Chapter 247 - Flee!

Zhou Yu operated the Nether Fire True Qi with all his strength, launching a punch.

Bang!

That terrifying symbol was struck by Zhou Yu’s punch.

In an instant, it turned to ash.

Zhou Yu was stunned.

Was that it?

Just then, he suddenly noticed that not far away, the Evil Daoist’s figure began to turn transparent, and a moment later, he completely disappeared, leaving behind only a broken yellow talisman on the ground.

Zhou Yu’s figure flashed, and he appeared before this talisman.

“Substitute Talisman!!!”

He recognized it; this yellow talisman was a commonly used substitute talisman in the Taoist sects.

Through the substitute talisman, it temporarily mimicked the appearance and aura of the body to confuse the opponent.

The Evil Daoist had run away!

It turned out he had spoken such harsh words and performed that seemingly terrifying move, all to conceal the substitute talisman and then escape.

Embarrassment flashed across Zhou Yu’s face.

Damn it, he had been tricked by that old thing.

“Thinking of running?

I don’t think you can escape.”

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, grabbed the broken yellow talisman from the air, and held it in his palm.

If the Evil Daoist had directly escaped, maybe he would have gotten away just now.

But his cleverness in leaving behind the substitute talisman had instead provided Zhou Yu with a clue to find him.

Zhou Yu immediately used the Spirit Seeking technique, and the next moment, a cold smirk appeared on his lips as he chased in another direction.

After the Evil Daoist used the tactic to escape, he kept heading south and rushed straight into the mountains.

All the way, the Evil Daoist’s expression was gloomy.

“Damn it, this Zhou Yu is truly extraordinary; I almost fell into his hands.”

“Just by myself, I am indeed no match for him head-on.”

“First, I need to find a place to hide and deal with him later.”

The Evil Daoist’s movement technique was extremely fast, and he soon entered the deep mountains of the southern outskirts.

He moved like a ghostly shadow through the forest.

After rushing for about an hour, he arrived in a valley.

Surrounded by cliffs, and about three hundred meters above the cliffs, there was a cave.

Arriving here, the Evil Daoist finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was one of his secret hiding places, surrounded by formations he had laid, incredibly safe.

The Evil Daoist leaped up and soared through the air to arrive at the entrance of the cave.

Just as he was about to step into the cave, the surrounding valley suddenly vibrated.

Following that, at the entrance of the valley, a cloud of black air exploded dramatically, with a flash of fire lighting up the center of the explosion.

The next moment, a figure leaped into view.

“This place wasn’t easy to find.”

“But indeed, it’s a good place to hide away.”

The Evil Daoist was stunned.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stood with his arms folded under the cliff, looking at him with a faint smile.

The Evil Daoist’s face changed dramatically.

“Zhou Yu, how…

how did you find this place?”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly,

“All thanks to the substitute talisman you left behind.”

“You…”

The Evil Daoist’s face turned incredibly ugly.

“You actually know the Taoist Spirit Seeking technique!!!”

“Somewhat.”

The Evil Daoist’s eyes darted around, but at that moment, Zhou Yu extended his finger, and a terrifying surge of Nether Fire True Qi welled up.

“Don’t think about running!”

“I won’t give you a chance this time.”

“Bursting Flame Finger!”

As Zhou Yu pointed.

A fireball meteor shot violently towards the Evil Daoist.

The Evil Daoist immediately sensed a deadly threat.

His expression turned frantic as he hastily threw out a pile of talismans to block it.

However, before his talismans could deploy, the onslaught of the Bursting Flame Finger had already arrived.

“Ah—”

The Evil Daoist screamed pitifully as he was blasted backward.

His body slammed hard against the wall of the cave behind him and then heavily fell to the ground, all the while an intense pain surged from his waist.

He looked down only to find his lower body had completely vanished.

Below his waist, a bloody charred mess.

“My legs!!!”

The Evil Daoist let out a wretched scream.

Just then, Zhou Yu’s figure appeared in front of him.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die just yet.”

Zhou Yu said indifferently.

At this moment, the rage in the Evil Daoist’s eyes nearly spewed out.

“Zhou Yu… you will not die a good death.”

“Chu Dafu won’t let you go!”

“You will die miserably.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

“Is that so?

Well, tell me where Chu Dafu is?

I’ll go get myself killed.”

The Evil Daoist knew that his chances today were slim.

He looked at Zhou Yu with full resentment.

“Don’t think you’ll get any information from me.”

Zhou Yu said indifferently, “Don’t speak if you don’t want to, I have plenty of ways to make you talk.”

As he spoke, a silver needle appeared in Zhou Yu’s hand.

The Evil Daoist’s face changed.

“What are you going to do?”

“Guess!”

Zhou Yu flicked his finger, and the silver needle instantly buried itself in the Evil Daoist’s forehead.

What he used was naturally the Mind Control Needle.

The Evil Daoist, in his current state, had no way to resist.

Under the control of the Mind Control Needle, the Evil Daoist quickly divulged Chu Dafu’s address.

Beyond that, Zhou Yu also unexpectedly learned about the Evil Daoist’s background.

Surprisingly, the Evil Daoist was a disciple of the Taoist sect, but because of his unrighteous heart, he had embarked on an evil path and had stolen a secret scripture from the Taoist sect, resulting in being hunted by them.

All these years, he had been hiding in Yancheng under the protection of Chu Dafu, concealing his identity and just managing to survive until today.

Zhou Yu had heard about the Taoist sect from the old man, but he only knew some general information and had not understood the details.

Now, through the Evil Daoist, he learned more about the Taoist sect.

However, just as Zhou Yu continued to question him.

Two streams of black air suddenly burst from the stagnant eyes of the Evil Daoist.

The black air struck Zhou Yu instantly, penetrating into his body.

Simultaneously, the silver needle in the Evil Daoist’s forehead shot out explosively.

Zhou Yu was startled, dodging swiftly.

The next moment, the Evil Daoist’s body suddenly burst into flames, and at the same time, he regained his senses briefly.

With a face full of viciousness and resentment, he said,

“Zhou Yu, you’ve been marked by the Taoist seal.

The Taoist sect won’t let you go, you will die, I’ll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld, hahaha…”

Amidst his laughter, the Evil Daoist turned into a pile of dry bones.
