Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 921: Chapter 449: True Fire forges the body, breaking free from control

“You, you, and you, walk in front,” Qiu Hu ordered Lu Yun and two of the cultivators.

Having previously encountered a terrifying life-and-death crisis, they were still in a state of shock, and upon hearing Qiu Hu’s words, the two cultivators turned pale and almost reflexively wanted to refuse.

However, seeing Qiu Hu’s tiger-like smile, the words that had reached their lips stopped short, and they swallowed their saliva, nodding heavily in agreement.

Lu Yun’s face was also not looking good at the time, which was both a reflection of his feelings and a deliberate display.

“Hurry up, don’t delay,” Qiu Hu urged.

The two cultivators looked at each other, then together they stepped forward, treading on the ancient steps and ascending one step at a time.

...

Surprisingly, the staircase leading directly to the palace gate was clear of any danger; they effortlessly reached the top and appeared outside the grand entrance of the ancient palace.

Even the magnificent palace doors just needed a light push to swing open, as if there were no obstacles in this place leading directly to the land of creation.

Qiu Hu and the others were slightly startled, thinking that they would have to expend some effort and sacrifice a few more pawns to open the palace doors, but it was unexpectedly easy.

He stepped forward, shoving Lu Yun and the others aside, and looked through the door where everything was hazily shrouded, like the Immortal Realm, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.

“Be careful, don’t step in,” Pang Yan expressed a serious look, blocking Qiu Hu who was about to step inside.

Without a doubt, he had spotted something off about this place.

“You, go in first,” Qiu Hu’s heart tightened, then pointed at one of them, causing the designated cultivator to turn pale.

Being given such attention by a leading figure like Pang Yan, anyone could see there was definitely something significant about this place, and it was very likely one could die here.

“Senior, please spare my life, we three were the ones scouting ahead before, so this time it should be someone else’s turn,” the cultivator pleaded, his face completely bloodless, continually bowing deeply to ask for mercy.

“Stop talking nonsense, I told you to go inside. When the time comes, I won’t forget about your share of fortune, don’t waste time,” Qiu Hu scolded.

“No, I don’t want to die!” Faced with the dilemma of delivering himself to death or being killed, he chose the latter, retreating backwards.

Qiu Hu’s gaze turned icy, and with a simple gesture, the cultivator was immediately imprisoned by a powerful force, unable to struggle.

“If we didn’t have fewer and fewer people left now, I would have slapped a coward like you to death,” he said coldly.

With that, he flung the cultivator inside.

In the next moment, powerful True Fire erupted from both sides of the door, instantly incinerating the cultivator to ashes, without even giving him a chance to cry out for help.

Seeing this, everyone’s face showed horror, especially those cultivators who had been coerced into coming here; now only eight of them remained.

The next to fall could very well be one of them.

“Eldest brother, have you figured anything out?” Qiu Hu asked.

Pang Yan furrowed his brows, contemplating as he looked at the stone pillars on both sides of the gate.

Lu Yun’s attention was also drawn to the two stone pillars, which were carved with lifelike fierce beasts. The True Fire that erupted had come from the mouths of these beasts on the pillars.

Below the gate, there were many patches of black ash, suggesting that these were left by some past fortunate ones who had made it this far.

“This gate appears ordinary, but one step inside might be the difference between life and death, and in terms of danger, it’s even greater than the divine bridge before,” Lu Yun considered in his heart, quietly contemplating a way to break through the situation.

To him, this palace gate was both a gate of death and a gate of life.

If unable to pass through, then one would turn into ashes, accumulating here.

If able to get through, then one might directly escape from the likes of Pang Yan and even seize the opportunity for fortune here.

However, the precondition was that he needed to figure out how to get through this gate before people like Pang Yan did.

“Next, enter from the right side, and do so with the utmost speed,” Pang Yan suddenly spoke.

Qiu Hu nodded and pointed to the second cultivator, “It’s your turn. Seize the opportunity; the first to enter has the greatest chance to gain fortune.”

That cultivator’s complexion was ashen, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare.

“Don’t dilly-dally, otherwise, I would be more than happy to ‘assist’ you,” Qiu Hu said with a cold smile, urging the cultivator on.

The cultivator, looking as if he had lost everything, finally took a step forward, otherwise he would have met the same fate as the previous person.

Left with no choice, he complied with the demands and entered through the right side of the gate.

With a mere step, the fierce beasts on the stone pillars seemed to come to life, dreadful True Fire surged out, and the cultivator was immediately engulfed in flames. He then let out a scream before turning into ash.

“This…” Everyone felt a chill to the bone; so quickly, a cultivator of the Third Level of the True Spirit Realm had met a grisly death.

Yet in Lu Yun’s eyes, he realized something.

The two fallen cultivators were both of the Third Level of the True Spirit Realm, but the latter held on a bit longer, managing to last for two breaths before turning to ash, and even managed to let out a scream before his death.

“The next one, go in from the left side,” Pang Yan instructed without looking back.

“You, go in,” Qiu Hu pointed, directing the third cultivator to step forward.

“Please spare me…” the cultivator couldn’t help but plead in a quivering voice.

But when he saw Qiu Hu raise his finger again, he despaired and then resignedly walked forward.

He dashed through the gate and took two steps forward, but his physical body was rapidly consumed by True Fire, and before dying, he let out a dreadful scream.
