Chapter 83

In Luo Yi's eyes, Zheng Shi Yi was no different from a dying prey.

Many people with weak nerves, upon hearing his words, instinctively raised their hands, ready to cover their eyes when he ate Zheng Shi Yi, so as not to witness the brutal scene.

Wu Dong stared motionlessly at Luo Yi. He felt that he had seen this guy somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Who is he? He likes to eat people, and there are very few people with such a fetish. Why do I feel like I've seen him before?"

"I remember now."

Wu Dong's eyes lit up. He remembered where he had seen this person. His face immediately turned gloomy, and he urged Zheng Shi Yi, "Brother, this guy's real name is Luo Tu. Stop fighting him! Get off the stage quickly, quickly!"

"Luo Tu?"

Everyone's faces changed dramatically upon hearing this name, and they all retreated.

Luo Tu was from the Four Directions Kingdom. Once, due to his outstanding talent, he was hailed as the most outstanding genius of the Four Directions Kingdom. However, because he cultivated an evil technique and ate people everywhere, he once caused panic in the Four Directions Kingdom. The kingdom sent many powerful people to kill him. Luo Tu, unable to withstand the combined forces, was beaten to the point of being covered in wounds. He managed to escape using a secret technique.

According to the strong people who pursued him, even if Luo Tu escaped, he would die soon without medical treatment.

Now that he had reappeared here and become Yu Yan's subordinate, it could only mean that Yu Yan had saved him!

"Let's run quickly."

These people, knowing Luo Tu's identity, feared that he would kill them to silence them. Many of them ran away.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Luo Tu's mouth, and he laughed strangely, "I didn't expect that there are still people who know my identity. Little prey, did you see their reaction when they found out who I am? Why don't you come over obediently and let me eat you?"

Zheng Shi Yi slowly drew his battle stance with his knife and said in a deep voice, "You, who are neither human nor ghost, can only make me feel disgusted... nothing else."

Luo Tu's face instantly turned gloomy. No one except his master had ever dared to speak to him like that.

Luo Tu clenched his fists and roared, "Such a disobedient little prey. Since you won't come over obediently, I'll show you the power of this hunter!"

"Monkey Spirit!"

A layer of fur gradually appeared on Luo Tu's face, and his already bent body bent even more. From a distance, he looked like a wild monkey about to hunt.

Seeing Luo Tu's transformation, Elder Chai's face became even gloomier, "I didn't expect Luo Tu's Spirit to be the Monkey Spirit. Now, can that kid on the stage still find Luo Tu's shadow? Should I intervene? But the sect has rules, the Wind and Cloud Platform... cannot be interfered with! And... offending Yu Wei... is not worth it..."

The Monkey Spirit is a Spirit that enhances the agility of the cultivator. It is said that once this Spirit is released, no one can capture the user's figure.

Since the Monkey Spirit is a Spirit that upgrades with more usage, anyone who possesses this Spirit will release it at the first opportunity before engaging in combat.

Luo Tu used the Monkey Spirit right from the start, and Elder Chai felt that Zheng Shi Yi was in grave danger this time.

A black whirlwind swirled around Luo Tu. He stomped the ground with his feet, and the ground cracked like ice, forming trenches that rushed toward Zheng Shi Yi.

Luo Tu, with his hands by his cheeks, forcefully swung them backward.

The black nails instantly grew half a foot, resembling the claws of a fierce beast. Luo Tu bent his waist and leaped into the air, his entire body disappearing into the black whirlwind.

"Disappeared? Is he preparing to attack Zheng Shi Yi?"

Elder Chai focused his energy on his eyes, taking in all the information on the stage.

"Swish!"

White flashes of light, caused by the sharp claws, suddenly appeared above Zheng Shi Yi's eyes, rapidly approaching him.

"Such incredible speed, worthy of the Monkey Spirit!"

Everyone was amazed at Luo Tu's speed, believing that Zheng Shi Yi could not possibly dodge this attack.

Yu Yan shook his head at Zheng Shi Yi with a hint of regret, saying, "Is it too early to kill you now? If you had successfully defended the stage, would I have received 5,200 soul stones?"

Wu Dong clenched his fists tightly, regretting letting Zheng Shi Yi go up to the life-and-death stage.

Zheng Shi Yi calmly watched the white light approaching him. The opponent's speed was indeed fast, but compared to his Shadowless Blade, it was... still... a bit slower...

To be precise, it was not just a bit slower!

"Those 6,000 soul stones are mine!" As he spoke, Zheng Shi Yi's hand slid along the Shadowless Blade, and two even brighter white flashes appeared behind him.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound echoed as Luo Tu, who was rushing toward Zheng Shi Yi at a speed too fast to see, was cut in half by a single blade. His body, still moving forward at high speed, split into two... or rather, two pieces... each piece continuing to spurt blood.

The corpse rushed off the stage, and the inertia finally dissipated, landing with a thud... the limbs twitching uncontrollably.

"Dead? Luo Tu is dead?"

Everyone was petrified, mouths agape, staring in shock at Zheng Shi Yi, who had killed Luo Tu on the Wind and Cloud Platform.

Luo Tu, once a genius of the Four Directions Kingdom, even if his strength had declined after being injured by those who pursued him, his name alone was enough to terrify people, let alone the fact that he had been killed in battle.

Especially, the attack Luo Tu launched after releasing his Spirit, with its incredible speed, was almost impossible for anyone to capture his figure.

If Luo Tu's target had been them instead of Zheng Shi Yi, many would have found it impossible to resist such a violent and swift attack. But Zheng Shi Yi had actually killed Luo Tu... and in such a simple manner... as if he were killing a chicken, not a notorious killer.

Is this still a new disciple who hasn't even been in the sect for three months? How strong is he?

Yu Yan was completely stunned, dumbfounded at Zheng Shi Yi, who had killed Luo Tu.

Luo Tu's cultivation had recovered to a certain extent, and after releasing the Monkey Spirit, his agility and speed were so fast that even Yu Yan could not keep up.

If Luo Tu had attacked him, Yu Yan would have had no way to block that strike. Because that strike was really too fast!

Even if Zheng Shi Yi had judged Luo Tu's direction accurately with his superior martial sense and struck with a single blade, Luo Tu's agility would have allowed him to dodge!

But... he died... cut in half by Zheng Shi Yi's blade!

That blade... how fast must it have been?

"This kid is growing too fast. If I don't eliminate him, he will truly affect my entry into the Inner Sect." Yu Yan began to feel a strong urge to kill Zheng Shi Yi.

Zheng Shi Yi jumped off the stage, bent down, and picked up the soul stone tickets that both sides had dropped on the ground.

Because Luo Tu had died below the stage, the blood flowing from his body had stained the soul stone tickets red.

"I originally had 17,000 soul stones. Now, with 6,000 more, I have a total of 23,000. If I capture Lang Liang and the murderer, I will get another 6,000 soul stones."

"Then, I will be one step closer to 30,000 soul stones."

Zheng Shi Yi silently calculated the number of soul stones. As long as he gathered 30,000 soul stones, he could cultivate that unnamed technique.

Wu Dong excitedly ran to Zheng Shi Yi, bumping chests with him and praised, "Well done!"

"You could have told me earlier that you could kill someone so easily! You made me worry for nothing!"

Zheng Shi Yi gave him a helpless look and sighed, "I didn't expect that Luo Tu, who was roaring like a fierce dragon before the battle, would fight like an ant..."

Zheng Shi Yi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Yu Yan, who was nearby, to hear clearly.

Slap! Yu Yan felt that he had been slapped in public again... and by the same person.

As the two walked forward, passing by Yu Yan, Zheng Shi Yi felt the naked killing intent from him and stopped, smiling and thanking Yu Yan, "Thank you for the 6,000 soul stones."

"Thank you for supporting my brother," Wu Dong chimed in.

At this moment, Zheng Shi Yi had a complete change of heart. No matter how much he retreated, Yu Yan would still confront him. Why should he retreat? If a martial artist lives in frustration and cannot be free and easy, what's the point of practicing martial arts? Climbing to the peak?

When it's time to mock... just mock!

Yu Yan was still savoring the silent slap just now, thinking about how to regain his face from Zheng Shi Yi, when he was slapped again by a mocking remark.

Only at this moment did Yu Yan realize... he had just lost... 6,000 soul stones! Almost all his wealth was lost in that bet!

He can't let him go! Yu Yan subconsciously shouted at Zheng Shi Yi, "Wait!"

"What's up?" Zheng Shi Yi stopped, looking at Yu Yan with a mocking gaze.

Yu Yan regretted it. If he had pretended not to see him just now, wouldn't it have been better? Luo Yi's death was nothing, but... losing 6,000 soul stones... was ridiculous! That was the wealth he had saved to break through to the Spirit Spring Realm!

"There are some things in this world that you shouldn't eat. Eating them can be fatal." Yu Yan's voice carried a threat, "There are also some things you shouldn't take lightly. Taking them... can also be fatal. Don't you think... those 6,000 soul stone tickets are very hot? One wrong move, and they could burn you to death..."

Zheng Shi Yi looked down at the blood-stained soul stone tickets in his hand. With Yu Wei, a giant, backing Yu Yan... these 6,000 soul stone tickets were indeed very hot, and one wrong move could really burn him to death.

Give them back? What a joke! Zheng Shi Yi folded the soul stone tickets into a square and put them in his pocket. Even if he gave them back, the matter wouldn't end there! And it would leave him with a reputation for weakness, inviting others to bully him. Besides... breaking through to the Spirit Spring Realm really required a lot of soul stones.
