Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 590 - 567: Fate Manifested

Chapter 590: Chapter 567: Fate Manifested

“The realm of the Grandmaster is so troublesome!’” Lou Yi furiously grumbled in his heart as he pursued Mu Yun.

In order to kill Mu Yun, he had not only used the companion martial technique ’Body into Sword’ multiple times.

He couldn’t help but use the ’Ascend Dragon’ ultimate move, which was several times more formidable than Body into Sword, consuming nearly forty percent of his energy, but still couldn’t eliminate Mu Yun who could ’fly through the air’ by leveraging the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Up until now, in all battles,

he had always broken through with overwhelming strength and extraordinary speed, rarely encountering opponents even at the same rank or lower ranks.

But against this world’s Grandmaster whose means were far superior to his, he found that immense power and speed also had certain limitations.

Solely in terms of qi-blood, Mu Yun and he had a significant gap.

If Mu Yun couldn’t leverage the Power of Heaven and Earth, he might not even withstand a single move from Lou Yi.

But the martial arts true intent and the Grandmaster realm were too miraculous, completely erasing the gap in qi-blood between the two.

It’s like two heroes in a MOBA game from the previous life, Lou Yi’s stats were considerably higher than Mu Yun’s, but his skill mechanism was too outdated, like a primitive man, making it difficult to hunt him down.

Moreover, as the favored child of fate in this world, Mu Yun had great fortune.

As an outsider, Lou Yi found it inherently more challenging to kill him than the native people of this world.

Despite this, Lou Yi remained confident that given enough time, he could eventually slay Mu Yun.

While Lou Yi was feeling troubled, Mu Yun was even more shocked.

The young lad before him was like a rock in a cesspool, stinking and unyielding, impossible to kill or shake off.

The most crucial fact was that Lou Yi hadn’t even reached the first realm of the Grandmaster, yet possessed such power.

If he were to break through to Grandmaster in the future, would there be anyone in the world capable of restraining him?

“Mu Yun, you old scoundrel, where do you run?” Lou Yi shouted from behind.

Mu Yun heard, fuming with anger to the point his nose was crooked; he was a renowned Grandmaster, when had he ever been humiliated like this?

Yet, being an old hand at the game, he wouldn’t fight over a momentary dispute of honor, instead, he focused on fleeing ahead.

The chase and flight continued for another thousand miles, still entangled in relentless pursuit.

Quickly, Mu Yun crossed the border of Daqing, reaching the capital city of Wanma Country, and swiftly entered his sprawling palace.

“Hmph?”

Outside the palace, Lou Yi paused.

He calculated with his fingers, deducing the existence of something within the palace that could threaten his life, causing his expression to turn somewhat uncertain.

’Could Wanma Country still harbor something capable of threatening my life?’

’In this world, there are only two major countries, Daqing and Wanma.

The core capital of a country with trump cards beyond Grandmaster combat power – it’s not particularly surprising when you think about it.’

’Mu Yun, the Grandmaster, can’t hide in the palace forever. Besides, there are ways to force him out.’

Though somewhat unwilling,

Lou Yi knew there were factors of world will involved here.

As a newly emerged Grandmaster in this world, Mu Yun was imbued with the fortune of the world, essentially a child of fate, definitely not easy to kill.

Moreover, even if he were slain, would Lou Yi, the outsider, suffer the world’s backlash?

Potentially even more severe than when he first arrived in this small world?

Clearly, the world’s will was protecting Mu Yun. Should he truly take the risk of going against an entire world?

“Mu Yun, you old codger, you’d best hide in there forever, or I’ll take your head!” Lou Yi’s resounding voice instantly echoed throughout the National Master’s palace.

Even many in Wanma Country’s capital heard, each person gaping in shock.

Who dares to make a scene in front of the National Master’s palace?

Quite a few Wanma Country experts quickly gathered, but upon sensing Lou Yi’s unabashedly formidable aura, and seeing the National Master continuing to hide in the palace, they dared not act rashly.

They weren’t foolish, knowing someone even the National Master couldn’t provoke was certainly not someone they could deal with.

“Damn youngster!” Mu Yun crouched within the palace, face flushed red, trembling with anger.

After becoming the National Master, his status was supreme, even the Sovereign of Wanma Country treated him with great respect.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation, hiding in the palace, silently enduring the other’s taunts and threats?

But under the eaves, unable to fight Lou Yi, he could only swallow his pride, quietly lurking in a certain underground area of the National Master’s palace.

Standing outside the palace, Lou Yi’s eyes flickered with a trace of red light, simultaneously using the Attribute Panel’s detection skill, yet couldn’t locate where the mysterious thing threatening his life was hidden.

Helplessly, he shook his head, choosing not to waste more time here, promptly turning to head swiftly towards Dancheng.

Before leaving, he again warned Mu Yun that if he dared to make trouble in the Central Plains, he would be slain.

A distance of a thousand miles was crossed by Lou Yi in just over an hour.

Upon arriving at Yun Jin Manor, seeing the crowd’s expectant eyes, Lou Yi shook his head saying, “He got away.”

“Ah, what a pity, truly a pity! If Mu Yun died, then the threat from Wanma Country would be trivialized…” Manor Master Leng of Dominator Sword Manor lamented.

Though a first-rate expert, he was one of the most timid regarding Mu Yun.

“Oh Amitabha, with Young Master Liu’s age and skill, having won already, Mu Yun will be even less of a match in the future!” The host from Yun Kong Temple smiled, appearing very optimistic.

“With Young Master Liu guarding, Mu Yun won’t dare act rampant, we of Daqing still have national fortune!” Another martial artist excitedly said.

This also represented the sentiment of most present on site.

Just then, a sudden wail pierced through the crowd.

“Young master uncle!”

“Great uncle master!”

Lou Yi abruptly turned his head.

Only to realize that another Grandmaster who was seated on the ground, the Passionate Young Master, this old and frail white-haired man, had already perished, his aura completely gone, fallen from the world.

Nearby stood Sect Leader Yu from Haoran Sect, Liu Yafei, and a group of disciples, all kneeling.

“Ah, an unparalleled Grandmaster has fallen.” Valley Master Lin from Questioning Heart Valley showed a mournful expression.

“Senior, travel well on your journey.” Lou Yi also showed respect, deeply bowing before him.

After all, if it weren’t for Passionate Young Master’s groundwork, he wouldn’t have been able to grasp Mu Yun’s methods, allowing him to take the initiative in the subsequent battle.

Following this, Lou Yi furrowed his brow.

Upon Passionate Young Master’s death, a sudden reaction occurred on his Attribute Panel, displaying a new prompt.

Opening the prompt, Lou Yi’s furrowed brow suddenly relaxed.

The displeasure stemming from not killing National Master Mu Yun swiftly vanished.

The Grandmaster’s fate, apparently was fulfilled here.
