Chapter 671: The Red Coffin That Could Reach The Other Side of the Shore
Lu Song felt a searing pain when the energy swords slashed at his body. At this moment, fear had completely tightened its grip on his heart, causing him to lose the will to resist.
‘Golden avatar? Is there truth to the Sky Martial Court’s research?’ Lu Song tried to get a better look at the sword elite in front of him. Alas, he could get a clear look. It was strange. Why did he have no recollection of this elite’s face? It was as though he had forgotten what the elite looked like. Even if he did not, what did it matter now? After all, he finally understood the reason Yu Shangrong had lured him here.
The energy swords continued their attacks on Lu Song’s body, face, and eyes, causing him to lose consciousness. After what seemed like hours, the energy swords finally disappeared.
Yu Shangrong hovered in the air as he held his scarlet Longevity Sword, pointing its tip downward.
Lu Song’s intact body lay behind Yu Shangrong. However, in just a second, a blast of energy erupted before the body exploded and scattered in the air.
The energy swords had completely devoured Lu Song.
…
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points. Domain extra: 1,000 merit points."
…
Yu Shangrong did not look back. After all, an elite knew the outcome of a battle the moment he made his move.
Lu Song was a Six-leaf elite, and Yu Shangrong was an Eight-leaf elite. He could have killed Lu Song with a single sword strike. Moreover, he was not an ordinary Eight-leaf cultivator. For someone like him, killing a Six-leaf cultivator was like an incredibly boring chore.
Yu Shangrong flipped his palm, and the Longevity Sword was restored to its original state after a red energy flew into the sword.
After he put his sword away, his body flashed out of sight again as he returned to the Thousand Willow Monastery.
…
When Yu Shangrong returned to the Thousand Willow Monastery, Ji Fengxing ran up to him and anxiously said, "S-senior… Where’s the Flying Star House’s Lu Song? We’re done for if he returns to the Flying Star House! We can’t afford to offend the Flying Star House!"
"He’s dead," Yu Shangrong replied nonchalantly.
"D-dead?!" Chills ran up Ji Fengxing’s spine. His eyes widened in shock as he asked "How did he die?"
Yu Shangrong crossed his arms and leaned against the railing, He looked at the mountains and rivers and calmly said, "All you have to do is to swing your sword."
"…"
‘Is this how bosses talk?’ Although this was not the answer Ji Fengxing expected to hear, it sounded reasonable enough.
After a beat, Ji Fengxing asked skeptically, "Senior… That’s not what I meant. Lu Song is a Six-leaf elite of the Flying Star House. He’s a Six-leaf cultivator… Did you kill him?"
Yu Shangrong glanced at Ji Fengxing before he said, "He’s a weakling… Is there a reason why I can’t kill him?"
"…" Ji Fengxing was at a loss for words. Yu Shangrong made it seem like Six-leaf cultivators were an insignificant existence.
When Yu Shangrong saw the shocked and speechless expressions on Ji Fengxing’s face, he decided to explain himself. After all, he would have to stay here for a while. He did not want to seem too eye-catching. When he recalled his earlier words, he said, "If you know me, you’d understand how humble I’m actually being."
