"A passive defensive type Spiritual Treasure?" the ponytail man speculated.

Lu Yu had already given up using the virtual armor and Spirit-Breaking Crossbow and chose to go head-to-head with the opponent, yet the opponent, at the final crucial moment, opted to use a Spiritual Treasure to decide the victor.

In that case, Lu Yu wouldn't hold back either. As soon as he saw the spiky-haired man throw the Exploding Thunder, he activated his virtual armor, and all the damage was absorbed by this virtual armor.

Lu Yu pulled out the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow and aimed it at the ponytail man, pulling the trigger.

Whoosh~ A sharp wind-breaking sound rang out. As soon as the ponytail man saw Lu Yu take out the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow, he sensed great danger and mustered all his strength to conjure up a protective spiritual armor.

The Crossbow Arrow, like a phantom, bypassed his purple protective spiritual armor and shot into his body.

Purple-black flames ignited on the ponytail man's body. "Cough, cough~" Several metal fragments were spat out from his mouth, remnants from the Crossbow Arrow that splintered upon entering his body.

The remaining fragments were enveloped by his purple-black flames, and the power within the Crossbow Arrow fragments was extinguished by the flames, without erupting. The few fragments that did unleash their power were quickly expelled from his body by the ponytail man.

Seeing the ponytail man's miserable state, the spiky-haired man did not dare hesitate. He hurriedly allocated his recently acquired experience points to upgrade his realm, recovering part of his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the energy to escape later.

Lu Yu sensed a peculiar fluctuation from the spiky-haired man. Having seen Yu Xiaoman upgrade, Lu Yu understood that the spiky-haired man had upgraded.

The spiky-haired man had intended to use these experience points to enhance his martial arts and Secret Technique, without rushing to upgrade. But, faced with necessity, he had no choice but to forcefully upgrade using the experience points. With the upgrade, he had a bit more Spiritual Power and Qi Blood in his body, slightly regaining some mobility.

Lu Yu took out a second Spirit-Breaking Crossbow Arrow. Since discovering the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow, Lu Yu used his daily quota to buy Crossbow Arrows, and now he had accumulated three, using one, with two left.

To deal with the two severely injured Qi Cultivation stage cultivators, two Spirit-Breaking Crossbow Arrows were more than enough.

Yu Qinghua and the others were caught off guard by the rapid turn of events. Just moments ago, they were worried about being killed by the ponytail duo, and now they feared being shot dead by Lu Yu.

They were overthinking it. Each Crossbow Arrow cost 1.2 million; shooting at them would be a loss, and even shooting the ponytail duo was a loss.

Lu Yu lined up his shot, ready to fire.

"Who took the Demon Core? Hand it over!"

An intimidating aura descended from the sky. A Martial Cultivator at the Sea of Qi stage, overhearing the departing Yang family guards discussing the Demon Core, learned that it hadn't shattered in the attack and instead fell into the hands of a group of Qi Cultivation stage Martial Cultivators, thus immediately chasing after them.

The Sea of Qi stage powerhouse unreservedly unleashed his spiritual pressure. The crowd felt insignificant against the ocean-like vastness of his Spiritual Power, experiencing an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

He noticed the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow in Lu Yu's hand and reached out towards him, intending to seize it.

Though the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow was of no use to him, he thought it would be highly valuable for his disciples or descendants, considering its rarity.

As his Spiritual Power reached Lu Yu's vicinity, he felt a resistance preventing his advancement.

Lu Yu sensed the immense Spiritual Power surrounding his virtual armor, and his face went pale. The Sea of Qi stage force was too strong for him!

Even though the virtual armor could withstand peak Qi Cultivation stage attacks, against a Sea of Qi stage powerhouse, it was merely thicker paper.

Upon feeling the resistance, the Sea of Qi stage powerhouse applied a bit of force, forming a giant hand with Spiritual Power that crushed Lu Yu's virtual armor.

Crack! Lu Yu heard five breaking sounds, and the virtual armor encasing him shattered and disappeared.

Before the virtual armor vanished, Lu Yu unwillingly shot an arrow at the Sea of Qi stage powerhouse, who glanced at Lu Yu and wrapped the Crossbow Arrow in a massive amount of Spiritual Power, intercepting it.

"Don't waste the Crossbow Arrows!"

The Spirit-Breaking Crossbow Arrow, enveloped by Spiritual Power, flew into his hand, simultaneously causing the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow in Lu Yu's grip to be enveloped by a formidable force, pulling it skyward.

Even exerting all his strength, Lu Yu couldn't stop the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow from escaping his grasp, as another force held him in place, rendering him unable to move.

"Stop!"

A voice rang out, and the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow that had slipped from Lu Yu's hand fell back into his grip. Holding the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow, Lu Yu looked towards the direction of the voice.
