu Yuan could naturally sense that the power unleashed by Chen Xiu's punch was several times stronger than that of the palm strike just now.

Even a sixth-rank or fifth-rank fighter might not be able to withstand that punch.

But he was different. Although he had only just entered the fifth rank, he had not only condensed the strongest five elements internal force, but also comprehended two realms of understanding at the same time.

In particular, his Thunder Sword Intent has reached 70%, and his true strength is so great that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he can barely rival the third rank.

"boom!"

As Lu Yuan swung his sword again, an even more dazzling sword aura of the Great Sun swiftly met the crimson fist imprint.

Looking back at that blood-red fist imprint, it was as if it were made of paper, instantly turning into nothingness.

"With forty percent of your fire essence, how much more are you hiding?"

Chen Xiu's expression changed drastically in horror, and she couldn't help but gasp in a trembling voice.

He had been cultivating at the Martial Academy for three whole years, yet he had only reached the second-tenth level of the realm.

In just over half a year, the other party has not only successfully stepped into the realm of artistic conception, but has also comprehended 40% of the artistic conception of fire.

What terrifying level of understanding!

That's insane!

"Lu Yuan, I was just joking with you. If you can keep my secret, I'll leave now, and I'll even give you half of the Longevity Elixir I obtain in the future."

Chen Xiu took a deep breath, then forced a smile and said to Lu Yuan.

No wonder he slid to his knees so quickly; the other party was just too terrifying.

"Not interested!"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Although this so-called holy water of immortality was rumored to be a divine object, capable of curing all diseases, prolonging life, and rapidly improving the cultivation and strength of martial artists, he had little interest in it.

With his destiny of mastering the art through practice, he only needs to steadily increase his skill level to quickly become stronger, without any side effects, making him far superior to this elixir of immortality.

"Lu Yuan, can't you give me a way out?"

Chen Xiu stared at Lu Yuan with a grim expression and said coldly, "Although you are very strong, if I fight to the death, it's not impossible for us to both perish!"

"Yeah?"

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, then swung his sword again.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a sword aura containing seventy percent of the sword intent of thunder swept towards Chen Xiu like a thunder dragon.

"Seventy percent of the sword intent of thunder!"

Chen Xiu was deeply shaken.

Forty percent of the sword intent of fire is not the limit? Is this even human?

Once Chen Xiu came to her senses, she dared not hesitate for a moment longer and frantically turned around to flee for her life.

Even behind him, blood energy intertwined and condensed into a shield.
