Chapter 144 Win!
In the fierce confrontation, Yun Zhongzi gradually felt overwhelmed.
He was puzzled as to why he, a cultivator in the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, was so evenly matched with Luo Shu, an opponent in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to retreat after a brief confrontation, he quickly retracted the Demon-Snatching Sword, took a deep breath, and prepared to use more powerful means.
Yun Zhongzi closed his eyes and concentrated, his spiritual energy surging in his body like a torrent.
From the depths of his soul, a dazzling light shone out.
Then, a towering spiritual treasure with blazing flames burning all over it - the Heavenly Fire Pillar, slowly appeared in his hand.
This pillar of divine fire is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with infinite power.
Yun Zhongzi was well aware of its power, and he was using it at this moment to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
He tightly grasped the Heavenly Fire Pillar, with a determined look in his eyes, and flew towards Luo Shu suddenly.
Seeing this, Luo Shu's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He smiled lightly and thought to himself:
"That's it? Even if I change to another spiritual treasure, the outcome will still be the same. After all, the gap between us cannot be made up by spiritual treasures."
Although Luo Shu spoke in a light-hearted manner, he did not dare to slack off at all with his hands.
He tightly grasped the Flying Golden Sword, and the sword body flickered with golden light, as if it had condensed endless power.
His figure flashed and turned into a golden lightning, heading towards Yun Zhongzi.
The figures of the two people crossed each other in the air, and the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar and the Flying Golden Sword collided again.
This collision was more intense than any previous one.
The flames burning on the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar and the golden light on the Feijin Sword intertwined and collided with each other, making a deafening roar.
The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this force, forming a huge vortex.
In the center of the vortex, the figures of the two people were looming, as if they were swallowed by this force.
However, under the impact of this force, Luo Shu seemed unusually calm.
With a flash of his body, he easily avoided the attack of the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar.
At the same time, the Flying Golden Sword in his hand turned into a sharp sword energy, piercing straight towards Yun Zhongzi's vital points.
Yun Zhongzi was shocked when he saw this.
He didn't expect that Luo Shu could avoid his attack so easily and even counterattack.
He quickly waved the Heavenly Fire Pillar to resist, but it was too late.
"boom--!!!"
With a loud bang, the sword energy of the Feijin Sword hit the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar hard.
Although the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar was extremely strong, it still shook slightly under this blow.
At the moment when the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar and the Flying Golden Sword collided violently, an irresistible force surged like a tide and rushed straight towards Yun Zhongzi.
He only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was hit head-on by a huge mountain, and his internal organs were shaking violently under the impact of this force.
"puff--!!!"
Accompanied by a dull thud, Yun Zhongzi spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
His figure drew a long arc in the air and finally fell heavily to the ground in the distance.
The ground was covered with dust in an instant, as if there had been a small explosion.
Yun Zhongzi struggled to get up, but the severe pain in his body and the exhaustion of his spiritual power made it impossible for him to do so.
He could only lie on the ground, breathing heavily, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Shu in the distance, only to see that he was still standing there, calm and composed, as if nothing had happened just now.
The Feijin Sword was still trembling slightly in his hand, making a crisp sword sound, as if mocking Yun Zhongzi's defeat.
"This...how is this possible..."
Yun Zhongzi muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief.
He clearly possessed the cultivation base of a late Daluo Golden Immortal, but he was still unable to defeat Luo Shu, who was only at the early Daluo Golden Immortal level. He could not accept this fact.
At this moment, his heart was full of doubts and confusion.
Just as Yun Zhongzi fell into deep thought, Luo Shu slowly approached.
Luo Shu's eyes were calm and deep, as if he could see through Yun Zhongzi's inner struggle and doubts.
"Yun Zhongzi, you're defeated!"
Luo Shu said calmly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.
When Yun Zhongzi heard Luo Shu's calm and firm words, he felt as if a cold wind was blowing through his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He knew very well that he had indeed been defeated, and that he had been defeated completely without any chance of fighting back.
However, he was not discouraged by this. Instead, an indomitable fighting spirit surged up from the bottom of his heart.
He quickly calmed himself down, flipped his hand slightly, and a pill glowing with a faint light appeared in his palm.
This pill exudes a refreshing fragrance, as if it can instantly heal his physical and mental fatigue and pain.
Without much hesitation, Yun Zhongzi swallowed the pill.
The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that quickly spread throughout his body.
He felt that his spiritual power was gradually recovering and the pain in his body was gradually subsiding.
With the help of the elixir, Yun Zhongzi stood up with difficulty.
He dusted himself off and straightened his clothes to make himself look more neat and dignified.
Although he was defeated by Luo Shu, he still maintained the dignity and demeanor of a Daluo Jinxian.
Then, he looked at Luo Shu, his eyes full of admiration and respect.
Yun Zhongzi took a deep breath and spoke slowly, with a hint of firmness and calmness in his voice:
"I am defeated. My fellow Daoist's strength is unfathomable. I am ashamed of myself."
His voice echoed in the empty space, revealing an unspeakable sadness and helplessness.
When Luo Shu heard Yun Zhongzi's frank words, his face remained calm, as if this victory had been expected for him.
He nodded slightly and said softly:
"Your strength is indeed extraordinary. The fact that you can fight me to this point is enough to prove your strength."
"It's just that you happened to meet me today and were defeated by me. It's not your fault. I can only say... my strength is indeed slightly better than yours."
There is a hint of humility in Luo Shu's words, but more of it is confidence and composure.
Although his words were simple, they were like a spring breeze, making people feel warm without losing their majesty.
Yun Zhongzi was slightly stunned when he heard this. After a brief pause, he asked in confusion:
"I do recognize your strength, but isn't your cultivation level the early stage of Daluo Jinxian? Why is it so much stronger than mine?"
Luo Shu smiled slightly, as if he had expected Yun Zhongzi to ask this question, and explained:
"Although cultivation is important, it is not the only determining factor. In addition to cultivation, there are many other factors that affect a cultivator's strength."
"For example, the mastery of Taoism, the use of magic weapons, the accumulation of combat experience, etc."
He paused and continued:
"Take me for example. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, the Taoism I practice is more profound than yours, so it is natural for me to win over you."
When Yun Zhongzi heard Luo Shu's plain yet meaningful words, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
He widened his eyes and frowned, as if he wanted to find a hint of a joke on Luo Shu's face, but in the end he only saw a gaze as calm as water.
Yun Zhongzi said with some reluctance and doubt in his voice:
"What are you talking about, fellow Daoist? The Daoism I practice is not as good as yours? What I practice is the Jade Purity Immortal Method, which was taught by a saint. How could it be worse than yours?"
Luo Shu looked at Yun Zhongzi's surprised and unwilling expression, smiled slightly, and said:
"It doesn't matter. You just need to remember not to spread the teachings of the Chan Sect without understanding them. Be careful not to mislead the disciples."
He paused for a moment, and without waiting for Yun Zhongzi to refute, he continued:
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you here anymore. I have things to do, so I'm leaving first!"
After saying this, Luo Shu smiled lightly, as if everything was under his control.
He waved his sleeves lightly, and a powerful spiritual power surged out of his body, quickly condensing in the air and turning into a dazzling stream of light.
The stream of light streaked across the sky like lightning, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it rushed towards the distance.
Yun Zhongzi was shocked when he saw this and hurried to chase after him.
He moved his body and wanted to fly into the air, but Luo Shu's speed was too fast, and he was hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye.
Yun Zhongzi only felt a strong airflow passing by his side, carrying Luo Shu's elegant figure, and disappeared into the misty distance.
He looked at the direction where Luo Shu disappeared and muttered to himself:
"You left so quickly, I didn't even have time to ask who he was."
Yun Zhongzi stayed there for a while, then finally sighed and left.
