"It’s no use... Unless an Immortal cos to save , it’s just a waste of an elixir. Keep it for yourself... Elixirs are precious right now..."
"I didn’t want to live anyway. Death is better."
Lu Mingyuan asked, confused, "Third Brother, what are you saying? Being alive is definitely better than being dead."
Lu Guangyao shook his head, his gaze firm. "I, Lu Guangyao... should have died on the battlefield! Not lived on in sha... From the day I left the barracks... from the mont I watched my brothers, my soldiers, being beheaded... I’ve been drowning in unbearable self-reproach. If my master hadn’t stopped , I would have taken my own life long ago."
Lu Mingyuan completely understood how he felt.
Ever since King Chu seized the throne, he had kept Lu Guangyao under house arrest. Confined to his manor, never taking a step outside, Lu Guangyao had been unable to escape his guilt.
In other words, this Heart Demon had already brought his Martial Dao to a standstill.
Xun Yu had destroyed his will to pursue the martial path.
Rather than live every day in shadow, it was better to find release sooner.
’Perhaps that’s what Third Brother is thinking right now.’
Sigh.
Lu Mingyuan closed his eyes, sighed, and looked up at the sky.
An incredibly complex expression appeared on his face.
"Also, Sixth Brother, this... is no ordinary Demon King. He’s very strong. You can’t... let your guard down..." Lu Guangyao reminded him weakly.
"BANG!"
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Mingyuan heard the sound of Zhao Gongming being sent flying behind him. He gently laid down Lu Guangyao’s body, then slowly rose to his full, ramrod-straight height.
’This Demon King is no ordinary Eighth Realm opponent. If I only rely on simple manipulation, I won’t be able to crush him.’
"Where did this Human Race brat co from? Courting death!"
The Poison Scorpion Demon King sneered. After sending Zhao Gongming flying, its long, saber-like scorpion tail whipped over, aiming for the two weak and injured figures here, intending to slice Lu Mingyuan in two.
But in the next second,
he wasn’t smiling anymore.
The human man before him extended a hand. An invisible force erged from his body, stopping the saber-like tail from advancing another inch.
A long saber ford from Martial Arts Gang Qi appeared in Lu Mingyuan’s hand.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
The Acupoints, once blocked like a dam holding back a flood, now gushed with a massive, sun-like torrent of Martial Dao Primordial Qi!
In an instant, an astonishing power erupted from Lu Mingyuan’s body. His Acupoints shone like the stars of the Big Dipper, radiating brilliant light. His vitality was like a dragon, his presence as vast and mighty as the great sun.
All of this power poured into the long saber in his hand.
"SWOOSH!"
The Poison Scorpion Demon King only saw a flash of Thunder pass by.
"CLANG!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Mingyuan appeared above its head. With an indifferent expression, he brought his saber down as he landed.
"GUSH!"
A torrent of green Demon Blood sprayed out!
With a single slash, he had severed the Poison Scorpion Demon King’s tail!
"Damn you, human! My tail!"
The creature howled in agony.
The terrifying hum of the blade beca a requiem. The massive body was cleanly sliced apart by Saber Qi; every arm and every leg was severed.
Lying on the ground with his last breath, Lu Guangyao saw this and was finally at peace. He said in a faint voice, "So the one hiding the deepest... was you, kid. And to think I used to look down on you..."
After saying this, he closed his eyes forever.
[The Third Prince, Lu Guangyao, was trapped by the Demon Race. He fought to the last mont and died of exhaustion. His Dragon Fortune has dissipated.]
[Emperor Orange Fate Grid - Trapped Dragon in the Abyss, Refinent Level increased to 68%]
"Third Brother, farewell."
Finally, Lu Mingyuan beheaded the Poison Scorpion Demon King with a single slash and took a deep breath.
The mont the Third Prince fell,
Lu Mingyuan discovered that, in the unseen workings of fate, the Martial Dao Destiny he had been lacking now seed sufficient.
Before, it was because the various Princes had divided the Dragon Fortune amongst themselves that he had faced a bottleneck at the Ninth Realm.
Now that Lu Guangyao was dead, he felt confident he could break through to the Ninth Realm, the Dragon Gate.
