Asura Continent

Lu Tao's face darkened. He never thought that Lu Yang would be so crazy that he would not care about his own life in order to kill him. However, the sharp sword in his hand had already been swung out, it was simply impossible to pull it back at this time. Even if he were to forcefully pull it back, he still wouldn't be able to stop Lu Yang's saber attack. Since that was the case, Lu Tao might as well not retract his sword. He wanted to kill Lu Yang before he killed him.

Even after killing Lu Yang, that saber would still land, and Lu Tao had the confidence to block it.

So, such a scene happened. The longsword flew straight towards Lu Yang's chest. Lu Yang did not dodge. The sword stabbed straight into his body, and blood flowed. At the same time, Lu Yang's knife also landed on Lu Tao's neck, and at the moment of the slash, a light yellow talisman appeared in Lu Tao's left hand.

That's right, it was a talisman. This was Lu Tao's trump card.

This rune looked similar to the one Han Ruoxue had, but the runes engraved on it were different. It was a shield. When the long blade landed, Lu Tao didn't hesitate to crush the talisman. The talisman ignited, and an enormous energy was released from the talisman, instantly enveloping his body.

Following which, a translucent shield appeared on Lu Tao's neck out of thin air. The shield was formed from a bizarre energy. Even though it was only the size of a palm, the defensive ability behind it was unimaginably strong. The long blade landed on the defensive shield, and a muffled bang sounded out.

A powerful rebound was released from the shield and the blade was immediately knocked flying.

Lu Tao inwardly let out a sigh of relief. Back then, when he had obtained this rune, although he knew the usage of it, he wasn't sure if it would be as useful as he wanted it to be. Right now, seeing the chance to use the longblade, killing intent flashed across Lu Tao's eyes. The longsword quickly twisted, and a large amount of flesh and blood was pulled out from Lu Yang's body.

Blood splattered everywhere. Lu Tao swung his sword once more, but the position of his attack remained the same. It was obvious that he wanted to pierce through Lu Yang's body with his sword.

Lu Yang's body trembled. As blood flowed out, he could even feel the loss of his lifespan. Under the intense pain, Lu Yang did not make a sound. He gritted his teeth, not even realizing that his tongue had been bitten through. Traces of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Lu Yang did not believe that the defensive power of that shield would continue to exist. He frantically brandished his saber and slashed again.

Slash after slash. In that instant, even Lu Yang did not know how many times he had slashed. In the end, all that was left was a mechanical action.

Cracks appeared on the shield and it looked like it was about to fall apart. Lu Tao's expression changed as he quickly channeled his power to maintain the energy inside the shield. At the same time, Lu Tao quickly waved his sword again and again. But no matter how many times he slashed, Lu Yang did not fall. He knew he couldn't go on like this. Suddenly, an idea struck him and he swung his sword towards Lu Yang, wanting to blow him away.

However, never in his wildest dreams would Lu Tao have thought that before he had even struck out with that sword, Lu Yang would already be right next to him. Following that, Lu Tao saw Lu Yang raise his left hand and throw a punch towards his shoulder. He could only watch helplessly, but was unable to dodge.

That fist was so powerful that it landed on Lu Tao's shoulder. Under the immense force, Lu Tao was sent flying.

After landing on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Shocked, Lu Tao cried out involuntarily, "Impossible! Why do you still have zhenqi in your body..." He really couldn't understand. After fighting for so long, Lu Yang's cultivation was already lower than his, and he didn't have much true energy left in his body. How could Lu Yang still use his full strength?

Lu Yang's entire body was covered in blood, as if he had turned into a bloody person. His body was swaying, as if he could fall down at any time.

Lu Tao was already severely injured, but his injuries weren't serious. He stood up and continued to attack Lu Yang.

Facing the oncoming sword shadows, Lu Yang was already unable to defend himself. If these sword shadows landed on his body, they would definitely cut him into pieces. Lu Yang glanced at Lu Tao. Although Lu Tao wasn't seriously injured, but under that punch, he had forcefully injected a trace of killing intent into Lu Tao's body. Although there was temporarily no effect, Lu Tao's meridians would soon be broken.

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and quickly retreated. Under Lu Tao's surprised gaze, he immediately jumped off the cliff.

"If I don't die, there will come a day when I will take your life myself …"

Lu Yang's voice echoed in the air. His figure arced through the air and landed on the precipice, disappearing without a trace.

"He really jumped..." Lu Tao was surprised. The words he said just now were just a ridicule to Lu Yang. He never thought that Lu Yang was really not afraid of death and actually dared to jump into the cliff.

Lu Tao walked to the edge of the cliff and examined the surroundings carefully. After confirming that there weren't any towering trees around the cliff, it was impossible for Lu Yang to catch hold of them and survive. A cold smile appeared on his face. Lu Yang's death was equivalent to solving the biggest problem in his heart. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now that it had come true, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as Lu Tao was about to put away his sword and leave, he saw a person standing thirty meters away.

Lu Tao's heart tightened as he hurriedly raised his head to look. When he clearly saw the other party's face, he lost his voice and said, "You …"

The figure that suddenly appeared was Ye Ruyan. After she dealt with Sun Fei and the others, she rushed over with the fastest speed possible. However, she was still a step too late. When she arrived at the cliff face, she just so happened to see the scene of Lu Yang falling. In that moment, she didn't know what she was feeling.

Hot tears were left in her eyes. Ye Ruyan did not know why she was crying, but she really wanted to avenge Lu Yang.

"You killed him?" Ye Ruyan stared at Lu Tao and said word by word. Her eyes were filled with endless killing intent. She wanted to kill Lu Tao right now.

Lu Tao jumped in fright. Only now did he remember that the relationship between Ye Ruyan and Lu Yang was extremely complicated. He said, "Miss Ye, the grudge between me and Lu Yang doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!"

"Yes, it used to be none of my business, but now it is." Ye Ruyan coldly looked at Lu Tao. Step by step, she walked forward. With every step, the aura she exuded became stronger.

Lu Tao subconsciously retreated. After just taking a few steps, he remembered that he was at a cliff which was a hundred thousand feet behind him, he hurriedly stopped and said: "Miss Ye, I know your relationship with Lu Yang is average, but I also know that you two did not have that kind of relationship. He is not your man yet, but did you think it was worth it for you to offend our Lu Family for Lu Yang?"

If it wasn't for the fact that there were no family factors, Ye Ruyan could have risked everything to avenge Lu Yang. But the Lu family was different from other families, even in the Western Chu Nation, it could still be ranked. In the future, he would inherit the title of the Lu Clan. If he were to kill Lu Tao now, it would be equivalent to offending the Lu Clan. In the future, the two great clans would inevitably have a fierce battle.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Ye Ruyan's footsteps stopped as she pondered over the formidable relationship between them.

Lu Tao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Ye Ruyan would ignore everything and continue, "Miss Ye, you are a smart person. You heard what Lu Yang said before he jumped onto the cliff. To tell you the truth, he's a member of the Lu family. Because he killed his own mother, he was chased down.

Ye Ruyan was silent. She didn't think that Lu Yang was such a person, but she couldn't find any reason to refute.

Lu Tao had already thought of what to say, and said: "Exactly so. You're even less worthy to fight for someone like him. I know that I'm no match for you, so you can kill me easily. Once I die, the Lu and Ye Families will definitely form a feud. You don't want your entire family to be implicated over such a small matter, right? "

Ye Ruyan regarded the family very importantly, these words played a crucial role. She sighed and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, you know what will happen." After she finished speaking, she took a deep look at the nearby cliff and then with a flash, disappeared into the dark night.

The clothes on Lu Tao's back were already moving up. After seeing Ye Ruyan leave, he took a few deep breaths before walking into the forest.

Arriving at the place where Sun Fei and the rest were battling. Seeing more than ten corpses lying on the ground in a mess, Lu Tao's expression changed drastically. He shouted out involuntarily, "Sun Fei, Wang He..." He did not care about the deaths of his other men, but Sun Fei and Wang He had followed him for so many years, so it could be said that they were his trusted aides.

"Young master, I'm here..." Amongst the crowd, Sun Fei's weak voice was heard.

Lu Tao's face lit up and he quickly ran over, "Sun Fei, are you alright? What about Wang He? "

"It's nothing. Before I was knocked out, I saw that Wang He was knocked out. She didn't kill us." Sun Fei's face was pale and his injuries were extremely severe. If it wasn't for Ye Ruyan showing mercy, he would have already been turned into a corpse.

Lu Tao looked around and quickly noticed Wang He.

Although Wang He was lying on the ground, he could still hear the sound of breathing. After he was woken up by the shout, he angrily said, "This woman is too cruel. She has killed so many of my people, I must kill him …"

"That's right!" Indeed, we should kill him. " Lu Tao gritted his teeth.

"No, young master, you better not do it." Sun Fei waved his hand, "She didn't kill us because she didn't want to blow up the matter. If we kill her, we will have to mobilize the experts from the Lu family. What does Master say?" If he were to investigate, he will definitely be able to investigate Lu Yang's situation. If the Lord gets angry, we will all be screwed. "

Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat. The person he was most afraid of was Lu Zhentian. When Lu Yang left the Lu family and Su Rui died, although Lu Zhentian didn't say anything, he could feel the killing intent emanating from his father. Lu Tao understood that his father cared a lot about Lu Yang. If he knew that he had killed Lu Yang, he would definitely cripple his position as the successor.

All of these thoughts flashed through Lu Tao's mind. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Buried the corpse, let's go..."

Ye Ruyan's figure flashed in the forest, and not long after she left, she heard a figure rapidly approaching from not too far away, accompanied by a wave of depressed voices, "Isn't the defense in the Spring Life City too tight!? It took them so long to get out. I wonder how Lu Yang is doing, I hope he can kill that bastard … "

Just as he was speaking up to here, he suddenly stopped. That figure suddenly leaped up and landed on the branch of an ancient tree that was far away and shouted sternly, "Who is it? "Come out..."
