105: Choice

Li Gui said in a deep voice, "I've already used all my strength, but I still can't break through its defense. Are we going to fail the first challenge of our Tianlun Medicine Garden trip?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "I've been paying attention to this Yao Beast's situation. Senior Brother Li, although you couldn't break its defense, you were very close."

"I have a powerful ultimate move. If we join forces, we can definitely break through its defense! Senior Brother Li Gui, use your strongest attack and target its head!"

Li Gui nodded heavily, "In that case, Junior Brother Lu, everything is up to you!"

"Azure Edge Slash!"

Li Gui raised the long saber in his hand and unleashed his strongest attack.

A cyan-green Qi blade condensed above his head, then fiercely slashed down towards the turtle-type Yao Beast's head.

Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, took out his sunset glow bow, drew the bow, and nocked an Azure Cloud Wings arrow purchased from the System Mall.

【Azure Cloud Wings: 100 exchange points, normal attack damage increased by 100 points.】

Immediately, he performed the String Twisting Archery Technique, twisting the bowstring ten times, a massive force brewing within the bowstring.

Only a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact like the sunset glow bow could withstand ten twists of the string; an ordinary bowstring would have snapped long ago.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen activated the "Heavenly Pivot Art," attaching the "Azure Dragon Slash" to this arrow, and shot it towards the turtle-type Yao Beast's right eye.

Lu Xingchen's arrow was incredibly powerful, yet it made no sound, because he simultaneously used the Twisted String Arrow and the Silent Arrow.

The turtle-type Yao Beast was fully focused on resisting Li Gui's strongest attack and didn't sense the true danger at all.

Li Gui's "Azure Edge Slash" created huge ripples on the Demonic Power shield, but it still couldn't break through.

Just as the turtle-type Yao Beast let out a sigh of relief, Lu Xingchen's Azure Cloud Wings arrow arrived.

The Azure Cloud Wings arrow directly shattered the Demonic Power shield, then fiercely shot into the turtle-type Yao Beast's right eye.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

But it wasn't over yet; the "Azure Dragon Slash" on the Azure Cloud Wings arrow was triggered, directly destroying the turtle-type Yao Beast's brain tissue.

It didn't even have time to let out a cry before falling into the lake.

【Congratulations to the host for killing a Fourth-Order Three-Star Yao Beast, gaining five thousand experience points and five thousand exchange points!】

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.

The other four stared intently at Lu Xingchen, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"This? It's over just like that?" Wang Dong said with a trembling voice.

Li Gui looked at Lu Xingchen with not only awe but also apprehension.

"Lu Xingchen, your methods are truly too strong! I originally thought that just injuring this turtle-type Yao Beast and scaring it away would be enough. But you, you just directly slaughtered it!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just lucky."

Li Gui's tone was full of surprise, "Brother Hao Yun (Brother Lucky), don't be modest. That was pure strength!"

Zheng Jinghui also said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, your strength is far above mine. I'm afraid I wouldn't last five moves against you. ninth on the earth ranking is a bit of an understatement for you."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about these useless things. Let's finish the Sect mission first!"

Seeing that Lu Xingchen wasn't excited at all, Li Gui was even more shocked.

This indicated that killing the turtle-type Yao Beast was not a big deal in his eyes, something he could do with ease.

Lu Xingchen used his Azure Cloud Wings, flew to the small island, picked the Nine-Qing Fruit, and put it into his Storage Ring.

Then he returned to the shore and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Li Gui, where do we go next?"

Li Gui said in a deep voice, "There are two choices. The other two Spirit Medicine needed by the Sect are sky azure grass and Cloud Rain Fruit, both marked on the map. The sky azure grass is on Crimson Flame Peak, and the Cloud Rain Fruit is on Donglai Peak, both quite far from us."

"But there's a problem. Last year, when our Cangxuan Sect Disciples came to the Tianlun Medicine Garden, they found sky azure grass on Crimson Flame Peak, but they ran into Disciples from the Dragon Seeking Gate. To snatch the sky azure grass, both sides fought."

"In the end, we lost, and all five Disciples were severely injured and forced to withdraw from the Tianlun Medicine Garden empty-handed."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

"That means the Dragon Seeking Gate Disciples also know about this place. If we go to Crimson Flame Peak, it's very likely we'll clash with the Dragon Seeking Gate Disciples."

Senior Brother Li Gui nodded gently, "Junior Brother Lu, you're quite quick-witted. The leader of the Dragon Seeking Gate, Wang Long, is a Nine-Star Martial Spirit, and he has already achieved Breakthrough for a long time. I am just an Eight-Star Martial Spirit who just achieved Breakthrough, so my chances of winning against him are not high."

"Therefore, my suggestion is to give up on the sky azure grass and look for the Cloud Rain Fruit first. The Tianlun Medicine Garden is very large, and there's definitely more than one sky azure grass. As long as we search quickly, there's still a chance to complete the mission."

Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed tightly.

"Senior Brother Li Gui, are you willing to just give up the sky azure grass like this? Moreover, we can only stay in the Tianlun Medicine Garden for five days. What if we can't find another sky azure grass? Wouldn't the mission fail?"

Li Gui smiled bitterly, "What else can we do? I can't beat Wang Long. I couldn't a year ago, and I still can't now."

Lu Xingchen said solemnly, "You can't beat Wang Long, but I can! Senior Brother Li Gui, I must complete five missions as quickly as possible, and I can't accept giving up the sky azure grass. If we really get into a fight with the Dragon Seeking Gate, then leave Wang Long to me!"

Hearing this, Li Gui was greatly astonished.

"What? Junior Brother Lu, are you serious?"

"That Wang Long is a Nine-Star Martial Spirit, and you're only a Three-Star. There's a difference of six small Realms. How could you possibly win?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Senior Brother Li Gui, when I competed with Lin Lang for Anbai Hall, everyone thought I couldn't beat Wang Hao, but I won."

"Just now, no one thought I could kill the turtle-type Yao Beast, but I did it."

"So, why not trust me one more time? I promise, if I face Wang Long, I will definitely defeat him!"

Hearing this, Li Gui frowned tightly, hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What do you all think?"

Wang Dong immediately stepped forward.

"I believe Lu Xingchen! In this short time since joining the Sect, he has already created too many miracles. I think he has the ability to create another miracle. Senior Brother Li Gui, let's try it!"

Zheng Jinghui also nodded slightly, "Junior Brother Lu's strength is obvious to all. More importantly, as a Seventh-Rank Sect, I don't want to be timid before the battle. Regardless of whether we can win, we should at least fight first!"

Li Jie only said one sentence, "I support Junior Brother Lu's idea."

Li Gui nodded heavily, "Hahaha! Actually, I've also been holding back! Since everyone supports Junior Brother Lu, then let's have a fight with the Dragon Seeking Gate Disciples. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain!"

"Junior Brother Lu, the two of us can team up to deal with Wang Long. If you can shoot that arrow that killed the turtle-type Yao Beast, then we'll have a chance to win!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "In that case, let's set off quickly! I'm afraid if we delay any longer, the sky azure grass will be taken by the Dragon Seeking Gate Disciples, and that would be truly troublesome."
