Chapter 422: Chapter 397: Sudden Change_1
"Golden Sunburst."
The White Tiger Immortal Master flew backward for several kilometers, issuing a long howl. His body was enveloped in glaring white light, emitting astonishing fluctuations. The Rule of Gold and cosmic energy frantically converged on him.
A cluster of energy condensed in the mouth of the White Tiger Immortal Master, shimmering thousands of feet in splendor, like a platinum sun.
Boom!
The platinum sun dramatically enlarged and then bombarded towards Lu Yan and Lin Yan.
Ding Ding Ding...
Each ray of light from the golden sun was a sharp-as-razor attack, like tens of thousands of ultra-sharp needles, piercing into Lu Yan’s body and making a metallic clashing sound.
And although every ray of light was not very powerful, all of the rays were blocked by Lu Yan.
Yet, all of a sudden, thousands of needles pierced into Lu Yan’s body, bringing a huge impact.
Lu Yan swiftly shrank backwards.
On the other side, Lin Yan swung the Coiling Dragon Spear to block all the light, but he also retreated.
Boom!
The golden sun accelerated fiercely, bombing towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan drew his bow and released an arrow, hitting the golden sun.
With a bang, the golden sun burst open and turned into countless razor-sharp spikes, flying towards Lu Yan.
With countless spikes raining down like a storm, there was no escape.
Lu Yan simply put away the Slaying Immortals Bow and took out the Five-Colored Battle Knife, swinging out multiple times to create a Knife Screen which blocked all the spikes.
Whiz!
A figure abruptly appeared in front of Lu Yan.
It was the White Tiger Immortal Master.
It turned out that just before, the White Tiger Immortal Master followed closely behind the golden sun, rushing towards Lu Yan.
With the explosion of the golden sun, he exerted his speed to the extreme and was suddenly close to Lu Yan. Sharp claws went straight for Lu Yan.
He had already judged that Lu Yan’s strength was weaker than Lin Yan’s. However, Lu Yan’s soul attack greatly affected him, causing him to become frustrated and unable to concentrate. Despite his superior strength, being off balance made him at a disadvantage.
Once Lu Yan was removed, he could turn the tables.
"A Knife to Command the World."
The Five-Colored Battle Knife slashed horizontally, colliding with the sharp claws of the White Tiger Immortal Master.
With a loud bang, Lu Yan felt an extremely sharp force pouring into his hands through the Five-Colored Battle Knife.
Sizzle sizzle...
Lu Yan’s hands throbbed with pain as scales on his hands were split open. Bloody wounds became evident, and he almost lost hold of the Five-Colored Battle Knife.
At the same time, a few spikes flew from the body of the White Tiger Immortal Master, shooting towards Lu Yan with dreadful speed and impeccable timing, making it impossible for Lu Yan to avoid.
With great effort, Lu Yan swung his left hand, swatting away one of the spikes.
But two more spikes embedded in his chest.
Lu Yan, struck as if by an immortal mountain, was propelled backwards by several kilometers. Fresh blood flowed continuously from his chest.
His defense was broken.
The spikes pierced through his scales and flesh, finally stopped only by the sternum, narrowly missing the heart.
The True Vigor surged, and a burst of force sent two spikes flying back.
Lu Yan’s chest was squirming, and the wound was sealed.
"The full power of Rule is indeed terrifying."
Lu Yan was shocked.
It should be noted that his body refining martial arts were always at their peak when he made his moves.
Plus the formidable True Body True Vigor, his defensive power was incredibly formidable. Even if he stood in the same place and let a master at the Seventh Transformation of the Primordial Spirit hit him, they could not break his defense.
However, he could not resist a being on the He Dao level.
He could break the defense of He Dao, and likewise, He Dao could break his defense.
This is the complete power of Rule; compared with the Seventh Transformation of Primordial Spirit, they are indeed not on the same level.
"He managed to block it."
The White Tiger Immortal Master was also immensely shocked.
Lu Yan was obviously not a being of the He Dao level.
Moreover, he did not feel the power of Rule in Lu Yan, meaning that Lu Yan was not even at the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God, but rather, below it.
And yet, someone below the Sixth Rotation managed to withstand his attack.
Not to mention the Sixth Rotation, even if they had achieved Seventh Rotation, if they were hit by him, there would only be a one-way ticket to death.
"This kid... too freakish... must be eliminated."
The White Tiger Immortal Master’s thoughts raced. He attempted to make another move to shut down Lu Yan, but Lin Yan had already robbed him of his opportunity.
He collaborated with the Primordial Spirit Manifestation, and two Coiling Dragon Spears stabbed towards the White Tiger Immortal Master.
Facing the attack from a being of the same level, the White Tiger Immortal Master dared not be careless and could only turn to defend.
Lu Yan took this opportunity to retreat, creating a distance between himself and his opponent.
At the same time, he activated the Thunder Bell. Continuous soul attacks struck down. Thick bolts of lightning slashed towards the White Tiger Immortal Master.
A phantom image of a huge tree descended from the sky and exploded in the sea of the Immortal Master’s consciousness.
Although the primordial spirit of the White Tiger Immortal Master had already hidden in his body, the explosion of the Big Tree Phantom Image in his consciousness still caused some disturbance.
While launching a soul attack, Lu Yan swapped the Five-Colored Battle Knife for the Exorcism Bow, Demon Destroying Arrow, and fired an arrow with all his might.
The White Tiger Immortal Master dared not receive the Destroying Demon Arrow directly and had to dodge with all his power. However, the arrow followed him with a strange arc.
Inadvertently, the White Tiger Immortal Master was stabbed by Lin Yan’s spear, almost running him through.
With a thunk, the Demon Destroying Arrow hit his leg, piercing through.
"Damn..."
The White Tiger Immortal Master roared in rage. His primordial spirit was disturbed, which caused his reaction to slow, leading him to be hit consecutively.
After being repeatedly hit and injured, the strength of the White Tiger Immortal Master was starting to wane, no longer at peak condition. This made him consider the idea of retreat.
But just as he thought about retreating, both of his hind legs were grabbed by two large hands.
It was Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
"Get lost."
White Tiger Immortal Master struggled, summoning the Rule of Gold, congealing a mass of spikes, stabbing onto his Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
The Primordial Spirit Manifestation of Lin Yan was struck with many holes.
But he still tightly clung to the legs of the White Tiger Immortal Master.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan stood in mid-air, his hands swiftly forming seals, a terrifying power was converging towards him.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan shot another Destroying Demon Arrow, hitting the abdomen of the White Tiger Immortal Master, tearing his abdomen apart, blasting a bloody pit, even the innards were shattered.
Boom!
The next moment, the Great Sun Melting Furnace descended, covering the White Tiger Immortal Master.
It was the same trick they used against Immortal Lord Red Flame before.
With Lin Yan’s strength restored to He Dao level, the Great Sun Melting Furnace he condensed was more solid, and the exquisite patterns on it appeared even more lifelike, more profound, and unfathomable.
The patterns were glowing, inciting energies of destruction, filling every inch of the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
White Tiger Immortal Master felt a sting in his skin, the surface armor was hard to resist, as if it was about to melt.
He howled, his body full of spikes, crashing madly onto the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Thump Thump...
The Great Sun Melting Furnace trembled, the areas hit protruded out, but ultimately held on.
Lu Yan pushed the Thunder Bell to its limit, hovering over the Great Sun Melting Furnace, continuously sending vibrations, disturbing the Primordial Spirit of White Tiger Immortal Master and distracting him from focusing.
Hisss...
White Tiger Immortal Master’s body started to give off puffs of green smoke.
"We’ve got a chance..."
Lu Yan’s eyes shone brightly.
With the two of them teaming up, there was a possibility that they could slaughter this He Dao tier immortal.
"Not good..."
Suddenly, Lu Yan felt a creepy feeling of danger coming from his side.
Without hesitation, he shot an arrow.
A Destroying Demon Arrow shot towards that direction.
With a sound of contact, a figure was hit by the Destroying Demon Arrow and exploded.
But Lu Yan could see it clearly, it was actually a clay figure.
"It’s a trap."
Lu Yan changed his direction and aimed at the high altitude.
But it was already too late.
Two rays of Sword Light descended from the sky.
One aimed at Lin Yan; the other aimed at the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Lin Yan, who was focusing all his strength on refining the White Tiger Immortal Master with the Great Sun Melting Furnace, had not anticipated that such a powerful opponent would mount a surprise attack. It was too late to dodge.
In a critical moment, he could only avoid the vitals, but his right chest was still hit by the Sword Light, piercing through front to back.
As Lin Yan was injured, the power of the Great Sun Melting Furnace weakened. The White Tiger Immortal Master fought back hard and, together with the Sword Light, coordinated both inside and outside attacks on the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Boom!
The Great Sun Melting Furnace exploded, revealing the White Tiger Immortal Master who sprang out and skyrocketed.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Lu Yan asked Lin Yan, moving next to him.
"I am fine. The body of the He Dao level is beginning to be formed by rules and the vitality leaps, it’s not that easy to die."
Lin Yan responded, his eyes solemn, looking towards the sky.
In the high sky, a figure wrapped in a black robe descended from the sky, standing next to the White Tiger Immortal Master, with two war swords floating beside him.
"Martial Spirit..."
Lu Yan’s heart moved.
He sensed the presence of Martial Spirit from the man in the black robe.
But he couldn’t determine the man’s Cultivation Realm, only sensing that it’s unfathomable.
"My lord, why are you here?"
White Tiger Immortal Master communicated with the man in the black robe via transmissions, clearly, his attitude was quite respectful.
"I have come into contact with immortal treasures of various races before and have left Imprint of Great Freedom on them, so I can sense them. However, not long ago, I felt as if the immortal treasure of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins was about to disappear from this world. I felt something wrong, so I came to check it out and didn’t expect that something really happened to the Red Flame Immortal Ruins."
The man in the black robe answered, of course via mental transmission. Lu Yan and Lin Yan couldn’t hear it.
"You have left the Imprint of Great Freedom on the immortal treasure of every race."
The White Tiger Immortal Master had a thought in his heart and became a bit displeased.
But thinking of the man’s status, he dared not show it.
"It is obvious that they want to steal the Lifeblood Sword. I am not healed from my injuries and should not take action yet, retreat first."
The man in the black robe instructed via transmission.
White Tiger Immortal Master nodded. The two of them, one human, one tiger, slowly retreated.
"This man is externally strong but internally weak; his breath is unstable. It seems he’s injured, Lu Yan, take action."
At first, Lin Yan was somewhat apprehensive about the man in the black robe, but it seems like he noticed something. He uttered a low shout, and his energy erupted as he attacked once again.
The Rule of Fire surged. Above the Red Flame Immortal Ruins, a vast amount of scorching energy surged towards Lin Yan, transforming into a giant fire dragon several thousand feet long, lunging towards the White Tiger Immortal Master and the man in the black robe.
The Primordial Spirit Manifestation also brandished its spear and went to attack.
Lu Yan spread his Spiritual Sense in all directions. Four Destroying Demon Arrows flew back and landed in his hand.
Whoosh!
The bowstring vibrated. Lu Yan shot an arrow towards the man in the black robe. In an instant, it was near the man’s brow, moving even faster than Lin Yan’s attack.
The man in the black robe quickly retreated, and the two war swords beside him flew out towards the Destroying Demon Arrow.
However, with a flash of the Destroying Demon Arrow, his two swords missed, and the arrowhead was straight up to his brow.
Although the man in the black robe was surprised, he was not in a panic. While retreating, a black shadow rushed out from his body.
The black shadow was a Martial Spirit.
