Chapter 423: Chapter 398: Victory is in Sight_1
The Martial Spirit of the man in the black robe looked strange.
It was humanoid but had two faces, one in the front and one in the back, one male face and one female face.
It had four arms, yet a snake tail grew from its buttocks.
Bizarre, a creature he had never seen before.
The Martial Spirit collided with the Destroying Demon Arrow.
With a soft thud, two arms of the Martial Spirit exploded and flew back into the man’s body, but the Destroying Demon Arrow was also blocked.
On the other side, Lin Yan and the White Tiger Immortal Master began to fight.
However, having been seriously injured before, the White Tiger Immortal Master had not recovered his full strength, so Lin Yan was overwhelmingly victorious and even summoned the Primordial Spirit Manifestation to help Lu Yan.
Boom!
The Primordial Spirit Manifestation wielded the Coiling Dragon Spear and launched an attack on the man in the black robe.
The man in the black robe retaliated with two war swords, and after a thunderous collision, he was forced to retreat.
"So he’s at the Seventh Transformation of the Primordial Spirit," Lu Yan thought to himself, recognizing the opponent’s cultivation level.
Although he was strong, much stronger than the average person at the Seventh Transformation of the Primordial Spirit, he was still at that level and not at He Dao’s.
Previously, if it weren’t for Lin Yan focusing on controlling the Great Sun Melting Furnace, he would never have been hurt.
Lu Yan drew his bow again, manipulating the Heavenly Earth Power. The Destroying Demon Arrow began to glow as he aimed at the man in black, looking for his chance to strike.
Meanwhile, a Big Tree Phantom Image rushed towards the man in black.
"The Primordial Spirit is still there."
Lu Yan was overjoyed.
When the Big Tree Phantom Image crashed into the other party’s knowledge sea, he found that the opponent’s Primordial Spirit was not hidden in the body.
Lu Yan candidly smashed the Big Tree Phantom Image toward it.
With a thump, the opponent’s Primordial Spirit remained as if unmoved.
But the Big Tree Phantom Image disintegrated.
"How is this possible?" Lu Yan was stunned.
The Big Tree Phantom Image couldn’t even shake the enemy’s Primordial Spirit, this was the first time that he’d experienced such a thing since reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Even those at the level of He Dao, if their Primordial Spirit was directly hit by the Big Tree Phantom Image, would be significantly affected.
Didn’t the White Tiger Immortal Master hide his Primordial Spirit within his flesh and dare not reveal it since it was hit?
Unless this person’s Primordial Spirit is unfathomably strong, far surpassing He Dao.
Lu Yan, refusing to accept defeat, activated the Thunder Bell. The invisible sound waves surged, but as expected, the opponent’s Primordial Spirit wasn’t affected at all. It battled against Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation, showing no signs of slowing and maintaining its combat power.
His attack on the Primordial Spirit was ineffective.
"If attacking the Primordial Spirit won’t work, then I’ll attack your physical body."
In response to the situation, Lu Yan directed the Thunder Bell, as big as a mountain, to smash into the man in black.
Before it hit, thick bolts of lightning like pythons also struck towards the man in black.
That bizarre Martial Spirit on the black-robed man surged out again. The two arms that had been shattered before were now restored. The four arms constantly waved, generating a thick palm strength to block the lightning.
Thud!
The Thunder Bell suppressed and collided with the unusual Martial Spirit.
At this moment, Lu Yan released his bow.
A Destroying Demon Arrow approached the man in black in an instant.
With a flash, the Destroying Demon Arrow split into nine, transforming into nine indistinguishable Destroying Demon Arrows.
Whoosh!
The man in black suddenly extended his hands. His palms filled the sky.
Clink!
Eventually, he managed to seize the shaft of the Destroying Demon Arrow.
But this arrow, which contained all of Lu Yan’s strength, even if caught, was not so easily blocked.
The man in the black robe’s long hair flew with Demonic Qi. The Rule Power surged as he tried his best to resist the Destroying Demon Arrow.
But, he still couldn’t stop it.
The Destroying Demon Arrow slowly pushed forward and finally stabbed him in the chest.
With a snap, the man’s black robe burst open, revealing a pale face.
There was also a palm print on his chest, almost penetrating it.
The Destroying Demon Arrow hit the palm print, passed through his body, and flew into the distance.
Clang!
Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation advanced, his Coiling Dragon Spear swept the man in the black robe and flung him tens of thousands of metres away.
"This is... the aura of Martial Ancestor..."
When Lin Yan caught a glimpse of the palm print on the man’s chest, he couldn’t help exclaiming, finding it hard to believe.
When Lin Yan was young, he was fortunate to have seen the Martial Ancestor once. The memory of his demeanor was deeply engraved in his mind, something he would never forget.
So he was very sensitive to the aura of the Martial Ancestor.
The palm print on the chest of the man in the black robe, containing the aura of the Martial Ancestor, was something he would never mistake.
"If it weren’t for the Martial Ancestor’s severed palm left behind, how could Wan Zhonghui have injured me back then? Crippling me for thousands of years."
The man in the black robe coldly said, his eyes extremely cold, and his killing intent was escalating.
In his palm, a lump of flesh appeared.
The flesh was pitch black and kept squirming, radiating an extremely evil, chaotic, and cold aura. Inside, there were screams and wails, as if it represented a fusion of all the evil and filth in the world.
"The heart of evil, thousands of years in the making, only one lump was refined. It seems that I have to use it today."
The man in the black robe whispered, his eyes flashing with reluctance, and suddenly stuffed the lump of flesh into the palm print on his chest.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
As soon as the lump of flesh was stuffed into the palm print, it began to squirm quickly, filling in the vacuum left by the palm print, and vigorously confronting the energy left by the palm print.
The residual energy of the palm print was extremely yang and rigid, while the flesh lump was extremely yin and evil, and they counteract each other.
In this way, the man in the black robe was freed from the erosion of the palm print, his aura surged violently, and in one fell swoop he crossed over the Seventh Transformation of Primordial Spirit and entered the Eighth Turn of the Primordial Spirit Realm, the He Dao.
"You are the Sect Hierarch of Spirit Sect."
Hearing the other party’s words, Lu Yan’s heart jumped wildly and blurted out.
Wounded by Wan Zhonghui.
He had heard from Wan Zhonghui that at the end of the ancient times, the Hierarch of the Spirit Sect was indeed wounded by Wan Zhonghui.
This man must be the Hierarch of the Spirit Sect without a doubt. He did not expect that he was still alive, leading the rise of the Spirit Sect, crossing over two thousand years of time to make waves again.
The Spirit Sect Hierarch did not answer, his strength surged, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
At the same time, two war swords whistled out, carrying an astonishing might, and at an amazing speed, they flew towards Lu Yan.
With a thought from Lu Yan, the Five-Colored Battle Knife flew out and was held in his hand. He slashed out with all his might, and with two clangs, the two war swords were sent flying, but Lu Yan was also forced to retreat continuously by the tremendous force.
There were threads of sword Qi as thin as hair, which penetrated through the Five-Colored Battle Knife and hit Lu Yan, cutting through the scales on Lu Yan’s body and leaving lines of bloodstains.
The two war swords retreated and then advanced again, constantly attacking Lu Yan.
"Split!"
Lu Yan waved his hand, and the Five-Colored Battle Knife flew out, splitting into five, like five spiritual snakes, clashing with the two war swords.
At the same time, he called back the Thunder Bell and let it hover around his body as a shield to protect himself.
In a direct confrontation, his strength was ultimately not as good as He Dao, and the five battle knives could hardly block the opponent’s two war swords. From time to time, the war swords would break through and he would have to resist with the Thunder Bell.
Boom!
The Spirit Sect Hierarch formed a seal with both hands, one hand rolling with Demonic Qi, while the other hand surged with Immortal power.
This greatly shocked both Lin Yan and Lu Yan.
How could the Spirit Sect Hierarch command the Immortal Power?
Immortal and Demons cannot coexist. How could two conflicting forces coexist in the same person?
The Immortal Power and Demonic Qi on the both hands of the Spirit Sect Hierarch met in mid-air, merged, and turned into a black and white seal that blasted towards Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation.
With only one strike, Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation retreated, the Coiling Dragon Spear was filled with cracks, and the light dimmed.
Just as the Spirit Sect Hierarch wanted to press his attack and break Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation, Lu Yan shot an arrow with all his strength.
The Destroying Demon Arrow split into nine, shooting towards the Spirit Sect Hierarch.
Facing the Destroying Demon Arrow, the Spirit Sect Hierarch dared not be careless. He brought his hands together and burst out with a light of Immortal and Demon, accurately locking onto the real Destroying Demon Arrow.
The two had a fierce collision, and in the end, the Destroying Demon Arrow was sent flying.
"This guy, why is he always able to accurately capture the trajectory of the Destroying Demon Arrow?"
Lu Yan frowned.
White Tiger Immortal Master, a true He Dao, could not catch the trajectory of the Destroying Demon Arrow each time, and each time he failed to block the attack of the Destroying Demon Arrow, he was hit.
Although the Destroying Demon Arrow was powerful, it was useless if it missed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yan had gained the absolute upper hand, and finally condensed a Great Sun Melting Furnace trapping the White Tiger Immortal Master inside.
Seeing this, the Spirit Sect Hierarch let go of Lu Yan and Lin Yan’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation and rushed towards Lin Yan. The Immortal Demon Seal flew down, shattered the Great Sun Melting Furnace, and rescued the White Tiger Immortal Master.
"You are too severely wounded and have exhausted a lot of Origin Energy. Even if the two of us join forces, we cannot kill them, so we should retreat." The Spirit Sect Hierarch sent a message to the White Tiger, stood on the back of the White Tiger Immortal Master.
The White Tiger Immortal Master turned around and left.
The Spirit Sect Hierarch called back the Twin Swords and Immortal Demon Seal to block Lin Yan’s attack.
In the blink of an eye, the White Tiger Immortal Master quickly moved away and vanished from their sight in an instant, already a hundred miles away.
Lu Yan and Lin Yan did not pursue them.
With the Spirit Sect Hierarch joining in, both of them have fallen into a disadvantage. More importantly, they do not even have the ability to kill the White Tiger Immortal Master and seize the Lifeblood Sword now.
The two were silent, with solemn expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
They really hadn’t expected an Hierarch of the Spirit Sect to appear halfway.
Originally, they were about to succeed.
If it weren’t for the Hierarch of the Spirit Sect, they would definitely have been able to kill the White Tiger Immortal Master and seize the Lifeblood Sword today.
That way, not only could they eliminate an Immortal Master, greatly weakening the opponent’s strength, they could also delay the time when other Immortal Masters escape, and gain the initiative for themselves.
However, now, the situation has reversed, and they are completely passive.
The Lifeblood Sword is still in the opponent’s hand, and the opponent is about to rescue the next Immortal Master soon.
The longer the time, the more powerful people the opponent will rescue, and the more disadvantageous it is for them.
"What should we do now?" Lu Yan asked.
"Things are unpredictable. Now that we are completely passive, all we can do, apart from rapidly improving ourselves, is to weaken the opponent’s strength."
Lin Yan said.
"Do you mean that we should enter the Fairy Ruins, kill the Immortal Master before they escape?" Lu Yan asked.
"Yes, according to the order of the lottery draw of the nine Fairy Ruins, the next one they will definitely go to save is the Immortal Master of the Ice Wind Immortal Ruin. But we will go to the other Fairy Ruins and wipe them out, such as Nanmang Immortal Ruin in Nanjiang."
"However, the rules of Nanmang Immortal Ruin are not the Rule of Fire, so I can hardly help you withstand it. Once you go inside, you may not be able to mobilize the Heavenly Earth Power. But I have recovered to the He Dao level and can use the Great Sun Melting Furnace to break the connection between the opponent and the Immortal Treasure. Then we should be able to kill Immortal Master Nanmang." Lin Yan said.
"No problem, let’s do it." Lu Yan said.
