Chapter 348: Chapter 323: Fierce Battle in the Fairy Ruins_1
However, the people at Shengwu Sect, having lost their Joint Striking Method, were no match for Shen Yinuo. Even though they outnumbered him, they were still overpowered by him in the fight.
After dozens of moves.
Thud!
An old man had his chest pierced by Shen Yinuo’s punch and the intense flames burned from within outward.
The rest of the people were chilled to the bone, and could only cluster together for defense, hoping that Wu Hao would soon handle Lu Yan and come to their aid.
Meanwhile, the battling between Lu Yan and Wu Hao became increasingly fierce, and in a short time, their exchanges had already reached more than one hundred moves.
"Refreshing."
With bright eyes and boiling blood, Lu Yan was excited. During this time, because of his rapid enhancement, he wasn’t so adept at controlling his drastically increased power. With the progress of the fierce battle, however, the power of each move was slowly brought under his control, gradually reaching its peak. He started to gain the upper hand, dominated Wu Hao.
Usually, he would strike seven times and defend three times out of ten moves.
Wu Hao was gradually being put on the defensive, narrowly avoiding danger several times and was only able to defend with the overwhelming defensive power of the metallic stele.
"True Dragon Splitting Skill, God Dragon Tail Swing, Sky Dragon Rising..."
Lu Yan’s attacks rained down on Wu Hao with increasing intensity, causing Wu Hao to step back as he found it hard to catch his breath.
His forehead glowed, and the power of his soul connected with the power of heaven and earth, enveloping his whole body, whilst controlling the metallic stele to attack Lu Yan.
At this moment, a flash of light appeared on Lu Yan’s body, and an avatar of the True Dragon War Body and the Star Leg suddenly appeared.
The True Dragon War Body avatar pounced and blocked the metallic stele.
Meanwhile, the Star Leg avatar appeared beside Wu Hao and swung a leg at his head.
"Not this thing again."
Looked at the avatar, which was identical to Lu Yan and totally clean, Wu Hao was startled.
He was embarrassed by this same move last time, which cast a shadow on his heart.
Seeing the Star Leg avatar charging at him, he went all out to block it. But this allowed Lu Yan to take advantage of an opportunity, launching a full-strength attack at Wu Hao’s chest.
The Armor Miracle protecting Wu Hao’s body was instantly shattered, leaving a dent in his chest. He stepped back and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Lu Yan wanted to press on and kill Wu Hao.
But Wu Hao turned around and ran.
The metallic stele emitted dazzling light and spread a strong aura, immediately sending the True Dragon War Body avatar flying and attacked towards the real body of Lu Yan.
"What is this..."
Lu Yan’s eyes narrowed, sensing the imminent threat. The Star Leg avatar dashed forward, continuously kicking at the metallic stele.
After a few booming sounds, the metallic stele turned into a beam of light, speeding away, and landed above Wu Hao’s head.
Wu Hao sprinted crazily, charging through a hallway, then turning a corner and disappearing.
"Our leader..."
The remaining men of Shengwu Sect were deathly pale.
Lu Yan had no intention of mercy and went straight for the kill.
A Martial Cultivator of the King’s True Body at the seventh level of refinement was shredded by Lu Yan’s claw; an old man at the same level was blown apart by a kick.
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo combined their strength, and these Shengwu Sect people were not their opponents at all. They cut through them like vegetables, and swiftly resolved the crisis.
After collecting the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, they quickly left.
...
Somewhere in the Tongtian Palace.
Thud, thud, thud...
Tweve martial artists of a certain feudal prince, including one in the Primordial Spirit Realm, were severely wounded and fell to the ground.
"Fairy Ruins, you guys are from Fairy Ruins."
The martial artist in the Primordial Spirit Realm yelled, extremely shocked.
"Now you know, but it’s too late. Your innate constitutions are not bad, just what the Immortal Lord wants. You should be glad that you can keep your lives."
In the Fairy Ruins, a bald man sneered. He was holding a book, inside which numerous lines surfaced.
These lines, like little snakes, crawled out of the book, twining around the twelve martial artists who had fallen and couldn’t get up. Then they pulled the twelve and flew towards the book.
A bizarre scene unfolded. As these people approached the book, their bodies shrank rapidly. In the end, they landed on the book and turned into humanoid figures drawn on the pages; they were vividly lifelike.
"The treasure bestowed by the Immortal Lord truly has the power to defy the heavens and earth."
Many people sighed.
"Of course, if the Immortal Lord was not suppressed, which of the Human Martial Artists could be his match?"
The bald man said, holding the Immortal Lord in great reverence.
"Never mind, it’ll be soon. Once the Immortal Lord breaks free, this world will be ours."
The bald man said, his eyes glowing.
"Long live the Immortal Lord, invincible in the world."
The others praised, bending their torsos.
"Let’s go, we need to find other martial artists."
The bald man said.
...
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo had hopped through several buildings, but still saw martial artists.
The two of them wanted to find a secluded place where they wouldn’t be disturbed to refine the Spiritual Medicine. However, it seemed problematic for a while.
Tramp, tramp...
Suddenly, they heard heavy footsteps coming from a corridor in front of them.
Then, a figure quickly charged towards them.
"It’s him."
Lu Yan became alert.
The one who was charging forward was a young man. Wasn’t it the Primordial Spirit Realm martial artist from the Zhang family who carried a short spear on his back?
However, now the short spear on the young man’s back had disappeared. He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his steps were heavy, looking extremely haggard.
It was obvious he had been severely injured.
After seeing Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo, his eyes lit up as if he had caught a lifeline, and he shouted, "Both of you, save me. It’s Fairy Ruins, the Fairy Ruins people are chasing us, no, they want to kill all the martial artists who entered here."
"Fairy Ruins..."
Lu Yan was startled.
He immediately thought of his experience in Nanjiang.
In Nanjiang, he had already encountered people from Fairy Ruins.
People from the Fairy Ruins have actually entered the Tongtian Ruins?
But on second thought, it’s normal.
The Tongtian Ruins were also a part of the Fairy Ruins.
Those who enter here from the Fairy Ruins may gain huge benefits.
Roar!
At this moment, a roar came from behind the passage.
The ground rumbled as if a huge beast was rushing this way.
"Let’s go."
Lu Yan pulled Shen Yinuo and turned to leave.
He had no relations with the youth from the Zhang family, there was even a gap between them. Why should he offend the Fairy Ruins for him?
It’s better to avoid it.
The youth revealed a hint of despair, clenched his teeth, used the remaining strength to closely follow Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
Lu Yan frowned.
This guy obviously planned to borrow their strength to deal with the Fairy Ruins.
His calculations were good indeed.
But Lu Yan was not going to play along, he and Shen Yinuo quickened their pace.
However, the next moment, roars resounded from the ground up ahead, then, five huge beasts appeared and rushed towards Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
The bodies of these five huge beasts were not made of flesh and blood, but made of metal, covered in patterns. They were extremely similar to the metal statues in front of the medicinal garden.
However, these were not humanoid, but beastlike. Their bodies resembled ferocious tigers, their heads and tails resembled crocodiles and their bodies were covered in spikes. They were pure killing machines.
Roar!
The two leading metallic beasts leaped towards Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo, their sharp claws, reaching half a meter long, were as lethal as divine weapons, extremely sharp.
Lu Yan stepped forward to counter the claws, confronting the two metal beasts head-on.
The violent power erupted and sent the two metallic beasts flying. But after a somersault, the two metallic beasts sprang up again as if nothing had happened.
Lu Yan immediately stimulated the True Dragon War Body to its extreme, attacked with fierce moves, and continuously knocked away the five metallic beasts as if they were balls.
But they immediately got up again, and roared as they attacked.
"Their bodies are so hard, I can’t seem to affect them."
Lu Yan was secretly shocked.
These metal beasts were much stronger than the metal statues inside the medicinal garden.
Each beast possessed the power of a Primordial Spirit at the First Transformation, in addition to being unbreakable.
Despite Lu Yan going all out just now, the areas he targeted merely dented slightly.
He wondered if, like those humanoid statues, they also had a weak spot.
At this moment, another five metallic beasts had chased over from behind.
Following the metallic beasts, there was also a group of people.
The group consisted of dozens of people, led by a bald muscular man, his aura was intimidating.
Some seemed like quite normal Human Martial Artists, but others had patterns covering their skin, which looked rather strange.
"As expected, they are people from the Fairy Ruins."
At this moment, the metallic beasts from behind had already caught up to the youth from the Zhang family.
Being injured, the youth was unable to resist. In a few moments, he was knocked down and pinned under a metallic beast, unable to move.
"Didn’t expect that there would be unexpected gains."
The bald youth looked at Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
"That kid, such strong power, he was actually able to injure the Immortal Puppet."
An old man said with a serious face.
They didn’t have such power themselves.
"Attack together."
The muscular bald man waved his hand and the four metallic beasts from the back also pounced towards Lu Yan.
Shen Yinuo wielded the Great Sun Melting Furnace to try to block the oncoming metallic beasts.
Boom boom boom...
The metallic beasts behind kept bashing against the Great Sun Melting Furnace, causing it to shudder violently. Cracks started to form on it, and its glow started to dim.
Each beast possessed power comparable to the Primordial Spirit.
Facing the simultaneous attack of four metallic beasts, Shen Yinuo, at her current cultivation level, couldn’t resist.
"Yinuo, I will go all out, you wait for a chance to break out."
Lu Yan reached into his Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, and the Five-Colored Battle Knife appeared in his hand.
Although he couldn’t fully display the profundity of the Five-Colored Battle Knife, it was perfectly suited to deal with these metallic beasts due to its unbeatable sharpness and indestructible properties.
He swung his knife, filling the sky with blade light, falling like raindrops onto the bodies of the metallic beasts.
These metallic beasts staggered backward, but then rushed up again.
"There’s no weak spot?"
Lu Yan frowned.
The dense blade light fell, but he still couldn’t find a weak spot on the metal beasts.
Could it be that these metallic beasts didn’t have any weak spots at all?
If that was the case, it would be even more difficult to deal with them. They would have to rely on brute force to break out.
"Attack!"
Lu Yan roared, activating all his strength, and slashed his knife at a metallic beast’s neck.
The metallic beast was knocked sideways, a knife mark appeared on its neck, about an inch deep.
But then as if nothing had happened, it got up and pounced at Lu Yan again.
"Get lost!"
Lu Yan swung his knife repeatedly, knocking away the five metallic beasts blocking him. Then he pulled Shen Yinuo, leaped over the five metallic beasts, and quickly moved away.
"Chase."
The bald, muscular man issued an order.
The ten metallic beasts roared and chased after Lu Yan. Meanwhile, he took out the book and collected the severely injured youth from the Zhang family into it, then followed the chase with his people.
