After Dugu Shanxuan explained the ins and outs of the situation, Lu Yun still had some doubts and tentatively asked, âThen why didnât he completely erase your consciousness?â
Dugu Shanxuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, âHe wasnât fully awakened, because my arrival forced him to revive ahead of schedule and he didnât reach a perfect state. After hurriedly gravely injuring me, he sealed my consciousness and controlled my body to guard Dragon Lake City in order to prevent other powerful enemies from coming to disturb it.â
âSo heâs still in Dragon Lake City.â A glint flashed in Lu Yunâs eyes.
âThatâs right, heâs still in that blood pool.â Dugu Shanxuan saw that Lu Yun seemed somewhat moved, so he said, âThe two of us definitely wonât be a match for him. Itâs better to go back and report this situation to the Army Commanders.â
Lu Yun shook his head: âIt takes at least several days to go back and forth, and by then, the other party might have already left Dragon Lake City. We have to get rid of him quickly before he fully recovers, otherwise, there will be endless trouble.â
In fact, based on Dugu Shanxuanâs words, he had inferred that the other partyâs strength shouldnât be much stronger than the Golden Core Realm late stage.@@novelbin@@
Otherwise, even if he was interested in the opponent, he wouldnât dare to take such a risk.
âLu Yun, donât take such risks. That guyâs power is just too terrifying,â Dugu Shanxuan looked fearfully and warily at the depths of Dragon Lake City, then said, âWe should hurry up and leave. If weâre discovered by him, we wonât be able to escape even if we want to.â
Seeing Dugu Shanxuanâs fearful and wary expression, Lu Yun really wanted to say that the opponent was powerful, but only in comparison to him.
As for me, itâs not that big of a deal.
âHereâs what weâll do â Iâll stay here and watch, keeping the enemy from escaping. General Dugu, you go back first and report the situation here to the various Army Commanders,â Lu Yun looked at Dugu Shanxuan.
Knowing that he couldnât change Lu Yunâs mind, Dugu Shanxuan reluctantly agreed.
He knew in his heart that it was not very likely for him to persuade Lu Yun to leave with him.
If it werenât for his severe injuries and lack of combat strength, he would stay and face danger together with Lu Yun. After all, he owed his life to Lu Yun.
However, now that he was in such a state, with his strength at its lowest point, staying would only drag Lu Yun down. The best choice was to leave as soon as possible and seek help.
With some unease, Dugu Shanxuan instructed, âIâll go seek help now, but Lu Yun, you have to promise me not to enter rashly.â
âDonât worry, I wonât gamble with my own safety,â Lu Yun nodded in response.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Lu Yun headed towards the center of Dragon Lake City.
Just as Dugu Shanxuan had said, the place was full of bones, emitting a strong Demonic Power, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
âThis Demonic Power is somewhat similar to the power in the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, but not exactly the same.â
Lu Yunâs eyes were mysterious and majestic, full of faint golden light intertwined with dazzling Runes, as if piercing through everything, staring directly at the depths emitting a strong Demonic Power.
âIn that direction.â
Lu Yunâs eyes suddenly narrowed, and then his body shuddered slightly.
In the depths of the densely packed bones, thick Demonic Power converged, and a blood-red Evil Qi enveloped a bright red blood pool.
And in the blood pool, there was a naked young man sitting cross-legged, barely visible.
Countless sword essence blood and Demonic Power gathered at his Dantian, being refined and absorbed by him.
Lu Yun quickly moved in that direction, and as he was about to approach, he noticed that the young manâs eyes seemed to move slightly, and then the speed of refining the essence blood increased greatly, making the surrounding demonic aura more intense.
âLet me see who you really are,â Lu Yunâs eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Immediately, he flashed to the sky above the blood pool and used all his strength to gather on his fist, striking it out.
Boom!
Powerful force erupted, like Earth-shattering, and the layer of Blood Fiendish Force shield surrounding the blood pool instantly collapsed.
The scorching power evaporated the blood pool in an instant, and the powerful force was completely blasted onto the young man.
However, in just a fraction of a breath, the young manâs eyes opened wide, and his body flickered before disappearing from the blood pool.
âAlthough I went through some hardships along the way, I finally managed to condense a decent Demonic Body.â
The black-robed young man stood firmly in the void, flexing his limbs before turning his gaze to Lu Yun.
âHuh? Itâs you?!â
He was no stranger to Lu Yun. He had once encountered a Golden Body Realm lad just after he had reincarnated through possession, and was forced to crush an extremely expensive Spatial Talisman to escape.
Unexpectedly, in just over half a year, the other party had advanced from the peak of the Golden Body Realm to the peak of the Rune Seed Realm, raising their level by a whole realm.
As the black-robed youth observed Lu Yun, Lu Yun was also observing him.
âIâm curious, I feel a sense of familiarity with you, but no matter how much I search my memory, I canât find any memories about you,â
Having said that, Lu Yun didnât wait for the other party to answer and continued, âIn my feeling, we should have met and even fought before.â
The black-robed youthâs pupils flashed with black light and his face transformed into another appearance.
The crimson pupils, the handsome face, combined with the rich demonic power in his body, quickly merged with a figure in Lu Yunâs mind.
âSo itâs you, the defeated loser!â
Lu Yunâs face turned cold, the killing intent revealed: âI let you escape by a fluke last time, but this time you have no chance.â
âHahaha, well, you are the first one who dares to speak like this with me.â
Han Feng laughed loudly, his laughter filled with an extreme chill.
He was a magnificent Demon Venerable, but he was completely defenseless against a mere Golden Body Realm opponent. This was undoubtedly a disgrace to him.
Now that he has recast his demonic body, he must regain his lost honor, or he would be unworthy of his title as the Demon Venerable.
As Han Fengâs last words fell, the atmosphere became completely quiet.
The two stood opposite each other, their hands folded.
There was no visible movement, but the surrounding flow of air gradually solidified.
In an instant, everything seemed to be frozen.
In Han Fengâs profound black and white eyes, there was a crimson color, giving a strange and sinister feeling.
Within those mysterious and deep eyes, it seemed like everything would sink.
In Lu Yunâs eyes, a purple thunderbolt appeared.
Then, in an instant, a shocking thunderclap exploded, directly bombarding Han Feng in front of him.
At the same time, a black light emerged from Han Fengâs brow, colliding with the thunderbolt light.
In a flash, a fierce fluctuation came from the sky above Dragon Lake City, accompanied by the birth of this dazzling light.
Han Feng took a step forward, the aura around him suddenly escalated, his realm rose from nothing to something.
Origin Fluid Realm, Golden Body Realm, early Rune Seed Realm, Perfection of Rune Seed Realm-
Still not stopping there, early Golden Core Realm, mid Golden Core Realm, and then late Golden Core Realm.
Rich demonic power and vast laws surrounded, Han Fengâs profound gaze fell on Lu Yun fiercely.
It was a condescending gaze, with a contemptuous look, like a god looking down on commoners.
âNow that Iâve rebuilt my demonic body, my strength is incomparable to the past. Killing you would be like killing an ant.â
With that said, Han Feng reached out his hand, a pitch-black palm filled with dense demonic power slapped towards Lu Yun. The powerful air currents crushed in all directions, and the void trembled violently under the attack.
This palmâs might was probably no less than the full force of a peak Golden Core Realm expert.
âJust a defeated loser from the past!â
Lu Yun took a step forward, and the momentum around his body exploded. With all the fluctuations dispersed, he slashed out with his sword.
Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash!
Against such a powerful enemy, he held nothing back.
The moment he made a move, it was a Second level Divine Ability.
Seeing the sword, Han Fengâs original contemptuous gaze suddenly changed.
âYouâve actually advanced your Divine Ability to the Second level!â
