Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 220 - 217: Pursuit and Kill

```html

"Princely Heir!"

"Princely Heir!"

Huang Shiron and Wen Qianqian snapped back to reality.

Zou Fang and Guo Chi also regained their senses at the same time.

What they saw was Chu Zhiyuan shooting Zhang Youling through with a knife, and then Zhang Youling disappearing, leaving them astonished and amazed.

This Zhang Youling is truly terrifying.

Even after his heart was pierced, he could still use a secret technique to escape.

"What kind of demon art is this guy using!" Wen Qianqian’s face was pale.

Just now, her mind went blank, lost in thought as if she had fainted, her memory seemed to have vanished for a while.

When she came to, she felt a headache, slightly nauseous, and her face involuntarily turned pale, and looking at the other two women, they also had pale faces.

Guo Chi said solemnly, "Princely Heir, this guy is too sinister!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded heavily.

This time, without the Dragon Subduing Scripture, he had already fallen to Zhang Youling.

His demon art is indeed strange, instantly making oneself bewildered; if it were someone else, they would have already been hit, having their cultivation and essence blood drained by Zhang Youling.

This is the most hated method of the Yuding Sect.

Huang Shiron said, "Other Yuding Sect demon people aren’t this strong."

"After all, he’s at the Eighth Layer Heaven," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Huang Shiron pondered, shook her head, and said, "I’ve seen a few Yuding Sect demon people, and there are top experts, even those at the Eighth Layer Heaven, who aren’t this strong."

"This guy is indeed bizarre," Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

"Do we need to hunt him down?" Huang Shiron asked.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

A cornered beast is the most dangerous.

But this Zhang Youling is a scourge; if he’s not killed this time, knowing about my Great Heavenly Dragon Fist as the ultimate move, next time might not be a victory.

Take his life while he’s weak.

Despite the great risk, he must be hunted.

"Master Huang, you stay," Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly. "Keep watch here, if Uncle returns, have him come find me."

"...Alright." Huang Shiron hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

She felt her cultivation was too weak to be of help in dealing with Zhang Youling, and would instead be a burden, so it would be better not to go.

"Princely Heir, you must be careful," Wen Qianqian said. "Why not wait for the Great Grandmasters, when they arrive, they will have their tracking methods."

"Yes, with the Great Grandmasters acting, he won’t escape," Xu Mengyu agreed.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I still need to keep an eye on him, let Uncle and them come find me."

Huang Shiron said, "I wonder how the Great Grandmasters are doing."

"With five Great Grandmasters together, there is no danger, they should be held up," Chu Zhiyuan said. "I’m heading out."

As he spoke, Zou Fang had already retrieved the Night Blade and the Day Blade, along with several Breaking Gang Sabers, all used earlier against Zhang Youling.

Chu Zhiyuan took the flying knives, tucking them into his sleeves one by one, and smiled at Huang Shiron and the others, "Keep my token safe."

"Yes." Huang Shiron nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Guo Chi and the other four.

"Princely Heir, we should go with you, at least the array can block him for a while," Guo Chi said.

Ji Dongxiao said, "Princely Heir, if we focus on defense, he can’t do anything to us for the moment, we can entangle him so he can’t heal, increasing his injuries until he’s dead."

Chu Zhiyuan eventually nodded.

The Five Spirits Formation can increase our own strength.

They floated away, leaving behind Huang Shiron and the three women.

"Sigh..." Wen Qianqian stomped in frustration. "The cultivation is still too weak!"

This fight, they couldn’t help at all, and couldn’t brazenly insist on going along.

Huang Shiron patted her fragrant shoulder, "Then practice diligently, settle your heart, don’t overthink, progress will come faster."

Wen Qianqian shrugged her fragrant shoulder, pushed away her jade hand, and snorted, "Senior Sister, here you go again!"

Huang Shiron’s words were full of hints and warnings, making her dislike them.

...

Chu Zhiyuan floated along, occasionally touching the pine trees.

Earlier, he had used too many flying knives and was fatigued; after communing with the pine trees, he quickly replenished his losses.

From then on, any pine tree became his close friend and sibling, able to see their memories and feelings at any time.

Through these pine trees, he saw Zhang Youling’s movements, and cross-referenced with his Super Sense to avoid being misled by special techniques.

Zhang Youling has survived until now, he must have means to save his life.

When he was still weak, before becoming a Grandmaster, he surely had many life-saving experiences, along with the skills to escape.

Otherwise, he would’ve been eradicated long ago.

Through the pine trees, he saw Zhang Youling’s arms vanish, yet his speed was incredibly fast; passing by a nest of wild boars, he absorbed all five, leaving only pig hair and bones.

These pig bones were scattered and broken, as if weathered for years under the wind and rain.

Chu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue in awe.

This technique of absorbing essence blood is indeed domineering.

However, the power isn’t deep enough.

If he could absorb the wild boars’ essence blood without leaving even the fur or residue, that would be truly impressive.

Along the way, after absorbing a few wild boars, he also absorbed two giant bears hidden underground, and a tiger.

A hundred miles later, his arms had already regrown.

The color was a bit light, appearing lacking in blood, and he moved them gently, not daring to use much force.

Clearly, these arms were still tender.

Chu Zhiyuan was shocked.

Through the pine trees, he saw the whole process clearly.

After absorbing the first giant bear dry, tiny hands and arms appeared on his shoulders, like a baby’s, pink and delicate.

When the second bear was absorbed, after operating his power for a while, the tiny hands and arms inflated like a balloon, growing larger with the wind.

Within just a quarter-hour, they reached their original size and thickness.

As if twenty years had been compressed into that quarter-hour.

Chu Zhiyuan watched with both fear and delight.

Demonic skills or Miracle Techniques, if one could grasp their essence, wouldn’t they become invincible?

This is entirely different from the Earth Venerate’s power of the Thick Earth Sect.

The power of the Earth Venerate comes from beyond the heavens; the greatest secret is this, and beyond that, there’s nothing else of use to know.

Zhang Youling’s Miracle Technique transforms the power within essence blood, making it even more miraculous.

What was alarming was that Zhang Youling controlled such a Miracle Technique, and his body could recover quickly; he had to hurry to pursue.

If he waited for him to fully recover, pursuing would be courting death.

His speed increased.

Zhang Youling indeed used other tricks, like capturing two birds, smearing them with his blood, then passing a breath onto them and letting them fly away.

These two birds then shared a similar aura to him, possessing essence, qi, and spirit.

Sufficient to create a convincing facade.

A Grandmaster pursuing his aura could possibly be misled by these two birds.

During his Qingong exercises and flashes, his appearance and aura slowly changed, and two hundred miles away, he had turned into a middle-aged man.

Chu Zhiyuan marveled.

It wasn’t just the appearance that changed, the aura changed too, most importantly, the aura underwent a strange transformation.

If it weren’t for the Spirit Summoning Talisman and seeing through the pine trees, relying only on Super Sense, he might indeed have lost him.

This method is truly strange and wondrous.

Simultaneously, when passing through a village, he directly drained three young men, turning them into skeletal remains, dead silently.

The skeletons were directly thrown into a deep well, hidden without a trace.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face turned grim, a fierce killing intent surged.

This is the true nature of Evil Sect demon people.

Only by annihilating them can justice be served!
