Chapter 535: Chapter 510 Dayan Tao Body
Soon after, the little snake conveyed the message to the King of True Beasts through other True Beasts.
Lu Yan and the others, naturally, also received the message from the King of True Beasts.
In Lu Lingxuan’s eyes, a cold and decisive killing intent flickered.
They immediately set off towards Sword Saint Situ and Shen Yueren’s location while continuing to have the King of True Beasts secretly monitor them.
Before long, they were getting closer and closer to Sword Saint Situ and the others.
"If we approach directly like this, we’ll definitely be detected by Sword Saint Situ and his group in advance, which will allow them to escape. We need to lure them into taking action themselves."
Lu Yan said.
"I do have a way, but it comes with certain risks to you..."
Lu Lingxuan said.
"Are you suggesting that we first split from the King of True Beasts, have the King conceal himself in the dark, and the two of us draw out Sword Saint Situ and his group, while the King of True Beasts launches a surprise attack?"
Lu Yan asked.
"It’s so simple to talk to someone as smart as you."
Lu Lingxuan smiled and said, "But from the time we draw them out to the King of True Beasts’ attack, there will certainly be a delay. Can you hold your own against Shen Yueren or Sword Saint Situ during that time?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan answered, "If we include a few True Beasts of the Immortal Ninth Layer to assist, it should be possible."
Escaping alive if not winning the fight? Lu Yan was still quite confident about that.
"Alright, that’s what we’ll do," Lu Lingxuan said.
The two discussed the details and immediately split up from the King of True Beasts, taking only two True Beasts of the Immortal Ninth Layer with them.
At the same time, Lu Lingxuan wrapped Lu Yan and the two True Beasts with her Soul Power, to prevent them from being detected by the Spiritual Sense of Sword Saint Situ and his group.
With Lu Lingxuan’s realm and strength, she could completely shield herself with her own Soul Power, preventing detection by cultivators of the same level.
Last time, she was too severely injured, which was why she kept being locked onto by the opponent’s Spiritual Sense.
Soon, the distance between Lu Yan’s group and Sword Saint Situ and his companions was less than a hundred miles.
To beings of their realm, this distance was close as a whisker.
Upon reaching this proximity, they stopped and began to pretend to have a conflict with the two True Beasts.
Roar! Roar!
The True Beasts roared, their cries shattering gold and splitting rocks, piercing through the heavens.
A hundred miles away, Sword Saint Situ, Shen Yueren, and the others immediately heard the roars of the True Beasts.
Their Spiritual Sense spread out instantly, and they saw Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan chasing down two True Beasts.
"It’s Lu Lingxuan. I didn’t expect her to come near here. Finding her without even searching is like finding shoes that fit without the trouble of looking."
Shen Yueren’s eyes lit up.
Sword Saint Situ was also slightly startled, and although he found it strange, they were powerful enough to dominate Lu Lingxuan and her companions, despite any anomalies.
In the Dragon Alliance’s Immortal Realm, only Lu Lingxuan could contend with them.
Even if other experts from the Dragon Alliance came to help, they would be no match for them.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
"This time, don’t let them escape," Sword Saint Situ commanded in a low voice, rushing towards Lu Lingxuan and Lu Yan’s location with Shen Yueren and ten sword-bearing powerhouses.
A hundred miles was but a blink of an eye for them.
Boom!
Shen Yueren launched a punch from mid-air, with three magics fused into a fearsome punch that surged towards Lu Lingxuan.
"No good... Lu Yan, run!"
Lu Lingxuan’s expression changed drastically as she thrust her spear, blocking Shen Yueren’s punch.
Lu Yan’s expression also changed dramatically, and he turned and fled.
"Boy, you got away last time, still thinking of running?"
The cold voice of Sword Saint Situ rang in Lu Yan’s ears as he slashed out a sword from the air, sending out a golden Sword Light that cleaved towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan pushed Thunder Step to its limit, moving like lightning, his figure flickering across the sky.
With two flickers, he successfully avoided Sword Saint Situ’s Sword Light.
"Hm? To dodge my sword, you’ve got some skill," Sword Saint Situ snorted coldly, his eyes growing even colder.
Last time, it was because of Lu Yan that they failed to kill Lu Lingxuan.
Therefore, his killing intent towards Lu Yan was no less than towards Lu Lingxuan.
"You, assist Shen Yueren in encircling and killing Lu Lingxuan. After I kill this boy, I’ll come back to help you," Sword Saint Situ instructed his ten great experts and, turning into Sword Light, pursued Lu Yan with astonishing speed.
Although Lu Yan exerted his full strength, he was still a bit slower than Sword Saint Situ. The distance between them was closing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
During the chase, Sword Saint Situ’s sword cut through the air relentlessly, with golden Sword Lights flying out and aiming at Lu Yan.
Everything they passed, whether big trees or boulders, were blasted to pieces, turning to dust.
The Sword Qi swept across the ground, plowing deep sword marks into the earth.
With Thunder Step underfoot, Lu Yan continuously changed direction, dodging each Sword Light.
"Let’s see you dodge this, Swordfish," Sword Saint Situ snorted coldly as his aura intensified. Above the Vault of the Sky, the Magic River vaguely emerged, with powerful energy being channeled into Sword Saint Situ.
Enveloped by the Power of Rules, Sword Saint Situ unleashed a sword strike that filled the sky with Sword Qi.
Every strand of Sword Qi was like a little fish.
Countless of these little fish filled the void, rushing towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan exerted himself to dodge, but there were too many Sword Qi fish, and there was no escaping. He could only wield his sword to meet the attack.
Clang clang!
Lu Yan went all out, slicing through three swordfish. His form violently retreated backward, shattering hundreds of trees.
He felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder.
In the end, he hadn’t blocked all the swordfish. A swordfish had penetrated his shoulder, and blood flowed freely.
"So this is the Initial Body, such terrifying strength. My ninth-layer Saint Soldier’s Formula, coupled with the Pure Light, can hardly withstand it."
Lu Yan was inwardly alarmed.
This was also because the opponent’s attack power was dispersed. If the full force had struck him, his injuries would likely have been even more severe.
His current strength was enough to defeat Immortal Ninth Layer cultivators with two or three Organ Miracles, but compared to a Tianjiao monster like Sword Saint Situ, there was still a vast gap.
Lu Yan activated the ’Seven-Injury Scripture,’ converting his injuries into strength, and continued to rush forward.
Getting closer.
He was nearing the lair of the King of True Beasts.
"To withstand my attack at Immortal Sixth Layer, was that the fusion of three types of Rule Power just now? Is this the monster secretly cultivated by the Dragon Alliance? This person, he cannot be left alive."
Sword Saint Situ’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent towards Lu Yan grew stronger, surpassing even that for Lu Lingxuan.
Whoosh!
He clasped his sword with both hands, becoming one with the sword, breaking through the air. In an instant, he covered hundreds of miles.
The distance between him and Lu Yan closed rapidly.
"Soul Sting, combo."
Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit shone as he consecutively launched seven soul stings, stabbing into the sea of consciousness of Sword Saint Situ.
Sword Saint Situ’s Primordial Spirit naturally had treasures to protect it, and a river encircled it, resembling a Magic River scaled down countless times.
Lu Yan’s soul stings struck his Primordial Spirit but were blocked by him.
"An Initial Body’s Primordial Spirit has such protection?"
Lu Yan’s expression grew more solemn.
The strength of the Initial Body exceeded his imagination, with a significant gap compared to the Innate Magic Body.
However, Lu Yan’s Soul Strength was also incomparable to his past, and every breakthrough brought a tremendous increase to his Soul Strength.
In terms of the intensity of Soul Strength alone, the average Immortal Ninth Layer cultivator was no longer a match for him.
Although Sword Saint Situ blocked all seven of Lu Yan’s soul stings, it wasn’t without effect; his Primordial Spirit vibrated, slowing his speed involuntarily.
Lu Yan seized the opportunity and quickly flew a thousand miles.
"A special soul practitioner?"
Sword Saint Situ’s eyes grew colder, as he continued to pursue Lu Yan with sword and self as one.
In a blink, the two had flown thousands of miles.
Just then, a massive figure charged incredibly fast at Sword Saint Situ.
Its spine glowed, covered with Doctrine patterns, making its speed incredibly fast, silent, and stealthy.
It was the King of True Beasts.
The glow on its spine converged to its mouth and finally turned into a terrifying column of light, striking at Sword Saint Situ.
Where the column passed, it seemed as if even space was about to ignite.
"This is... the King of True Beasts."
Sword Saint Situ was hugely shocked.
The King of True Beasts, on its own, was a True Beast with powerful bloodline and the Innate Magic Seal it acquired was also extremely powerful. Overall, its strength was incredible; he dared not be careless and had to abandon chasing Lu Yan, wielding his sword at the King of True Beasts.
Boom!
Their attacks collided, forming a ring of light that scattered in all directions. Everything turned to dust wherever it passed.
"Roar!"
The King of True Beasts let out a roar, like a dragon’s chant. Two dragon horns emerged from its head, flying outwards, transforming into two sharp blades.
Then, its claws struck out, blessed by the Tao Magic Seal, with the Rule Power of heaven and earth converging on its claws, possessing the power to shatter the skies.
Sword Saint Situ unfolded his domain, clashing with the King of True Beasts with his sword.
A man and a beast, in the blink of an eye, exchanged over a dozen moves, unable to determine the victor.
However, it could be seen that the King of True Beasts was slightly at a disadvantage.
At that moment, non-stop roaring came from the ground as a large number of True Beasts ran over.
Just the Immortal Ninth Layer True Beasts alone numbered fifteen.
"I’ll hold off Sword Saint Situ. You take the other True Beasts and go surround and kill Shen Yueren."
The King of True Beasts sent a telepathic message to Lu Yan.
Only five Immortal Ninth Layer True Beasts remained to help the King of True Beasts fight Sword Saint Situ, while the rest charged towards the battlefield of Lu Lingxuan and Shen Yueren.
With a flash, Lu Yan also rushed towards Lu Lingxuan’s side.
Lu Lingxuan, alone, was fighting against Shen Yueren and ten Immortal Ninth Layer experts with swords on their backs, not at all at a disadvantage, waving her Thunder Step like a dragon.
This was the Infinite Dragon Spear, the Supreme Law uniquely created by the Dragon Alliance Master.
Roar roar roar...
Ten Immortal Ninth Layer True Beasts, leading a group of Immortal Eighth and Seventh Layer True Beasts, charged at the ten sword-bearing experts, besieging them completely.
Without others entangling her, Lu Lingxuan let out a long howl, her fighting spirit intensified, her domain unfolded, the spear like a dragon, and dragon shadows pounced at Shen Yueren.
For a time, Shen Yueren staggered backward, falling into a disadvantage.
"Shen Yueren, your Dayan Tao Body is just so-so. Compared to the Tao Soul Fetus and the Initial Taoist Body, you fall far behind."
Lu Lingxuan taunted the opponent with a hint of scorn.
"Hmph, there’s no strongest physique, only the strongest person. With my heart undefeated, even the Initial Body will fall to my hands."
Shen Yueren shouted, the halo behind his head becoming even more dazzling, almost as if it were going to ignite. His strength abruptly rose a level, blocking Lu Lingxuan’s attack.
