Chapter 453: Escape

On the battlefield, Zhou Luo gripped the Cheng Sky Sword. His every move carried the demeanor of a grandmaster. His mastery of swordplay seemed effortlessly natural, each strike unleashing unimaginable power.

As a fellow swordsman, Lü Wei felt immense pressure.

How is this young man’s control over sword techniques so terrifying?

A flicker of surprise crossed his mind, though outwardly he remained composed, calmly engaging him in combat.

Boom—

Another savage collision erupted. Relying on the immense power of the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, Zhou Luo continuously stirred vast swathes of sword light. His broad, sweeping attacks were fierce and savage, as though he wanted to pour all his fury onto his opponent.

This was the first time he had ever felt such profound rage.

Moreover, during the fight, he gradually detected the thick Malevolent Aura enveloping the other man.

Clearly, his opponent was a Demon Cultivator.

Had he not arrived in time, Yao Wu and her son would likely have already been sacrificed by now, their bodies utterly destroyed.

How could Zhou Luo not be incensed?

The Nine Heavens Sword Technique coalesced the power of the heavens. When activated, the erupting sword momentum surged like a tidal wave, radiating an aura of absolute supremacy.

Under such an imposing presence, Lü Wei couldn’t help but be moved. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a formidable adversary.

With this thought, his inner magical power erupted. A terrifying Malevolent Aura radiated from his body. Intense, demonic light, under his command, exuded a bewitching, dreadful aura.

Abandoning his sword, his lips moved slightly as he raised his hands. Terrifying demonic light gathered above his head, transforming into a disc of blood-red moon.

The colossal Blood Moon, now monstrously fierce, plunged the surroundings into an icy gloom. Under Lü Wei’s control, the massive Blood Moon crashed down towards his opponent with overwhelming force, seemingly intent on total suppression.

Zhou Luo’s eyebrows lifted slightly. This Demon Cultivator’s strength was indeed terrifying, especially his ability to manipulate energies capable of altering the very momentum of heaven and earth.

He retreated several paces, not out of fear, but to gather his own strength.

He sheathed the Cheng Sky Sword. His aura surged abruptly, magical power swirling around him, condensing into a scorching radiance.

Between his palms, wind and clouds billowed, torrents of magical power roared within them. The howling wind was incessant, faint dragon roars seemingly echoing within.

Evolving Dragon Cloud Palm.

Zhou Luo recited the divine technique incantation. His whole body blazed with light. His hands were enveloped in wind and clouds as immense power manifested.

A screaming tempest, churning white clouds, and a clear, resonant dragon roar exploded forth. Zhou Luo thrust out a palm, transforming it into a colossal white dragon that charged forward.

Whoosh—

The white dragon burst forth, whipping up sand and stones. Surrounding trees snapped as the ground split open in a vast fissure, as though slashed by a blade.

Boom—

The white dragon collided head-on with the Blood Moon. The terrifying force’s shockwave instantly obliterated their surroundings. Countless trees disintegrated. The earth itself was ripped up a layer, exposing bare soil.

Zhou Luo leaped into the air, radiating an aura of unparalleled power as he ascended. His skin gleamed with crystalline light. He struck out with another palm, unleashing a fierce gale aimed directly at Lü Wei’s head.

A grimace twisted Lü Wei’s face as he prepared to meet the attack head-on.

Suddenly, the other party had, at some unknown moment, summoned a barrage of Second Level Talismans. Each talisman pulsed with astonishing power.

Multiple layered attacks descended all at once.

Lü Wei’s expression changed, demonic light flared from his body; he wanted to confront Zhou Luo relying on his formidable body.

At the same time, he did not forget to summon several talismans to resist.

Boom boom boom——

The two sides clashed fiercely once more. Zhou Luo crushed everything in his path, defeating the power of one talisman after another, like an eagle diving down. Combined with the power of his formidable body, he suddenly struck Lü Wei’s right shoulder.

Bang——

After the right palm enveloped in immense power fell, it aroused a terrifying force, instantly shattering Lü Wei’s protective demonic light, with that palm bringing boundless power.

Lü Wei only felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder. His body, which should have been protected by the demonic light, was like tofu; the bones inside were easily shattered, and his entire right arm was instantly crippled.

Even so, Zhou Luo had not stopped. He raised his left hand, and the Cheng Sky Sword appeared once more.

This time, holding the sword in his left hand, he swung it, initiating the Nine Heavens Sword Technique.

The vast sword intent enveloped downwards, completely trapping him.

"Die."

Zhou Luo’s voice was bone-chilling, like the whisper of a demonic god from the abyss, accompanied by the blinding sword light falling with an unimaginably imposing force.

Lü Wei’s expression changed greatly; watching the ever-changing sword light, he could only resist frantically.

Boom boom boom——

Endless sword light fell; Lü Wei was sent flying backward, numerous sword scars appearing on his body, bleeding profusely, in a miserable state.

His face was pale; a pair of crimson eyes fixed intently on Zhou Luo in mid-air; he was about to unleash the power of the demons.

Whoosh——

At that moment, several beams of light rushed towards here; it was Ye Qian and the others.

Seeing more people rushing over, Lü Wei’s expression flickered; he immediately turned and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, fleeing in panic towards another place.

Zhou Luo’s eyes filled with killing intent; he immediately chased after him.

The two were chasing each other across the wilderness at an extremely high speed.

Along the way, Lü Wei took a spirit pill and gradually concealed his demonic aura, wanting to disguise himself again.

Zhou Luo furrowed his brows slightly. His opponent was also at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, the same realm as himself, and not as easy to kill as imagined.

Moreover, Lü Wei probably still had hidden cards not used; it was only that when he saw Ye Qian and her party arrive that he wanted to flee.

He himself also had secret weapons, but was it really worth it for a Demon Cultivator?

Furthermore, Yao Wu and her son were both safe and sound.

With this thought, after chasing for dozens of li, he decisively chose to give up.

"Someday if I meet you again, I will surely kill you!"

He shouted loudly, carrying boundless power.

Lü Wei clenched his teeth; not daring to stop to retort, he could only flee in panic.

After Lü Wei was far away, Zhou Luo returned to the mountain range.

In the mountain forest, Ye Qian had already met with Yao Wu and her son.

Although the two women had never met face to face, they had communicated by letters for many years; both knew of each other’s existence.

Seeing Yao Wu and her son in danger now, Ye Qian immediately stepped forward to treat their injuries.

As a disciple of the Biquan True Sect with unique talent in healing, with her help, Yao Wu’s injuries were temporarily stabilized.

After a short while, Zhou Luo also arrived at the scene.

"What happened?" he inquired.

Yao Wu did not speak; Zhou Changguang voluntarily looked at his father and explained clearly, "Father, it’s like this…"

Although Zhou Changguang had never met Zhou Luo, he spent all day accompanying his mother, basically growing up hearing stories about his father.

In his mother’s words, his father was a person of prudent actions, intelligent in character, all-around capable, a perfect man.

This also sowed a seed of curiosity in Zhou Changguang’s heart.

Now meeting his father for the first time, his heart was filled with excitement, but to give his father a good impression, he tried his best to appear calm and steady.

Zhou Luo listened to this son’s words and nodded slightly.

Earlier, before arriving, he had noticed that this son remained calm even in the face of death threats, able to stay composed with an extraordinary mind.

Now seeing him, Zhou Luo was indeed very satisfied.

"Hmm, let’s leave first."

After listening, Zhou Luo had a general understanding and planned to take this chance to return to the Qingyuan Domain.

Thus, the group left the mountain forest.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after disguising himself again, Lü Wei immediately found other comrades of the Ice Snow Sect.

The leading disciple of the Ice Snow Sect saw Lü Wei in this state and was immediately shocked.

"Junior brother, what happened?"
