193: Chapter 194 Capture!

Everyone was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with similar strength.

However, it was difficult to deal with a Cultivator of the same stage so easily without using trump cards.

Moreover, even if trump cards were used, the opponent would have to cooperate for it to be so seamless.

But this person, with just a casual mystic light, rendered a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who possessed powerful Divine Sense, immobile.

This sent a chill down their spines and filled them with immense dread.

They wondered if they would have much chance of survival if they were to face this person.

Thinking of this, they involuntarily slowed their pursuit, allowing Lu Ming to quickly pass them.

Although they felt a bit unwilling, to snatch prey targeted by a powerful figure, one had to consider if they had the Lifespan to do so.

Lu Ming glanced at them without speaking.

A wise man submits to circumstances; since the other party was so sensible, it saved him from having to act again!

After all, they were also resources, and killing each one would be a waste.

At this moment, Chu Yunxiao, who was fleeing in front, was in increasingly worse condition, his speed dropping again and again.

Seeing a rainbow light rapidly approaching from behind, and the distance between them shrinking, Chu Yunxiao's sense of urgency reached its peak.

Hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then it became firm.

The backlash from his Cultivation Technique this time was too severe; his entire body was in intense pain, weak and powerless, while his strength was also rapidly declining.

Chu Yunxiao even felt that he couldn't maintain his normal strength, and his cultivation had probably fallen below Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

But he still didn't want to die here!

Despite using the Asura Dharma Body for such a long time, both his Foundation and Lifespan were severely damaged.

It was even highly likely that his cultivation would be difficult to advance further in the future!

But at this moment, he had no choice!

Chu Yunxiao once again circulated his Cultivation Technique, and his Qi and blood strength surged.

He desperately squeezed his Lifespan to provide energy for the Asura Dharma Body.

Chu Yunxiao's already massive body expanded again, his muscles bulging as if Dragons were coiled around him.

His back, covered in ancient runes, had every muscle containing explosive power.

His weakening aura surged again, and a fierce, malevolent Qi surrounded his body, causing the air to distort.

Boom!

He took a step, and his speed instantly skyrocketed, leaving only expanding ripples behind him.

"Steroid warrior!!"

Lu Ming's gaze fell on Chu Yunxiao, observing his changes.

Somehow, a strange thought popped into his head.

However, this person still had great use; if the Cultivation Technique Legacy wasn't in his Storage Pouch, then it could only be dug out of his head.

If he wasn't afraid of accidentally killing Chu Yunxiao, he wouldn't be so hesitant.

However, the opponent was already at the end of his rope, so there was no worry of him escaping.

But he still had to prevent the opponent from fighting like a cornered beast in desperation, or even destroying the Legacy in a fit of rage!

So, it was better to finish the fight quickly and secure him instantly!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming fully activated 'Jinghong' while the Yin Sha Secret Thunder circulated around his body, beginning to charge.

Tear!

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, like a lightning net, enveloping Chu Yunxiao.

"Damn it!"

Chu Yunxiao's face was extremely grim as he felt the power emanating from the lightning net.

He could clearly sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from it were only at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment level.

If it were in normal times, during his peak, this little trick would pose no threat to him at all.

But in his current state, he was probably in danger.

His heart was heavy, but Chu Yunxiao did not give up his will to survive.

He reluctantly managed to split a sliver of his mind, controlling his Spiritual Artifact, the Blood Blade, to slash at the lightning net.

However, he was powerless to use the Bone Skeleton Staff.

In his current state of depleted spiritual energy and chaotic Divine Sense, he could no longer support activating two Spiritual Artifacts simultaneously.

At this moment, the Blood Blade transformed into a crimson saber light, striking the lightning net.

Blood and lightning intertwined, emitting crackling and sizzling sounds.

However, a scene of equal strength did not appear; the Blood Blade was quickly submerged by countless bolts of lightning.

When it reappeared, the Blood Blade's spiritual light was dim, its surface scorched black, and then it fell powerlessly.

"I...am I...this weak?"

Looking at this scene, Chu Yunxiao's face was filled with disbelief, and despair flickered in his eyes.

He had pushed the Asura Dharma Body to its limit, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow from a Cultivator of the same stage.

Just as he was momentarily stunned, a mystic light suddenly struck, violently intruding into Chu Yunxiao's Divine Sense.

At the same time, the lightning net emitted endless lightning, quickly covering him.

The pitiful Bone Skeleton Staff, hastily activated, let out a whimper before the black mist could even condense, then collapsed with a crash.

And Chu Yunxiao himself was in a soul-shaking state, utterly defenseless as he was wrapped and entangled by the lightning net, instantly tied up like a dumpling.

Crackling!

His body, enveloped by the lightning net, was covered in net-like scorch marks, and the splashing blood instantly vaporized.

A charred smell permeated the area.

Lu Ming appeared in front of him, raised his hand, and collected the fallen Bone Puppet Staff and Blood Blade into his Storage Pouch.

These were two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, worth a considerable sum.

Although Spirit Stones were just a number to him now, he had no reason to let go of the benefits he had obtained.

After doing all this, he used his spiritual energy to seal Chu Yunxiao's Dantian and Qi Sea.

Then, he glanced at the few people cautiously observing from behind, not daring to approach.

Without further ado, Jinghong reappeared, and Lu Ming transformed into a rainbow light, disappearing from sight.

A moment after he left, the few people who had been watching from a distance dared to approach.

"Chu Yunxiao was captured just like that?"

"Sigh, Chu Yunxiao is the Grand Elder of the Chu family. His wealth is unimaginable; perhaps a portion of the Chu family's resources is on him. Did we just give up like that?"

"Otherwise, what do you want? With that person's combat power, if you want to die, go yourself!"

"But this matter isn't over. The Qingxuan Sect lost two Foundation Establishment Cultivators; they won't let it go so easily."

"That was done by Chu Yunxiao. What does that have to do with that person?"

"Who knows?"

"Are you saying..."

The few people looked at each other, then chuckled.

That's right, Chu Yunxiao was captured alive. Besides the few of them present, who else knew about this?

When Pavilion Master Xu Qing of the Xuanqing Sect escaped, he didn't see this scene.

So, wouldn't they be able to say whatever they wanted?

They had already concocted a storyline.

Chu Yunxiao used Demonic Path forbidden techniques to ambush and cruelly kill Qingxuan Sect Cultivators.

And Fellow Daoist Pavilion Master Xu Qing was also no match for Chu Yunxiao, choosing a strategic retreat.

As for them, they saw injustice on the road and drew their blades to help, righteously attacking Chu Yunxiao.

They were on the verge of killing him to avenge the fallen Fellow Daoists of the Qingxuan Sect.

But at a critical moment, Chu Yunxiao was rescued by a one-armed Daoist.

This story, half-true and half-false, portrayed them as enthusiastic Cultivators.

At the same time, it preserved the Qingxuan Sect's reputation as much as possible.
