Chapter 47
Battle 3
However, whether he can leave depends on whether Lu Yang will allow it.
He was no match for Lu Yang in a direct confrontation, let alone exposing his back to him.
Riding the Flying Cloud Shuttle, the demonic cultivator couldn't create any distance between himself and Lu Yang. Once he got close, he unleashed the Mingwang Fist.
"Wait, we are just following orders, spare our lives."
The demonic cultivator's face turned green as he looked at the Flying Cloud Shuttle beneath Lu Yang. What was going on? You're just a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, having a mid-grade magic weapon is one thing, but why are you pulling out one, two, or three high-grade magic weapons at a time? I've never heard of the Lu family being this rich. Isn't this bullying?
He knew that once Lu Yang took out the Flying Cloud Shuttle, he would have no chance of escaping.
As a demonic cultivator, he naturally knew what was most important: if he couldn't win, he should surrender. He couldn't really fight Lu Yang to the death, could he? What if Lu Yang was willing to let him go?
Lu Yang remained unmoved by his words, seizing the opportunity to finish him off. Villains die from talking too much, and Lu Yang would be crazy to keep arguing with him.
"We are just the vanguard of the Southern Barbarians. There is a large Southern Barbarian army behind us, including Foundation Establishment cultivators. Foundation Establishment cultivators! Spare my life, I still have inside information."
boom!
As the Mingwang Fist struck down, Lu Yang put in all his strength for this attack, having been frightened into submission.
Foundation Establishment cultivator!
There were even Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them! The Southern Barbarian tribes have invaded! This is outrageous!
If we act too slowly, what if a Foundation Establishment cultivator arrives?
Lu Yang dared not utter another word. The demonic cultivator hadn't expected that Lu Yang would not only remain unmoved but would also resort to such ruthless tactics.
He reacted hastily, but was immediately knocked to the ground.
As a demonic cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was quite resilient. The demonic blood spilled on the ground only fueled his ferocity.
When Meng Xu was teaching them the Blood Demon Technique, he also taught them a secret technique called the "Blood Burning Technique".
As the name suggests, it involves burning one's life essence to gain strength.
In this life-or-death moment, the demonic cultivator didn't care about the side effects of using the secret technique. However, he valued his life and didn't unleash his full power, only using half of it, thinking that if he could drive Lu Yang back, he could still escape.
boom!
The demonic cultivator's aura surged, but Lu Yang ignored it all. His Mingwang Fist was wide and powerful, allowing him to experience the exhilarating feeling of a body-refining cultivator's wide and powerful movements.
Every punch lands with a thud, but the opponent's damage feels as weak as a small fist pounding on the chest.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, Lu Yang felt that his understanding of the Mingwang Fist was also improving rapidly.
Indeed, combat is the shortcut to improving one's strength.
Seeing that Lu Yang was only halfway through his attack and was becoming increasingly fierce, the demonic cultivators became anxious and dared not delay any longer, wanting to unleash their full power.
But it was too late. Suddenly, Lu Yang seized a glimmer of inspiration, and the illusory image of the Ming King appeared behind him. His power immediately increased by three points, and with a punch, the demonic cultivator was instantly torn to pieces.
Looking at the scattered corpses with little essence blood, Lu Yang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva. "Pathetic. Hesitating even when burning blood. Who else but you will die?"
After looting his equipment and taking his storage bag, Lu Yang used a Spirit Flame to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
Turning back to look at the Qi Refining Level 4 demonic cultivator, his face had turned green. Heaven knows he hadn't even finished dealing with the dual nature of ice and fire yet.
The rampant Yin energy within his body was already difficult to eliminate, and the burning karmic fire further exacerbated his predicament, leaving him overwhelmed and unable to attend to everything.
Actually, if it were just one problem, it wouldn't be difficult for him at all. He could have solved it in a short time. But now that the two have come together, not only has he not solved it, but the situation is even getting worse.
Upon seeing Lu Yang approach, the demonic cultivator panicked. Just as he was about to say something, the Azure Cang Sword slashed across his neck, effectively ending his chance to speak.
Lu Yang quickly looted the spoils of war, and casually threw out the demonic cultivator's corpse from his storage bag and burned it.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yang still flew towards Lu Yunchang.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Regardless of whether the information obtained from the demonic cultivator is true or false, it must be told to Lu Qingwen as soon as possible.
They can no longer stay here; they must retreat to Lujia Town as soon as possible. No, Lujia Town is probably not safe either.
When a Foundation Establishment cultivator makes a move, the mere Lu Family Town is nothing more than a matter of a thought for him.
"Third Grandfather!"
Before he even returned to the spirit field, Lu Yang heard Lu Qingwen's angry roar, and his heart skipped a beat.
Changhong's grandfather is in trouble!
Sure enough, the scene that came into view made Lu Yang clench his fists.
Lu Changhong stood in front of Lu Yunchang, his chest pierced by a sword. Already at his limit, Lu Changhong had no strength left to force the demonic blade out.
As Lu Changhong's life faded away, Lu Yunchang's face was covered with tears.
Lu Changhong died trying to save him!
It turned out that although Lu Changhong had knocked down the mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator who was proficient in stealth with one palm, the mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator was indeed powerful. At the critical moment, he actually went invisible again, which directly made Lu Changhong lose his target.
Lu Changhong wanted to unleash his spiritual sense to search further, but the two late-stage demonic cultivators behind him had already pressed forward.
With no other option, Lu Changhong had to drag his injuries along with Lu Yunchang to deal with the two demonic cultivators.
Lu Yunchang is an alchemist. Although she has the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, she is not as strong as Lu Changhong in terms of combat power.
Two against two, the two were already at a disadvantage, and no one expected that the hidden mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator would make a move again at the crucial moment.
This time, the demonic cultivator assassin was after Lu Yunchang. How could Lu Changhong watch his genius alchemist perish? He immediately stood in front of Lu Yunchang to protect her.
Lu Qingwen's battle was also not going well. After all, Lu Qingwen was one level lower than Meng Xu in cultivation. Even though his cultivation technique was special and his combat power was unparalleled, Meng Xu was not to be underestimated. In their battle, Meng Xu actually gained the upper hand.
boom!
Meng Xu was initially happy that Lu Changhong had been killed and Lu Qingwen's attention had been diverted, which meant that the battle here should end soon.
But then, in his anger, Lu Qingwen actually broke through the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Breakthrough in the face of battle!
What a fuss!
Meng Xu was so shocked that he gritted his teeth. If you were to say that a body-refining cultivator breaks through in battle, that would be one thing, but for a Qi-refining cultivator, unless they have a special cultivation method, how could this be possible?
Spiritual practice emphasizes gradual progress, letting things unfold naturally!
"die!"
Lu Qingwen's emotions were completely ignited at this moment. Although he was only at the first level of cultivation, it caused a qualitative change in his combat power.
The two clashed again, and Meng Xu was so overwhelmed that he could hardly breathe.
Most importantly, Lu Qingwen, who was about to use some secret technique, started chanting incantations. Upon seeing this, Meng Xu was terrified. He had come to rob, not to seek death.
The southern barbarians suffered the disaster, not him. He was hired, why is he risking his life?
"withdraw!"
At his command, Meng Xu immediately retreated. The two late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivators in front of Lu Yunchang, who were about to attack her, hesitated for a moment upon hearing the order, and then turned around as well.
The mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator naturally dared not linger and put away his demonic blade to run away.
With such a deep-seated hatred, how could Lu Yunchang let him escape?
"Die!"
At this moment, Lu Yunchang's face was covered in blood and her expression was ferocious. The mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator was also startled and quickly fled.
But just as it turned around, before it could run, it crashed into a cage.
"Minor Spirit Cage Technique!"
Lu Yang watched helplessly as this mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator assassinated Lu Changhong. How could he let him escape? He unleashed the Lesser Spirit Cage Technique at the perfect moment.
Moreover, he didn't say a word, only focusing on stacking small spirit cage techniques.
In Lu Yunchang's vision, the mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator had disappeared; all she could see were the spirit cages shattering one after another.
boom!
She brought down the pestle in her hand. Even if Lu Yunchang was weak, she was still a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, let alone when she attacked in anger.
The spirit cage shattered, and a corpse fell straight down.
