Chapter 0127: 0127
"Wu Yu, you have caused our deaths . Despicable!" Upon hearing Jiang Junlin's explanation, Yi Qingfeng burst into tears while jabbing an accusing finger at Wu Yu, cursing and swearing .
"He's right! All of us are doomed because of you!" Faced with such a dire predicament, even the usually stoic Zhao Changtian was reduced to a frightened, baby chick, trembling uncontrollably and sticking to Elder Shentu's side like glue .
"Shut your mouth!" As soon as the two of them spoke, the rest of the disciples were quick to admonish their cowardice . Lan Shuiyue was no exception . After all, they knew that this situation was out of Wu Yu's control .
Among the commotion, Wu Yu was dealing with extremely conflicting emotions within him . A part of him felt guilty for leading them to this situation, while another part of him was filled with spiteful rage against Jiang Junlin . This man had been a thorn in Wu Yu's side since Capital Wu, and even with the previous two defeats, he had still not given up on revenge!
He could see Jiang Ding, the Thunder Seabird, and both of the Scarlet Sea Ghosts advance menacingly, emanating an ominous air .
Suddenly, Jiang Junlin spoke, "Dear Seniors, I have been defeated twice consecutively by Wu Yu and have a bone to pick with him . I beseech thee to stand down on my account . He must be destroyed by my own hands; how else will I be able to rid the demons plaguing my heart on the path of the Immortal Dao?"
His tone had changed to a considerably more docile and sincere one .
This matter had been discussed with Jiang Ding before, and he had no qualms about it . After all, there was nowhere for the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples to escape to, and they were substantially outmatched . Although Elder Shentu was formidable, he could not take them all on by himself .
Shen Erjun and Qi Yunji had no complaints either, and they smirked at each other as Qi Yunji remarked, "Since this is so, we will leave the burden of avenging the Spectral Concubine to you . "
Qi Yunji's tone seemed to hint at something sinister .
"Seniors Shen Erjun and Qi Yunji, leave it to me . " Jiang Junlin chuckled as he made his way towards Wu Yu before raising his finger and pointing straight at Wu Yu's nose . He proclaimed arrogantly, "Wu Yu, I will give you a clean, fair chance . Take your shot!"
Wu Yu couldn't believe his ears .
Jiang Junlin had been beaten soundly during the previous two engagements, to the extent that the spiritual source at his Chest Meridian was handicapped .
To date, Wu Yu had rushed to reach the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm, and his Inner Vajra Buddha was almost at the second tier . His fighting prowess was comparable to someone at the sixth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm, yet Jiang Junlin was foolish enough to challenge him to a duel?
"He must have gotten his grubby paws on a dirty method to kill me . " Wu Yu was absolutely convinced that there were no free meals to be had on earth, and he knew that Jiang Junlin would never do something so irrational .
"Wu Yu . "
Elder Shentu cautioned him quietly .
Wu Yu understood .
Perhaps this was their only way out .
Elder Shentu's idea was to overpower Jiang Junlin and hold him hostage . This way, they would have a bargaining chip .
Ultimately, the rest of the enemies would have no reason to hold back after the conclusion of the duel . The nine from the Heavenly Sword Sect would truly have no hope then .
"Alright!"
No matter what underhanded tricks Jiang Junlin had in store, the only way was forward! Wu Yu naturally chose to fight .
Whether or not Su Yanli blamed him for the Sumeru Pouch incident, Wu Yu still harbored some guilt .
"Everyone, I am truly remorseful for the events today… . " Wu Yu glanced back at Su Yanli, Mo Shishu and Lan Shuiyue… .
Faced with a life or death situation, both Su Yanli and Lan Shuiyue stared at Wu Yu with tears in their eyes . To them, Wu Yu was faultless . But given Wu Yu's character, he would never cower in times of desperation .
"All of us must live through this!" Su Yanli declared as her tear-stained eyes looked on .
"Death is not an option . " Wu Yu gritted his teeth .
The bond that had been forged between the disciples caused him to well up with emotions . Although it was still a relatively fresh bond, the waters ran deep .
"Junior Brother . . . " The routinely mischievous Mo Shishu's voice wavered as he stared at Wu Yu, unable to express the many sentiments swelling within his chest .
Whoosh!
Wu Yu turned swiftly, his gaze a raging inferno, taking step by resolute step towards Jiang Junlin!
The four spiritual sources within him blazed with spiritual power as he drew upon the yin yang vortex .
Pa, pa!
Immortal Ape Transformation!
His body contorted and enlarged into the shape of a great, golden Immortal Ape, feral and savage . The Inner Vajra Buddha materialized around his body as his yellow fur hardened into bristly needles .
Bang!
The Demon Subduing Staff met the floor with a resounding thud, causing tremors in the ground .
What was once Wu Yu was now a fearsome beast . This caused Jiang Ding, the two Scarlet Sea Ghosts, and the Thunder Seabird to turn their attention to Wu Yu . The Thunder Seabird seemed particularly entranced by this change as his eyes flashed in several mysterious ways .
"Ah!"
Jiang Junlin paled in comparison to the golden warrior standing across him . Although Jiang Junlin had already laid down immortal roots and possessed five spiritual sources, he was nowhere near as imposing as Wu Yu .
"You must defeat and capture him!" This was the only way and the hope that Elder Shentu had pinned on Wu Yu's shoulders . He knew that their lives depended on the outcome of this fight!
However, while the Immortal Ape Transformation greatly enhanced his strength, it also made him very temperamental . The acrimonious rage within him burned with a frenzied intensity!
