Chapter 403: Chapter 378: Killing Gu Chongshan_1
"You are not qualified to know who I am yet."
Lin Yan said indifferently.
"Looking at your state, you’re a man on the verge of death. No matter who you are, killing you will solve it."
With a cold look in his eyes, the Saint Shengwu ancestor started the Martial God’s Secret, his body was covered with a layer of mysterious light, his muscles swelled, becoming full, and a horrifying pressure diffused out.
Whoosh!
Upon the spear, there was also a layer of mysterious light that broke through the sky, pointed directly at Lin Yan’s forehead.
"Flame Dragon!"
Lin Yan uttered a low shout. His finger incited the Rule of Fire in the air. Combined with the power of Heaven and Earth, it turned into a huge flame dragon, lunging at the Saint Shengwu ancestor.
Boom!
The pair clashed once, it was as if the sky was torn into two halves. The entire void was shaking, with the power of Heaven and Earth in chaos.
Lu Yan, Wushen Tong, and Gu Chongshan, all three who were not far away, were affected slightly with the mobilization of the power of Heaven and Earth becoming sluggish.
Thump, thump, thump!
The Saint Shengwu Ancestor stepped back on the void thrice, receding three steps.
Lin Yan also retreated. But during the retreat, he was worried that Shen Yinuo would be caught in the aftermath. So, he cast an energy that covered Shen Yinuo, retreated another six steps along with Shen Yinuo.
The Saint Shengwu Ancestor glanced at Shen Yinuo, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Wielding the spear again to attack, at the same time, his Primordial Spirit Manifestation also emerged, both of them closing in on Lin Yan.
His Primordial Spirit Manifestation stood at a height of five hundred feet. One of its large hands resembled a mountain. With one palm strike, Lin Yan, and Shen Yinuo were both enveloped within.
"Flame Dragon Emperor Fist!"
Lin Yan’s face was solemn as he swung both of his fists.
His fists appeared to move in slow motion, but as he swung, it seemed to stir up the energy of the entire sky and earth, causing a rumble. The Rule of Fire was like a solid entity, finally gathering into two colossal flame dragons.
These two dragons, each a thousand feet long, looked alive and breathing.
On their bellies, there were not five, but nine claws.
The two nine-clawed flame dragons roared, shaking the heavens. Their bodies twisted and pounced at the Saint Shengwu ancestor and his Primordial Spirit Manifestation. An alarming surge of high temperature spread, drastically increasing the temperature within a hundred mile radius.
Tang Cheng and Gu Feiyu both madly retreated, not daring to stay too close to the battlefield.
Boom, boom, boom...
The terrifying collision occurred, making heaven and earth seem to boil. Bursting down on the earth, peaks exploded one after another. Stones splintered, smoky dust filled the air, as though it was the end of times.
"Girl, move a bit further."
Lin Yan transmitted a message to Shen Yinuo, covering her body with the Rule of Fire, then pushed Shen Yinuo far away.
Lin Yan was far from being at his peak. He had been lucky to survive under the Heavenly Tribulation, struggling for thousands of years, suffering from severe damage to his strength.
His injury was not only physical but also spiritual. Some of his formidable abilities couldn’t be used at all. He could only fight against the enemy reluctantly with the Rule of Fire. If he tried to protect Shen Yinuo at the same time, he would be at a disadvantage.
After sending Shen Yinuo away, Lin Yan was unreserved. For a moment, he fought evenly with the Saint Shengwu Ancestor.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan, Wushen Tong, and Gu Chongshan were also deadlocked.
"Fighting two opponents is not that easy. Well then, let’s separate you."
With that thought, Lu Yan suddenly split into several avatars.
The first one to come out was the Yanluo Golden Body Avatar. With all strength exerted in one fist, it blocked Wushen Tong’s attack. Then, the True Dragon War Body and Star Leg Avatar attacked Wushen Tong fiercely from both sides.
Following closely, the Five-Colored Heavenly Blade Avatar and Demon Hunting Avatar emerged.
Bang!
Lu Yan pushed Gu Chongshan back with a cut of his knife. Waving his hand, the Five-Colored Battle Knife flew out, grasped by the Five-Colored Heavenly Blade Avatar. The blade intent surged, slashing towards Wushen Tong’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
Again, Lu Yan waved. The Slaying Immortals Bow, Demon Destroying Arrow, and a large bundle of metal arrows fell into the hands of the Demon Hunting Avatar.
Whoosh!
The Demon Hunting Avatar sprang out, keeping a distance from Wushen Tong, drew the bow, and fired an arrow at Wushen Tong.
As the Martial Art Avatar was far less powerful than Lu Yan’s main body, even several of them joined together would not be able to defeat Wushen Tong.
Wushen Tong was about to completely suppress several avatars and was prepared to eliminate several of the avatars in one fell swoop, but the Demon Hunting Avatar’s shot was accurately timed.
Wushen Tong couldn’t ignore the Demon Hunting Avatar’s full-force shot.
Ignoring it would mean death.
He could only abandon the other avatars and resist with all his strength.
With a clang, the Destroying Demon Arrow flew off. Wushen Tong’s arm trembled slightly.
The other avatars seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan roared, exerting the Yanluo Golden Body and the True Dragon War Body to their peak. He struck out with his palm.
Without Wushen Tong to interfere, he finally had the chance to deal with Gu Chongshan at full strength.
Bang!
Gu Chongshan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation burst open its arms and chest, and its massive body flew backwards.
A light emanated from Lu Yan’s eyebrows, and his soul emerged. He pushed out with both hands, and a Big Tree Phantom Image rushed into Gu Chongshan’s knowledge sea.
Lu Yan’s methods had already spread throughout the world via the Tianjian Sect. Gu Chongshan was informed and had already tucked his Primordial Spirit into his body ahead of time.
The Big Tree Phantom Image didn’t hit Gu Chongshan’s Primordial Spirit directly. Instead, it exploded, causing a massive Soul Attack.
Although Gu Chongshan evaded the direct attack of the Big Tree, the Soul Attack still affected him somewhat, causing his use of the power of Heaven and Earth to become obstructed, not as smooth as before.
That was enough.
Boom!
Lu Yan’s body twisted like a real dragon, closing in on Gu Chongshan in an instant, continuously chopping with his blade and palm.
Gu Chongshan’s whole body was filled with a purple glow, confronting him with the Supreme God Boxing.
Thump, thump!
Their fists collided, the Purple Extreme Battle Armor emitted a grating sound, then burst apart. Lu Yan’s power, like a force breaking through, erupted out.
Gu Chongshan screamed in pain, both his arms blasted to a pulp.
"Lu Yan, you...you..."
Gu Chongshan was horrified.
Lu Yan’s power was greatly superior to the last time they had sparred.
He understood that Lu Yan had not used his full strength in their last encounter.
He had underestimated Lu Yan.
Without further thought, a war sword flew out of his eyebrows, slashing at Lu Yan while he retreated hastily.
"Martial God’s Secret, come and help me!"
Gu Chongshan shouted in fear.
Pop!
At this moment, Martial God’s Secret had severed one of the Star Leg Avatar’s legs.
The few Martial Arts avatars were ultimately no match for a genuine powerhouse like Martial God’s Secret.
However, Lu Yan did not need his avatars to win, he just needed them to stall for a moment.
The Star Leg Avatar retreated, True Dragon War Body and Yanluo Golden Body avatars rushed up, fearlessly throwing themselves forward. With their heaven-defying defense, they bravely blocked Martial God’s Secret.
Clang!
Lu Yan’s hand chopped, smashing the incoming war sword, and continued to pursue Gu Chongshan.
The brightness of the hundred feet tall blade light ripped through the void and slashed at Gu Chongshan’s forehead.
Gu Chongshan could only mobilize the Rule Power to resist.
But without his hands, Gu Chongshan’s combat strength greatly decreased, how could he stop Lu Yan’s attack? His Rule Power was shattered by the blade’s light.
"Gu Chongshan, I’ll send you off."
Lu Yan dug his feet into the void and his body shot forward like a star.
Pop!
In the next moment, Gu Chongshan’s body was torn apart, and his terrified primordial spirit escaped.
But then a Big Tree Phantom Image came crashing down, and Gu Chongshan let out a frustrated roar. His primordial spirit exploded, and he was reduced to ashes.
In the distance, Gu Feiyu’s face turned pale as if his spirit had been drained, his eyes were hollow.
With Gu Chongshan’s death, all his hopes were shattered.
After killing Gu Chongshan, Lu Yan did not stop. He turned mid-air and targeted Martial God’s Secret.
Before he could reach him, a dazzling blade light was already slashing down at Martial God’s secret.
Martial God’s Secret could only abandon the Martial Arts avatars to fend off Lu Yan’s attack fully. By the time he had blocked two blade lights, Lu Yan was already near, his hand chopping down fiercely.
"Martial God Armor!"
Martial God’s Secret let out a low shout, his forehead glowing, and a set of armor flew out, instantly covering his whole body.
Having witnessed Gu Chongshan’s fate, he dared not engage in hand-to-hand combat with Lu Yan. With the Martial God Armor on, he suddenly had much more confidence, similarly swinging out his palm to strike.
Bang!
As the two clashed, it was like two stars colliding, generating waves of destructive energy sweeping in all directions.
Martial God’s Secret staggered, retreating over a dozen steps.
However, Lu Yan merely swayed slightly.
"Such a tough armor, much more robust than Gu Chongshan’s Purple Extreme Battle Armor. Could this be the Saint Shengwu Sect’s treasure, the Martial God Armor?"
Lu Yan thought.
These ancient sects all had their treasures. As the first amongst the founding seven sects, the Shengwu Sect was naturally no exception.
The Martial God Armor was the treasure of the Shengwu Sect. Treated by generations of sect masters, it was incredibly strong, far surpassing ordinary spiritual treasures.
The direct clash just now did not damage the Martial God Armor at all.
What he didn’t know was that Martial God’s Secret was even more shocked than him.
"How can this kid’s strength be so terrifying? If it wasn’t for the Martial God Armor, my hands would have exploded instantly, and I would have followed in Gu Chongshan’s footsteps."
Martial God’s Secret was shocked, his will to fight diminished, and began to consider retreating.
But would Lu Yan let him retreat?
After the first move, he forcefully exerted his vigor, stepping on stardust, and charged at Martial God’s Secret again. His palms continuously chopped down, and in an instant, he had unleashed eighteen cuts.
Martial God’s Secret had nowhere to retreat and could only fight back with his full power.
He pushed the Martial God’s Secret technique to its extreme.
The Martial God’s Secret technique and the Martial God Armor seemed to resonate, emitting a mysterious light, which enhanced the power of the Martial God Armor.
Boom, Boom, Boom...
In an instant, they exchanged eighteen blows.
In the first seventeen moves, all of Lu Yan’s attacks were blocked by Martial God’s Secret. But on the eighteenth move, Lu Yan’s palm landed on Martial God’s Secret’s chest.
Martial God’s Secret’s body was sent flying a thousand meters, his chest heaving continuously. If one could see through his armor, they would realize that his mouth was already oozing blood.
And his arms were shaking non-stop.
Martial God Armor could block Lu Yan’s attack, but the terrifying vibrational force still partially penetrated the armor, affecting Martial God’s Secret.
The blow to his chest just now still injured Martial God’s Secret.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan appeared above Martial God’s Secret as if he had teleported, cutting down with his blade hand again.
Under the power of True Dragon War Body and Yanluo Golden Body, Lu Yan’s hands were harder than any spiritual treasure. Each strike was as heavy as billions of pounds and powerful enough to split a mountain.
Martial God’s Secret had no choice but to muster his strength to defend. At the same time, his Primordial Spirit Manifestation that was being besieged by the Martial Arts Avatar suddenly dispersed and disappeared, reappearing behind Lu Yan’s main body, planning to attack Lu Yan.
