Chapter 7: Killing Cao Yong, black marks prompting catastrophe

When the signal symbol exploded in the sky, Scarface Cao Yong was sulking in the cave.

The dignified law enforcement captain of the eighth level of Qi Refining was tricked by a mining slave.

The signal symbol exploded in the wrong direction - Song Yu was supposed to be blocking people on the other side of the mountain, so why did the fireworks explode from that position?

Unless Song Yu is dead, the signal talisman was placed by the mine slave.

"Damn it!"

Cao Yong punched the stone wall, "That kid is hunting back!"

He himself felt ridiculous when he said this.

Why would a mining slave with no cultivation level hunt down regular disciples of the Qingyun Sect?

But Han Tie is dead, Zhao Hu is dead, Ta Xue is disabled, and now Song Yu is dead too.

He couldn't tolerate disbelief.

Cao Yong forced himself to calm down.

Song Yu's six-layer body-protecting aura of refining qi is not too thick. If the opponent uses poison and traps, it is indeed possible to succeed.

But since he was at the eighth level of Qi refining, his protective shield was at least 50% thicker than Song Yu's, so even if he used poison, he might not be able to break through the defense.

And judging from the previous fights, this kid used poison and traps every time he killed someone - indicating that his frontal combat power was limited and he could only rely on these side tactics.

"He is at the end of his tether now."

Cao Yong encouraged himself, "It must have taken a lot of effort to kill Song Yu.

As long as I don't get poisoned and don't step on traps, he's just useless."

He picked up the knife and walked out of the cave towards the direction where the signal talisman exploded. He walked very slowly, taking every step with extreme caution, holding an antidote pill in his mouth. He carefully checked every abnormality on the ground, and first cut the vines on the branches to test.

But what he didn't know was that Su Yu had no intention of using traps to deal with him.

Su Yu stood on the crown of a towering ancient tree, watching Cao Yong approach from a high position.

The frost sword in his hand glowed coldly under the moonlight, and he had the Pyroblast Talisman in his arms.

The Frost Sword alone cannot break Cao Yong's body-protecting membrane - the eight-layer Qi Refining membrane is more than twice as thick as Han Tie's.

In the past, killing Han Tie at the fourth level of Qi Refining required four consecutive cuts. Cao Yong's Gangmiao required at least seven or eight cuts, and his breath could never be used to cut that many cuts.

But he had an idea.

The power of the Pyroblast Talisman is equivalent to a full blow in the middle stage of Qi Refining. If it is attached to the end of the hilt of the Frost Sword and detonated - the impact of the flames will push the Frost Sword out like a crossbow arrow, and its penetrating power is far better than a bare-handed stab.

Detonating in absolute stillness, the sword tip was aimed at the weakest point of Cao Yonggang's membrane and penetrated with one blow.

This is what his father taught him - Orion's arrows rely on the power of the bow string, and their penetrating power is ten times better than throwing it with bare hands.

The Pyroblast Talisman is his bowstring, and the Frost Sword is his arrow.

But there was a fatal flaw in this idea: he would have to hold the sword when the pyroblast exploded, and the blast of fire would also damage him.

He needs a time shield - but that will consume thirty breaths of life and a black mark.

Five realms turned into six realms, and he hesitated.

Or he can use the time stop to precisely control the timing of the explosion within a very small range, and let go of his hand at the moment the Pyroblast talisman explodes, so that the impact force only acts on the hilt of the sword.

But this requires extremely high precision, and he is only 50% sure.

Six paths are six paths.

Now there is no need to wait for Cao Yong to call more fellow disciples, there is no chance to use it.

Cao Yong walked to a relatively open clearing in the forest and stopped and looked around, spreading his consciousness.

"Come out!

Didn't you put the signal sign just to attract me?

Now that I'm here, you're hiding?"

Su Yu smiled silently on the tree crown.

He was waiting for the chance to kill with one strike.

Cao Yong was pacing back and forth in the open space more and more irritably.

Su Yu held the Frost Sword tightly and took out the Pyroblast Talisman from his arms.

He didn't attach the talisman to the hilt of the sword - that way the impact would be scattered when it exploded.
