Chapter 378: Chapter 353: Battling Four Powerhouses Alone_1
Whoosh!
The third arrow from the Avatar of Demon Hunting was shot out.
However, this arrow was blocked by an expert in the fifth transformation of the Primordial Spirit.
The strength of the avatar, after all, was far inferior to the main body, and it was only using an ordinary Divine Weapon bow, which could not exert all its power.
But by doing so, it managed to stop the two grand masters of the big sects.
"You guys, get out of here quickly, we can leave whenever we want," Chu Long sent a message to the people of Mansion of King Ming.
The people at Mansion of King Ming, understanding their awkward circumstances, decisively turned and left, moving down the mountain. Being here not only would they not be able to help, but they would also distract Chu Long and the others.
Bang bang bang....
At this moment, after parrying a blow from the Supreme Elder of Tianque Sect, Lian Chengchao’s body trembled, and he staggered back five or six steps. Simultaneously, his Primordial Spirit Manifestation’s light dimmed significantly.
"This can’t be good, it’s poison. It’s Soul Poison," Lian Chengchao roared.
At the same time, Chu Long had also been forced backward by Jian Wuxin’s sword strike, his Primordial Spirit Manifestation’s light dimmed as well.
"It must be Mother-in-law Wandu..."
Chu Long whispered.
"Heh heh heh, I’ve been waiting here for quite some time just for this moment," a shrill, hoarse laugh spread across the battlefield. An old woman riding a massive black spider appeared.
It was Mother-in-law Wandu.
When Mother-in-law Wandu appeared, a patch of black fog abruptly manifested around Lu Yan’s soul, enveloping it completely.
As soon as his soul touched the black fog, waves of pain struck him.
Furthermore, when the black fog seeped upon his soul, it penetrated towards the core of his soul. It had a terrifying corrosive effect, threatening to obliterate his soul.
But at this moment, the tree inside Lu Yan’s soul suddenly exuded a strong gravitational force. All the black fog was swallowed clean by the tree within moments.
"Mother-in-law Wandu, when did you poison us?" Chu Long asked sternly.
They had been paying extreme attention and their Spiritual Sense had been spread in all directions, but they hadn’t sensed anything at all.
"You are affected by my ’Black Nether Fog’, a Soul Poison I spent hundreds of years refining. It’s colorless, tasteless, formless, and imperceptible before it takes effect. You can’t possibly have noticed it. I used most of it on you three. You three should die as you deserve," Mother-in-law Wandu boasted. It was as if Lu Yan and the others were already wrapped fish in her barrel.
"Break through!" Chu Long decisively instructed Lu Yan and Lian Chengchao via mental transmission.
Then the three of them gathered and dashed towards the back.
"They are trying to break through! Stop them with all your might. Their Soul Poison will soon take effect; they won’t be able to hold on for long. The more they exert themselves, the quicker they will die as their Primordial Spirit is constantly eroded by the Soul Poison," Mother-in-law Wandu’s shrill voice rang out. The spider beneath her spat out a massive poison web, covering the three of them.
Lu Yan used the Nine Dragon Kill move, and a nine-clawed dragon danced out. The dragon claws ripped through the air, tearing the poison web to shreds before diving toward Jian Wuxin and his cohort.
And Lu Yan and the others seized the opportunity to dash down the mountain.
Mother-in-law Wandu, Jian Wuxin, and the other four top-notch experts chased after them mercilessly, unleashing devastating attacks from mid-air, targeting Lu Yan and the others.
Lu Yan and the others, while resisting the attacks, continued to retreat.
Fighting and retreating simultaneously, they soon covered dozens of miles, distancing themselves considerably from the mountain.
But by now, the light from Chu Long and Lian Chengchao’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation faded, flickering like candles in the wind, before finally they couldn’t hold on any longer and had to return to their bodies.
Both men were pale as sheets, their energy waned, seemingly the Soul Poison had considerably affected their Primordial Spirits.
"What’s the situation, seniors?" Lu Yan contacted them mentally.
"If we don’t force out the Soul Poison soon, I fear all our cultivation of the Primordial Spirit would go wasted," said Lian Chengchao.
"Is everything alright, Lu Yan?" Chu Long found that Lu Yan seemed less affected, his energy remaining vigorous.
"My soul is unique and can resist Soul Poison. I have not been poisoned," Lu Yan explained briefly. Then he continued, "I will hold them off. You guys get away and find a place to expel the poison."
"Are we supposed to leave first? No, that’s not going to work. You wouldn’t stand a chance against all four of them, you’d die. If we die, we die together. I, Chu Long, am not someone who is afraid of death," Chu Long immediately shook his head.
"Indeed, even if we die, we could at least drag them down with us. We’re old and if we die, we die. On the other hand, General Lu is young and full of potential, you can’t die here," said Lian Chengchao.
"Don’t worry, seniors, Lu Yan won’t die. It’ll be easier for me to escape alone," Lu Yan replied.
However, Chu Long and Lian Chengchao clearly didn’t believe him.
All four of their opponents were first-rate experts. To confront even one of them required one’s full effort. Against two, they would be in grave danger. Facing three, they would undoubtedly die, not even escape would be possible, let alone four.
"Seniors, watch closely," Lu Yan spoke, confronting the elder of the Tianque Sect. A moment later, starlight filled the area beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the other side, exchanging blows with Jian Wuxin twice in quick succession.
Just as Jian Wuxin was about to use a killer move, starlight flickered beneath Lu Yan’s feet, and his body disappeared from its spot, appearing on the other side. He summoned another nine-clawed dragon which clashed head-on with Mother-in-law Wandu.
Such blistering speed was utterly unimaginable.
"It’s the Star Leg technique, but performed with such incredible speed. Could it be that Lu Yan has already cultivated the Star Leg technique to the highest seventh level?" Chu Long exclaimed in shock.
Simultaneously, he was overjoyed.
Cultivating the Star Leg to the seventh level would grant the practitioner enormous speed. Its effect was like walking on the starlight, making an escape indeed not difficult.
"Commander Lian, we’ll leave first."
Chu Long was a decisive man. He instantly made a decision and communicated it to Lian Chengchao. Without resisting further, they sprinted away at full speed.
"You’re not getting away."
Jian Wuxin yelled coldly, cooperating with his Primordial Spirit Manifestation, he slashed out a Sword Qi River that spanned across the nine heavens.
Roar!
Lu Yan, roaring like a great dragon, ascended into the sky with two continuous punches, shattering the Sword Qi River.
Stepping on starlight, he appeared on the other side, stopping the two masters of Tianque Sect who wanted to pursue.
"Kill this brat first, then Chu Long and Lian Chengchao."
The shrill voice of Mother-in-law Wandu echoed.
One of her hands became black as ink, while the other turned snow-white.
Even her pupils, were one black and one white.
This was the Fang Family’s Divine-level Martial Arts, Yin Yang Poison Palm.
The power of Heaven and Earth surged, two colossal black and white palms, rolled towards Lu Yan.
Years ago, Lu Yan had experienced the Yin Yang Poison Palm of Fang Xuansha, a genius of the Fang Family. Compared to Mother-in-law Wandu, Fang Xuansha’s Yin Yang Poison Palm was like child’s play.
The Yin Yang Poison Palm is divided into nine levels.
Mother-in-law Wandu’s Yin Yang Poison Palm had at least reached the sixth level.
A casual slap would contain intense poison.
Simultaneously, her Primordial Spirit Manifestation, the enormous spider, spouted out two giant venomous webs, enveloping Lu Yan as if it was the sky net and earth trap.
At the same time, the other three masters also initiated their techniques.
The Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect combined with his Primordial Spirit Manifestation to unleash six Sword Wheels, sealing all directions.
A Tianque Sect elder surnamed Zhuge, merged with his weapon into a circular ring. From this ring, a terrifying power of restraint was born, trying to tie down Lu Yan.
Lu Yan felt as if he was entwined by countless chains.
And Jian Wuxin, merging with his sword, thrust out a dazzling sword, attacking Lu Yan’s forehead.
Four masters joined forces to launch a seamless, deadly strike.
In the entire world, there were few who could withstand this attack, except for a few strongest beings.
But oddly enough, Lu Yan was one of them.
Lu Yan let out a long roar, his long hair waving wildly, his aura ferocious like a dragon’s.
The True Dragon War Body was activated to the extreme, overlaid with the newly-learned Yanluo Golden Body. With a shake of his arms, like a real dragon traveling, he broke free from the restraint of the ring. He unleashed a True Dragon with nine claws, counter-attacked and tore apart the two poisonous webs, colliding with the Yin Yang Poison Palm of Mother-in-law Wandu.
However, facing the siege of the four masters, it was tough for Lu Yan to completely resist.
At the crucial moment, Lu Yan somersaulted, his leg glowing with starlight, he struck Jian Wuxin’s war sword, and a powerful force sent Lu Yan crashing into the ground.
Then, the six Sword Wheels indiscriminately chopped Lu Yan’s body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground vibrated, stones flew, dust billowed, and a large pit was blown into the ground.
A figure was sent flying, leaving a trace hundreds of meters long on the ground.
This person was naturally Lu Yan.
But Lu Yan shook his head and stood up as if nothing had happened.
"Man, that really hurt..."
Lu Yan grinned.
Being hit at close range by the full force of a top master, although it didn’t break his defense, the intense pain still made Lu Yan grimace.
"What?"
The four top masters’ eyes bulged round, as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially the Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect, he couldn’t accept it.
Directly hit, he didn’t break Lu Yan’s defense?
What kind of monster is this?
Even if an Immortal of the same level were hit by him, they would be chopped into several pieces, right?
"This man is a monster, he has cultivated a Divine-level Body Cultivating Martial Art to an unimaginable realm, he must be killed today, otherwise, we will never have peace."
Mother-in-law Wandu screamed hysterically, with a touch of hysteria.
She was really scared, a deep fear surged from her heart.
"His body is invincible, but his soul is his weakness, we combine the power of the four of us and destroy his soul with our soul power."
The Supreme Elder of the Tianque Sect growled.
"Yes, do it!"
Jain Wuxin shouted loudly, his eyebrows shone and slipped out from between. It suspended over his head, emanating strong Soul fluctuations.
A terrifying Soul Power pressed down on Lu Yan.
In an instant, Lu Yan seemed to see an unrivalled divine sword, slashing towards his Sea of Consciousness, wanting to annihilate his soul.
At the same time, the other three masters all made their moves.
Three different Primordial Spirit images emerged, all attacking his soul.
Lu Yan’s soul was suppressed by four mountain-like pressures, on the verge of collapsing.
But deep within his soul, a large tree extended its branches and roots, stabilizing Lu Yan’s soul, making his soul strong and undying.
With a strong struggle from the soul, it broke free from the mighty pressure, restored its freedom, pushed its hands forward, and a gigantic tree appeared out of thin air. It rapidly grew larger, colliding with the divine sword formed by Jian Wuxin.
With a clash, the divine sword dispersed.
Then it charged forward, a large spider, a circular ring, a double-faced four-armed image, all shattered.
The four masters’ bodies shook violently, vomiting blood as they retreated in shock, their faces filled with horror.
