I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 683 The Death of Zhong Liyu

[Have you guys noticed that guy surnamed Jin is incredibly lucky? Even though the process is tough, he always comes in first. The thing is, he always manages to escape...]

Last time, the clues in that box ended up directly in his hands. Everyone else had to pass a test of their inner demons before entering the secret room, but Jin Dazhu just went in through the secret passage and came out as if it were nothing. His luck is truly unbelievable.

Haha, I don't know why, but I have this strange feeling that following Jin Dazhu will allow me to leave the secret realm.

It's quite possible.

Looking at it this way, the people in the other secret realm seem really unfortunate. Not only were they assigned three double S-rank monsters, but those monsters have already started wreaking havoc.

The secret realm initially eliminated half of the cultivators, and now, looking at the remaining number, another half have perished. Hopefully, everyone can find a way to survive soon.

Stop talking, I just discovered that one of the monks in the Death Cave is my senior.

He was the only son in his family. Back then, his whole family lived on a garbage planet. When my senior was found to have spiritual roots, his whole family was overjoyed. Moreover, my senior lived up to expectations and gradually got into Xiling Academy and then joined the Blood Alliance through his own efforts. When I first entered university, he was a prominent figure in our school. He had perfect grades every year, and won school-level scholarships and various competition prizes. His whole family moved out of the garbage planet thanks to him.

Later, when I arrived at the Blood Alliance, I heard that his cultivation had also reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that he's dead, I don't know what to do. I'm sad but I can't cry. His family has lost him forever.

Sigh, my brother's daughter, my niece, was the pride of our whole family. After she was admitted to Lingqing Academy, she always brought longevity pills to the family, pills that could grant ordinary people long life. But just now, I watched her die right in front of me. My brother and sister-in-law have fainted from crying.

The path to immortality is fraught with hardship, and this one can be considered a natural disaster.

So many people...

"So many people..."

Are they all dead...?

Zhong Liyu's lips trembled as he looked at the number of people eliminated indicated on the talisman. He lowered his head, unsure if the talisman could teleport, but certain that his talisman could not teleport him out of the secret realm.

Zhong Liyu tore his talisman to shreds, and even when it was burned to ashes, it did not trigger the teleportation function.

But where have all those people gone?

Zhong Liyu dared not think too much about it; he had an erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) on his back.

Cuihua sensed Zhongli Yu's sorrow and silently spoke:

"People die. We died even more back then."

As soon as Cuihua finished speaking, she immediately realized that her attempt to comfort Zhong Liyu was somewhat forced and seemed to have only exacerbated Zhong Liyu's emotions.

"Are you talking about the Great Catastrophe?"

"Yes, Sister Yu is dead, Sister Yu's sword spirit Xiao Liuzi is dead too, as are Heng Yihang, Li Dong, and Master Mei..."

In the end, Cuihua's emotions were also affected.

She stopped talking after a while.

The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

For some reason, a tear rolled down onto the strings of the erhu.

Cuihua felt a chill run down her spine, not from the tears, but from the two S-rank monsters following behind her:

"Run! Run!"

Cuihua's voice was shrill.

As the two S-class monsters drew closer, Zhong Liyu's expression darkened, and his face turned grim.

I'm afraid I'll have to die here today.

Zhong Liyu had just acquired her newfound cultivation level. Putting everything else aside, she had been on edge these past few days, and it took her several S-grade crystal cores to finally advance to the Void Refinement stage.

But to be honest, a beginner in the early stages of the Void Refinement realm is facing an SS-level monster.

Useless...

As the hidden image approached Zhongli Yu silently, its tusks struck down, intending to pierce through the cultivator on the ground.

"Ha! So I'm not going to live today, am I?"

Zhong Liyu shouted.

He was already struggling to breathe under the oppressive force of the hidden image, and before he could move two steps, the hidden image's attack came.

Cuihua moved her body, wanting to rush forward and block the blow for Zhongliyu.

Cuihua knew perfectly well that she was, after all, a top-grade spiritual artifact, which was more than enough to block the attack of the Hidden Phenomenon.

It shattered, but Zhong Liyu can still live; otherwise, both of them would have perished here.

"Don't move, it hasn't come to that yet!"

"I have my measure."

"What sense do you have! Is your sense of propriety to go and die?"

Zhong Liyu, panting, dodged the hidden image: "I'm telling you, I can still do it."

Zhong Liyu forcefully suppressed the erhu playing behind her.

This monster is injured and will move slower than a normal double S-rank monster.

He barely managed to dodge it under extreme circumstances.

but……

We've run out of teleportation scrolls...

Cuihua still tried to fly away by force, but Zhong Liyu grabbed the erhu and hugged it to her chest:

"I told you, I'm still okay."

"What can you do? You're about to die, why don't you let me go instead? At least one of us can survive."

Cuihua was so anxious that the strings were humming.

Zhong Liyu turned his head away and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground. His mouth and lungs were filled with blood forced out by the oppressive force.

At this moment, Zhong Liyu spat out two mouthfuls of blood, which immediately surged up again. He lowered his head, his hair swaying slightly.

Zhong Liyu grinned, trying to smile, but her teeth were covered in red liquid.

"I'm sorry, but I can't leave either."

Zhong Liyu opened his empty mustard seed pouch, which was originally used to store teleportation talismans:

"You see, so..."

Before Zhong Liyu could finish speaking, the white ivory slashed down, pinning the person to the ground.

On the ivory, the green stain gradually turned red.

Zhong Liyu's eyes were red as he channeled his last wisp of spiritual energy:

"I won't survive..."

He couldn't utter a complete sentence; his body, pierced by ivory, resembled a broken piece of jade.

Cuihua cried out anxiously in the air. Zhongli Yu had formed a pact with it, and now a domineering spiritual energy was driving it to fly away into the distance.

Cuihua was extremely anxious when she saw a teleportation talisman being torn apart.

The spiritual energy that tore the teleportation talisman apart and the spiritual energy that caused it to leave originated from the same source:

"You're lying to me! There's also a teleportation talisman!"

Zhong Liyu coughed up blood:

"I said I could do it..."

You...you can take my place...

As he finished speaking, his hand, which was forming a hand seal, was stained with blood.

The ivory fell again.

The spiritual energy disappeared, and the spiritual energy supporting the teleportation talisman also disappeared.

Green flowers, hidden images, heaven and earth and all things, everything disappeared along with them.

They disappeared from Zhong Liyu's sight.
